“In october 2018 we had a frontend collision on the highway with a deer. Since then the air suspension ride has not worked properly. It has been in for major repairs numerous times. The dodge dealer sends us home hoping that they guessed the problem correctly. To no avail. The problem returns. We call the hotline and play phone tag with a representative.”
NHTSA complaint #11242460, filed 2019-08, 104,860 miles“When I start my Jeep it turns over then immediately stalls out . This happens every single time I start my Jeep. That is several times a day . I believe it is the tipm. Has been going on for months I called up the Jeep dealership and they said there was no recall on it.”
NHTSA complaint #11182331, filed 2019-02, 98,500 miles“While driving the vehicle stopped dead. It would not restart. Had it towed to local dealer. The tipm (total integrated power module) and both fuel pumps were out! Part was back ordered for a month. I was without my vehicle almost 4 weeks. Drove it two days on a trip and the constant velocity joint went out!”
NHTSA complaint #10549314, filed 2013-10, 44,000 miles“We were driving last saturday, we were driving onto a busy main street the car was in motion, another made a illegal move and swireved into our vehicle, we honked but the horn wouldn't work. We stopped the vehicle. The other driver apologized with a wave of their hand. We started to drive again, trying to use the horn with no success. About 15 later the horn started to sound. The horn has stopped and started. This vehicle has had numerous recalls.”
NHTSA complaint #10788310, filed 2015-11, 104,000 miles“This is the worse vehicle I have ever bought! Never again! I been stranded several times. As soon as I get a jump and bring it to have it checked the mechanic states nothing is wrong with the alternator or the battery. No codes pop up as anything is wrong. I've been in a life threatening situation where my car stalled while I was driving on a main road. The only way I could get the car to work was to turn it off and start it again. Then it was fine. I called the dealership and they said they haven't heard of anything as far as recalls. That has happened at least 3 times. …”
