DODGE Complaints

WHEN FILLING UP MY VEHICLE THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, IT WILL SHUDDER AND THEN DIE ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL GO ON I WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT ONLY DOES IT WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK AND IF I AM STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR GOING UNDER 45MPH AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. IF IM GOING 60+ MILES IT WILL SPUTTER ACT LIKE IT IS GOING TO DIE BUT IT DOESN'T.

PASSENGER SIDE FACTORY INSTALLED "DODGE" STEP BAR FELL OFF THE TRUCK AS MY 90LBS. DAUGHTER STEPPED IN. AS HER & THE STEP BAR WENT CRASHING TO THE GROUND SHE BANGED HER ELBOW REALLY HARD ON THE DOOR LATCH STRIKER. COMPONENT IS HELD TO THE INNER ROCKER PANEL OF THE TRUCKS CAB WITH 6 EXPANDING RIVET NUTS THAT HAVE VERY LITTLE SURFACE CONTACT AREA. IT APPEARS THAT THE STEEL OF THE INNER ROCKER HAS FATIGUED OVER TIME & CRACKED. THE CRACKS ALLOWED THE METAL TO CONICALLY DEFORM TO THE POINT WHERE THE RIVET NUTS WERE ABLE TO POP OUT OF THE BODY. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF IT HAD BEEN AN ELDERLY PERSON ON THE STEP BAR INSTEAD OF A RESILIENT MIDDLE SCHOOL YOUNGSTER.

ISSUES WITH STARTING CAR, ERRATIC DASHBOARD LIGHTS, AND FLICKERING POWER DROPS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS IS RELATED TO THE IGNITION KEY AND THE IGNITION SWITCH (WIN MODULE) IT'S INSERTED TO. WHEN THE CAR WON'T START YOU HAVE TO MOVE THE KEY AROUND IN THE IGNITION SWITCH TO GET IT TO FINALLY START THE CAR. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON A FEW OCCASIONS AND HAD THEM LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM. MOST OF THE TIME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. ON ONE OCCASION THEY CHANGED OUT THE BATTERY. THAT DID NOT HELP. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED RARELY BACK WHEN THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES ON IT. NOW IT HAS 140,000, AND HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN. I'M WORRIED IT MIGHT SHUT OFF DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING MY WIFE, CHILD, AND ANYONE ELSE AROUND THE VEHICLE. I'M ALSO WORRIED, ESPECIALLY LATE AT NIGHT AT HER JOBS PARKING LOT, IT WILL LEAVE HER STRANDED DUE TO THE CAR NOT STARTING.

A FEW WEEKS AGO I WAS TURNING AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHEN MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WENT ON. THE CAR LOST POWER BUT AFTER I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PETAL THE LIGHT TURNED OFF AND I GOT POWER BACK TO THE CAR. TOOK IT TO GET THE COMPUTER ON BUT NO CODES CAME BACK. TONIGHT I WAS MERGING INTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN ETC THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE ABS LIGHTS CAME ON. THE CAR LOST POWER AND I COULDN'T GO FASTER THEN 50MPH. I GOT BACK TO THE HOUSE TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON AND NO LIGHTS ARE ON. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. IF THE LIGHTS AREN'T ON THE COMPUTER WON'T PICK UP ANY ERROR CODES. ALSO MY CAR ALREADY HAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS. IS THIS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM?

I WAS INVOLVED IN A 3 CAR COLLISION ON A CITY HIGHWAY. MY VEHICLE WAS IMPACTED PRETTY BADLY AND SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED BUT DID NOT! I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ABOUT A MONTH AGO DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION.

RACK AND PINION LEAKING SUDDENLY. FUEL PUMP RELAY WENT OUT AGAIN. WHILE DRIVING ON FOUR LANE.

SOMETIME WHEN I DRIVE 40 MPH THE FRONT HAS VIBRATION AND GO AWAY WHEN I GO ABOVE 40 OR LET OFF THE GAS STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AGO

THE TRUCK TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. DUE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH. LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD DURING NIGHT OR DAY. SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD CAUSE A SHORT. MY TRUCK ISN'T THE ONLY ONE THAT DOES IT I SPOKE TO OTHER DODGE OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM
