DODGE Complaints

CYLINDER 5 MISSFIRE-CAMSHAFT: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 10 IN LOUISIANA. I NOTICED THAT THE POWER HAD REDUCED, FUEL ECONOMY DROPPED, AND THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING, THE ENTIRE TRUCK WAS SHAKING LIKE A TIRE WAS ABOUT TO BLOW OUT. AFTER EXITING AND FINDING THE NEAR O'REILY, I WAS TOLD TO CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS,AND IGNITION COIL #5 AS WELL AS THE FUEL INJECTOR. AFTER ALL THAT WAS REPLACED, THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND FLASHING THE SAME CODE. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A NEARBY DEALERSHIP AND AFTER THEIR DIAGNOSTICS TEST WAS COMPLETE, THEY REPORTED BACK WITH REPLACING THE CAMSHAFT! THIS VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND A 5.7 HEMI. IT WILL ALSO BE A MAJOR OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE DUE TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRING APRIL 2017. IT WILL HAVE TO BE FIXED BEFORE WE PUT IT BACK ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE SAFETY HAZARD AND I HAVE TWO CAR SEATS.

ISSUES I HAVE HAD SO FAR: 'CAR WAS ON AND RUNNING, IN PARK, COULDN'T MOVE IT FROM PARK TO DRIVE. HAD TO TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO 'RESTART' THE MAIN COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS ALL THAT 'THE HEADLIGHTS, VISOR MIRROR LIGHTS, DASHBOARD MAIN LIGHT FLICKERED WORSE THAN ANY OTHER TIMES (THIS HAPPENS MOST FREQUENTLY) 'THE FOLLOWING DASHBOARD LIGHTS WOULD LIGHT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE: BRAKE, EAP BAS, ABS AND THE ONE THAT SHOWS SLIPPERY CONDITIONS 'ODOMETER WOULD GO FROM 0 TO 100 AND BACK AND FORTH LIKE IT WAS POSSESSED MANY, MANY TIMES 'DINGS AND WHATEVER NOISE IS MADE WHEN ALL THE ABOVE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKERED ON AND OFF 'RANDOM LOCK/UNLOCK OF DOORS 'RADIO WOULD RANDOMLY SHUT OFF AND COME BACK ON * HAD TO BE JUMP STARTED 3 TIMES AS MY 13 MONTH BATTERY WAS DRAINED TO NOTHING TOOK TO LOCAL DODGE DEALER, ALL THEY DID WAS REPLACE MY 13 MON. OLD BATTERY AND IGNITION FUSES AND SENT ME ON MY WAY WITHOUT THE ISSUE BEING FIXED. ALL THE ABOVE HAS HAPPENED IN MOTION OR STATIONARY EXCEPT TRYING TO MOVE FROM PARK TO DRIVE WAS STATIONARY. I POSTED VIDEO OF THIS ON MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL (HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=MKQQ1YM7SHU) I STRONGLY FEEL THIS IS A FAULTY TIPM REFERENCES THAT HAVE SAME ISSUE AS I DO: HTTPS://DODGEFORUM.COM/FORUM/3RD-GEN-DURANGO/379400-TIPM-RECALL-COMING.HTML HTTPS://DODGEFORUM.COM/FORUM/3RD-GEN-DURANGO/379400-TIPM-RECALL-COMING-3.HTML HTTPS://WWW.CHRYSLER.COM/WEBSELFSERVICE/FCANORTH/VININPUTFORM.JSP I ALSO CONTACT AN ONLINE MOPAR REPRESENTATIVE ON THIS ISSUE AND ALL THEY SAID WAS 'SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OVER THE 36,000 FACTORY WARRANTY, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHO OWNS THE VEHICLE. IF THERE IS A COMMON ISSUE DUE TO A DEFECT AND NOT SOME EXTERNAL SOURCES. I WOULD RECOMMEND KEEPING YOUR RECEIPTS IF THIS EVER DOES BECOME THE CASE WE WILL SEND OUT A LETTER AND YOU CAN SUBMIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT.' SO BASICALLY I AM SCREWED!

STARTING LAST WINTER,2016, HEATER BEGAN TO BLOW COLD AIR MORE SO ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS WINTER TOOK TO VERY GOOD MECHANIC WHO FLUSHED SYSTEM ,CHECKED ACTUATOR DOORS AND ELECTRICAL.HE SAID HOW HEATER CORE WAS MOUNTED CAUSES RESIDUE,THAT CAN'T BE FLUSHED OUT,AND WAS CAUSING LACK OF HEAT TO MOST OF CABIN.ALSO THERE IS LITTLE OR NO DEFROST WHICH IS SO VERY DANGEROUS.MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED HEATER CORE TO FIND THR SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. HOPE THERE IS HELP.

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DAKOTA WITH LEATHER SEATS. I TURNED ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER HEAT TO THE SEATS DROVE ABOUT TWO MILES TO DROP MY CHILD OFF TO SCHOOL. WHEN I GOT BACK HOME I NOTICED A BURN HOLE AND MELTED LEATHER AROUND THE HOLE. I HAVEN'T USED IT SINCE.

HEAD ON COLLISION. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. OWNER'S SPOUSE OF THE DODGE JOURNEY 2017 WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION, INITIAL ENCOUNTER CONTUSION OF CHEST WALL, UNSPECIFIED LATERALITY, INITIAL ENCOUNTER. OWNER'S SPOUSE OF THE DODGE JOURNEY 2017 WAS TURNING LEFT INTO THEIR HOME DRIVEWAY AS ONCOMING VEHICLE HIT THE OWNER'S DODGE JOURNEY 2017.

THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BLOWING COLD AIR WITH THE HEATER IS ON. WE WENT TO THE DEALER, WHERE WE HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND THEY SAID THE HEATER CORE IS PARTLY PLUGGED & THAT IT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $1300, AND THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THERE IS LEFTOVER SAND FROM THE ENGINE CAST WHEN DODGE FIRST PUT THE CAR TOGETHER. THE SAND MADE ITS WAY INTO THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE HEATER CORE THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE USES FOR HEAT. I THINK DODGE SHOULD PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE. I CAN BE DRIVING 30 OR MORE MILE AND THE HEATER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE CAN NOT KEEP UP WITH THE COLD AIR.
