DODGE Complaints

TWO DAYS AGO MY ABS AND ESC LIGHT CAME ON, I HAVE ALSO NOTICED SINCE THEN I HAVE NO CRUISE CONTROL. IN THE WINTER HERE THE ROADS ARE QUITE SICK, AND THE ANTILOCK BRAKES THAT ARE ON THIS VEHICLE NO LONGER FUNCTION. WHEN I WAS DRIVING INTO WORK AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT, I TRIED TO STOP AND KEPT SLIDING AS A RESULT.

AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR 2 HOURS, WHEN RETURNING HOME AND SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE, I HEARD WHIRLING NOISES COMING FROM MY FUEL TANK. UPON MOVING THE VEHICLE, 30 MINUTES LATER, THE VAN EXPERIENCED A ROUGH START. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. AFTER JUMPING OFF THE VEHICLE, IT RAN SMOOTHLY BUT I AM CONCERNED THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

MY CAR IS AT 71000 MILES IT WILL NOT SWITCH INTO GEARS MEANING I HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON IN HOPE THAT IT WILL SWITCH GEARS. MANY TIMES THAT DOESN'T WORK. MY BRAKE CALIBER HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IT STILL IS MESSED UP AGAIN. YESTERDAY I WAS RIDING DOWN ROAD AND CAR JUST POWERED OFF ON ME FOR NO REASON. I COULD NOT START IT BACK UP AFTER HOUR IT RESTARTED.WE CHECKED ENGINE FLUID ETC EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. I WAITED UNTIL END OF MY SHIFT WENT AND GOT CAR TO TAKE HOME. AS I BEGAN TRAVELING HOME A POWER LIGHTING BOLT CAME ON IN MY DASH. CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN WOULD NOT START UNFORTUNATELY I WAS UNABLE TO BARE OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE EVERYTHING LOCKED UP IN CAR. I WISH I NEVER PURCHASED THIS CAR.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS MOVING OR IF IT IS STATIONARY, THERE IS ONLY WARM AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THERE IS COLD AIR BLOWING OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. ONLY THE DRIVERS HALF OF MY WINDSHIELD WILL DEFROST. I HAVE REPLACED THE ACTUATOR TWICE AND IT DOES NOT HELP. THE CLICKING UNDER THE DASHBOARD NOT ONLY RETURNS, BUT THE HEAT (OR LACK-THERE-OF) IS NOT AFFECTED. IT STILL ONLY BLOWS WARM AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR. THE DEFROST ONLY WORKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO AVENGERS ACROSS THE BOARD, NO MATTER THE MODEL TYPE. ALL DUE IT LOOKS LIKE TO CASTING AND SAND ISSUES. AFTER FLUSHING THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES, THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE. REPLACED THE HEATER CORE/THERMOSTAT ($850) AND THE HEAT WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN STARTED BLOWING COLD AIR AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED THE HEATER CONTROL PANEL. ($275). COLD AIR AGAIN......... THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL OF SOMETHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. NOTHING IS WORKING AND IT'S ONLY COSTING A WHOLE BUNCH OF MONEY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR AND TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE POWER STEERING BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ROCKWALL CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (970 I-30 E, ROCKWALL, TX 75087) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT HE WOULD BE REIMBURSED WHEN THE PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 95,000.

THERE NEEDS BE A RECALL FOR THE 2010 DODGE CHARGER SXT. WHILE DRIVING HOME ON THE INTERSTATE, JUST AS I'M MERGING ON TO MY EXIT, THE CAR SHUTS COMPLETELY DOWN WHILE IN MOTION DURING TRAFFIC. I HAD NO IDEA THAT IT HAD COMPLETELY STALLED UNTIL I TRIED TO GIVE IT GAS AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AS I WAS GOING INTO TO A CURVE WITH CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND BEHIND. HAD TO FIGHT LIKE [XXX] TO TURN THE WHEEL AND USE THE BRAKES TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP. I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE WITH NO SUCCESS. IT KEPT TURNING OVER MAKING A "RU RUR RUR RUR RUR" SOUND WHICH WAS ACCOMPANIED BY THE SMELL OF WIRES BURNING AND A RED LIGHTNING BOLT THAT APPEARED ON THE DASH. TRIED TO START AGAIN, IT BECAME WORSE. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING YET. CALLED DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY COULD SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT, THEY RELUCTANTLY DECLINED TO DO SO IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE. THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED THAT IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. DODGE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ASAP. THIS [XXX] IS GOING TO GET SOMEBODY KILLED IF A RECALL IS NOT ISSUED. I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED LACK OF ACCELERATION AND MODERATE VIBRATION WHILE BEING OPERATED AT 60 MPH. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DICK POE CHRYSLER JEEP (6501 MONTANA AVE, EL PASO, TX) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PCM WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 149,000.

REAR LIGHT BAR GOT WATER IN IT AT 30,000 MILES DEALER REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT. REAR LIGHT BAR NOW ELECTRICAL SHORTED OUT FROM WATER

DRIVER'S HEADREST DEPLOYED DUE TO THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS A PIN BROKE INTERNALLY. THIS SPRING LOADED SYSTEM APPARENTLY HAD ENOUGH TENSION THAT IT BROKE THE PLASTIC. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND UNOCCUPIED AT THE TIME. IF I HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE VEHICLE MY NECK COULD HAVE BEEN BROKEN. A REPLACEMENT HEADREST IS ABOUT $650, NOT INCLUDING LABOR, ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD IT IS NOT IN WARRANTY. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN 4YRS.

THE REAR DRIVER SIDE CAMBRIDGE CANT BE ADJUSTED AND IT IS WEARING MY TIRES. ALIGNMENT SHOP IS SAYING THAT THEY CANT BE ADJUSTED SO THEY CANT ALIGN MY CAR- IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS? HOW CAN THIS BE FIXED WENT TO TWO PLACES ONE IN DECEMBER 2017 AND ONE THIS MONTH JANUARY 2018
