DODGE Complaints

RIGHT REAR CALIPER BEGAN TO STAY ENGAGED AS I WAS DRIVING, AFTER IT COOLED IT STOPPED UNTIL I DROVE AGAIN, IT BECAME SO BAD THAT IT BURNED MY ROTOR AND COOKED ALL OF THE GREASE IN THE SLEEVES. REPLACED THE ROTOR, PADS AND REGREASED THE SLEEVES, I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

WHILE IN REVERSE THE TRUCK MAKES A LOUD POPPING SOUND AND IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE IS GRABBING THE ROTOR. THE CALIPER WAS CHANGED AND THE ISSUE PERSISTS. I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP IT COULD BE THE DRIVE LINE REAR-END PINION NUT BACKING OFF THE BOLT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, EITHER WAY THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN BACKING UP SLOWLY WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RPMS INCREASED AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO RETRACT ONCE IT WAS RELEASED. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY ACCELERATED TO 55 MPH. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT HAD TO PLACE THE GEAR SHIFTER IN NEUTRAL AND DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY SAFELY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT A TOW WOULD BE PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: [XXX]. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ALLEN SAMUELS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (201 W LOOP 340, WACO, TX 76712, (254) 848-6200) WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. *TT *DT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR CONSUMER STATED THIS WAS THE SECOND ATTEMPT TAKING MY 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHY MY GAS PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR OF MY VEHICLE. AND VEHICLE TENTS ACCELERATE AND PICK UP SPEED, RPMS REVVING UP WHILE DRIVING. THE ISSUE AND DEFECT AND MECHANICAL ISSUES STILL EXIST. I AM SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 16TH 2018. TO TAKE THE VECHICLE BACK TO ALLEN SAMUELS DODGE CHRYSLER FOR THE THIRD TIME. YOU WILL FIND ATTACHED INVOICE FROM MY LAST VISIT FROM THE ABOVE CASE. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. FAMILY LIFE IS AT STAKE HERE EVERY TIME WE GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS VEHICLE THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE GAS PEDAL STICKING TO THE FLOOR AGAIN DRIVING WITH IS ON YOUR MIND IT'S NOTA PLEASANT THOUGHT. YET AND STILL BOTH TIMES THAT WE HAVE TAKING A VEHICLE IN TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC AND INSPECTION OF THE PROBLEM AND DEFECT WE TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 10/18/18*JB

WAS DRIVING AND HAD TO BRAKE SUDDENLY AND THE DRIVERS HEADREST DEPLOYED (ACTIVE HEADREST) BUT THERE WAS NO REAR COLLISION OR ANY COLLISION FOR THAT MATTER. MY HEAD NEVER TOUCHED THE HEADREST. JUST HEARD A POP AND THE SPRING LOADED HEADREST POPPED FORWARD AND WILL NOT RESET. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND IT IS GOING TO COST APPROXIMATELY $800 TO FIX THE HEADREST.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICAL CUTS OFF. THE DEALER SAID ITS THE VEHICALS TIPM IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ORIGINALLY THEY THOUGHT .ORG WAS THE WIN PRIME SILK .NET WAS REPLACED. THERE WAS A RECALL BUT NOT FOR MY YEAR. 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN .THIS IS NOT JUST AN EXPENSE ITS DANGEROUS, I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE THE CAR BEHIND ME WASNT LOOKING

WHILE INSPECTING CARS, DISCOVERED HOW HOT THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP WAS, UNIT 252. ON INSPECTION OF THE WIRING CONNECTION, FOUND SCORCHING IN THE CONNECTOR. ON 6 OTHER CARS THIS HAS RESULTED IN A PIN HOLE MELT THROUGH IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP ALLOWING GAS TO ESCAPE UNDER THE BACK SEAT. THIS IS THE NINTH SUCH VEHICLE IN 18 MONTHS, WITH US. *TT

WHILE INSPECTING THE FUEL PUMP WIRING CONNECTION, DISCOVERED A BURN PATTERN IN THE WIRING, LIKE WHAT HAS OCCURED ON 7 OTHER CARS, THIS BEING UNIT 247, BUT NOT MELTED THROUGH ENOUGH YET TO ALLOW GAS TO ESCAPE. *TT

MY 2010 DODGE JORUNEYS HORN GOES OFF ALL ON ITS OWN. WHEN ITS PARKED, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND ALSO WHEN I AM DRIVING. SOMETIMES IT WILL GO ON FOR A FEW MINUTES TO WHERE I HAVE TO PULL THE FUSES TO GET IT TO STOP. ALSO THE CAR WONT ALWAYS START, I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE AND PUT IT IN N IN ORDER TO GET IT TO START. THERE ARE TIMES JM AT A REDLIGHT OR IN TRAFFIC AND IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF AND NOT TURN BACK ON. IT CLICKS BUT WILL NOT START. SOMETIMES IT TAKES MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET IT TO START. IVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP TO TRY TO GET ALL THIS FIXED AND THEY CANT SEEM TO FIND THE CAUSE OF EAITHER PROBLEM. ITS EMBARASSING WHEN YOUR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOUR HORN STARTS BEEPING AND PEOPLE IN FRONT OF YOU START GETTING MAD. ALSO DANGEROUS WHEN IT JUST SHUTS OFF AND WONT START BACK UP.

ON OCCASION THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT ENGAGE AND ON OCCASION IT DOES ENGAGE AND WHEN YOU TRY TO SLOW DOWN THE BRAKE BECOMES HARD TO DEPRESS AND THE CAR STARTS TO ACCELERATE BUT REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO DEPRESS BRAKE OR PUMP BRAKES ALLOWS CONTROL AGAIN OVER SPEED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING OVER 45 MPH . AS THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY CAUSE HAS NOT BEEN FOUND AND THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN CRUISE CONTROL HAS BEEN ENGAGED . PROBLEM NOTICED IN 2014 WHEN I GOT CAR TO PRESENT DATE .. NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

I HAVE TRIED ON MANY TIMES TOO ARRIGO DODGE IN WEST PALM BEACH ,FLORIDA TOO COMPLETE THE SAFETY RECALL .THEY HAVE REFUSED TOO ADDRESS THE ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK . I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DODGE MOTOR DIVISION MORE TIMES THAN A FEW ,THEY TURN A BLIND-EYE TO THE DEALERSHIP . THIS TRUCK WAS A LEMON FROM THE SHOW-ROOM FLOOR ,I HAVE REPLACED THE COMPUTER , EMISSIONS SYSTEM ,FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM , WIRING HARNESS , AND MANY MORE REPAIRS .THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS VERY DANGEROUS ,SOMEONE IS GOING TOO GET A SERIOUS INJURY FROM THIS ISSUE. THE TRUCK ALSO SUFFERS FROM SUDDEN ACCELERATION , AT ANY GIVEN TIME . I HAVE CALLED THE CHRYSLER REP COUNTLESS TIMES , AND THEY HAVE A CARE LESS ATTITUDE ,I VOICED MY OPINION ON THE CHAT LINE ,AND...THEY WERE QUITE AMUSED AT THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH OR INJURY . I WANT A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION OF THE DEALERSHIP ,THE FACTORY , AND BRING IN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ON THESE CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES ! PLEASE DO SOMETHING SOON , THIS IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH !
