DODGE Complaints

WAS SITTING IN A DRIVE THROUGH AND MY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT HEADREST IN FRONT POPPED OUT! CAN NOT GET IT TO GO BACK ON! THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STAND STILL ON THE OUTSIDE OF HIS DRIVEWAY, WHEN APPROACHING THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE HEAD REST WAS DETACHED FROM THE SEAT. OPELIKA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM LOCATED AT 801 COLUMBUS PKWY, OPELIKA, AL 36801, (334) 749-8113, WAS CONTACTED AND MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,677.

LOCK ACTUATOR IN PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT FUNCTION, BUZZES LOUDLY. WHETHER VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR MOVING, LOCK FAILS.

CAME OUT TO MY CAR AND THE DRIVER SIDE HEADREST WAS DEPLOYED. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN NO VEHICLE ACCIDENTS. MY MINIVAN WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY.

IN THE MIDST OF ME DRIVING ACROSS THE INTERSECTION... MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY... I HAD TO GET OF THE ROAD BECAUSE MY WHEEL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS DISCONNECTED FROM THEY ENTIRE CAR... DUE TO SEVER CORROSION, YU UNDER VEHICLE.. WHEN I SAW PHOTOS... I WAS TERRIFED!! MY LIFE WAS ON JEOPARDY.. THE FIRST DAY I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE... I AM SENDING PHOTOS TO HELP SUPPORT MY CLAIMS..

MY WIFE WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND GOT HIT IN THE BACK OF HEAD BY THE HEADREST. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN IT DEPLOYED VIOLENTLY FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER. WE HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE SO THERE'S NO REASON THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. IT GAVE HER A PRETTY GOOD HEADACHE TOO.

THE HEAD REST POPPED APART WHILE CAR PARKED, WITH ALL THE INTERIOR MECHANICAL PARTS EXPOSES.

THE CAR IS POORLY WINTERIZED, CAUSING MY ENTIRE FRAME TO RUST AND COMPLETELY FALL, THEREFORE LEAVING MY MOTOR SITTING ON TOP OF MY RATCH AND PINION AND ALMOST RESULTING IN MY DEATH. THIS CAR ISN'T OLD ENOUGH TO BE EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS OR THE AMOUNT OF PARTS THAT RUST OUT OF IT.

THE DASHBOARD HAS DISINTEGRATED CAUSING EXPOSURE TOO WIRING, INTERMITTENT DIAGNOSED AND UNDIAGNOSED PROBLEMATIC WIRING ISSUES WITH INTERMITTENT 'NO BUS' CAUSING LOSS OF POWER ON FREEWAY. DEALER UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO FURTHER DIAGNOSE ISSUE UNLESS ENTIRE DASHBOARD PLASTIC IS REPLACED UNFORTUNATELY IT IS THE SAME PLASTIC THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE ACCORDING TO DEALER AND ACCORDING TO SEVERAL INTERNET SEARCHES THAT THE DASHBOARD PLASTIC WAS NOT MANUFACTURED PROPERLY CAUSING PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL HARM TO TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DODGE /CHRYSLER OWNERS. WHEN MY TRUCK LOST ALL POWER I WAS DRIVING IN FAST LANE OF FWY. ALL POWER WAS GONE INCLUDING BRAKES AND STEERING. HAD TO USE MUSCLE POWER TO STEER AND LET VEHICLE SLOW ENOUGH TO USE FORCE TO BRAKE. MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE INFORMED THE NHTSA IN REGARDS TO THE DASHBOARD. THE NHTSA WOULD ONLY INVESTIGATE IF I HAD DIED.

OUR SLIDING DOOR HAS SEIZED UP IN THE LOCK POSITION. WE ARE UNABLE TO OPEN IT AT ALL. AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SLIDING DOOR ACTUATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS ON ONE SIDE BUT NOW THE OTHER SIDE IS SOUNDING LIKE IT MAY GO AS WELL. HAVING DOORS WE CAN NOT OPEN IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE WE ARE COMFORTABLE DRIVING WITH OUR CHILDREN AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS A 2016 DODGE CARAVAN AND JUST BROKE 60K MILES. AVERAGE FIX IS OVER $1100 AND THE MECHANICS ARE ALL TO FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE.
