NHTSA complaint #11206627, filed 2019-05, 55,000 miles

“There is a defect in the engine electrical system that keeps burning parts out like light bulbs, engine coil packs, & dash components. The suspension in the rear squeeks so badly that you have to wear ear plugs to drive it. The engine smells of antifreeze leaking all the time and the breaks squeal and grind... Our dealer tries to fix things but keeps telling us that dodge has not come up with a fix for my problems as of yet. Dealer refuses to document repair attemps and gives us no paperwork!”

“I took the 2014 dodge Ram Promaster van to lithia dodge in eugene, oregon to do the recall work. They refused citing dodge corporate not allowing them to inspect the vehicle for possible dangerous and deadly situations related to the recalls. There are now four recalls = all of them life threatening recalls that must be performed asap!! I am now told I have to drive 2 hours 15 minutes one way to get service for my vehicle. That is impossible for me as I am elderly and cannot drive that far. …”
