DODGE Complaints

PASSENGER SIDE HIGH AND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT AT ANY TIME. WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM IS THE TCIM. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF THEY GO OUT WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN THE DARK. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE TCIM IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND MAY ONLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY.

AUTOMATIC TRANS.-WHEN PLACED IN PARK, CANNOT GET IT OUT OF PARK IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE SOLENOID THAT RELEASES THE PARKING PAWL DOES NOT ALWAYS RELEASE.

REAR LED RACEWAY TAILLIGHT FILL UP WITH WATER. PART OF THE LIGHT IS DIM AND CANNOT BE SEEN

WHEN I TURNED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEATED SEAT ON I WAS GETTING A STRONG ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE BUT CAR RECENTLY HAD THE RECALLED ALTERNATOR REPLACED.

I WAS TRYING TO PULL OUT OF AN PARKING SPACE THAT WAS ANGLED UP AND WHILE DOING THAT I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. IT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR 30 MINUTES. ALL I COULD HEAR WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKES WAS AIR. IT WOULD NOT WORK UNLESS PUTTING EXTREME PRESSURE ON IT.

REAR RUNNING TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS NOT WATERPROOF, THIS ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER THE LED RUNNING LIGHTS. NOW THE RUNNING LIGHTS ARE STARTING TO BURN OUT AND ARE NOT LIT PROPERLY. THIS MAKES IT UNSAFE THE VEHICLE LESS VISIBLE AND UNSAFE FOR TRAVELS.

DETAILS ISSUED 8/19/2015 RECALL ID 240549 NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 14V567000 VEHICLES AFFECTED 292,798 COMPONENT AFFECTED ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN STARTING AND THAT IS EMBARRASSING WORKING HOME CARE

WITH LESS THAN 77,000 MILES ON MY 2011 DODGE AVENGER THE HEATING SYSTEM QUIT WORKING,I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST 2,000 TO 3,000 DOLLARS TO FIX. I ALSO BEEN TOLD FROM PAST DODGE MECHANICS THAT DODGE HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR 10 TO 15 YEARS AND FAIL TO RECALL THE CARS AFFECTED. I CURRENTLY HAVE NO HEAT ON EITHER SIDE OF THE CAR,AFTER SEEING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY DODGE.

ON 03/02/2018 ON OR ABOUT 3:15PM I WAS DRIVING MY PICKUP. I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 40MPH WHEN A HEARD A LOUD BANG FROM UNDER MY TRUCK MY REAR WHEELS THEN LOCKED UP AND I START SKIDDING OUT OF CONTROL.ONCE STOPED I GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK AND SAW WHERE THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD SNAPPED AWAY FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. I CALLED AAA AND WAS STUCK FOR MORE THAN THREE HOURS, BECAUSE THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS HANGING AND RESTING ON THE GROUND AND THE WHEELS HAD LOCKED UP.TWO ROLL BACK TOW TRUCKS WAS SENT OUT AT DIFFERENT TIMES TO MY LOCATION, BUT WAS UNABLE TO TOW ME BECAUSE OF THE WHEELS BEING LOCK. SO FINALLY AFTER A THREE HOUR WAIT A TOW TRUCK WITH A WHEEL LIFT WAS SEND OUT. THIS TRUCK WITH THE REAR WHEELS LOCKING UP IS VERY UNSAFE AND I WAS FEARFUL THAT I WAS ALMOST KILLED TODAY.

THE VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT START, SOMETIMES IF YOU TURN THE KEY AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL IT MAY START BUT NOT ANLWAYS. BATTERY AND STARTER ARE NEW. ALL ELECTRICAL IS GOOD. THE ISSUE IS AN UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS AND I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL FORUMS WITH THIS COMPLAINT ON THE DODGE JOURNEY. NO MECHANIC CAN PINPOINT WHAT CAUSES THIS. I'VE BEEN STUCK SEVERAL TIMES FOR HOURS DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING. IT MAY BE SOME SECURITY GLITCH OR SOMETHING. DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND GET IT FIXED.
