DODGE Complaints

A FLUID LEAK WAS FOUND ON THE GARAGE FLOOR UNDER OUR VAN. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION IT TURNED OUT TO BE ENGINE OIL. WE TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AS IT IS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURE'S WARRANTY. THE DEALER MENTIONED THAT THE OIL "COOLER" OR ADAPTER WAS PROBABLY CRACKED FROM THE LAST OIL CHANGE. THIS PART IS WHAT HOLDS THE OIL FILTER. IT IS A PLASTIC PART THAT IS SUBJECT TO TORQUE WHEN THE CAP IS REMOVED AND REPLACED AFTER CHANGING THE OIL FILTER. THIS PART IS ENGINEERED TO FAIL AFTER SO MANY OIL CHANGES. ONCE IT FAILS, OIL IS FORCED UNDER PRESSURE ON TOP OF THE ENGINE, CAUSING A POTENTIAL FIRE RISK. THE DEALER WILL NOT COVER THIS UNDER MANUFACTURE'S WARRANTY SINCE THEY DID NOT PERFORM THE OIL CHANGE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND A RECALL OF THIS PART WITH REPLACEMENT USING A METAL REPLACEMENT SHOULD BE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT, NOT AFTER.

I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW 2014 FIRST PROBLEM BURNING SMELL THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON HYDROLIC MODULE WENT OUT AN HAD TO BE CHANGED SOME HOW THE BRAKES SO CALLED NEEDED BLEEDED UPON LEAVING THE RALPH SELLERS DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT THE CAR BRAKES HAD TO BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR JUST TO STOP MAKING THE CAR NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN ADDITION TO BRINGING IT BACK IT WAS PLACED UNDER FIRST RECALL P 90 MISSING DAYS OF WORK TO RESCHEDULE TO GET IT FIXED THE PARTS WAS NEVER THERE I TRIED LEAVING THE CAR TO GET FIXED WAS SENT TO ENTERPRISE RENTAL FOR A REPLACEMENT CAR THAT I NEVER GOT WENT BACK THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE AIRBAG RECALL I COULDNT BE WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION I WENT TO PICK THE CAR UP AN IT DROVE WORTER THAN BEFORE I BROUGHT IT IN TO BE FIXED ON OR ABOUT 1-22-2015 I HAD A WRECK TOTALING THE CAR DUE TO THE BRACKES GOING OUT AN INJURIES DUE TO THE AIRBAG SYSTEM I WAS BROUGHT TO THE HOSPITAL AN HAD TO LEAVE CAUSE OF POOR SERVICES AT THE BATON ZROUGE GENERAL HOSPITAL I HAVE VIDEO AN PICTURES FROM THIS ACCIDENT THAT I WAS INVOLVED IN........ACCIDENT ACCURED ON INTERSTATE 10 HEADED WEST BRFORE THE COLLEGE DRIVE EXIT IN BATON ROUGE LOUISIANA..A THREE CAR WRECK WITH ONE CAR FLEEDING THE SCENE AFTER HITTING MY CAR FROM BEHIND.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ALL THE PARK REVERSE NEUTRAL AND DRIVE LIGHTS STARTED HAVING FLASHING SQUARES AROUND THEM AND A 8 APPEARED AT THE END OF THEM. THEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED GETTING STUCK AT HIGH SPEED AND NEARLY MADE ME LOOSE CONTROL.

TRUCK WOULD NOT START. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND FOUND OUT THE TIPM MODULE WHICH CONTROLS THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS BAD. LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS DEALING WITH THE ISSUE ON THE 4.7 RAM 1500. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE THE OWNERS $1,250 TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEY KNOW ABOUT. PURCHASED TRUCK ON JANUARY 13, 2017. IT HAD 75,000 MILES ON IT.

TAKATA RECALL - NHTSA RECALL NUMBER - 17V-435 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER - T36 THE ALTERNATOR MAY EXPERIENCE DIODE THERMAL FATIGUE FAILURE DUE TO CYCLICAL LOADS INDUCED BY ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING.

CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A PUBLIC STREET SEVERAL TIMES AND WOULDN'T START AT TIMES BEFORE IT FINALLY JUST LEFT ME STRANDED. DURING THESE TIMES THERE WAS NO ERROR ON THE SCREEN LETTING ME KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS SO I JUST KEPT TRYING TO DRIVE IT. THEN AFTER AWHILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON A FEW TIMES BUT IT WAS AT RANDOM TIMES AND DID NOT STAY ON. THE CAR ONLY HAS 18000 MILES AND I'VE ONLY HAD IT FOR 2 YEARS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT DID NOT CHECK TO SEE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DIE SO QUICK. THEY JUST TOLD ME THAT I DON'T DRIVE IT ENOUGH AND THAT I STOP AND START IT TOO MUCH BECAUSE I WORK TOO CLOSE TO HOME... (THIS IS NOT MY FIRST CAR AND THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE). THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAD THIS CAR SERVICED. THE ENTIRE FIRST YEAR I KEPT GETTING AN ERROR THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS TOO LOW AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS JUST AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM BUT I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES RIGHT AWAY ON A BRAND NEW CAR. SO IT'S ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE TIRES/WHEELS ON A BRAND NEW CAR. PEOPLE BUY NEW CARS TO AVOID THESE PROBLEMS!

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DAKOTA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. HALL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM VIRGINIA BEACH (3152 VIRGINIA BEACH BLVD, VIRGINIA BEACH, VA) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT OUT IN THE TRUCK CAUSING IT TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN TRAFFIC. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST SHOP WHICH WAS FIRESTONE ON CENTRAL IN SOUTH PHOENIX. DODGE REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS.

THE VEHICLE HAS 34,000 MILES ON IT AND WILL NOT START. ONCE IT'S DOES START IT SHUTS OFF. WAS INFORMED IT WAS FUEL PUMP. ONCE THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED THE VEHICLE DID THE EXACT SAME THING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT'S A HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE VEHICLE AND WHEN YOU DRIVE IT STALLS AND CUTS OFF VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC AND WHEN YOU HAVE A TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND YOU. THE DEALER THEN SAYS IT'S THE "TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE" WHICH IS NOT NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND A RECALL NEED TO BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

2007 DODGE SPRINTER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER THE DEALER COMPLETED THE RECALL, THERE WERE SRS ERROR CODES PRESENT THAT THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR. UPATED 11/07/2017*JS
