DODGE Complaints

I PURCHSED THIS VEHICLE USED .AFTER 2 MONTHS THE ENGINE IS SPUTTERING WHEN GOING UP HILL. IT DOESNT FEEL OR SOUND RIGHT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CALIBER. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE AND POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. ALSO, THE OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR WAS DISCONNECTED. FLETCHER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (3099 N MORTON ST., FRANKLIN, IN, (317) 738-4170) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 178,772.

AS I AM ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 70 TO 75 THE CAR SUDDENLY START LOOSING SPEED TO THE POINT I NEED TO PUT MY BLINK AND STOP IN THE SIDE OF THE ROOD, THEN I HAVE TO TURN IT OF AND TURN IT BACK ON AND START HEADING, THIS HAPPENS REGULARLY. ON A TRIP OF A DISTANCE OF 90 MILES I HAVE TO DO THAT LIKE 3 TIMES. ITS DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME THAT ARE TRAVELING AT THAT SAME SPEED CAN COME AND CRASH BEHIND ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST SPLIT.OPEN BUT WAS NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT. CAR WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME BUT NO ONE WAS IN PASSENGER SEAT. CAN NOT GET HEADREST TO PUSH BACK CLOSED.

THE GPS SYSTEM ON MY VEHICLE PROVIDES INACCURATE INFORMATION THAT MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS EASILY. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY RADIO/COMPUTER UNIT IT WILL STATE IM IN DIFFERENT LOCATION OR IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE IT WILL DIRECT ME TO TURN IN PLACES THERE IS NO ROAD. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AS I USE MY NAVIGATION A LOT NOW I HAVE TO USE MY PHONE AS IM SCARRED TO USE THIS UNIT. SOMETIMES IT WILL JUST NOT TURN ON WHEN I START THE VEHICLE. THE SCREEN WILL SOMETIMES PP UP A MESSAGE THAT STATES MY VEHICLE PHONE NEEDS ASSISTANCE CONTACT DEALER BUT WE ALL KNOW THE DEALERS SUCK AS I HAVE WENT IN 3 TIMES NOW JUST TO TALK TO SOMEONE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND THEY JUST TELL ME ITS DIFFERENT ISSUES AND GET THE RUN AROUND FOR IT TO NOT BE FIXED. NOT SURE ON EXACT TIME BUT AROUND JUNE STARTED NOTICING THE ISSUE.

INTERMITTENT TURN SIGNAL OPERATION PROBLEM. RIGHT SIGNAL TURNS ON WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SIGNAL LEFT, HAVE TO THEN SWITCH TO RIGHT AND BACK TO GET LEFT TO TURN ON. HAPPENS WHILE IN OPERATION AND IN MOTION, CHECKED OUT FINE WHEN PARKED.

ON 07/06/2018 STARTED ENGINE, WITHIN 30 SECONDS CAR SHUT OFF . AS IF I TURNED OFF THE KEY.RESTARTED CAR AND SHIFTED TO REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF DRIVE, STALLED. STARTED CAR ,PUT CAR IN REVERSE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT INGAGE 15 TO 20 SECONDS LATER CAR WENT INTO GEAR AND STALLED 4 TIMES BEFORE CAR WOULD MOVE WITHOUT STALLING. TWO TENTHS OF A MILE CAR STALLED PULLING OUT ON MAIN ROAD. CAR STARTED WOULD NOT MOVE WAITED FOR TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE AS TRAFFIC IS IS STARTING TO LINE UP. MILE LATER CAR STALLS AGAIN EVERTHING OFF START CAR AND WAIT FOR TRANSMISSION TO GO INTO GEAR. THIS HAPPENS EVER DAY FOR THE PASS 2 MONTHS DODGE DEALER SAID MY COILS WERE BAD HAD THEM CHANGED NEXT DAY SAME PROBLEM. CAR NOW SITS TILL SOMETHING IS DONE.DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING ON ROAD. THIS HAPPENS MOVING AND STATIONARY

MY DODGE AVENGER RECENTLY STARTED STALLING/SHUTTING DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. I LOOSE ALL POWER TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES, I CANNOT CONTROL THE CAR. THANKFULLY THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED ON LOCAL ROADS. I AM TERRIFIED IF IT HAPPENS WHILE I AM ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH I TRAVEL EVERYDAY ON MY WAY TO WORK AND BACK.

THE IGNITION SWITCH GETS STUCK AND WILL NOT TURN. IT STARTING TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY NOW ABOUT 3 TIMES PER WEEK.
