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.
Transmission defective. When put into reverse it made a loud banging noise. Shifted harshly from second to third gear. The head gasket blew and had to be replaced. The brakes squealed for no apparent reason. The camshaft seal leaked oil and had to be replaced. Also, the valve cover gasket had to be replaced because of an oil leak.
I bought the car (1995) used in 1998. A few months later, the master cylinder went out in road construction nearly causing an accident. Had to replace calipers, rotors, brakes and master cylinder. I had a warranty but was told it was not covered. It cost me 1000 dollars. Two months later, I had to replace the brakes again. Had continuous brake noise throughout the next year with a couple more added brake replacements. In Dec. Of 2000, had to replace brake booster. Costing me another 500 dollars in repairs. I am scared to death to drive it. On Jan. 12 of 2001 the ABS light came on and stayed on. I called to see what the worst case scenario would be and I was told 1000 dollars to fix a sensor!!! I want Dodge to pay for the on going brake problem. This is a very serious problem and should be addressed. I have come so close to getting into accidents from the failures of the brake system!! this is a life threatening safety feature that should never had any problems besides the normal wear and tear of the brakes. I am afraid to drive it. Please respond and tell me if there have been any recalls. I was told there was a service bulletin on the brake booster and now I want Dodge to pay for it. Thank you.
Consumer states the he has been having problems with the anti- lock brake system for over a year. When you braking and turning at the same time, ABS activate, causing loss of control/vibration, also replaced master cylinder/accelerator pedal.
ABS system failure, excessively brake pedal travel, vehicle vibrates when braking non traction surfaces (e.g. gravel, dirt). Tt consumer has been told problem is with the master cylinder.
