DODGE Complaints

THE VEHICLE STOPS UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A BUSY STREET AND HIGHWAY ALMOST GETTING INTO TWO ACCIDENTS WITH FAMILY MEMBERS IN MY VEHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REVERSE OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, THE STEERING CEASED WITH THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SUBJECTED TO AN UNSTATED RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO MORITZ CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (9101 CAMP BOWIE W BLVD #2, FORT WORTH, TX 76116, (817) 696-2100). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,161.

ALL INTERNAL LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS START FLICKERING THE TRUNK OPENS UP BY ITSELF THE CAR STARTS BY ITSELF SHUTS OFF WHEN RUNNING. AFTER DRIVING FOR UP TO 30 TO 30 MINUTES TO 1 HOUR THE CAR START GOING INTO THIS MODE WHERE IT WITH THE HORN WOULD BE THE DOORS WOULD JUST UNLOCK BY HIMSELF THE IF I'M PARKING MY CAR FOR THE NIGHT THE CAR I JUST START UP BY ITSELF WITHOUT THE KEY BEING IN THE CAR IF I'M DRIVING THE CAR A SHUT OFF IN MID DRIVE AND A PARKING AT THE RED LIGHT THESE ARE ALL THE ISSUES THAT I'M HAVING WITH THIS VEHICLE THE HORN THE ALARM COMES ON WITHOUT THE KEY IN IT.

VENT DOORS KEEP FAILING, DRIVER SIDE VENT GETS HOT WHILE ONE OF THE VENTS IN THE MIDDLE IS WARM AND THE OTHER IS COOL. PASSANGER SIDE IS COLD AS CAN BE. THIS IS WHILE USING THE HEATER. I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE ONLINE TALK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO SEEN REPORTS ON NHTSA ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES. I ALSO HAVE REPLACED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES.

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, A/C & SEAT HEATERS WON'T WORK. COLD START IN MORNING, AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OFF, A/C WORKS & SEAT HEATERS OK. TURN ENGINE OFF, NEXT START OF ENGINE, AIRBAG LIGHT ON, NO A/C OR SEAT HEATERS UNTIL NEXT MORNING. FIRST TIME THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IN STORE PARKING LOT. AIRBAG LIGHT ON DURING TRIP HOME. AIRBAG INOPERABLE WHEN LIGHT IS ON.

THIS PROBLEM BEGAN ABOUT A MONTH AGO. WE HAD LOCKED THE DOOR AND WE HEARD A LOUD BUZZING SOUND COME FROM THE RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR. NOW EVERY TIME WE OPEN ,LOCK OR UNLOCK THE CAR IT MAKES A LOUD BUZZING SOUND ON THAT SIDE.

THE DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 2013 HAS 147,631 MILES ON IT, AND WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS IT OCCASIONALLY TOOK 3-7 SECONDS TO START THE ENGINE. THEN THE FUSE/RELAY SHORTED OUT FOR THE FUEL PUMP BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY ELECTRICAL FUSE BOX, CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO BURN OUT. A NEW FUEL PUMP WAS INSTALLED INTO THE GAS TANK, AND A DODGE FACTORY PART CALLED AN EXTERNAL WIRE KIT WAS HARD-WIRED INTO THE WIRES FOR THE FUEL PUMP SO THAT IT COULD BYPASS THE PERMANENTLY BURNT-OUT FUEL PUMP FUSE/RELAY PART OF THE FUSE BOX.

MY PROBLEM WITH MY CAR IS THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS EXPLODED WITHOUT HAVING A CAR OR A CAR THAT CRASHED ME I WAS DRIVING MY NORMAL CAR AND SUDDENLY THE AIR BAGS EXPLODED. AND THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE THING IS THAT IT IS A FACTORY FAULT BECAUSE THE DAY THE AIRBAGS EXPLODED THEY EXPLODED I HAD NO PASSENGER NEXT TO ME AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND SEAT BELTS ALL DAMAGED AND MY PASSENGER WINDOW IS ALL BROKEN. I HAVE ALREADY CALLED THE DODGE DEPARTMENT AND THEY DO NOT GIVE ME ANY RESULTS SINCE AN IMPECTOR FROM THE DODGE COMPANY ALREADY WENT TO SEE MY CAR AND HE SAID THAT IT IS A FACTORY FAULT AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY CAN'T HELP ME WITH THIS FAULT I MAKE MY CAR AND I CAN'T DRIVE IT AND I'M PAYING FOR THE CAR AND I KEEP LOSING MY MONEY WITHOUT USING MY CAR PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE

EVERY 15K MILES OR SO THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER STICKS AND DESTROYS THE PADS AND ASSOCIATED ROTOR. I HAVE REPLACED THAT SPECIFIC CALIPER AND BOTH ROTORS THREE TWICE ALREADY. AFTER AROUND 25K TO 30K MILES I CAN NO LONGER GET THE CALIPER TO UNFREEZE. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 93K MILES ON IT AND I AM ABOUT TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. ONCE THE OUTSIDE PAD GETS TO LESS THAN 30% THE WHEEL TRIES TO LOCK UP. ONCE WHILE DRIVING IN THE COUNTRY MY WIFE NEARLY CAUGHT THE CAR ON FIRE BECAUSE OF OVERHEATING BRAKES. THIS FORM ONLY ALLOWS FOR ONE ENTRY, BUT AS STATED THIS HAS HAPPENED A MULTITUDE OF TIMES. THE WORST BEING WHEN THE ROTOR WAS GLOWING RED BEFORE IT WAS NOTICED BY ANOTHER PERSON AT A GAS STATION. THAT HAPPENED IN 2015.

THE IGNITION SWITCH AND KEY FOB IS NOT WORKING AT ALL. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND WILL NOT START. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY.
