Manufacturer’s Name: ChryslereBay (FCAeBay US, LLC)

Vehicle/Equipment Make: DODGEeBay

Vehicle/Equipment Model: AVENGER

Model Year: 2011


Summary

CAR HAS NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE AND A LITTLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. IN MY INVESTIGATION THE HEATER CORE FROM THE FACTORY HAS SOME BAD SPOTS ON THE INSIDE THAT CAUSE METAL TO BUILD UP INSIDE HEATER CORE CAUSING THIS ISSUE. IN THE WINTER MAKES IT SOMETIMES IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD BECAUSE IT WILL NOT DEFROST THE WINSHIELD. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL BY DODGEeBay. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVING ON ANY ROAD. THIS IS AN ISSUE KNOWN BY DODGEeBay AND THEY DONT WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

Manufacturer’s Name: ChryslereBay (FCAeBay US, LLC)

Vehicle/Equipment Make: JEEPeBay

Vehicle/Equipment Model: GRAND CHEROKEE

Model Year: 2015


Summary

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IN PARK, IN A PARKING LOT, AND NO COLLISION OCCURRED. DRIVER, FRONT PASSENGER, AND TWO REAR SEAT PASSENGERS WERE IN THE VEHICLE. FRONT PASSENGER HEADREST DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING STRIKING FRONT PASSENGER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. VEHICLE MILEAGE APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ONLINE ACCOUNTS OF THE ACTIVE HEADREST DEPLOYING WITHOUT A VEHICLE COLLISION DUE TO LESS THAN ADEQUATE RELIABILITY OF PARTS WITHIN THE ACTIVE HEADREST ASSEMBLY. I AM REQUESTING REPLACEMENT THROUGH LOCAL DEALERSHIP; INITIAL FEEDBACK IS THE PART IS NOT COVERED AND I HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE IT. EVEN WITH A REPLACEMENT-IN-KIND ACTIVE HEADREST, THE EXPECTED RELIABILITY IS SUSPECT. THE OEM DESIGN SHOULD BE REVISITED TO ENSURE SAFE AND RELIABLE OPERATIONS.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING MY KIAeBay SOUL ON A CITY ROAD I PULLED OVER TO LET A CAR PASS. I WAS STILL IN GEAR AND ONCE THE CAR PASSED I WENT TO PULL BACK ON TO THE ROAD AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I THEN NOTICED THAT IT HAD STALLED. WE TRIED TO START IT AGAIN BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. NO LEAKING OIL AND THE OIL WAS FULL. I DO A FULL SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGE EVERY 3-4000 MILES. WE THEN TOWED IT TO OUR KIAeBay DEALER. THEY SAID THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE ENGINES AND THE PROBLEMS. AFTER 2 MONTHS THEY JUST INFORMED ME THAT IT DOESN'T FIT THE RECALL. EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE CLEARLY FALLS WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF THE CHRONIC PROBLEMS.

Summary

I AM CONSISTENTLY HAVING TO REPLACE MY TAIL AND BRAKE LIGHTS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE EVERY 2-6 MONTHS. I JUST REPLACED THE BULBS IN JULY AND NOW IN SEPTEMBER, THEY'RE BAD AGAIN. BUT NOW EVEN WITH NEW BULBS IN, THE TAIL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK BUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO. I AM ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT NOT TURNING OFF WHILE SET ON THE "DOOR" SETTING WITH ALL DOORS CLOSED. FOR THIS, I HAVE CHECKED THE DOOR JAMB SWITCH AND THE INSIDE OF THE DOME LIGHT SWITCH AND THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS CAUSES FOR THIS ISSUE. I'M NOT SURE IF THESE LIGHT PROBLEMS ARE CONNECTED OR NOT, BUT THE DOME LIGHT WORKED PERFECTLY FINE UNTIL I REPLACED MY TAIL/BRAKE LIGHT BULBS YESTERDAY AND DISCOVERED THAT THEY AREN'T WORKING AT ALL.
