DODGE Complaints

TAKATA RECALL: MY 18 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN A CAR CRASH AND SUFFERED FROM TBI. HE WAS UNPLUGGED FROM LIFE SUPPORT 8 HOURS LATER. NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO HELP HIM. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITH GREAT FORCE AND CAUSED TBI. HE HAD UNCONTROLLABLE BLEEDING FROM BOTH EARS AND MASSIVE BLEEDING ON THE BRAIN. WE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON HIS CAR UNTIL TWO MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. *TT UPDATED 9/13/18*JB

PLEASE HAVE YOUR VIN READY WHEN CALLING.NHTSA. YOU CAN PROVE THE REPAIRS WERE MADE.) HOWEVER, IF THE COURT ULTIMATELY RULES THE DEFECT IS NOT SAFETY-RELATED, FEDERAL LAW DOES NOT REQUIRE THAT THE MANUFACTURER REIMBURSE YOU FOR THE REPAIR WORKCHAPTER 301 OF TITLE 49 OF THE UNITED STATES CODE (U.S.C.) REQUIRES A MANUFACTURER OF MOTOR VEHICLES OR ITEMS OF MOTOR VEHICLE EQUIPMENT THAT CONTAIN A DEFECT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHOUT CHARGE.

MY STEERING IS BAD I HAVE LITTLE CONTROL OVER VEHICLE AT HIGH SPEEDS I THINK IT'S IN THE WHEEL ITSELF OR MAYBE AIRBAGS?. REPLACED BRAKE PARTS FRONT AND BACK AND STILL PROBLEMS WITH TRYING TO STOP BUT SKID .HUB REPLACED AND ITS BETTER. HEAD LIGHTS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY

LIGHTING SOCKETS AND OTHER ELECTRICAL PARTS ARE MELTING AND SMOKING CAUSING EVERYTHING NOT WORK. CURRENTLY NOT WORKING AFTER BEING REPLACE IN WITHIN THE LAST 3 MONTHS: HEADLIGHTS, REVERSE LIGHTS, PARKING SENSORS (4), HEATED SEATS, RANDOMLY THE NAVIGATION/MUSIC SYSTEM, UNLOCKING/LOCKING WITH KEY FOB (RANDOMLY), ABS SENSORS, 4 WHEEL DRIVE BEING TURNED OFF AND ON, THE PARKING BRAKE RANDOMLY TURNING OFF AND ON. I WILL BE DRIVING AND THINGS WILL SLOWING START TO NOT WORK. SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS DON'T WORK WHEN I GO TO LEAVE IN THE EARLY MORNING AND I HAVE TO TAKE A DIFFERENT VEHICLE SINCE YOU CANNOT LEGALLY DRIVE WITHOUT WORKING LIGHTS IN THE DARK. MULTIPLE CAR REPAIR SHOPS HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS THINGS TO FIX IT. WE HAVE SPENT UNDER 4K IN REPAIRS ON A TRUCK WE HAVE OWNED LESS THAN A YEAR, AND WE ARE NOW BEING TOLD WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND 1K PLUS LABOR COSTS TO REPLACE THE TIPM AND ANOTHER COUPLE HUNDRED TO BRING IT TO A DEALERSHIP AFTER AND HAVE IT "REFLASHED"

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STEVE LANDERS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (401 COLONEL GLENN PLAZA LOOP, LITTLE ROCK, AR 72210 (501) 374-4848), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL AWAITING INSPECTION AT THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE ALLOWED 4-6 WEEKS TO PROCESS THE CLAIM AND HAVE AN ENGINEER DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

DEATH WOBBLE 11/28/17 YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT THE DEATH WOBBLE IS. UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING OF THE FRONT END MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STOP AND STEER TRUCK.

THE SMART WINDOW CYCLING UP AND DOWN WHILE NOT RUNNING . THIS IS RUNNING MY BATTERY DOWN

WHILE DRIVING A HUGE CRACKING NOISE CREATED A VERY LARGE HOLE IN THE FRONT DASH JUST UNDER THE WINDSHIELD. PIECES OF THIS FLEW OUT INTO THE CAB CREATING A DRIVING HAZARD. PIECES CONTINUE TO BREAK OFF AS I NOW HAVE A HUGE HOLE THAT I HAVE NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA HOW TO REPAIR. THE DASH MATERIAL MUST BE DEFECTIVE AS I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY OTHER CARS/TRUCKS WITH THIS PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2008 DODGE CHARGER 5.7 HEMI AND THE VALVE SEAT DROPPED AND CAUSE MY PISTON TO GET CHEWED UP WHICH NOW IT NEEDS A NEW MOTOR AND I DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR IT SO I HAD TOO SELL THE CAR
