DODGE Complaints

I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE STALLING AT RANDOM TIMES WHERE I'M STUCK STRANDED FOR ABOUT 2 TO 5 MINUTES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL START AGAIN WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. I'VE HAD MULTIPLE CASES OPEN WITH CHRYSLER AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN HAMPON VIRGINIA. MY CURRENT CASE NUMBER WITH CHRYSLER IS 34055781. I'M NOW GETTING THE RUN AROUND AND CHRYSLER SEEMS UNWILLING TO HELP ME. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE AND I FEAR MY FAMILY OR MYSELF WILL END UP IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE LACK OF STEERING WHEN IT SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I'VE LOOK ON THE INTERNET AND IT'S LITTERED WITH THIS VERY ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE AS A ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN AND I HOPE THAT SOMEONE CAN PROVIDE ME SOME GUIDANCE AND LET ME KNOW WHAT OPTIONS IF ANY I HAVE TO EITHER GET OUT OF THIS VEHICLE THROUGH CHRYSLER OR MAKE THEM FIX THE ISSUE PERMANENTLY. IT STALLS AT RANDOM, SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ANY GIVEN SPEED. CHRYSLER CLAIMS THAT THEY'VE REPLACED ALTERNATORS, FUEL PUMP RELAY AND TIPM, BUT IT'S STILL DOING IT AND IT STARTED OUT OF NOWHERE. I'VE REPORTED THIS ISSUE ABOUT 6 TIMES TO POMOCO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF HAMPTON AND 4 TIMES NOW TO CHRYSLER.

WHAT TO DO AFTER A CAR RECALL?

I TURNED INTO A DRIVE WAY AND THE CAR LOST CONTROL. BREAKS LOCKED AND I WOULDN'T STOP

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM AND I WENT INTO THE CLEANERS TO DROP MY CLOTHES OFF. I WENT IN THE CLEANERS AND CAME OUT AND ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE SHOP AND THE MECHANIC STATED IT WAS MY ENGINE WAS OUT. I THINK ITS THE TIMING CHAIN. I SEEN RECALLS FOR MY ENGINE BUT THEY STATE ITS FOR THE NEWER VERSION OF THE HEMI BUT I THINK ITS ALL THE SAME RECALL. I GET MY CAR MAINTENANCE AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ENGINE PROBLEMS, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS , LOSS AF POWER. THERE WERE LITERALLY NO SIGNS. I HAD GOT MY OIL CHANGED AT THE DEALERSHIP WITHIN A MONTH OF THE INCIDENT.

THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUOUSLY OVERHEATS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER. THE IS NO NOTIFICATION OTHER THAN A LIGHT AT THE TIME IT STARTS TO SLOW DOWN. AT THIS POINT YOU HAVE TO MANEUVER CAUTIOUSLY THROUGH FAST MOVING TRAFFIC TO PULL OVER FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES EACH TIME. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS (AND ALMOST CAUSED A FEW) BECAUSE OF THE UNANNOUNCED EXTREME LOSS OF POWER. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR FOR MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION FLUSHES AND FILTER CHANGES. NOTHING WORKS AND I'M REPEATEDLY TOLD THAT MANY CALIBERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BUT THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT CREATED A SOLUTION. THE VEHICLE HAS REMAINED PARKED FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. MY DAUGHTER TOOK IT OUT FOR A DRIVE TODAY AND WAS STUCK ON THE FREEWAY TWICE IN A 30 MILE TRIP DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION. I CANNOT SELL OR USE THE VEHICLE FOR OBVIOUS SAFETY REASONS.
