DODGE Complaints

BAD CAMS IN LESS THAN 100,000 MILES. ENGINE MISFIRE ON 5TH CYLINDER, UNABLE TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING. $4,700 REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING AND DURING ACCELERATION VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING AND ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED CAM SHAFT AND PISTON PROBLEMS. $4,464 AND THERE'S ONLY 103,000 MILES ON ENGINE. I WAS ONLY 3,000 MILES OVER EXTENDED WARRANTY. CHECKED ONLINE AND THERE'S MANY MORE WHO ARE HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEMS. STILL OWE $20,000 ON TRUCK. DODGE SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THIS. I'M NOT A RICH PERSON, HAD TO TAKE OUT A LOAN IN ORDER TO PAY BUT THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIXED IT YET BECAUSE THE SPECIFIC PART IS ON BACK ORDER. THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING.

FAULTY ABS MODULE DUE TO WATER LEAK, RECALLED ON VERY MANY 2012 DODGE JOURNEYS. FOR SOME REASON, NOT RECALLED ON MINE. NOTICED BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON, I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE BY MY OWN MECHANIC AND CONFIRMED OVER THE PHONE WITH THE DODGE DEALERSHIP THAT I WAS COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. AFTER DROPPING MY CAR OFF AND THE MECHANICS THERE NOT FIXING THE ISSUE, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN ACTUALLY WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. SO MY ABS MODULE IS FAULTY FOR NO OBVIOUS OR APPARENT REASON. I RARELY DRIVE ON HIGHWAYS, I NEVER GOT INTO ANY ACCIDENTS, THE 3 NOTIFICATION LIGHTS AS NOTED ABOVE JUST CAME ON ONE DAY WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON.

THE HUB UNIT BROKE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO GO IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO MOVE FORWARD AND THE STEERING WAS OFF. THERE WAS A POUND CLANKING NOISE RIGHT AFTER I STARTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND THEN IT BROKE.

REAR CALIPERS CONTINUE TO SEIZE EVEN AFTER REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT. THIS CAUSES THE REAR BRAKES TO GRIND DOWN THE PADS AND ROTORS. A QUICK ONLINE SEARCH REVEALED OVER 200 CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. SOME OF THE EXAMPLES WERE BEFORE THE VEHICLE EVEN HAD 50K ORIGINAL MILES. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A RANDOM ISSUE BUT RATHER A DESIGN FLAW THAT THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE LIABLE FOR .

I HAD AN ELECTRICAL FIRE IN THE HEADLINER BEHIND THE PASSENGER SUN VISOR TODAY 7/18/18. MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PRIOR IN 2014 RELATED TO THE RECALL CONCERNING THIS WIRING. SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING, SMOKE STARTED ROLLING OUT FROM BEHIND THE HEADLINER. I PULLED INTO AN AUTO SHOP AND THEY LOCATED THE SOURCE OF THE FIRE.

WOKE UP ONE MORNING AND STARTED MY CAR AND A GREY SCREEN COVERED THE SPEEDOMETER. I RESTARTED MY CAR AND NOW HALF OTHE SCREEN IS GRAYED OUT.
