2005 Dodge SRT-4

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

PLEASE NO: I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND DRIVING IN SUMMER I GO TO NORTH CAROLINA. THAT IS WHERE I AM NOW AND CAN BE CONTACTED AT [XXX]. MAIL ADDRESS IS: [XXX]. GOOD MORNING. I DID NOT KNOW IF THIS WAS A PROPER COMPLAINT. HOWEVER, I HAD 18000 MILES ON THE 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. AT ABOUT 15000 MILES I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT WHEN THEVEHICLE REACHED A SUSTAINED 60 MPH OR HIGHER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD MOMENTARILY STICK IF I RELEASED THE PEDAL & THEN REAPPLIED THE PEDAL FOR MORE SPEED. IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. I WAS CONCERNED THAT I MIGHT BE ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED AND HAVE THE THROTTLE FAIL, SO I WENT TO THE DEALER THINKING THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS ADVISED THAT I NEEDED A NEW AIR FILTER , I DID AS IT WAS DIRTY. ALSO, THE THROTTLE HOUSING WHERE THE BUTTERFLY WAS LOCATED WAS CARBONED UP, AND THAT AT HIGH SPEED THE METAL HEATED UP AND EXPANDED AND THE CARBON AROUND THE BUTTERFLY WOULD CAUSE IT TO STICK. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CARBON WAS INTO THE ENGINE AND NEEDED TO BE CLEANED ALONG WITH THE FUEL INJECTORS. I ASKED IF THIS WAS A WARRANTY ITEM, AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT AS IT COMES UNDER REGULAR MAINTENANCE WITH THIS ADVISE I HAD THEM DO THE WORK FOR A COST OF $328.37. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD EXPECT THIS TO HAPPEN ABOUT EVERY 15000 MILES. I DIDN'T FEEL THAT THIS IS A THING THAT SHOULD BE HAPPENING NOR DO I FEEL THAT IT SHOULD BE A REGULAR MAINTENANCE PROBLEM. I WILL APPRECIATE IF YOU WOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM AND ADVISE ME OF YOUR FINDINGS. *AK SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WOULD NOT START ONE EVENING. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE VAN. THE VAN HAD LESS THAN 15000 MILES ON IT. I HAD IT DELIVERED TO LANDERS DODGE LOCATED IN SOUTHAVEN, MS. THIS WAS ON A SUNDAY, SO I WENT UP THERE ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY VAN. I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT, AND ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES SAID THEY WATCHED THE VAN WHILE IT WAS DRIVEN OFF OF THE TOW TRUCK, WHICH WAS NOT THE TRUTH. MY HUSBAND HELPED THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER PUSH IT OFF THE DAY BEFORE. THEY CLAIMED IT STARTED RIGHT UP, AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. SO I TOOK IT HOME. A WEEK LATER IT DID THE SAME THING, SO I WAITED TEN MINUTES AND TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. IT WAS RELUCTANT, BUT IT DID FINALLY START. *AK
