DODGE Complaints

CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, ALL ELECTRICAL LOSES POWER. CHECKED RECALL, NOTHING POSTED. IT STARTED ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO, HAPPENS ONCE A WEEK. CHECK THE FORUM AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS LISTED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. DEALERSHIP WONT RETURN CALL.

OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS I HAVE HAD AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF WORK DONE ON MY BRAKES. ON THE FRONT WHEELS, BOTH HAVE HAD 3 NEW SETS OF ROTORS, 2 OF WHICH HAD TO BE RESURFACED, 3 SETS OF BRAKE PADS, 2 NEW CALIPERS FOR THE LEFT AND 1 FOR THE RIGHT, 1 BRAKE HOSE AND 1 HUB BEARING FOR THE LEFT. THE REAR TIRES HAVE HAD A NEW SET OF ROTORS, WHICH WERE RESURFACED TODAY, AND A NEW HUB BEARING ON THE REAR LEFT. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED, AND I CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY MY DRIVING IS NOT THE CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. WHEN THE BRAKES HAVE GONE BAD, I HEAR A SQUEAL, THERE IS VIBRATION IN THE WHEEL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND THE CAR WOULD PULL TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT, DEPENDING ON WHICH CALIPER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ON A MUCH HIGHER LEVEL THAN ON THE CONSUMER'S DIME.

I HAD JUST CAME HOME AND RAN INTO MY HOUSE TO GRAB SOMETHING AND IMMEDIATELY RETURNED BACK TO THE CAR AND WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT MY CAR INTO DRIVE THE LIGHT ON THE GEAR SHIFT FOR NEUTRAL LIT UP. THE CAR IS NOW STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION DUE TO IT BEING IN NEUTRAL. WE HAVE CALLED SEVERAL NUMBERS FOR DODGE AND THEY ARE TELLING US THAT THE CAR IS NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL BECAUSE THE VIN IS NOT SHOWING UP WITH A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE SIGHT SHOWS THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT ISSUE FOR 2011 - 2015 DODGE DARTS. WE NEED ASSISTANCE WITH THIS BECAUSE IF THEY KNOW THESE CARS HAVE THIS ISSUE THERE IS NO WAY THEY SHOULD BE TELLING US THAT THIS CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. PLEASE HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL GROWLING NOISE EMERGING FROM THE REAR AXLE AREA OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILLION DODGE CHRYSLER (1130 1 AUTO PLAZA DR., BOZEMAN, MT 59715, (406) 582-5555) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BEARINGS AND GEARS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000. *TT *TR

MY SON WAS DRIVING HIS CAR TO HIS FRIENDS HOUSE. WHEN HE ARRIVED HE PARKED HIS CAR. ABOUT 30 MIN LATER WHEN HE WAS READY TO LEAVE THE CAR WOULD NOT SWITCH GEARS. LUCKILY MY FRIEND IS A MECHANIC AND HE CHECKED OUT THE CAR AND SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. MY SON HAS ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A FEW MONTHS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN I CHECKED THE SYSTEM SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THAT VIN #. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO HAVE HAD TO COME OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED.

I HAD MY 2013 DODGE DART FOR 3 YEARS AND FOR A YEAR AND A HALF I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH TIRES TO THE POINT WHERE THEY POPPED WHILE DRIVING, BRAND NEW TIRES, USED TIRES IT DIDN'T MATTER. I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON JUST TIRES. TO TOP IT OFF I CAN'T GET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OFF BECAUSE OF THE BCM AND A LEAK SOMEWHERE. I WENT THROUGH ALL THE PROCEDURE I BROUGHT A NEW GAS CAP, I BROUGHT A NEW SENSOR, I CHECKED THE WIRES NO HOLES AND NOTHING HAS WORKED. I STILL HAVE TWO CODES ON MY VEHICLE STILL AFTER SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY TO GET IT OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS EXTENSIVE RUST, CORROSION, AND HOLES ALONG THE ENTIRE FRAME AND UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRAME WAS DETACHING DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

TPMS TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. DRIVING 60MPH. 50F. HIGHWAY. TPMS LIGHT CAME ON AFTER I HEARD A "POP". TIRE COMPLETELY DEFLATED WITHIN 1/4 MILE. TIRE SHOP REPORTED TPMS FAILURE, AND COULD REPLACE IT FOR APPROXIMATELY $75.00. SIMPLE MATH? $300.00 FOR FOUR TIRES. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A "SAFETY FEATURE" ON THE CAR, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE TPMS IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN A STANDARD TIRE STEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IT CAUGHT FIRE. THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE AND FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT CONTACTED. A FUEL STATION ATTENDANT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY ALTERNATOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FIRE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 98,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
