This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Evap has system has a small leak. My gas is leaking from the opposite side of the gas tank.the check engine light just came on. The gas leaked 2 weeks ago and now the check engine light is on and I keep smelling gas.the car was stationary.
My vehicle had problems just after the 1 year mark. In October 2018 filled the gas tank and began to pull away from the pump, at this time the car was in "drive" but down-shifted into what felt like neutral. An error code ran across the dash saying "push P to park, select desired gear". I put it in park and turned it off then on again. This happened twice but it still did it. I parked the car, turned it off and had it towed- dealer said it was fine, and wasn't throwing any codes and let me drive away. Not 5 miles down the road and it started smelling of gas and was riding very rough and backfiring. I pull over to the nearest next dealership and they notice that gas is pouring out the back of the car. Diagnosed as an 'overfilled charcoal canister' stating that I overfilled the gas tank. Was repaired, I had to submit to have it covered under warranty. I get the vehicle back and not 2 months later the exact same issue after filling tank with gas. Gas is pouring out the back, gas gauge is going crazy rising and falling and finally dropping off as gas pours out the back. Had it towed again and repaired at a 3rd dealership. Given back to me and told it was covered under warranty but that we overfilled the tank. Happened a third time not 3 months later and finally the entire gas tank was replaced. Brought it home and was told I should be able to fill it, as the first two times it was likely a sensor in the gas tank causing the issues. The car smelled of gas again when I stopped to fill the tank on the way back from the dealership. My husband pulled the seats back and had to soak up the overflow from the canister himself- I don't fill the tank all the way anymore for fear of a fire. My daughter complains of headaches when in the car- wondering if its related to the pooling gas under her carseat. Very concerned that this is not being taken seriously by Dodge.
Recently I've been having some issues with my vehicle with it turning on and off when I first go to start it up. Now I am having a bigger issue because the car decided to turn off on me multiple times while driving. Luckily I am fully aware of what is happening to me while driving. I've taken it to Dodge and they seem to not car or even try to figure out what is wrong because I can not reenact the problem, even though I have video of it not starting up in the beginning. Simply because there are no codes that come up, which of course makes it easier on them to just push the customer away. Now in my opinion I feel like this can be a life and death situation if someone like my mother or my grandma own the vehicle because they would now know how to control such a heavy vehicle. I believe Dodge should look deeper into this problem considering the fact that there are a lot of forums online suggesting a problem.
Shortly after I purchased a new vehicle I noticed a strong fuel smell outside and inside my car and when the air was on the smell was coming through the air vents. I brought it in the dealership and they smelled the gas outside the car. They pulled up my backseats and there was a puddle of gas that leaked from the fuel pump. They replaced the fuel pump and a few days after getting my car back when I filled up my tank again the same thing happened and this time it was leaking gas from the bottom of my car. After that 2nd repair I got my car back again a few days later after I filled up my tank and the same thing happened. The 3rd time they ended up replacing the gas tank. The car still has a strong gas smell that causes me to have headaches, dizziness, and nausea. I do not feel safe in my car because lately since I've been having these problems with the car leaking gas I've been getting alot of static shock when I touch my car.
