DODGE Complaints

THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS THAT CONTROL WHERE THE HEATING OR COOLING IS DIRECTED, OR DETERMINING HOT OR COLD, ARE FAULTY AND FAIL AT NO PARTICULAR TIME. THIS CAN CAUSE NO HEAT TO DEFROST WINDOWS WHICH ULTIMATELY WILL LEAD TO VEHICLE ACCIDENTS. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP I SPOKE TO ABOUT THE ISSUE LAUGHED AT ME AND COMMENTED THAT THEY FIX AT LEAST 2 TRUCKS PER WEEK WITH THIS ISSUE, COSTING APPROXIMATELY $1000. THE PART TO FIX THE ISSUE COST UNDER $20 EACH, BUT THE ENTIRE DASH MUST BE PULLED OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS. IF YOU RESEARCH THIS ISSUE, LIKE I HAVE, YOU WILL SEE THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE ABOUT 1996. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE AND I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL SOMEONE HOLDS CHRYSLER RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENED TO ME, I WAS DRIVING IN THE SIERRA NEVADA MOUNTAINS IN A SNOW STORM AND COULD NOT SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD, BUT MY FEET WERE REAL TOASTY. NOT A LOT OF HELP WHEN YOUR WINDSHIELD IS COVERED IN SNOW AND ICE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.

OIL LEAK ON FRONT OF ENGINE. CRANK SEAL PROBLEMS. THIS IS VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE ENGINES.LEAKS OIL EVERY TIME YOU START IT AND IT WARMS UP.

WITHIN ABOUT THE LAST 6 WEEKS MY SUV HAS BEEN STALLING WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AREAS WHICH IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS & I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE I HAVE CONTACTED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM & THEY ARE DOING THE BARE MINIMUM TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE!!!! KNOWING MY VEHICLE HAS ACTIVE RECALLS!!!

REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS NOISY AFTER BEING REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES. VEHICLE HAS 73,000 MILES.

MY TRUCK WILL NOT CRANK SOMETIMEA. I PUT A NEW STARTER AND NEW BATTERY ON IT AND IT WORKS FOR A WHILE AND THEN STOPS. ONE TIME THE FUEL PUMP RAN WITH THE TRUCK TURNED OFF MY SERVICE MAN SAYS IT'S THE COMPUTER BOX AND THIS MORNING IT WOULD NOT CRANK AT ALL. THIS PART IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND HARD TO FIND, FROM WHAT I'VE READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL.

MY DASH PANEL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER MODELS OF MY YEAR BUT MY VIN WAS INCLUDED. THIS NEEDS TO BEE LOOKED AT.

MY TIMING CHAIN AND PULLEY BROKE WHILE ON TTHE FREEWAY CAUSING LOSS OF POWER AND STALL.

ABOUT 3 YEARS AFTER BUYING MY NEW DODGE TRUCK THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO FALL APART, BECOME BRITTLE. ITS CURRENTLY IN COMPLETE PIECES. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN MOTION AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN PROTECTED FROM THE SUN. I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF CASES JUST LIKE MINE. PICTURES WILL BE AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, TOOK TO GARAGE THEY SAID FUEL PUMP, STILL WOULD NOT WORK, TOOK BACK THEY SAID TIPM, HAD IT CHANGED, GOT VAN BACK NOW THE SIGNAL LIGHTS DON'T WORK TOOK BACK THEY TEST IT AND GUESS WHAT TIPM AGAIN, SO NOW AFTER NEARLY 3000 IN REPAIRS AND 800 IN RENTALS I AM WAITING ANOTHER WEEK FOR ANOTHER TIPM NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT IS FAR TO COMMON AND SHOULD BE MADE A FULL RECALL, I KNOW OF FOUR FAILURES IN THE LAST WEEK IN MY LITTLE AREA ALONE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, THIS PROBLEM CAN AFFECT ANY COMPONENT OF THE VEHICLE FROM BRAKES TO AIR BAGS TO ANYTHING THAT IS RUN BY A FUSE WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING, SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS IF THERE HASN'T BEEN ALREADY.

I JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH, KNOWING OTHER DODGE JOURNEYS HAD A RECALL, BUT OF COURSE NOT MINE, YET THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY SPECIFIC MODEL I HAVE NO CLUE WHY THEY WERE NOT RECALLED! TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY THIS MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE ISSUES I'M HAVING. MY AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY AND OFTEN LEAVING MY CAR AND FAMILY VULNERABLE. MY ETC AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALONG WITH MY ENGINE LIGHT COME ON RANDOMLY AND THROW MY CAR INTO LIMP MODE WHILE IM ON THE HIGHWAY WITH KIDS IN THE CAR. THE LIGHTS CLEAR THEMSELVES OUT WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF THEN ON... SO IT HAS BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO DIAGNOSE BUT HAS MADE ME SUSCEPTIBLE TO BREAK DOWNS AND NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES. THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES IN THIS CAR HAVE BEEN MANY AND QUITE EXPENSIVE...THE LATEST BILL WAS $750 & MOST LIKELY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE PRODUCT. THOS IS AN UNRELIABLE VEHICLE THAT IS QUITE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE!
