DODGE Complaints

SEALS AROUND THE REAR LIFTGATE RACETRACK LIGHTING HAVE ALLOWED WATER TO ENTER MAKING THE LIGHTS FAIL. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE BY HAVING THE RACETRACK LIGHTS TO FAIL. STATE INSPECTIONS ALSO FAIL THIS FAULT UNTIL THE UNIT IS REPLACED FOR $1120 IN PARTS WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL AGAIN, WE ARE NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE WE ARE PUTTING A BAND-AID ON A SITUATION NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT.

TURN SIGNAL PROBLEM. TURN SIGNAL BLINKS TO FAST OCCUPANIED BY A CHIME THAT INDICATES A LIGHT OUTAGE. WHILE DRIVING, THE LIGHT TURNS ON AUTOMACTICALLY FOR SHORT PERIODS AT A TIME. I ALMOST RAN OF THE ROAD BECAUSE I THOUGHT MY LIGHTS WERE OUT. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I START MY VEHICLE AND THIE LIGHT CHIME COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AS WELL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE INVOLVING THIS ISSUE.

ABS RECALL, MY DODGE JOURNEY FITS THE SAME DESCRIPTION FOR AN ABS RECALL, HOWEVER MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T SAY THAT IT IS AFFECTED. I AM OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY SO THE DEALERSHIP WON'T TOUCH IT. DISPLEASED MAJORLY!!

MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 DASHBOARD IS A WRECK ITS BROKEN IN LITTLE PIECES AND WILL FLY TO THE FRONT SEAT AND THE BACK SEAT AND SOMETIMES HITS WIFE AND THE GRANDKIDS IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS REALLY NEEDS A RECALL BECAUSE SOME COULD FLY OFF AND GET IN EYES AND MIGHT HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT THE DASHBOARD PIECES DONT HURT WIFE OR GRANDKIDS OR ME.PLEASE RECALL THE DASHBOARDS SO NO MORE WILL GET HURT OR EVEN KILLED. TKS

VEHICLES TRANSMISSION WILL DEFAULT INTO 4TH GEAR. AT 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, MY TRUCK BEGAN LURCHING AND THE RPM FLUCTUATED THEN THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED ON ITS OWN AND WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM 4TH GEAR. I LIMPED THE TRUCK TO MY DESTINATION, AND CONTACTED RAM CUSTOMER CARE WHO PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH MY LOCAL DEALER. STILL WAITING ON THE APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION CHECKED. NOTE THAT I COULD NOT MANUALLY SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION UP OR DOWN EITHER. I WAS STUCK IN 4TH GEAR, AT 75MPH.

I PARKED THE CAR WENT INTO A STORE. CAME OUT AND OPENED THE DOOR AND THE CAR WENT UP IN FLAMES. *DT PHOTOS ATTACHED UPDATED 11/02/18*JB

REAR END LOCKED UP GOING DOWN HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, SENT ME SLIDING INTO THE SLOW LANE AND THEN OFF OF THE HIGHWAY INTO A DRIVEWAY COMING TO A HALTING STOP WITH MY TAILGATE WAS STILL PARTIALLY IN A HEAVILY TRAVELED HIGHWAY. THE DRIVESHAFT ALSO DROPPED DOWN AND EVENTUALLY CAME COMPLETELY OFF AND I HAD TO CALL A ROLL BACK TO COME GET TRUCK. I HAVE HAD THIS 2002 TRUCK FOR THE PAST 11 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED BY DODAGE THAT THIS COULD BE A MAJOR ISSUE. ALL IN ALL IT HAS BEEN A GOOD TRUCK. THIS INCIDENT REALLY SCARED ME, AS I WORK OUT OF THIS TRUCK WITH MY BUSINESS AND NOW I HAVE TO SUFFER A LOSS FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO WORK UNTIL I SPEND A GOOD SOME OF MONEY TO FIX THIS ISSUE SO I AM ABLE TO USE IT AGAIN.

PICKUP ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. REQUIRES TURNING THE IGNITION TO RESTART. DOES WHEN DRIVING ON SMOOTH OR BUMPY ROADS.

ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO AGO I REMOTE STARTED MY VEHICLE WITH THE FACTORY REMOTE STARTER. I ENTERED THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS STATIONARY, PUSHED THE START BUTTON TO COMPLETE THE ACTIVATION. THE VEHICLE STARTED AND RAN NORMALLY, ABOUT A MINUTE OR TWO LATER THE VEHICLE IDLED ROUGHLY AND SHUTOFF, ALL THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER LIGHTS AND SIDE MIRROR PROXIMITY LIGHTS CAME ON. THE PUSH BUTTON WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED IN THE "RUN" POSITION. I TRIED TO PUSH THE START BUTTON AND NOTHING HAPPENED, I TRIED TO OPEN MY DRIVERS DOOR AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN AS THE WINDOW WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN TO ALLOW ME TO OPEN THE DOOR (FRAME LESS DOOR), IF I HAD FORCED THE DOOR OPEN THE WINDOW WOULD HAVE BROKE. I WAS STUCK INSIDE MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS STATIONARY AND NOT IN DRIVE. I THEN PRESSED THE UNLOCK FUNCTION ON THE KEY FOB AND THE CAR MADE ALL THE NOISES TO UNLOCK, I AGAIN TRIED OPENING THE DOOR AND THE WINDOW WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN. I THEN TRIED PUSHING THE START BUTTON AND THE BUTTON WOULD NOT COME OUT OF "RUN" MODE. I PRESSED THE LOCK FUNCTION ON THE KEY FOB, THE VEHICLE MADE ALL THE NOISES OF LOCKING (HORN, FLASHING LIGHTS, ACTUATOR NOISE FOR LOCK) BUT THE DOOR STILL WOULD NOT OPEN AS THE WINDOW WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN; THE VEHICLE START BUTTON WAS STILL IN "RUN" MODE. I PRESSED THE LOCK AND UNLOCK BUTTON A FEW MORE TIMES UNTIL I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. ONCE THE DOOR WAS OPEN I CONTINUE PRESSING THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB, THE VEHICLE FINALLY LET ME PUSH THE START BUTTON TO TAKE IT OUT OF "RUN" MODE. ONCE THE VEHICLE WENT "OFF" I WAS ABLE TO START IT BY PUSHING THE START BUTTON. ON MAY 22, 2018 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GRESHAM DODGE DEALERSHIP, THEY RAN A QUICK DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID THERE WAS NO EVENT STORED, THAT I WOULD HAVE TO LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN BEFORE THEY COULD DO ANYTHING.

CAR WILL BREAK DOWN (TOTAL LOSS OF RPMS, NOT POWER). HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY, ON A BRIDGE AND IN RESIDENTIAL AREA. THE CAR WILL START BACK UP AFTER 1-2 HOURS WITH NO ISSUE. 5 MECHANICS, INCLUDING THE DODGE DEALERSHIP, HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE ISSUE AND/OR RESOLVE.
