4 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 02/25/2022

V6 3. 6 l pentastar engine has serious misfire issues, I purchased a vehicle with 150k miles on it, it had check engine light on, I brought it to a local dealer service center in Dodge koons/tysons va. After $900 diagnostics it was recommended to swap the engine for a brand new one. I agreed, after a month of waiting, I received my car back with the new engine installed total bill was almost $10000. After 6-7 months of driving with the new engine the check engine turned on again, so I wend back to koons and they said the problem with the oil pressure sensor that is not cover under the engine warranty (another $550 bill). And yesterday on 02/25/2022 after a month from the last repair I had the check engine flashing again while I was driving on a highway, the car was vibrating, steering wheel was not responsive either. When I came home I found out that the flashing check engine light indicates a misfire. That means that the brand new engine has the same problem as the one that I recently replaced. This is definitely a manufacturing defect and it’s 100% not safe that they make engines like this. I will try to get my warranty though and will probably try to sell the vehicle after they fix it (hopefully no bill from koons this time, but still 50 % unsure about it) , the fact that they produce and install them in cars is unprecedented in such a high volume (I read articles online that many people having this problem with their Dodge vehicles), I’m an experienced driver but even for me it was scary to drive in such extreme conditions.

9 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 01/13/2020

I was driving using my paddle shifters mounted to the steering wheel and I pressed the + shifter to upshift, but instead of going up to third gear the vehicle downshifted to first. Upon searching the internet for a fix for this issue, I have discovered that it is very common among other Chrysler vehicles, dating back to at least 2015 and still present in current 2019 vehicles, yet Chrysler has not issued a solution. This is obviously a very significant issue as this could cause damage to the cars engine, and could even cause accidents or speeding tickets as the car could accelerate suddenly when the driver is expecting to upshift. I have noticed this issue several times, it was certainly not a one-off and it is definitely not limited to my vehicle, as it is circulating around the internet as a common Chrysler problem. I have also experienced it in Chargers and challengers I have driven (I am a valet driver) there are several videos up on the internet documenting the issue.

11 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 11/08/2019

Car was not running correctly had it checked and cylinder 6 was missing which was an issue in the factory. The vehicle was under warranty at the time. Took it in to lampe Dodge visalia California, was told a loaner or rental had to be approved by corporate. This was November 8th of 2019, I have called and no answer they refer me to different people and no answer or rental car. I have been a previous Dodge owner, and this will be the last vehicle I purchase from you. I have been patient and the dealership is no help neither is corporate. I am not asking for anything other than what is right, the most frustrating thing is the lack of follow through or communication from dealer and corporate. The corporate person we spoke to was curbin and he had no info and blamed it on his supervisor for not approving it. I will be telling everyone I know about this, and I am extremely disappointed with your company and how they have treated me. I spoke to corporate today and zero assistance. Thanks a lot.

13 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 04/25/2019

Vehicle was at dealership (acadiana Dodge). After being there for nearly a month vehicle still hadn't been properly serviced. Passed words with service manager and they refused to complete service had to take vehicle to another dealership and pay another deductible. I purchased my vehicle from this dealership therefore I feel as if they should've made it an priority to make sure my vehicle was safe to drive and that I was satisfied as an customer. They also listed services completed on invoice that hadn't been rendered. U do not trust dealerships. I feel as if I was discriminated on because if my gender and race and was completely taken advantage of. Pathetic!.

14 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2018

I started a uconnect system update while I was still parked. The disclaimer said nothing about to not update while driving. I started the update and started driving (my commute is about 25 minutes). It took about 10-15 minutes to download the update. Once it downloaded, the system reset. At this time I was in cruise control on a freeway that was ending, so I turned off my cruise control and then my car jolted forwarded as if it were in a very low gear and almost caused me to crash. I then was stuck in 1st gear while the system was rebooting and couldn't automatically or manually shift past 1st gear leaving me stuck on the side of the road. Then a screen popped up saying there was 50 minutes left on the update. I was stuck on the side of the road until the update finished. After that, my gears were shifting normally. During this time, I called Dodge and opened a case letting them know what happened. The picture I provided was a picture after I was already stopped on the side of the road.

15 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 08/06/2016

Upon arriving home after an 800 mile trip, (in the evening around 10:30 pm) when shifting into reverse to back into driveway, I experienced a complete ecu controller failure and everything went black. And engine died. After a few seconds it appears the computer rebooted itself and the dash came back up and the car restarted. It appears there is a real-time program bug in the car and the firmware needs to be investigated. Had this happened on the road, it would have cause a serious crash. I was then able to back into the driveway. No error code was posted! I believe that the realtime software is experiencing frame overruns and we know that causes runaway conditions like in the Toyota camry. I believe the NHTSA should review every car firmware before release to insure spare time requirements are met and runaway conditions can not exist. (yes, I used to develop real time software for control systems).

16 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 06/03/1996

There is a manufacturing defect in the car, after it has driven 120,000 kilometers or 200,000 kilometers, it causes problems in the engine’s cooling systems, which causes the car’s temperature to rise. It is also possible that the engine is damaged and needs to be replaced after that. The cooling system needs to be checked, improved, and treated for better and higher quality note : after researching this problem on websites, I found that the car breaks down frequently in countries like saudi arabia due to the temperature of weather reaching 50 degrees celsius.
