2010 Dodge Challenger 2-DR. w/SAB

The Gen III hemi has an inherent design flaw in which the rollers making contact with the camshaft will fail, causing damage to the camshaft and causing the engine to misfire. This is due to the camshaft being moved away from the crankshaft as it causes oil starvation. After extensive research it appears to affect cars of various miles and workload. There is no single cause that makes this happen other than a grievous design flaw. The main complaint is that you experience total power loss at higher revs, making it dangerous to drive on the interstate or attempting to merge into traffics as the engine begins to shudder and lose most power. Whether it’s 40K miles or 110K miles, the flaw does not discriminate. After numerous attempts to reach Chrysler technical service on how to prevent this, I’ve been ignored and case numbers deleted. Now this is very important. This causes a misfire which not only destroys catalytic converters, but arrives with no notice. It’s very possible someone may be attempting to pass someone on the interstate and suddenly lose power. My mechanic inspected it and confirmed that the rollers failed, causing causing lifters to not make proper clearance. This needs to be investigated as this engine is in millions of cars. And even if 1% of these failure occur on an interstate, the potential for fatalities is absolutely nothing to ignore. I kindly ask that this matter be investigated. As not everyone can afford the 5K to fix this problem like I can. And due to its high prevalence in trucks, this could cause those who use their trucks for work to be put in a tight spot. I understand normal wear and tear, but by no means should a cam and valve train fail this soon in a car. Giving the Gen III hemi by Chrysler and their infamous timing chain defect, I believe this is also a dangerous flaw and something Chrysler ignored. Hoping it would outlast warranties. Best regards.

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the tire sensor, battery, and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed as a powertrain control module failure, which caused the battery and alternator to fail. The mechanic informed the contact that the powertrain control module needed to be replaced. The dealer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to file a complaint with NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 57,000.

Car stall no warning lite. Car has stalled when driving on the freeway, when exiting the Freeway as well at making turns. This has been happening for about 3 years. Seems to only happen during the summer months. The dodge dealership said that they would not be able to identify the problem unless a warning lite was on or they test drive and it happens. The problem doesn't happen all the time it's sporadic.

The car has an intermittent issue where at highway speeds it will go into almost a limp mode. Basically the check engine light comes on and car loses power and won't go over 45 mph. I have to pull over and shut car off. It will restart and operate normally for a random period of time. Very dangerous when on the highway and have to pull over to the side of the road. From the forums I belong to, this is a very common problem. There are even members that have bought a brand new Challenger and had this happen to them after a few months. The code that usually appears from this is misfire on cylinder 1 and even the dealerships don't know what causes it and hard to diagnose since it happens randomly. Love the car but very annoyed that this keeps happening and no one can figure out the fix

PROBLEM: FUEL FUMES IN THE CABIN OF MY 2010 CHALLENGER STATIONARY AND IN MOTION (CITY AND HIGHWAY). THE FUEL TANK IS LOCATED UNDER THE REAR SEAT IN DODGE CHALLENGERS, CHARGERS AND THE CHRYSLER 300. INTERNET SEARCHES REGARDING FUEL FUMES IN THE CABIN REVEALED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING FUEL PUMP O-RING LEAKS. THERE ARE U-TUBE VIDEOS AVAILABLE FOR THE HOME MECHANIC. HOWEVER, IT IS UNREASONABLE TO EXPECT THAT AN OWNER PERFORM THIS REPAIR DUE TO THE EXPOSURE TO GASOLINE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. MY CHALLENGER IS A LIMITED EDITION MOPAR10 WITH METICULOUS MAINTENANCE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED. IT HAD ONLY 60,958 MILES WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 01/28/21. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP O-RINGS AT A COST OF $396.00 ($96 IN PARTS AND $300 IN LABOR). I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM IN ANY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED, NEW OR USED, SINCE 1978. THE EXPOSURE TO GASOLINE FUMES IS A WELL KNOWN HEALTH HAZARD ESPECIALLY IN A CLOSED ENVIRONMENT SUCH AS A VEHICLE CABIN. FOR THE CAR WITH ONLY 60K MILES WITH METICULOUS MAINTENANCE BEING PERFORMED BY ONE DEALERSHIP AND A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET, WARRANTS AN INVESTIGATION OF DODGE AND CHRYSLER REPAIR RECORDS ON THIS ISSUE. A $400 REPAIR IS 25% PARTS AND 75% LABOR. I RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT THAT A RECALL HAS BE ISSUED. PLEASE NOTE THAT MY DODGE DEALER HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONAL REGARDING CUSTOMER CARE. HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT OFFER TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT FREE OF COST BECAUSE NO RECALL EXISTS ON THIS ISSUE. MY DEALERSHIP IS JIM CLICK DODGE IN TUCSON, ARIZONA. THE REPAIR INVOICE NUMBER IS DDCS759163. YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO USE MY PERSONAL DATA ON THIS INVOICE TO CREATE A RECALL. THANK-YOU, RANDY STURGEON, RETIRED FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENT.

I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT AN AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY NOT GOING TO FIXED IT BECAUSE MY CAR GOT TO A CAR ACCIDENT BEFORE, SO THEY COULD NOT PERFORM RECALL DUE TO AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE LADY SAID NO DEALERSHIP WILL FIXED IT. I WANT TO KNOW IF I AM GOING TO GET ANY CREDIT SO THAT I CAN GET IT FIXED, OR AM I GOING TO BE THE ONE WHO IS GOING TO PAY TO FIX IT OUT OF MY POCKET. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT [XXX] OR [XXX] PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHMENT. THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON DECEMBER 11, 2019, MY SON WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE FOR WORK WHEN THE HORN STARTING BLOWING IN THE CAR AND WOULDN'T STOP. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. AFTER ABOUT 4 MINUTES IT STOPPED. I TOOK THE CAR TO SUPREME CHEVROLET IN PLAQUEMINE WHERE I PURCHASE THE CAR FROM. THE CAR WAS CHECKED OUT AND TOLD THAT I WAS GOING TO NEED ANOTHER HORN, THEY HAD ORDERED ONE AND IT SHOULD BE IN IN ABOUT 3 DAYS. WHEN I WENT TO THE SERVICE AREA TO PICK UP THE CAR, THE GUY TOLD ME THAT THE HORN AND AIRBAG HAD BEEN TAKEN OUT AND THEY HAD PUT SOMETHING AROUND THE STIRRING WHEEL TO HOLD IT DOWN UNTIL THE HORN CAN BE REPLACED. I HAVE CHECKED BACK MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY ARE STILL SAYING THEY CANNOT LOCATE THE HORN FOR MY CAR. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE A CAR WITHOUT A HORN AND AN AIRBAG. TODAY IS OCTOBER 23, 2020 AND I HAVE YET TO GET A HORN AND AIRBAG FOR THE CAR.*DT*DT*JB*JB

MY PASSENGER DOOR LATCH WENT OUT. THERE'S A RECALL FOR 2011 CHALLENGERS BUT NOT 2010. MY 2010 HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS THE 2011 RECALLS. I HAD TO REPLACE MY DOOR LATCH BECAUSE MY WINDOW KEPT JUMPING UP AND DOWN WHILE MY CAR WAS OFF AND KILLED MY BATTERY. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAD NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT OR WHAT WAS CAUSING MY WINDOW TO JUMP UP AND DOWN. I HAD TO TELL THEM I READ ONLINE THAT THE LATCH WAS THE ISSUE. AFTER REPLACING THE LATCH THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED BUT TWO WEEKS LATER I ROLLED MY WINDOW DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND IT WILL NOT COME BACK UP. OF THE 2011 CHALLENGERS HAVE THE RECALL WHY DOESN'T THE 200 HAVE THE SAME RECALL BECAUSE THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES.

A RECALL WAS PERFORMED IN 2015 REGARDING A TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. THIS CAR SAT IN A DEALER LOT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND RARELY DRIVE IT. A TIMING CHAIN FAILURE STALLED ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. A CHRONIC ISSUE ACCORDING TO MOST FORUMS, EVEN AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 73,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED REGARDLESS OF MONTHS,OF THE FACT THAT IT WAS MORE THAN 24 MONTHS. IT IS A VERY LOW MILEAGE CAR FOR THE YEAR AND THIS IS ON ONGOING ISSUE FROM THESE VEHICLES FROM 2009-2012.

MY PASSENGER AIRBAG DASH LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND I HAVE SEEN RECALLS ONLINE BUT WHEN I PUT IN MY VIN IT SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2015 BUT THE LIGHT CAME ON IN 2017 AND MY MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS A RECALL BUT WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING FOR A RECALL SPECIFICALLY FOR MY CAR BUT I STILL HAVE NOT SEEN IT, EVEN THOUGH THE YEAR AND MODEL OF MY CAR HAS HAD A RECALL AND I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHY.

APPROX., DECEMBER 2017 (DONT REMEMBER EXACT DATE) MY TIRE SENSOR GAUGE KEPT COMING ON BUT THE TIRE IT INDICATED THAT HAD LOW AIR WAS NOT THE CORRECT TIRE. NOW FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS IT IS ON EVERYTIME I START AND DRIVE MY CAR AND SHOWS THAT THE TWO PASSENGER TIRES ARE LOW (FRONT 24 PSI AND BACK 0 PSI) BUT NEITHER TIRE IS FLAT OR LOW ON AIR, IN FACT NONE OF MY TIRES ARE LOW BUT I CANNOT TRUST WHAT TIRE THE GAUGE TELLS ME BECAUSE IT HAS NEVER BEEN ACCURATE SINCE IT BEGAN COMING ON AT THE END OF 2017. IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM OR IS THERE A WAY TO FIX IT SO IT CALCULATES THE CORRECT TIRES?

MY 2010 CHALLENGER RT HAS THE 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN IT AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR, ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THERE IS NO SECOND GEAR THERE, FOUND OUT THERE IS A STAR CASE FOR THE WRONG GREASE WAS PUT ON THE INPUT SHAFTS AND IT'S MESSING UP TRANNY'S AND THE MILES ON MY CAR IS 50,131 AND THE STAR CASE NUMBER STAR CASE#-IT'S K38556860 AND IT'S A VALID CASE AND IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT AND ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK CAUSE IT HAPPENED IN A TURN SO I MORELESS HAD TO GO FROM 1ST TO 3RD GEAR

MY 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE ENGINE TURNS OFF AND I LOSE POWER STEERING. IT DOES THIS REPEATEDLY WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS BUT THE POWER STEERING MAKES IT VERY HARD TO TURN THE VEHICLE WHICH MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC OR ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK PRESS MY IGNITION START BUTTON TO TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY TO THE OFF POSITION AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATE AFTER THIS HAPPENS SO THE DODGE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED MY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED AND MY ESP, TRACTION CONTROL AND ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WAS DISABLED AND HASN'T BEEN ENABLED. AFTER STARTING THE CAR THE ESP, TC AND ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATE AND STAY ON. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE ARE NO TROUBLE CODES OR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT THOUSANDS OF OWNERS OF DODGE CHALLENGERS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THE SAME RESULT THAT THE DODGE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS CAN NOT FIND OR DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS RANDOM ENGINE SHUT OFF HAS HAPPENED AROUND 40 TIMES. IT'S HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY IN MOTION AT SPEEDS OF 75 MPH ON THE CITY STREET FROM 30-50 MPH AND WHEN LEAVING AN INTERSECTION AFTER THE STOP LIGHT TURNS GREEN LEAVING ME STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION IN DANGER OF BIENG HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE TURNING IN A INTERSECTION AND THE VEHICLE STOPPING WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC HEADING TOWARDS MY VEHICLE. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN HIT NUMEROUS TIMES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE PROOF OF MY VEHICLE TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH NO LUCK AS TO WHAT THE DANGEROUS PROBLEM IS.

THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION AT 47,000 MILES IS HAVING A VERY HARD TIME SHIFTING INTO AND OUT OF GEAR AT IDLE. WITH CLUTCH PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR IT WILL NOT GO INTO OR OUT OF FIRST GEAR OR REVERSE. AFTER GETTING IT INTO GEAR AND DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FINE. THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH AND GREASE USED ON THIS YEAR MODEL

A BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON MY DASH, A FEW MINUTES LATER SEVERAL INDICATOR FLASHED ON (THE ABS, THE BRAKE, AND ESP/BAS FLASHED ON AND MY VEHICLE POWERED OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS EXTREMELEY DANGEROUS AND HAVE BEEN READING THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON DODGE MODELS. HOW CAN THIS BE CORRECTED?! IF THIS IS A REPEAT PROBLEM, WHY ISN'T IT YET A RECALL? THE CAR IS JUST SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING.

TAKATA AIRBAG, FUEL SYSTEM, KEY MODULE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE CAR STALLED WHILE IT WAS STATIONARY I HAD IT TOWED TO DODGE AND THEY SAID THE FUEL PUMPS WE'RE BAD, GOT FUEL PUMPS CHANGED CAR STILL WON'T START. THE LIGHTS IN THE INTERIOR WON'T COME ON, THE DOORS LOCKED AND UNLOCK OUT OF THE BLUE, THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. MY VIN SHOWS RECALLS BUT THERE ARE OTHER RECALLS FOR YR MK AND MODEL BUT NOT LISTED UNDER MY VIN HOWEVER MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES

2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE WINDOWS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS STOLEN DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE WINDOWS. UPDATED 10/25/2017*JS

RECALL MALFUNCTION

I WAS GOING ABOUT 50 MILES PER HOUR ON A BUSY FREEWAY WHEN MY ABS LIGHT TURNED ON LIGHTS IN THE PANEL START TO FLICKER AND ENGINE SHUTS OFF. THIS IS ONE OF MANY OCCURANCES ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP UNDER MY MOPAR SERVICE CONTRACT AND THEY REPLACED ALTERNATOR. ONE MONTH LATER ENGINE TURNS OFF AGAIN. 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS.

THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I UNLOCK THE DOOR WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND WHEN I JUST OPEN THE DOOR IT CLICKS ABOUT 20-25 TIME OH YES AND WHEN I ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE TO A COLDER SETTING IT IS VERY ANNOYING I HAVE T NOTICED ANYTHING ELSE

SHIFTING ISSUE WITH MANUAL 2010 CHALLENGER R/T. EXPERIENCING A NIBBLE WHEN SHIFTING AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T SHIFT INTO 3RD WHEN COLD. MATCHES THE DESCRIPTION FROM OTHER 2009-2010 DRIVERS IN ON-LINE CHALLENGER FORUMS UNDER STAR CASE # K38556860 & S1021000004 (BAD GREASE USED ON TR-6060. MY LOCAL DEALER AND CHRYSLER WARRANTY HOTLINE CLAIM TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT.

CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN

ON A NORMAL LEFT TURN THE ENGINE STALLED.

MY CAR LOST COMPLETE POWER WHILE TURNING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. THE VEHICLE IS DEAD AND WILL NOT START. THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING. THIS IS A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER HAVING A TIMING CHAIN RECALL REPAIR. DID THE CHAIN FAIL ANYWAY?

CAR STARTING SMELLING STRONGLY OF GASOLINE AFTER FILLING TANK. THE SMELL MAKES YOU VERY LIGHT HEADED AND IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I PARKED THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY AND GAS IS DRIPPING FROM 2 SPOTS IN FRONT OF THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE. I AM AFRAID TO START IT TO DRIVE IT TO A DEALER THINKING IT WILL CATCH ON FIRE. I HAVE CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO COME AND TAKE IT TO A DEALER. I AM TRYING TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT SO NOT ONE COMES AROUND IT WITH A CIGARETTE OR OTHER SOURCE OF IGNITION. MY HOUSE AND 2 GARAGES ARE IN DANGER OF THE LEAKING GAS UNTIL I CAN GET THE CAR TOWED AWAY FROM MY PROPERTY.

I HAD A TAKATA DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG RECALLED AND REPLACED. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, PERHAPS A YEAR, I RECEIVED VIA MAIL A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG; HOWEVER, THERE WERE NO AVAILABLE PARTS TO FIX IT. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. I'M WONDERING WHAT THE STATUS IS? HOW DO I GET THIS REPAIRED ETC. SHOULD I HAVE THE AIRBAG DISABLED? WILL ANYONE EVEN PERFORM THAT SERVICE?

TRIED TO START THE CAR AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS AND RADIO WORKED JUST FINE. GOT SOMEONE TO GIVE ME A JUMP AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP SO I WENT AND BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND THAT WORKED FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS THEN THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER 2 1/2 DAYS THEY SAY IT'S THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE, OR THE TIPM.

2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 LIMITED EDITION (SRT8). THE SRT8'S TIRES LOSE AIR PRESSURE (5-10 POUNDS) WHENEVER A POTHOLE'S IS ENCOUNTERED OR GOING OVER A CURB LIP GREATER THAN ONE (1) INCH. DEALERSHIPS THAT PROVIDE AUTHORIZED FACTORY SERVICE HAVE TOLD ME THAT TIRE PRESSURE LOSS IS NORMAL AS THE SRT8 HAS FACTORY (OEM) ALUMINUM WHEELS THAT DEVELOP CRACKS IN THE CENTER OF THE WHEELS/RIMS FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THIS IS DEEMED UNACCEPTABLE AS THE SRT8 DOES NOT COME EQUIPPED WITH A SPARE TIRE AND THE TIRE INFLATOR KIT PROVIDED BY DODGE DOES NOT SEAL THE FACTORY (OEM) SRT8 ALUMINUM WHEELS/RIMS WHEN IT IS CRACKED. TIRE AIR PRESSURE LOSS OCCURS DRIVING AT NORMAL ROADWAY SPEEDS AS WELL AS UNDER 15 MILES PER HOUR TRAVELLING OVER DRIVEWAY AND, E.G., SHOPPING MALL ENTRANCES, CHANGES IN PAVEMENT GRADE, ETC.

TAKATA RECALL (S43 - 16V-352, JULY 1, 2016) - "THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING MAY RUPTURE WHILE DEPLOYING DURING A CRASH. THE POTENTIAL FOR SUCH RUPTURES MAY OCCUR IN SOME OF THE SUBJECT AIRBAG INFLATORS AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF EXPOSURE TO PERSISTENT CONDITIONS OF HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AND/OR HEAT AGING. IN THE EVENT OF A FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENT(S) COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS." I OWN A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER AND AM STILL WAITING TO HAVE THIS RECALL FIXED. THERE WAS A SIMILAR RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE JULY 14, 2015 (R37 / 15V-444) -"THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING IN YOUR VEHICLE MAY RUPTURE, DUE TO EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE, DURING NORMAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EVENTS.

OWNER VEHICLE ELECTRICAL ISSUE CAR WILL START AND AFTER 10 OF 15 MINUTES OF USE WILL NOT RE-START . ALSO , IF I DO NOT USE THE VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS , THE CAR APPEARS TO HAVE NO ELECTRICAL POWER , I HAVE TO MANUALLY OPEN THE CAR DOOR W/KEY, NO DASH LIGHTS AND WILL NOT START .. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO HAVE THE BATTERY TESTED . IT WAS LOW BUT STILL GOOD.. IF I BOOST IT. IT STARTS RIGHT UP UNLESS I'VE BEEN USING IT A WHILE THEN IT WILL NOT START UNTIL AFTER IT'S BEEN SITTING A COUPLE OF HOURS . I REPLACED THE STARTER RELAY FUSE. BUT IT'S STILL DOING THE SAME THING . I ALSO SAW SMOKE AND SMELLED SOMETHING LIKE WIRES BURNING FROM THE DIRECTION OF THE ALTERNATOR ? OTHER UNEXPLAINED AND /OR POSSIBLY RELATED OCCURRENCES DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WILL ROLL DOWN ABOUT 1 INCH FOR NOT REASON .. DASH INSTRUMENT PANEL LIT UP AND ALL INDICATORS AS WELL .. I DON'T HAVE TIME TO FOOL WITH IT RIGHT NOW. SO I HAVE A CAR I CAN'T TRUST TO DRIVE ME ANYWHERE . PLEASE HELP . I'VE BEEN READING A LOT ABOUT THIS VEHICLE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S THE PROBLEM AND NOTICED 2011 MODELS HAVE A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR CAUSING SIMILAR PROBLEMS ? THIS ALL STARTED HAPPENING RIGHT AFTER I HAD TAKEN IT IN FOR A AIR BAG RECALL .. NOT SURE IF THAT'S THE PROBLEM , COULD BE A COINCIDENCES

TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR IS FINE BUT I HAVE BEEN WAITING 7 MONTHS FOR RECALL PARTS TO REPLACE MY AIRBAG INFLATOR. R37/NHTSA 15V-444. FIAT CHRYLSER AMERICA'S RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER (18008531403) IS JUST AN ANSWERING SERVICE WITH NO ACTUAL INFORMATION ABOUT AVAILABILITY OF PARTS AND ABOUT LIMITS TO HOW MANY PARTS A DEALER CAN ORDER. BUT THE REPRESENTATIVE MARK FROM THE RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER SAYS PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO BE ORDERED. MY LOCAL DEALER, NYLE MAXWELL SUPERCENTER, SAYS THAT FIAT CHRYSLER ONLY ALLOWS THEM TO ORDER 10 AT A TIME, AND THE 10 PARTS THEY HAVE ON HAND ARE ALREADY SCHEDULED TO BE USED FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S VEHICLES. THERE'S NO WAY TO FIND OUT WHY FIAT CHRYSLER ONLY ALLOWS THEM TO ORDER 10 AT A TIME, AND NYLE MAXWELL SUPERCENTER CLAIMS THERE'S NO WAY TO SPECIAL ORDER THE PART THAT I NEED, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE PART IS AVAILABLE.

UPON STARTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPLIGHT THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN & THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. THEIR WAS A VEHICLE STOPPED AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION (4 WAY STOP). TO AVOID HITTING THEM I WENT TO THE RIGHT OF THE STOP SIGN. THERE WAS JUST ENOUGH ROOM IN BETWEEN THE STOP SIGN & A TELEPHONE POLE. I HAD SHIFTED THE CAR TO NEUTRAL, & FINALLY GOT IT STOPPED IN FRONT OF A HOUSE. I WAS VERY SHAKEN UP BY THIS & CALLED MY HUSBAND. HE SAID HE WOULD BE THERE ASAP. A MAN CAME OUT OF THE HOUSE & ASKED ME WAS I OK. I TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED & LET HIM KNOW MY HUSBAND WAS ON THE WAY. WHEN MY HUSBAND GOT THERE, HE GOT ME CALMED DOWN & SAID HE WAS GOING TO TRY TO DRIVE IT CAUTIOUSLY TO THE DEALER. I FOLLOWED HIM IN HIS CAR (TOYOTA) & WE MADE IT TO THE DEALER WITHOUT ANY OTHER INCIDENT. WE CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATION & THEY OPENED UP A CASE FILE (29522357) TRYING TO GET INFORMATION FROM CHRYSLER, MY HUSBAND LEFT MULTIPLE MESSAGES FOR THEM TO GET THE STATUS ON THIS. HE FINALLY GOT THEM & THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM & THEY WERE CLOSING THE CASE. I WAS CHARGED 130.00 FROM THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TEST. NOW I HAVE A CAR THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE & CAN'T CONSCIENTIOUSLY SELL IT TO SOMEONE ELSE.

MY 5.7-LITER HEMI ENGINE HESITATED SIX TIMES AND THE ENGINE COMPUTER REGISTERED THIS MALFUNCTION EACH TIME, BUT NEVER SET A CODE WHICH THE DEALER MECHANICS COULD READ TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. EACH MALFUNCTION CORRECTED ITSELF IN A FEW SECONDS, BUT THE LAST HESITATION WAS A STRONG ONE DURING WHICH THE ENGINE RAN VERY ROUGHLY FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES BEFORE RUNNING SMOOTHLY AGAIN. IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE WAS MISFIRING ON ONE OR MORE CYLINDERS. EACH MALFUNCTION HAPPENED WHILE I WAS PASSING OTHER VEHICLES IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON A HIGHWAY WITH THE ENGINE UNDER ACCELERATION LOAD. WHEN I EASED OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE HESITATION DISAPPEARED AND I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE EACH VEHICLE PASS, BUT EACH PASS THUS TOOK LONGER AND PUT ME MORE AT POTENTIAL RISK OF COLLIDING WITH ONCOMING VEHICLES. THE LAST STRONG HESITATION FORCED ME TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER AND WAIT UNTIL THE ENGINE CORRECTED ITSELF IN ABOUT TWO MINUTES. THIS HESITATION HAPPENS RARELY AND THE ENGINE HAS CONTINUED TO RUN SMOOTHLY SINCE THE LAST STRONG EVENT. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM RESIDES INSIDE THE ENGINE OR WITHIN THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION. I HAVE A SIX-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND CRUISE CONTROL ON THIS CAR.

WHEN SHIFTING INTO 2ND GEAR SOMETIMES WONT LET THE GEAR GO INTO SLOT AND HAVE TO FORCE IT IN AND OUT. DODGE HAS A STAR CASE #K38556860 BUT IS NOT RECALLING THIS ISSUE AND FORCING THE BUYER TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. THE POWERTRAIN WARRENTY IS OUT OF DATE HOWEVER THERE ARE SO MANY OF THIS ISSUE ONLINE WHEN YOU SEARCH FOR IT THAT IT SEEMS DODGE SHOULD HAVE ALREADY MADE THIS A RECALL SINCE IT SEEMS THE MADE THE CORRECT FIX THE YEAR AFTER.

PURCHASED NEW IN 11/2010. 2 YEARS INTO OWNERSHIP, ON ABOUT 4 OCCURANCES, ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF, LOOSE STEERING CONTROL AND BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME WHILE MAKING A SLOW RIGHT HAND TURN. PROBLEM DISAPPEARED AND THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE OF SOME KIND. NOW 3 YEARS LATER IT HAS STARTED DOING IT AGAIN EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. WHEN THE ENGINE DIES YOU CAN BARELY STEER AND HAVE TO REALLY PULL HARD ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP FROM GOING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BRAKES DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY EITHER, YOU LOOSE ALL POWER BRAKING AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR THIS ISSUE EXTENSIVELY. WHAT I HAVE FOUND IS ABOUT A HUNDRED OTHER DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS ON SEVERAL FORUM SITES DESCRIBING EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. NOBODY HAD AN ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM AND FOUND JUST AS MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THAT PEOPLE SAID WERE WRONG RANGING FROM ECM FAILURE TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT MODULES AND LOOSE CONNECTIONS. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT WOULD ONLY OCCUR WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. NOW IT DOES IT AT ANY TIME NO MATTER WHETHER SITTING IN A PARKING LOT OR DRIVING ON THE STREET. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE KEY ALL THE WAY OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON TO START IT AND THERE IS ALWAYS A DELAY FROM THE TIME YOU DO THAT TILL THE TIME IT RESPONDS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE AS SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITHOUT IT EVER BEING CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN TRAFFC AND THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN AND IT WOULD NOT CRANK UP ,I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED, BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL IS NOT PUMPING GAS INTO TTHE CAR.AND THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. CHRYSLER SAYS ITS THE ACC PEDAL SENSOR

MY SON WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD IN THE CITY GOING STRAIT AHEAD AND NOTICED THE BATTERY LIGHT HAD COME ON, VERY QUICKLY HE THEN NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR, UNDER THE HOOD. FORTUNATELY HE WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY EXIT THE ROADWAY AND GET INTO A PARKING LOT. HE OPENED THE HOOD AND MORE SMOKE CAME OUT. HE CALLED ME (HIS FATHER) AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. I ASKED IF IT WAS ON FIRE AND CAUTIONED HIM TO GET BACK AND TO LET IT COOL DOWN. HE LET IT COOL DOWN AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR. THE CAR HAD NO ELECTRICAL POWER AT THIS TIME. DOOR LOCKS AND TRUNK LATCH WOULD NOT FUNCTION. AFTER PUTTING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND REALIZING THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD HE ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WOULD NOT RELEASE THE KEY, THEREFORE HE WAS FORCED TO LEAVE THE KEY IN THE CAR UNATTENDED AND EVENTUALLY TOWED FOR SERVICE. I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS SITUATION GIVEN THAT IF HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EXIT QUICKLY THE CAR COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE OR COMPLETELY LOST POWER/CONTROL WHILE HE WAS STUCK IN THE ROADWAY. APPARENTLY THE CAR ALTERNATOR GOT HOT ENOUGH TO DESTROY IT AND THE BATTERY. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM AND SUBSEQUENT RECALL OF LATER YEAR MODELS OF THIS EXACT SAME ALTERNATOR WITH A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT ENGINE MODEL(NHTSA 14V-634) RECALL NUMBER P-60 ALTERNATOR. I HAVE CALLED DODGE/CHRYSLER AND FILED REPORTS/COMPLAINTS WITH THEM. I HAVE ATTACHED REPAIR INVOICE CONFIRMING THE ISSUE EXPLAINED. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE SHOULD FALL UNDER THE SAME RECALL AS LATER YEAR MODELS DUE TO UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS POTENTIAL OF MECHANICAL FAILURE. THANK YOU *TR

I RECEIVED A LETTER OF RECALL FOR A PART IN THE AIR BAG. THE RECALL LETTER SAID THAT THE BAG COULD EXPLODE OR HAVE METAL FRAGMENTS FLY OUT IF MOISTURE GETS IN THE AIRBAG.

I CALLED OCTOBER 12 AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THEY WERE GOING TO GET THE PART. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR ALL AROUND IF IT CAN EXPLODE AT ANY TIME AND I COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE.

RECALL STATES, "RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH". BEEN OVER 2 MONTHS AND NO CORRECTIVE ACTION. DODGE IS MAKING NEW CARS WITH NEW AIRBAGS. STOP AND TAKE CARE OF CURRENT CUSTOMERS FIRST.

I HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT IN BETWEEN ME RELEASING THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATING MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND MY ENGINE STOPPED. THE CAR BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER AND THE BRAKES WERE DIFFICULT TO USE. THE A/C AND RADIO WERE STILL FUNCTIONAL. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE THE OIL LIGHT NO LONGER APPEARED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE THIS SUMMER 2015 AND ONCE LAST SUMMER 2014. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NO CODES WERE FOUND ON ALL OCCASIONS. I HAVE A LIFETIME MOPAR WARRANTY HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE, THEREFORE THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE ROOT CAUSE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ALSO COMPLETED OIL CONSUMPTION TESTING AND FOUND NO ISSUES. I WAS ABLE TO USE MY CELL PHONE TO RECORD THE OIL LIGHT SHOWING THE LAST TIME THE ISSUE OCCURRED. I HAVE ALSO FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH DODGE. DODGE SUGGESTED THAT THERE COULD POSSIBLY BE ELECTRICAL ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND THE TRANSMISSION WARNING SIGNAL ILLUMINATED.

WINDOWS ARE SUPPOSE TO GO DOWN JUST A BIT WHEN DOOR HANDLES ARE TOUCHED TO BE ABLE TO OPEN & CLOSE DOOR. MINE DONT WORK ALL THE TIME..IT HAS DONE THIS WHEN ITS COLD & HOT OUT--SO TEMPERATURE IS NOT AFFECTING DOOR. HAVE TAKEN TO 2 DEALERSHIPS WHO HAVE CHECKED THEM BY TRYING THEM 1 TIME AND SAID THEY WORKED FINE-- I GET LOCKED IN AND OUT OF CAR AND HAVE TO FORCIBLY OPEN THE DOOR BY HITTING IT WITH MY FULL WEIGHT & SHOULDER TO GET OUT OF CAR WHILE ITS PARKED.

IT WAS OBSERVED THAT A GAS SMELL WAS NOTICED WHILE IN MY CAR WHEN PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND THREW OUT MY VEHICLE CABIN. AFTER A DAY OR SO I CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND REQUESTED TO BRING IT IN DUE TO A STRONG GAS VAPOR SMELL COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. THEY SAY IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. HAD MY FUEL SYSTEM REPLACED AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL I AM DRIVING A CAR BOMB AND AM JUST WAITING FOR IT TO EXPLODE. I FEEL THAT THE COMPANY HAS NO RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO BUY THEIR CARS.ALSO WHILE DRIVING ON MY WAY HOME DOING ABOUT 60 MPH IN THE RIGHT LANE ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I COULDN'T EVEN STEER THE CAR, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, BREAKS LOCKED UP , HAD TO LET THE CAR COAST INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE, LUCKLY THERE WEREN'T ANY CARS IN FRONT OR BEHIND ME. WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. WHILE IN THE EMERGENCY LANE PUT THE CAR IN PARK TURNED OFF THEIR IGNITION, TURNED ON THE IGNITION PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE, PUT IT BACK IN PARK TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AGAIN, STARTED IT AGAIN PUT IN DRIVE. BUT STILL KEPT STALING HAD TO HAVE IT PUT ON A TRAILER AND HAULED BACK TO DEALERSHIP. THEY STILL COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT . NO CODES WOULD SHOW UP AND THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS A CODE SHOWED UP. DEATHTRAPS ARE WHAT THESE ARE.

IT WAS OBSERVED THAT A GAS SMELL WAS NOTICED WHILE IN MY CAR WHEN PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND THREW OUT MY VEHICLE CABIN. AFTER A DAY OR SO I CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND REQUESTED TO BRING IT IN DUE TO A STRONG GAS VAPOR SMELL COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. THEY ACTED VERY UNCONCERNED AND SAID NO APPOINTMENT WAS AVAILABLE UNTIL THE FOLLOWING WEEK. SAME DAY I TOOK MY CARE TO A SERVICE SHOP AND ASKED THEM TO RUN A DIAGNOSTICS CHECK TO LOCATE THE SMELL. AFTER A HOUR THE SERVICE REPAIR MAN LOCATED AND FOUND THAT MY RIGHT REAR FUEL MODULE WAS LEAKING GAS UNDERNEATH MY RIGHT PASSENGER REAR BACK SEAT. IMMEDIATELY I CALLED BACK TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE HEALTH HAZARD OF DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR BOMB. AT THAT POINT I WAS REQUESTED TO BRING MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP. COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE FUEL TANK ITSELF. THE NEW PLASTIC GAS TANKS THEY USE SOMETIMES SHIFT FROM OVER EX-POSER TO THE WEATHER ELEMENTS AND BROKE THE SEAL OF THE O - RING TO THE FUEL MODULE THAT IS CONNECTED TO MY GAS TANK. THE SERVICE MANAGER EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE NEW GAS TANKS AND THEY WILL HAVE TO REPLACE MY GAS TANK AND FUEL MODULE TO FIX THE DEFECT.

2 DAYS PRIOR TO FAILURE I NOTICED A WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE AFTER WHICH THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVEN UNTIL 4/2/15. ON 4/2/15, UPON RETURNING HOME AFTER DRIVING THE CAR, I NOTICED THE WINDOWS WERE VERY SLOW TO ROLL UP. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TRIED A RESTART, WOULD NOT START, APPEARED TO BE A DEAD BATTERY. WHEN WIFE ARRIVED HOME WE JUMP STARTED THE CAR AND PROCEEDED TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER. ON THE WAY THE CAR WAS VERY SLUGGISH, ALMOST STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND VARIOUS DASH LIGHTS CAME ON; BATTERY, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL. THE CAR FINALLY STALLED ABOUT 1/8TH MILE FROM DEALER AND WAS TOWED THE REST OF THE WAY. ON FRIDAY, 4/3, A SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WERE BAD. IT WAS AT THAT TIME I LEARNED ABOUT A RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR WAS IN PROGRESS FOR 2011 TO 2014 V-6 EQUIPPED CHRYSLER VEHICLES. MY CAR IS A 2010 WITH A 5.7L V-8, HOWEVER AFTER CHECKING POST ON A CHALLENGER FORUM, I DISCOVERED MY CAR HAD THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE V-6 EQUIPPED VEHICLES PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. I SPOKE WITH A SERVICE TECH WHO SAID HE KNOWS OF OTHER V-8 EQUIPPED CHALLENGERS THAT SUFFERED AN ALTERNATOR FAILURE AND WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THE RECALL IS EXPANDED. ALSO, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE BATTERY IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY ESP EVEN THOUGH THE ALTERNATOR IS CLEARLY THE CAUSE OF THE BATTERY FAILURE. *TR

ETC LIGHT FLASHES CONSTANTLY AND THE CAR DOESN'T RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL VERY WELL. I'VE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND MANY COMPLAIN THERE IS NO RIGHT FIX OTHER THAN REPLACING THE ETC. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

THE POWER STEERING HAS LOST FUNCTION AT LOW IDLE IN MY LOW MILEAGE 2010 RT CLASSIC, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. *TR

I HEARD A TERRIBLE WHINE AND THEN SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE HOOD AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. LUCKILY, I WAS A BLOCK AWAY FROM MY HOUSE SO I PULLED IT INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR. THE ALTERNATOR WINDINGS WERE BLACK AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. BATTERY DIED FROM NOT BEING CHARGED. I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR FROM A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND THE CAR RUNS FINE. I WAS ALSO ABLE TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY AND IT STILL IS WORKING. BY THE WAY, THE CAR USED TO DIE ONCE A MONTH OR SO WHEN I WOULD BE TURNING RIGHT INTO A PARKING LOT. SINCE I HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR, I DO NOT HAVE THAT PROBLEM ANYMORE. *TR

WHILE DRIVIVG ON MY WAY HOME DOING ABOUT 60MPH IN THE RIGHT LANE ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I COULDN'T EVEN STEER THE CAR, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP NO BREAKING CAPEABILITY, HAD TO LET THE CAR COAST INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE, LUCKLY THERE WEREN'T ANY CARS IN FRONT OR BEHAIND ME. WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. WHILE IN THE EMERGENCY LANE PUT THE CAR IN PARK TURNED OFF THER IGNITION, TURNED ON THE IGNITION PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND THE CAR WOULD MOVE, PUT IT BACK IN PARK TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AGAIN, STARTED IT AGAIN PUT IN DRIVE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN: 10V475000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,364.

WHILE DOING AN OIL CHANGE ON MY CAR, I FOUND THAT THE POWER STEERING HOSE WAS LEAKING WHERE THE HOSE IS CRIMPED TO THE HARD LINE. AFTER SOME ONLINE SEARCHING I FOUND RECALL 10V475000 RELATED TO THIS SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL, CHRYSLER DOES NOT INCLUDE THE BUILD DATE OF MY VEHICLE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MY VEHICLE, WHICH WAS BUILT ONLY A FEW MONTHS PRIOR TO THE RECALL, WOULD NOT BE COVERED WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRING WITH MY VEHICLE IS IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL. POWER STEERING LINES ON A 3 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT FAIL THIS EARLY. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON SR 10 EASBOUND AND AFTER PASSING THE FL STATE LINE COMING FROM ALABAMA, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT THE ENGINE STOPPED. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST DODGE DEALERSHIP TO PENSACOLA, FL. THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE BROKEN TIMING BELT CHAIN THAT DODGE HAS A NATIONAL RECALL ON. THE REPAIR COST OF THE DAMAGE IS $4500 (VALVES, CYLINDER-HEAD ETC.) AND DODGE WOULD NOT GIVE AUTHORIZATION TO THE DEALER TO REPAIR IT FREE OF CHARGE TO ME CLAIMING THAT THE CAR HAS A REBUILT TITLE. THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE, IT'S A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT MY CAR WAS IN A SMALL ACCIDENT AND IT'S REAR WAS REPAIRED BY USING ORIGINAL PARTS. IT WAS INSPECTED AND GIVEN NOT A SALVAGE BUT A REBUILT TITLE THAT IS A MARKETABLE TITLE.I BELIEVE THAT BY LAW THEY SHOULD BE OBLIGATED TO REPAIR IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. UPDATED 10/22/14*LJ UPDATED 5/19/2015 *JS

HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER WITH LESS THAN 40,000 MILES. TOOK CAR TO SHOP AT DODGE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON (AT 38,000 MILES). AFTER NOT DIAGNOSING MY CAR CORRECTLY ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THEY FINALLY "DETERMINED" THAT THE CAR NEEDED A NEW POWER MODULE, AND SEVERAL ENGINE SENSORS WERE FAULTY AND NOT WORKING. *TR

I PURCHASED MY CHALLENGER IN 2011 AND QUICKLY BECAME AWARE THAT THE HEADREST PUT MY HEAD IN A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE PUSHED-FORWARD POSITION. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS AT MANIPULATING THE SEAT POSITION I CAME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT MADE IT TOLERABLE, BUT ON ANY LONG DRIVE (HALF AN HOUR OR MORE) I GET A STIFF NECK AND HEADACHE. I HAD NO HISTORY OF NECK PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THIS TIME. OVER TIME I SEEM TO HAVE DEVELOPED CHRONIC NECK STIFFNESS, MUSCLE TENSION AND NUMBNESS IN MY FINGERS. MY NECK HAS NOW STARTED CRACKING WHEN I TURN MY HEAD SUDDENLY. IT HAS NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE, BUT IT HAS SERIOUSLY AGGRAVATED THE PROBLEM. THE HEADACHES IT CAUSES ARE SEVERE AND CAN LAST WEEKS. I HAVE NOTICED WHENEVER I TAKE A "VACATION" FROM DRIVING MY CAR FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AT A TIME THE PROBLEM IMPROVES. JUST THIS WEEK, THOUGH, MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AND I HAVE A RENTAL, A 2013 CHEVY IMPALA. THIS CAR IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE REGARDING HEAD RESTRAINT PLACEMENT. NO MATTER WHAT SEAT POSITION I TRY, IT PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD AT A SHARP ANGLE. BY THE TIME I DRIVE HOME FROM WORK - 20 MINUTES - I AM ALMOST SICK FROM THE DISCOMFORT AND PAIN. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE... RECONSIDER THE LEGISLATION PASSED TO MAKE THESE NEW HEAD RESTRAINTS "SAFER" FOR ME. I MAY NEVER, EVER BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I SUFFER WHIPLASH INJURIES, BUT I AM CERTAINLY FEELING "WHIPLASH" PAIN. I BELIEVE IT IS CAUSING ME PERMANENT INJURY. THERE MUST BE A COMPROMISE TO MAKE CARS SAFER WITHOUT CHRONIC PAIN ISSUES FOR THEIR DRIVERS. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE, SO I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE. I WOULD FIND A NEW CAR, BUT ALL NEWER MODELS I LIKE SEEM TO HAVE THIS DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO, OTHER THAN REMOVING OR MODIFYING MY HEADREST TO TRY AND GET SOME RELIEF. SURELY A BETTER RULE IS PREFERABLE TO MY SOLUTION WHICH LEAVES ME COMPLETELY UNPROTECTED. *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 35 MPH. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER RT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED MY THERE WAS ISSUES WITH THE TIMING CHAIN AND THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND THAT THERE WOULD BE NO CHARGE TO ME FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN. WHEN I PICKED UP MY 2010 CHALLENGER RT A WEEK LATER THE CHECK ENGINE WAS STILL ON AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO DIAGNOSE IT FURTHER. THE NEXT DAY THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THE MDS SOLENOID WIRING TO THE MAIN HARNESS HAD MELTED AND THAT THE ENGINE HARNESS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURES WARRANTY OR MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT IT WOULD BE $2000 OUT OF POCKET TO ME. THE DEALERSHIP NEVER GAVE ANY EXPLANATION WHY THE WIRING MELTED AT THE MDS SOLENOID TO THE MAIN HARNESS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. AT THE TIME I ONLY HAD 38,000 MILES ON MY CAR. *JS

HARD SHIFTING SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHEN STOPPED THE CAR FAILS TO ENGAGE FIRST GEAR AND IS ALSO EXTREMELY HARD TO GET INTO REVERSE. BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR A FEW DAYS NOW AND IS GETTING HARDER TO SHIFT WHILE DRIVING.DODGE HAS A STAR CASE NOTICE (STAR CASE # [XXX]-BAD GREASE IN THE 2009 TREMECS) ABOUT GREASE ON THE INPUT SHAFT SPLINE THAT THE CLUTCH SLIDES ON GETTING DIRTY FROM TOO MUCH GREASE AND DIRT WHICH MAKES THE DISC STICK AND NOT FULLY DISENGAGING.THIS TRANSMISSION IS ALSO IN THE NEW CHEVY CAMARO AND FORD MUSTANG SO IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION MANUFACTURER TREMEC. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT OR ASSEMBLY LINE DEFECT AND SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH INJURY OCCUR.

2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THERE APPEARED TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION STICKING BETWEEN SHIFTS AS WELL AS BECOMING STUCK AFTER PARK. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO EXCESSIVE GREASE ON THE INPUT SHAFT SPLINES COLLECTING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF DIRT, WHICH DID NOT ALLOW SMOOTH MOVEMENT OF THE CLUTCH DISC ON THE INPUT SHAFT. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, THE KEY FELL OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE AFTER MARKET SECURITY SYSTEM WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE AND THE IGNITION MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V200000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND DECELERATING TO ENTER I40 WEST OF ASHVILLE, NC. ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A SAFE STOP AT THE RIGHT SHOULDER. IF THE FAILURE HAD HAPPENED 10 MILES FARTHER THEIR WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ENOUGH SHOULDER ON EITHER SIDE. TOWED CAR TO DODGE DEALER, WAS INFORMED NEXT DAY THAT TIMING CHAIN FAILED (5.7 L HEMI AUTO ). VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT DEALER 1 WEEK PREVIOUSLY AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS FOR THE TIMING CHAIN RECALL WERE ON BACK ORDER AND IT WOULD BE 4-6 WEEKS TILL I COULD GET THE REPAIR. POTENTIALLY VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. VEHICLE IS BEING REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

AFTER CHANGING A DEAD BATTERY THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON (SOLID WHEN STARTING AND RUNNING). BEFORE CHANGING THE BATTERY THERE WAS NO ABNORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS OR NOTICEABLE HORSEPOWER ISSUES. THE MANUAL STATES TO TAKE THESE ACTIONS "IF THE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, SAFELY BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, PLACE THE SHIFT LEVER IN PARK, AND CYCLE THE IGNITION KEY. THE LIGHT SHOULD TURN OFF. IF THE LIGHT REMAINS LIT WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, YOUR VEHICLE WILL USUALLY BE DRIVABLE. HOWEVER, SEE AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR SERVICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE." IF THE LIGHT IS FLASHING WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, IMMEDIATE SERVICE IS REQUIRED. IN THIS CASE, YOU MAY EXPERIENCE REDUCED PERFORMANCE, AN ELEVATED/ROUGH IDLE OR ENGINE STALL, AND YOUR VEHICLE MAY REQUIRE TOWING." AFTER I CHANGED THE BATTERY, I STARTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND I HAD NO HORSEPOWER. SO AFTER PERFORMING VERY COMMON MAINTENANCE (CHANGING THE BATTERY), I HAVE TO DECIDE IF I AM GOING TO DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE MANUAL VAGUELY INTERPRETS THIS ERROR CODE AND HOW TO PROCEED TO FIX IT? THESE IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE CHRYSLER USES THE WORDING "USUALLY BE DRIVABLE" THE LOSS OF ANY THROTTLE CONTROL IS DANGEROUS. MY VEHICLE IS DRIVABLE, BUT ONLY AT 5 MPH. THIS IS THE ONLY INFORMATION CHRYSLER HAS IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER GROUP LLC CUSTOMER CENTER AND THAT WAS ALL THE INFORMATION THEY HAD AVAILABLE ALSO. CASE NUMBER [XXX]. DOES CHRYSLER HAVE KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE ETC AND HOW TO INTERPRET THE ERROR CODE? WHY WOULD THIS HAPPEN AFTER A BATTERY CHANGE? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE WAS PARKED, WITH ALL POWER OFF, WINDOWS UP, DOORS LOCKED. PASSENGER REAR QUARTER PANEL MARKER LIGHT SHORTED AND CAUGHT FIRE, RESULTING IN CHARRED PAINT, MELTED LIGHT ASSEMBLY, MELTED WIRING, AND MELTED REAR BUMPER. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON 4TH OF JULY FOR A HOLIDAY CELEBRATION. SHIFTED FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR AT 35 MPH AND THE SHIFTER HANDLE BROKE OFF. I HAD TO VERY CAREFULLY TURN AROUND AND DRIVE HOME WITH THIS BROKEN SHIFTER HANDLE. AT ONE POINT THE HANDLE CAME OUT OF THE MOUNT AND I HAD TO FIND THE HOLE AGAIN FOR THE SHIFT HANDLE WITH THE DUST BOOT OBSCURING MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING. SINCE IT WAS A HOLIDAY WEEKEND I DECIDED THIS WAS A TIME TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER HANDLE WITH THE HURST SHIFTER HANDLE SUPPLIED BY DODGE AS A PART OF MY AUTO PURCHASE USING MOPAR BUCKS. AFTER I INSTALLED THIS STRONGER SHIFTER/HANDLE I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER TO SHOW THEM THE OBVIOUS SAFELY HAZARD FROM THE BROKEN SHIFTER HANDLE. THE DEALER TOOK THIS OPPORTUNITY TO RIDICULE ME AND MAKE IT APPEAR THAT I MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG TO BREAK A PART LIKE THIS. I ASKED THEM TO CONTACT DODGE TO NOTIFY THEM OF A SAFETY HAZARD AND THEY WOULD NOT DO THIS. THEY TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I BELIEVE THE WEAK ALLOY IN DODGE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER SHIFT HANDLES SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM PRODUCTION AND REPLACED WITH STRONGER STEEL LIKE THE SHIFT HANDLE SUPPLIED WITH HURST SHIFTERS. I BELIEVE THE ENGINEERS AT DODGE NEED TO KNOW THESE PARTS ARE BREAKING FROM REGULAR USE. THIS IS A SAFELY HAZARD. I HAVE THE BROKEN SHIFT HANDLE FOR INSPECTION IF ANYBODY IN INTERESTED. *TR

TIMING CHAIN BROKE. *TR

THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT,BUT I HAD TO HAVE ALL FOUR ROTORS REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME,THEN CAME THE LOUD CLUNK IN THE FRONT END OF CAR,TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT,THEY SAID IT WAS THE TIE RODS,SO THEY WERE REPLACED,NOT LONG AFTER THAT ANOTHER RATTLE FROM FRONT END STARTED,TOOK IT IN AGAIN,THEY SAID IT WAS THE SWAY BARS,SO THEY REPLACED THEM,AND ABOUT A WEEK LATER THE CLUNK WAS BACK,SAME CLUNK AS THE FIRST ONE. THIS WASN'T MAKING THE CLUNK UNTIL THEY G REPLACED THE SWAY BARS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER,NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THE UPPER BALL JOINTS ARE BAD, SO HERE GOES ANOTHER 3 OR 4 HUNDRED DOLLARS. THIS SHOULDN'T BE GOING OUT IN THIS CAR. COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHY? *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. THE SERVICE DEPT NOTIFIED ME THAT MY TIMING CHAIN BROKE. THE ENGINE IS PRETTY MUCH SHOT, I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT A LOT OF DODGE FORUMS AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING QUITE OFTEN. *TR

ENGINE QUIT WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO WARNING! I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT IT DIDN'T QUIT ON ONE OF THE BACK ROADS I DRIVE EVERY DAY TO WORK, BECAUSE THERE ARE NO SHOULDERS TO PULL OVER ON, AND I WILL MOST LIKELY BE REAR ENDED WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN, AND I KNOW IT WILL.. I CAN TELL THE FAILURE IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN FROM MY PAST EXPERIENCE, AND I HAVE NOTIFIED CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT IT, BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

TIMING CHAIN BROKE WHILE DRIVING. COMPLETE ENGINE SHUTDOWN. HAD IT HAPPENED LESS THAN 2 MILES EARLIER I WOULD HAVE BEEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THIS A MAJOR CONCERN TO ME BECAUSE I KNOW OF MORE THAT 50 CASES OF TIMING CHAIN FAILURE ON 2009 THRU 2011 CHALLENGERS WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS AND THE 5.7L V8 ENGINE. *TR

I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND MADE A STOP. I WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. HAD TO STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION TO TURN IT BACK ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK TO THE FLOORBOARD WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND APPLY THE BRAKES UNTIL THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

ON 9/26/13 I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROX. 60 MILES PER HOUR, I THEN SAW SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON THE DASH AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST DOWN A BRIDGE AND OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. AFTER A TEAR DOWN OF THE ENGINE, I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND CAUSED EXTENSIVE ENGINE DAMAGE. 2 WEEKS LATER AND I'M STILL WAITING ON THE PARTS TO BE DELIVERED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE REPAIRS TO BE MADE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I SEE THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER DODGE CHALLENGER OWNERS WITH THIS YEAR AND ENGINE TYPE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. SINCE I HAVE DONE ALL OF THE REQUIRED SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, I FEEL THAT I AM NOT AT FAULT FOR THIS ISSUE. I NOW AWAIT TO SEE THE OUTCOME OF HOW MY CAR PERFORMS ONCE THESE EXTENSIVE REPAIRS ARE MADE AND HOW THIS WILL EFFECT MY TRADE IN VALUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING APPROXIMATELY 70-75 MPH IN MY 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T (AUTO TRANSMISSION). THE CYLINDERS DEACTIVATED FROM 8 TO 4 AND THEN I HEARD A LOUD RATTLING NOISE AND MY CAR LOST POWER. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE CAR ROLLED TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. I TRIED STARTING THE CAR AGAIN BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN. I GOT THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE. MY CAR ONLY HAD 78,000 MILES SO A BROKEN TIMING CHAIN SEEMS UNUSUAL.

ENGINE STALLED IN TRAFFIC. MY WIFE ,A NURSE LIVES 3 MILES FROM WORK. THE AIR CONDITIONING HAS ALWAYS BEEN POOR WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AN MORE EFFICIENT ON THE HIGHWAY BUT NEVER REALLY COLD. HER CAR HAS HAD THE WATER PUMP REPLACED FOR LEAKING SHAFT SEAL. ENGINE SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE SHOWED HOT. TOOK TO DEALER, AND AGAIN THE WATER PUMP GASKET WAS LEAKING. THEY SAID THAT WAS THE REASON THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS NOT UP TO SPECIFICATIONS. NO CODES IN THE COMPUTER. AFTER CHANGING THE ORIFICE TUBE. STILL NOT COOLING. NOW CHANGING THE DRYER AN CONDENSER. STILL DOESN'T COOL. FREON HAS BEEN DRAINED AN REFILLED NOW 5 TIMES DURING TROUBLE SHOOTING. COME TO THINK ABOUT IT. THE CAR HAS STALLED TWICE ON ME TURNING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT MY LODGE. THIS ENGINE STALLING IS A CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE SHE IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE STEERING AN BRAKES. I SEE IT'S AN ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE A MAJOR INJURY HAPPENS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON I-55 NORTHBOUND 10 MILES NORTH OF BLOOMINGTON, IL, WHEN I LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE. I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP (SAM LEMAN) NOTED NO COMPRESSION AND A BROKEN TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONER. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT A DEALERSHIP FOR ENGINE PROBLEMS (PREVIOUS THREE IN APRIL 2013 FOR A FAULTY OIL CONTROL SOLENOID). IT APPEARS THAT THE BROKEN TIMING CHAIN IS COMMON WITH MY MODEL OF CHALLENGER (R/T SUB MODEL WITH 5.7L ENGINE (WITH VVT AND MDS) AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). *TR

2010 CHALLENGER SRT8 WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. 7800 MILES. TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25MPH. HAD TO APPLY BRAKES HARD TO STOP. ENGINE STALLED. HAD TO PUT IN PARK AND RESTART THE CAR.

TRAVELING UPHILL-SLIGHT INCLINE- AT APPROX. 55 MPH ON CANYON ROAD WHEN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, FLASHED. THEN ALL DASH LIGHT INDICATORS CAME ON AS ENGINE FAILED. COASTED OFF TO SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHERE I WAS STRANDED WITH NO CELL SERVICE. ABLE TO GET HELP FROM A CHRYSLER SERVICE REP WHO HAPPENED TO HAVE A COMPUTER FOR DIAGNOSTIC PURPOSES. COMPUTER INDICATED "CAM SHAFT SENSOR FAILURE". REP ADVISED REMOVE SENSOR, LOOK TO SEE IF "GEAR" TURNS WHEN ENGINE IS CRANKED. IF GEAR TURNED THEN TIMING CHAIN OK, AND IT WAS JUST A BAD SENSOR. IF GEAR DIDN'T TURN THEN THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE. VEHICLE TOWED HOME AND SENSOR REMOVED. GEAR DIDN'T TURN WHEN ENGINE CRANKED, SO THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER CONFIRMED TIMING CHAIN BROKE- ALSO DAMAGED SEVERAL VALVES. COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AT THE MOMENT. *TR

WHILE COMING AROUND A SHARP LEFT BEND IN THE ROAD OF A WINDING ROAD MY CAR STALLED AND I HAD A VERY HARD TIME STEERING AND BRAKING TO GET THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T END UP IN THE DITCH AND ALSO VERY LUCKY THAT THE DRIVER BEHIND ME WAS ALERT AND DID NOT CRASH INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR. I RESTARTED MY CAR AND IT SEEMED TO BE OK. I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR SOMETIME AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT. DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER POSTINGS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS ABOUT IT. *TR

I WAS COMMUTING TO WORK ON THE WESTPARK TOLLWAY IN HOUSTON IN TRAFFIC AT APPROXIMATELY 7:00AM WHEN MULTIPLE ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE, AVOIDING A COLLISION BARELY AS ALL SYSTEMS WERE DEAD. AFTER 4 DAYS IN THE SHOP IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A TIMING CHAIN FAILURE WHICH IN TURN CAUSED A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE, BENT VALVES, DAMAGED PISTONS ETC. UPON SEARCHING THE WEB I FOUND 39 INSTANCES OF THIS FAILURE ON ONE FORUM. PARTICULARLY MODEL YEARS 2009 TO 2011 AND CARS WITH 35 TO 40,000 MILES AND MDS. MINE HAS 44,000 AND ALL FACTORY MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN FOLLOWED. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TROUBLESOME AS SHOULD THIS EVENT HAPPEN IN A HEAVY TRAFFIC OR PASSING SITUATION THERE COULD BE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS ONE HAS NO POWER TO DO ANYTHING. IT IS CLEAR FROM THE NUMBER OF INSTANCES AND WARRANTY CLAIMS THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WHICH I FIND TROUBLING. THERE ARE ALOT OF CARS THAT ARE JUST NOW COMING INTO THE SUSPECT MILEAGE RANGE FOR THIS EVENT AND IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A PERSON OR PERSONS ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BY THIS. *TR

WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AT ABOUT 5-10 MPH, CAR STALLED. RESULTING IN NO POWER STEERING, POOR BRAKES, AND ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND PRESSED ON THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON, CAR STALLED OUT AND I HAD TO AVOID TRAFFIC AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THIS ALL HAPPENED AT 70 MPH, CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALER SHIP WHERE A BROKEN TIMING CHAIN WAS DISCOVERED, DODGE HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR OVER TWO YEARS AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE A SAFE FIX FOR THIS. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 40 ON MY WAY TO WORK IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC I WAS IN THE FAST LANE AND HEARD A POP IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON AND I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER. I PULLED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT. WHEN THE CAR WOULDN'T RESTART I PUT ON MY BLINKER AND MOVED TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. I RAN THE CODE WITH MY ONBOARD COMPUTER AND IT TOLD ME THAT THE CAM SHAFT WAS IN THE WRONG POSITION. A ROLL BACK CAME AND TOOK ME TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I LEFT WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. AN HOUR LATER WHILE I WAS AT WORK I GOT A CALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT LETTING ME KNOW THAT MY TIMING CHAIN HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND THREATENING ME THAT IF THEY FOUND THAT I WAS ABUSING THE ENGINE THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY AND I WOULD BE PAYING FOR THIS PROBLEM OUT OF POCKET. WITH THE VAST NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON HTTP://WWW.CHALLENGERTALK.COM/FORUMS/F188/TIMING-CHAIN-FAILURE-DODGE-CHALLENGER-69216/ I WOULD THINK THAT THE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE HERE WOULD BE LOOKED IN TO. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH WHEN A SMALL POP WAS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE BAY. THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND I LOST ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP THE VEHICLE ON THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT INCIDENT. I TRIED RESTARTING THE ENGINE, WHICH JUST CAUSED THE STARTER TO RUN FOR 5+ SECONDS BEFORE TURNING OFF THE START SEQUENCE (PUSH BUTTON START). THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE CAUSE HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE A SNAPPED TIMING CHAIN AND BROKEN PLASTIC CHAIN GUIDE. THIS IS A 2010 5.7L MDS AUTO TRANSMISSION CHALLENGER. DODGE'S RESPONSE IS TO REPLACE THE CHAIN AND GUIDE AND SEE IF THAT ENABLES THE ENGINE TO RUN. THIS IS AN INTERFERENCE FIT ENGINE WHICH WILL MEAN SEVERAL VALVES WILL HAVE STRUCK THE PISTON HEADS AS A RESULT OF THE TIMING CHAIN BREAKING. IN ADDITION, THE VALVE HEADS AND PISTON HEADS MAY HAVE SUSTAIN ADDITIONAL DAMAGE. THE DEALERSHIP HAD RECOMMENDED TO DODGE A COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. WHILE, I FIND DODGE'S SOLUTION TO BE WHOLE INAPPROPRIATE, THE FAILURE OF THE CHAIN IS OF MORE CONCERN. APPROXIMATELY 40 OCCURRENCES OF THIS HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED AT HTTP://WWW.CHALLENGERTALK.COM/FORUMS/F188/TIMING-CHAIN-FAILURE-DODGE-CHALLENGER-69216/ WITH NO SOLUTION BEING PRESENTED BY DODGE TO STOP THE GUIDES FROM BREAKING AND THUS THE CHAINS SNAPPING. DODGE'S INABILITY TO ADEQUATELY AND PREEMPTIVELY ADDRESS THIS SITUATION WILL RESULT IN MORE INSTANCES OF CHALLENGERS BEING DISABLED WHILE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON A CROWDED INTERSTATE, SUCH AS I-75/85 THROUGH ATLANTA. I AM LUCKY MY INCIDENT DID NOT OCCUR DURING HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHICH MAY HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT, INJURY, OR WORSE. *TR

IF CHRYSLER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR, THEY WOULD REMEMBER IT FROM 3 DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED IT FROM WESTPOINTE DODGE IN OKLAHOMA. I HAD PROBLEMS FROM DAY ONE, MAINLY FROM THE LIES I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP, I BOUGHT IT NEW! I WAS TOLD OF ALL THE EXTRAS ON THIS VEHICLE INCLUDING A NAVAGATION SYSTEM, I TRIED TO GET THE NAVAGATION SYSTEM TO WORK, NO LUCK. I CALLED THEM AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK, PROBABLY JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE NAVAGATION SYSTEM HOOKED UP. I TOOK IT BACK, THEY SAID IT HAD ONE, THEN LOOKED AND CHECKED AND ON AND ON, THEN SAID NO NAVAGATION SYSTEM, THEY INSTALLED AN AFTER MARKET MIRROR SO I WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL ME WHAT DIRECTIONS I WAS GOING. THAT WAS NOT THE END THERE. I SENT 10 PAGES OF NOTES TO CHRYSLER EXPLAINING ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAD WITH THE VEHICLE. THEY GAVE ME FREE OIL CHANGES. NOW, IN MARCH, THE CAR STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING, IT WOULD DIE AFTER RUNNING ROUGH, THEN AFTER 2-3 TRIES IT WOULD START. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MAY 1ST, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM, PROBABLY JUST BAD GAS, I HAD GOT IT BACK 2 DAYS LATER. THE NEXT DAY, IT WOULD NOT START, AFTER A FEW MORE TRIES IT DID START. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT BACK TO THEM ON MAY 6TH. I CALLED THEM MAY 7TH, SAID THEY THOUGHT THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM AND CHANGED SOMETHING. I CALLED THEM YESTERDAY AND THEY SAID IT STILL HAD THE PROBLEM AND THEY HAD CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY COULD HELP FIND THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED TODAY AND SAID THEY "THINK" THEY HAVE IT FIXED, BUT WILL NEED TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY AND START IT AGAIN TO SEE IF IT IS FIXED. THIS IS A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAT 20 THOUSAND MILES. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAN IF AND WHEN I GET IT BACK,I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE PROBLEMS. *TR

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY HOME LATE FROM WORK AT 65 MPH, WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE STOPPED. NO POWER, NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES. PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL TO TRY AND RESTART: WOULD TURN OVER NOT START. HAD TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER EXPEDITIOUSLY AND WAS STUCK THERE W/ A CONCRETE BARRIER TO MY RIGHT. CAR WOULD NOT START, WITH 18 WHEELER BIG RIGS BLOWING BY ME AT 65 MPH STUCK IN THE CAR. EXTREME DANGER. HAD TO GET IT TOWED 16 MI. TO DEALER AT 8:30 PM. EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE TO ME AND COMMUTERS AROUND ME--DEAD CAR, NO WARNING, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. PLEASE ADDRESS WITH CHRYSLER CORP. AS THIS IS A KNOWN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE!!! TOOK TO DEALER AND SAID THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE. HUH? AT 36,500 MI.??!! COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND UNACCEPTABLE. SEE POSTS HERE: HTTP://WWW.CHALLENGERTALK.COM/FORUMS/ARCHIVE/INDEX.PHP/T-69216.HTML. I PERSONALLY WILL NOT TRUST THIS CAR EVER AGAIN--GETTING ATTORNEY AND WILL LEMON THIS THING FOR MY FAMILY'S, AND FELLOW COMMUTERS' SAFETY, AND, IMHO, THE NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND FORCE A RECALL. CLEARLY CHRYSLER IS NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE AND PUTTING THE PUBLIC'S SAFETY AT RISK. NOW THAT THE NHTSA KNOWS ABOUT IT, THEY TOO MUST ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, OR, BE COMPLACENT AND IMPLICITLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DEATHS OR INJURIES RESULTING FROM THIS FATAL, WIDELY KNOWN--SEARCH GOOGLE FOR "CHALLENGER R/T TIMING CHAIN FAILURE"--DESIGN FLAW. THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING THIS EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT NO CAUSE FOR FAILURE WAS DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY DISPATCHED A MECHANIC, WHO REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACED TWO OF THE COMPUTERS. THE FAILURE RECURRED SIX MONTHS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,000. UPDATED 6/17/13 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SHIFT OFF SEVERAL TIMES WHILE MAKING TURNS, AND THEN IT WOULD TAKE A WHILE FOR IT TO RE-START. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO GO INTO NEUTRAL AT TIMES WHEN CHANGING GEARS. ON ONE OCCASION, THE CONSUMER SMELLED AN ODOR OF BURNING WIRES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE RADIO AND FUSE BOX. THE VEHICLE WOULD START AND WHEN IT WAS PUT IN GEAR, IT WOULD STALL. *JB *TR

MY 2010 CHALLENGER RT BURST INTO FLAMES AT AN IDOL. THE ENGINE WIRE HARNESS SHORTED AND CAUGHT FIRE. THANKFULLY I AM A FIREFIGHTER AND SAVED THE VEHICLE. IT HAS LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT. I AM FURIOUS DUE TO THE FACT THAT DODGE WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY WHICH IT SHOULD BE. IT IS A MANUFACTURES FAULT NOT MINE. IT WAS PARKED AND IDLING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE AROUND THAT COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. WHAT IF I WAS IN GRID LOCK TRAFFIC NOT A FIREFIGHTER WITH OUT THE PROPER EXTINGUISHER. A LOT OF PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT AND THEIR VEHICLES CAUGHT FIRE. I LOVE DODGE. HAVE ALL MY LIFE. I AM BAFFLED THAT THEY WILL DENY COVERAGE. IT SICKENS ME THE LACK OF INTEGRITY AND CARE SHOWN. I HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THE DEALERSHIP (MEADOWLAND DODGE OF CARMEL NY) AND CORPORATE. NEITHER ONE COULD EXPLAIN WHY MY VEHICLE WILL NOT BE COVERED. NOR DID THEY HELP TO FIND OUT WHY. JUST A SIMPLE WE ARE NOT COVERING YOU DUE TO OUR FAULTY AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TICKING FIRE BALL TIME BOMB. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND CARE. I WILL BE CONTACTING A LAWYER. ITS A $1200 PART I WILL NOT BE PAYING FOR THIS NOR WILL MY INSURANCE AND MY COPAY TO THEM. I DON'T CARE IF I LOOSE MONEY IN A LAWSUIT. IT IS THE SIMPLE PRINCIPLE OF THE MATTER. THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE WITH DODGE HAS LEFT A VERY BITTER TASTE. THIS IS INEXCUSABLE. ITS LIKE DODGE ONLY CARES ABOUT MAKING MONEY AND NOT ABOUT THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS AND THE PUBLIC'S SAFETY OR CONCERN. I NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR A RENTAL OUT OF MY POCKET. I HAVE BEEN WITH OUT MY VEHICLE FOR OVER A MONTH. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO IT. CORPORATE TOOK A MONTH JUST TO COME LOOK AT IT. SIMPLY FURIOUS. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN FULL. TRUSTING THE COMPANY SAVED UP OVER 5 YEARS INCLUDING MY COMBAT DEPLOYMENT PAY. I HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY LET DOWN BY DODGE AND THE DEALERSHIP. I AM ALSO CONSIDERING MAKING THIS PUBLIC (NEWS, FORUMS, FACEBOOK). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE REAR SUSPENSION FAILED AND DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE SUSPENSION HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,088. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T ROUGHLY SAT FOR 2-3 WINTER MONTHS, DRIVEN 2-3 TIMES DURING THAT PERIOD. WHILE STARTING IT UP IN FEBRUARY THE CAR STARTED THEN STALLED OUT. I TURNED THE KEY BACK TO OFF AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR. I WAS GETTING ON TO THE HIGHWAY MAKING A RIGHT TURN. AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN, MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 35-40MPH THE CAR STALLED AND I HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I RESTARTED AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE AS NORMAL FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. ON FRIDAY MARCH 29TH 2013, I STARTED THE CAR AND IT STALLED AGAIN. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND WENT ON MY WAY TO WORK. I WAS MERGING FROM ONE HIGHWAY TO ANOTHER DOING ABOUT 40-45MPH ON THE ONRAMP WHEN THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE MEDIAN WHILE 3 CARS ALMOST REAR ENDED ME SINCE I HAD NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE. I PUT IT IN PARK, RESTARTED THE CAR AND WENT ON MY WAY. THAT SAME MORNING, I WAS GOING SOUTH BOUND ON THE HIGH WAY IN THE MIDDLE OF MOURNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC INTO THE CITY. I WAS GOING BETWEEN 65-75MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN THE HIGH SPEED LANE AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AND LOST ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE. AFTER COASTING FOR ABOUT 100 YARDS THE CAR SOMEHOW RESTARTED, POWER CAME BACK AND I CONTINUED TO WORK THAT MORNING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CARE TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AS OF 3/31 AND IS BEING LOOKED AT TO FIND THE ISSUE. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON 4 LANE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. WAS ON A BRIDGE WITH NO SHOULDER. ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. VEHICLE WAS COASTING AND SLOWING DOWN RAPIDLY. CARS BEHIND ME WERE HITTING THE BRAKES TO AVOID REAR-ENDING MY VEHICLE AS I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER. ONCE ACROSS BRIDGE, I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER. ENGINE WOULD TURNOVER BUT WOULD NOT START. TOWED TO DODGE DEALERSHIP. DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS BROKEN TIMING CHAIN, WHICH CAUSED CAMSHAFT TO STOP TURNING. THREE EXHAUST VALVES WERE THUS HELD OPEN WHILE THE CRANKSHAFT CONTINUED TURNING, CAUSING PISTONS TO HIT VALVES, BENDING VALVES AND DENTING PISTON TOPS NEAR EDGE OF PISTON. COMPLETE NEW ENGINE REQUIRED. CHRYSLER CORPORATION IS NOT FORTHCOMING WITH AN EXPLANATION FOR FAILURE OR A CORRECTIVE ACTION. THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETIN PER THE DEALER. I LOOKED ONLINE AT DODGE CHALLENGER USER FORUMS, AND FOUND DOZENS OF OWNERS HAD EXPERIENCED IDENTICAL PROBLEM: AT 35,000-45,000 MILES, DODGE CHALLENGER 5.7 L HEMI WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND MDS (MULTIPLE DISPLACEMENT SYSTEM) CYLINDER CUTOUT ACTIVATED, SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER DUE TO BROKEN TIMING CHAIN. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE NHTSA SHOULD COMPEL CHRYSLER CORPORATION TO DEVELOP A CORRECTIVE ACTION AND RECALL ALL DODGE CHALLENGER VEHICLES WITH 5.7 L HEMI ENGINE IMMEDIATELY. *TR

2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SE, RIGHT REAR CV BOOT RIPPED AND LEAKED GREASE ONTO THE TAIL PIPE AND PASSENGER SIDE, AND WHICH CAUSED A FIRE TO THE TRUNK. VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS, NO REPAIRS CAN BE MADE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE VEHICLE MADE A POP SOUND AND LOST POWER. I WAS FORCED OFF THE HIGHWAY AS THERE WERE NO SHOULDERS AND HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE ACROSS TRAFFIC TO SAFETY. THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAILED, RESULTING IN THE TIMING CHAIN BREAKING. THIS RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE UPPER PORTION OF THE MOTOR, INCLUDING ALL INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVES, MARRING ON THE PISTONS AND CRACKED HEADS. *TR

ON OR ABOUT JUNE OF 2011 I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN GA, AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. AFTER CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURE. DODGE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THOMPSON DODGE IN THOMPSON GA. I WAS TOLD THERE BY THE HEAD MECHANIC THAT MY ENGINE SUFFERED A TOTAL CATASTROPHIC FAILURE . THEY ( MANUFACTURE) DECIDED TO REBUILD INSTEAD OF REPLACING MY ENGINE AS I HAD ASKED. THEN ON THURSDAY 11/22/2012 I WAS DRIVING (60-65 MPH) HOME TO NJ FROM TEXAS. AND THE ENGINE DID THE SAME THING. LEAVING ME STRANDED. AFTER THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A 2010 CHALLENGER WILL BREAK 2 CHAINS WITHIN 2 YEARS. THERE HAS TO BE A UNDERLYING CAUSE FOR THIS. PLEASE ADVISE ME AND RESPOND. I CAN BE REACHED AT [XXX].

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED WAS TRAVELING 25 MPH AND ATTEMPTED A TURN WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR WHENEVER ATTEMPTING A TURN AT 25 MPH. THE CONTACT SHIFTED TO PARK AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 6,800.

WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE CHECK ENGINE OIL AND ESP LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY FOUR CHIMES AND THEN CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND THE STEERING LOCKED. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE CAR STARTED UP AGAIN AND THE CODES TURNED OFF. APPROX 1 MONTH LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED. I WAS MAKING A TURN ON A ROUNDABOUT WHEN THE SAME THING OCCURRED DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING CAPTURED ON THE COMPUTER. THEY REPLACED THE KEY FOB AND SAID THAT THIS SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. 4-5 MONTHS LATER, I WAS IN RENO, NV. I WAS DRIVING 20-35 MPH AND AGAIN CHECK ENGINE OIL LIGHT, ESP AND FOUR CHIMES AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN, THE STEERING LOCKED, AND I COASTED UNTIL I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PLACED IT IN PARK, STARTED CAR AND OIL AND CODES TURNED OFF. 24 HOURS LATER WHEN DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE SAME THING OCCURRED!!! I PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND LET THE CAR ROLL, CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PLACED CAR IN PARK AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE CAR STARTED AND CODES TURNED OFF. THE FOLLOWING DAY I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT, AS NOTHING WAS RECORDED IN THE INTERNAL COMPUTER. I ASKED FOR THE CAR TO BE KEPT UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT IN THAT ONE WEEK. I ASKED FOR A CO PILOT COMPUTER TO BE PLACED IN THE VEHICLE IN HOPES OF CAPTURING THE PROBLEM WHEN IT OCCURRED, AS THE CODES TURN OFF AFTER CAR IS STARTED. DODGE SENT OUT A REP TO INSPECT VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTION THEY STATED NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND THERE ARE NO CODES STORED ON THE COMPUTER. I AM NOW FACED WITH DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT SHUTS OFF ON ME IN THE CITY AND MOST DANGEROUSLY ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO SET PATTERN AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY GETTING READY TO PULL UP AT A STOP SIGN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STALLS WHILE MOVING. POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE NO LIGHTS OR NOTHING. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED IT HAS HAPPEN TO MANY PEOPLE. LAWSUIT IS WHAT'S GONE END UP IF THIS PROBLEM ISN'T CORRECTED. *TR

MY 2010 CHALLENGER SRT8 WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION STALLED WHEN MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 5:00 PM ON 9/5/12. ENGINE WAS AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND THE AC WAS RUNNING. I WAS TRAVELLING AT ABOUT 35 MPH AND BEGAN BRAKING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO A SERVICE STATION. AS I STARTED INTO THE TURN AT ABOUT 10 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED RESULTING IN LOSS OF BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN AND STOP THE CAR WITH HARD BRAKE PRESSURE. NO INDICATOR WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENTS. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE CAR, BUT THE TRANSMISSION WAS INOPERATIVE. NEITHER DRIVE OR REVERSE WOULD ENGAGE. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY WARNING OR ALERT LIGHTS INDICATING A MALFUNCTION OR TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN AND THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AND WORKED NORMALLY. THERE WERE 6800 MILES ON CAR ON 9/5/12. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED 10 DAYS AGO, AND TSBS WERE CHECKED BEFORE THE PURCHASE. NO MENTION OF ENGINE SHUTOFF ISSUES ARE LISTED ON THE NHTSA DATABASE OF TSBS OR RECALLS. I DID NOT CHECK CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. IF I HAD, AN KNEW TO CHECK ABOUT STALLS, I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. CONSIDERING THE SEVERITY OF THIS ISSUE, THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS DATABASE, AND THE FACT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST 4 OR MORE YEARS, NHTSA SHOULD INITIATE A DEFECT INVESTIGATION IMMEDIATELY. MORE THAN ONE PERSON HAS STATED ON THIS COMPLAINT FORUM THAT THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING CONDITION AND HOPEFULLY SOMEONE DOESN'T HAVE TO DIE TO GET DODGE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. TOO LATE. CHECK OUT COMPLAINT 10395526. APPARENTLY SOMEONE DID. BUT THE COMPLAINT DOESN'T SHOW INJURY OR DEATH AND IT SHOULD BE CORRECTED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 CHALLENGER RT 4.7L HEMI ON THE CA 15 FREEWAY AT 70 MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN. THE WARNING LIGHTS FOR ENGINE AND OIL CAME ON AND I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP. STEERING AND BRAKES REMAINED OPERATIONAL AND LUCKILY I MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER AS THE 15 FREEWAY IS EXTREMELY BUSY AND FAST. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A NEARBY DODGE DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY PLASTIC TIMING CHAIN GUIDES HAD DISINTEGRATED AND CAUSED A BLOWN ENGINE. THE CAR REPAIRS (REBUILT ENGINE) WERE COVERED UNDER THE 100K MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BUT TOOK 4 WEEKS TO COMPLETE. THE CAR HAD 54K FREEWAY MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, WAS REGULARLY MAINTAINED, AND NEVER SHOWED ANY INDICATIONS THAT A SEVERE ISSUE WOULD HAVE BEEN FORTHCOMING. I NOW QUESTION THE LONGEVITY OF THE NEW REBUILT ENGINE AS SAME TIMING CHAIN ASSEMBLY PARTS WERE USED DURING THE REPAIR. NOTICED THERE IS AT LEAST ONE OTHER IDENTICAL REPORT ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE SO REPORTED ON MY INCIDENT. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT MY CHALLENGER HAS STALLED WHEN MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN; THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT A EIGHT MONTHS AGO. YESTERDAY, I SLOWED TO TURN INTO MY OFFICE PARKING LOT. WHEN I WAS MAKING THIS RIGHT-HAND TURN, THE ENGINE STALLED AND I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR - ALMOST HITTING THE CURB. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY DODGE CHALLENGER WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 65-72 MPH AND A WIND NOISE CAME THROUGH EITHER THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW OF THE LEFT 1/4 WINDOW THAT DOES NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN. THIS HOLLOWING NOISE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED 7 TIMES AND NOTHING THE DEALER HAS DONE HAS FIXED IT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS MY IMAGINATION, THE CAR HAS NO NOISES, IT IS NOT THE REAR-DIFFERENTIAL AND MIGHT JUST BE ME. THE WEATHER STRIPPING HAS BEEN REPLACED, FOAM HAS BEEN PUT IN ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE FENDERS VIA THE WHEEL WELL AND NOTHING HAS FIXED THE NOISE. ON SATURDAY OF LAST WEEK, WE MADE A 120 MILE TRIP TO SEE FAMILY AND THE CAR WAS PUT IN TO CRUISE POSITION AND WAS SET AT 72 MPH AND THE NOISE WAS ALMOST DEAFENING. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE LISTED ON THE REPORTS HERE AND IT IS AN ONGOING BATTLE BETWEEN ME AND CHRYSLER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH THE CHECK ENGINE AND OIL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE CONTACT STATED THE ENGINE STARTED FUNCTIONING ABNORMALLY AND THERE WAS A STRONG OIL ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THERE WAS NO OIL LOSS. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED THEY WERE UNABLE TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY IN THE DEALERS POSSESSION. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WAS 30,900.

WHILE MAKING A SLOW RIGHT TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH MY VEHICLE STALLED. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. THE STEERING AND BRAKES ALSO DID NOT FUNCTION. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR TO REGAIN CONTROL. IT STARTED BACK UP RIGHT AWAY AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. ALTHOUGH I DO NOT REMEMBER THE EXACT DATES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 4 PREVIOUS TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO ANSWERS AND THEY ASSUME NOTHING IS WRONG BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER. IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN BEHIND ME OR IN FRONT OF ME THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. EVENTUALLY, THERE LIKELY WILL BE. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED ON THIS PROBLEM AND A SOLUTION MUST BE FOUND ASAP. ACCORDING TO NUMEROUS REPORTS, THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY WITH 2010 DODGE CHALLENGERS. *TR

MY CAR WAS STANDING STILL WAITING FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO CLEAR SO I COULD TURN LEFT. I WAS HIT HARD FROM BEHIND, SENDING ME INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE WHERE I WAS HIT HEAD ON BY ANOTHER CAR. MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY SHOULDER HARNESS FAILED TO FUNCTION. MY CAR SUSTAINED FAR MORE DAMAGE THAN THE OTHER TWO CARS INVOLVED. (MY CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS.) THEIR AIR BAGS DEPLOYED PROPERLY. *TR

THIS VIBRATION BEGAN APPROX. 3 MONTHS AGO. IT IS TRANSMITTED FROM THE FRONT BRAKES TO THE STEERING WHEEL PRIMARILY BETWEEN 45-35 MPH. IT IS LESS EVIDENT AT SPEEDS BELOW THAT, BUT STILL OCCURS. CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER EXPECTING THIS TO BE A WARRANTED REPAIR (11600 MILES) AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A WEARABLE ITEM I.E: WIPER BLADES, TIRES, ETC. I WAS SURPRISED TO SAY THE LEAST. THIS TYPE OF ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON VARIOUS WEBSITES AND REGULATORY ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM REGARDING ONE'S ABILITY TO STOP A TWO TON VEHICLE SAFELY. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD SUDDENLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 40,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 WITH 6.1L V* HEMI ENGINE. 6000 MILES ON IT AND IN PERFECT SHAPE. ON MAY 2ND AT 1PM I CAME OFF THE FREEWAY (AIR CONDITIONER WAS ON) AND SLOWED TO 10 MI/HR TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. POWER STEERING WENT DEAD THAN CAR STOOPED RUNNING. I TOOK IT TO TEMPE DODGE AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE. I GOGGLED IT AND FIND OUT ITS BEEN HAPPENING WITH A LOT OF SRT8S AND HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES; YET TEMPE DODGE IS UNAWARE OF IT??? REALLY!!!!! THIS NEEDS ADDRESSING NOW BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!!!! DODGE IS NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY AS IF THEY WISH IT WOULD GO AWAY. FOR A 40K CAR THIS IS RIDICULOUS!! THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ITEM AND IT NEEDS TO HAVE A ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS COMPLETED BY DODGE ENGINEERS ASAP!!! IF THIS HAPPENS AT HIGHER SPEEDS OR IN SHARPER TURN SOMEONE WILL DIE!! I WANT AN ANSWER. IF DODGE DOES NOT PROVIDE ONE ASAP I WILL MAKE IT MY PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO BE SURE NO ONE BUYS ANOTHER CHALLENGER WITHOUT BEING AWARE OF THE INCIDENTS IN DOCUMENTED FORM. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T WITH A SERIOUS BRAKE DEFECT AT ONLY 15,000 MILES. I AM ONE OF MANY WHO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT ROTORS ON MY VEHICLE DUE TO SEVERE WARPAGE. I WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FROM OTHER OWNERS AND I'VE DONE MY BEST TO "BABY" THE BRAKES TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM FROM HAPPENING, YET IT HAPPENED ANYWAY. IN MY OPINION, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS PROVIDED ON THIS CAR ARE INFERIOR AND NOT CAPABLE OF STOPPING THE CAR UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME (PAST THE 12,000 MILE WARRANTY COVERAGE). AS A RESULT, MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATIONS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND EXTENSIVE TIME/DISTANCE NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS NOT TO BE THE CASE WITH THE SRT MODEL WHICH USES THICKER ROTORS. I IMPLORE YOUR ORGANIZATION INVESTIGATE THIS SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT IN THE SE AND R/T DODGE CHALLENGER MODELS ASAP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SE APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO. THREE DAYS AFTER PICKING THE VEHICLE UP, IT WAS IN THE SHOP. THE MOST RECENT PROBLEMS INVOLVE THE ENGINE MAKING A LOUD CLICKING NOISE. THIS WILL BE THE 4TH TIME THE CAR WILL BE TAKEN TO THE SHOP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIDE ROCKER PANELS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE WERE CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT THE ILLUMINATION OF ANY WARNING INDICATORS. UPON RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY. THE SIMILAR FAILURE OCCURRED FIVE DIFFERENT TIMES ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE DEFECT CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,955.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT'S FATHER WAS DRIVING 20 MPH WHEN A VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO A TRUCK. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE THREE INJURIES REPORTED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,000. UPDATED 02/03/12 UPDATED 02/10/12 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS FORCED TO STOP AND WHEN HE DID ANOTHER TRUCK REAR ENDED HIM AND HE IN TURN HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HIM. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELTS FAILED TO RESTRAIN HIM AND HIS DAUGHTER.

I'VE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS MANY HAVE DESCRIBED WHEN YOUR CHALLENGER LOSES ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT LOW SPEEDS. LUCKILY I WAS PULLING INTO A CAR WASH WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND NOT AT MY SONS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHERE THE DEADLY POTENTIAL OF KILLING SCHOOL KIDS WAS THERE...BY THE WAY I WAS ON THE WAY TO PICK UP MY KID WHEN I MADE A LAST MINUTE CHOICE TO GET A QUICK WASH. SO AS STATED BY EVERYONE ELSE HERE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AN WAS ABLE TO START RIGHT BACK UP AFTERWARDS. NOT KNOWING THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT OTHERS WERE HAVING, I OPENED THE HOOD AND STARTED LOOKING FOR LOSE CABLES OR POPPED CAPS AND SUCH AND FINDING NOTHING. ALSO PRIOR TO TURNING THE CAR OFF I JUMPED INTO THE HIDDEN EPIC MENUS AND TOOK PICTURES OF THE IMPORTANT DATA SUCH AS CHIME CODES, CCN SOFTWARE VERSION JUST IN CASE THERE MIGHT BE AN UPDATE. I NOTICED THE OIL PRESSURE WAS AT 0!!! AFTER EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO WORKING I CHECK THE SAME DETAIL AND IT WAS AT A NORMAL 25PSI. SO TOOK CAR INTO DODGE AND AS NORMAL, "WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND THERE ARE NO ISSUES THAT I KNOW. WE ALSO COULDN'T REPRODUCE IT." REALLY? YOU COULDN'T REPRODUCE AN ISSUE THAT I TOLD YOU APPEARS TO BE RANDOM FROM ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN? IT'S LIKE THEY JUST DON'T GIVE TWO [XXX] ABOUT PEOPLE'S LIVES? SO I'LL CALL CORPORATE TOMORROW AND SEE HOW MUCH THEY DON'T CARE EITHER. BY THE WAY, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME FOR ME AND I WAS AT 17,250 MILES. CAR MODEL IS THE RT AUTOMATIC. LET'S HOPE WE CAN GET THEM TO FIX THIS BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SECOND GEAR SHIFT WOULD POP OUT OF GEAR, CAUSING SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO STORAGE UNIT AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A FRACTURED TOE AND LEG INJURIES, AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. THE FRONT AND LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND AN INSPECTOR WAS SENT TO INSPECT THE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CLAIM WAS DENIED AFTER INSPECTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,400.

THE VEHICLE STALLED AFTER BRAKING AT AROUND 15 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED, BUT UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. AS MENTIONED BY MANY OTHERS, THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY RISK AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND AN ECM FLASH WAS CONDUCTED, BUT I AM AFRAID OF THIS ISSUE REOCCURING LIKE SO MANY OTHERS. *TT

APPROXIMATELY MARCH 2011 IN MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT ABOUT 5 MPH THE CAR ENGINE TOTALLY QUIT. CAR STARTED RIGHT UP AGAIN AND NO PROBLEMS UNTIL SEPTEMBER 5, 2011. ON SEPTEMBER 5, 2011 COASTING TO A STOP LIGHT WITH SLIGHT BRAKING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH CAR ENGINE TOTALLY QUIT AGAIN. STARTED RIGHT UP AGAIN AFTER THE ENGINE STALL. ON SEPTEMBER 7, 2011, TWO DAYS AFTER PRIOR ENGINE STALL CAR AGAIN STALLED COASTING TO A STOP LIGHT WITH SLIGHT BRAKING AT AGAIN ABOUT 5 MPH. CAR AGAIN STARTED UP. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN 30 DAYS THAT THE CHALLENGER R/T HAS SHUT OFF WHILE MAKING A TURN AT SPEEDS OF 25 MPH OR LESS. REFERENCE ODI ID # 10421234 / INCIDENT DATE OF 08/19/2011. WIFE WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN OFF OF A BUSY STREET (40 MPH SPEED LIMIT, INTO MY HOME NEIGHBORHOOD) WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY DIES, STEERING & BRAKES GO HARD, OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATES, AND SHE HAD TO COAST TO A STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, PRESS THE START BUTTON (EVEN THOUGH DASH MESSAGE SAID "KEY FOB NOT FOUND"), CAR RE-STARTS, AND SHE CONTINUED 1/2 MILE TO OUR HOME. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE LETTING MY WIFE OR KIDS DRIVE THIS CAR WHEN THE PROBABILITY OF IT DYING IS VERY POSSIBLE. I JUST DROVE THE CAR UP THE NARROW MOUNTAIN PASSES TO BIG BEAR, CA (8,000 FT ELEVATION) & BACK 3 DAYS AGO, AND THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF IT HAD DIED AND I HAD LOST CONTROL ON A WINDY MOUNTAIN ROAD. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR DIE BEFORE SOMEONE FORCES DODGE / CHRYSLER TO IDENTIFY & CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. CAR IS GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW MORNING, WHERE I EXPECT TO GET ALOT OF NOTHING, BUT ATLEAST MY COMPLAINTS WILL BE INTERRED INTO THE SERVICE SYSTEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. ON 8-3-2011 I WENT OUT TO GO TO LUNCH AND NOTICED MY REARVIEW MIRROR HAD FALLEN OFF. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT TOOK A PLUG OF WINDSHIELD WITH IT WHEN IT FELL. IT APPEARS THAT THE WINDSHIELD COULD BE DEFECTIVE. I'M AFRAID THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD MAY JUST SHATTER.I HAVE BEEN WAITING 2 WEEKS FOR AN EXPEDITED ANSWER FROM CHRYSLER. AT THIS TIME THEY HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK PICTURES AND SENT THEM TO CHRYSLER FOR A DETERMINATION. IT'S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE I'M GETTING THE RUN AROUND. *TR

MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION (LESS THAN 20 MPH) WHEN CAR STALLS, OIL LIGHT ILLUMINATES, AND POWER STEERING & BRAKES BECOME ALMOST UNUSABLE. HAD TO STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY, PUT CAR IN PARK, PUSH THE START BUTTON, AND CONTINUE ON TO MY DESTINATION. THIS IS THE 1ST TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. *TR

THIS IS 4TH OR 5TH TIME THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED, HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE COME UP WITH NOTHING. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AS WELL AS THOUSANDS ONLINE, YET THE DEALER STATES THEY ARE UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE. NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND I LOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKING. THE CAR BECOMES VERY HARD TO MANEUVER AND STOP. THE CAR WAS STOPPED IN AN INTERSECTION, AND THANKFULLY THE APPROACHING CARS WERE FAR ENOUGH AWAY TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND START IT UP AND DRIVE OFF WITH NO OTHER ISSUES. THIS INTERMITTENT STALLING IS BECOMING A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED, IF THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ALREADY.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DOWN AN EXPRESSWAY. SHE EXITED AND WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES AS SHE APPROACHED A STOP SIGN. AS THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 15 MPH, THE CAR ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF, WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER. WHEN THE CAR STALLED, IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER AND BRAKE, AS THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL. IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, SHE HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, AND THEN HIT THE START BUTTON. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS, AS THERE WERE OTHER MOTORISTS EXITING THE EXPRESSWAY BEHIND HER. THERE ARE MANY OTHER OPEN COMPLAINTS WITH THE NHTSA FOR THE 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 - EACH DESCRIBING AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM WITH RANDOM STALLING. ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE MANY VERY SIMILAR DESCRIPTIONS OF THIS PROBLEM ON DODGE CHALLENGER OWNER GROUP FORUMS. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND JUST AS OTHER CHALLENGER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO ACTED AS THOUGH THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH MANY DOCUMENTED CASES EXIST. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE, AND LIKE THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REFUSED TO HELP. I SPOKE WITH TWO DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIVES, AND BOTH OF THEM CLAIMED TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE CHALLENGER STALLING ISSUE, AND REFUSED TO TRANSFER ME TO ANOTHER DEPARTMENT THAT MIGHT BE WILLING TO INVESTIGATE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND APPEARS TO BE VERY COMMON WITH THIS PARTICULAR CAR. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED.

I BOUGHT A 2010 SRT8 DODGE CHALLENGER A FEW WEEKS AGO WITH JUST 50 MILES ON IT. I NOW HAVE APPROXIMATELY 800. ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER, THE CAR STALLED TWICE, BOTH TIMES WHILE COMING TO A STOP. THE SAME THING HAPPENED YESTERDAY AND TODAY, MAKING IT 4 TIMES IN LESS THAN A MONTH. SIMILAR TO OTHERS, MY DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF THE STALLING IN THEIR DIAGNOSTICS. 3 OUT OF THE 4 TIMES I WAS IN TRAFFIC, WITH THE OTHER TIME OCCURRING IN A PARKING LOT. THERE WAS NO WARNING WHEN IT HAPPENED. AFTER EACH STALL, I HAD TO PUT THE GEAR IN PARK AND RESTART. THE MOTOR STARTS WITH NO HESITATION AFTER A STALL. THERE ARE DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS. WHO IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED? CURRENTLY, I FEEL THE CARE IS TOO UNSAFE TO HAVE MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8, IT HAS 1324 MILES ON IT. TODAY AS I WAS TURNING IN A ROAD THE CAR ENGINE STALLS! I HAD TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT. AFTER LOOKING ON CAR FORUMS THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON WITH THESE CARS. MY QUESTION IS, WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM BY DODGE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, I TOLD HIM TO GO GOOGLE IT ON THE INTERNET AND HE WOULD FIND THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK AND RESTARTED. UPON RESTART, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 15,500. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

CAR HAS STALLED AND SHUT DOWN 3 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING IT IN 08/2010. ALL THREE CASES THE CAR HAD JUST COMPLETED A TURN ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY WHERE LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST IT, WITH NO POWER STEERING, TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ON ALL THREE CASES, THE ONLY INDICATION I HAD THAT THE CAR SHUT OFF WAS THAT THE OIL LIGHT FLASHED ON. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR EASILY THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, BUT THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE. IT FINALLY DID IT AFTER THE THIRD TIME I TRIED IT. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM A FEMALE THAT LOVES HER NEW CAR, BUT MY HUSBAND IS WORRIED ABOUT ME DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY IF IT KEEPS SHUTTING OFF. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND DODGE NEEDS TO GET ON THE BALL AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING WITH THE DEALERSHIP, BUT AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS FROM EVERYONE ELSE, I HAVE LITTLE FAITH THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. DODGE, PLEASE FIX MY CAR!

2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8....VEHICLE STALLS OUT WHEN SLOWING DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW THREE TIMES. ONCE IT HAPPENED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE OTHER 2 TIMES IT HAS OCCURRED ON THE ROAD WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. OIL LIGHT CAME ON IN ONE OF THE INSTANCES BUT I AM UNSURE IF IT CAME ON THE OTHER TWO. WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER THIS MAKES THE CAR DIFFICULT TO STEER. ON ALL THREE OCCASIONS, THE CAR DID START BACK UP WITH THE PUSH BUTTON START, HOWEVER IT DID CRANK OVER VERY SLOWLY. CAR IS GOING INTO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO EVALUATE THIS, HOWEVER IT APPEARS THAT WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAVE THIS HAPPEN, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HOPEFULLY THIS CAN BE REMEDIED BEFORE ANYONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 5 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WITH A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER TEN MINUTES BUT THE OIL WARNING LAMP WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 13,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 9 TO 12 MPH, HE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE FURTHER, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, THE VEHICLE JERKED INTO FOURTH GEAR. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,300. UPDATED 08/31/11 *BF UPDATED 2/9/12 *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TURNING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. WITHIN THIRTY SECONDS, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. A SIMILAR FAILURE OCCURRED ONCE PRIOR. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT BOTH FAILURES OCCURRED WHILE MAKING TURNS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

2010 CHALLENGER SRT8 AUTOMATIC HAS STALLED AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME. IT HAS 4,820 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE ENGINE HAS STALLED. PRIOR REPORT 10354193. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND SLOWED TO TURN LEFT INTO A DRIVEWAY WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED THE CAR WITHOUT A PROBLEM. *TR

NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, PULL UP TO A STOP SIGN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND CAR JUST DIES. LOSE ALL POWER, NO POWER STEERING AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY. THIS IS NOW THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT LOOKED AT AGAIN. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN WHEN CROSSING AN INTERSECTION INSTEAD OF AT A STOP SIGN. IVE READ HUNDREDS OF REPORTS LIKE MINE ON FORUMS AND YET DODGE IS UNAWARE OF THIS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION?? I WONT BE TAKING MY 1 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN THIS CAR... *TT

VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND COMPLETE THE TURN WITHOUT INCIDENT DUE TO THE ALERTNESS OF THE DRIVER BEHIND ME. I DID NOT NOTICE WHICH SYMBOLS, IF ANY, LIT UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. HAVING A VEHICLE SHUT DOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

I WAS MAKING A SLOW U-TURN AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF (STALLED). THIS ACTUALLY THE THIRD INCIDENT SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN DECEMBER. I WAS PULLING ON TO THE FREEWAY FROM A STOP (UNDER 10MPH) AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF (STALLED). ALSO, I WAS SLOWING TO A RED LIGHT (UNDER 10MPH) AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF (STALLED). I DON'T HAVE THE DATE AND MILEAGE OF THE FIRST TWO INCIDENTS, SO I'VE GIVEN THE DETAILS OF THE THIRD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED AND IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE, SHE HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE BUT HE WAS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THAT BOTH THE ACCELERATOR AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WERE ENGAGED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

FOUR PASSENGER DRIVING OVER RR CROSSING WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF! TRIED TO CRANK IT SEVERAL TIMES WOULDN'T START. THREE PASSENGERS GOT OUT OF THE CAR THE LAST COULDN'T REACH THE SEAT LEVER TO GET OUT SO HE WAS HIT BY A TRAIN THE CAR WAS TOTALED HE ONLY OWNED THE CAR A WEEK IT ONLY HAD 400 MILES ON IT THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. *TR

WHEN STARTING THE CAR ON A COLD START, THE TAIL PIPE EMISSION (GAS AND CARBON VAPORS) SURROUND THE VEHICLE AND ENTER THE CAR CABIN THROUGH THE AIR VENTS. (COMES UP THROUGH THE HOOD OF THE CAR) I BELIEVE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS LOCATED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT JUST UNDER THE VENTILATION SYSTEM.. THEY CHECKED TO SEE IF ALL PARTS HAD A TIGHT FIT AND THE SALES MANAGER BELIEVES THERE'S NOT A DEFECT.. *TR

I OWN A 2010 CHALLENGER R/T. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 30MPH, I SLOWED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND VEHICLE LIGHTS WENT OUT, LOSS OF ALL POWER, AND ENGINE TURNED OFF. I COASTED TO CURB AND WITHOUT TOUCHING THE KEY, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED RIGHT BACK UP. AGAIN THE NEXT DAY WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A BUSY STREET, VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE TURNING LEFT, EXCEPT I WAS CROSSING THE LANE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AGAIN, IT RESTARTED WITH NO HELP FROM ME. NO ACCIDENT CAUSED, BUT AN ONCOMING VEHICLE CAME TO ABOUT 3 FEET OF MY DRIVERS DOOR BEFORE STOPPING. (40MPH STREET) I READ THAT THIS IS OCCURRING A LOT WITH 08-10 CHALLENGERS AND WOULD LOVE IT FIXED BEFORE MY 17Y/O DAUGHTER TAKES IT OUT AND GETS T-BONED AND INJURED OR WORSE. *TR

AFTER EXITING HIGHWAY, ENGINE STALLED WHEN TRAVELING ABOUT 5 MPH. WAS ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE WITHOUT INCIDENT. WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY WARNING LIGHTS PRIOR TO INCIDENT. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE SAME HAPPENED, AFTER MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO DRIVEWAY, ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE TRAVELING AT 5 MPH. WAS ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE AND CONTINUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V200000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE). HE STATED THAT AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER, THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE PART NEEDED FOR REPAIRS WOULD BE UNAVAILABLE FOR SIX MONTHS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED HIM TO CONTINUE CALLING THE DEALER UNTIL THE PART BECAME AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100.

STEERING COLUMN LOUD SNAP POP. STEERING COLUMN REINFORCEMENT BEAM CRACKED, INCLUDED, BROKEN.

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS. I HAVE ABOUT 6500 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND AGAIN TODAY. I TOOK VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER WHEN IT HAPPENED TODAY. THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON IT. ALMOST TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE WHEN IT STALLS....EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE OR TURN STEERING WHEEL....AND I AM 6' 3" TALL AND OVER 200 LBS. COULDN'T IMAGINE IF THIS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE WHEN SHE IS DRIVING THE CAR. *TR

MY 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER HAS RANDOMLY SHUT OFF FOUR TIMES IN MY PAST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. TWICE IN BRAKING SITUATIONS COMING TO A REDLIGHT, AND TWICE IN PARKING LOTS AT LOW SPEEDS, THANK GOD! UNTIL THE VEHICLE HAS COME TO A STOP POWER STEERING AND BRAKES ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY SO EVASION OF OTHER CARS, PEDESTRIANS, PROPERTY BECOMES EXTREMELY LIMITED. I AM LUCKY THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON FASTER ROADS, HOWEVER I AM AWARE OF OTHER CONSUMERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN, AND ARE NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE SIMILAR CARS. *TR

I USED MY REMOTE START TO WARM-UP MY 2010 CHALLENGER RT. I LEFT FOR WORK AND TRAVELED AT 20 MPH IN MY SUBDIVISION. I ARRIVED AT INTERSECTION TO MAKE AT TURN ONTO A 45 MPH STREET AND TRAVELED ABOUT 1 MILE TO LIGHT STOPPED AND MADE A RIGHT TURN ONTO ANOTHER 45 MPH STREET (4 LANES). AS I INCREASED SPEED TO 45 LIMIT I FELT THE GAS PEDAL PULL AWAY FROM MY FOOT AND THE CAR BEGAN TO QUICKLY SPEED UP. I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN THE BRAKE THINKING THAT THE PEDAL WAS STUCK DUE TO COLD WEATHER 18 DEGREES. IT JUST KEPT INCREASING IN SPEED. I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL TO TAKE TORQUE OFF THE DRIVE TRAIN. I LET IT COAST INTO THE NEXT SIDE STREET AND PUT IT INTO PARK. THE ENGINE WAS IDLING AT 4000 RPM. I SHUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT IMMEDIATELY JUMPED BACK UP TO 4000 RPM. I HAD TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE WAY SO I PULLED IT INTO A CUL-DE-SAC RIDING THE BRAKE WITH BOTH FEET. AGAIN, I SHUT IT OFF, WAITED A LITTLE AND RESTARTED IT. AGAIN, IT JUMPED TO 4000 RPM. I CALLED MY WIFE AND TOLD HER WHAT HAD HAPPENED. SHE SUGGESTED THAT I BRING IT HOME AND TAKE OUR OTHER CAR. I DECIDED TO TRY SHUTTING IT DOWN AGAIN. AGAIN WHEN I STARTED IT JUMPED TO 4000 RPM. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT HOME AND RODE THE BRAKE BACK TO THE STOP IN ORDER TO MAKE THE LEFT TURN TO GO HOME. THE TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC GOING THAT DIRECTION WAS NON-STOP SO I ELECTED TO AVOID GOING INTO A CONGESTED SITUATION NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WOULD DO. I DECIDED TO GO RIGHT SINCE THERE WERE NO CARS GOING THAT DIRECTION TO WORRY ABOUT HITTING. SHORTLY AFTER I MADE THE TURN THE RPM'S DROPPED TO NORMAL. I PUNCHED THE ACCELERATOR TO CHECK IT AND MAKE SURE IT WOULD NOT REPEAT MY STARTLING EXPERIENCE. I THANK GOD THAT MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING IT AT THE TIME. SHE WOULD HAVE PANICKED AND WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. I DROVE THE CAR THE REST OF THE WAY TO WORK MAKING SURE THAT I KEPT A VERY SAFE DISTANCE BETWEEN ME AND THE CAR AHEAD. I SENT CHRYSLER AN EMAIL ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE. MY CAR IS NOW AT A DEALER BEING EVALUATED. *TR

BRAKES ARE SQUEALING AFTER DRIVING FOR 15 MINUTES, HAVE HAD REPAIRED ONCE ALREADY AND ARE STILL DOING THE SAME THING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 18,000.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER IN JANUARY 2010. THE CERAMIC BRAKES BEGAN SQUEAKING IN APRIL 2010. IT OCCURS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 5 MINUTES AND THE BRAKES HAVE "HEATED" UP. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO 3 DIFFERENT PLACES OVER 6 VISITS AND DURING EACH OIL CHANGE AND THE SAME RESULTS ARE: YOUR BRAKES ARE GOOD, NO REPLACEMENT NEEDED, WE REMOVED SOME DUST (IN 2 CASES, THE REMOVED SOME TYPE OF FLUID) AND YOUR BRAKES ARE FINE. NO ONE WOULD REPLACE THEM WHILE THEY WERE UNDER THE 12K MILE WARRANTY AND NOW, I CURRENTLY SIT AT 15K -- WITH THESE ANNOYING, HIGH PITCHED, SQUEALLY BRAKES. PLEASE LOOK INTO OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH CHALLENGERS (2010) AND BRAKE PROBLEMS. THANK YOU. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH THE HEADLINER STARTED TO FALL IN THE CONTACTS FACE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE HEADLINER REPLACED TWICE; HOWEVER, NEITHER OF THE REPAIRS REMEDIED THE ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE HEADLINER NEEDED TO BE REDESIGNED AND HAS AGREED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

I HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SE FULLY LOADED WITH LEATHER SEATS MY GIG RADIO AND SUNROOF. WHEN I LET MY SUNROOF OPEN WHILE DRIVEN AROUND 35 MILES PER HOUR THE HEADLINER BEGINS TO FALL. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH AND THE PROBLEM BEGAN IN APRIL AND I HAVE HAD THE HEADLINER REPLACED TWICE. I WAS TOLD BYE A SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE HEADLINER HAD TO BE REDESIGNED. *TR

2010 SRT8 CHALLENGER STALLS AFTER RUNNING HIGHWAY SPEEDS (70-80 MPH) ON SLOW DOWN AS TO GET OFF A EXIT RAMP, OR TO TURN INTO A REST STOP, GAS STATION. PROPER SPEED TO GEAR RATIO ASSUMED. CLUTCH FULLY SUPPRESSED OR WHILE MOVING. ALSO STALLS ON TAKE OFF (TRAFFIC LIGHT, STOP SIGN) IN ROLLING CONDITION, AGAIN PROPER SPEED TO GEAR RATIO ASSUMED. IDENTIFIERS: LOW OIL LIGHT, NO STEERING, ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES OF A STALLED VEHICLE. SOMETIMES WILL START IMMEDIATELY SOMETIMES NOT. DEALER STATES NO CODES NO ISSUES. *TR

ENGINE STALL OUT ON MY 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 6.1L HEMI. THE CAR HAS STALLED OUT UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS FOUR TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR APRIL 3, 2010. TWICE WHILE MAKING A SLOW TURN FROM A STOP, ONCE FROM WHILE AT SPEED 35MPH ON A STEADY RUN DOWN A CITY BLOCK, AND AGAIN WHILE COMING TO STOP AT A LIGHT. I TOOK THE CHALLENGER IN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN APRIL AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND RECENTLY TOOK THE CAR BACK IN LAST WEEKEND AND THEY SAID THE ABS SENSOR MODULE (PART #68048305AC MODULE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYS) HAD GONE BAD AND MAY BE CAUSING THE ISSUE. I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES THIS WEEK BUT I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT THIS ISSUE MAY BE RESOLVED YET. *TR

ENGINE STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. *TR

2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 AUTOMATIC. TRAVELING TO WORK ON FREEWAY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AROUND 15-20 MPH. MY CAR STALLED AND I HAD TO COAST OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. 20 MINUTES LATER I STARTED THE CAR AND CONTINUED TO WORK. I THEN HAD CAR TOWED TO MAK HAIK DODGE ON 1-45 NORTH IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AFTER KEEPING MY CAR FOR 24 HOURS. THE STALLING CONDITION HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE CAR ONLY HAD AROUND 450 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THE STALL OCCURRED, I NOW HAVE AROUND 1100 MILES ON THE CAR. *TR

I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP AND TURN RIGHT TO ENTER THE FREEWAY AS THE CAR ROLLED TO A STOP THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE DIED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS CAR:2010 DODGE R/T CHALLENGER. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER I RESTARTED THE ENGINE IN NEUTRAL THEN SHIFTED TO DRIVE. I HAD EXITED THE FREEWAY TURNED RIGHT WENT UP AN INCLINE AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND THE ENGINE STALLED IN TRAFFIC. *TR

HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR APPROX. 1.5 HOURS, APPROACHED A RED LIGHT AND TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME HAD STOPPED ABRUPTLY FORCING ME TO MAKE A FAST STOP. NOT A FULL FORCE STOP BUT A QUICK REACTION/SUDDEN STOP. THEN MY CAR STALLED OUT AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE CAR. IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. I PUT IT IN DRIVE BUT IT HESITATED TO MOVE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3-5 SECONDS, THEN TOOK OFF. THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 2000 MILES ON IT. CURRENTLY IT HAS ALMOST 3000 MILES. THIS HAD HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE THIS INCIDENT ALSO AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO THE STREET I LIVE ON. SAME THING, CAR RESTARTED RIGHT UP. THAT WAS WITH ABOUT 1000 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY CAN DETECT SOMETHING. HOWEVER, I'VE READ ON SOME FORUMS THAT IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO THESE CARS QUITE A BIT IN AUTOMATICS 5.7 AND 6.1 MOTORS. MY FEAR IS THAT ME OR A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY, AS WELL AS SOME UNSUSPECTING OTHER DRIVER WILL RUN INTO EITHER MY BACK END OR FROM THE SIDE IF STALLS AGAIN WHILE MAKING A TURN ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THANK YOU. *TR

THE CAR STALLS WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAVE HAD IT STALL IN TRAFFIC AND AT INTERSECTIONS AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT A FEW TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES IN THE 4500 MILES ON THE CAR. IT IS VERY SCARY. THE DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR FOR OVER TWO WEEKS WITH NO END IN SIGHT. THE LAST OCCURRENCE WAS ON THE 13TH OF AUGUST. THE CAR SOMETIMES WILL NOT MOVE AFTER IT IS RESTARTED AND MUST BE TURNED ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT WILL DRIVE. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 IN JUNE. THERE HAS BEEN 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHERE THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. I BRAKE TO TURN AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AND I SEE THE OIL LIGHT COME ON BRIEFLY. LUCKILY, I HAVEN'T BEEN REAR ENDED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AFTER KEEPING IT FOR A WEEK, THEY CAME BACK AND SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. IN ADDITION, THE HEADLINER FOR THE SUNROOF HANGS DOWN AND THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT IT IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS COMPLAINT....DOES IT TAKE A PERSON GETTING KILLED BEFORE DODGE RECALLS THESE CARS. *TR

2 INCIDENTS IN 2010 SRT CHALLENGER OF VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. 1ST INCIDENT WAS AFTER STOPPING AT STOPLIGHT; OIL LIGHT FLASHED BRIEFLY THEN ENGINE SHUT OFF. 2ND INCIDENT WAS DURING A RIGHT TURN INTO A SHOPPING CENTER; ENGINE SHUT OFF JUST AS PULLED OFF THE MAIN ROAD; DID NOT NOTICE ANY INDICATOR LIGHTS AS WAS CONCERNED ABOUT VEHICLES BEHIND ME. BOTH TIMES CAR WAS ABLE TO BE STARTED (KEYLESS PUSHBUTTON START) WITHIN ONE OR TWO PRESSES OF START BUTTON. I HAVE 1760 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. INCIDENTS SEPARATED BY ABOUT 2 MONTHS (CAR PURCHASED 2/2010). HAVE READ ON FORUMS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER CHALLENGERS. REPORT TO NHTSA WAS RECOMMENDED TO ANOTHER OWNER BY DEALER. *TR

2010 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHILE TURNING RIGHT CAR STALLS AND COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF REQUIRING THE CAR TO BE PUT INTO PARK AND RESTARTED. FORTUNATELY ON BOTH OCCASIONS MY WIFE WAS NOT REAR ENDED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE OWNING THE CAR. DEALERSHIP WAS "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE" THE ISSUE AND NO FIX IS KNOWN. SRT ENGINEERS HAVE STATED IN ONLINE FORUMS THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ARE WORKING ON A FIX. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL DODGE VEHICLE MODELS, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF OWNERS POSTING STORIES ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT-8. THE CONTACT STATED THAT OCCASIONALLY, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. SHE DROVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY AFTER IT WAS RESTARTED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE TIMES SINCE APRIL 2010. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THREE TIMES BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,646. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 165.

2010 CHALLENGER SRT8 - CAR SHUT DOWN AT RED LIGHT. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED ONCE, BUT FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE ON THE INTERNET, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHERS WHO OWN THIS MODEL AND YEAR CAR. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEM SUCH AS THIS AND THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING UNLESS THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON. MY HUSBAND THINKS THAT THIS IS A COMPUTER PROBLEM AND HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR NOT COMMUNICATING PROPERLY TO THE COMPUTER AND WHEN THE OIL PRESSURE DROPS, IT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO CUT OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM ALMOST AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CARE NOW BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS COULD HAPPEN AT HIGH SPEED. *TR

GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A TIRE HANDLING ISSUE. SIZE 245/45ZR/20. ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS WITH RAIN GROOVES, THE TIRES ARE UNSTABLE, FOLLOW THE RAIN GROOVES, YOU CAN NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT, THE CAR DRIFTS WITH THE ROAD SURFACE, THE TIRES WILL NOT TRACK CORRECTLY WHILE CORNERING. *TR

2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 STALLS WHEN DEPRESSING BRAKE COMING TO A STOP. DOES IT INTERMITTENTLY. FEAR IT MIGHT DO IT AT THE WRONG TIME CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 3,000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS STALLED AT LEAST 10 DIFFERENT TIMES. DODGE TOOK CAR IN AND HAD NO SOLUTION TO PROBLEM OTHER THAN REPLACING OR UPDATING LATEST SOFTWARE UPDATES. AFTER THAT WAS DONE CAR STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. CAR HAS TO BE PUT IN PARK THEN RESTARTED. SOMETIMES TWICE BEFORE VEHICLE WILL MOVE. *TR

NORMAL DRIVING, PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE ENGINE JUST STALLS WHILE STILL MOVING. POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO RESTART THE CAR BEFORE DRIVING OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, NO ISSUES AND NO WARNING LIGHTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ENTERING THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPEED UP TO APPROXIMATELY 90 MPH. HE APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. HE DROVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. WHEN HE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE RPMS INCREASED EXCESSIVELY. HE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, MANUALLY PULLED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL UP, AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS MECHANICAL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, RESET THE COMPUTER AND RESET THE SENSOR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY FAILURES AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,290.

MY HEADLINER TO MY NEW 2010 RT CHALLENGER IS HANGING DOWN IN THE BACK WINDOW. THE REASON IS IT IS NOT CORRECTLY ATTACHED. I WENT MY LOCAL DEALER SAN MARCOS DODGE AND MADE THEM AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY 'ALL" COME FROM DODGE THAT WAY. THEY PROCEEDED TO SHOW ME ANOTHER NEW 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER STR8 WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EITHER THAT'S JUST THE WAY THEY COME. I WENT TO A DODGE FORUM AND SINCE MY POSTING ON FEB THE 11TH I NOW HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURES WARRANTY UNDER DEFECTS IN MATERIAL WORKMANSHIP. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS IF THIS HEADLINER DROPS INTO THE REAR WINDOW AREA AND WE LOSE SIGHT OF TRAFFIC A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT COULD TAKE PLACE POSSIBLY FATAL BECAUSE I DO ALOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING IN AUSTIN TX TO SAN MARCOS TX TO GO TO WORK DAILY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS LARGE TRUCKS I MUST NAVIGATE DAILY AROUND. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS SINCE I SEEM TO HAVE LITTLE RECOURSE WITH THE DEALER OR THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION. *TR
