DODGE Complaints

WENT TO AUTOZONE FOR THE FREE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT READING. IT CAME BACK WITH A CODE P0456 WHICH IS A EVAP LEAK. MY CAR DOES SEEM TO HAVE A LIGHT GAS ODOR AFTER I FILL IT UP WITH GAS. THE SMELL CONTINUES TO LINGER BUT EVENTUALLY SEEMS TO GO AWAY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND SEE THERE ARE MANY POST AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ISSUE. I DON'T NOTICE ANY FUEL LEAKING FROM MY CAR BUT I CAN SMELL GAS. MY CAR IS A 2011 BUT ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES AS OF TODAY 5/3/18. I'M FILING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE A LOT OF FORUMS ONLINE ABOUT THE ISSUE SAYS I SHOULD SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF OTHER 2011 DODGE CHARGERS SE RWD WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK IN FOR ALL THE RECALLS AND NOW HAVING TROUBLE WITH POWER STEERING LEAKAGE AND THE SYSTEM NOT STAYING COOLED. THE TRUCK DOES NOT STAY COOL WHEN DRIVING THE RPM GOES ABOVE 3 AT THE SPEED OF 60 MILES PER HOUR. THE POWER STEERING LEAKAGE WAS TOLD TO ME ON THE OIL CHANGE DONE 4/2018

"TAKATA RECALL" HIGH BEAMS COME ON ON BOTH SIDES LOW BEAM DOES NOT COME ON PASSENGER SIDE BUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE

FRONT SUSPENSION HAS EXCESSIVE RUST. RUST IS EATING OUT THE MATERIAL, CAN POSSIBLY BREAK AND CAUSE AND ACCIDENT. DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE PART.

OUR 2015 DODGE DART HAS ONLY 18,700 MILES ON IT AND TWICE IN THE LAST 10 MONTHS WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED IN ORDER TO SHIFT GEARS AND THE PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2017, THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED AT NO COST TO US. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN ON APRIL 28, 2018, SAME SCENARIO - DRIVING ON FREEWAY, TRIED TO SHIFT - AND WE ARE TOLD THE CLUTCH KIT AND THROW OUT BEARING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND DODGE IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR IT, SAYING IT IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AND BECAUSE IT IS DIFFERENT PARTS IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OF WORK IN AUGUST 2017. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES AND EVEN A COUPLE OF LAWSUITS. EVEN IF REPAIRED AGAIN, I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR OUTSIDE OF CITY STREETS. DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE NOR DO THEY SAY THAT MY CAR IS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH THAT THEY ISSUED IN 2016.

THE DASH CLUSTER STARTED WITH THE RPM GUAGE STOPPED WORKING AT ABOUT 90,000 MILES AND NOW ALL OF IT IS MAXED OUT FULL GAUGES ON THE WHOLE DASH CLUCTER AND THE SPEED ODOMITER STILL MOVES BUT IS NOT CORREST ITS ABOUT 20MPH OFF. I CANT REMEMBER BUT I BELIEVE I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICED THE RPM GAUGE FIRST AND WEEKS LATER I NOTICED ALL THE OTHER GAUGES

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM SOMEONE AND THEN I SEEN THERE WAS RECALL ON SOME OF THESE MODELS I DID REALIZE THAT MY PASSENGER AIR BAG DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK WHEN SOMEONE IS IN PASSENGER SEAT IT DOES NOT REGISTER SOMEONE IS SITTING THERE AND IT DOES NOT DING FOR THEM TO PUT ON SEAT BELT I AM CONCERNED MY AIR BAG MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY. I PUT THE DATE FOR AROUND WHEN VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED

THE DIODES IN MY ALTERNATOR HAVE GONE BAD AND DRAINED THE BATTERY. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THIS ON OTHER THE OTHER SIZED ENGINE AND SEEMS TO BE ALL PREVIOUS YEARS, BUT MINE WAS SKIPPED AND NOW IT HAS HAPPENED TO MINE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE'S BLUETOOTH FAILED TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. UPON REACHING HIS DESTINATION, THE CONTACT PARKED, TURNED OFF, AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. UPON RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE SEVERAL HOURS LATER, IT FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE RESTARTED USING BATTERY BOOSTER CABLES. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE WEEKS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STERLING HEIGHTS DODGE (40111 VAN DYKE AVE, STERLING HEIGHTS, MI 48313), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEALER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE, WHICH WAS DUE TO THE MANUFACTURER RECEIVING DEFECTIVE BATTERIES FROM CHINA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

DURING COLD WEATHER VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY HAPPENS WITHIN FIRST 5-15 MINUTES AT LOW SPEED WITH COLD OR COOL ENGINE. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT OR TURNING. THERE IS NO WARNING, NO SHUDDER, AND NO ENGINE ERROR LIGHT. IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKS. MANY REPORTS ONLINE FROM OTHER OWNERS. NO ISSUES IN WARMER WEATHER. LOCAL DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE ISSUE AFTER HOLDING VEHICLE FOR 3 CONSECUTIVE DAYS.
