DODGE Complaints

I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN I LOSE POWER AND THE TRUCK DIES. WHEN THAT HAPPENS I LOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PULL OVER TO SAFETY.THIS HAPPENS OFTEN AND AT ANYTIME NO MATTER IF I'M ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. IT SEEMS TO HAVE AN EFFECT ON MY IGNITION AND 4-WHEEL DRIVE

FEBRUARY 2,2018 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN TURNED OFF AND PARKED IN DRIVE WAY MY DAUGHTER COMES IN AND SAID THE VAN SOUNDS LIKE IT'S STILL RUNNING WENT OUT AND HEARD WHAT SHE HEARD ALSO CHECK ON THIS THREE TIMES BEFORE GOING TO BED( THIS NOISE CAME FROM THE GAS TANK). THE NEXT DAY 02/03/2018 NOISE WAS NOT THERE ANYMORE. I HAD SCHEDULE RECALL WORK TO BE PERFORM ON 02/05/2018 BUT RE-SCHEDULE WITH SERVICE ADVISOR FOR 02/06/2018 CAR WOULD NOT START KEY STUCK IN IGNITION SWITCH. TOW TRUCK PICKED UP 02/07/2018 TOOK TO DEALERSHIP EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPEN I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR TO EXPECT A CALL ON FRIDAY 02/09/2018 CALL CAME DEAD BATTERY(NEW BATTERY 01/24/2018) AND THE TIPM KIT WAS NEEDED. THIS VEHICLE 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN TIPM SHOULD BE LISTED AS A RECALL. I STARTED LAST YEAR HAVING STARTING CONCERNS WITH THIS VAN NOT WANTING TO START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 3500. WHILE DRIVING OVER UNLEVELED LAND AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER (NORTHERN CHRYSLER, 23 W RAILROAD ST, CUT BANK, MT 59427, (406) 873-2200) DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIN MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED A RECALL FOR OTHER YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL VEHICLES CONCERNING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BUT NOT FOR THE CONTACT'S YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

REAR END BEARING NOISE WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING. REFERENCE PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR 2011 RAM 1500 FOR REAR BEARING FAILURE CAUSING AXLE TO LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING. POTENTIAL CRASH HAZARD FROM LOSS OF CONTROL. HOWEVER THIS VIN IS APPARENTLY NOT COVERED BY RECALL!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 RAM 2500. AFTER THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND EXITED THE VEHICLE, IT PROCEEDED TO ROLL AND RAN HIM OVER. THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND SUFFERED A CONTUSION ON THE LEFT KNEE, LACERATIONS ON THE LEFT LEG, AND OTHER MINOR INJURIES. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS RECEIVED. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA. THE CONTACT RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V821000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 219,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHEN DRIVING AND APPLYING THE BRAKES THEY WILL SOMETIMES GO SOFT I WILL HAVE TO REAPPLY THEM FOR THE BRAKES TO GO BACK TO NORMAL. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM THAT DODGE KNOWS EXISTS. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET MY CAR ADDED TO THE RECALL?

THE UCONNECT RADIO SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING IN THE CARS. AS SUCH, THE SYSTEM REBOOTS THE RADIO EVERY 30 SECONDS. THE RADIO CONTROLS THE BACKUP CAMERA AMONG OTHER THINGS. SINCE IT CONTINUOUSLY REBOOTS EVERY THIRTY SECONDS, THE BACKUP CAMERA FAILS AND YOU.CANNOT SEE PEOPLE BEHIND YOU. THE POTENTIAL FOR HITTING PEDESTRIANS IS HORRIBLE. PEOPLE COULD BE KILLED BY THIS. DODGE KNOWS ABOUT AND DOESN'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED.

THE ENTIRE 8.4" SCREEN ON THE DASHBOARD FLASHES ON AND OFF CONTINUALLY WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING OR NOT. SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A MAJOR SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WHILE THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER HEATING, VENTILATION, RADIO, NAVIGATION, APPS OR APPLE CAR PLAY. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE FLASHING SCREEN CAUSES A HAZARDOUS DISTRACTION IN AN OTHERWISE DARK VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 RAM 2500 CUMMINS DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70-75 MPH. THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION FOLLOWED BY MULTIPLE VIOLENT SOUNDS COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE JUST BELOW MY FEET. THE FLOOR BOARD BELOW MY FEET WAS PUSHED UPWARD NEARLY 1 FOOT FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN COMPONENTS SLAMMING INTO THE CAB UNTIL I COULD GET PULLED OVER. THE DRIVETRAIN NEARLY PENETRATED INTO THE CAB. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER. AFTER LOOKING UNDER THE TRUCK THE TRANSFER CASE HAD EXPLODED LEAVING METAL COMPONENTS ALL OVER THE INTERSTATE. THE EXPLOSION HAS CAUSED FROM EARLY ESTIMATES 15-25K IN DAMAGES. THE TRANSFER CASE, TRANSMISSION, DRIVESHAFTS, BRAKE LINES, WIRING HARNESSES, EMISSIONS COMPONENTS AMONG OTHER PARTS ARE COMPLETELY RUINED. THE TRUCK MAY BE TOTALED. THE TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND CHRYSLER ISN'T BEING VERY HELPFUL. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO INJURIES BUT THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE CASE NEXT TIME.

ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WHEN PRESSING UNLOCK BUTTON MY DOORS LOCK INSTEAD. MY PLUG OUTLET NO LONGER WORKS. WHEN ROLLING DOWN DRIVER WINDOW DOWN. PASSENGER WINDOW WILL ROLL DOWN AND UP ALSO. MY GAS CAP LIGHT HAS STAYED AND AND GAS CAP HAS BEEN REPLACED.SHIFT SOLENOID
