Complaint Summary
AIR BAGS
Owner Narrative
CAR SHUTS OFF AT APPORXIMATELY 45MPH. ALMOST WRECK AND THEN FLICKERS BACK TO NORMAL OPERATING AND DRIVE HOME(5)MINUTES AND PARK. WILL NOT START BACK UP. TOWED THE CAR TO A DODGE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR RECALL AND TELLS ME TO PICK IT UP. I GO PICK IT UP AND NOW IT WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS, OVER HEATS IN DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT AND FANS WILL NOT OPERATE. DEALER KEEPS CAR AND SAYS IT'S A BAD WATER PUMP AND THERMOSTAT. AT THIS POINT I DO NOT TRUST DEALER AND REPLACE THE WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT, IDLER PULLEY, TEMP SENSOR, BELT TENSIONER MYSELF. START CAR AND SOUNDS GREAT BUT OVERHEATS AGAIN. NOW WILL NOT START AT ALL. I SEE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND DODGE DOES NOTHIGN BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. NOTE TO SELF....GOVERMENT STILL NOT PROTECTING THE LITTLE GUY. SIDE NOTE....WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE!
