Am smells as if wires are burning and vehicle turns off whilst driving causing me to nearly hit a pole in one instance. Car will shut off also whilst parked or when reversing to park. Emergency Brake light come on at random times during driving as well. Or the seatbelt light will come on whilst seatbelt is engaged.
Van is driven a few thousand miles per year since we purchased. Routine maintenance up kept and has just over 100K miles. Replaced coils, plugs as routine for maintenance but having a Cylinder 2 misfire, then it became #6 and now is "multiple random misfire" codes. vehicle shutters dangerously when driving and engine light comes on intermittently. EVERY person I know with this pentastar v6 has had identical problems!
When I pump gas in the tank. It keeps stopping and it will not allow me to put more gas in the tank. Also the gas hand on the dashboard stays at half full. I don’t know how much gas is really in the tank. And electrical the passenger window will not let down on the driver side. I can’t let the window down from the driver side.
Received a p0302 code from trying to remote start the car have changed the spark plug and ignition coil for cylinder 2 and the code is still there.
Check engine light came on. Vehicle would shake and have trouble accelerating when I put my foot on the gas pedal, it was worse if gone above 45 MPH. Vehicle was sent to mechanic for diagnosis and repair. P0302 code was read for #2 fuel cylinder misfire. PCV valve, Coil pack, All spark plugs, & Fuel injector were replaced. Check engine light is still on. Vehicle cannot be operated under mechanics safety recommendation. There is still a cylinder 2 misfire. Car can stall at anytime if operated. Dodge dealership have been notified and said there are no recalls. Warranty only covers up to 60,000 for power train issues. I’ve called another shop as well for a 3rd opinion, the engine has been failing in many vehicles with the same code.
Cranks but no fuel fix. Possible TIPM fuel pump relay issue.
ON THE FILLER NECK, WHEN I PUT THE FUEL NOZZLE IN TO FILL UP MY VAN THE FILLER NECK IS LOOSE. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES AND HAVE NEVER RUN INTO THIS PROBLEM. ON THE POWER TRAIN ,WHEN CLIMBING A HILL IT SLOWS DOWN AND I GO TO GIVE IT GAS AND IT BOGGS DOWN, LIKE SPUTTERS. IT MAKES LIKE A CLUNCKING IN THE BACK OF THE VAN. ALSO THE HOOD HAS COME UP ON ME 3 TIMES. THIS LAST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY DID NOT CHECK IT OUT. I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE LATCH POPPED LOOSE AND MADE THE HOOD COME UP. I WAS GOING ABOUT 45 MILES AN HOUR.
CAR WAS STATIONARY. DECIDED TO GO INTO ANOTHER LANE SO WHILE TURNING INTO OTHER LANE, DEPRESSED GAS PEDAL FIRMLY AND IT STUCK TO THE FLOOR REVVING UP THE ENGINE TO WHERE II IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED THE BRAKES ON BUT STILL HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE WHILE ENTERING THE FREEWAY FROM AN ONRAMP WHERE I "UNSTUCK" THE PEDAL BY WEDGING MY FOOT UNDER THE SIDE OF THE PEDAL AND PULLING OUT. I THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE TIME THING AND DISMISSED IT. THE FREEWAY WAS PRETTY EMPTY. THIS NEW CIRCUMSTANCE WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AS I WAS AT A STOP IN TRAFFIC AND THIS HAPPENING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I CONSIDER IT TO BE DEFECTIVE SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF FROM THE MANUFACTURE.*DT *TR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
