Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Latest Apr 23, 2026
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

battery pack control module, telematic box module, brake system control module, driver and passenger door latch module, ADAS camera module. I was driving on the freeway and all of a sudden, I lost all power (limp mode), a turtle light came on the dash then alot of other lights came on. Then as I'm trying to get off the freeway, I am on my brakes and it sounds like I was throttling and the power was full force. This is definitely a safety issue.

While driving on Route 130 in New Jersey on 7/6/26 at around noon I encountered a heavy rain storm. During this downpour I received warning messages about the emergency hood release being activated and that the car was entering limp mode with reduced propulsion. My car slowed to a crawl, luckily everyone was going slower thanks to the heavy rain and I was able to pull over to attempt to close the hood. It took around ten tries but I was finally able to get it to shut so I could drive home safely. This has happened before after a car wash so I suspect that there is some sort of electrical issue or short causing the hood to release when exposed to water.

1. car flashed text on dash "stop safely vehicle will shut off soon". this was when it was 'off' (vehicle was stuck not in park and it was unclear if engine was on or off, but could not shift gears or move car). I'm concerned the vehicle has electric failures and I drive a lot and with children on highways. Warnings for transmission, electric kept cycling. 2. safety was it was a big parking lot with families walking in front/ around my car with baseball fields in front for over 2 hours. 3. car is waiting for dealership to reproduce or confirm, but the car was towed yesterday but I was told its starting today. this car has multiple open cases for re-occuring problems with electric. 4. no prior warnings except intermittent service engine soon that would be on for a day, then off for a day a few times (had an appointment scheduled to assess but then this bigger problem occurred).

We have leased this car since May of 2025. It has been in the Dodge repair shop over a dozen times for the electrical system warning light coming on. It had to be towed tot he dealer twice for it, other times it was drivable to get it there. This car is a complete Lemon and we are trying to get Dodge/Stellantis to pay us or preferably to buy it back and they are stalling. The car is a danger to drive as the forward collision does not warn you or apply the brakes ever as it was supposed to do. The electrical problems continue and this car is not safe to drive and Dodge needs to be issuing a recall to get these off the road. We have filed a Lemon Law suit and they are not offering enough money for the problems the car has.

I was driving on a slower speed road and felt a jerk, my car lurched forward a little and I got a bunch various errors for break regen system, front park sense errors and a few other random faults. The car entered "turtle mode" signified by the turtle icon in my gauge cluster. This is the second time this has randomly happened, the first time happened two weeks prior as I was taking an off ramp off a highway. I have taken this vehicle in for repairs and updates before for unrelated issues but there hasn't been any solid solutions to the other various software issues with this vehicle. This is a major safety concern because I have not been able to reliably replicate this, my speed and control over acceleration is cut and not within my control fully. I am worried that this could occur when I'm at higher speeds. I have been able to safely park and turn the vehicle off and back on so it hasn't been inspected by police or anyone just yet due to no accidents occurring, only dealerships.

UPDATE: I have been trying to work with Gresham Dodge to return my car and trade it. They refuse to help me and Stellantis refuses to help me. They want me to eat all the money. They refuse to meet me half way on a new car. DO NOT PURCHASE A VEHICLE FROM THIS DEALERSHIP. You will eventually regret it. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and the US Consumer Protection Agency. UPDATE: The car has now been serviced nine times! Twice for the braking system, because we couldn’t stop, I almost got in an accident.iIt’s had many other issues! Still have never heard back from anyone at Gresham Dodge! Not one person! Stellantis refuses to take the car back. It’s been out of service over forty days all together over the six months I’ve had it. So, it sits in the driveway rotting. I will not drive it. I will not put my life or anyone else’s in danger. I’m making payments on a car I can’t drive! It’s imparitive that no one purchase from this slimly dealership! I’ll be reporting them to the BBB and the State Attorney General.Do not purchase your vehicle here. Sales are not knowledgeable on the cars they are selling. They just want a sale and you gone, so they can move on to the next person. I didn’t even have my car 24 hours and it had to go back for service. I will say, they were attentive, but only because they wanted a sale. They know nothing about how the cars functions. I got a text from the Service Advisor saying if I needed anything to let him know. Then a week later another problem popped up. I have text from the Service Advisor saying he would get me in on a specific day. We took the car in and he turned us away and said they were too busy. We wanted a fully loaded car. Sales never told us of any upgraded packages that the car could come with. We asked. They were only interested in offing what they had on the lot. I love the car, but this particular model comes with an upgraded package that I didn’t know about until having to watch You Tube videos to learn how to work
