DODGE Complaints

WHILE IN MOTION MY CAR CUTT OFF ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BUT CAME RIGHT BACK ON. LAST NIGHT WHILE IN MOTION MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND DID I NOT TURN BACK ON. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLE AS FAR AS MAINTENANCE. SO FAR I'VE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON A VEHICLE THAT I BOUGHT NEW. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND ALSO REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. I GOT ALL THE WORK DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR.

2004 DODGE RAM 3500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PARTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE TO PERFORM PASSENGER AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. *LD UPDATED 11/06/207*JS

LIGHT ON DASH HAS COME ON TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY RAN A CHECK AND TOLD ME THAT MY AIRBAG WAS BAD

MY VEHICLE HAS STOPPED ON TWO OCCASIONS WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN I PULLED OUT THE OIL STICK THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO OIL. THIS HAPPENED THE SECOND TIME AS WELL. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE OIL WENT DOWN ABOUT HALF A QUART IN 1000 MILES. THEY SENT ME AWAY AND SAID THAT THIS WAS ACCEPTABLE.THE ENGINE ONLY HOLDS ABOUT FOUR QUARTS THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND I WILL NEVER MAKE IT INTO MY NEXT OIL CHANGE WITHOUT THE CAR SHUTTING OFF. THE CAR SHUTS OFF DUE TO A SAFETY REACTION TO STOP THE ENGINE FROM BEING DAMAGED DUE TO LOW OIL. I HAVE NOT MADE IT TO MY OIL CHANGE SINCE I HAVE BEEN REFILLING THE OIL. DODGE'S GUIDELINES SAY IT IS "ACCEPTABLE" FOR THE 2.4 ENGINE TO BURN 1 QUART EVERY 750 MILES. THAT IS ALL THE ENGINE OIL IN THE ENGINE SINCE IT ONLY HOLDS 4 QUARTS EVERY 3,000 MILES. MY OIL CHANGE WON'T BE DUE ANY TIME CLOSE TO THEN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINS AND THREADS OF CITIZENS WITH THIS SAFETY CONCERN. I AM WORRIED OF WHEN THE CAR WILL STOP ON ME AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, SOMETIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE ENGINE WILL STALL. WHILE ALL INTERIOR ACCESSORIES STAY ENERGIZED, THE ENGINE DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED DOZENS OF TIMES AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. THIS ISSUE DID NOT START OCCURRING UNTIL THE TOUCHSCREEN STOPPED WORKING AND THE DASH DISPLAY STARTED SHOWING IN GERMAN ALONG WITH THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING. I HAD IT TOWED INTO THE DEALER WHERE THEY HAD IT FOR TWO WEEKS. THEY REPLACED THE TELEMATICS GATEWAY CONTROL MODULE, SEVERAL RELAYS, AND THE BATTERY. AFTER THIS REPAIR IS WHEN THE ABOVE ISSUE STARTED HAPPENING. THIS IS OUTRIGHT DANGEROUS AND HAS LEFT MY WIFE (HER VEHICLE) STRANDED NOW THREE SEPARATE TIMES. I UNDERSTAND THE DEALER IS TRYING TO RECREATED THE ISSUE WHEN I TAKE IT TO THEM, BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO DO IT WHEN THEY HAVE IT IN THEIR POSSESSION. I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE ONLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE AROUND THE BLOCK AND CALLING IT GOOD. THIS STALLING HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I JUST WANT MY WIFE AND CHILD TO BE SAFE AND I DON'T FEEL THAT IS THE CASE HERE. I WILL BE LOOKING TO TRADE VEHICLE IN IF THIS ISSUE CANNOT BE FIGURED OUT. I AM ALSO ANGRY THAT I AM PAYING ON A PIECE OF JUNK THAT SPENDS MORE TIME IN THE SHOP THAN BEING DRIVEN.

THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SWITCH DOESN'T MAKE THE WINDOW GO UP. YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH IT FOR AWHILE BEFORE IT DOES . IT DOES THIS ANY TIME YOU TRY TO MAKE THE WINDOW GO UP

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JUNE 2017 REGARDING AN ALTERNATOR ISSUE ON MY 2013 DODGE DURANGO. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER 2017 AND THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY. MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON THIS MORNING AFTER DRIVING FOR LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES IN A 30 MPH ZONE. I HAVE AN INFANT DAUGHTER SO I CANNOT RISK ANY BATTERY ISSUES IN THE DEAD OF WINTER IN UPSTATE NEW YORK. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY SIX MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED WITH NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. THE RISKS INCLUDE HEAT/SMOKE OR EVEN FIRE WITHIN THE ALTERNATOR. SIX MONTHS SEEMS LIKE A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF TIME FOR A REPAIR OF THIS MAGNITUDE TO BE NOT BE RESOLVED. I WILL HAVE THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED AND SUBMIT FOR A REIMBURSEMENT BUT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND INCUR THOSE KINDS OF EXPENSES SO CLOSE TO THE HOLIDAY SEASON WHEN THEY'VE HAD SIX MONTHS TO REACT TO THE SITUATION.

FRONT END/STEERING SHAKES WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP OR THE ROAD IS ROUGH. ALL MOST MAKES THE VEHICLE UNCONTROLABLE.

ALTERNATOR CATCH FIRE WHILE DRIVING NO OTHER PROBLEMS GOOD BATTERY GOOD EVERYTHING

IT WAS RAINING AND AS IT WAS RAINING MY CAR STARTED TO BLINK ALL LIGHTS AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN NO MECHANIC CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON BUT AS I WAS DRIVING EVERY WARNING LIGHT STARTED GOING CRAZY THE TACHOMETER WENT CRAZY AND SO DID MY SPEEDOMETER EVENTUALLY MY CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN EVEN THOUGH IT THE ACCELORATOR WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. AND THAN EVENTUALLY IT JUST STOPPED ALL TOGETHER WHEN I TRIED TURNING THE CAR BACK ON.THE STARTED WOULDNT ENGAGE AND THE ENGINE WOULD START TILL I PUT UNHOOKED THE BATTERY AND HOOKED IT BACK IN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS 12/25/2016 6/15/2017 AND AGAIN TODAY 11/3/2017 THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN MY FATHER OWNED THE VEHICLE AS WELL BEFORE I PURCHASED IT FROM HIM.
