DODGE Complaints

SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER FAILED PRIOR TO ORC MODULE BEING REPLACED. SEAT BELT DOES NOT RETRACT OR FUNCTION AND PROVIDES NO RESTRAINT TO FRONT PASSENGER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD BUMP NOISE, PULLED FROM FRONT TO BACK, AND THEN DECELERATED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE, ENGINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, ABS, AND EKC WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,830.

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT IS VERY HESITANT TO GO, THEN IT WILL OVER REV AND THE RPMS WILL GO UP BUT IT WILL NOT GO ANY FASTER. IT WILL ONLY HAPPEN IT SECOND AND THIRD GEAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH IN THE SNOW, THE STEERING CAPABILITY WAS LOST AND THE FRONT WHEELS TURNED IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME WHERE HE DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT TIE ROD WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO VERIFY IF THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09E001000 (STEERING) BECAUSE THE COMPUTERS WERE DOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

FOR THE FOURTH TIME NOW I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING HOSE REPLACED!!!! AND OF COURSE, I AM AM BEING TOLD THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A FACTORY BLOCK HEATER INSTALLED SO IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED BY A COMPANY IN ALL MY LIFE!!!! EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IT HAS CAUSED A HUGE INCONVENIENCE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT A SCHOOL FUNSTION. STARTED IT, LET IT RUN FOR ABOUT 5 MIN AND WHEN I ACCELERATED TO LEAVE MY POWER STEERING WAS GONE. SECOND TIME, I WAS PARKED, WENT TO START IT AND WENT TO LEAVE. AGAIN, NO POWER STEERING. THIRD TIME I WAS PARKED IN A LOT FOR SHOPPING. I STARTED IT, WENT TO LEAVE AND NO POWER STEERING. THE FOURTH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I STARTED IT REMOTELY. WHEN I WENT TO BACK OUT OF THE GARAGE THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER NO LESS!!!! I WAS LEFT ONTHE SIDE OF ROAD WITH MY TWO KIDS LAST FRIDAY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE HERE IN MN WAS -20. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! ALL OF THESE OCCURRENCES HAVE HAPPENED INT HE DEAD OF WINTER. NOT TO MENTION THE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS I HAVE TO KEEP ON PAYING TO HAVE THIS FIXED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL, BUT I CAN'T BE COMPENSATED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE A BLOCK HEATER?. A BLOCK HEATER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POWER STEERING HOSES BLOWING OFF ON START UP IN WINTER. I REALLY NEED HELP AS I AM SINGLE MOM WITH TWO KIDS AND CONNOT AFFORD TO CONTINUE TAKING TIME OFF FROM WORK TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR THIS PROBLEM. ANY HELP OR INFORMATION YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE IS GREATYL APPRECIATED!!

I HAD SUSPENSION WORK COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE (INNER/OUTER TIE RODS, RACK AND PINION AND CONTROL ARMS REPLACED BY A SHOP) AFTER DRIVING BACK TO TEXAS I NOTICED BOTH FRONT TIRES WERE EXTREMELY WORN AND WAS CLOSE TO A BLOW OUT. I CONTACTED THE SHOP ABOUT IT AND THEY REFUSED TO WORK WITH ME. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ALIGNMENT APPEARED TO NOT HAVE BEEN DONE AND THAT THE SPECS WAS OFF THE CHARTS. THE MECHANIC CONTACTED THE SHOP THAT MADE THE INITIAL REPAIRS AND THEY DENIED NOT COMPLETING AN ALIGNMENT. I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR OVER 11 YEARS AND MY TIRES HAVE NEVER WORN THIS FAST AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN UNTIL THIS REPAIR SHOP DID THE SUSPENSION WORK ON MY VEHICLE. THE SHOP NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR UNSAFE MAINTENANCE PRACTICES. THEIR MAINTENANCE AND LACK OF SAFETY STANDARDS PUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IN JEOPARDY, AND THEY'RE STILL IN DENIAL OF ANY WRONG DOING NOR ARE THEY WILLING TO PROVIDE ME SPECS OF THE ALIGNMENT THEY SAID THEY DID. PHOTOS ARE ATTACHED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DAKOTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEATED SEAT OVERHEATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 56,000.

THE VEHICLE DIDN'T START IN THE MORNING WHEN SWITCH ON I HAVE TO CALL TO THE BODY SHOP AND THEY FOUND OUT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP THEY HAD TO CHANGE IT. I THING THAT FOR A CAR THAT IS ONLY 5 YEARS AND 71963 MILES IT IS TO SOON TO HAVE THAT KIND OF PROBLEMS .THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY ON A DRIVEWAY I DO HAVE A REPAIR INVOICE

SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING, MY VEHICLE JUST SHUTS OFF FOR NO REASON. IT SHUTS OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN THE HEATER OFF THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED ONCE WHILE IN MOTION AND ONCE WHILE STATIONARY.

TAKATA RECALL.....FUEL TANK IS LEAKING WHILE ON THE ROAD AND PARKED. ALSO BREAKS ARE FLOORING
