DODGE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I FELT MY HEAD JERK FORWARD AND HEARD A POP FROM MY HEADREST. AT THE TIME I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT GOING ABOUT 68 MPH. WHEN I FELT THE IMPACT BEHIND MY HEAD MY INSTINCT WAS TO HIT MY BRAKE THINKING SOMEONE HAD HIT ME FROM BEHIND, BUT ONCE I LOOKED AROUND THERE WAS NO ONE CLOSE BEHIND OR TO THE SIDES OF ME. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND LOOKED AT THE HEADREST AND NOTICED IT HAD POPPED OPEN. THIS ONLY OCCURRED ON THE DRIVER SEAT HEADREST. AGAIN, I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY COLLISION AT OR AROUND THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN IN COLLISIONS YEARS PRIOR TO THIS, BUT NONE FROM BEHIND.

IVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACE 4 TIMES STILL DOING THE SAME ISSUE. IT WILL GIVE ME A SIGNAL THAT THE GEARS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME AND THEN IT WOULD BE LIKE THE RPM DIE DOWN TO A LOWER GEAR. IT WOULD THEN REV HIGH IN 1ST GEAR NOT WANTING TO GO INTO SECOND BUT WOULD CATCH AS THE RPM GOES DOWN. 2 GEAR WOULD START UNDER THE 1000 RPM AND STRUGGLE TO GET TO THE THIRD GEAR.

CLUTCH IS STICKING IN THE 1.4L TURBO DART WHILE STATIONARY. CAR WOULDN'T START RIGHT AWAY BUT DID EVENTUALLY. HARD TO GET INTO GEAR WHILE STATIONARY. EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS FAILED AND IS NOT WORKING. AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, ON THE DASH.

MY CAR HAS STALLED ON ME TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE GOING 50 MPH. A LIGHT COMES ON SAYING FCW OFF AND MY WHEEL LOCKS AND MY CAR STOPS. I AM CURRENTLY 8 1/2 MONTHS PREGNANT AND AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE MY OWN CAR. I HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I TURNED MY CAR ON THIS MORNING AND IT WOULDN'T LET ME MOVE IT UNTIL I TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON THEN IT'S FINE. THIS IS A LARGE CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE I TRAVEL ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK EVERYDAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT DETECTED AN ODOR OF HOT BRAKES. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND NOTICED THAT THE ODOR WAS VERY STRONG AROUND THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE ASSEMBLY ALONG WITH WHITE SMOKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT BOTH REAR ROTORS WERE VERY HOT AND THE SPRINGS THAT RELEASE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES WERE RUSTED OUT, WHICH PREVENTED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FROM BEING RELEASED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.
