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.
Truck shook for no real reason replaced tracking bar than shock stabliser. It would shake and I would have to pull over and stop to make it go away.replaced tires front and it went away for 10,000 miles than intermittently would return it showed up one day on a road I traveled all the time pulled over stopped than started up again next day went over the same spot no shake very odd truck ill never own a Dodge truck again sold truck for the bank pay off. Took a loss on this truck told the gentleman who bought it of the problem hope he has better luck than I did with it.
Repaired fuel injection system and charged me part of that which I assumed was covered under warranty seat belt has not been repaired they say it is not their problem but according to NHTSA, belts are manufacturer?S problem. Transmission: We were in traffic in March in houston tx when transmission decided not to work properly. Downshifting in traffic nearly causing a major accident.the Dodge place said it was the valve body which was not the problem at the time the band needed adjusting which cost $87 and they said it would cost $1300 to fix I pulled into traffic and it did it again 7 months later it is out of warranty so tried to remedy problem & ourself could not do. Called Dodge Corp. And was told to take to dealership to see if they could help us financially fix this. We did they said they would except $200. I said ok fix the problem then they called back and said since somebody else had put parts on it they would not fix it. I told them that before they started. So go figure. I consider this a safety issue just because of it down shifting in traffic alone but to no avail
I have had my vehicle back to the dealer for service several times due to coolant loss and odor in cab. They said, on at least two of the occasions, that they do not see a problem. On one occasion they did replace the thermostat but the problem persisted. Now the check engine light came on and the service dept says its the "intake manifold gasket". I asked if it was under warranty and was told no. I asked if the loss of coolant was due to this gasket failure they stated that the gasket had nothing to do with the cooling system.? I asked a friend of mine if the gasket defect could be the reason for the coolant loss and he advised me, most definitly. Needless to say, I needed the truck fixed, so I paid for the repair. Low and behold I'm still losing coolant.
