DODGE Complaints

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE RAM 2500 POWER WAGON WITH ONLY 131K MILES . AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY HOME FROM WORK AT AROUND 60 MPH MY WHOLE FRONT END STARTED TO SHAKE LIKE CRAZY AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK . I HAD TO STOP AND PULL OFF THE ROAD . LOOKING UNDER THE TRUCK I DO NOT SEE ANYTHING THAT LOOKS BROKEN OR DAMAGED. SO I WENT ONLINE AND ALOT OF PEOPLE ONLINE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS I DID . I WAS TOLD THEY ARE OPEN RECALLS FOR FRONT END PARTS GOING BAD ON MY TRUCK YEAR MODEL . I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER THE SERVICE TECH WAS HAPPY TO HELP UNTIL I SAID RECALL ISSUES ON THE FRONT END ON THE TRUCK THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HIS DATA BASE SYSTEM WENT DOWN SO HE WILL HAVE TO CALL ME BACK . ALL I NEED IS JUST A ANSWER ON IF THERE IS A OPEN RECALLL SO THAT I CAN HAVE IT REPAIRED . RIGHT NOW I AM SCARED TO MOVE MY TRUCK .

TAKATA RECALL. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THIS RECALL FIXED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS REPAIRED. THEN I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE AND WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THEY HAD THE PARTS. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED AND MOVED BUT STILL HAVE THE SAME NUMBER. NOW I RECEIVE ALL THIS INFORMATION ABOUT THE DANGER AND THIS VEHICLE IS MY WIFE AND CHILDREN'S PRIMARY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. I FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY AFTER WATCHING THE VIDEO. ALSO DURING THE SAME TIME FRAME OF THIS RECALL, MY ELECTRONICS ON THE VEHICLE BEGAN ACTING ERRATICALLY. THEY STILL DO OCCASIONALLY BUT WE HAVE TO DRIVE IT NONETHELESS. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WILL GO DEAD WITH NO LIGHTS OR GAUGES WORKING, THE A.C. WILL BLOW HEAT ONLY OR STOP, THE ALARM GOES OFF ON ITS ON, ETC. ALL THIS WHILE IT IS STILL RUNNING AND DRIVABLE BUT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FAST! RIGHT NOW IT'S ACTING SOMEWHAT NORMAL. I REALLY FEEL I WAS WRONGED IN BUYING THIS VEHICLE! THE DATE I LISTED WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THAT UP TO LAST MONTH.

THE IGNITION SWITCH IS LOOSE AND HAVE A HARD TIME STARTING VEHICLE. WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY SOME TIMES THE TRUCK WILL NOT TURN ON POWER. IF YOU MOVE THE KEY THE VEHICLE WILL THEN BE ABLE TO START. ONCE YOU LET THE KEY GO SOME TIMES IT WILL SHUT OFF AGAIN AND SOME TIMES IT WILL STAY RUNNING. IT WILL ONLY STAY RUNNING UNTIL YOU HIT A BUMP, ONCE YOU HIT A BUMP THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF. LOOSING ALL POWER, LIGHTS, AND ASSISTED BRAKING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE STATIONARY AND MOVING.

DURANGO SLT 5.7L V8 HEMI ENGINE HYDRO LOCKED AND THREW A ROD WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE HYDRO LOCK ISSUE IS WIDELY REPORTED WITH THE 2004 FIRST GENERATION OF THE HEMI ENGINE. HOWEVER, DODGE DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SAFETY ISSUE.

THE HARNESS ON THE CAR IS DEFECTED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF ON THE CAR.

TAKATA RECALL WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY STREETS THE OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY STARTED LEAKING OIL ALL THE WAY FROM THE TOP WHERE ITS LOCATED TO THE TRANSMISSION AND EXHAUST PIPES CAUSING A LOT OF SMOKE COME OUT BECAUSE THE OIL BURNIG HAD TO STOP VERY QUICKLY THINKING THE CAR WAS GETTING ON FIRE. AT FIRST DID NOT KNOW WHERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM AFTER INSPECTING I NOTICED IT WAS COMING OUT WHERE THE OIL COOLER ASSAMBLY IS.

160/180 AMP ALTERNATORS RECALL T36 HAS BEEN OUT FOR 6 MONTHS AND THERE IS STILL NO UPDATE FROM FCA OR DEALERS ON WHEN PARTS WILL ARRIVE. WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP FOR SOMETHING THAT CAN RESULT IN MY CAR AND 1.3 MILLION OTHERS FROM POSSIBLY CATCHING FIRE OR LOSING POWER AS THE RECALL SAYS. I'M JUST LOOKING FOR AN UPDATE. MAHALO

TAKATA INFLATORS NO REMEDY/REPLACEMENT FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. HAVE CALLED DEALER 3 TIMES SINCE RECEIVING RECALL NOTICE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT CHRYSLER/DODGE DOES NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT.

NO MATTER WHERE WE ARE, WHETHER STATIONARY, OR IN MOTION, THE VEHICLE HAS AN OVERWHELMING SMELL OF GASOLINE AFTER WE HAVE FUELED UP THE CAR. TODAY, WE NOTICED GASOLINE LEAKING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE UNDERCARRIAGE. A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE INDICATES INNUMERABLE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, WITH CHRYSLER FAILING TO OFFER A REMEDY TO THIS SITUATION.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, SLOWING DOWN TO GET OFF THE EXIT, DOING APPROXIMATELY 40-45 MPH. I MY PASSENGER AND I HEARD SOME STRANGE NOISES IN THE REAR AND THEN SUDDENLY THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP, CAUSING THE TRUCK TO BOUNCE AROUND VIOLENTLY. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN DECEMBER OF 2016, THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED MID NOVEMBER 2017. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THE RECALL, AND FOLLOWED UP WITH SOME CALLS TO DEALERS. THIS ISSUE WAS SUPPOSEDLY RESOLVED IN MARCH 2016 IN PLYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN LEWISTOWN PENNSYLVANIA. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY SITTING AT A DEALERSHIP WHERE IT HAS BEEN SINCE DECEMBER 14, AND THEY TELL ME IT MIGHT NOT GET IN THE SHOP UNTIL AFTER THE NEW YEAR. I CONTACTED DODGE, THEY TELL ME THEY CAN NOT HELP ME UNTIL AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC. I AM REACHING OUT TO YOU IN THE EVENT THEY DENY MY CLAIM UNDER THE RECALL WARRANTY. THE SHOP MANAGER AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TELLS ME EVEN WITH A DIAGNOSIS HE CAN'T SAY FOR CERTAIN THE RECALL WAS REPAIRED PROPERLY OR NOT, WHICH WOULD LEAVE ME WITH A HUGE BILL FOR SOMETHING I BELIEVE IS THEIR FAULT FOR NOT USING PROPER PARTS OR NOT REPAIRING THE PART PROPERLY UNDER A RECALL WARRANTY.
