DODGE Complaints

VAN STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING. GETS WORSE WHEN I RELEASE THE GAS AND WHEN I PUT ON THE BREAKS. THE SHOP HAS FOUND THAT BOTH THE MOTOR MOUNTS AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS ARE BROKEN.THEY SAID IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS VAN AND IT IS UN SAFE TO DRIVE. ALSO WIRE HARNESSES IN SLIDING DOORS WONT STAY IN THE TRACK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE BEING OPERATED AT A LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ARRIGO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM WEST PALM BEACH (6500 OKEECHOBEE BLVD, WEST PALM BEACH, FL), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED.

THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FILED WITH THE 2007 DODGE NITRO WITH VARIOUS ELECTRICAL ERRORS. THIS VEHICLE IS UNPREDICTABLE AND UNSAFE. IMAGINE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH YOUR TWO TODDLERS AND THE VEHICLE STALLS. NEXT YOUR HORN STARTS HONKING OUT OF CONTROL, THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS BEGIN TO UNCONTROLLABLY LOCK AND UNLOCK. YOU HAVE TO OPEN DOORS AT THE PERFECT TIME TO GET OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE. THAT'S NOT ALL! THEN YOUR WINDOWS START TO ROLL DOWN BY THEMSELVES. OH AND DON'T FORGET THE CRAZY ADVENTURE YOU'LL ENDURE WHEN YOU DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE AT NIGHT AND THEN YOUR HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF BY THEMSELF! YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT KIND OF DAY YOU'RE ABOUT TO HAVE WHEN YOU GET INTO THIS DEMON CAR. IF YOU LIKE TO LIVE LIFE ON THE EDGE I HAVE THE PERFECT VEHICLE IN MIND FOR YOU! IT SOUNDS LIKE MULTIPLE NITROS WERE EFFECTED BY THE SAME ISSUE, BUT WE WOULD RATHER SWEEP THE ISSUE UNDER THE RUG INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE DEATH TRAPS. I AM APPALLED THAT THIS VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN RECALLED. MAYBE SOMETHING WILL BE DONE WHEN ENOUGH PEOPLE DIE RELATED TO THE MALFUNCTIONS.

PASSENGER HEADREST AIRBAG SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED INJURING PASSENGER. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.

HAD TO TAKE MY FATHER TO THE HOSPITAL. LOOKED UP THE HOSPITAL ON THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND THE ADDRESS USED FOR THE HOSPITAL WAS 10 YEARS OUT OF DATE. THEN TRIED TO USE THE ROAD NAME FOR THE HOSPITAL AND THAT COULD NOT BE FOUND. IT IS A 2015 CAR, THERE IS NO REASON THAT THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM SHOULD BE OUT OF DATE. I CONTACTED THE COMPANY THREE TIMES TO REPORT THIS ISSUE. EACH TIME I AS TOLD IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM.

ON HOT DAYS CAR BEGAN LEAKING AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM ASSUMED VENT ON TOP OF CABLE SHIFTER LINKAGE. CAR WAS SITTING AND NOT DRIVEN IN A APPROXIMATELY 3 DAYS AND WAS POSITIONED IN A FORWARD INCLINE. DIP STICK SHOWED HIGH ON THE FILL TUBE ABOVE HASH MARKS. ALSO HORN BLARING WITHOUT TOUCHING. REGARDLESS IF SOMEONE IS IN THE CAR OR NOT. THE HORN WILL GO OFF ALL TIMES OF DAY OR NIGHT. IT IS A HONK. HONK....HOOOOOONK.....HOOOOOOOONK. BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE IT IS SOMEONE IS ANGRY OR AN EMERGENCY IS TAKING PLACE AND OTHER DRIVERS NEED TO MOVE. IT IS RANDOM ON WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN

I'VE HAD A FEW RECALLS ON THE TRUCK. SEVERAL LISTED WIRING. THEY'VE ALL BEEN 'CORRECTED' OR CHECKED BY A DEALER. MY TRUCK CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED ALL THE ELECTRICAL UNDER THE HOOD TODAY. LESS THAN A MONTH SINCE THE 'ELECTRICAL' RECALL WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED. IT WAS STOPPED BUT RUNNING AT A GAS STATION AFTER A SHORT 3 MINUTE DRIVE. *TT

I DROVE MY VAN TO TOWN AND BACK, NO MORE THAN A 10 MILE TRIP. PARKED IT IN THE USUAL SPOT. TWO HOURS LATER, WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE SHOWER AND I WAS IN MY BEDROOM SCRATCHING OFF LOTTERY TICKETS WHEN THE NEIGHBOR WAS YELLING ABOUT OUR VAN BEING ON FIRE. I LOOKED OUTSIDE AND SURE ENOUGH MY VAN WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES! NOTHING IS LEFT OF IT BUT A METAL FRAME. WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BURN OUR HOME DOWN. WEIRD THING IS, YEARS AGO MY SUPERVISOR'S 2003 CARAVAN WAS SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT FOR 7 YEARS WHEN IT CAUGHT ON FIRE AND CAUGHT THE CAR NEXT TO IT ON FIRE AND BURNT BOTH DOWN! IT'S TOO BAD BECAUSE I ACTUALLY LOVED MY VAN!
