DODGE Complaints

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK, IT OVERFLOWS AND SHOOTS OUT ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND, AND ANY THING OR ANY PERSON THAT IS CLOSE BY. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE AND IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAS RECENTLY DEVELOPED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V821000 (POWER TRAIN); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD NOT MOVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (DEACON'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 835 SOM CENTER RD, MAYFIELD, OH 44143, (440) 442-0424) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY.

TAKATA RECALL RANDOMLY HONKS WHILE VEHICLE IS OFF AND WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. ISSUE HAS BEEN EVERYDAY FOR A WEEK NOW. VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 49,000 MILES. IT HAS RANDOMLY HONKED ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAYS.

AUXILIARY FUEL PUMP MODULE RECENTLY STARTED LEAKING. (BEHIND PASSENGER SEAT) AFTER CLOSER INSPECTION THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP IS LEAKING...THE PLASTIC ITSELF. NOT THE LINE OR CONNECTION. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND THERE IS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A RECALL. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER MY CAR IS RUNNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL.

HAD PULLED CAR INTO GARAGE AND THOUGHT CAR WAS IN PARK. HAD NOT TURNED ROTARY SHIFTER ALL THE WAY TO PARK, SO CAR WAS IN REVERSE. STARTED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND REMOVED FOOT FROM BRAKE AND CAR STARTED PULLING BACKWARD. I JUMPED BACK INTO CAR AND APPLIED BRAKE JUST AS CAR DOOR, WHICH WAS AJAR, STRUCK GARAGE FRAMING, BADLY DAMAGING DOOR. IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THE CAR I MAY HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE THERE WAS NOWHERE TO MOVE IN THE GARAGE. CHRYSLER SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY PUT THESE ROTARY SHIFTER CARS INTO PARK IF VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND CAR DOOR IS OPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BURNS MOTORS (1300 U.S. 83 BUSINESS, MCALLEN, TX 78501, 956-984-4440), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 103,000.

DISCOVERED MANUFACTURING DEFECT AT ELECTRICAL PLUG THAT SITS ABOVE LEFT BANK WHERE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD MEETS THE EXHAUST PIPE. FURTHERMORE, THE CONNECTOR SITS RIGHT BETWEEN THE BLOCK AND THE FIREWALL. THE CONNECTOR AND IT'S WIRING HAVE AN EXTREME TURN OFF OF THE PLUG AND CREATED SUCH TENSION THAT THE PLASTIC CONVOLUTED TUBING WAS PULLED BACK FROM THE WIRING. ALL OF THE WIRING TO APPROXIMATELY 6' BACK FROM THE CONNECTOR IS BARE AND THE WIRES ARE TOUCHING ONE ANOTHER. I FEEL THAT IF THE ROUTE OF THE WIRING HAD LESS OF AN EXTREME BEND AND THERE WAS SOMETHING TO SECURE THE WIRING WAS IN PLACE, THERE WOULDN'T BE THIS CONCERNING ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE FCA AND THEY REFUSE TO LOOK AT IT WITHOUT CHARGING ME MONEY. I AM AN ELECTRICIAN BY TRADE AND I FEAR THAT THIS COULD AFFECT A MULTITUDE OF VEHICLES. THE TRUCK WILL RANDOMLY SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING REGARDLESS OF SPEED,, AND WHEN SITTING IDLE AT TIMES. ALSO, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO REACT TO THE COMMANDS GIVEN WITH THE GEAR SELECTOR. I'M UNSURE WHETHER THIS IS RELATED OR NOT.
