DODGE Complaints

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE STOPPED OR SLOWING TO MAKE A TURN. THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED 3 TIMES WHILE STOPPED ON A CITY STREET AND ONCE WHILE MAKING A TURN IN FRONT OF ON COMING TRAFFIC.

TRUCK WON'T START AFTER SITTING FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME 5-6 HOURS, THEN IT STARTS.POWER WINDOW & LOCKS, VISOR LIGHTS, TRACTION CONTROL, REAR BRAKE LIGHT, TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING LIGHT, ALL WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. AC OUTLET HAS NEVER WORKED, KEY PULLED OUT OF IGNITION WITH TRUCK STAYING RUNNING, KEY STUCK IN IGNITION WON'T RELEASE, BIG THING IS TRUCK SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING, NOW WERE AFRAID OF DRIVING IT. DEALER LOOKED AT NUMEROUS TIMES TO BLAME OUR STEREO IN IT. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING IT HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, DON'T KNOW WHAT ITS GOING TO TAKE FOR A RECALL, SOMEONE GETTING KILLED? CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED IT IN THE DODGE DURANGO, JEEP CHEROKEE AND OTHER VEHICLES BUT NOT RAM 1500, COST 1000- 3000 FROM DEALER WHO IS THE ONLY ONE TO FIX ? IT THE TIPM MOTHER BOARD THAT CONTROLS EVERYTHING AND I'M NOT EVEN A MECHANIC PLEASE HELP THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE 2011 WHEN I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW

I TOOK MY DODGE DART INTO A DEALERSHIP AFTER IT SAID SERVICE TRANSMISSION THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT SO I DROVE IT SOME MORE AND NOW IT SAID SERVICE TRANSMISSION,NO REVERSE,AND ENGINE TEMP TO HOT SO I CALLED CRYSTLER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT SINCE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR SINCE JANUARY 24TH OF THIS YEAR I SHOULDNT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH IT AND THE HUN I LOOK THE VIN UP IT SAYS IT'S A DODGE DART SXT WHEN IT'S A RALLYE SO SOMETHING DON'T MAKE SINCE I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE SCREWED OVER AND HAVE TO PAY 8,000$ FOR A BROKEN CAR

WHILE TRAVELING ON A MAJOR PAVED ROADWAY I PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE UP A LARGE HILL. ONCE MY VEHICLE CRESTED THE HILL, MY VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING CONSIDERABLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME AND USING A SCAN TOOL WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THERE WAS A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER #2. DUE TO THE VEHICLES MILEAGE I CHOSE TO REPLACE ALL THE SPARK PLUGS. AFTER DOING SO I CLEARED THE PREVIOUS LISTED CODE AND DROVE THE TRUCK DOWN THE ROAD. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I AGAIN DROVE IT BACK TO MY HOUSE AND AFTER SCANNING FOR CODES LEARNED THE CYLINDER 2 WAS STILL MISFIRING. I THEN PURCHASED A NEW COIL THINKING THIS WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. I AGAIN CLEARED THE CODE AND DROVE MY VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD. NO SUCH LUCK. I THEN PULLED THE VALVE COVER OVER THE NUMBER 2 CYLINDER AND LEARNED THAT THE ROCKER ARM DID NOT HAVE THE SAME RANGE OF MOTION WHEN I TURNED THE MOTOR OVER AS THE OTHER ROCKERS DID. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH ONLINE I LEARNED THAT OTHER 5.7L HEMI OWNERS SEEM TO HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THE CAM ROLLERS SEIZE AND WEAR AWAY A GROVE IN THE CAMSHAFT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE MOTOR AND I AM NOT SURE WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED.

DRIVING MY VEHICLE DOWN A CITY STREET I STARTED TO APPROACH A STOP SIGN. AS THE VEHICLE CAME ALMOST TO A STOP I HEARD A SCRAPING NOISE AND THEN THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPPED. WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE ENGINE WOULD REV AND THE TRUCK WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS IN PARK WHILE IN "D". I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK TO INSPECT AND FOUND MY DRIVESHAFT WAS NO LONGER ATTACHED AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, TO THE TRANSFER CASE. NO ABNORMAL NOISES WERE HEARD PRIOR TO THIS, OR ANY RUNNING ISSUES THAT WOULD HAVE INDICATED A PROBLEM. THE TRUCK WILL NOT MOVE IN FORWARD POSITION, BUT WILL ROLL BACKWARDS IN NEUTRAL. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE DRIVESHAFT FROM THE TRANSFER CASE AND INSPECT, I FOUND THAT THE PINION NUT HAD BACKED OFF AND WAS STILL ENCASED INSIDE THE REAR FLANGE ATTACHED TO THE DRIVESHAFT & U-JOINT. FLUID HAD BEEN BLOWN OUT AND COVERED ALL OF THE REAR AXLE AND DIFFERENTIAL. I WAS ABLE TO ROLL MY VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL BACKWARDS OUT OF THE ROADWAY. WE HAULED VEHICLE HOME USING ONE OF OUR OTHER VEHICLES AND A TRAILER WITH A COME-A-LONG WENCH. VEHICLE IS STILL NOT REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE DIRECTLY AT THE DEALER AS WELL AS THROUGH THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE CHAT. BOTH INSTRUCTED ME THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE AT THIS TIME. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I FIX THE VEHICLE AND THAT IF A RECALL WAS RELEASED AT A LATER DATE THEN REIMBURSEMENT COULD POTENTIALLY BE ISSUED. THE REASON I CONTACTED DODGE WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MODEL YEARS THAT ARE SLIGHTLY NEWER THAN MY VEHICLE. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR ALMOST 300K VEHICLES FOR THIS EXACT SAME COMPLAINT. I FEEL DODGE SHOULD HAVE DONE FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO HOW LONG THEY HAD BEEN USING THIS PARTICULAR DESIGN FOR THEIR REAR DIFFERENTIAL PINION NUT AND EXTENDED THE RECALL FURTHER.

ENGINE RANDOMLY TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. CAR MUST BE PULLED OVER, AND TRANSMISSION PUT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL, HORN DON`T WORK, MILLAGE DON`T WORK ,GAS LIGHT COMES ON AND NEDDLE MOVES UP AND DOWN ALOT

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE TRIED A NEW ONE AND NOTHING. I HAVE POWER TO THE SOCKET BUT THE LIGHT WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE READ THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE FUSE BOX. IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE THEY MADE THE CAR IN 2007. $1000.00 OR BETTER TO FIX IT.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK IF I DO NOT MANUALLY STOP THE PUMP BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL, THE TANK WILL OVERFLOW. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT MULTIPLE STATIONS USING MULTIPLE PUMPS. THE TANK DOES NOT ALLOW THE PUMPS TO AUTO SHUTOFF FUNCTION TO WORK

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHARGER WHICH SINCE 2.5 YEARS AGO I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE PARTS DEALING WITH THE SUSPENSION. I'VE PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2014. IN 2016 I'VE REPLACED THE FRONT END PARTS. 2017 SAME THING. IT'S NOW 2018 IT'S MAKING THE SAME EXACT NOISE ONCE AGAIN. I LOVE MY CAR. BUT WITH THESE SAME ISSUES YEAR AFTER YEAR HAVE TO BE A RECALL ON THE FRONT END SUSPENSION.
