DODGE Complaints

AFTER PRESSING THE VEHICLE IGNITION BUTTON TO TURN OFF, IF YOU PRESS THE BUTTON TO TURN IT BACK ON, IT CONSTANTLY TRIES TO TURN OVER. THIS HAPPENS ALSO WHEN YOU PRESS THE IGNITION BUTTON AND IT DOESN'T TURN OVER. IF YOU PRESS THE IGNITION BUTTON, IT DOESN'T START, PRESS THE BUTTON AGAIN, IT CONSTANTLY TURNS OVER. THE ONLY WAY TO SUCCESSFULLY START IT AFTER THAT IS TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE, CLOSE THE DOOR, AND GET BACK IN. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED TO REVERSE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED BEFORE THE FAILURE. AN UNKNOWN DEALER LOCATION WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NO RECALLS; THEREFORE, HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 152,000.

MY TRUCK WOULD NOT START HAD IT DIAGNOSED. FOUND IT WAS ACOMMON PROBLEM. THE TIPM PART# RL692319AJ FOUND TO COST 900.00 CRAZY. IT WAS FOUND TO BE TO COMMON OF PROBLEM NOT TO BE ON A RECALL .......................I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR.

LOW PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE RUPTURED AND BEGAN LEAKING UPON START UP IN COLD WEATHER

I RECENTLY HAD A INVESTIGATOR INSPECT MY VEHICLE THAT BROKE THE RIGHT REAR AXLE. CHRYSLER GOT BACK TO ME AND CLAIMED THE BREAK WAS NOT FROM THERE RECALL. CHRYSLER AVOIDED MY WHOLE COMPLAINT OF DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. I WAS NOT RELYING ON RECALLS BUT THE MATERIAL IS NOT RIGHT. I HAD A COUPLE OF PROFESSIONAL WELDERS LOOK AT THE AXLE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BREAK WAS ON A WELD, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE STRONGEST POINT AND THAT THE MATERIAL LOOKS POROUS. I HAVE ALREADY FILED A CLAIM ON THIS MATTER, WHICH TOTALED MY TRUCK DUE TO THE AXLE BREAKING. SEE ALSO 11031993

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THERE WERE SQUEALING NOISES AND A VIBRATION FROM THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CHAMPION CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE IN INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE POWER TRAIN UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT LEAST THIRTY TIMES BY VARIOUS DEALERS SINCE 2013. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

IT STALLS WHILE IN GEAR AND MOVING AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WORSE WHEN TEMPS ARE COLDER OUTSIDE. CURRENTLY 99000 MILES.

WE PURCHASED A 2011 RAM 1500 5.7L HEMI IN 2012 AND LOVED IT UP UNTIL NOVEMBER 2017, WENT IN TO POWER SAVING MODE WITH CEL ON. SCANNED CODES AND IT WAS TIMING CODE. SO WE REPLACED THE VVT SOLENOID AND IT IS RUNNING EVEN WORSE! WE H AVE SPENT OVER $2500 JUST TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THIS TRUCK! WE ARE BEYOND UPSET ABOUT IT, ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE DONT EVEN HAVE IT PAID OFF! IT HAS TONS WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF TAIL PIPE, TERRIBLE MISFIRE, SHAKING, BLOW BY, PRESSURE COMING OUT OF OIL FILL CAP, AND CEL IS ON. HAS CYLINDER 1 MI SFIRE. WE HAVE REDONE THE SPARK PLUGS, INTAKE MANIFOLD AND GASKETS, PCV, VVT SOLENOID,AIR FILTER, OIL FILTER, COIL PACK,INJECTOR CLIPS, AND MUCH MORE! HAVE TAKEN THIS TRUCK TO 4 ASE CERTIFIED MECHANICS (2 OF WHICH ARE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS) AND HAVE NO ANSWERS BESIDES POSSIBLE CAUSES CAMS AND LIFTERS AND THEY WANT ME TO JUST BUY ANOTHER ENGINE!! OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE PISTONS,RINGS, CAM,LIFTERS, AND CRANK. $2500 PLUS IN JUST DIAGNOSING AND NO ANSWERS?! SEEMS PRETTY FISHY!

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE TIME THAN I CAN COUNT. INITIALLY I WAS TOLD IT MIGHT BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, SO THEY CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS. THE CAR DIED AGAIN, HAD TO GET TOWED TO THE MECHANIC AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT MIGHT BE THE BATTERIES. I CHANGED THE BATTERIES. THEN IT DIED AGAIN, THEY SAID IT MIGHT BE THE COMPUTERS, MIND YOU THIS IS A 2013 BRAND NEW VEHICLE, I AM CHANGING THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN 2017 EVEN THOUGH IT HAD OVER 115000 AT THIS POINT. I AUTHORIZED THEM TO KEEP THE VEHICLE AND PUT AS MUCH MILES ON IT UNTIL THE PROBLEM REPLICATED ITSELF. THEY HAD IT FOR OVER 2 MONTHS. I GOT IT BACK IN AND IT DIED ON MY WAY TO WORK AGAIN. THIS TIME I WENT TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC WHO IS NOT THE DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP, THE VEHICLE WORKED FOR 1 AND A HALF WEEKS BEFORE IT DIED ON ME AGAIN THIS WEEK ON MY WAY TO WORK. I HAVE CHANGED MOST IF NOT ALL PARTS OF MY FRANKENSTEIN VEHICLE, WHICH MIND YOU IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. AT THIS POINT I AM SO FRUSTRATED I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I HAVE SPENT OVER $5000 FIXING MY VEHICLE WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT SHE WILL NOT BREAK DOWN. I HAVE CONTACTED CAPITALONE AUTO FINANCE AND EXPLAINED THAT I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING FOR A CAR THAT I AM NOT USING. I CALLED DODGE TO REPORT THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT HELP ME. AT THIS POINT I AM GETTING READY TO FILE A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT AND USING SOCIAL MEDIA TO VOICE MY CONCERNS UNTIL MY ISSUE IS RESOLVED.

ON FEB 15, 2018 AT ABOUT 2:00 P.M. MY VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. MY SON WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, AND REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE GOING ABOUT 25 MPH. THE FRONT BUMPER WAS DAMAGED AND THE FRONT AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. DUE TO THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE I BELIEVE THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED.I AM LOOKING FOR HELP INVESTIGATING THIS.
