DODGE Complaints

WHEELS SPIN DURING ACCELERATION, POOR TRACTION ON ROAD. RENTAL CAR FROM PORTLAND, OREGON AIRPORT FROM THE ENTERPRISE. DON'T KNOW THE VIN. PERHAPS AN ISSUE WITH ALL DODGE GRAND CARAVANS. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR SHUTTING OFF ON ME OR WONT START FOR OVER 6 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME ITS DIFFERENT ISSUES WHEN I HAVE TO KEEP BRINGING IT BACK TO THEM FOR THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN I HAVE SPENT OVER 1000 EACH TIME I HAVE HAD TO FIX MY CAR AND THEY ARE NOT STILL FIXING THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CAR IS STILL SHUTTING OFF OR WONT START AT ALL

I AM TOLD THAT THE WIPER SWITCH IS BAD AND IT COSTS $852.00 TO REPLACE IF YOU CAN FIND ONE AND THEN DODGE WANTS $400.00 LABOR TO INSTALL THIS PART

AT THE SMOG PLACE IN CA, THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THAT THE VIN COULD NOT BE READ THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE THE "DEFECT" IS THAT THE FOAM RUBBER BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND DASH HAS SEPARATED COVERING THE METAL LABEL OF THE VIN NUMBER. HE USED A LONG THIN TOOL LIKE A KNITTING NEEDLE TO PUSH THE FOAM OUT OF THE WAY TO VIEW THE VIN NUMBER.

WHEN I HIT A BUMP POT HOLE OR ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD MY VEHICLE GET S THE DREADED DEATH WOBBLE AND I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY REDUCE MY SPEED TO AROUND 30 MILES PER HOUR AND I'M AFRAI ITS GOING TO BREAK SOMETHING IN MY STEERING AND CAUSE A CRASH OR I'M GOING TO GET REAR ENDED WHICH HAS ALMOST HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME BECAUSE OF OTHER DRIVERS FOLLOWING TO CLOSE

RECALL G38 / THE TRANS SHIFTER STARTED TO NOT GO INTO PARK AT TIMES AND THEN SLIP OUT NOW IT WILL NOT GO INTO PARK AT ALL..SHIFTER STOPS AT REVERSE AND I HAVE LOOKED AT SHIFTER AJUSTMENT AND NO PROBLEM THERE, THE RECALL SAID IT DID NOT APPLY TO MY VIN .BUT I AM HAVING SAME PROBLEMS LISTED AS THE RECALL STATE'S OTHER'S HAVE , DID I MISS SOMETHING AND IAM IN RECALL ADDED LATER?

WHILE DRIVING ON NO MORE THAN 65 MPH THE ENGINE HAS SHUT DOWN FOR NO REASON, AND WITH NO WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES, AND ALL 4 TIMES THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES DON'T WORK. ONCE THE CAR HAS STOPPED AND GEAR PLACED INTO PARK I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR RESTARTS. ALL FOUR TIMES THE ENGINE IS THE ONLY THING THAT TURNS OFF, THE RADIO CONTINUES TO PLAY.

DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG CONECTOR BURNED OUT CAUSING AIRBAG TO ERROR AND NOT DEPLOY. AIRBAG LIGHT ACTIVATED WHILE PARKED.

WINDOWS GOING UP AND DOWN ABOUT 1/8 INCH AS IF THE DOOR IS BEING OPENED AND CLOSED , ITS CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DIE AND FAIL. I READ UP ON THIS AND UNFOURTUNATELY A DODGE OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. SOMEONE SEEMS TO THINKS ITS THE LATCH WHICH HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SOLVER FOR MOST CUSTOMERS . THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL IN PLACE FOR BOTH 2011AND 2012 DODGE OWNERS FOR WINDOW LATCH DEFECT

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TO OUR HOUSE. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF US, NOR WAS ANY ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN THE OPPOSITE LANES. THERE WERE NO PEOPLE AROUND ON THE SIDEWALKS. WE WERE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN TOWARDS OUR HOUSE, OUR SUNROOF EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THERE WAS NO IMPACT OF ANY KIND. I WASN'T SURE WHAT HAPPENED EXACTLY, BUT WE PULLED OVER TO CHECK WHAT MIGHT HAVE HIT US. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT WOULD INDICATE AN IMPACT OF ANY KIND, YET THE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED AND BOWED UPWARDS INSTEAD OF DOWN TOWARDS THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHICH WOULD BE MORE INDICATIVE OF SOME KIND OF IMPACT TO THE SUNROOF. IT ALMOST LOOKED LIKE A BLOW OUT FROM INSIDE OUT LIKE PRESSURE HAD CAUSED IT. WE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED (THIS CAR IS BRAND NEW, IT WAS BOUGHT ON 5/13/18), THEY ARE TELLING US IT HAD TO BE AN IMPACT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE DISINGENUOUS. I HAVE NO REASON TO LIE ABOUT THIS INCIDENT. I WAS THE PASSENGER IN THE CAR AND I WAS PAYING ATTENTION WHEN IT HAPPENED. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY RISK FOR DRIVERS. IF WE HAD NOT HAD THE SLIDER BELOW THE SUNROOF CLOSED, BROKEN GLASS WOULD HAVE RAINED DOWN INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND POTENTIALLY DISTRACTED MY WIFE AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. JUST THE SOUND OF THE SUNROOF POPPING WAS EXTREMELY LOUD AND CAUSED A LOT OF IMMEDIATE CONFUSION. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR STORIES ONLINE ABOUT EXPLODING SUNROOFS, AND I BELIEVE IT TO BE A LEGITIMATE SAFETY CONCERN.
