DODGE Complaints

CAR STALLED WHILE TURNING A CORNER. IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT SOUNDS LIKE RECALL NO.L02.

START CAR AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A MESSAGE SAYS NO GEAR AVAILABLE SHIFT TO NEUTRAL THEN REVERSE OR DRIVE. CAR WON'T GO INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE.

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT REGARDING DASH BOARD. THE DASH STARTED CRACKING WITH JUST 30,000 MILES ON TRUCK, WHEN I PUT IN COMPLIANT TO NHTSA. NOW 109,000 THE ELECTRICAL, AIR BAGS, COMPUTER HARNESS WIRING ARE EXPOSED WITH A INTERMITTENT STALLING AND A GUESSING GAME FROM AUTHORIZED DODGE DEALERS AS TO WHAT MIGHT BE THE ISSUES. "UNDETERMINED ELECTRICAL SHORTS FROM CRACKED DASH A POSSIBILITY" "ABS SERVICE LIGHT STAYS ON, ALSO "UNDETERMINED BY DEALER", "CAN'T TRACK CODE" "DON'T DRIVE AS AIRBAG MIGHT DEPLOY BECAUSE DASH HAS DASH DEBRIS FROM CRACKS" PLUS HEARING "REFUSE TO SERVICE UNLESS REPLACE THE DASHBOARD" ALL THESE QUOTES WHEN TRYING TO TAKE TO GET THE TRUCK FIXED. MAIN COMPUTER HARNESS INTERMITTENT "NO BUS" CAN'T FIND SHORTS! STALLS OUT ON FREEWAY. THE GLOVE BOX EVEN HANGS ON ONLY ONE SIDE. UNSAFE IF AIRBAGS DEPLOY. SPLINTERING OF REMAINS CHARDS OF FAULTY DASHBOARD PLASTIC, STALL ON FAST LANE OF 14 FREEWAY IN CA HAD TO COAST TO RIGHT SIDE WITH NO POWER STEERING LUCKY THE BRAKES WORKED AND THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. SHORT IN WIRE DUE TO EXPOSED DASH BOARD.

I OWN A 2011 DODGE AVENGER...WHICH HAS NO HEAT. IT STARTED WITH COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW THERE IS NO HEAT AT ALL, AND LIVING WHERE ITS 20 BELOW, IT ISN'T FUN DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING. I HAVE REPLACED THE TEMP SENSORS, CONTROL KNOBS, ACTUATOR, HAVE FLUSHED THE RADIATOR 3X HAVE FLUSHED THE HEATER CORE 3X. EACH FLUSHING PRODUCED SAND. I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD OF HAD TO PAY FOR THIS AS IT IS THE FAULT OF DODGE!! I HAVE NEVER OWNED ANYTHING BUT A DODGE BUT THIS ISSUE IS MAKING THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT DODGE. U WOULD THINK THAT DODGE WOULD TAKE CARE OF THERE CUSTOMERS....I THINK DODGE SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THIS. IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE I'M CHANGING I BELIEVE. SAD SAD SAD!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS, THE PASSENGER SIDE DEFROSTER FAILED TO OPERATE. ALSO, THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DODGE COUNTRY AT (888) 676-8389 (1902 E CENTRAL TEXAS EXPY, KILLEEN, TX 76541) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER CORE AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH EVERYTHING ELECTRICALLY RELATED TO THE TRUCK. TRUCK STALLS N THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING, WON'T START UP AT ALL ON SOME OCCASIONS OTHERS ITS FINE. ONCE THE TRUCK STARTS, ALL OF THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. (CHECK ENGINE, ABS, LOW WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID, VOLTAGE, LOW OIL PRESSURE, ETC) THE TRUCK IS NOT SAFE AND NOW SITS IN THE DRIVE WAY! ACCORDING TO DODGES OWN WEBSITE: "WE'RE COMMITTED TO YOUR SAFETY FCA US LLC REGARDS THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF OUR CUSTOMERS AND THEIR FAMILIES AS PARAMOUNT AND IS FULLY COMMITTED TO PRODUCING A VEHICLE WITH LONG-LASTING RELIABILITY. YOUR CONFIDENCE IN OUR PRODUCTS AND OUR SERVICE IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO US.

WELL RIGHT NOW FOR MANY DODGE OWNERS YOUR CARS ARE NOT SAFE, RELIABLE OR LONG LASTING!

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2016. SINCE I GOT IT THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TURN ON THE HEAT OR AC. IT STOPS AFTER ABOUT MAX 30 SECONDS. THIS WINTER THOUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE NOW ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR OUT OF EVERY SETTING YOU CAN USE. THE DRIVER SIDE IS HOT AIR. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN A COMPLAINT FOR MANY PEOPLE. MY CAR WILL NOT GET WARM AT ALL DUE TO HALF OF THE CAR BLOWING COLD AIR.
