1994 Dodge Sport Utility Interior & seats Problems

I ORDERED A NEW FOB FOR MY 2009 DODGE JOURNEY SINCE I ONLY HAD ONE AND IT FELL AND BROKE. IT COST ME $257.46, WHICH INCLUDED PROGRAMMING. WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP ON SEPT 4, 2013, IT WOULD START THE CAR BUT NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS. I TOOK IT BACK THE NEXT MORNING. I RECEIVED A CALL LATER & WAS TOLD THE KEY COULD NOT BE PROGRAMMED AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP WAS ON HOLD WITH CHRYSLER FOR OVER AN HOUR & WAS FINALLY TOLD THERE WAS AN ISSUE THEY WERE AWARE OF WITH THE WIN MODULE. APPARENTLY IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING QUITE FREQUENTLY. SO MUCH SO THAT THERE WAS A BACKORDER OF OVER A MONTH FOR THE MODULE! SOME CALLS WERE MADE & A MODULE WAS FINALLY SENT & RECEIVED ON SEPT. 9, 2013. IT WAS INSTALLED ON SEPT. 10, 2013 BUT WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP THE FOB WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS, THE PANIC BUTTON WOULD GET THE LIGHTS FLASHING BUT NO HONKING AND THE REMOTE START WOULD NOT WORK! THE CAR DID START WHEN THE FOB WAS INPUTTED. IT COST ME ANOTHER $299.71 TO ORDER & INSTALL THE MODULE. IN THE MEANTIME I HAD TO BORROW CARS FROM RELATIVES AS THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT PROVIDE A LOANER CAR. I RESEARCHED THE WIN MODULE ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT IT IS INDEED AN ISSUE HAPPENING TO OTHERS! I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD REIMBURSE ME THE COST OF THE MODULE AND INSTALLATION OF IT PLUS THE COST OF THE FOB SIMPLY FOR THE AGGRAVATION AND STRESS OF HAVING TO BORROW VEHICLES FROM OTHERS WHILE THIS ISSUE WAS BEING CORRECTED. IT WAS A SIMPLE CASE OF PROGRAMMING A NEW FOB THAT TURNED INTO A NIGHTMARE OF ALMOST A WEEK. IT COULD HAVE BEEN LONGER BUT THANKS TO GOD IT WASN'T!! *TR

ON 2/22/10 I TOOK MY DODGE NITRO SLT IN FOR THE WINDSHIELD WASHER RECALL TO THE DEALERSHIP. EVERY SINCE THE WIPER WASHER (T.I.P.M) WAS REPLACED I'VE HAD THE MIL LIGHT COME ON THREE TIMES, STALLING AND THE PANIC ALARM GOING OFF WHEN I USE THE REMOTE TO UNLOCK THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TAKEN THE NITRO ON THE ROAD TO RESET THE MIL LIGHT, INTERMITTENTLY THE PANIC ALARM STILL GOES OUT, THEY'RE REPLACED THE T.I.P.M ON 5/19/10; SUGGESTING THAT I GOT A BAD ONE A DAY LATER THE PANIC ALARM WENT OFF AGAIN. THE ONLY WAY IT STOPPED WAS TO DRIVE IT. *TR

SUNROOF OF 2008 DODGE NITRO SXT LEAKS AFTER IT RAINS. THE PROBLEM STARTED ONE MONTH AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED (MARCH 2009). DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND SOURCE OF THE LEAK ON FIRST OCCURENCE SO SUNROOF GLASS WAS ADJUSTED. SECOND OCCURENCE WAS IN APRIL OF 2009. LEAK WAS FINALLY DISCOVERED BY DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND ALL COMPONENTS DEALING WITH THE SUNROOF WAS "REPLACED". THIRD OCCURENCE OF SAME PROBLEM OCCURED IN EARLY JANUARY 2010. WATER THAT LEAKS INTO THE VEHICLE NOT ONLY WILL EVENTUALLY RUIN THE INTERIOR BUT THE WATER LEAKS IN AROUND A SET OF MAP LIGHTS LOCATED JUST ABOVE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. THIS COMBINATION OF WATER AND ELECTRICITY COULD RESULT IN SOMEONE BEING ELECTROCUTED OR THE VEHICLE CATCHING ON FIRE AS A RESULT OF A SHORTAGE. *CN

JANUARY 2ND MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DID THE SAME. I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP AND MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE REGULATOR, IT WOULD BE 300.00 TO FIX IT, HE SAID YEP THAT'S COMMON IN JEEPS. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS A 2002 JEEP, SAME PROBLEM WITH ALL FOUR.... I'M A SINGLE MOTHER, SINGLE GRANDMOTHER THAT CANT SPARE THAT KIND OF MONEY. YESTERDAY 04/14/2009 I WALKED OUT TO MY JEEP TO DISCOVER THE WINDOW WAS DOWN. THOUGHT WOW I DON'T REMEMBER LEAVING MY WINDOW DOWN BECAUSE I HAVE SOUND EQUIPMENT I WOULD HATE TO HAVE STOLEN. IT WAS CHILLY OUT THAT MORNING, TRIED TO ROLL IT UP.... GUESS WHAT? NOW ALL OF MY POWER WINDOWS ARE BROKEN DUE THE REGULATORS. FUEL PUMP, AND INJECTORS ARE MY PROBLEM TOO. OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

OUR 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN NO LONGER LOCKS WITH THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS. IT ALSO WILL NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS. WHEN THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK IS PRESSED ON THE REMOTE CONTROL, THE HORN SOUNDS AND GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT THE DOORS LOCK, BUT THEY DO NOT. ALSO THE VEHICLE NO LONGER AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS THE DOORS WHEN 20 MPH IS ACHIEVED. THESE ARE SAFETY HAZARDS AS WE HAVE BEEN MADE TO BELIEVE THAT THE DOORS WERE LOCKED WHEN THEY WERE NOT LOCKED. *TR

PLEASE REFER TO COMPLAINT TICKET #10193720. ON 7/21/07 I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM AND THAT I SHOULD NOT ENCOUNTER ANY MORE PROBLEMS. ON 8/17/07 I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE GAS TANK REPAIRED. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE GAS PUMP WILL NOT HOLD SO THAT THE GAS CAN GO INTO THE TANK. I WENT TO THE GAS STATION AFTER PICKING UP MY VEHICLE AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ON 8/17/07 AT ABOUT 7PM IN THE EVENING AS WE WERE DRIVING THROUGH THE LINCOLN TUNNEL MY CAR STOPPED. LUCKILY, THE CAR STARTED UP AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THROUGH THE TUNNEL. THE CAR IDLES VERY HARD. CURRENTLY, 8/18/07 I AM WORKING WITH THE DEALER TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THIS IS A HUGH PROBLEM. I PURCHASED A NEW CAR AND I CAN NOT GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT IT STOPPING. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. IT IS VERY UNSAFE. PLEASE HELP!!! THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AT AUTOLAND, 170 ROUTE 22, SPRINGFIELD, NJ 07081...973-467-6244 *TR

MY VEHICLE UNDERWENT INSPECTION FOR SAFETY RECALL #G07. IT WAS DETERMINED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE ELECTRONIC CLUSTER IN MY 2004 DODGE DURANGO HAD TO BE REPLACED, DUE TO FIRE HAZARD. WHEN THEY PULLED THE OLD CLUSTER, AN ELECTRICAL SURGE DAMAGED THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OF MY VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CLUSTER, AND TOLD ME THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HAD BEEN DAMAGED WHEN THEY PULLED THE OLD CLUSTER. THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS DRIVABLE. THEY ORDERED A PART TO REPAIR THE DOOR AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD REPAIR IT. WHEN I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE, I WAS NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE OR THE INSIDE. THIS WAS ON JUNE 14TH. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ENTER OR EXIT MY CAR VIA THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FOR OVER 1 WEEK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN RETURNED TO ME AS "DRIVABLE". I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, AND ASKED FOR A RENTAL UNTIL THE ISSUE WITH THE DOOR IS RESOLVED. THEY INFORMED ME THAT CHRYSLER HAD TO APPROVE THE RENTAL, AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE RENTAL FEES MYSELF. THE DEALERSHIP CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD IN MY VEHICLE, AND RETURNED IT TO ME AS DRIVABLE, AND THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ON MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN LOCKED FOR 9 DAYS - I HAVE BEEN CLIMBING THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, FOR 9 DAYS. *TR

1999 DODGE RAM 2500 ENTIRE DASHBOARD CRACKED AND FELL APART. REGULAR MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED, AND IT WAS USUALLY IN COVERED PARKING. PIECES FELL INTO THE WIRING AND MECHANISMS STOPPING THEIR USE. I BOUGHT AN OEM REPLACEMENT AND IT ALSO CRACKED. I HAD TO REPLACE THE VENTILATION CONTROLS BECAUSE A PIECE OF THE PLASTIC WEDGED INTO IT AND BROKE THE LEVERS. ALSO, NOTICED TWO WIRES THAT HAD A SHARP PIECE OF PLASTIC BETWEEN THEM ,AND THE VIBRATION HAD WORN AWAY THE INSULATION. I REPLACED THOSE WIRES BEFORE THEY COULD SHORT OUT. *AK

I HAVE TAKEN MY 2000 DODGE DURANGO TO FOREST LAKE DODGE DEALER FOR A CLUNKING NOISE IN MY FRONT END OVER YEAR AGO. I HAD A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. THEY SAID AT THAT TIME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THEY COULDN'T HEAR ANYTHING. AGAIN WITHIN A COUPLE MONTHS I RETURNED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ALONG WITH MY PASSENGER WINDOW NOT GOING UP OR DOWN CORRECTLY. ONCE AGAIN THEY SAID OH YOU NEED SHOCKS AND YOU NEED YOUR SERVICE OF WARRENTY PROFORMED OR YOUR WARRENTLY WONT BE ANY GOOD, SO I SAID YES DO WHAT IS UNDER WARRENTY NOTHING ELSE UNLESS I SAY IT OK, WILL MORE WORK WAS PROFORMED AND I ENDED UP PAYING HUNDRED PLUS DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET. AGAIN THEY SAID THERE WAS NO CLUCKING NOISE NOTED AND THAT THE PASSENGER WINDOW ACCORDING TO THE COMPUTER SAID IT FUNCTIONS CORRECTLY. WILL TO THIS DAY OVER A YEAR LATER, THE CLUCK IS THERE AND SHOCKS AND OTHER MAINTENCE WAS COMPLETED, THE PASSENGER WINDOW MOVES SO SLOW THAT WE DONT USE IT AS IT HAS AND STILL DOES QUIT WORKING. INSIDE WHERE THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE COMPOTENT ALSO COMES LOOSE FROM THE MAIN FLOOR. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW MANTO WHICH SCREWS TO THE FRAME OF THE DURANGO. I HAD SIDE STEPS PUT ON AFTER PURCHASE BY CHRY. DODGE IN FORREST LAKE AND DRIVERS SIDE WITHIN IN ONE AND HALF YEARS FELL LOOSE AND THEY SAID I JUST NEEDED TO HAVE SOMEONE PUT IN NEW SCREWS THAT IT WASN;T COVERED. YET WHEN I PURCHASED THEM THEY SAID THAT IF THEY DID IT, ANYTHING THAT MAY HAPPEN WOULD BE COVERED BUT IF SOMEONE ELSE DID IT THEY WOULDNT COVER ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED.*AK
