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.
Check engine light came on. Vehicle would shake and have trouble accelerating when I put my foot on the gas pedal, it was worse if gone above 45 MPH. Vehicle was sent to mechanic for diagnosis and repair. P0302 code was read for #2 fuel cylinder misfire. PCV valve, Coil pack, All spark plugs, & Fuel injector were replaced. Check engine light is still on. Vehicle cannot be operated under mechanics safety recommendation. There is still a cylinder 2 misfire. Car can stall at anytime if operated. Dodge dealership have been notified and said there are no recalls. Warranty only covers up to 60,000 for power train issues. I-??ve called another shop as well for a 3rd opinion, the engine has been failing in many vehicles with the same code.
On the filler neck, when I put the fuel nozzle in to fill up my van the filler neck is loose. I have owned many vehicles and have never run into this problem. On the power train, when climbing a hill it slows down and I go to give it gas and it boggs down, like sputters. It makes like a cluncking in the back of the van. Also the hood has come up on me 3 times. This last time I took it to the dealer they did not check it out. I was going down the road and the latch popped loose and made the hood come up. I was going about 45 miles an hour.
Car was stationary. Decided to go into another lane so while turning into other lane, depressed gas pedal firmly and it stuck to the floor revving up the engine to where II immediately slammed the brakes on but still hit the car in front of me. This happened before while entering the freeway from an onramp where I "unstuck" the pedal by wedging my foot under the side of the pedal and pulling out. I thought it was a one time thing and dismissed it. The freeway was pretty empty. This new circumstance was completely different as I was at a stop in traffic and this happening is extremely dangerous. I consider it to be defective should be taken care of from the manufacture.
