I'D JUST PULL UP TO A STORE, HOP OUT THEN COME BACK AND 20MINS LATER I'M STILL TRYING TO TURN THE CAR ON AND THE ONLY THING THAT HELP WAS IF I JIGGLED IT A LITTLE AND SLIGHTLY PUSH IT IN, BUT WHAT SCARED ME WAS THE FACT THAT I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY AND MY CAR JUST STOPPED FOR NO REASON ALMOST CAUSING A MULTICAR ACCIDENT. I DECIDED TO REPLACE THE KEY AND HAD A NEW ONE REPROGRAMMED WHICH WORKED FOR A WHILE. I AM A DELIVERY PERSON AND ABOUT 6MONTHS AFTER THE NEW KEY I STARTED HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, BUT THIS TIME I HAD TO QUIT WORKING AND HAVE MY CAR TOWED BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T START BUT THIS TIME THERE WAS A RED LIGHT SAYING "ANTI THEFT"!

Summary

MY CAR, DODGE CHARGER 08 HAS A RECALL SINCE JULY OF 2016 FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG THAT THE INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE WHICH CAN CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO BE RELEASED THROUGHOUT THE CAR DURING A CRASH AND CAUSE OTHER INJURY. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR DURING THIS AS I HAVE A CHILD AND DON'T WANT THEM HURT DURING THE POSSIBLE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT CAUSING THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. THE RECALL STILL HASN'T BEEN FIXED, 8 MONTHS LATER, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A GOVERNMENT RECALL FOR IT.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE A/C WENT OUT. I CALLED A DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE AND THEY SAID BRING IT IN IT COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS A FUSE. THEN I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND SAW WHICH FUSES AND CHANGED THEM BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS AND SINCE THE ISSUE STARTED WHEN THAT LIGHT CAME ON I WANTED TO TRY GETTING THAT FIXED FIRST AND MAYBE THAT WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE (SINCE THE A/C AND AIRBAGS ARE AROUND THE SAME AREA). I TAKE THE CAR IN. THEY FIX 1 AIR BAG (NO PARTS FOR PASSENGER SIDE) AND THE IGNITION SWITCH. STILL NO AIR/HEAT/DEFROST. I PAY $121 FOR A DIAGNOSIS OF ,START WITH REPLACING THE TIPM (NO GUARANTEE THAT WILL FIX THE ISSUE OR THAT IT'S A PERMANENT FIX) SINCE THE AC IS NOT GETTING POWER AND GROUND.

Summary

I PURCHASED A CAR FROM JOHNNY AUTO SALES OFF FLORIN RD. I WAS TOLD THE CAR HAD NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, CLEAN CAR FAX. THE ONLY MAJOR THING WAS THE ENGINE HAD BEEN REPLACED. THE CHECK ENGINE LT AND THE TIRE INDICATOR LT WERE ON AND JOHNNY SAID HE WOULD MAKE SURE TO FIX THE ISSUE W/LIGHTS. I KEPT GETTING FLAT TIRES. I TOLD JOHNNY MY TIRES ARE BALD AND KEEP GOING FLAT. HE TOLD ME TO GO TO HIS TIRE GUY AND HE WOULD PAY FOR USED TIRES TO BE PUT ON. I DID JUST THAT. THEY REPLACED MY TIRES AND JOHNNY SIGNED FOR THEM. I CONTINUED GETTING FLAR TIRE SO I WENT BACK TO THE TIRE SHOP AND HAD MY TIRES CHECKED. THEY SAID NO PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRES. SO THEY CHECKED MY RIMS. CRACKED. MY RIM ON THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE WAS CRACKED. I CALLED JOHNNY AND HE SAYS WELL HOW DOES HE KNOW I DIDN'T DRIVE THE CAR HARD. SO I FIGURED I WAS NOT GOING TO GET ANYWHERE WITH HIM I WENT AND BOUGHT MY OWN TIRES AND RIMS SO I KNOW THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEMS AND HAVE A WARRANTY. NOW I NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT AND TO GET THEVERYTHING TIRE INDICATOR LIGHT OFF. SO I TOOK THE CAR TO PEP BOYS, FIRESTONE AND LES SCHWAB. ALL 3 PLACES REFUSED TO GIVE ME AN ALIGNMENT. REASON BEING... BENT SUBFRAME. I GOT A PRINTOUT OF HOW MY TIRES SHOULD BE AND WHAT THEY WERE AND THE RESULT IS... NOT SAFE. CLEARLY MY CAR HAS HAD SOME TYPE OF DAMAGE DUE TO AN ACCIDENT TO CAUSE A BENT SUBFRAME. THEN THE GUYS POINT OUT ALL THE BONDO ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. ALL THE WAY TO THE GLUE IN THE TRUNK. LIKE SOMEONE CUT THE TRUNK AND GLUED IT BACK ON. STILL NO HELP FROM JOHNNY. THE INTERIOR CARPET DOESN'T EVEN BELONG TO AN 08 CHARGER. IT CAME FROM A NEWER MODEL CHARGER. HE PIECED THIS CAR TOGETHER TO SATISFY HIS GREED WHILE PUTTING PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF IN DANGER. I HAVE CHILDREN THAT RIDE WITH ME. MY QUESTION TO JOHNNY IS... WOULD YOU BE OK WITH THIS SITUATION IF IT WAS YOU? AND UR CHILDREN RIDE IN THIS CAR? EXACTLY MY POINT...

ON THE EVENING OF 09/17/2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 2200HRS, MY WIFE WAS LEAVING A LOCAL STORE PARKING LOT WHEN SHE HEARD A NOISE AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND MAKE A LOUD NOISE. SMOKE AND FLUID BEGAN COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. SHE IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND SHUT IT OFF. I RECEIVED A FRANTIC PHONE CALL AND RESPONDED TO THE LOCATION TO FIND THAT A LITTLE MORE THAN HALF OF THE ELECTRIC RADIATOR COOLING FAN BLADES HAD DESENTIGRATED INTO PIECES, CUTTING INTO THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE IS NOW INOPERABLE AND PARKED AWAITING TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY. THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS WARNING SIGNS OF THIS EVENT HAPPENING AND AM VERY GLAD MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED AS THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH DIFFERENT. LOOKING ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHERS FROM DODGE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MUCH MORE SERIOUS INCIDENT HAD MY WIFE BEEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS.

Summary

CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A RECALL REGARD THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH INCLUDES A LIST OF THEIR VEHICLES INCLUDING THE 2008 DODGE CHARGER, WHICH I DRIVE. THE RECALL STATES: CHRYSLER SAYS IGNITIONS KEYS ON CERTAIN VEHICLES MAY NOT FULLY RETURN TO THE "ON" POSITION AFTER THEY ARE TURNED TO START THE ENGINE. INSTEAD, THE KEY ENDS UP BETWEEN THE "ON" AND "START" POSITION. IN THAT CASE, THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS WON'T WORK. THE GREATER DANGER, WHICH CHRYSLER CALLS "LESS PROBABLE," IS THAT THE KEY MOVES TO THE "ACCESSORY" OR "OFF" POSITION. IF THAT HAPPENS, THE CAR'S ENGINE WILL TURN OFF, IT WILL LOSE POWER STEERING AND THE AIR BAGS WON'T DEPLOY. I AM EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHICH PROMPTED ME TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL. I REACHED OUT TO CHRYSLER AND QUESTIONED WHY I RECEIVED RECALL A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR THE AIRBAGS BUT NOT FOR THE IGNITION. I WAS ADVISED THAT MY VIN IS NOT ON THE LIST FOR THE IGNITION CONCERNS. THE CHRYSLER AGENT ADVISED ME THAT MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THE LIST FOR THE IGNITION PROBLEM. I ADVISED THE AGENT THAT I AM EXPERIENCING THE ISSUES OUTLINED IN THE RECALL. SHE ADVISED THAT IT WAS NOTHING CHRYSLER CAN DO UNTIL MY VIN NUMBER IS ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST. I ASKED IF THERE WAS AN ESCALATION PROCESS, SINCE DRIVING WITH A FAULTY IGNITION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. SHE ADVISED ME THAT THERE WAS NOT A PROCESS TO ESCALATE MY CONCERNS EVEN THOUGH I PROVIDED HER WITH MY VIN NUMBER AND SHE COULD CLEARLY SEE THAT IT WAS FOR A 2008 DODGE CHARGER SEDAN. PLEASE ASSIST IN THE RESOLUTION OF THE IGNITION SWITCH CONCERN.

Summary

NOTE AS AN ADVISORY THAT DODGE/CHRYSLER/FIAT MAY STILL HAVE IGNITION PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE FEDERAL/CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL FOR FOB/IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE OF NOT RETURNING TO RUN POSITION AFTER TRYING TO START VEHICLE. I JUST HAD MY 2008 DODGE CHARGER 80,635MI SERVICED FOR THE IGNITION RECALL SERVICE # P57/NHTSA 14V-567 OF WHICH TOOK 13 MONTHS BEFORE REPAIRS WERE MADE, AND AFTER THE NEW SWITCH AND NEW FOB'S WERE RETURNED TO ME (INSTALLED OF COURSE) FOB'S ARE OF CHRYSLER AND NOT DODGE (NO SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF NAMES ARE DIFFERENT) BUT AFTER ONLY HAVING MY CAR FOR JUST 2 DAYS OF BEING RETURNED TO ME, THE "NEW" IGNITION SWITCH NOW IS DEFECTIVE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE, AND JUST IN ONE DAY ITSELF,JUST STARTING THE CAR UP, THE "RETURN TO RUN POSITION" HAD FAILED (4) FOUR TIMES, AND JUST YESTERDAY 01-16-16 TWICE WHEN IGNITION IS RETURNED TO THE OFF POSITION, I WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE FOB FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH UNTIL RESTARTING THE CAR THEN SHUT IT DOWN AGAIN...CHRYSLER/DODGE & FIAT N.A.U.S.A. AS WELL WITH THE NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS AS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM BEFORE IT IS TO LATE...I HAD SPENT 5 YEARS WITH THE ORIGINAL IGNITION BEGIN BROKEN, AND DODGE AND DEALERS CARED LESS OF MY EMAILS ABOUT THE FAILURE. I HAVE ALSO ADVISED THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER/SERVICE DEPT OF THE PROBLEM THE DAY OF THE SITUATION AND WILL SEEK REPLACEMENT OR FURTHER ACTIONS THAT WILL BE TAKEN FOR REPAIRS..CHRYSLER/DODGE CORPORATION WILL ALSO BE NOTIFIED, AND I WILL TRY AND POST NEW DEVELOPMENTS AS THEY HAPPEN...

ON 4 SEPARATE OCCURANCES WHILE CAR IN MOTION THE CAR ENGINE STALLED AND REQUIRED RESTARTING. VARIOUS SPEEDS AT TIME OF STALLS 5 - 45 MPH. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING OVER A SET OF BUMPY RAILROAD TRACKS AT WHICH TIME THE CAR ENGINE STALLED AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED IN NEUTRAL. THE OTHER TIMES I WAS ON LEVEL ROADWAY WHEN CAR ENGINE STALLED AND REQUIRED RESTARTING. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED 11/17/15 AND THE CAR ENGINE STALLED 2 TIMES IN ONE DAY AT A SPEED OF 45 MPH. WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO THE RIGHT TO START THE VEHICLE IT TENDS TO HANG UP AND GET STUCK IN THAT POSITION. I FOUND THAT A RECALL WAS DONE ON CERTAIN 2008 DODGE CHARGERS REGARDING IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS SO I CALLED TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT IS NOT INCLUDED - THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND I TRAVEL A MAJOR INTERSTATE DAILY. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. I DID HAVE MY CAR CHECKED FOR INDICATOR CODES TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY PROBLEMS INDICATED AND NOTHING FOUND.

Summary

VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH IGNITION SWITCH, SOMETIMES AS SOON AS I START THE CAR THEN ENGINE WILL DIE. I THOUGHT INITIALLY THAT I WAS DOING SOMETHING WRONG AND I LET IT PASS BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS NOT HEAVILY USED, BUT STARTED SEEING ONLINE THAT PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. I TRIED SWITCHING KEYFOBS BUT THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. FORTUNATELY, I'VE NEVER HAD THE ENGINE DIE ON ME WHILE DRIVING, BUT SEEMS LIKE IT COULD HAPPEN. I NOW HAVE REMOVED EVERYTHING FROM MY KEY CHAIN FOR THIS CAR AND BASICALLY DRIVE THE CAR WITH ONLY A VERY LIGHT KEY RING ATTACHED TO THE KEY. I ALSO HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE CAME TO ME. THAT WAS LAST YEAR! I'VE REPEATEDLY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIM THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS FOR THIS RECALL. A FEW WEEKS AGO (TODAY IS 9/24/2015) I GOT A NEW NOTICE TO TAKE THE CAR IN, CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, GOT THE CAR IN THE SHOP; SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED ME IN THE AFTERNOON STATING THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT HAVE PARTS!! AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY'LL BE AVAILABLE. THIS RECALL (P57) AND (R25) ARE ISSUES THAT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF FUNCTION WITHOUT WARNING. TO ME IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT THE COMPANY IS NOT MAKING SURE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THAT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

Summary

WE GOT THE FIRST RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH MONTHS AND MONTHS AGO WHICH ADVISED THAT THE DEALER WOULD CALL US WHEN THEY GOT THE PART. WE STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH AND CALLED THE DEALER TO ASK WHEN THEY WOULD BE GETTING THE PART TO FIX THE CAR. THEY HAD NO IDEA. WE CONTINUED TO HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER. AT THE SAME TIME WE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH YOU. THEY SAID YES, THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND ORDERED THE PART ON AUGUST 13, 2015. WHILE WAITING FOR THE PART, WE GOT ANOTHER SAFETY RECALL FOR THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE WHICH SAID TO CONTACT THE DEALER RIGHT AWAY TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND HAVE THE DEALER HOLD THE PART OR ORDER THE PART BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT. AS I SAID, THEY ORDERED THE PART AUGUST 13, 2015, SIX WEEKS AGO. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PART. WITH THE IGNITION NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, THIS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND ALL WE GET WHEN WE CALL IS THAT IT IS NOT IN.

Summary

UPON PURCHASING THE VEHICLE ON 01/31/2015 THE FIRST INCIDENT WHERE THE VEHICLE JUST CUT OFF WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT HAPPENED ON 02/13/2015 AND THEN NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER THAT, I WAS ABLE TO CRANK THE CAR BACK UP AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PRIVATE DEALER AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, THAT THE VEHICLE ISNT RECEIVING POWER TO THE ENGINE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY ON 09/02/15. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AND THAT OF MY PATIENTS, MY JOB REQUIRES THAT I TRAVEL FROM CITY TO CITY RECEIVING PATIENT CARE, THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE AT THE MOMENT AND CANNOT AFFORD MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON ANOTHER VEHICLE. I ALSO REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP DEALERSHIP TO THE ONE HERE IN ENTERPRISE, AL AND TO THE ONE IN DOTHAN, AL AND THEY BOTH TOLD ME THAT I AM ON A WAITING LIST AND THEY WILL CALL ME AS SOON AS THE PARTS ARE IN. I CAN NO LONGER WAIT ITS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENT NOW.

MY CAR HAS BEEN STICKING IN THE START POSITION FOR MONTHS NOW. IF I DON'T WIGGLE THE KEY A BIT TO THE LEFT IT WOULD STAY IN THE START POSITION. LAST MONDAY MY KEY HAS BEEN GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHILE I TRY TO POSITION IT IN PARK. IM FORCED TO KEEP STARTING THE CAR AND MOVING IT TO TRY TO SUCCESSFULLY PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THIS HAPPENS MANY TIMES A DAY AND IM VERY CONCERNED. THE DEALER HAS ORDERED REPLACEMENT PARTS BUT IS UNSURE WHEN THEY WILL BE IN. HE SAID MAYBE A FEW WEEKS, BUT COULD MAKE NO PROMISES. I TOLD HIM OF MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE KEY STICKING IN THE IGNITION AND HE HAD NO ANSWER FOR ME. IM AFRAID ILL BURN OUT THE STARTER WHILE I WAIT FOR PARTS. IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO ME AND I FEEL THEY SHOULD OFFER ME A RENTAL UNTIL THE CAR IS SAFELY FIXED.

Summary

HAD TROUBLE STARTING MY CAR WHEN LEAVING WORK ONE NIGHT. THE CAR THEN WOULD NOT START THE NEXT DAY. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED TO HAVE A COMPLETELY MALFUNCTIONING IGNITION SWITCH AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND HE DID NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I WAS THEN DOING ONLINE RESEARCH TO TRY TO FIND ONE ON MY OWN WHEN I COME ACROSS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I CALLED A NUMBER ON THE SITE ABOUT THE RECALL AND SHE TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE IT DID NOT FALL ON THE RIGHT MANUFACTURING DATE. I SAW ON THAT WEBSITE THAT THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED ON 8-15-15. MINE COMPLETELY MALFUNCTIONING TWO WEEKS LATER TELLS ME THERE MAY BE MORE TO THIS THAN DODGE IS AWARE OF OR, JUST WILLING TO ADMIT. I UNDERSTAND THINGS BREAK, I UNDERSTAND AUTO REPAIRS ARE A PART OF LIFE. BUT I CANT STAND THE THOUGHT OF WHAT COULD OF HAPPENED IF IT HAD GONE OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN BELTWAY AROUND WASHINGTON D.C. DURING RUSH HOUR. I SAW THAT THEY SAID 350K VEHICLES WERE ON THE RECALL LIST. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME SORT OF RESPONSE TO THIS, SO I KNOW THAT THIS WAS AT LEAST RECEIVED.

Summary

IN NOVEMBER OF 2014 I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR P57 WHICH IS THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE STATING THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED AS SOON AS THEY BECAME AVAILABLE. I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE IN FEBRUARY OF 2015 AT WHICH TIME I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE CURRENTLY NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. SOMETIME DURING THE MIDDLE OF MARCH I WAS TURNING RIGHT ONTO A 5 LINE HIGHWAY WHEN I LOST ALL POWER TO MY VEHICLE. AS I TRIED TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND OUT OF TRAFFIC THE POWER RESTORED ON IT'S OWN. THIS SAME POWER LOST HAS OCCURRED ONCE MORE SINCE MARCH. I HAVE CONTINUED TO CHECK WITH MY LOCAL DEALER BUT NO PARTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE. FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS I HAVE HAD SIGNIFICANT TROUBLE GETTING THE VEHICLE TO START. WHEN I PLACE THE KEY IN THE START POSITION IT WILL DO NOTHING EXCEPT TURN ON THE WARNING LIGHTS. AFTER ATTEMPTING THIS SEVERAL TIMES IT WILL EVENTUALLY START BUT THEN WILL SOMETIMES JUST SHUT BACK OFF. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT BEING ON A BUSY INTERSTATE AND LOSING POWER WHICH TAKES ALL OF THE VEHICLE CONTROL. ON AUGUST 26, 2015, I ONCE AGAIN CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS ONCE AGAIN TOLD ME THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. I WAS GIVEN THE NUMBER OF1-800-992-1997 TO CONTACT. AFTER SPENDING 51 MINUTES ON THE PHONE WITH A GENTLEMAN NAMED ALEX I WAS BASICALLY TOLD THAT UNLESS THE CAR WAS BROKEN DOWN OR I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, BUT IF I DID BECOME INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION I COULD CONTACT THEM BACK AND THEY WOULD TRY AND ASSIST ME BETTER. I SUPPOSE THAT IF I GET KILLED IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THE ISSUE THAT ISN'T BEING FIXED, THEN THAT IS ONE LESS CAR THEY HAVE TO REPAIR.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED, ANOTHER DODGE CHARGER OF THE SAME YEAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. PICTURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN OF THE INCIDENT SHOWING THE FULL EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE.

Summary

I HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED BY THE DEALER THAT MY CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY LETTER AS THEY SAID. I FOUND OUT JUST BY CHANCE ON GOOGLE SINCE MY CAR WAS ACTING UP WAY TOO MUCH. MY CAR IS TURNING OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS! I HAVE TWO KIDS AND I WAS DRIVING AT 40 MPH. I HAD TO USE THE E-BRAKE TO STOP BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING DIDN'T WORK AND MY POWER BRAKES DIDN'T WORK. AT TIMES MY CAR WILL TURN ON EVERY LIGHT ON THE SPEEDOMETER BUT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IS WRONG. I ASKED THE MANUFACTURER IF THEY COULD ISSUE ME A RENTAL AND THEY SAID NO. MY WIFE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, MARCH, 2015, (WE HAVE DOCUMENTS) AND GOOD THING IT WASN'T A SEVERE ACCIDENT SINCE NOW WE KNOW THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. SOMEONE HIT MY WIFE, IT WASN'T BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AT THAT TIME. THIS CAR IS A CASKET FOR MY WHOLE FAMILY AND I SUPPOSE THEY ARE WAITING FOR A LAWSUIT FIRST BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING. NOT ONLY IS THIS CAR RECALLED, THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS YET TO FIX IT! SOMETIMES MY CAR WON'T EVEN TURN ON AND WE GET VERY HOT IN THE CAR, I KEEP TRYING BECAUSE STARTS UP AFTER A WHILE AND MY KIDS AND I ARE STUCK IN THE HEAT, MIND THAT MY KIDS ARE 10 MONTHS AND 2 YEARS OLD.

I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP IN CORINTH MISSISSIPPI AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS GOING TO COST 1100 TO FIX IT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND THE CAR COMPANY SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THIS. WELL IT IS GETTING BAD NOW SOMTIMES IT WONT START FOR 30 MIN AND THE STEERING STILL DOES THE SAME THING. I AM GETTING AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

IT STARTED WITH THE KEY GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION, I WOULD HAVE TO SIT IN THE CAR AND WAIT UNTIL I HEAR A CLICKING NOISE. I THINK THAT'S WHEN THE KEY IS REALEASED AND I CAN PULL THE KEY OUT. AT FIRST IT TOOK AS LONG AS 5 TO 10 MINUTES. NOW IT CAN TAKE UP TO THREE HOURS, I WOULD LEAVE THE KEY IN THE CAR, COME BACK AND CHECK ON THE KEY TO SEE IF I CAN PULL THE KEY OUT AND MAKE SURE THE CAR IS OFF. THE LAST TIME WHICH WAS 2 WEEKS AGO MY BATTERY WAS DRAINED AND I HAD TO GET SOMEONE TO GIVE ME A JUMP. THIS MORNING I GO TO WORK PARKED THE PROCEED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PULL THE KEY OUT AND THE KEY WAS STUCK AS USUAL. I CAME BACK OUT 30 MINUTES LATER TO SEE IF THE KEY WAS RELEASED AND IT WAS SO I PULLED THE KEY OUT THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. I WENT TO GO TO LUNCH AND PROCEEDED TO PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR DOES NOT TURN ON. THE BATTERY IS WORKING BECAUSE I HAVE LIGHTS AND THE LOCK ON THE DOORS ARE WORKING. THIS IS SUCH AND INCONVIENCE TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

Summary

ON 7/17/2015 MY CAR DID NOT START WHILE MAKING A STOP ON MY 3 HOUR DRIVE TO MY VACATION IN CARMEL CA. AFTER MANY TRIES, MY CAR STARTED. FROM THERE THE CARE WENT DOWNHILL AND STARTED ONLY RARELY. MY FATHER WHO HAS A MECHANIC BACKGROUND DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS THE WIN IGNITION SWITCH WHICH WAS RECALLED IN SEPTEMBER 2014. OVER THE 4 DAY VACATION I LEFT MY CAR IDLE AND DIDN'T DRIVE IT. ON THE LAST DAY OF THE TRIP I GOT MY CAR TO START. WHEN TURNING THE KEY/FOB NOTHING HAPPENS. NO CRANKING, NO ELECTRICITY, IT IS AS IF I DIDN'T EVEN PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AT ALL. SOMETIMES AFTER A HUNDRED TRIES THE CAR WON'T DO ANYTHING AND THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR WILL TURN ON. I DROVE THE CAR DIRECTLY TO THE REDWOOD CITY CA DODGE DEALERSHIP AUTO REPAIR (#605-529-1927). THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE WIN IGNITION SWITCH AS WELL AND ATTEMPTED TO ORDER THE PART FROM "MOPAR PARTS." MOPAR PARTS STATED THAT THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH, PART NUMBER CBTTP57CAA IS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL 8/28/2015. IN THE INTERIM, THEY WILL NOT RELEASE THE OLD IGNITION SWITCH AS A TEMPORARY FIX. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE AS IT RARELY STARTS. IT HAS BEEN SITTING IDLE AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. 24 DAYS HAVE PASSED IN WHICH I HAVE NOT HAD A CAR. I HAVE HAD TO GET RIDES TO WORK. I HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR 4 DAYS WHICH WAS A COST TO ME OF $200. THE PART WILL NOT BE ORDERABLE UNTIL 8/28 (RIDICULOUS SINCE THE RECALL WAS 9/2014) WHICH LIKELY MEANS 3 MORE WEEKS OF NO CAR. I HAVE BEEN OFFERED NO RENTAL CAR FREE OF CHARGE IN THE INTERIM. I DO NOT HAVE A BACK UP CAR AND WILL HAVE TO INCUR ADDITIONAL RENTAL CAR EXPENSES. I ATTEMPTED TO CALL THE VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE BEEN PLACED ON HOLD FOR A LONG DURATION. I THINK AT A MINIMUM THE IGNITION SWITCH SHOULD BE RELEASED TO ME AND FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. IF THIS CANNOT BE DONE, I THINK A RENTAL CAR SHOULD BE ISSUED TO ME FOR THE REMAINING DURATION OF THE WAIT PERIOD.

Summary

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS MY VEHICLE HAS FAILED TO START INTIALLY, I RECIEVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH LATE LAST YEAR 2014. I WAS TOLD AFTER MANY PHONE CALLS TO DEALERSHIPS THERE WOULD BE AN UPDATE AND THE PARTS WERE NOT IN TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS ISSUE SOMETIMES FOR 20 MINUTES AT A TIME. THIS PAST WEDNESDAY AS I DROVE HOME FROM WORK ON A VERY HIGH SPEED EXPRESSWAY, MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. IT RESTARTED ON IT'S OWN ONCE AND THEN ALL SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN, LEAVING ME COASTING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ROLL TO A STOP SAFELY. I CALLED MY ROADSIDE SERVICE AND WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS NOT THE "RECALL" ISSUE THAT CAUSED THIS BUT A SHORT IN A WIRE THAT CAUSED THE ALTERNATOR TO FAIL COMPLETELY . I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE CHARGED FOR THE REPAIR, AND SUBSEQUENTLY MY WARRANTY WOULD COVER THE REPAIR EXCEPT MY 200.00 DEDUCTIBLE. BEING THAT THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION I AUTHORIZED IT. THE REPAIR WAS DONE AND MY VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME ON FRIDAY JUL 17, 2015. UPON RETURN THE SERVICE TECH NOTICED THAT MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON, AND ADVISED ME TO GO GET MY BATTERY CHECKED AS IT HAD BEEN DRAINED. I DID THIS AND FOUND THE BATTERY TO BE IN "GOOD" CONDITION. SUNDAY JUL 19, 2015 ON A QUICK TRIP TO THE STORE, I WAS GREETED AGAIN WITH A "FAILURE TO START" ISSUE. THIS LEFT MYSELF AND MY CHILD IN A STRANDED STATE UNTIL A FRIEND COULD ARRIVED TO GIVE ME A JUMP. AFTER PAYING TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED AND PROMISED THE RECALL ISSUE WOULD NOT CAUSE ME TO BE STRANDED, I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND FEARFUL THAT MY VEHICLE IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO GET TO AND FROM WORK. I NEED A RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM ASAP.

Summary

I WENT TO VISIT MY SISTER AT HOSPITAL AND USED VALET PARKING FOR MY CAR. WHEN VALET DRIVER WENT TO RETRIVE MY CAR; IT WOULD NOT START. HOSPITAL SECURITY JUMP STARTED CAR AND IT STARTED UP. HOWEVER, WHEN I DROVE CAR HOME, TURNED CAR OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART CAR; IT WOULD NOT START. LATER IN WEEK, I CALLED TO SEE IF RECALL PART WAS IN BECAUSE I WAS TOLD IN MAY THAT IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN JUNE 2015. WELL, WHEN I CALLED IN JUNE, I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE READY IN AUGUST 2015. CHRYSLER/DODGE IS GIVING CONSUMERS A LINE THAT IS NOT TRUE. I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH P57 RECALL SINCE LAST YEAR (2014). WHEN I STARTED CAR; I NOTICED ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WOULD NOT BE ON. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN CAR OFF AND RESTART CAR TO ENSURE ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WAS ON. THIS IS MY MAIN TRANSPORTATION AND NOW I HAVE TO USE MY SON'S HONDA TO GET TO ESSENTIAL PLACES. MY CAR IS NOT STARTING; IT HAS NO POWER. MY CAR HAS ABOUT 74,300 MILES. JUST LAST WEEK, I RECEIVED YET ANOTHER LETTER STATING A RECALL ON THE 2008 DODGE CHARGER DRIVER'S AIRBAG. I CALLED RECALL CENTER. THIS DODGE CHARGER OWNER, IS VERY TIRED OF WAITING FOR RECALL PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE. WE AS CHRYSLER/DODGE CONSUMERS, NEED SOMEONE TO SPEAK ON OUR BEHALFS ABOUT OUR ISSUES/CONCERNS/RIGHTS. CHRYSLER/DODGE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE,PROVIDE CONSUMERS WITH TRUTHFUL INFORMATION AND TIMELY REPAIRS. THANKS FOR ALLOWING ME TO VOICE MY OPINION.

Summary

I HAVE ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE, RESULTING IN THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF - NO ENGINE POWER, NO BRAKES, NO POWER STEERING. THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 WEEKS. MY CAR IS ON THE RECALL LIST WITH DODGE SINCE LAST NOVEMBER, BUT THEY HAVE YET TO GET THE PARTS IN TO FIX IT. I AM VERY UPSET THAT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET PARTS IN TO FIX WHAT COULD BE A CATASTROPHIC AND DEADLY PROBLEM IN THE LAST 7 MONTHS. I'M ALSO BEING TOLD MY CAR HAS THE AIRBAG RECALL TO GO ALONG WITH IT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PUT SOME PRESSURE ON DODGE TO EITHER GET MY CAR FIXED OR GET ME A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE IN THE MEANTIME? MY LIFE, AND POTENTIALLY MY FAMILY'S LIFE COULD DEPEND ON IT.

Summary

IGNITION ISSUE, WOULDN'T START. DODGE REPLACED THE MODULE, IGNITION AND ADDITIONAL FOB'S. I PAID $806.21 TO PAY FOR REPAIR. IN DECEMBER 2014 I RECEIVED A RECALL P57/NHTSA 14V-567 STATING RECALL OF A FOBIK. IT SAYS I CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL PARTS COME IN BUT IF I ALREADY HAD IT REPAIRED I THINK I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED.

Summary

THERE IS AN IGNITION RECALL ON MY VEHICLE BUT THERE ISN'T ANY PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. IT DOESN'T REGISTER THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WON'T START. I'VE REPLACED BATTERIES IN THE KEY AS WELL AS REPLACED THE KEY LAST YEAR. NORMALLY AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WILL REGISTER THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND START. LATELY IT HAS BEEN TAKING LONGER AND LONGER. (USE TO BE 5 MINUTES, THEN 10, LAST WEEK 20 MINUTES, TODAY 45 MINUTES.) THIS CAR IS GOING TO LEAVE ME STRANDED SOMEWHERE AGAIN. I ALREADY GOT STUCK IN ALABAMA DUE TO VISITING HERE WHEN THE NOTORIOUS 2.7 JUMPED TIMING DUE TO THEIR FAULTY DESIGN AND I HAD TO GET THE ENGINE COMPLETELY REBUILT. I LOST MY JOB IN MICHIGAN, RUINED MY CREDIT BECAUSE I GOT BEHIND IN PAYMENTS DUE TO PAYING FOR THE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. THIS CAR IS A LEMON. WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE AND DODGE CAN'T/ WON'T FIX THEIR MISTAKES. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I ALSO HAD A CAR ACCIDENT IN 2013 WHERE I WAS STRUCK BY A DRUNK DRIVER AND THE AIR BAG NEVER WENT OFF. NOW I AM HEARING THERE IS AN AIRBAG RECALL AS WELL WITH NO REPLACEMENT PARTS.

Summary

I STARTED HAVING ISSUES STARTING MY CAR A FEW YEARS AGO (APPROXIMATELY 2), THE KEY WOULD TURN BUT IT WOULDN'T START UNLESS I MOVED THE KEY EITHER UP, DOWN, OR TO THE SIDES. DODGE FINALLY REPLACED THE PART ( I CAN'T THINK OF THE NAME BUT IT WAS ON BACK ORDER). I STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM LESS THAN 6 MONTHS LATER AND THE PART WAS REPLACED AGAIN. EARLIER THIS YEAR, APPROXIMATELY LATE JANUARY, I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH AND CALLED DODGE. THEY SAID THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND THEY WEREN'T SURE WHEN THEY WOULD RECEIVE THE PART. SINCE THEN, I HAVE LOST THE LIGHTING ON MY DASH FOR THE HEADLIGHTS AND AIR-CONDITIONING/HEATING DIALS. THIS OCCURRED WHEN I STARTED MY CAR AND IT SUDDENLY TURNED OFF. I CALLED IN REGARDS TO FINALLY HAVING THE LIGHTING FIXED TODAY AND THAT PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM, IS THE IGNITION SWITCH, I HAVE TROUBLE STARTING THE CAR, SOME DAYS WORSE THAN OTHERS. I ALSO HAVE TO CHECK THE KEY BY TAPPING IT WHEN IT'S STARTED TO MAKE SURE IT'S IN THE "RUN" POSITION. A HANDFUL OF TIMES I'VE TAPPED IT AND THE KEY HAS TURNED BACK TO THE LEFT, KILLING THE CAR. THANKFULLY I'VE BEEN PARKED EVERY TIME. I'VE CALLED DODGE ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THEY STILL HAVE YET TO RECEIVE THE PART AND HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD A DEFINITE DATE AS TO WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THE PART. THIS ISSUE IS NOT ONLY FRUSTRATING IT'S DANGEROUS FOR ME AND ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. I'M TIRED OF CALLING DODGE ONLY TO HEAR EVERY PART I NEED IS ON BACKORDER. I TRULY DON'T BELIEVE THE CAR I'M DRIVING IS SAFE ANYMORE REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE RECALL LETTER STATES. I THINK DODGE IS AN AWFUL COMPANY WHO HAS HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND LEAVES THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS WITH THEIR HANDS TIED. I TRULY BELIEVE THEY ARE ONLY DAYS AWAY FROM A LAWSUIT. *TR

WHEN WE WENT TO CRANK THE CAR, WHICH CRANKED JUST FINE 2 HOURS EARLIER, IT WOULD NOT START. THE IGNITION WOULD TURN BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. ALSO ALL LIGHTS AND ELECTRONICS WOULD NOT CUT ON. AFTER DOING WEB RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE IGNITION ( WIN MODULE). I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DODGE BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START OR MOVE. THEY REPLACED THE WIN MODULE AND IT RUNS FINE. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD GET REIMBURSED THROUGH CHRYSLER BECAUSE IT IS A RECALL PART. I PAID 450.00 FOR THE REPAIR. NOW CHRYSLER CORP. IS TELLING ME I WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT RELEASED THE PART. AND BETTER YET WHEN I GET A 2ND NOTICE OF THE RECALL, I STILL HAVE TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO FIX THE CAR BECAUSE IT IS MY SON'S ONLY WAY OF GOING AND HE WORKS FULL TIME. IT SAYS ON THE RECALL WEBSITE THEY WILL REIMBURSE YOU SO WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET MY MONEY BACK? SHOULD I GET A LAWYER? PLEASE HELP! *TR

Summary

1. THERE IS A LIGHTBOLT LIGHT THAT LIGHTS UP AND FLASHES ON MY DASHBOARD THE INSTANT WHEN I TURN ON MY VEHICLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE DAY. I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE ENGINE TO HEAT UP A LITTLE BEFORE I TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT AGAIN. 2. AS I DRIVE AND GO ON THE HIGHWAY OR AT ANYTIME THAT MY RPM REACHES 3, THE LIGHTBOLT LIGHT FLASHES AGAIN AND I LOOSE POWER IN THE ENGINE. THE CAR SLOWS DOWN ON ITS OWN DOWN TO AT LEAST 45 MPH, IF I GO OVER A BUMP DURING THIS CYCLE, THE VTC LIGHT ON DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP AND THE CAR FEELS UNSTABLE AS I PRESS ON THE BRAKES. I PULL OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND RESTART THE CAR AND THE LIGHT SHUTS OFF. EVENTUALLY, IF THE LIGHTBOLT CONTINUES TO FLASH AND I AM STILL DRIVING THE VEHICLE STARTS TO CHOKE AND EVENTUALLY SHUTS OFF. *TR

Summary

VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT SIMILAR TO RECENT GM IGNITION RECALL. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ENGINE SHUT-OFF AT VARYING SPEEDS INCLUDING HIGHWAY 65MPH PLUS. COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN DEACTIVATES ALL ONBOARD SYSTEMS, INCLUDING POWER-STEERING, BREAKING, AND AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. VEHICLE SHUT DOWN OCCURS RANDOMLY. RE-OCCURRENCE HAS BEEN AS FREQUENTLY AS HOURS BETWEEN SIMILAR OCCURRENCE TO AS LONG AS 5,000 MILES BETWEEN OCCURRENCES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIRS TO DEALER WITHOUT DEALER ABLE TO RECREATE DEFECT. VARIOUS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PARTS WERE REPLACED WITHOUT SUCCESSFULLY CURING THE DEFECT. TWO SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS RECOMMENDED WIRELESS IGNITION (WIN) MODULE REPLACEMENT BUT CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO SEND THE PART. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE STATES THAT WIN MODULE IS ONLY REPLACED WHEN VEHICLE FAILS TO START AT ALL TIMES. VEHICLE OWNER REQUESTED REPLACEMENT PART AS RECOMMENDED BY CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT RELEASE PART TO VIN ASSOCIATED VEHICLE. THEREFORE, VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 78,000. IDENTICAL OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA UNDER ID NUMBERS: 10294768, 10369140, 10370988, 10386410, 10390065, 10396098, 10508333, 10520262, AND 10525632.

Summary

THIS PROBLEM BEGAN SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED (IN 2010) THIS 60,000 MILE ONE-OWNER CAR A 2008 DODGE CHARGER 5.7L RWD POLICE PACKAGE. THE KEY FAILS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION KEY SWITCH. THE KEY SWITCH CANNOT BE TURNED TO THE "OFF" POSITION TO BE REMOVED AND STAYS STUCK IN THE "ACCESSORY" POSITION. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE KEY MUST BE LEFT IN THE IGNITION SWITCH OPENING THE POSSIBILITY TO VEHICLE THEFT OR ANY CHILD OR OTHER PASSERBY MAKING ENTRY INTO THE VEHICLE AND STARTING & DRIVING AWAY. LEAVING THE KEY "ON" IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION SUBSEQUENTLY DRAINS THE BATTERY, AFTER ONLY A MATTER OF HOURS THE BATTERY IS DEAD AND LEAVES THE OWNER REPEATEDLY STRANDED. LEAVING THE ACCESSORY CIRCUITS ENERGIZED FOR LONG PERIODS ALSO INCREASES THE CHANCES OF A VEHICLE FIRE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALER IN LUMBERTON NJ, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A DEFECTIVE WIN MODULE. I PAID FOR THE REMOVAL & INSTALLATION OF A NEW WIN MODULE AND THE CAR EXHIBITS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS BEFORE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT VERIFIED THAT IT'S STILL OCCURRING AND HAD TO ARGUE WITH THEM FOR A REFUND ONLY TO BE GIVEN DEALER CREDIT. THE DEALER THEN SHOWED ME A DODGE ENGINEER'S SERVICE BULLETIN DESCRIBING THIS ISSUE PERFECTLY. OFTEN THESE SYMPTOMS ARE SYMPTOMATIC OF A WIN MODULE BUT IF THE WIN IS NOT AT FAULT, DODGE STATES THAT THE "ESM" MODULE (ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE) IS AT FAULT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE ESM IS LOCATED ON THE STEERING COLUMN IN A 2008 DODGE CHARGER 5.7L RWD POLICE PACKAGE CAR AND IS CONNECTED TO THE COLUMN SHIFT GEAR SELECTOR. THE DODGE DEALER STATES THE ESM MODULE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT AND THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN MUST BE REPLACED DUE TO THE PART NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE SEPARATELY. EVERY OTHER MODULE FOR THE CHARGER IS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE EXCEPT THE ESM AND DODGE SERVICE WANTS $2400 TO NEEDLESSLY REPLACE THE ENTIRE COLUMN. *JB

AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE AT A LOCAL GAS STATION AND UPON COMING TO A STOP LIGHT THE CAR STALLED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON NOR DID THE CAR GIVE ANY WARNING. THE CAR RESTARTED AFTER SOME CRANKING AND DROVE OKAY FOR A WHILE. LATER THAT DAY THE CAR STALLED AGAIN WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT. AGAIN, NO WARNING WAS HAD AND THE CAR JUST STALLED. THE ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED WITHIN "LXFOURMS" WEBSITE BY MANY MANY MEMBER WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THE ISSUE HAS NEVER GONE AWAY AND THE ONLY AID IS TO NEVER FILL PAST 3/4 OF A TANK WHEN RE-FUELING WHICH IS THE ONLY THING THAT HAS KEPT MY CAR FROM STALLING. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO STEM FROM A BAD ROLLOVER/CHECK VALVE THAT IS LOCATED WITHIN THE FUEL TANK AND IS NOT SERVICEABLE PER CHRYSLER/DODGE. THE ONLY "FIX" IS A NEW GAS TANK WHICH IS AS I UNDERSTAND THE SAME DESIGN SO IS PRONE TO FAIL AGAIN. *TR

Summary

THERE IS A RUBBER BOOT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TRUNK LID THAT CONTAINS WIRES FOR THE TRUNK RELEASE. AFTER EXAMING A FEW ONLINE FORUMS ABOUT WHY THE TRUNK LID WASN'T RELEASING AFTER THE BUTTON WAS PUSHED ON THE DASHBOARD, THE FORUMS SAID TO LOOK UNDER THE RUBBER BOOT FOR STRETCHED AND BROKEN WIRES. SURE ENOUGH I PULLED BACK THE RUBBER BOOT AND FOUND THE BROKEN WIRES. IT PROBABLY HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE WAY THE WIRES ARE BEING STRETCHED WHEN THE TRUNK IS OPENING AND CLOSING, I FEEL THIS CAN BE AN ELECTRICAL AND A FIRE HAZARD ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THE TRUNK RELEASE ISN'T FUSED AT ALL IN THE FUSE PANEL. *TR

THE CAR STARTED TO SHOW PROBLEMS WEEKS BEFORE BREAKING DOWN. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WOULD START AS SOON AS I TURN THE KEY ON AND OTHER TIMES I HAD TO WAIT FOUR TO SIX SECOND BEFORE THE ENGINE WOULD START. ONE MORNING I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR ON BUT NOT EVEN A CLICK. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER BY RECHARGING THE BATTERY TO TURN IT ON. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED MY CAR WITH WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE FAILURE AND CONSEQUENTLY THEY HAD TO PROGRAM A NEW KEY. I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAS ASSURED EVERY PART ON THE CAR WAS COVERED EXCEPT FOR THE USUAL; TIRES, BRAKE PADS ETC. I ENDED UP PAYING OUT OF MY POCKET AND THE REPAIR WAS NOT CHEAP. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I LEARNED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE NEWER MODELS FOR THE SAME REASON. ADDITIONALLY, SOMETIMES MY STEREO TURNS OF, MY WINDOWS DO NOT ROLL DOWN AND TURNING SIGNALS GO OFF. THIS CAR HAS TOO MANY PROBLEMS. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 38,458 MILES. *TR

AFTER RETURNING FROM THE GROCERY STORE, THE TRUNK RELEASE FROM THE KEY, NOR THE INSIDE DASH RELEASE WOULD OPEN THE TRUNK. WE HAVE BEEN USING THE MECHANICAL KEY. DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT, I NOTICED THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WASN'T WORKING. AFTER TESTING ALL THE FUSES, AND RESEARCHING ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM WAS THE WIRING HARNESS THAT FEEDS THE BREAK LIGHT AND HAD BROKEN. WHERE THE WIRE FEEDS FROM UNDER THE BACK WINDOW DECK INTO A RUBBER BOOT, THEN IN TO THE TRUNK LID. THREE OF 6 WIRES ARE BROKEN IN HALF AT THE SAME LOCATION. THIS IS ALL OVER FORUMS ONLINE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT THE OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE TRUNK CAUSES THESE WIRES TO BREAK SINCE THE RADIUS IS VERY TIGHT WHEN CLOSING THE TRUNK LID. *TR

ON CHRISTMAS EVE, DECEMBER 24TH 2012 AT APPROXIMATELY 1:45 IN THE AFTERNOON I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 DODGE CHARGER ON A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD BANGING NOISE FROM MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AFTER I HEARD THE LOUD NOISE, MY 2008 DODGE CHARGER IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY INTERSECTION NEARLY CAUSING A CHAIN REACTION MULTICAR ACCIDENT. A LOCAL POLICE OFFER CAME TO THE SCENE AND HELPED DIRECT TRAFFIC UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PHYSICALLY PUSH MY CAR OUT OF HEAVY TRAFFIC. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO LOOK UNDER THE HOOD I NOTICED A LOT OF COOLANT POURING TO THE GROUND. I ALSO NOTICE THAT THERE WAS NO COOLANT IN THE COOLANT DEPARTMENT. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY WERE CLOSED DUE TO THE HOLIDAYS. LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO BRING MY 2008 DODGE CHARGER TO TIRE KINGDOM. THE MANAGER OF TIRE KINGDOM IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AND STATED THAT MY COOLING FAN BROKE OFF CAUSING THE BROKEN PIECES OF THE FAN TO FLY INTO MY RADIATOR WHICH CAUSED MY RADIATOR DAMAGE AND LEFT A HOLE IN MY RADIATOR. ADDITIONALLY I HAD TO PAY $571.36 TO REPAIR MY 2008 DODGE CHARGER AND THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS ON TOP OF THAT. I HAVE FULL RECEIPTS FOR THE REPAIRS AND I ALSO HAVE PICTURES OF THE BROKEN FAN AND DAMAGED RADIATOR. AFTER GOING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S WEBSITE WWW.NHTSA.GOV I DISCOVERED THAT DODGE HAD A TSBS OUT FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEREFORE, THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT MY FAULT WHAT SO EVER. *TR

I DRIVING AND MERGED ONTO ROUTE 3 GOING SOUTH; I TURNED MY RIGHT BLINKER ON SINCE THE RAMP WAS ON THE RIGHT, IT SHUT OFF WHEN I GOT ON THE EXPRESSWAY. AUTOMATICALLY THE LEFT BLINKER CAME ON, EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT TURN IT ON. WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY GOING 60MPH WITH THREE KIDS IN THE CAR I HAD TO TRY TO TURN OFF THE BLINKER, WHICH WOULD NOT TURN OFF. IT WAS A SCARY SITUATION SINCE THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC; SO I WAS TRYING TO WATCH THE TRAFFIC (WHICH MAY THINK I WAS MERGING LEFT) AND FIX THE ISSUE AT THE SAME TIME. REPEATEDLY THE RIGHT BLINKER CAME ON, THEN THE LEFT AGAIN. THERE WAS A LOUD CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TRIED TO FIX IT, AFTER SEVERAL TRIES THE BLINKER SHUT OFF. I GOT OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AND EVERY TURN I MADE THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I CALL AND EMAILED CHRYSLER DODGE. I WAS TOLD A SUPERVISOR WOULD RETURN MY CALL WITHIN 24 HOURS. THEY DID NOT. I REPEATEDLY EMAILED AND CALLED. IN THE INTERIM I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND BY SPEAKING TO MECHANICS AND SERVICE PEOPLE AT DODGE DEALERSHIPS. ACCORDING TO ALL OF THESE SOURCES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE CHARGERS. TODAY, JULY 26TH, I FINALLY TALKED TO A SUPERVISOR AFTER CALLING DODGE ANOTHER TWO TIMES. HE ([XXX]) SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE PART (WHICH I FOUND OUT WAS A CLOCK SPRING FAILURE) AND THAT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING TO HELP. I ASKED IF HE WOULD ALLOW ME TO TALK TO HIS SUPERIOR AND HE SAID HE DIDN'T HAVE ONE. HE THEN SAID HE DID BUT THEY WOULD TELL ME THE SAME THING. I ASKED IF THEY WERE GOING TO AT LEAST WARN OTHER OWNERS OF THIS ISSUE AND HE SAID NO, THAT THE CASE WAS CLOSED. I TOLD HIM ABOUT THE INFORMATION I HAD GAINED BY TALKING TO MECHANICS, SERVICE PEOPLE (INCLUDING THE ONE WHO FIXED MY CAR) AND ONLINE RESEARCH. I TOLD HIM I WOULD FAX IT TO HIM. EVEN WITH ALL OF THIS INFORMATION HE TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

IM SUBMITTING THIS STATEMENT FOR EVERYONE THAT HAS HAD THE UNFORTUNATE PLEASURE OF OWNING A DODGE VEHICLE.

I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AS A RESULT OF OIL SLUDGE BUILDUP. I SUBMITTED ALL MY MAINTENANCE RECORDS SHOWING THAT I WAS GETTING MY MAINTENANCE DONE AND THEY CAME BACK DENYING MY WARRANTY CLAIM. I FEEL LIKE CHRYSLER IS JUST A BIG RIP-OFF WITH THEIR WARRANTIES CAUSE ITS FUNNY THE SERVICE LADY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NO OIL SHOWING ON THE DIPSTICK AND I HAD MY MECHANIC TO LOOK AT MY CAR A DAY BEFORE I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS 3QTS IN THERE SO SOMETHING SOUNDS FISHY TO ME. I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND IM NOT ALONE AND THEY REALLY NEED TO CHECK INTO THIS PROBLEM BUT ITS VERY CONVENIENT FOR THEM TO DENY HAVING TO REPLACE THEIR DEFECTIVE ENGINES.

Summary

I HAVE A 2008 DODGE CHARGER, WHICH HAS HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS TO OCCUR SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN AUG., 2008. 2 OF THE PROBLEMS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY IF I HAD WRECKED WHEN THE STERRING WHEEL LOCKED OR JUST THE OTHER DAY THE FAN BLADE MOTORS LOCKED UP AND BURSTED MY RADIAOTR. THIS VEHICLE IS TOO NEW TO HAVE SO MANY DEFECTS, ESPECIALL LINKING TO ELECTRICAL MATTERS THAT ARE NOT RECOGNIZED BY THE POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY, WHICH I FEEL SHOULD HAVE ALL BEEN COVERED THE THE WARRANTY. AFTER READING HTTP://WWW.DAIMLERCHRYSLERVEHICLEPROBLEMS.COM/, I WISH THIS WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BEFORE MAKING THE DECISION ON THIS DODGE VEHICLE. THE CAR HAS SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE BEING PAID OFF, BUT I AM NOW TERRIFIED TO CONTINUE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE KNOWING ANYTHING, UNPLAINABLE CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT DODGE, CHRYSLER, JEEP FOR PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER. *KB

Summary

I OWN A 2008 DODGE CHARGER, I RECENTLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WHEN THE DS POWER SEATS STOPPED WORKING FOLLOWED BY THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS. TOOK IT TO DODGE COUNTRY IN KILLEEN, TX WHERE I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MAN THAT THE WIRES HAD MELTED TOGETHER NEAR THE FUSE BOX IN TRUCK AND THAT IT WAS A FIRE HAZARD. HE COULD NOT TELL ME WHERE THE PROBLEM ORIGINATED, BUT INFORMED ME TO CALL MY INSURANCE CO. AND FILE A CLAIM WITH THEM. HE SAID AND I QUOTE "TELL THEM YOU SPILLED SOMETHING IN THE TRUCK, GET YOUR HUSBAND TO AGREE ON IT, AND THEY SINCE THEY INSURE STUPIDITY THEY WILL LIKELY COVER THIS, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU DECIDE SO WE CAN ALL HAVE THE SAME STORY & I WILL TELL THEM WHAT YOU WANT!". THAT NIGHT I WENT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP TO PICK UP MY CAR CHARGER OUT OF MY CAR AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW BOTH SEATS ARE WORKING AS WELL AS MY LOCKS! I DID CALL MY INSURANCE CO. AS WELL AS FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER AND INFORMED BOTH PARTIES WHAT THE SERVICE GUY TOLD ME TO DO. WHEN BOTH DENIED MY CLAIM I CALLED DODGE COUNTRY AND INFORMED THEM I WOULD BE PICKING UP MY CAR. WHEN I GOT MY RECEIPT WITH DIAGNOSTIC REPORT IT STATED THE "FUSE IN PDC MELTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED" NOT WIRING HARNESS LIKE I WAS TOLD ORIGINALLY. GOT IN MY CAR AND SEAT WAS MOVED ALL THE WAY UP TO STEERING WHEEL AND NOT WORKING AGAIN!!! THESE PEOPLE DO BAD BUSINESS! THEY FIXED IT AND WHEN I REFUSED TO PAY THE $4500 THEY WANTED TO REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS THE UNFIXED IT! MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT IT WASN'T THE WIRES IN THE FIRST PLACE. THEY ALSO BENT THE FUSES IN PDC FROM PULLING THEM OUT WITH PLIERS! DODGE HAS YET TO RETURN A PHONE CALL! CAR STILL INOP!! *TR

Summary

I BOUGHT A 2008 DODGE CHARGER IN MARCH OF '08. THE FRONT BRAKES WERE SQUEAKING, ONE WEEK AFTER BUYING THE CAR. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR AND STEERING WHEEL WOULD ALSO SHAKE AND VIBRATE. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER TO INFORM THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS. I RETURNED TO PICK THE CAR UP AFTER THEY CALLED ME TO TELL ME THEY HAD FIXED IT. I ASKED THEM WHAT WORK THEY DID AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY "CLEANED" THE PADS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE BRAKES WERE STILL SQUEAKING AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR OFF THE LOT. THE CAR ALSO CONTINUED TO SHAKE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. I RETURNED SHORTLY AFTER TO HAVE THEM TRY AND FIX IT AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKES FOR 2008 CHARGERS "SUCK" AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO BUY AFTERMARKET ROTORS AND PADS. I BOUGHT THE PARTS AND RETURNED TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM INSTALL THEM. ONE WEEK LATER, THEY WERE SQUEAKING AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2008 CHARGERS AS I'VE FOUND BY READING NUMEROUS FORUMS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

MY 2008 DODGE CHARGER WILL LOSE A/C, RADIO, TURN SIGNALS AND POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES STALL OUT COMPLETELY WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER 10 TIMES FOR SAME PROBLEM - DEALER HAS REPLACED STEERING COLUMN MODULE 3 TIMES BUT I AM STILL HAVING SAME PROBLEM. THIS STARTED HAPPENING IN MAY 2010 THEN MORE FREQUENT IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND JUST HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY (12-15-2010). DEALER PLACED FLIGHT RECORDER IN VEHICLE AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH THAT INSTALLED I LOST A/C, RADIO AND TURN SIGNALS. DEALER COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM SO THEY SENT RESULTS FROM FLIGHT RECORDER TO CHRYSLER - AS OF TODAY I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THE DEALER. NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM FEELING VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR (ESPECIALLY WITH MY CHILDREN INSIDE) NOT KNOWING WHEN THE CAR WILL DECIDE TO LOSE ALL POWER AND STALL WHILE DRIVING .. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2008 DODGE CHARGER IN THE FIRST MONTH IT WAS HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WERE I WOULD LOOSE POWER TO THE DASH BOARD AND THE LIGHTS THEN THE CAR WOULD JUST SHUT OFF. I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR AND THEY REPLACED THE RELAY. THE CAR CONTINUED TO HAVE THESE ISSUES NOT FREQUENTLY ENOUGH WERE THE DEALERSHIP WOULD LET ME BRING IT IN. 12 MONTHS GO BUY AND I BRING IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP ANYWAY AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REGENERATE THE PROBLEM. 2 MONTHS LATER THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE FROM THE TRUNK AND BURNED TO THE GROUND. THE FIRE MARSHALL DID NOT DO A FORENSIC INVESTIGATION BUT SAID IT OBVIOUSLY LOOKS TO HAVE STARTED WITH THE BATTERY AND I AGREED WITH THE AMOUNT OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS I HAD WITH THIS CAR. THERE WAS NO AFTER-MARKET ANYTHING ON THIS CAR IT WAS ALL STOCK. DODGE WILL NOT HELP OR RELEASE ANY INFO TO ME IN REGARDS TO THE PROBLEM. THEY WONT EVEN TALK TO ME. 3 MONTHS LATER I MOVED TO ARIZONA AND MET A PERSON WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

Summary

I HAVE A 2008 DODGE CHARGER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS WONDERING WHY. I TOOK THE CAR INTO AUTOZONE TO GET THE SCAN VIA OBDII, THE SCAN CAME UP WITH CODE P1004 WHICH IS A DEALER CODE. I IMMEDIATELY RESEARCHED THE CODE AND FOUND THAT IT WAS DUE TO MY "SHORT RUNNER VALVE" AND MY INTAKE MANIFOLD. THIS ISSUE IS A WIDESPREAD EPIDEMIC AMONG CHRYSLER CARS; SEBRING, CHARGER, 300...MOSTLY 3.5 ENGINES. THE DEALERSHIP (DARCARS DODGE NEW CARROLLTON MD) TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT IS OUT OF HAND AND ALSO THAT THE FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE LINKED TO EMISSIONS. THIS IS VERY CONFUSING TO ME AND ALSO BAFFLING. CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED THE NEXT DAY AFTER THEY CALLED TO CONFIRM INFORMATION ON FRIDAY OCT.15. I NEVER RECEIVED THAT CALL. I DO NOT FEEL LIKE THE COMPANY REALLY CARES ABOUT IT'S CONSUMERS ONLY HOW MANY CARS THEY CAN SHOOT OFF THE LOT. EVEN WITH FURTHER RESEARCH IT IS A KNOWN FACT TO THE COMPANY THAT THEY RUSHED PRODUCTION ON THE 3.5L MOTORS, BUT WHY? ARE WE NOT CONSUMERS? I HAVE TWO OF CHRYSLER'S VEHICLES IN MY DRIVEWAY; 2007 CHRYSLER 300 AS WELL AS 2008 DODGE CHARGER, DO I NOT DESERVE BETTER? THIS REALLY SICKENS ME AND THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY ON THE FORUMS I FREQUENT!!!! WE AS CONSUMERS DO NOT ASK YOU GUYS FOR MUCH, BUT IF WE TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY YOUR PRODUCTS HAVE THE DECENCY TO MAKE SURE OUR FAMILIES ARE SAFE.... SINCERELY, DISAPPOINTED CONSUMER. *TR

WE HAD PURCHASED A 2008 DODGE CHARGER WITH 2 MILES. APPROXIMATELY 3-4 MONTHS AFTER WE HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT HAD ENGINE OIL ON CRANKSHAFT SEAL, SPEEDOMETER WAS ERRATIC IT WOULD GO FROM 60-0 FROM CRUISING, IT HAD A JOLT PULLING FEELING. FROM THAT POINT ON THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS NOT COOLING PROPERLY, & HAD A FOUL SMELL, CRUISE CONTROL WOULD CANCEL BY ITSELF. THEN ON 06/23/2008 IT HAD ENGINE OIL LEAK. SO WE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING THAT WOULD JUST COMPLETELY RUIN OUR CREDIT, WE VOLUNTARILY TURNED IN THE CAR. AS OF TODAY 02/26/2009 WE HAVE A BALANCE AS PER CHRYSLER OF 7,500 DOLLARS BECAUSE THEY WERE ONLY ABLE TO SELL IT FOR 17,000. I HAVE INVOICES, TO PROOF WHAT OUR ISSUES WERE, SOME WERE REPLACED, SOME TSB WAS AND WASN'T FOUND. WE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ONLY 7-8 MONTHS. AND FOR THIS TO BE SUCH AN ISSUE WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE TO ME WAS JUST RIDICULOUS. SINCE THAT WAS THE MAIN REASON I HAD PURCHASED A BRAND NEW CAR IN THE FIRST PLACE. *TR

THERE SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH DODGE CHARGERS (2006 - PRESENT). WHEN ACCELERATING AND PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL A "WHISTLE" SOUND CAN BE HEARD COMING FROM THE POWERTRAIN / ENGINE SECTION. THE SOUND ONLY OCCURS DURING STEADY ACCELERATION BETWEEN 40 - 65 MPH. IF THE GAS PEDAL IS RELEASED OR PRESSED HARDER THE SOUND GOES AWAY. MANY CHARGER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE ON THEIR VEHICLES (SE, SE+, SRT, R/T, ETC..) BUT THE SERVICE CENTERS AT THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE YET TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE AND THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS YET. THIS COULD BE AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF CHARGER VEHICLES AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

Summary

I PURCHASED THIS CAR ON AUGUST 4 2008. INITIALLY, WHEN I TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, THE CAR WOULD MILDLY VIBRATE ON A COMPLETE STOP. I TOLD THE SALES REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WE BOTH AGREED IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A MINOR ISSUE. HE STATED THE PROBLEM WILL BE CORRECTED PRIOR TO PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. I DID NOT THINK NOTHING OF THE ISSUE. THE DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE SALES REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED THROUGH THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT. ONE WEEK LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTED UP ON A SATURDAY MORNING PRIOR TO ME GOING TO WORK. I DROVE TO WORK WITH THE LIGHT ON WITH NO OTHERS PROBLEMS. AFTER ARRIVING AT WORK, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP REQUESTING A APPOINTMENT AT EARLIEST TUESDAY MORNING. ON THAT TUESDAY MORNING, THE MAINTENANCE REPRESENTATIVE SUGGESTED THAT THE ENGINE SENSOR REVEALED " FLEX PLATE" ALSO THAT I SHOULD LEAVE THE VEHICLE WITH HIM FOR ARRIVAL OF THE PART THE FOLLOWING DAY. I AGREED AND WAITED FOR TWO DAYS. ON FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 15 2008, I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE UNDER THE ASSUMPTION EVERYTHING WAS OKAY.
