DODGE Complaints

THE REAR ARMS ON THE TIRE WHEELS BENT IN CAUSING THE TIRES TO GO COMPLETELY WORE DOWN ON THE INSIDES. IT WAS HARD TO SEE BECAUSE THE MIDDLE AND OUTSIDE WERE FINE. IT COST $457.00 TO REPAIR THE GARAGE SAID THIS WAS COMMON. I HAVE THEREPAIR RECORDS I DON'T KNOW HOE TO SEND ONLINE . IF THE TIRES HAD BLOWN IT COULD HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD AS I DRIVE 80 MILES ROUND TRIP A DAY TO WORK. HAVE'NT FIXED BRAKES YET BUT THE ROTORS ARE SHAKING WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES

GASOLINE LEAKING INTO CAB FROM FAULTY OR POOR QUALITY COMPONENTS OR SEALS. GAS VAPORS INSIDE CAR CAUSE POTENTIAL CONCERNS FOR IGNITION AND OR EXPLOSION. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT HOME. DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE UNHELPFUL.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH STARTING MY VEHICLE. IT WANTS TO START BUT WILL NOT KICK OVER. I HAVE TO CALL A TOW TRUCK AND THEY BRING IT TO DODGE AND THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. IT STARTS AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS AN FINALY DODGE SAID IT WAS MY ALTERNATOR. IT WAS REPLACED AND AFTER A WEEK THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED. IT HAS DONE IT A FEW OTHER TIMES BUT WILL START AFTER A FEW TIMES. THE VEHICLE IS PARKED.

CAR STICKS IN GEAR WHEN PARKED OR DRIVING. SNYCHS REPLACED AT 41K NOW AT 49K CLUTCH PLATE NOW NEEDS REPLACING. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS AS I COULD NOT GET IT IN/ OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING.

TOOK OUR DODGE CALIBER 2008 (MANUFACTURER DATE: 11/2007) TO A MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS THOUGHT TO BE STRUTS AND WAS TOLD THE FRONT CRADLE WAS RUSTED OUT AND NEED TO BE REPLACED TO CONTINUE ANY SAFE DRIVING. THIS WAS A 2007 RECALL BUT WAS NEVER INCLUDED IN ANY TITLED 2008 CARS THAT WERE MANUFACTURED IN 2007. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND SEEMS TO BE REPORTED MORE OFTEN NOW AT THE 10 YEAR MARK. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT A TRADITIONAL PROBLEM ON MOST VEHICLES AND SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT RECALLED, BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT COST ON THIS IS IN THE THOUSANDS AND IT IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN MOTION OVER 35MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF. A YOUNG MAN TURNING LEFT FROM THE SOUTH LANE ACROSS THE NORTH LANE FAILED TO YIELD TO ME TRAVELING IN THE NORTH LANE. ALL AIR BAG RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AS SHOWN ON THE ATTACHED FORM.

DODGE RECALL # S61/NHTSA 16V-668 MY AIR BAG STARTED COMOING ON AND OFF EACH TIME WITH A AUDIO WARNING, GOT A MAILER "URGENT SAFETY RECALL" "FREE" REPAIR. SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT ITH GLENDALE DODGE GLENDALE CA. SERVICE PERSON SAID HE HAD TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC TO VERIFY RECALL ELIGIBILITY, REPIR WAS MADE. THEN I WAS PRESENTED WITH A $ 150.00 CHARGE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC (WHAT WAS FREE?) AND TOLD THAT THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED BUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT AND WARNING WOULD CONTINUE, THAT WOU;D COST ME ANOTHER $ 712.00! THE AIRBAG LIGHT STILL COMES ON AND THE WARNING IS SOUNDED. MY FREE RECALL HAS COST ME $ 150.00 AND TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR WILL COST ME AN ADDITIONAL $ 712.00 . I HAD RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE PRIOR TO WARNING LIGHT ALARM SOUNDING, SO WHY AREN'T BOT ITEMS PART OF THE RECALL?
