DODGE Complaints

KEY FOB MESSAGE KEY FOB HAS LEFT VEHICLE WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, DRIVING HIGHWAY, STOPPED AS WELL AS PARKED. AT TIMES UNABLE TO GET IN TO CAR. OTHER TIMES WHEN IN VEHICLE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. ALSO, TRANSMISSION COMMAND IN DRIVE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO FORWARD AND IN REVERSE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BACK UP AND WHEN IT DOES IT MAKE A NOISE.

RECEIVED MULTIPLE RECALL NOTICES FROM CHRYLSER IN THE COURSE OF LAST ~1.5 YR. WHEN I CALL TO SCHEDULE WITH LOCAL DEALER IN KOKOMO IN THEY TAKE MY INFO & SAY THEY'LL CALL WHEN PARTS COME AVAILABLE. OVER A YEAR LATER AND I 'M GETTING PAPERWORK ON TK HOLDINGS (TAKATA) CHAPTER 11 FILING. JUST WANT CHRYSLER TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG.. HELP !

TAKATA RECALL, I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL WAS INVALID AND IF I HAD NOT RECEIVED A NOTICE DIRECTLY FROM THE CAR MANUFACTURER THEN THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT REPLACE MY PARTS. ANOTHER LOCATION ASKED FOR THE VIN NUMBER, I HAD TO CALL BACK BUT THEY CONTINUOUSLY PUT ME ON HOLD BUT THEN NEVER PICKED UP. I HAVEN'T HAD AN INCIDENT, BUT TO MY KNOWLEDGE THIS INFORMATION AND REPAIR IS SUPPOSED TO BE PREVENTATIVE. I'D RATHER NOT HAVE TO SUE FOR MONEY AFTER I'VE BEEN INJURED IF IT'S NOT NECESSARY. I JUST WANT MY VEHICLE REPAIRED.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING , ONCE WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY AND ANOTHER WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH TO WORK, I HAVE REACHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MANY DURANGO'S HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM I THINK IT FALLS UNDER NHTSA REFERENCE #15V115000 BUT MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER IS NOT LISTED UNDER THIS RECALL

THE DASH IS COMPLETELY FRACTURED AND BROKEN INTO SHARDS OF SHARP HARD PLASTIC THAT SHOULD THE TAKATA AIRBAG EVER DEPLOY WILL BE PROPELLED LIKE SHRAPNEL THROUGH THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AT EXPLOSIVE SPEEDS. IT'S LIKE DRIVING A CAR WITH BROKEN CLASS COVERING THE DASHBOARD. THIS ISSUE, THE DASH FRACTURING AND SPLITTING INTO PIECES AS A RESULT OF SUN EXPOSURE AND AGE SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM ON ALMOST ALL OF THE ONLINE FORUMS I WENT TO TO DISCOVER IF THIS WAS UNIQUE TO ME. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW SUCH AN OBVIOUS AND COMMON HAZARD EXPERIENCED BY SO MANY, IS ALLOWED TO PERSIST.

CAR WAS WARM, NOT HOT OR COLD - JUST STARTED DRIVING. AT A STOP, CAR ENGINE DIED (ALL LIGHTS WERE ON, STEREO PLAYING). TRIED RESTARTING, CAR TURNED OVER, BUT WOULD NOT START.

CRANK NO START. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IT WILL START. SOMETIMES IT WILL JUST DIE WHILE DRIVING. THEY USED THE RECALL KIT FOR THE CHEROKEE TO FIX MY TRUCK. I HAVE THE SAME TIPM COMPUTER AS A CHEROKEE SO WHY ISN'T MY VEHICLE INCLUDED ON SAME RECALL?
