DODGE Complaints

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, THE ENGINE WILL STALL AND SHUT OFF AT AN IDLE. THIS HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. ONCE I MAKE IT HOME AFTER IT STALLS 2 TO 3 TIME AND IT SITS OVER NIGHT IT IS FINE THE NEXT DAY. THE ENGINE STALLS WHEN SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AT IDLE SPEEDS.

I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 80 ON MY WAY TO WORK.THE FRONT FUEL TANK STRAP HOLDER WELDED TO THE FRAME RUSTED THROUGH AND THE TANK DROPPED ALMOST TO THE GROUND,I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE AND PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER TO CHECK OUT THE NOISE. THE TANK WAS HANGING BY THE FUEL LINES. LUCKILY FOR ME I STOPPED. I STRAPPED THE TANK BACK IN WITH RATCHET STRAPS AND GOT TO WORK OKAY. THEN I JACKED IT UP TO MAKE SURE IT WAS SECURED. CALLED CHRYSLER AND DEALERSHIP ABOUT A RECALL AND WAS TOLD NOT YET

THE CENTER TAIL LIGHT IN THE DODGE DURANGO'S WITH THE RACETRACK SET UP HAVE A LEAKING PROBLEM WHERE WATER ENTERS THROUGH POSING A RISK TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS BASICALLY HAPPENS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR PARKED. WHEN IT RAINS - WATER ENTERS THROUGH THE DEFECTIVELY SEALED TAIL LIGHT.

I HAVE OWNED THIS DODGE CALIBER FOR 6 YEARS NOW AND THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE A VERY POOR DESIGN. IN THE 6 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR I HAVE REPLACED THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS 3 TIMES. BOTH CONTROL ARMS WERE REPLACED EACH TIME BECAUSE THE BUSHINGS WERE BAD, CRACKED AND SPLIT. NOW FOR THE FOURTH TIME I WILL BE REPLACING THESE CONTROL ARMS BECAUSE OF THIS SAME ISSUE.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO MY CAR HORN STARTED GOING OFF AT RANDOM. I COULD BE DRIVING OR IT COULD BE SITTING STATIONARY/NOT RUNNING AND THE HORN WOULD BLOW INTERMITTENTLY OR CONSTANTLY. I HAVE ALMOST CAUSE A FEW ACCIDENTS BEING STOPPED BEHIND SOMEONE AND THEN THE HORN BLOWS AND THEY START TO GO ON A RED LIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC OVER 25 TIMES AND EVEN TOOK IT TO THE GLENDALE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. OF COURSE WHEN IT WAS THERE IT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. I EVEN HAVE IT ON VIDEO SHOWING WHAT IT DOES. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AND AM APPALLED THAT CHRYSLER CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND FOR OVER A YEAR WITHOUT MY HORN.

I BOUGHT MY 2014 DART BRAND NEW IN JANUARY OF 2015. AS OF TODAY (4/9/18), IT HAS 47,200 MILES ON IT. I WAS TAKING RESIDENTIAL ROADS TO DROP MY DAUGHTER OFF AT SCHOOL, SLOWING TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND TURN RIGHT. I THOUGHT I SLOWED TOO MUCH AND NEEDED TO SLIGHTLY ACCELERATE TO GET ME TO THE STOP SIGN. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, I REALIZED THE CAR HAD STALLED, BUT ALL INSIDE LIGHTS AND RADIO WERE STILL ON. THE "BATTERY" LIGHT (CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT) CAME ON AND STAYED ON UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, BUT ALL IT WOULD DO WAS TRY TO TURN OVER. I KNOW IT'S NOT THE BATTERY, AS IT WAS REPLACED LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AGO. ALL TERMINALS/CONNECTIONS TO THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR ARE NOT LOOSE. AFTER TRYING TO RESTART THE CAR TWICE, IT FINALLY STARTED ON THE THIRD TRY WITH HESITATION. FROM THERE, I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE TO THE SCHOOL (LESS THAN A MILE - IT'S ONLY 1.3 MILES FROM MY HOUSE TO THE SCHOOL). WHEN I GOT BACK HOME, I LET THE CAR SIT FOR ROUGHLY 2-3 MINUTES AND RESTARTED IT AGAIN - NO HESITATION. AFTER LOOKING FOR ANSWERS ONLINE, I'VE FOUND AT LEAST 34 IDENTICAL PROBLEMS WITH NO EXPLANATION AND NO HELP FROM DODGE/CHRYSLER. (EXCEPT FOR ONE OR TWO ENGINE REPLACEMENTS). (CARCOMPLAINTS.COM) I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR TO WORK, AS I DON'T WANT IT TO STALL ON THE HIGHWAY AND GET IN AN ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I HAVE TWO CHILDREN THAT ARE PICKED UP FROM MY WORK. THIS IS ONLY GOING TO CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE ABOUT THIS. WE'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR (RADIO FREEZES AND RESTARTS INTERMITTENTLY, TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT HARD, ETC.).

THE CHECK ENGINE BULB IS FUNCTIONAL (LIGHTS UP INITIALLY WHEN TURNING ON THE VEHICLE), BUT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THERE IS AN ENGINE CODE REPORTED. I'VE ENCOUNTERED 2 DIFFERENT PROBLEMS WHERE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T ILLUMINATE. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WAS MALFUNCTIONING, AND THE CAR OCCASIONALLY WENT INTO LIMP MODE, USUALLY ON HIGHWAYS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, SOMETIMES AT HIGH SPEEDS, RISKING A REAR END COLLISION. FORTUNATELY THE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED, BUT THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE CRUISE CONTROL IS MALFUNCTIONING, DISENGAGING AT RANDOM TIMES AT HIGH SPEEDS ON A HIGHWAY, AGAIN RISKING A REAR END COLLISION. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATE, AND THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AN ENGINE CODE READ REPORTS ERROR P0572, WHICH INDICATES A PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL, BUT THERE IS STILL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

THE WIN MODULE FAILED. AKA WIRELESS IGNITION NOD. FROM MY RESEARCH IT A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS CAUSE BY FAULTY SOLDERING INSIDE OF THE MODULE. I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY RISK DUE TO THE FIRE HAZARD. THE TRUCK WON'T START UNDER COLD CONDITIONS BECAUSE THE WIN MODULE DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION TO START. I HAVE A REMOTE STARTER INSTALLED AND CAN BYPASS THE ISSUE BY USING THE REMOTE START TO START THE TRUCK AND THEN HAVE THE CAR IN THE IGNITION TO KEEP THE TRUCK RUNNING. ONCE THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WARMS UP AND THE MODULE IS WARMED UP IT WORKS LIKE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. WILL ALSO CAUSE THE TRUCK TO RANDOMLY SHUT OFF IF THE HEAT ISN'T ON IT THE TRUCK WHEN IT'S COLD OUT

WHEN I DRIVE AND BRAKE THE CAR CUTS OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND ITS HARD TO START BACK UP IM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET
