DODGE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHILE ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE HAD NO INDICATION/WARNING OF ITS SHUT OFF. I HAD MY CHILD IN THE VEHICLE AND COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. VEHICLE HAS HAD ALL REQUIRED/RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE. VEHICLE HAS 140000 MILES. UNKNOWN OF THE CAUSE OF THE SHUT OFF.

ON JANUARY OF THIS YEAR (2017) I HAD NEW TIRES REPLACED ON MY 2014 DODGE CHARGER RT AWD. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN HAVING A SHIMMY ON MY STEERING WHEEL AT AROUND 60MPH. BEEN TAKING IT TO THE DEALER SHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT NEW. BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO HAVE EVERYTHING CHECK REGARDING "SHIMMY." $1,500.00 DOLLARS LATER TILL THIS DATE (10-24-17) DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM. TOOK VEHICLE TO A "PRIVATELY OWNED STATE CERTIFIED SHOP" AND TODAY (10-24-17)...THEY FOUND THE "SHIMMY" PROBLEM. THE WHOLE ENTIRE "DRIVESHAFT / SLIP JOINTS ETC. ARE LOOSE AND COMING APART. VIA PHONE CONVERSATION. HAVE NOT PICKED VEHICLE UP AS OF TODAY YET FROM PLACE. WHEN LOOKED ON THIS SITE FOR "RECALL" REGARDING THIS PROBLEM USING MY VIN # NO INFORMATION CAME UP REGARDING MY VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS LESS THEN 50,000 MILES ON IT. FOUND OUT "RECALLS" ON 2014 - 2017 DODGE / CHRYSLER AWD ARE ON THE WEBSITE. AGAIN HOWEVER...WHEN I TYPED IN MY VIN.# ON THIS SITE...NO INFORMATION REGARDING MY PROBLEMS / SITUATION TO SAID VIN # SHIMMY HAPPENS AT 50-60MPH TRAVELING... WITH NO BRAKING AT ALL.

CALLED DEALER ON 10 OR 12 TIMES IN ZIP CODE 30067 OVER PASS 2 YEARS TO TAKE CARE OF RECALL NEVER HAD PARTS, ALWAYS ASKED ME TO CALL BACK ASK ME TO PAY FOR AIRBAG RECALL THEN APPLY FOR SOMEONE TO SENT ME MONEY BACK. ALL THE WRITTEN DOCS I HAVE RECEIVED FROM TK HOLDINGS INC IT CLEARLY STATES FREE REPAIR REPLAEMENT OF AIRBAG

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE OCTOBER 22, 2014. AFTER A WEEK WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP EXPLAINING THE HEAT DID NOT WORK ON PASSENGER SIDE. HE TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK IT. TOOK IT BACK IN, SERVICE PARTS TOLD ME IT WASN'T COVERED -- MANUFACTURER DEFECT. TOOK THE CAR IN TO THOMAS DODGE THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW RADIATOR AND THE HEATER CORE WAS CLOGGED -- COST TO REPAIR $1900. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 60,000 MI. I'VE PUT @20,000 MILES ON IT IN 3 YEARS. AND BOUGHT A SERVICE CONTRACT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A KNOWN PROBLEM -- I'M JUST STUMPED. I NEED SOMETHING RELIABLE.

VEHICLE A/C WENT OUT. GOT IT CHECKED OUT, MECHANIC SAID NO LEAKS OR ANYTHING OUT THE ORDINARY. RECHARGED IT WITH 1234YF. THE A/C WORKS BUT SEEMS TO STILL MAKE A LEAKING SOUND. THERE IS A GAS LIKE SMELL THAT COMES OUT THE VENT. PRETTY SURE A/C UNIT WILL GO OUT AG AIN.

TAKATA RECALL ON 9-6-2012 MY HUSBAND WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT NOT HIS FAULT. HE WAS THE 3RD CAR IN RIGHT HAND LANE HEADING EAST AT A STOPLIGHT WITH CARS IN THE NEXT LANE ALSO AT THE STOPLIGHT NEXT TO HIM, A TRUCK HIT HIM GOING ABOUT 55-65 MPH AND HIS HEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING HIM TO HAVE INJURIES REQUIRING LIFEFLIGHT TO A TRAUMA CENTER IN HOUSTON, TX. HE HAD A BRAIN INJURY AND REQUIRED 124 STITCHES IN HIS MOUTH AND A SEVERED SPLEEN. HE HAD A BRAIN BLEED AND IT NEVER FULLY WENT AWAY. MANY VISITS TO THE NEUROSURGEON AND CAT SCANS FOLLOWED FOR A YEAR. HE WAS NEVER ABLE TO GO BACK TO WORK. HE WAS 65 AT THE TIME AND WAS A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER AT TEXAS DEPT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE. HIS PERSONALITY CHANGED DUE TO THE PAIN HE SUFFERED AND HE DIED 7-2-17 WITH HEADACHES AND A BRAIN BLEED GOING ON. HIS AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED IN THE ACCIDENT. OUR LIFE CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY AND I WENT BACK TO WORK AFTER RETIREMENT TO MEET OUR RESPONSIBILITIES. MY PICTURES WILL NOT UPLOAD. *DSY 20171025 ..UPDATED 11/06/17 *BF UPDATED 9/12/18*JB

TAKATA RECALL. I BOUGHT A 2015 DODGE TRUCK AT AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM AT 3118 GOVERNMENT BLVD MOBILE, AL 36606. I USED MY 2008 DODGE 1500 AS A TRADE IN AND BECAUSE THE RECALL PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME THEY SEND THAT THEY COULD NOT SELL THAT TRUCK BECAUSE IT HAD ARECALL. THEY WOULD ONLY GIVE ME 4,000 ON TRADE THAT TRUCK WAS WORTH AROUND 8,000 DOLLARS. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER ABOUT TWO WEEK LATER AND THE 2008 THAT I TRADED WAS OFF THE LOT AND I AM SURE THAT THEY SOLD TO SOME BUY HERE HEAR PAY HERE I FELL LIKE THEY CHEATED ME OUT OF THE 4,000 DOLLARS MORE FOR THE TRUCK. GRANTED I MADE THE TRADE. BUT I FEEL LIKE THEY ACTED IN BAD FAITH THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. [XXX] ON, [XXX] [XXX].
