DODGE Complaints

ON NOVEMBER 3RD MY CAR OVER HEATED. I HAVE TO GET IT TOWED AWAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. SAME DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM. AFTER THEY DIAGNOSED MY CAR THEY SAID THE HOSE BROKE AND OVER HEATING MELTED MY SENSORS. THEY ASKED ME $773.55 FOR REPAIRING. ON GOOD FAITH I TOOK MY CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP. JUST AFTER 2 WEEKS, A DAY BEFORE THANKS GIVING MY CAR OVER HEATED AGAIN. AGAIN I HAVE TO GET IT TOWED AWAY AGAIN TO THE DEALER SHIP. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR MORE THAN 12 DAYS. AT FIRST THEY ARE SAYING THAT MY GAS KIT BLEW AND THEN LATER THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO REPLACE MY ENGINE. MY CONCERN HERE IS THAT WHY WAS IT NOT DONE ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. I BORROWED MONEY AGAINST MY 401K PLAN AND I CANT TAKE ANOTHER LOAN TO GET IT FIXED. MY WIFE IS STAGE 3 CANCER PATIENT. WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY. I BELIEVE RENTON CAR PROS DODGE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED IT ON THE VERY FIRST TIME. THEY ACTUALLY SOLD ME A DEFECTIVE CAR. WHICH CAR REALLY BREAKS DOWN WITHIN 4 YEARS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THEN HEARD A LOUD THUMP AND THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL IS PUSHED OUT AND IT NO LONGER ENGAGES

WAS DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT WHEN RANDOMLY MY LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, HORN STARTED BLARING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING OFF, WASHER FLUID WAS SPRAYING EVERYWHERE. LOCKS WERE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. I ENDED UP DRIVING INTO SOMEONE'S LAWN AS I COULD NOT SEE PROPERLY WITH POOR LIGHTING AND ALL THE DISTRACTIONS. ONCE I GOT HOME THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO BE POSSESSED EVEN WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET EVERYTHING TO STOP AFTER UNPLUGGING THE BATTERY. UPON INTERNET RESEARCH IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG TO REALIZE IT WAS TIPM FUSE BOX ISSUE, I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME BOX HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I HAVE GONE TO THE JUNKYARD 3 TIMES AND GRABBED A USED TIPM FUSE BOX REPLACEMENT. THE FIRST REPLACEMENT THE CAR WOULD NOT START. SECOND REPLACEMENT THERE WAS A LOT OF TROUBLE LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND THE ODOMETER DID NOT WORK. WITH MY MOST RECENT REPLACEMENT THE HEADLIGHTS DON'T WORK. SO INCLUDING MY ORIGINAL TIPM , THAT'S 4 FAULTY TIPMS. DO YOU NOTICE A PROBLEM OR PATTERN HERE?

HELLO, IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN, WHETHER I FILL IT UP OR NOT, WEATHER I TOP IT OFF OR NOT, THE ENGINE WILL RUN ERRATICALLY, OFTEN STALLING MULTIPLE TIMES FOR NO REASON. IT HAS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY, AT HIGHWAY SPEED, AT ANY OTHER SPEEDS, AND GOING THROUGH TURNS, NEEDLESS TO SAY, WITH NO ENGINE I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. I HAVE THE STRENGTH TO KEEP THE CAR UNDER CONTROL, BUT A LESS EXPERIENCED OR LESS STRONG DRIVER MAY LOOSE CONTROL, POSSIBLY WITH SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR A FEW HOURS, IT WILL USUALLY RUN OK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER.

TAKATA RECALL, VEHICLE START CRANKIN W/O THE KEY ON THE IGNITION, WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STALLS, GAS SMELLS AND WASTE A TON OF FUEL. I HAVE BEEN TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALER SHOP AND THEY SAY THAT THEIRS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ALL ELECTRICAL THINGS GOES CRAZY SOMETIMES.

COMPLETE AND SUDDEN LOSS OF BOTH HEADLIGHTS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. DEALER, IN DISCUSSION WITH FCA HQ, SUGGESTS CAUSE IS RELATED TO FRONT TURN SIGNAL ELECTRONICS ASSOCIATED WITH A SINGLE FRONT TURN INDICATOR, WHICH OTHERWISE FUNCTIONS NORMALLY. AT THIS TIME DODGE HAS NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE AND THE CAR IS DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE BY THE DEALERSHIP. OWNER HAS CONTACTED FCA TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF TOTAL UNWARNED HEADLIGHT LOSS - WHICH IS INTERMITTANT - AS A SAFETY ISSUE. LIGHTS OTHERWISE STILL WORK AND COME BACK ON BY THEMSELVES AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, SUGGESTING PROBLEM WITH BODY CONTROL UNIT FUNCTION OR FAILSAFE DESIGN

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHILE CONDUCTING A U-TURN ON BOULDER HIGHWAY AND THE CAR SHUT OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO SEE THAT MY CAR WAS STOPPED AND AVOIDED HITTING MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS STOPPED BETWEEN TWO LANES. AFTER A FEW MIN I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO RESTART.

HEATER BLOWING COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. DEALERSHIP STATES HEATER CORE IS PLUGGED UP AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. RECALL SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED.

VEHICLE WAS BEING FILLED WHEN AT GASOLINE STARTING POURING FROM IN FRONT OF THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. THE PROBLEM CEASED WHEN THE FUEL TANK LEVEL REACHED 3/4. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO THE FUEL FILLER NECK BECOMING SEPARATED AND THE FAILURE OF THE CLAMPS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL FILLER TUBE P/N 68243686AG.

PLASTIC DASH I'D FALLING APART STUFF FALLING OFF SHARP OBJECTS NOT SO SURE DASH ISN'T GOING TO FALL DOWN AROUND MY FEET AND KEEP ME FROM BRAKING AS NEEDED
