DODGE Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); 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 (GETTEL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 2323 TAMIAMI TRAIL, PUNTA GORDA, FL 33950, (941) 347-6706) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I WAS DRIVING WHEN I NOTICED THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT COME ON ON THE DASH. THEN THE CHECK OIL LIGHT CAME ON (AND I DON'T NEED AN OIL CHANGE) . MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT HAD BEEN COMING ON THAT DAY, I ASSUMED BC IT WAS COLDER THAT DAY. AS I WAS DRIVING I WAS GETTING INTO THE LEFT TURN LANE AND AS I GOT TO THE END OF THE LANE AND STRAIGHTENED MY WHEEL I NOTICED I COULDN'T REALLY TURN MY WHEEL. ONCE I GOT THE GREEN ARROW TO TURN, I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND I WASN'T MOVING. I TURNED MY HAZARDS ON PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF WHEN I NOTICED MY CAR WAS ALREADY OFF. I STARTED IT BACK UP AND THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH WENT AWAY AND IT WAS FINE. I'VE ALSO BEEN NOTICED THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS THAT MY CAR REVS UP WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE IT. I'LL BE PARKED AND THE CAR WILL REV UP OR I'LL BE DRIVING A STEADY SPEED AND MY CAR WILL JUST SPEED UP. SOMETIME EVEN WHEN I'M BRAKING TO COME TO A STOP MY CAR WILL START ZOOMING FORWARD.

FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS YEAR, I HAVE LOST ALL HEADLIGHTS, AIR CONDITIONING, ENGINE DYING RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, SAFETY LIGHTS FLASHING AND BEEPING ON DASHBOARD. THE TIPM MODULE IS GOING OUT AGAIN. THIS PART IS NEARLY $1,000 AND ONLY A DODGE DEALERSHIP IS ABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE ISSUES WORLDWIDE WITH THIS SAME PART IN MULTIPLE DODGE CARS SINCE 2007 AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THIS ISSUE

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND IS STAYING ON AT ALL TIMES. ALSO THE HORN DOES NOT WORK THROUGH THE COLUMN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MOVE AFTER THE PARKING BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,300.

FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS WERE FAILING. SYMPTOMS WERE LOUD RATTLING AND VIBRATIONS WHEN MOVING. FIX WAS TO REPLACED THEM ALONG WITH NEW ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO PERKINS MOTORS (1205 MOTOR CITY DR., COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80905, 855-832-3989) FOR ROUTINE SERVICE. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE TIRE ROTATION COULD NOT BE PERFORMED BECAUSE TWO OF THE TIRES WERE OF DIFFERENT BRANDS; THEREFORE, THE TREAD DEPTHS WERE UNEVEN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE DEALER THAT THE TIRES HAD TO HAVE THE SAME TREAD DEPTH IN ORDER TO BE ROTATED. THE CONTACT ASKED FOR THE INFORMATION IN WRITING SINCE IT WAS NOT LISTED IN THE OWNER'S SERVICE MANUAL. THE TECHNICIAN REPLIED THAT IT WAS PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND COULD NOT BE MADE PUBLIC. THE TIRES WERE NOT ROTATED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,609.

VEHICLE STALLS AFTER COMING TO STOP AND ATTEMPTING TO RESUME. IT STARTS BACK UP AFTER BEING PUT INTO PARK AND PUSHING IGNITION BUTTON.

FIRST ISSUE IS SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING THE CAR APPEARS TO BE ACCELERATING AND THE SPEED MPH GAUGE WILL GO UP BUT THE CAR IS ACTUALLY NOT GOING PAST A CERTAIN SPEED AND IS STUCK IN SECOND GEAR. SECOND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED ON THEIR OWN THIRD IF THE PASSENGER DOOR IS OPENED AND CLOSED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING THE PROMPT 'THE FOB HAS LEFT THE VEHICLE' APPEARS WHEN YOU START DRIVING. BATTERY IN THE FOB HAS BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES FOURTH THE AC AND HEATER DO NOT WORK JUST CIRCULATES AIR. NEVER EVER WORKED!!! THOUGHT I WAS MAYBE USING THE WRONG CONTROLS BUT I'VE READ THAT MANUAL A MILLION TIMES AND IT'S NOT HUMAN ERROR

I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE AIRBAGS. THIS IS A FREE REPAIR. WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A GOOD POSSIBILITY THAT WHILE DOING THE REPAIR THEY WOULD BREAK MY DASH. I SAID THAT WAS OK AS LONG AS THEY REPLACE THE DAMAGED DASH. MASSEY-YARDLEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO THAT. TRUCK HAS STILL NOT BEEN FIXED.
