DODGE Complaints

THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) IS EITHER DEFECTIVE, OR DAMAGED FROM WEATHER EXPOSURE. SPARATIC POWER ISSUES ARE PRESENT CAUSING ODD THINGS TO GO WRONG, FROM THE BATTERY BEING DRAINED, TO BACKLIGHT FLICKERING ON THE DASH, TO UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTING TO LOCK VEHICLE TO ONLY HAVE IT UNLOCK AGAIN, TO ALSO UPON LOCKING, HAVING THE FRONT WINDOWS RANDOMLY GO DOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER (ANCIRA CHRYSLER, JEEP IN SAN ANTONIO, TX, 888-992-3393) PER AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER RECALL TO REPLACE THE SEAT COVERS ON THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER HEATED SEATS. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER COULD NOT BE RETRIEVED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER USED AN INCOMPATIBLE MATERIAL TO REPLACE THE SEAT COVERS , WHICH CAUSED THEM TO SHOW SIGNS OF WEAR. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE HEATED SEATS COULD BURN. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE NEW SEAT COVERS DID NOT FIT PROPERLY AND WERE REPLACED SEVEN TIMES TO GET THE RIGHT SIZE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,000.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH WAY SPEED OF 50MPH THE VECHILE WILL STALL TO 30 THEN 10MPH WHEN AT THE LIGHT THIS VECHILE TRANSMISSION LOOK LIKE IT STRUGGLING TO SHIFT TO 2 YEAR AND STALLS I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SAID THEY HAVE THE RECALLS THIS VECHILE ONLY HAS 65000M MILES ON IT AND I BROUGHT FROM THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP LAST YEAR CERTIFIED B PREPARED.

THE BRAKE LINE THAT RUNS ON THE FRAME RAIL FROM THE FRONT TO THE REAR HAD A BLOW OUT DIRECTLY BEHIND THE GAS TANK WHEN PRESSING THE BREAK PEDDLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN MY DRIVEWAY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 DODGE NEON. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE ENGINE REVVED AND INADVERTENTLY SHIFTED TO A LOWER GEAR. ALSO, THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME BUT, PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, WAS HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES FOR OVER A YEAR. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT A PLASTIC PIECE THAT SEPARATED THE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID FRACTURED AND ALLOWED COOLANT TO ENTER THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS; HOWEVER, THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 15 TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS BUT ONCE ON THE FREEWAY AND A FEW TIMES AT ABOUT 45 MPH, THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF -- ENGINE, POWER STEERING, BRAKES -- EVERYTHING. IT IS A MIRACLE IT HASN'T KILLED US YET. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE IT OR FIND ANY CODE THAT IS THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOT THE IGNITION RECALL AS WE HAVE HAD THAT FIXED. DURING MY RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL SENT A NOTICE ABOUT THE ALTERNATOR. IT WAS ON THE SECOND CARFAX I RECEIVED BUT NOT FROM THE ORIGINAL DEALER I GOT THE CAR. THEY NEVER REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR. SO I BOUGHT THE CAR WENT TO THE BANK AND I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS GOING TO BURN TO THE GROUND NOTHING BUT HEAVY SMOKE POURED FROM UNDER THE CAR AND UNDER THE HOOD. MY CAR WAS SITTING IN THE BANK OF AMERICA PARKING LOT.. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR BECAUSE THE DEALSHIP GAVE ME A BOGUS CARFAX TO BEGIN WITH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL AND BATTERY SAVER MODE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL SMOKE ODOR UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY DIAGNOSED AT OXENDALE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (920 E STATE ROUTE 89A, COTTONWOOD, AZ 86326, (928) 634-3656) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 32787206. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

WHEN WE FIST GOT THE VAN WE EXPERIENCED SOME ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES. THE DEALERSHIP WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE OF IT BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND WE WENT TO A RECOMMENDED MECHANIC. THEN THE FOLLOWING MONTHS WE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH THE MOTOR MOUNTS. ONCE AGAIN WE HAD TO REPLACE THEM AND THEN WE HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRONIC COMPUTER AND WE HAD TO RE-LEARN SOME OF THE ALREADY INSTALLED PROGRAMS. I WOULD LIKE FOR WHOEVER APPROVES THE RECALLS TO GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THE OTHER ISSUES BECAUSE FOR IT BEING A SIX YEAR OLD CAR IT DEFINITELY HAS MORE ISSUES THAN IT SHOULD.

NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS. CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 23 MPH. BECAME NON-DRIVABLE EVEN WHEN GAS PEDAL WAS ALL IN THE FLOOR. MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THROTTLE BODY CONTROL.
