TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL HAD BEEN LOCKING AND JERKING IN EITHER DIRECTION, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO HAVE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE EACH TIME IT HAPPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (WEST BROTHERS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 3 NORTH SERVICE ROAD, SULLIVAN, MO 63080, 1-(877) 327-6183) TWICE, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE.

HEATER BLOWS COLD ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR AND WARM ON DRIVERS SIDE OF CAR. WON'T DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD FOR MANY MILES. DEALER SAID IT'S HEATER CORE AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM DODGE. SAND AND METAL FRAGMENTS FROM THE FACTORY ENGINE MOLD GETS INTO THE WATER SYSTEM AND IN TIME PLUGS THE HEATER CORE OR RADIATOR IN TIME.THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE. OR SHOULD BE

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HEATING THE CAR WARM ON DRIVER-SIDE, COLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE HEATER COIL BY THE DEALERSHIP. IF IT THE HEATER COIL WHY IS IT HEATING ON ONE SIDE?

"TAKATA RECALL" THE CAR HAS A RAW FUEL SMELL THAT FILLS THE CABIN AND ALSO THE TRUNK AREA, ESPECIALLY WHEN I FILL TANK. I HAVE TAKEN TO 2 MECHANICS AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A LEAK. THE CAR DOES THIS MOVING AND SITTING STILL, RUNNING OR OFF.

WHILE PARKED, LOCKED AND UNATTENDED THE HORN KEPT HONKING AND WOULD NOT STOP. HAD TO REMOVE FUSES 22 AND 23. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR THIS SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY RESOLUTION. A HORN IS REQUIRED TO DRIVE INCASE OF EMERGENCY TO AVOID COLLISIONS. IT IS CRIMINAL THAT DODGE WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. HELP IS NEED HERE, PLEASE. HTTPS://DODGEFORUM.COM/FORUM/DODGE-JOURNEY/375847-2010-JOURNEY-WITH-HONKING-ISSUE-4.HTML

MY VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING AS IF IT HAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS BEFORE I MAKE IT TO THE HIGHWAY. IT USUALLY HAPPENS AS I'M SLOWING DOWN. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS A BATTERY PROBLEM IN SEPT. 2017 AND I PAID OVER $600 TO HAVEN THEM REPLACE THE BATTERY, WHICH RESOLVED THE ISSUE UNTIL NOW. THERE IS A RECALL R42 FOR THIS VERY ISSUE, HOWEVER IT DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VIN NUMBER. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL FITS EXACTLY WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WENT AND HAD IT READ. SAID IT WAS LOW ON COOLANT, PUT COOLANT IN AFTER CAR WAS NOT HOT AND LIGHT CONTINUED TO STAY ON AND ALL READ UP THE SAME, LOW COOLANT, BUT IT WASN'T. APPARENTLY IT WAS THE THERMOSTAT. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THESE FAULTY THINGS? I HAVE SEEN MORE PEOPLE REPORTING PROBLEMS FOR THESE AND THERE IS STILL NO RECALL!!! I WILL NEVER OWN ANYTHING CHRYSLER MADE AGAIN, THEY NEVER STAND BEHIND THEIR MISTAKES, BUT EXPECT THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES TO PAY A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE FIXED.

I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND WAS FILLING MY VEH. WITH GAS AND IT BEGAN TO VIGOROUSLY SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHERE THE GAS CAP FITS AND THE STATION'S FILLER NOZZLE, ALL OVER MY SKIN, CLOTHS, THE SIDE OF THE VEH. AND THE GROUND. THIS WAS A GUSHER OF GAS SPRAYING OUT WITH FORCE AND WOULD NOT LET ME FILL THE VEH.! THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OF THE DODGE RAM TRUCKS AND IS COVERED ON ALL MODELS EXCEPT MINE. THE DEALER TELLS ME IT IS RECALL# X49 ON OTHER TRUCKS ALL AROUND MY VIN # AND AGE BUT NOT MINE. THIS A BIG FIRE ISSUE AND IF OTHER TRUCKS DO IT AND GET FIXED WHY IS MINE LESS LIKELY TO CATCH FIRE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE HAD TO FILL IT FROM A CAN WITH A FUNNEL TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE. THIS NEGATES ANY EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROLS I HAVE. PLEASE HELP ME!
