DODGE Complaints

THERE HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLES COMPUTER SYSTEM. MY IPHONE NO LONGER CONNECTS TO THE CAR VIA BLUETOOTH, THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SCREEN WILL SHUT DOWN AND RELOAD RANDOMLY, THE REVERSE CAMERA GOES IN AND OUT (SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T, AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE BUTTONS ON THE RADIO FUNCTION WON'T WORK AT ALL.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THIS MORNING, TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL, THE PASSENGER SEAT HEADREST COMPLETELY POPPED ITSELF OUT. CAME APART FROM FROM FRONT TO BACK AND IS LOCKED SO THAT IT CANNOT BE PUT BACK TOGETHER. IT HIT MY PASSENGER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.

NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: DP14004 MY RAM 1500 2011 HAS A FUEL PUMP INTERNAL RELAY IN THE TIPM. THE BATTERY RUNS DOWN EVERY NIGHT WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND IT HAS A BRAND NEW INTERSTATE BATTERY. MY ALTERNATOR HAS TESTED OUT TO BE IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION. PREVIOUS TO MY BATTERY DYING THE TRUCK WOULDN'T START FOR SEVERAL MINUTES WITHOUT CYCLING THE KEY -- NOW ALL I HAVE IS A DEAD BATTERY EVERY MORNING.

WHILE DRIVING TO HIGHWAY THE RPM WAS GOING TO HIRE AN ENGINE START MAKING WHINING SOUND AND IN THE CITY WHILE REACHING TO MECHANIC AT THE INTERSECTION IT WAS GIVING HUGE JERK AND SOMETIMES GET DOESN'T SHIFT AT ALL THE CARS STAND STILL AT INTERSECTIONS I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON IN ORDER TO MOVE WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUSAFTER CONSULT TO A MECHANIC HE SAYS OIL PUMP IS GONE FOR THE TRANSMISSION DODGE CARAVAN IS A FAMILY CAR I GOT FOUR KIDS AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF FORMS IN WHICH PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE KINDLY ASSIST IN THIS REGARDS

EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN, THE SCREEN, BLACKS OUT AND THE RADIO SHUTS OFF. IT THEN "REBOOTS" AND WORKS FOR A LITTLE BIT BEFORE THE SCREEN GOES WHITE AND "REBOOTS". ALSO WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE GAUGE CLUSTER DIMS TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS BARELY VISIBLE. SOME COMMUTES, IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE OR TWICE, OTHERS, ITS SEEMS LIKE ITS EVERY 5 MINUTES OR SO. IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES, ACCELERATING, TURNING, AT A STOP, ETC.

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH ON A TOWN ROAD AND THE CAR RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. THERE WAS A TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT THAT CAME ON. ALL ELECTRICAL STILL WORKED BUT NO ACCELERATION, POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART THE CAR. WHAT IF I WAS ON THE HIGH WAY? WHAT IF I WAS CROSSING AN INTERSECTION? MY WIFE DRIVES MY 3 CHILDREN AROUND IN THIS CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES THIS PAST WEEK. NEVER DID IT BEFORE. AND I'VE ALREADY HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED THAT DODGE SENT OUT A RECALL FOR.

THIS HAPPENED TO ME LAST YEAR AROUND OCTOBER TO DECEMBER AND IT IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. I START MY CAR AND I WILL BE DRIVING. THE CAR WILL THEN STOP RUNNING WHILE I'M IN DRIVE, STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP BUT RADIO AND EVERYTHING WILL STILL BE ON. IT IS ALMOST LIKE MY CAR DIED. I AM THEN STUCK WHEREVER THE CAR BREAKS DOWN ON ME AT AND I WILL TRY AND START MY CAR. IT USUALLY TAKE 2 OR 3 TIMES BEFORE IT EVENTUALLY STARTS BACK UP. AND I ONLY HAVE TO TURN THE KEY OVER ONCE AND IT WILL KEEP TURNING OVER THE ENGINE UNTIL I TURN THE KEY TO TURN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF. IT ALSO SEEMS AS IF I HAVE TO SIT AND WAIT FOR THE CAR TO RUN FOR A MINUTE WHEN IT DOES START BACK UP BEFORE I CAN TAKE OFF AGAIN OR IT WILL JUST DIE ON ME AGAIN WHILE IM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON OR ANY OTHER LIGHT ON UNTIL IT SHUTDOWN ON ME. USUALLY ITS THE BATTERY LIGHT OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. BUT AS SOON AS IT STARTS UP AGAIN THEY ARE GONE. I KEEP UP TO DATE ON MY OIL CHANGES. I HAVE NO CLUE WHY IT DOES THIS. I ALSO RECENTLY CHANGED MY BATTERY. I ALSO HAD BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED AND THEY WERE GOOD. THERES TIMES I NOTICE MY CAR IDLING ON ITS OWN WHEN I START THE CAR AND WHEN I TAKE IT OUT OF PARK IT WANTS TO TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME OR EVERYDAY. ITS SCARY WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN AS I COULD BE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY CAR RANDOMLY WANTS TO SHUT DOWN ON ME. IT FEELS UNSAFE.

2014 DODGE DART PURCHASED NEW. WAS DRIVING VEHICLE ON CITY STREET AND CAME TO STOP AND CAR JUST STALLED ON ME WITH NO WARNING WHICH WAS VERY SCARY. VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP STALLING SO TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THE TECHNICIAN SAID IT WOULD COST AT LEAST A THOUSAND TO TAKE CAR APART AS THEY BELIEVE IT IS A INTERNAL ENGINE PROBLEM. IT SUCKS CAUSE NOW MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND BY DOING SOME SEARCHING LOOKS LIKE THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM TO DODGE BUT NOTHING WAS EVER DONE ABOUT IT. MY CAR IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH ONLY 60,000 MILES.

WELL I WAS DRIVING THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND KEEPS GIVING ME A WARNING SIGNAL. CRUISE CONTROL WON'T WORK

LCD SCREEN DETACHING FROM THE GLASS WHICH CAUSES THE HEATING AND AIR TO NOT WORK PROPERLY, THE STEREO, GPS, HEATED AND COOLING SEATS CONTRACTION CONTROL, PRETTY MUCH ALL INSIDE FUNCTIONS.
