DODGE Complaints

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WON'T GO OFF AND VEHICLE WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT TO CAUSE THIS OCCURANCE! MY SON AND FIANC WERE JUST N A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT IN MY FIANC'S CHEVY AVALANCHE THAT CAUSED THE TRUCK TO ROLL AND OUR FRIEND, PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE, TO BEN KILLED. NOW MY SPECIAL NEEDS 10YEAR OLD WON'T GET IN THIS NEW CAR BECAUSE BABY HE'S AFRAID SINCE THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON IT WILL CAUSE US TO GET INTO A VEHICLE. I NEED A SOLID RESOLUTION TO THIS ASAP! I JUST FINALLY GOT HIM TO RIDE IN A VEHICLE AGAIN!

I'M ONE OF THE FEW OWNERS OF A RAM 1500 WITH A COMMON PROBLEM. THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. IT HAS BECOME A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH RAM OWNERS LIKE MYSELF. FIRST IT SEEMS AS IF YOUR FUEL PUMP HAD GONE OUT AND YOUR TRUCK WILL NOT START. AFTER CONTACTING MECHANICS AND PAYING AROUND $900TO REPLACE IT THE PROBLEM STILLS EXIST. THEN AFTER SONOROUS ATTEMPTS TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS IT'S THE RELAY THAT RAM DEALERS KNOW ALL ABOUT. IT COST AROUND A$1000 OR MORE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I'VE CONTACTED THEM AND MADE THEM AWARE OF THE PROBLEM THAT MYSELF AND OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING AND THEY SAY THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO THEY WILL NOT RECALL THE PROBLEM THEY KNOW YOUR GOING TO HAVE PRIOR TO PURCHASING THE TRUCK. PLEASE HELP US TO RESOLVE THIS ONGOING ISSUE. THANKYOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO ENGAGE. IN ORDER TO AVOID A REAR END COLLISON, THE CONTACT SWERVED TO THE LEFT AND DROVE ONTO A GRASS MEDIAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED DEERY BROTHERS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM IOWA CITY (651 HIGHWAY 1 WEST, IOWA CITY, IA 52246, (319) 887-9000), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 104,875.

AT ABOUT 93,000 MILES, AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ILLUMINATED. APPARENTLY NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. SAME VEHICLES DIFFERENT YEARS HAD RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING. WILL THEY STILL DEPLOY IN CASE OF ACCIDENT? OR WILL THEY DEPLOY AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT?

UPON FULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN AND APPLYING THE BRAKE, MY CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT A DRIVE A BLOCK OR TWO BEFORE IT DID THE SAME THING. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND AFTER LOOKING FOR A PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL DAYS THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND IT STARTED AND DROVE FINE. SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS (JAN-JUNE 2018) I HAVE TRIED TO START MY CAR AND IT WILL NOT START. SOMETIMES MOMENTS LATER IT WILL START, SOMETIMES HOURS LATER IT WILL START. UPON SEARCHING ONLINE FOR POSSIBLE PROBLEMS, I FOUND MANY WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUES (CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, AND CAR NOT STARTING). IT SEEMS THERE WAS A RECALL TO FIX THESE VERY PROBLEMS. THE RECALL WAS REGARDING THE IGNITION MODULE. I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY CAR FROM ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL AND I DO NOT KNOW IF THE RECALL WAS ADDRESS INITIALLY. HOW CAN I FIND OUT. IF MY CAR WAS NOT FIXED, HOW CAN I GET THE RECALL FIXED NOW? IF IT WAS FIXED, THEN THE VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE "RECALL FIX" DID NOT ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN CAUTIOUS DRIVING IT AS I DO NOT WANT THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING, AGAIN NOR DO I WANT TO BE STRANDED AGAIN BECAUSE IT WON'T START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE AND THEN DECELERATE WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BERGEY'S CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (408 HARLEYSVILLE PIKE, SOUDERTON, PA 18964, (215) 721-3470) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE MERGING INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, A LOUD NOISE EMITTED UNDER THE HOOD AND SMOKE WAS SEEN COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC, INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, AND FOUND THAT THE ENGINE COOLING FAN DETACHED, WHICH DAMAGED THE RADIATOR AND ENGINE. AS A RESULT, THE COOLANT AND OIL WERE LEAKING AND SEVERAL WIRES WERE CUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY REPAIR FOR THE ENGINE COOLING FAN REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE REAR TIRES CONSTANTLY VIBRATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHERWOOD AUTOMOTIVE (1915 N SALISBURY BLVD, SALISBURY, MD 21801, (410) 548-4600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIE ROD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIE ROD WAS LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS AWAITING REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 190,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY GASOLINE STARTED SPEWING UNDER PRESSURE FROM TOP OF FUEL PUMP, PULLED INTO PARKING LOT AWAY FROM OTHER VEHICLES AND WAITED FIVE TO TEN MINUTES BEFORE GASOLINE STOPPED SPRAYING OUT. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME WHERE I COULD CHECK TO FIND OUT IF IT WAS ONLY A RUBBER HOSE AS I EXPECTED OR SOMETHING ELSE. I FOUND OUT IT WAS A FITTING AT TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP WHICH LOOKS LIKE METAL CONNECTOR WHERE THE GASOLINE WAS SPRAYING OUT OF A PIN HOLE, I LOST ABOUT 5 GALLONS OF GAS IN 14 MILES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING.
