DODGE Complaints

ALTERNATOR RECALL ON MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER. PARTS UNAVAILABLE FOR YEARS. NO COMMUNICATION FROM DODGE.

I BECAME AWARE THAT THE TIPM MODULE IS DEFECTIVE. I NOTIFIED DODGE ON THIS PROBLEM AND EVEN REQUESTED ASSISTANCE ON REPAIR. ON 11/03/17, WAS TOLD DODGE DENIED CLAIM. IN MY OPINION THIS MAY BE A SAFETY CONCERN, SINCE THE TIPM MODULE CONTROLS FUEL SYSTEM, AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, WIPER OPERATIONS AND A FEW OTHER SYSTEMS. I'VE NOTICED ON THE INTERNET FROM DOSGE FORUMS THAT ALOT OF DODGE AND CHRYSLER OWNERS ALSO HAD ISSUSES WITH THE TIPM MODULE. I WAS QUOTED FOR REPAIRS AROUND $1200.00 .

"ENGINE STALLS OUT AND COMPLETELY DIES". THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY WITH MY SIX YEAR OLD IN THE CAR. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE ALREADY AND THIS WILL BE THE THIRD FINAL ATTEMPT FOR REPAIR. I'VE BROUGHT A NEW BATTERY EVEN AFTER IT PASSED SUCCESSFUL TESTING, AND THE ALTERNATOR PASSED AS WELL. THE FIRST TIME IT STOPPED ON ME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY (HAD THE CAR TOLL TO THE NEAREST AUTOZONE FOR A NEW BATTERY) HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, 2ND TIME IT STOPPED TWO DAYS LATER ON THE INTERSTATE HAD THE CAR (THIS TIME I HAD IT TOLL TO THE DEALERSHIP) AND THEY PUT IN THE WORK ORDER WHAT I STATED DID NOTHING TO THE ENGINE AND ONLY COMPLETED THE RECALL ON THE BRAKES. THE THIRD TIME IT STOPPED ON ME WHILE DRIVING WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OCT. 2017 HAD TO GET A JUMP AND HE KEPT STALLING OUT BEFORE IT COMPLETELY STOPPED THIS TIME I CONTACTED DODGE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOLL ME TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP FOR DOCUMENTATION. I HAVE OPEN A CASE WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING NO WHERE, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT EVEN BOTHER TO CONTACT ME. I'M GOING THROUGH ALL OF THIS WHEN THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD WITH 48,000 MILES STILL COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ALL THE TIMES I VEHICLE HAS STOPPED ON ME ON DARK ROADS, IN TRAFFIC, ON THE INSTATE MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS CAR IS A DANGER TO ME, MY, FAMILY, AND ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD IF I DRIVE THIS CAR. FOR NOW IT CONTINUES TO BE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHILE I DRIVE THE LOANER CAR THEY GAVE ME. BUT I'M STILL HAVING TO MAKE CAR PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE I'M NOT EVEN DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. AFTER THE CONTACT OPENED THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR, SHE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE ELECTRICAL WIRING FROM THE MIRROR CAUSED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ORANGE PARK DODGE (7233 BLANDING BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32244). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V879000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, INTERIOR LIGHTING) DAYS BEFORE THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

MY VEHICLE IS STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, MY BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP AND I JUST HAD TO TRY TO GET IT STOPPED AND TURNED OFF. ALSO, MY FUEL PUMP REMAINS RUNNING AFTER I HAVE TURNED MY PICKUP OFF. I HAVE GONE THROUGH TWO BRAND NEW FUSE BOXES, AND TWO FUEL PUMPS TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IS WHAT CONTINUES TO FRY, WHICH IN TURN FRIES MY ENTIRE FUSE BOX DUE TO IT BEING BUILT INTO THE ACTUAL MODULE WITHIN THE FUSE BOX. I AM $1600 IN WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS EACH TIME- I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE, AND I CAME ACROSS MULTIPLE RECALL NOTICES FOR A 5.7 L HEMI, WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE IN MY PICKUP.

WHEN I TURNED ON THE HI BEAMS (VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY), THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED, ALL THE DASH LIGHT CUT IN AND OUT, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP, AND THE DOOR AJAR/LIGHTS ON WARNING BELLS WENT OFF. I DIMMED THE HEADLIGHTS AND IT STOPPED. THE DEALER FIRST SAID THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD, AND IT WAS ONLY CHARGING AT 12 VOLTS, SO THEY REPLACED IT, BUT THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEN THEY SAID IT WAS THE TIPM. 17 DAYS AND $1351 LATER, I HAVE MY TRUCK BACK.

WHILE DRIVING MY SON TO SCHOOL EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF IN CAR WHILE DRIVING FROM THE LIGHTS INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR, WIPERS, WINDOWS CAN NOT GO UP OR DOWN, UNABLE TO ALERT ANYONE IN TRAFFIC THAT I WAS COMING TO A STOP. THIS OCCURRED WHILE IT WAS STILL DARK OUTSIDE. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON AFTER TAKING INTO SHOP I WAS GIVEN THIS SITE TO REPORT IT DUE TO SEVERAL OTHERS CLAIMING SAME ISSUE.

THE TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG LIGHT IN MY TRUCK IS ON I CALL THE DODGE DEALER AND THE SAID THAT IS A RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS.I CALL THEM MORE THE 4 TIMES TO SEE IF THE AIR BAG IS BACK AND LAST FRIDAY 10/27/17 THEY SAID THEY DONT HAVE ANY MORE AIR BAGAS AND THEY WASNT GOING TO FIX MY TRUCK TO CONTINUE DRIVING LIKE THAT I SAID TO THE GUY AND IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME ?? HE SAID I DON'T KNOW ???? EXCUSE ME HOW CAN I DRIVE MY TRUCK WITH A TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL.PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN I DO THANKS.I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS CONSTANTLY BREAK. THIS CAUSES EXHAUST LEAK AT THE CYLINDER HEADS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I HAVE HAD THIS REPAIRED TWICE IN THE PAST YEAR AND THE PROBLEM IS THERE AGAIN.

DRIVING IN ALL TYPES OF CONDITIONS, ENGINE RANDOMLY OVERHEATS. HAVE REPLACED THERMOSTAT - TWICE, RADIATOR, HEATER CORE, COOLANT FLUSH - TWICE, PRESSURE TEST, RADIATOR HOSE, WATER PUMP. STILL OVERHEATING AND BECOMING MORE AND MORE FREQUENT.
