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.
The battery and traction control lights went on. A smell like nail polish remover followed by white smoke came from under the hood. After pulling over, the hood was opened and white smoke came from the passenger side, not the drivers side where the batter is located. After cooling down for about 45 minutes, the car had now power. The fob, power locks, lights, everything was dead. Unknown cause, need to have the car towed for an estimate and cause.
Over the last 2 years I have been to the dealership and numerous other mechanics in an attempt to diagnose the problem. Here is the problem..... if the vehicle is not started daily the battery is drained and the vehicle does not start. I have had an occurrence of the vehicle not starting after a few hours. I have replaced the battery 3 times in the past 2 years and had the dealership tell me they could not find a problem. There are plenty of complaints online about this same issue and after calling dodge itself have received no valid info other than to report here. Here is one website with a lot of complaints just to start. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t36017_ds846706 This issue should have been recalled and fixed a long time ago evidently. There are currently under 150000 miles on my vehicle. One of the people reported that the dealership told them to use a trickle charger on a new car..... this is a unacceptable resolution. I will be posting this website for others to contact you in hopes that it is realized this is a true recall issue.
I have had trouble with heat every winter for the past four years. I have paid thousands of dollars on this every winter and will work for that season only.
My car is throwing off a check engine light an it indicates it's my catalytic converter, my engine has an knocking sound also, and when I apply pressure on my brakes there's a delay of stopping. While I'm driving city/highway.
My AWD light is on and when I was driving my SUV rear wheels spin my SUV around in the middle of the highway and I almost caused an accident. On highway 84 going toward Mississippi.
Over heating and running hotter than usual. Unusual smell from engine when accelerating quickly. Popping when making sharp turns. Air conditioner turning on and off or up and down randonly
Driving down the highway or street, car completely shuts off, causing loss of brakes and power steering. Will restart after several attempts but is dangerous on the interstate or while passing or driving down the highway. Has happened on several occasions. Mechanic code pulls dead battery but battery changed and still shuts off.
The passenger side heat stopped blowing warm and became only cold air. Found out by having heater core replaced that its because of casting sand left over on engine block and the angle of heater core causes it to buildup and prevent the heat from the core into the passenger side. New heater core already clogged no heat on either side. When they replaced it was Dodge dealer and they flushed everything they said.
I have had my speed censor and wheel bearing repaired twice very closely together and it now needs done again. My ABS, traction, and AWD lights are all on. When they are all on, I have no traction at all and slide all over the place. It is very unsafe and I feel like my car is a death trap. I have put over $10,000 into my car in less than 3 years for unnecessary maintenance.
Coolant was low so it was filled with coolant. The reservoir was low again the very same day and the car was overheating (as well as the ac not working properly and blew hot air even when using cold) on the highway, barely making it to destination. The first diagnosis was an air vacuum caused a leak. The problem keeps reoccurring after the supposed fix.
I was driving my 2012 Dodge Journey and my car power just shut down and it won't start. The brake pedal was hard and stiff.my car is completely disabled had to get it tow to my house. I tried to start the car it's not starting at all no peer no lights nothing completely dead
Coolant leak under intake.. repair shop said he had same identical vehicle come in less than a month ago same concern.. vehicle overheated and could smell something burning after hours of labor service manager sealed and replaced the hose. But says to check see if there was a recall since he had another vehicle come in.
I've seen there has been a recall on the ABS unfortunately my vehicle was made a month later. My ABS light, break light, air bag light and the car slippery light is on.
Radio goes out and vehicle not able to be used all controls in head unit complained about it 6 times and still nothing cant operate lights and safety equiptment
Over the last month my car will all of a sudden die while I am driving it. When it happens I lose power steering and brakes. I am not able to get out of traffic. My vehicle will go from 65 mph to 0 mph in seconds and stop where I may be. It has happened numerous time on the highway. This week it started to happen while on main roads. When it happens the check engine light will come on for a short time and the car will continue to try and restart itself but by the time I get the car to my mechanic the check engine light is off and not diagnostic codes are found. The car is unsafe to drive and the defect is unknown.
