I OWN A 2002 DODGE RAM P U, CUMMINS DIESEL, AND MANUAL TRANS.. AND HAVE REPLACED THE TPU " THROTTLE POSITIONING UNIT" (SENSOR) 3 TIMES NOW, @ A COST OF OVER 700.00 EACH TIME. NOT ONLY IS THIS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR, BUT A POTENTIALLY AND VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THESE TRUCKS. WHAT OCCURS IS A FLUCTUATION , AND THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE ACCELERATOR WITH THE PEDAL, FROM A FLUCTUATING ABILITY, TO AN ALL OUT LOSS OF POWER WHATSOEVER... THE ENGINE WILL ACCELERATE, AND THE IDLE WILL RISE CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION, THEN EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE WILL NOT RESPOND AT ALL TO THE PEDAL... I USE MY PICKUP TO HAUL AND TOW MANY DIFFERENT TRAILERS, INCLUDING OUR 40 FT. 5TH WHEEL, AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WHEN I LOOSE POWER ALTOGETHER. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS UNIT... SENSOR, AS IT IS NOT ONLY EXPENSIVE, IT IS MORE IMPORTANTLY VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

HAS CAUSED COMPOUNDED PROBLEMS WITH INJECTORS.

FUEL GAUGE READS HALF FULL AND IT IS EMPTY. I HAVE PUT IN 6 FUEL SENDING UNITS AND IT WILL LAST 6 TO 9 MONTHS AND THE GAUGE WILL SLOWLY START TO SHOW FUEL IN TANK AND IT IS EMPTY. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL DIESELS. LAST TIME I WAS RAN OUT OF FUEL IN THE FAST LANE OF I-75 IN FLORIDA. CARS WOUND UP IN THE MEDIAN AND SHOULDER CAUSE MY TRUCK WAS DEAD IN THE FAST LANE. GAUGE READ A LITTLE OVER HALF A TANK OF FUEL. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. *TR

I HAVE A DODGE NEON SXT 2003, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO PEP BOYS TO HAVE THE COMPUTER PUT ON IT AND IT WOULD TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT AND BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALER. I DIDN'T DO THAT, I TOOK IT SOME WHERE ELSE TO HAVE IT CHECKED. IT WAS THE PURGE SOLENOID THAT HAD GONE BAD. SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY ASKED ME WHAT I FOUND OUT WITH IT, I TOLD THEM I DID BUT I WASN'T TELLING THEM WHAT I FOUND OUT, IT WAS THEIR JOB TO FIND OUT AND WHEN THEY FIND OUT TO LET ME KNOW SO I WOULD SEE IF THE PROBLEM MATCH WITH WHAT I FOUND OUT. THEY CLAIMED THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM . A MONTH LATER I TOOK IT BACK BECAUSE IT STILL WAS TAKING TO MUCH GAS TO FILL UP THE VEHICLE, THIS TIME THEY FOUND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG THEY DID FIND IT WAS THE PURGE SOLENOID THAT HAD GONE BAD. I HAVE A 7-YEAR 70,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE NEON. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WASN'T COVERED AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 479.00 FOR THE PART NOT INCLUDING THE LABOR. DID I MENTION THAT THE NEON IS A 2003 AND WHEN THE SOLENOID WENT THE CAR ONLY HAD 28,000 MILES ON IT AND RIGHT NOW IT HAS ONLY 31,500. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS CAR FOR THAT PART. I AM LOOKING INTO BUYING A HONDA OR A TOYOTA. I HAVE HAD IT WITH CAR. AS MANY REPAIRS THAT I HAVE HAD DONE I THINK I WOULD HAVE TWO CARS IN MY DRIVEWAY BY NOW. *TR

I HAVE HAD ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH MY 1996 DODGE NEON SPORT, IT HAS BEEN INOPERABLE FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO, DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND STALLING WHICH I BELIEVE STEM FROM THE WIRING HARNESS. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED A FEW TIMES, THE A/C REPLACED, FUEL INJECTION ACTS UP AND THE FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES, MY TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED SLIPPING, POWER STEERING AND EXHAUST ARE LEAKING, NUMEROUS OIL LEAKS, REAR LIGHTS/ BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE NOT WORKED IN OVER A YEAR, DRIVERSIDE WINDOW BROKE ALONG THE EXTENDING ARM INSIDE OF THE DOOR FRAME, TRUNK RELEASE IS BROKEN AND MY CRUISE CONTROL IS BROKEN! FOR THE LAST 4MONTHS MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING AT ATLANTA DODGE LLC! JUST AFTER LEAVING IT WITH THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I RECEIVED A CALL SAYING I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY AND UNTIL IT WAS REPLACED FOR $180 THEY COULD NOT DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK FOR ANY OTHER PROBLEMS!! THE BATTERY WAS NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD AND WORKED FINE WHEN I LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP!! BUT IN HOPES OF ANY DECENT SERVICE I BOUGHT ANOTHER BATTERY FROM ADVANCED AUTO PARTS $40 AND TOOK IT IN MYSELF. DURING THIS VISIT I REMINDED THEM THAT MY MAKE AND MODEL CAR WAS UNDER A RECALL, THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS NOT!! I GAVE THEM THE NHTSA RECALL DOCUMENTATION AND WAS TOLD THAT IT DIDN'T APPLY TO MY CAR, ONLY TO THE NEONS FROM THE PLANT IN NEW MEXICO!! JUST AFTER THANKSGIVING I DECIDED TO CALL THEM TO FIND OUT WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON. I SPOKE WITH BRIAN THE CS REP. AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THE MECHANICS COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND REFUSED TO RESEARCH ANY FURTHER UNLESS I AGREED TO SPEND NO LESS THAN $250 TOWARDS THE REPAIRS!! IT'S NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT THE SAME PARTS ARE IN NEED OF REPAIRS AS 15,000 OTHER NEONS -- REGARDLESS OF WHICH PLANT THE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLIED, THE DEFECTS LIE IN THE PLACEMENT AND/OR MANUFACTURING OF THE FAULTY PARTS AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER ANY RELATING RECALLS! *NM UPDATED 12/1505. *JB

I HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE AT LEAST 3 GAS FUEL PUMPS FOR MY 94 DODGE DAKOTA FOR THREE YEARS IN A ROW. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DODGE DEALER EACH TIME AN IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM EVERY TIME. I ONLY USE ONE GAS STATION WHEN I'M NOT TRAVELING AND JUST IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD . I HAVE USED THE SAME TYPE OF GAS 1993 PREMIUM AND GAS STATION AMOCO SINCE OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL AND HAS NOT CHARGED ME THIS TIME FOR THE WORK. BUT THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND OUT WHY I'M HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. HOW CAN I FIND OUT IF THERE IS SOME OTHER DEFECTIVE PART THAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM, OR FIND OUT IF THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE GAS FUEL PUMPS FOR THAT VEHICLE. I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ON YOUR SITE.*AK

I OWN A 1994 DODGE INTREPID ES THAT HAS HAD A SERIES OF FUEL LEAKS AT THE FUEL RAIL/ INJECTOR AREA. THE O-RINGS WERE REPLACED TWICE IN PRIOR YEARS. LAST WEEK 4 INJECTORS AND THEIR SEALS WERE REPLACE (AT MY EXPENSE) AND ONCE AGAIN TONIGHT THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF RAW GASOLINE. THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE POTENTIAL PROBLEM AND SEEMS RELATE TO THE SWITCH TO DIFFERENT GASOLINE FORMULATIONS REQUIRED HERE FOR SUMMER DRIVING. THE CAR IS AGAIN GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. *NLM
