DODGE Complaints

HEN THE CAR WAS 10 DAYS OLD I GOT HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND IT WAS BAD BUSTED MY FACE UP . THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOIED A TREE FAILON THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THE AIRBAGS NERER DEPLOIRD. THEN I RAN IN A TREE TO KEEP FROM HITTING A TREE ANDAIRBAGS STILL DIDNT DEPLOY. CAN YOU TELL ME WHY THEY HAVENT DEPLOY . THE FIRST ACCEDENT WAS BAD TOOK THEM 3 OR FOR MONTHS TO FIX IT. WHY ISTHIS CAR STILL ON THE ROAD?

I HAD TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION AFTER 60 K MILES ALTHOUGH I TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF THE CAR.THE MECHANIC AND OTHER CUSTOMERS WERE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE WITH SAME MODEL! GEAR DOESN'T SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. WHILE DRIVING ON NORMAL ROAD AND NORMAL SPEED. THIS CAR MAINLY USED TO COMMUTE TO SCHOOL NEARBY. NEVER OFF-ROAD AND NEVER MISSED A MAINTENANCE REQUIRED.NO CUSHION LIGHT BUT THERE IS A CODE AND A REPLACEMENT OR TRANSMISSION REBUILT IS REQUIRED, MY POOR FAMILY LOST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON THIS JOB. THE MECHANIC ENCOURAGED ME TO REPORT THIS VEHICLE DUE TO MANY SMELLER CARS FROM THE SAME TYPE AND MODEL WITH EXACT SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. HE TOOK CARE OF MY CAR AND IT SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND ADVISE.

WATER CONTINUES TO ENTER THE REAR RACE TRACK TAIL LIGHT AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ONCE THE WATER FILLS THE LIGHT THE LED GOES OUT AND MUST BE REPLACED FOR SAFETY (HAS NOT GONE OUT ON MINE YET). MY LIGHTS ARE SEALED AND THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THEM YET THERE IS WATER ENTERING THE INSIDE OF THE LIGHTS. I AM UNABLE TO SEE IF THE WATER ENTERS THE LIGHTS DURING MOTION OR WHEN STATIONARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BANGING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR AXLE DETACHED INDEPENDENTLY. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT DETACHED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY DID NOT GO BY CARFAX INFORMATION, AND THE VEHICLE WAS FROM CANADA AND COULD NOT SERVICED.

INVOLVED IN VIOLENT AUTO ACCIDENT 2/5/2018 WHERE 2 CONTACTS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AIR BAGS. AIR BAGS REMAINED INTACT AND NEVER DEPLOYED. AUTO SPEED PRIOR TO ACCIDENT WAS APPROX. 65 MILES AN HOUR UNTIL HEAD ON CONTACT. THE VEHICLE WAS AS DESCRIBED IN MOTION UNTIL CRASH. *TT *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE BRAKE WOULD NOT ENGAGE WHILE THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. AND THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

WHILE TRAVELING AT VERY SLOW SPEED (WAS NAVIGATING THRU PARKING GARAGE), WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE PASSENGER SIDE-CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYED (NO ONE WAS IN THE RIGHT-FRONT SEAT AT THE TIME). THERE WAS NO IMPACT/CRASH (NOT EVEN A BUMP), THE AIRBAG JUST DEPLOYED BY-ITSELF. CONTACTED FIAT/CHRYSLER. THEY SENT AN INVESTIGATOR/INSPECTOR FROM HOUSTON (2 HOURS AWAY). TO DOWNLOAD BOSCH AIRBAG COMPUTER DATA, AND INSPECT THE VEHICLE. INVESTIGATOR SPENT TWO HOURS TAKING HUNDREDS OF PICTURES, MEASUREMENTS, ETC. NOTE: SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK, AS WE ARE TOLD THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO ON AIRBAG DEPLOYMENTS. FINALLY, AFTER REQUESTING MULTIPLE TIMES (AS OWNERS MANUAL SAYS WE ARE ENTITLED TO, FIAT/CHRYSLER PROVIDED INFO DOWNLOADED FROM AIRBAG COMPUTERS WITH CDR (CRASH DATA REPORT, EVEN THO THERE WAS NO CRASH). WE UNDERSTAND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EVENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECORDED. AFTER 3 MONTHS OF THE VEHICLE SITTING, NOT BEING DRIVEN, THE REPORT SAYS THERE WAS [NO EVENTS RECOVERED]. SO... IT SOUNDS LIKE THE AIRBAG COMPUTER DIDN'T KNOW THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, BUT THE AIRBAG/SRS LIGHT ON THE DASH, REMAINS ILLUMINATED, WITH NO IDEA, WHATSOEVER, CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. FIAT/CHRYSLER'S OFFICIAL RESPONSE: THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WE CAN RENDER NO MORE ASSISTANCE WITH THE MATTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING UPHILL I INCURRED LOSE OF POWER TO THE REAR WHEELS. IT GAVE A SMALL SHAKE AND I LOST POWER CAUSING MY RPM TO RAISE. PULLED THE TRUCK OVER ONTO SIDE OF ROAD AND CHECKED FOR ANY POSSIBLE LEAKS OR DAMAGE AND NOTICE NONE. WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK AGAIN I ONLY HAD FIRST GEAR. THERE IS A RECALL BY DODGE REFERENCED AS THE N50 AND DODGE IS TELLING ME THIS DOES NOT PERTAIN TO MY PICKUP HOWEVER, THE SYMPTOMS IN MY TRUCK ARE THE SAME AS THE N50 RECALL.
