DODGE Complaints

REAR CENTER RACETRACK LED TAILLIGHT IS CRACKED FROM FACTORY. IT IS HOLDING RAIN WATER AND SEVERAL LED BULBS BURNT OUT AND BACKUP CAMERA QUIT WORKING. TO FIX YOU NEED TO PURCHASE THE COMPLETE UNIT WHICH IS NON SERVICEABLE ONLY REPLACE FOR $1000.00 PLUS DOLLARS .THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM I FOUND OUT FOR THE 14 AND 15 MODEL YEARS.

I OWN A 2014 DODGE DURANGO THAT HAS WATER POOLING IN THE CENTER TAIL LIGHT. I HAD IT REPLACED 1 YEAR AGO AND THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. STARTED COLLECTING WATER AND SHORTED OUT. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE PART COSTING ABOUT $1,000. CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER THE COSTS OR ADMIT IT IS A QUALITY ISSUE, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE ON BACKORDER AND HARD TO GET. SEAMS LIKE THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 3500. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V821000 (POWER TRAIN); HOWEVER, THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE.

THE CENTER LIGHTING PANEL ON THE LIFT GATE OF THE VEHICLE, IS TAKING ON WATER WHICH CAN AND WILL DAMAGE THE LED LIGHTING, AND COULD ALSO GENERATE AN ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE OR IN THE WORST CASE SCENARIO GENERATE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 DODGE DAKOTA. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GALEANA'S VAN DYKE DODGE (28400 VAN DYKE AVE, WARREN, MI 48093, (586) 573-4000) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL FOR THE GEAR SHIFTER, AND THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER AND THE IGNITION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, MY 4LO LIGHT WOULD BLINK AND THEN GO OFF, AND THEN MY SVC 4WD LIGHT WOULD GO ON FOR ABOUT 4MIN. I TOOK IT INTO MY MECHANIC, HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. TODAY, AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY - WITH MY 3 KIDS, ALL MY WHEELS LOCKED UP AND I COULD NOT DRIVE IT. MIND YOU, I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET NOW. WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY CAR I COULD HEAR MY CAR TRYING TO SHIFT FROM 4LO/4HI/AWD. I HAD TO CALL MY HUSBAND TO COME HOME TO GET MY CAR OFF THE STREET. IN LOOKING UP THIS MATTER ONLINE, THERE SEEMS TO BE ALOT OF ISSUES WITH THIS AND SEEMS TO BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR CAR SHIFTING FROM AWD TO 4LO OR 4HI - THANKFULLY, I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT TO THE MECHANIC AND YOU CAN HEAR IT TRYING TO SHIFT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF - NO KEY OR ANYTHING - WOW! MECHANIC SAID I WAS VERY LUCKY. I WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST SOMEONE LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE, IT SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY WIDELY KNOWN ISSUE.

THE PASSENGER DOORS NO LONGER OPEN WITH THE AUTOMATIC SYSTEM. THE PASSENGER WINDOWS IN THE BACK DO NOT WORK ANY LONGER . THE DOOR LOCKS DO NOT LOCK BY THE REMOTE OR BY THE DOOR BUTTON. I HAVE TO MANUALLY PUSH THEM DOWN. AND OCCASIONALLY THE ALL THE LIGHTS JUST LIGHT UP AND BEGIN FLASHING AND DINGING WHILE DRIVING AND JUST SITTING IN PARK. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS BAD!!!. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ONE FUSE IN THE DRIVERS MOTORIZED SEAT. THIS HAS BEEN ON ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE SPRING OF 2017.

2006 DODGE SPRINTER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO EMISSIONS SAFETY RECALL. *LD *JS

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, WHAT-SO-EVER. MY VEHICLE HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION SO WITHOUT A WORKING EMERGENCY BRAKE, I CANNOT PARK THE CAR ON ANY SORT INCLINE. I'VE SEEN ON NUMEROUS ONLINE FORUMS THAT MANY DODGE DART OWNERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THEIR EMERGENCY BRAKES AS WELL, IN PARTICULAR, DODGE DART VEHICLES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. BASED ON FEEDBACK I'VE READ ON OTHER FORUMS, IT SEEMS THAT THE MANUFACTURER DIDN'T PROPERLY INSTALL THE CABLE THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ATTACHED TOO. I HAD ONE INSTANCE WHERE MY VEHICLE ALMOST ROLLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC DUE TO THE PARKING BRAKE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAD ANOTHER INSTANCE WHERE I HAD PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE IN A CROWDED SHOPPING CENTER WITH PEDESTRIANS PASSING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT WHERE THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACK. I BARELY HAVE OVER 45,000 MILES AND I'VE OWNED CARS WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS SINCE I STARTED DRIVING OVER 20 YEARS AGO. THIS IS THE FIRST INSTANCE I'VE EVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE EMERGENCY BREAK, AND I'VE DRIVEN CARS THAT WERE MUCH OLDER THAN THE ONE I OWN NOW. IT SEEMS THIS IS A MAJOR FLAW IN THE 2015 DODGE DART THAT CHRYSLER FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE. I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA CAN TAKE ACTION UPON CHRYSLER TO AVOID ANY POTENTIAL FUTURE INJURIES DUE TO THE FACT THAT CHRYSLER DIDN'T PROPERLY ATTACH THE CABLES IN THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKES FOR THE 2015 MANUAL DODGE DART MODELS.
