DODGE Complaints

HEATER BLOWING COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT BLOWS VERY LITTLE HOT AIR ONLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE DEFROST DOES NOT WORK HARDLY AT ALL DUE TO THIS SITUATION. THIS ALL STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF TO 2 YEARS AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW. I FEEL LIKE IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS CAR WHEN THE DEFROST IS NEEDED. I TOOK MY CAR TO A DODGE DEALER LAST WEEK AND PAID TO HAVE MY CAR FLUSHED IN HOPES OF MAKING THE HEATER WORK. THAT DIDN'T HELP SO THEY SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY A NEW HEATER CORE. SO AFTER OWNING A BRAND NEW CAR FOR A YEAR AND A HALF TO 2 YEARS SHOULD NOT IN MY OPINION NEED A NEW HEATER CORE. I'VE BEEN READING A LOT OF REVIEWS ON THESE CARS AND I SEE WHERE LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME EXACT THING AS MYSELF. SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG WITH THE MAKING OF THIS PARTICULAR CAR.

VEHICLE STATIONARY, INTERMITTENTLY NOT STARTING WHEN PUSH BUTTON HAS BEEN PRESSED, WE CAN HEAR STARTER ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE BUT WILL NOT START. SOMETIMES THE STARTER CONTINUOUSLY RUNS FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE STARTER, IS YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE AND LOCK THE CAR W/KEY FOB. HAS DONE THIS INTERMITTENTLY SINCE JULY OF 2017. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD THE FUEL PUMP RELAY REPLACED DUE RECALL ON 09/2015. THE INTERMITTENT NON STARTING ISSUE HAS OCCURRED A TOTAL OF 12+ TIMES. ON TWO OF THE OCCURANCES THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN VIDEO TAPED. HAD THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TWO DIFFERENT TIMES AND BOTH TIMES THEY STATE THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM NOR WERE THERE ANY CODES IN THE SYSTEM, THEREFORE, THEY COULD NOT RESOLVE THE MATTER. WHEN WE TRIED TO SHOW THEM THE VIDEOS THEY ADVISED THAT THEY HAD NO INTEREST IN VIEWING THEM. THEY ALSO ADVISED SEVERAL TIMES THAT WITHOUT A DUPLICATION OF THE ISSUE, THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN THAT WE ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT THEY KNOW OF THAT IS HAVING THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE.

THE DASH IS CRACKED BAD AND COULD CAUSE A PERSON TO GET CUT FROM THIS.REALLY CRACKED BADLY FROM THE SUN.POORLY MADE FROM PLASTIC.IF YOU WANT PHOTOS,LET ME KNOW,AND I WILL SEND YOU SOME.

I'VE CHECK WITH JIM BURKE DODGE SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THE RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION FOR MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER. AS OF TODAY JANUARY 15, 2018 NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I'M BEING TOLD THEIR ISN'T A FIX AT THIS TIME.

WHETHER I AM DRIVING MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY AND STOPPED W/TRAFFIC OR ON A CITY STREET AT STOP LIGHT/SIGN AND MY FOOT IS ON THE BREAK, THE CAR HAS A TENDENCY TO TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN. I DID TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC TODAY 1/15/18 WHO PUT IT ON DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND A PROBLEM WAS DETECTED WITH CODE P2122 THROTTLE/POSITION SENSOR/SWITCH"D" CIRCUIT LOW INPUT. MECHANIC SAID I SHOULD CHECK FOR ANY SAFETY RECALLS.

I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT DODGE MULTIPLE TIMES FOR REIMBURSEMENT ON A FAULTY ALTERNATOR. THE PART WAS ISSUED AS A RECALL (17V-435) ON 07-10-17. SINCE THEN I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO SUBMIT DOCUMENTATION FOR REIMBURSEMENT WITH NO SUCCESS. I'VE SPOKE WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM DODGE MULTIPLE TIMES ALL CLAIMING TO NOT HAVE RECEIVED MY DOCUMENTS. I'VE SUBMITTED THE VIA EMAIL, MAIL AND UPLOADED THEM TO THERE WEBSITE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 6 MONTHS NOW.

TAKATA RECALL SAID VEHICLE HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT IMPROPERLY PULLED ACROSS THE HIGHWAY IN FRONT OF MY 2003 DODGE DURANGO. THEREWAS A DISABLING ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE AIR BAGS EXPLODED AND BURNED,PARTIALLY, THERE IS A POLICE REPORT AS WELL AS MEDICAL AND PHOTO DOCUMENTATION.

THIS VEHICLE IS UNDER RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG EXPLOSION POTENTIAL. I HAD THE DEALER ORDER THE REPLACEMENT PART OVER 6 MONTHS AGO AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PART. I AM ON BLOOD THINNERS SO I CANNOT EVEN DRIVE MY TRUCK FOR FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD EASILY BE FATAL TO ME.

MY AIRBAG SENSOR WILL NOT STOP CHIMMING. IT WORRIES ME BECAUSE I'M UNCERTAIN IF IT WILL EJECT WHILE JUST DRIVING. THAT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OPPOSE TO BEING SAFE.

THE VAN RANDOMLY AND WITH NO WARNING LOSES POWER STEERING AND LOCKS THE GAS PEDAL SO IT CANNOT BE PRESSED WHILE DRIVING AROUND 25-35 MPH. PUTTING THE VAN IN PARK AND RESTARTING THE CAR FIXES THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 8 TIMES IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS. MECHANIC HAS TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN NEAR STOPLIGHTS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. IT ALSO SEEMS TO OCCUR WITHIN 10-20 MINUTES OF STARTING THE VEHICLE. ON ONE OCCASION THE BRAKES LOCKED UP WITH THE STEERING. NO ENGINE LIGHTS TURN ON WHEN IT HAPPENS, AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM ON DEMAND. THROUGH SOCIAL NETWORKING AND RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ONLINE MANY OTHER DODGE CARAVANS AND CHRYSLER VANS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH NO SOLUTION.
