DODGE Complaints

I WAS TRAVELING TO WORK ON A BUSY, 3-LANE ROAD. I WAS IN THE FAR-RIGHT LANE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, WAITING TO CONTINUE STRAIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF AND THE DISPLAY INFORMED ME TO PUT MY CAR IN P (PARK) AND THEN BACK INTO THE DESIRED GEAR. I PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND COASTED INTO THE CLOSEST PARKING LOT OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHERE I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND THEN STARTED IT BACK UP AGAIN. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, THERE SEEMED TO BE NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY SCARY SITUATION FOR ME AND I WAS THANKFUL TO BE IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE WHEN IT HAPPENED, THANKFUL I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP WHEN IT HAPPENED, AND THANKFUL NOBODY WAS INJURED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT DODGE NEEDS TO ADDRESS AND GET FIXED. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE PLACED FOR THE SAFETY OF THOSE ON THE ROADS.

STATIONARY AND MOTION LOW OIL PRESSURE DTC CONSTANTLY COMING ACTIVE, POSSIBLY A ECU FAULTY OR BAD SOFTWARE LOADED INTO IT.. STEERING CONSTANTLY WANTING TO SWAY BACK AND FORTH WHEN IN MOTION MAKES TRUCK BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH FROM LANE LINES, HAD BEARINGS,HUB,STRUTS,LOWER CONTROL ARMS,AND RACK AND PINION REPLACED STILL NO BETTER IF NOT WORSE, FOUND THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE ALSO BELIEVE THAT STEERING GEAR BOX THAT WAS INSTALLED WHEN TRUCK CAME FROM MANUFACTURER IS FAULTY AND THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR MY HORN START TO HONK. I FEW SECONDS LATER SOME OF MY WARNING LIGHTS STARTED TO LIGHT UP AND I DECIDED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP THE CAR. AFTER I DID THIS I OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I ASSUME THIS MIGHT BE THE INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I AM UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE OR PLACE IT IN DRIVE. IT IS TOTALLY UNDRIVEABLE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREWAY AND MY CHALLENGER LOST POWER AND SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 15 MILES BACK TO MY APARTMENT AND NOW ITS JUST SITTING I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND LOW AND BEHOLD THERE IS A RECALL FOR AN ALTERNATOR AND DIODS RECALL NUMBER T-36 SO I CALLED TO DODGE DEALERS AND ONCE AGAIN THEY ARE GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND STEVENS CREEK DODGE SAID A MONTH AND A HALF REDICULOUSE AND FREMONT DODGE GIVES TWO MONTHS UNTIL THEY CAN REPLACE IT DODGE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY ONLY GET A FEW PARTS TO WORK WITH I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT I RECENTLY GOT MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DONE AND THEY BROKE THE PART IM NOT EVEN SURE IF IT IS ACTUALLY WORKING HUGE SAFETY HAZARD I NEED MY VEHICLE REPAIRED ASAP SOMEONE NEEDS TO CONTACT ME ASAP I ALSO HAD TO USE UP MY TOWING MILES FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY IM REQUESTING A REMBERSMANT FOR THAT AND IF THEY CAN REPAIR A SERIOUSE ISSUE WITH MY DODGE IN A TIMELY MANNER THEY NEED TO SUPPLY A LOANER SO I CN GET TO WORK AND IF I CANT GET ANY RESULTS ON THIS ISSUE I WILL SEEK LEGAL ADVICE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE I WAS ALMOST IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT I COULD NOT TURN MY WHEEL AS THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN I HAVE IT ALL ON MY DASHCAM I WILL BE EXPECTING A CALL OR EMAIL ON THIS ASAP

I STARTED HEARING A METAL CLANKING NOISE IN THE FRONT OF MY CAR. IT PROGRESSED AND GOT WORSE AS I DROVE MORE. I BROUGHT IT INTO A REPAIR SHOP ONLY TO FIND OUT THE SUBFRAME - BOTH FRONT AND REAR- IS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND ROTTED OUT. THEY COULD PUT THEIR FINGER THROUGH THE FRAME IT WAS SO FRAIL. IT ONLY HAS 120K MILES ON IT. IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE SO NOW I AM OUT OF WORK, ETC UNTIL I REPLACE IT OR FIX IT. THE NOISE OCCURS WHENEVER TURNING, HITTING BUMPS, AND OCCASIONALLY WHILE JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT. IT DOES NOT OCCUR WHILE ON A HIGHWAY.

VEHICLE WILL NOT COME OUT OF CRUISE BY SWITCH OR SOMETIMES NOT BY BRAKE ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S BEEN RAINING. NO ACTION. WHEN VEHICLE IS IN HIGHWAY ABOVE 60 MILES /HR.

PURCHASED A FEW WEEKS AGO FROM A DEALER. THE STEERING BECAME NOTICEABLY 'OFF' AND SPORADIC WHILE DRIVING. TOOK TO A FEW SHOPS AND SAYS THE GRAM IS CRACKED IN THE FRONT AND THE WHEEL IS SEPARATING FROM THE CAR.

ENGINE LIGHT ON - DETECTED THAT THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. FAILURE CODE ZZ. ACCORDING TO THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN; THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE JOURNEY BUT HAS YET TO BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.

2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR ACTUATOR FAILURE. SLIDING DOOR WILL NO LONGER OPEN. APPROXIMATE MILEAGE IS 43,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WIRE HARNESS UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS CAUSING THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.
