DODGE Complaints

THERE IS A RECALL ON THE PCV ON THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS READING THAT IT IS BAD BUT THEY SAY THAT MY VIN DOES NOT MATCH FOR RECALL BUT YET MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL DOES

TRAUMATIC INJURIES TO ARM AND ABDOMEN; FAINT SOUND BRIEFLY WAS NOTICEABLE FROM CLOCKSPRING AREA PRIOR TO AIRBAG EXPLOSION; VEHICLE MOVING AT 5 MPH, SLIGHTLY TURNING RIGHT; NEVER A COLLISION OR MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON STEERING COLUMN; WITH AIRBAG REMOVED THE PARTICULAR SOUNDS ARE MUCH MORE PRONOUNCED. THEREFORE, I SUSPECT CLOCK SPRING MAY HAVE TRIGGERED EXPLOSION. WIRE INSULATION APPEARS WORN AWAY. I RECEIVED NO NOTICE OF THIS LIKELIHOOD OR POSSIBILITY OF FAILURE. ALLEGEDLY, SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS GROUP <[email protected]> WILL PROPERLY LOOK INTO THIS. I QUESTION WHETHER BREACH OF THE DUTY OF CARE, AND HARM CAUSED BY THE BREACH HAS OCCURRED. I NO LONGER FEEL RELATIVELY SAFE WITH DODGE RAM 1500 OR THAT CHRYSLER IS HONORING THEIR OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE A REASONABLY SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE DRIVER. *TT *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V821000 (POWER TRAIN); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (JONES MOTOR COMPANY, 545 FLORENCE RD, SAVANNAH, TN 38372, (731) 925-4923) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. *TT UPDATED 9/26/18*JB

I BOUGHT THIS MINIVAN IN 2011. I DO NOT DRIVE MUCH SO IT CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 35,000 MILES ON IT. NONETHELESS, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AND ROTORS 4 TIMES (MAYBE 5) SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. I JUST HAD THEM REPLACED AGAIN IN NOVEMBER, AND YET 7 MONTHS LATER, I HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN. I HAVE ONLY PUT SOME 3,000 MILES ON IT SINCE THE LAST REPLACEMENT. SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG. THE BRAKES BEGAN SQUEAKING AND VERY QUICKLY (LIKE A DAY OR TWO WITHOUT MY HARDLY DRIVING IT) TO THE ROTORS BEING GONE AS MY PEDALS ARE VIBRATING. I KNOW OTHERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS HERE AND ALL OVER THE INTERNET. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. NOT TO MENTION, INCREDIBLY COSTLY TO KEEP UP WITH THESE COSTS THAT I CANNOT AFFORD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH A TRUCK. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE TURNED TO THE LEFT AND COLLIDED WITH AN EMBANKMENT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED LEFT ARM SORENESS, BUT NO MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,632.

RE: RUSTED FRONT AND REAR CROSSMEMBER EXTENDED WARRANTY #23-012-14 T.S.B. 23-012-14 2011 DODGE CALIBER FALLS UNDER, AND QUALIFIES FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF BOTH SUBFRAME CROSSMEMBERS DUE TO RUST. HE DEALER HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO REPLACE THE CROSSMSMBERS. HOWEVER, DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $211 TO REPLACE ADDITIONAL PARTS THAT ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CROSSMEMBERS, DUE TO SAID PARTS BEING DIFFICULT TO REMOVE AND RE-USE..

AS I WAS DRIVING I HEARD A POP AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IS WAS. AFTER LOOKING I SAW THAT IT WAS MY DRIVER SEAT HEADREST. IT HAD POPPED OPEN AND I THOUGHT I COULD JUST CLOSE IT BUT I COULDN'T. ABOUT A WEEK LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE DID THE SAME THING WITH NO ONE BEING IN THE SEAT. I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THIS WAS A FLUKE HAPPENING, BUT I HAVE READ THAT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW CUSTOMERS OUT THERE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MY OPTIONS.

AS VEHICLE WAS BEING BACKED UP AT A DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HEADREST DEPLOYED STRIKING THE PASSENGER IN THE NECK AND SKULL AREA.

I WENT TO PUT ON PASSENGER BELT WONT ENGAGE AND SIGNAL COMPUTER THAT ANYONE IS SITTING IN SEAT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DAKOTA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ENGAGED IN PARK, IT ROLLED AWAY WITHOUT WARNING. THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE TAIL LIGHTS AND BUMPER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS WIFE SUSTAINED A BACK INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED OR TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,850. *TT *JS
