Most Recent Complaints
Campaign 11701038 - Warping of door panels and driving shaft area. Worried this will affect airbag deployment.
- Crack at base of gas tank where fill tube attached causing fuel vapors around the car and a possible fuel leak. - Yes by independent service center. -White residue was built up around the crack in the fill tube. Independent service center confirmed the cause as - "Found plastic fuel tank leaking around the filler nipple that is plastic welded in. Also, the auxiliary pump has a dark spot like it may be sleeping as well. Need to replace the fuel tank and would recommend replacing the fuel pumps as a precaution." Final repair charge was $4437.03. Independent service center replace fuel tank and fuel pumps with Mopar parts from the closest Dodge dealer. In review with the service center they stated that fuel was dripping onto the heat shield above the exhaust and could have caused a fire. - No other agencies inspected the issue or repair. Attached a copy of the invoice and two pictures of the worn/cracked fuel tank. - No warning lights, just the smell of gasoline in my garage about 5 weeks ago. The smell would be the strongest when the tank was full but when below half tank the smell was not present.
Over 2 years ago I took my vehicle in for an oil change and asked them to drive it and see why it sometimes pulls the steering when going around a curve to the left. they drove it and said it never did pull. Since then, it now pulls to the right when going around curves to the right also. It is doing it more frequently and I am in fear that it will either cause me to go off the road or hit someone when it all of a sudden jerks, like it is catching on something in the tire or something. I wouldn't even let my grandson drive it when he got his learners permit. I have since then decided to look for a safer vehicle and will be trading it since no one can figure out the issue. It jerks hard all of a sudden and you have to make sure you are holding the steering wheel tight. I am reporting to hopefully prevent an accident.
