DODGE Complaints

MY SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY SUV AND MY CAR STARTED JERKING UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE IN TRAFFIC, AS IF IT WERE CHANGING OR SHIFTING GEARS, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO DODGE, I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE FOR C1404, NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND THAT THE PART ALONE WOULD COST $1200.00. I AM READING MANY ARTICLES ABOUT ISSUES WITH THE 4WD IN THIS MAKE, MODEL, OF VEHICLE AND WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS AND IF NOT THERE SHOULD BE, BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE (IF NOT ALREADY)

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY LOSES ALL POWER AND DIES WITH NO REAL WARNING. IT HAS DIED ON THE FREEWAY NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THE VEHICLE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OVER 70 MILES AN HOUR, ON SIDE STREETS GOING UNDER 30, WHILE STOPPED AT RED LIGHTS, WHILE PLACED IN PARKED IN PARKING LOTS, AND ONCE WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS DISPLAYED AND DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. WHEN IT DIES ON THE FREEWAY I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SAFELY PULL OVER SO THAT I CAN PUT IT INTO PARK AND RESTART IT. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, AS I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED LAST TIME IT DIED.

CAR BLOWING COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. TOOK TO DODGE DEALER. WAS TOLD THE HEATER CORE WAS BLOCKED, I NEEDED A NEW HEATER CORE AND FLUSHING WOULD NOT HELP. WAS TOLD NOTHING I DID WRONG NOR COULD I HAVE PREVENTED IT. ONLY TAKE MY VEHICLE TO DODGE DEALERS FOR ALL WORK. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IT WAS NOT COVERED. WAS TOLD IT WAS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. CHRYSLER REQUIRES FLUSHING AT 104,000 MILE, I HAVE 67K MILES. I HAD THE WORK DONE. PAID $1075.00. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, FOUND OUT THAT THE HEATER CORE IN THE DODGE AVENGERS GOES BACK REGULARLY. MANY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. CONTACTED CHRYSLER, SAID I WAS OVER MY CHRYSLER WARRANTY. NOTHING THEY COULD DO.

INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN INTO THE DEALER UPON NOTICE OF THE RECALL FOR TEKATA TK HOLDINGS AIR BAGS. THE REPAIRS WERE MADE. INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED IN THIS ACCIDENT,BUT COULD HAVE BEEN MINIMIZED IF OUR AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE OTHER DRIVER RAN A RED LIGHT AT A HIGH SPEED DRIVING A 2007 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER. HER AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY JUST FINE. I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AT THE INTERSECTION OF LAYTON PARKWAY AND MAIN STREET IN LAYTON, UTAH HAVING A GREEN ARROW AND THE RIGHT OF WAY PROCEEDED UPON VISUALIZING THE INTERSECTION FOR ALL TRAFFIC TO HAVE STOPPED, THIS OTHER DRIVER CAME OFF THE INTERSTATE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED BLOWING THROUGH THE RED LIGHT AND HITTING US HEAD ON. THE IMPACT COMPLETELY LIFTED MY TRUCK UP AND SPUN IT AROUND A FULL 180 DEGREES POINTING IT IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. MY RATE OF SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE IMPACT WAS ONLY 5-10 MPH

DEALER AND OR THE MANUFACTURE DO NOT APPEAR TO BE PROVIDING PART(S) TO COMPLY WITH THE T36 RECALL (ALTERNATOR DEFECT). A MORE THAN REASONABLE TIME HAS PAST SINCE NOTIFICATION WAS MADE TO ME BY US MAIL OF THE ALTERNATOR DEFECT FOR THE DEALER TO ACQUIRE PARTS AND MAKE REPAIRS.

THE PASSENGER SIDE TIE ROD FELL APART. THE BALL SEPARATED FROM THE BODY OF THE TIE ROD. THIS HAPPENED AT LOW SPEED AS I WAS VEERING TO THE RIGHT, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF STEERING. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS THAT THIS WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN EQUIPPED WITH UNIROYAL TIRES, SIZE: 225/65R16 (NA). WHILE DRIVING, THE TIRE SENSOR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND, UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS FLAT. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE FLAT TIRE WITH THE SPARE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO OURISMAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (12430 AUTO DR, CLARKSVILLE, MD 21029 (301) 596-9990) WHERE THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM AND A TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAILURE IN THE REAR. ALSO, THE NUT VALVE STINT WAS CORRODED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED FIVE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,725.

THE IGNITION IS THE CAR IS ON RECALL ON OTHER VEHICLE SAME YEAR AND MAKE /MODEL AND I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WHERE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH ON THIS CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE POWER SAVER MODE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE RADIO TURNED OFF. A PHOTO OF A BATTERY WAS SHOWN ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT HAD TO WALK AWAY WITH THE KEY FOB UNTIL THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER (CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM SURPRISE, 13165 N AUTOSHOW AVE, SURPRISE, AZ 85388) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY $1,000 FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

THIS CAR HAS JUST A LITTLE OVER 33145 MILES AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE ROTORS ON THE BACK HAVE RUSTED SO BAD THAT THEY WORE OUT THE BACK BRACKS AND CANNOT BE TURNED DOWN THEY HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I HAD MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THIS CAR LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AGO AND MY CAR WAS INSPECTED IN AUGUST BY A DODGE DEALER AND THEN I TOOK IT BACK ON 8/28/17 BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON THEY SAID THE BRAKES WERE FINE I HAVE IT ON THE INVOICE FRONT BRAKES 10/32 80% AND 7/32 60% BUT THEY SAID THEY WERE FINE THERE NO WAY THAT RUSTED IN 2 MONTHS TO THAT POINT. I WILL HAVE MIDAS TAKE A PICTURE OF THOSE ROTORS WHEN THEY FIX MY CAR TOMORROW $600.00 FOR CAR REPAIRS THIS WEEK ALONE. DODGE NEED TO PAY FOR MY ROTORS AND LABOR AND THEY ARE REFUSING BECAUSE I WILL NOT TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. I WILL NOT HAVE MINE OR MY FAMILIES LIVES RISKED AGAIN. I AM DONE WITH DODGE TWO BRAND NEW DODGE JOURNEYS IN 4 YEARS AND MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES, LOW HEADLIGHT BEAMS AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES NOT TO MENTION 2 RECALLS. I JUST FOUND OUT TODAY ALL THIS
