DODGE Complaints

RACE TRACK TAIL GATE LED LIGHT IS FILLED WITH WATER CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO FAIL. VEHICLE HAS 30,000 MILES AND IS GARAGED. WATER FILLS TAIL GATE LIGHT WHEN IT RAINS OR THROUGH CAR WASH. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE LIGHTS AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD. CT DEALERS ARE ASKING $1,120 TO REPLACE ASSEMBLY WITH THE CAMERA.

I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH MY DEALERSHIP REGARDING THE REPAIR OF T36 SAFETY RECALL T36. I HAVE CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THIS REPAIR, EACH TIME, I AM TOLD IT IS ON ORDER. THIS BEGAN IN SEPTEMBER 2017 AND IS ON-GOING.

THE REAR LIFT GATE CLOSES WITHOUT WARNING RAPIDLY AND WITH GREAT FORCE. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. IT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THE STRUTS ARE BAD. I WAS ALSO TOLD I SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM IN THE SUMMER. I DO NOT THINK IT IS EVER ACCEPTABLE THAT THUS OCCURS. I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN AND THIS US UNACCEPTABLE. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY SINCE I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I CAN PROVIDE VIDEO OF THIS OCCURRENCE.

MY TRUCK WAS IN PARK BUT STILL RUNNING. I GOT OUT TO SHUT THE GATE AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO ACCELERATE BACKWARDS, ROLLING THROUGH MY GATE, KNOCKING DOWN PART OF A NEIGHBOR'S FENCE, OVER TWO CEMENT PARKING STOPS AND INTO A TREE. WHEN I GOT TO THE TRUCK, IT WAS STILL RUNNING AND STILL IN PARK.

JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE, THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT IS ON, CONTACTED SELLER AND HE STATED IT WAS NOT ON WHEN HE SOLD IT TO ME. I TOOK TO AUTO ZONE FOR THEM TO RUN THE NEEDED SCAN ON IT. IT SHOWED REAR WHEEL SENSOR. SO, I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. HE THEN RAN 3 DIFFERENT CODE SCANS ON IT AND IT CAME UP WITH NOTHING. SO, UNFORTUNATELY HE CAN'T FIX IT WITHOUT A CODE. UNLESS I WANT TO THRO MORE MONEY INTO IT JUST TO START REPLACE IKNG THINGS THAT MAYBE MAY NOT BE THE PROBLEM. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. UPON READING OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, I FEEL THERE IS A FAULTY SOMETHING IN THERE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIGURED OUT AND RECALLED. I PRAY TO GOD, MY BRAKES DONT GO OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE VEHICLE. I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND CANNOT AFFORD TO JUST GO OUT AND BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM AND GET IT RECALLED AND FIXED, PLEASE!

THE REAR TAILLIGHTS ACCUMULATE WATER AND HAVE NO WAY TO WEEP/DRAIN. THIS IS NOW A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE TAILLIGHTS HAVE FAILED.

VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION - TREMENDOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH WIFE AND 4 KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A HIGHLY REPORTED ISSUE AND OBVIOUS DEFECT IN MODEL YEAR FOR THIS MANUFACTURER. VEHICLE HAS HAD ESCALATING ELECTRICAL ISSUES FOR MORE THAN 4 YEARS.

THE LIGHT ON THE LIFTGATE COLLECTS WATER WHILE RAINING. THE WATER STAYS INSIDE THE LIGHT AND HAS MADE THE LED LIGHTS GO OUT WHERE THE WATER WAS COLLECTED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. THE LIGHT WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER WHERE PURCHASED AND WITHIN ONE YEAR IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE PART IS CLOSE TO $1000 AND FROM WHAT I CAN TELL IT WILL JUST HAPPEN AGAIN. THE DESIGN IS FLAWED AND REALLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I HAVE NOTICED MULTIPLE OTHER VEHICLES IDENTICAL TO MINE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. WHILE SEARCHING FOR OTHERS WHO MAY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IN SEARCH OF A FIX I HAVE REALIZED THERE IS SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO REALIZED THERE IS NO FIX. ANYONE WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE LIGHT ENDS UP HAVING THE PROBLEM AGAIN. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS FAIR TO THE CONSUMER TO HAVE TO SPEND CLOSE TO $1000 EVERY YEAR TO HAVE A WORKING LIGHT ON THE BACK OF THE CAR. I AM SUBMITTING THIS IN HOPES SOMETHING WILL BE DONE TO FIX THE DESIGN FLAW. THIS ISSUE IS ON MY 2014 DODGE DURANGO R/T WHICH I BOUGHT BRAND NEW. LIKE I SAID I HAVE REPLACED THE LIGHT ONCE ALREADY AND I DO NOT FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP PAYING TO KEEP A WORKING LIGHT.

TAKATA RECALL POWER TRAIN SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. THE CAR WILL NOT START EVEN AFTER GETTING A NEW BATTERY AND REPLACING FUSES. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY PARKED IN A PARKING LOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LANDMARK DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (6850 MT. ZION BLVD, MORROW, GA), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. AFTER RETRIEVING THE VEHICLE, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL AND CRASHED INTO A UTILITY POLE. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED CHEST AND FACIAL INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.
