DODGE Complaints

POWER STEERING RETURN LINE BURST ON A COLD START 01/17/18 IN MOORHEAD MN AT ABOUT 0 DEGREES F. HE IS A NEW DRIVER AS OF 09/13/17 AND WAS SCARED AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN TURNING LEFT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC THAT THE VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO STEER. HE AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT NARROWLY. DESPITE MANY MANY MODELS OF THE DODGE JOURNEY VEHICLE BEING COVERED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN #16V273000, HIS VEHICLE ISN'T. THIS TYPE OF MFR DEFECT SHOULD NOT BE PRESENTED LIVE IN TRAFFIC TO AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER. HIS EXACT VEHICLE MODEL AND ENGINE ARE COVERED UNDER THE CAMPAIGN IF IT HAD A BLOCK HEATER? THE LACK OF BLOCK HEATER HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS FAILURE AND OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED.

THE WIN MODULE MAKES THE CAR SHUT OFF, WITHOUT WARNING TO THE DRIVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES GOING DOE THE FREE WAY AT 81 MPHS. IT ALSO HAPPENS IN THE CITY. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IT GOING TO HAPPEN. THE TRUCK LITERALLY SHUTS OFF BECAUSE WHENEVER. IT ALSO HAS ISSUES STARTING BACK UP.

TIPM IS BAD. CONFIRMED WITH DODGE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER. PROBLEM CRANKING IN THE MORNING AND ESPECIALLY IN COLD TEMPERATURES. BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING AMONG OTHER SENSORS. VERY DANGEROUS AND MUST BE RECALLED.

I'VE NOTICE THAT WHEN I'M DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS OR AROUND THE CITY, WIPERS COME ON BY ITSELF. THAT HAPPEN TWICE... SOMETIMES THE SUNROOF DON'T OPEN, WHEN THE SUNROOF OPENS DON'T WANT TO CLOSE SOMETIMES. WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY CAN'T SEEM TO GET ENOUGH POWER TO CATCH UP WITH TRAFFIC, SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS ABOUT TO GIVE OUT. VERY LAGGY....THE NOTIFICATION FOR ENGINE/TRANS COMES OFF/ON AT TIMES. OTHER TO SOUND WEIRD BUT I BELIEVE SOMEONE HAS ACCESS REMOTELY TO VEHICLE. ALL THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY OR EVERY FEW DAYS I'VE NOTICED.

2004 DODGE DURANGO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH VEHICLE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED HAD A RECALL FOR AIRBAGS AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE CONSUMER STATED BATTERY DISCHARGED IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AFTER THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS MOVED TO THE OF POSITION.
