DODGE Complaints

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD AN OPEN RECALL FOR OVER A YEAR ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. MY VEHICLE HAS STOPPED RUNNING A FEW TIMES WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY. AT FIRST, IT WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THEN, THE VEHICLE DID NOT START AT ALL. DODGE SAYS THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PROPER RECALL REPAIR PART MADE YET AND WOULD STILL REPLACE IT WITH THE CURRENT PART THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED. I DID NEED TO HAVE THAT DONE TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE. AFTER 2 MONTHS OF DRIVING AN 80 MILE DAILY ROUND TRIP TO WORK AND HOME, IT HAS STOPPED RUNNING AGAIN. I HAVE CALLED DODGE AND TRIED TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED AND FIXED PROPERLY BUT THEY ACT LIKE IT IS NOT THEIR COMPLETE CONCERN. THEY ARE CURRENTLY NOT PROVIDING TOWING OR A RENTAL. THIS IS VERY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A MANUFACTURER TO POST A RECALL AND THEN NOT GET IT PROPERLY FIXED IN OVER A YEAR TIME FRAME.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY CEL LIGHT CAME ON. I BARELY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD O INVESTIGATE IT. MY CAR WOULD NOT RUN, AND I HAD TO GET TOWED HOME...... TURNS OUT THE MY UPPER RADIATOR HOSE WAS BROKEN WHERE THE FITTING GOES INTO THE HOSE. AFTER TRYING TO FIND THE FITTING I WAS TOLD I HAD TO BUY THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. CONFUSED AS TO WHY I HAD TO BUY THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY I LOOKED AT THE NEW PART AND IT HAD BEEN REDESIGNED WHERE THE FITTING IS NOW HELD ON BY A MORE PERMANENT HEAT-SHRINK LOOKING TUBE INSTEAD OF HOSE CLAMPS. WELL, SEEING THAT THE UPPER RADIATOR HOSE IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE RADIATOR I WAS ALSO A LITTLE CONFUSED AS TOO WHY YOU WOULD WANT CONSUMERS TO HAVE TO SPEND 100.00 FOR JUST THE PART , IF THEY ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE PARKED AND FIND IT, BUT IF THEY ARE UNLUCKY LIKE MYSELF THEN THEY ALSO RECEIVE A TOW BILL ON TOP OF THAT. SEEMS TO ME THAT IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM BECAUSE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN REDIESIGNED. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL BECAUSE IF/WHEN THE FITTING DECIDES TO BREAK NOT ONLY DID MY CAR CUT OFF BUT THERE IS A BIG LIKLEYHOOD THAT IT COULD LOCK UP OR EVEN DAMAGE YOUR WATER PUMP , ENGINE, ETC.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I HAD IT CHECKED IT'S NOT READING ANYTHING. MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL LIGHT KEEP GOING OUT. I HAVE PAID FIRESTONE IN EAST CHASE IN MONTGOMERY AL TO REPLACE THE SOCKET AND I HAVE HAD THE BULB CHANGED OUT AT LEAST 3 TIMES. MY TRUNK STARTED OUT OPENING BY IT SELF. I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED IN THE REMOTE. NOW THE TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. THE REVERSE LIGHTS ARE OUT. I REPLACED THE BULBS. STILL WON'T WORK, THE TRUNK LIGHT IS OUT. NOW THE CAR HAS STARTED TO BEEP BEEP LIKE I HAVE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED THE DOOR WHEN I HAVE NOT TOUCHED IT. I HAVE TO REPLACE MY BATTERY EVERY 3 MONTHS. SOMETHING IS WRONG. I HAVE PAID MONEY AT BREWBAKER AND FIRESTONE IN MONTGOMERY AL. I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I START THE CAR UP. THE CAR BEEPS BEEPS WHEN IT IS PARKED AND THE DOORS LOCKED.

THE TRANSMISSION PUMP HAS FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY IT JERKS AND SOMETIMES WON'T SHIFT AT ALL MAKING THE RPM'S GO VERY HIGH BEFORE IT SHIFT WITH A HARD JERK. MAKES A WHINING NOISE AND IS UNSTABLE.

I HAVE AN INTERMITTENT CRANK, NO CRANK ISSUE. OFTEN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE POWER JUST CUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE AC ALSO CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON ITS OWN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. I HAVE 2 MINORS WICH I DRIVE TO SCHOOL DAILY AND I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY. CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS, WE HAVE CHANGED THE STARTER, ALTERNATOR AND TWO NEW BATTERIES AND THE LOSS OF POWER ISSUE REMAINS.

DASH IS CRACKED AND PIECES ARE FLYING EVERYWHERE WHEN THE AC IS TURNED ON. VERY UNSAFE.

BLOWN ENEGINE DUE TO CYCLINDER MISFIRE AND BNDING ROD CAUSED BY FAULTY COWL PANEL. THIS HAPPENED WHEN IT RAINED I WENT TO START ENEGINE AND IT BLEW
