DODGE Complaints

EMERGENCY BRAKES DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. CAN STILL DIVE IT WHEN EMERGENCY BRAKES ARE APPLIED AS IF THEY'RE NOT EVEN ON..

ANYTIME I FILL MY GAS TANK IT GIVES A FOUL SMELL AND LATER NOTICED FUEL LEAK ON REAR PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT IN FRONT OF PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE, NOW I HAVE TO FILL MY TANK ONLY HALF BECAUSE IT LEAKS WHEN I FILL IT UP,THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

DOORS UNLOCK LIGHTS INSIDE AND OUT ALL LIGHTS COME ON WHEN NO ONE IS TOUCHING THE KEYS THEY KEEP DOING IT EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES AND STAY ON FOR UP TO FIVE MINUTES DRAINING THE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE IS PARKED KEYS OUT AND IT STILL HAPPENS

THE REAR RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW ISN'T WORKING. FOR A WHILE IT WAS ROLLING UP AND DOWN SLOWLY, AND SEEMED TO BE STICKING. AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS IT GOT WORSE, WE LOCKED THE WINDOWS AND WOULDN'T ALLOW THE KIDS TO ROLL DOWN THEIR WINDOWS. THERE WERE 3 TIMES WHERE WE THOUGHT THE WINDOW WASN'T GOING TO WORK AT ALL. WE WERE OUT OF STATE AND AFTER ROLLING THE WINDOW DOWN IT WOULDN'T GO UP. WE HAD TO PARK OUR CAR OVERNIGHT TWO TIMES AT OUR HOTEL WITH THE WINDOW DOWN BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T GO UP. JUST RECENTLY IT STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. MY SON ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN AND HAD HIS UPPER TORSO (HEAD) LEANING OUT THE WINDOW. WE WEREN'T IN MOTION (PARKED) AND THE WAY HIS HAND WAS POSITIONED ON THE WINDOW BUTTON IT PUSHED IT UP, IT STARTED ROLLING UP AND WHEN HE NOTICED HE HAD GOT SQUISHED BETWEEN THE WINDOW ITSELF AND THE UPPER FRAME OF THE DOOR. HE REALIZED HIS HAND WAS PUSHING ON THE WINDOW BUTTON AND TOOK HIS HAND OFF AND TRIED TO ROLL IT BACK DOWN.... IT WOULDN'T BUDGE. HE STARTED YELLING FOR US AND WE WENT AND SHOVED THE WINDOW DOWN WITH OUR HANDS WHILE TRYING TO USE THE WINDOW BUTTON TO ROLL IT DOWN, IT MOVED VERY, VERY, SLOWLY. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND NOW IT WONT GO BACK UP. ITS BEEN ROLLED ALL THE WAY DOWN FOR 4 DAYS NOW. SIGH.......... CURRENTLY LOOKING AT MECHANICS TO TRY AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

THE SMART GLASS WHICH IS CAUSED BY THE DOOR LATCH IN THE VEHICLE WILL MALFUNCTION AND WHILE THE VEHICLE IS OFF WILL CYCLE UP AND DOWN CAUSING THE WINDOWS TO GO UP AND DOWN AND CAUSES BATTERY TO DRAIN WHILE PARKED AND DRIVING REFER TO 2011-12 DODGE CHALLENGER SMART GLASS RECALL

THE 2013 DODGE DART WITH THE 1.4L TURBO ENGINE WAS A VEHICLE MADE THAT WAS MADE IN MURPHY'S LAW (EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG, WILL GO WRONG). SINCE PURCHASING THIS USED VEHICLE IN 2016 WITH 43,000 MILES ON THE ENGINE I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. THE FIRST ISSUE I HAVE HAD WAS THE TURBO. I HAD TO HAVE THE TURBO REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY (COMMON ISSUE). THEN, MULTIPLE INSTRUMENT GAUGE FAILURES. NEXT, SEVERAL CLUTCH PROBLEMS (CLUTCH STICKING TO THE FLOOR EVEN WHEN DRIVING). THIS ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED AS THE DEALER DOES NOT BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN ISSUE. IF RESEARCHED IT WILL SHOW THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THOUSANDS HAVE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THEN, NEXT SET OF ISSUES BEGAN WITH MULTIPLE CALIPER SEIZINGS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC OTHER THAN THE DEALERSHIP. THEY DETERMINED THAT THESE PARTS WERE FAULTY AND SUFFERED FROM A RECALL THAT EFFECTED SEVERAL CARS. WHEN CALLING CUSTOMER CARE FOR DODGE. THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT INVOLVED WITH THAT SPECIFIC GROUP OF CARS. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET AND THEN SUFFERED THROUGH TWO ADDITIONAL CALIPER FAILURES. ALL REPAIRS OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. THIS IS ALSO ANOTHER COMMON ISSUE. NOW, I AM CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH A VALVE COVER GASKET FAILURE ON A VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AT 75,000 MILES (COMMON ISSUE). NOW THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY ON A 5 YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY. DODGE CLAIMS TO HAVE STARTED THE WARRANTY IN 2012 ON A 2013 YEAR VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE LISTED AS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS, EXPENSIVE, AND POORLY MADE VEHICLES TO EXIST. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH SEVERAL TIMES. THROUGH DODGE-DART.ORG YOU WILL SEE SEVERAL DANGEROUS AND NEGLIGIBLE CHOICES MADE BY FIAT CHRYSLER AND HOW DANGEROUS THIS CAR CAN BE TO THE PUBLIC. I BELIEVE DODGE SHOULD OFFER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UP TO 10 YEAR/200,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TPMS WARNING INDICATOR KEPT FLASHING "LOW TIRE PRESSURE". THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (DEPENDABLE DODGE, 21415 ROSCOE BLVD, CANOGA PARK, CA 91304, (818) 883-9060) MORE THAN ONCE. THE DEALER DID NOT FULLY INSPECT THE TIRES; HOWEVER, THEY REFILLED THE TIRES WITH AIR AND PROVIDED NO PERMANENT REMEDY. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED ON A LIFT AND THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE OEM REAR PASSENGER RIM HAD CRACKS. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A NATIONAL BACKORDER FOR THE RIMS. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE 26 OTHER CUSTOMERS ALREADY ON THE WAITING LIST AND THAT THE PART MAY BECOME AVAILABLE AROUND JULY 20, 2018.

THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED AS I WAS PULLING INTO A HOSPITAL ENTRANCE, AND AGAIN TRYING TO NAVIGATE TO A SAFE PARKING SPACE, AND AGAIN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. THE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. THIS WAS AT LOW SPEED AND I CRASHED INTO THE PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF ME.
