DODGE Complaints

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE HORN BLOWS LIKE YOU ARE HOLDING THE HORRN DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES N TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. IT ALSO HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. WHILE WE WERE SLEEPING. WE THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS STEALING IT. AT LEAST 4 TIMES IT WENT OFF. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP IN OCT. 2017 THEY TOOK OUT THE HORN FUSES. BECAUSE IT BLOWED ALL NIGHT AND IT KILLED THE BATTERY. THEY CALLED IT THE GHOST HORN. SO I'M DRIVING AROUND NOW IN THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT A HORN.

IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE SINCE I GOT THE CAR THAT I WAS UNABLE TO BUCKLE UP. THE SEAT BELT WAS LOCKED AND I COULD NOT PULL IT SO THAT I COULD BUCKLE MYSELF ... KIND OF SCARY WHEN YOUR DRIVING WITHOUT A SEAT BELT. I TRIED OPENING THE DOOR CLOSING IT TURNING ON AND OFF THE CAR PUTTING IT IN PARK ETC IN DIFFERENT PATTERNS NOTHING WORKED ... I HAD NO CHOICE I HAD TO DRIVE TO PICK UP MY KIDS AFTER LEAVING WORK

AIR CONDITIONING SUDDENLY WENT OUT. TOOK CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER I PURCHASED FROM. THE REAR AIR CONDITIONING HAD QUIT. THE TXV HAD FAILED AND WAS LEAKING FREON. CALLING OUTSIDE MECHANICS FOR A REPAIR ESTIMATE, THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH WILL TELL YOU THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM RELATED TO THE AC. THE REPAIR WAS DONE BY CHRYSLER DEALER. I CALLED CHRYSLER THEY MADE A CASE. CHRYSLER IS AWARE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THEY DID HELP WITH COSTS.

HORN STARTS SOUNDING WHEN CAR IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND ENGINE IS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 OR MORE TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS.

I PURCHASED A 2015 DODGE DART 3/19/18 FROM A DEALERSHIP. I JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGE DONE WHICH WAS RECOMMENDED. THE CAR JUST RECENTLY STARTED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON. WE CHECKED THE BATTERY (WHICH WAS A YEAR OLD) AND THE ALTERNATOR AND THEY WERE FINE. I WENT TO AUTO ZONE TO CHECK IT OUT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT AT AND THEY SAID IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS. NEVER DID THEY MENTION THE OIL BEING THE ISSUE. I GET A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE BECAUSE THE OIL WAS LOW THE CAR WILL STALE TO PROTECT THE ENGINE. FIRST OF ALL, IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD IF THIS CAN RANDOMLY STALL, AND SECOND NO LIGHTS CAME ON FOR THE WARNING. THE CARS METERS SHOWED THAT THE OIL QUALITY WAS AT 85% AND GOOD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I CHECKED THE OWNERS MANUAL AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT PERTAINS TO THIS CAR STALLING.

GEAR SHIFT WAS LIGHTLY BUMPED, CAUSING IT TO BE THROWN INTO PARK WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH. VEHICLE MADE A VERY LOUD NOISE, SUDDENLY WOULD NOT DRIVE FORWARD. COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT NECESSARY.
