DODGE Complaints

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF AFTER KEY HAS BEEN REMOVED. VEHICLE WILL STAY RUNNING UNTIL EITHER BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED OR IT RUNS OUT OF GAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE NITRO. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 35 MPH. BAY DODGE IN PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA 32401 WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE SERVICE CENTER WAS CLOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 154,359.

THE FAILED TIPM IS DANGEROUS AND COULD LEAVE YOU STRANDED FROM ASTALLED ENGINE. THE FAILED ALTERNATOR MAY HAVE BEEN A BY PRODUCT OF THE FAULTY TIPM. THIS PART SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO RESTART. THE "BATTERY SAVER MODE" INDICATOR ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DICK POE DODGE (1363 AIRWAY BLVD IN EL PASO, TX) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE FACTORY INSTALLED HEADLAMPS ARE TOO DIM IN COMPLETE DARKNESS. I REPLACED MINE OUT WITH SYLVANIA BRIGHT WHITE LIGHTS AT A COST OF AROUND $50.00. I ALSO REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY PREVIOUS CAR, A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. I THINK DODGE NEEDS TO CONSIDER HOW THIS AFFECTS NIGHT-TIME DRIVING ON THESE MODELS. I THINK IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN THE DARK OR FOG WITH THOSE OLD LIGHTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRAME WAS FRACTURED.

I AM CONTACTING YOU REFER TO DODGE SERVICE BULLETIN 23-012-14. THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED INSPECTION. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT COVERS THE REPAIR EXPIRED . I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO ASK FOR COST ASSISTANCE IN COVERING THIS EXISTING PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP AND CORPORATION DENIED MY CLAIM. CASE ID 33139538. I THINK IT'S REASONABLE FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE IN KEEPING THE CAR ROAD WORTHY. THE VEHICLE HAS 161K, THE LACK OF REPAIR WOULD MAKE THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE INEVITABLY ENDING THE USEFUL EXISTENCE OF IT.

WHILE IN MOTION THE VEHICLES WIPER MOTOR STOPPED WORKING. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS HAD FAILED AND SEVERAL ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS HAD MELTED AWAY THEIR PROTECTIVE COATING CAUSING SEVERAL SYSTEMS TO SHORT OUT AND STOP WORKING. THIS ALSO CAUSED THE WIPER MOTOR TO PREMATURELY FAIL. WIPER MOTOR WAS REPLACED HOPING THAT IT WOULD STILL WORK AFTER THE EXPOSED WIRING WAS CUT BACK AND NEW WIRING WAS SPLICED IN. HOWEVER THE WIRING HARNESS CONTINUED TO WEAR DOWN AND THE WIPER MOTOR ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT HAS COMPLETELY SHORTED OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (DESERT SUN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE, 1309 S MAIN ST, ROSWELL, NM 88203) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.
