FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
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.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADREST HAS DEPLOYED ON IT'S OWN WHILE PARKED IN A DRIVEWAY AND TURNED OFF. AFTER INSPECTION, THE PLASTIC BRACKETS THAT RETAIN THE METAL PIN THAT IS SUPPOSED TO SECURE THE HEADREST BROKE APART AND RELEASED THE HEADREST INTO A DEPLOYED POSITION. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE BECOMES INJURED. THE HEADREST IS UNDER A SPRING LOADED FORCE THAT THE PLASTIC WAS NOT ENGINEERED TO RESTRAIN.

MY VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STALL WITHOUT ANY WARNING NOR ANY DASH LIGHTS SUCH AS CHECK ENGINE OR BATTERY DISPLAYING. MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE VEHICLE OUT WITH A ODB AND COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE WILL HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AND IT APPEARS MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE ACCORDING TO ONLINE RESEARCH. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING ISSUE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND WE ARE UNABLE TO DRIVE IT NOR RESOLVE THE ISSUE SINCE WE (NOR DODGE MECHANICS) KNOW WHAT IS WRONG.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VISIBILITY/WIPER
ABOUT 11/30 I WENT TO START THE CAR IN THE MORNING., THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ON WHEN I TURNED THE KEY, AND WOULD NOT CHANGE SPEED OR TURN OFF AS MUCH AS I TRIED THE BACK AND THEY WOULD NOT TURN ON. THE RADIO/ CLOCK DID WORK BUT NO LIGHTED INFORMATION AND SAME WITH THE SPEEDOMETER, THE GAS TANK, TEMPERATURE WARNING AND TACHOMETER LIGHTING. THE CAR STARTED, AND RESTARTED SEVERAL TIME WELL ENOUGH BUT THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND THE WIPERS DID NOT CHANGE. I TRIED TURNING THE KEY ON AND OFF WITHOUT STARTING THE CAR A NUMBER OF TIMES WITH DIFFERENT NUMBER OF TRIES BEFORE RESTARTING AS A POSSIBLE RESETTING WITH NO CHANGE. EVENTHOUGH IT HAD NO WORKING SPEEDOMATER I DROVE THE CAR FIRST AROUND THE BLOCK SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN TO MY LOCAL MECHANEC. I TALKED TO HIM HE DID NOT HAVE THE CORRECT EQUIPMENT FOR TESTING REQUIRED TO FIND THE PROBLEM. HE SUGGESTED I GO TO THE DEALER AND 1) SEE IF THEY HAD ANY RECALL OR UNPUBLISHED ISSUED REPAIR NOTICES ETC 2) GET AN ESTIMATE OF THE POSSIBLE COSTS AND TIMES FOR REPAIR. I THANKED HIM AND WAS IN MY CAR AGAIN WITHIN 15 MINUTES AND THE TOTAL PROBLEMS WENT AWAY, FRONT WIPERS OFF AND ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WORKED. THE CAR WORKED FOR 4 MORE TRIPS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. ON DEC 3RD 2020, I STARTED THE CAR JUST FINE WENT ON THE EXPRESS WAY FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR A ABOUT 35 MINUTES TRIP. ABOUT 8 MINUTES INTO THE EXPRESSWAY DRIVE THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE WIPER WENT ON FOR ABOUT 1.5 MINUTES, BUT BEFORE I COULD EXIT THE EXPRESSWAY THEY WENT BACK ON AND I COULD TURN OFF THE WIPERS, A FEW MINUTES THEY WENT OUT AGAIN AND JUST AS SUDDENLY IN 2 MINUTES THEY WERE WORKING AGAIN. THERE WAS A THIRD TIME BEFORE MY EXIT THAT LASTED ONLY ABOUT 1 MINUTE. WHEN I GOT OFF AT THE USUAL EXIT I PARKED & TRIED TO SEE THE PROBLEM AGAIN FOR NEARLY 20 MINUTES WITH NO LUCK, I CONTINUED THE TRIP AND IT WAS UNEVENTFUL AS DRIVE BACK & SINCE NO PROBLEM.

DRIVER'S SIDE REAR PASSENGER AUTOMATIC DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THE LOCKING MECHANISM SEEMS TO BE FROZEN AND I CANNOT OPEN IT USING THE KEY FOB, MANUALLY, OR WITH THE BUTTON IN THE DRIVER'S AREA. I CANNOT ACCESS MY CHILDREN FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR UNLESS I USE THE OTHER SIDE DOOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IF WE WERE IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT ANY REAR PASSENGER COULD GET TRAPPED INSIDE. THIS IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A SAFETY RECALL.
