DODGE Complaints

INCIDENT HAPPENED OCT. 2, 2020... I WAS DRIVING ACROSS AN INTERSECTION, MY WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE... VERY TERRIFYING!! MADE IT THRU THE INTERSECTION, WAS ABLE TO GET OF THE ROAD... WHEN THE MECHANIC (THE MAN THAT PUSHED MY CAR BACK TO MY RESIDENCE) TOOK A LOOK UNDER THE BOTTOM... IT WAS TOTALLY ROTTED OUT, WHICH IN FACT CAUSED MY WHEEL TO DETACH FORM THE VEHICLE ... I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE, NOW I AM OUT OF A VEHICLE NO MONEY AND I HAVE TO PAY INSURANCE... PLEASE I NEED HELP!! YOUR ABRUPT ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.*DT*DT*JB

THE CHILD PROTECTION LOCK SYSTEM NO LONGER FUNCTIONS ON MY 2019 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN DUE TO THE SLIDING DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR MALFUNCTIONING. WE ONLY DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM BY ACCIDENT WHEN MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR BEFORE I UNLOCKED THE VEHICLE. WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE MANUFACTURER ON 11/5/2020, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL BEING ISSUED EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING IN SIMILAR VEHICLES. I AM GREATLY CONCERNED THAT PARENTS ARE DRIVING AROUND THINKING THE CHILD PROTECTION LOCK IS ACTIVE WHEN A CHILD CAN OPEN THE SLIDING DOOR AT ANY TIME, EVEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I CANNOT GET A PHOTO THAT SHOWS THIS PROBLEM, SO THERE IS NO DOCUMENTATION.

2019 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. 3.6 PENTASTAR ENGINE. 60K MILES. FOR OVER A YEAR IT HAS ROUGH IDLE AND ENGINE VIBRATION AT HWY SPEED. MISFIRE ON CYLINDER #2 DOES NOT GO AWAY. ALWAYS RETURNS. HAVE REPLACED COILS, PLUGS TWICE AND INJECTORS. #2 CYLINDER MISFIRE STILL THROWS ENGINE LIGHT. WENT TO AND CALLED DODGE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT PROBLEM. THEY CLAIM THERE ARE NO KNOWN ISSUES, PROBLEMS OR RECALLS. THEY KEEP TRYING TO TELL ME IT'S BAD FUEL AND I SHOULD USE HIGHER GRADE FUEL. I'VE DONE THAT AS WELL AND THE MISFIRE ON #2 CYLINDER IS ALWAYS THERE. THE VIBRATION GETS SO BAD SOMETIMES THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES LIKE YOUR SITTING IN A MASSAGE CHAIR. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE AND I'M REALLY FRUSTRATED THAT DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A DEFECT ON THIS ENGINE THAT IS CAUSING THIS AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY THEM. IT'S ONLY A YEAR OLD AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP IT HESITATES AND JERKS IF YOU GIVE IT TOO MUCH GAS EVERY TIME YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL OR SLOW TO A STOP SOMETHING POPPING IN THE FRONT END IF YOU TAKE OFF TOO FAST IT'LL BACKFIRE LITTLE POPS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ALWAYS COMING ON SAYING THAT WE HAVE MULTIPLE MISFIRES WHEN WE DON'T WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON THE AUTOMATIC START DOESN'T WORK AND WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS BLINKING

OPENED DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR, PLACED MY BAG INSIDE AND CLOSED IT NORMALLY. DROVE 3 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD AND WHEN I PARKED, I WENT TO RETRIEVE MY BAG, BUT THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. COULDNT MOVE THE LOCK. IT'S LIKE THE LOCKING MECHANISM GOT STUCK. CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR. WORRIED ABOUT MY CHILDREN IN THE CHANCE THERE'S AN EMERGENCY AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO GET TO THEM BECAUSE I CAN ONLY ACCESS FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VAN. EVERYONE HAS TO LOAD UP FROM ONE SIDE OF THE VAN. AN INFANT CAR SEAT IS ALSO IN THE VAN.

MY VEHICLES DRIVE SHAFT FELL OFF WHILE MAKING A STOP AT A RED LIGHT, THE PINON NUT HAD COME LOOSE. IT WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC'S SHOP, MY DAD CAME AND REATTACHED IT. IT STILL MADE A WHIRRING SOUND, AT FIRST I WAS ON THE WAY TO THE MECHANIC FOR WHAT I THOUGH WAS A PINON SEAL LEAK.

POWER STEERING RUPTURED AND LEAKING, HAPPENS WHEN WEATHER BECAME COLDER. ALREADY A KNOWN ISSUE WITH OTHER MODELS. PLEASE FIND A SOLUTION I'M VERY UPSET THAT I HAVE A 2018, 30,000 MILES THAT HAS BEEN PARKED FOR WEEKS DUE TO A ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY FIXED.
