NHTSA complaint #11395089, filed 2021-02, 26,018 miles“When putting in reverse the backup camera display goes multi color blur.this was about 20k then corrected itself when put in reverses the next time. Didn't think much about it. Now at 42 k its doing it more often. Took it to the dealer and frank at vacaville dodge tells me its out of warranty, when I had already seen there was a recall on this problem. I will document and take pics next time it does it.”
NHTSA complaint #11270913, filed 2019-10, 20,000 miles“After buying this vehicle I noticed that the plastic trim around instrument cluster is cocked to the point where it is very noticeable. Is it a safety issue no but it is an appearance issue. Took it to the dealer where I purchased it on 1/21/19. They said it was fixed it's not fixed. Was told nothing can be done about it. Took it in on 3/7/19 said they adjusted the steering wheel cover. That's not what is cocked.”
NHTSA complaint #11194685, filed 2019-04, 38 miles“I purchased the trucks used from a dealership rick hendrick in fayetteville, nc. In march of 2019. It only had 20,000 miles on it. Issue one was they sold it to me with parts that void warranty per chrysler and this was not disclosed up front. Main problem I had to threaten to sue in order to get money back to get tires with the correct class rating as I could not tow with it. Next issue was they would not warranty bad wheel bearing or breaks at 37000 miles which per them was due to a lift kit. There is no lift kit on the truck but someone install a leveling kit. …”
