2011 Dodge Challenger 2 DR RWD

I had the dealership fix a recall (N9C07) for the passenger seat wiring harness connector for the passenger side airbag a while back. My airbag warning lamp turned on recently and my mechanic told me it was that same issue that the recall was supposed to fix. I was told by the dealer that since this was replaced once already, they refused to replace it again. This is a major safety concern if the passenger side airbag does not deploy correctly. It is outrageous that their part is malfunctioning at no fault of my own and they refuse to fix it.

The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated that at the time of purchase he noticed that the driver’s side front window failed to close securely in the window seal. The contact attempted to manually place the window into the seal but was unable to fix the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 138,000.

My vehicle was inspected for recall 13V-118, however the part was not replaced and is now having intermittent electrical issues, disconnecting the air bag system. I would like to have the vehicle re-inspected under this same recall and the problem corrected.

THE BRAKE PEDAL ON THIS VEHICLE GOES TO THE FLOOR WHEN BRAKING ON GRAVEL ROADS. IT RETURNS FUNCTIONING AFTER PUMPING THE PEDAL. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN LAKE HAVASU CITY, AZ HAS HAD THE VEHICLE TWICE FOR A WEEK OR TWO AND LAST WEEK TOLD US THAT THESE VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN ON DIRT ROADS BECAUSE THE DUST GETS ON THE ABS SENSOR AND CAN CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. THIS CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN ON THIS SAME ROAD FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HAS JUST STARTED DOING THIS IN THE LAST YEAR. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I PAID THEM TO CHANGE THE MASTER CYLINDER ON THE FIRST VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS CAUSED BY THE MASTER CYLINDER IN THE PAST. OF COURSE THIS WAS BEFORE ABS AND CARS BECOMING SO COMPLICATED THAT I CAN NO LONGER WORK ON THEM. CHANGING THE MASTER CYLINDER DID HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE PROBLEM, BUT IT DID NOT CURE IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND I AM CONCERNED THAT DODGE HAS NOT TAKEN THIS PROBLEM AS SERIOUSLY AS THEY SHOULD. THE FIRST CASE NUMBER THAT DODGE GAVE ME WAS 79023033. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO SEND A TECHNICIAN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HELP, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HAPPENED. THE SECOND CASE NUMBER IS 79309555. THEY SAID WE COULD TAKE IT TO OTHER DEALERSHIPS FOR A SECOND OPINION AT OUR EXPENSE WHICH OF COURSE WILL BE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE.

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW CYCLES UP AND DOWN WHILE THE CAR IS SHUT OFF AND LOCKED AT NIGHT AND DRAINS THE BATTERY

THE AUXILIARY FUEL PUMP MODULE DEVELOPED A CRACK AND STARTED LEAKING A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK HAD A LARGE PUDDLE OF FUEL AND IT WAS RUNNING DOWN ALL SIDE OF THE FUEL TANK AND ON TO THE GROUND. THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD. ALSO THERE ARE ACCESS PANELS UNDER THE BACK SEAT AREA OF THE CAR TO REPLACE THE PUMP MODULES. FUMES FROM THE FUEL ENTERED THE CAR FROM THOSE ACCESS POINTS AND MADE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BE INSIDE THE CAR. I FIRST NOTICED THE SMELL AFTER FILLING THE THE FUEL TANK AND WHEN I GOT HOME I NOTICED THE FUEL RUNNING OUT ON TO MY DRIVEWAY.

THE AIRBAG WARNING SIGN WILL SOMETIMES APPEAR AND THEN DISAPPEARS. LATELY IT WILL NOT DISAPPEAR

I WAS DRIVING MY DODGE CHALLENGER DOWN THE ROAD AND THEN LOSS POWER STEERING. THE CAR IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. UPON FURTHER READING AND RESEARCHING MANY CHALLENGER OWNERS WITH THE 2011-UP HAVE THE ISSUE THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PUMP FAILS. I HAVE READ OVER A HUNDRED SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON 3 SITES... HERE IS ONE SITTE HTTPS://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/DODGE/CHALLENGER/STEERING-PROBLEMS.PHP HTTPS://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/DODGE/CHALLENGER/STEERING-PROBLEMS2.PHP THE ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC STEERING.PUMPS FAIL WITH NO WARNING. I CALLED CHRYSLER FIAT AND WAS TOLD ITS NOT AN ISSUE FOR RECALL? REALLY LOOSING ALL STEERING IS NOT AN ISSUE? THEN THE PART IS OVER 1,000.00 AND 250.00 LABOR. I ALMOST ATE A LIGHT POLE TURNING A CORNER SO I FIND THIS A REAL PROBLEM AND DANGER WITH THESE CARS.

THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW KEEPS MOVING UP AND DOWN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF AND THERE IS NO KEY IN THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DRAIN THE BATTERY. IT ALSO IT WHILE I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE SMOKE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE BATTERY POWER WAS DRAINED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER DICK POE DODGE (1363 AIRWAY BOULEVARD EL PASO, TX 79925-2213) WHO DIAGNOSED THE ALTERNATOR WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

THE CAR WAS STARTING TO SMOKE SO MY SON PULLED OVER I CHECK OUT I OPEN UP THE HOOD AND SMOKING WAS COMING OUT OF THE ALTERNATOR I WAS ON MY STREET BLOCK. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE AUXILIARY FUEL MODULE LEAKING GASOLINE UNDER REAR SEAT. OLD SEAL REPLACED, BUT UNIT STILL LEAKS GASOLINE WHEN THE TANK IS MORE THAN 3/4 FULL. STARTED LEAKING OVER A YEAR AGO, WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I NOTICED IT AFTER FILLING THE CAR'S GAS TANK AT A LOCAL GAS STATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SMART GLASS WINDOW SWITCH FAILED, AND CAUSED THE DRIVER'S DOOR TO FAIL TO OPEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL UNKNOWN MECHANICS. THE CONTACT ALSO REPLACED THE SMART SWITCH HIMSELF HOWEVER, THE REPAIRS DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE SMART GLASS SWITCH FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE BATTERY TO DRAIN AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS, THE TRUNK, AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEN SINCE MARCH OF 2017. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACTED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SMART GLASS SWITCH MANUFACTURER RECALL: M24. THE CONTACT ALSO WANTED TO ADD THAT THE SMART GLASS SWITCH WAS PURCHASE FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER THE PART NUMBER WAS 68064403AF. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,742.

WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN CAR LOST POWER AND THEN STOPPED SHUT OFF STEERING WAS THEN HARD AND DIFFICULT TO TURN ON A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND THEN I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE VEHICLE THE STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULTLY WILL CRANK BUT WILL NOT START BECAUSE THE ALTERNATOR GAVE UP DIED I THEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT I JUST HAD TO TAKE IT OVER THERE I HAD TO TOW IT OVER THERE THEN AS I GOT IT THERE THEY SAID THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T TURN ON I TOLD HIM IT WAS BECAUSE THE ALTERNATOR WAS NO GOOD AND IT SHUT OFF AND THE STORY BEHIND IT THEY DIDN'T SAY THAT THEY WOULD CHARGE ME AND THEY'VE HAD IT SINCE THURSDAY TODAY IS NOW SUNDAY THEY SAID THEY CANNOT WORK ON IT UNTIL THEY KNOW FOR SURE THAT IS THE ALTERNATOR I KNOW IT IS I HAD IT CHECKED BEFORE THE ALTERNATOR HAD WENT OUT

ELECTRICAL FAILURE. IDENTICAL TO THE DESCRIPTION OF P60 / NHTSA 14V-634

MY WINDOWS KEEP GOING UP AND DOWN BY THERE SELF AND KILLING MY BATTERY AND WHEN I WAKE UP CAR IS DEAD

ISSUES WITH FUEL. HAVING TO CONSTANTLY REPLACE FUEL CAP. CLUTCH GETS STUCK.

THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW 'SMART SWITCH' IS MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN. IT HAS WAS REPLACED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. I WAS TOLD MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, MISSED IT BY A MONTH. THE FACT IS MY VEHICLE MEETS ALL THE CRITERIA AS THE VEHICLES UNDER THE RECALL. CAN I GET SOME HELP HERE PLEASE?

HELLO SO I WAS GOING THROUGH DRIVETHRU AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED RUBBLING AND IT STOP AND DIDN'T KNOW TO DO BECAUSE I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE. SO I TURNT OFF THE CAR AND TURNT IT BACK ON AND IT WOULDN'T START IT WILL JUST MAKE THE RUBBLING SOUND I DID A JUMP AND STILL NOTHING AT ALL.

TAKATA RECALL POWER STERN TIGHT ALTERNATOR RECAL AND AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WON'T GO OFF

MY CHALLENGER IS MAKING A WIERD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. SEE RECALL BELOW CHRYSLER ANNOUNCED THIS MORNING THAT IT WILL BE EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON 3.6-LITER PENTASTAR V-6 ENGINES IN CERTAIN 2011-2013 VEHICLES DUE TO CRACKED CYLINDER HEADS ON EARLY VERSIONS OF THE ENGINE ACCORDING TO AUTOMOTIVE NEWS, ROUGHLY 7500 ENGINES BUILT AS THE PENTASTAR V-6 WAS FIRST COMING OUT IN 2012, WERE FOUND TO BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO LEFT-CYLINDER HEAD CRACKS, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN ENGINE FAILURE. CHRYSLER FIRST DISCOVERED THE ISSUE WHEN CUSTOMERS BEGAN COMPLAINING THAT THEIR VEHICLES WERE MAKING TICKING NOISES, STALLING, OR THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS INEXPLICABLY DISPLAYING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE 3.6-LITER PENTASTAR V-6 COMES WITH A 5-YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY, WHICH CHRYSLER WILL BE EXTENDING TO 10-YEARS/150,000 MILES ON THE LEFT-CYLINDER HEAD. THE CRACKED LEFT-CYLINDER HEAD ISSUE POTENTIALLY AFFECTS ABOUT 0.5-PERCENT OF VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE 3.6-LITER V-6. CHRYSLER DETERMINED THAT SUBPAR FUEL ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF DRIVING CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTED TO THE ISSUE. A DESIGN MODIFICATION IN LATE 2012 HAS REPORTEDLY FIXED THE ISSUE IN NEWER VEHICLES. THE 3.6-LITER V-6, THE FIRST OF THE PENTASTAR FAMILY THAT NOW INCLUDES A 3.2-LITER VERSION, COMES STANDARD IN NUMEROUS CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THE 3.6-LITER PENTASTAR IS STANDARD ON THE: CHRYSLER 300, DODGE CHALLENGER, DODGE CHARGER, JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, JEEP WRANGLER, RAM 1500, AND RAM PROMASTER. IT'S OPTIONAL ON BOTH THE PREVIOUS-GENERATION AND CURRENT CHRYSLER 200, AND DODGE AVENGER.

A YEAR AFTER I REPLACED THE DRIVER'S SIDE SMART GLASS SWITCH, THE DOOR RELEASE HAS BEEN AMLFUNCTIONING. IT WILL UNLOCK, BUT YOU CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR- ESPECIALLY ON HOT DAYS. THIS IS A SAFTEY RISK- IF I NEED THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE, I CAN'T EVEN GET IT OPEN.

THERE IS A HEAVY DRAIN ON BATTERY THAT CAUSES BATTERY TO DRAIN WHEN IT SITS FOR A COUPLE DAYS OR MORE

ON APRIL 6, 2019, WHILE I WAS DRIVING, MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED SOLID RED, THEN IT WOULD GO OFF AND ON WITH CHIMING SOUND. BECAUSE MY 2011 CHALLENGER IS NOT IN RECALL, DEALER WILL CHARGE UNWARRANTED COST.

TAKATA RECALL. MY AIRBAG LIGHT RANDOMLY TURNS ON AND OFF. AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING, THE LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF AND IT CONTINUOUSLY BEEPS. ITS NERVE WRECKING WHILE I'M DRIVING ON LOCAL ROADS AND EVEN MORE WHEN FRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY; HAS ME VERY CONCERNED. IT STARTED MARCH 23RD AND SINCE THEN, ITS BEEN DOING IT RANDOMLY.

NOTICED FLUID LEAKING IN FRONT OF REAR PASSENGER TIRE.UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND IT TO BE GASOLINE. THEN I LOOKED UNDER THE REAR SEAT AND FOUND A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ACCUMULATED IN THE FUEL PUMP AREA ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED SO THE PUDDLE ON THE GROUND AND UNDER THE SEAT WERE VERY NOTICEABLE. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. ALSO, THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW INDEPENDENTLY ROLLED UP AND DOWN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GLENDALE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (900 S BRAND BLVD, GLENDALE, CA 91204, (818) 839-2457) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LATCH WAS DRAINING THE BATTERY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

THE. CAR CONTINUES TO DIE WITHOUT REASON. WOKE UP ONE MORNING CAR WOULD NOT START. JUMPED CAR AND IT RAN WITH NO PROBLEM. SHUT CAR OFF AND WOULD NOT START. REPLACED BATTERY STILL WILL ONLY START WHEN JUMPED. ONCE STARTED CAR RUNS FINE.

I'M A OWNER OF A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. I'VE NOTICED NOT ONLY ON MY CAR, BUT EVERY DODGE CHALLENGER REACHED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MILES, MINES HAS 57,000 MILES AND THERE'S CLICKING SOUND FROM THE DASH WHICH A/C AND HEAT TO STOP WORK. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON FOR THE DODGE CHALLENGER, AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON IT, BECAUSE ITS A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH THE CHALLENGER, AND THE PROBLEM TENDS TO OCCUR AFTER A CERTAIN MILEAGE. THIS IS SOMETHING I DEEPLY FEEL THAT NEEDS A RECALL. PLEASE AND THANK YOU

I JUST WROTE IN ABOUT THE CLICKING SOUND FROM DASH ONCE IT REACH ABOUT 56,000 MILES. SORRY, BUT I FORGOT TO MENTION. I HAD THE SLIGHTEST CLUE WHAT THE SOUND WAS, OR WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM, SO OF COURSE I GOT ON YOUTUBE TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM JUST TO MAKE SURE IT WAS NOT JUST ME, AND I WAS VERY GREATLY APPALLED TO THE NUMBER OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE OWNERS OF CHALLENGERS THAT HAD OR HAS THE SAME ISSUE AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE WHAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND IT'S HIGHLY UNSAFE. THE CLICKING SOUND EVEN OCCURS WHILE DRIVING. I DIDN'T KNOW RATHER THE CAR WAS ABOUT TO EXPLODE OR WHAT, BECAUSE THE CLICKING SOUND IS SO INTENSE. I POP MY TRUNK AND THERE'S CLICKING. I UNLOCK MY DOORS AND THERE'S CLICKING. ON SEPT. 21, 2018 WHEN THE SOUND BEGAN, OUT THE BLUE THERE WAS A CLICKING SOUND SO LOUD, I THOUGHT THE KEY WAS GOING TO FALL OUT THE IGNITION WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT, AND THIS HAS NOT ONLY HAPPENED TO ME, BUT THOUSANDS OTHER. THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE FIND AN ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. 5.7 HEMI ENGINE SNAPPED #7 PUSH ROD WHILE DRIVING ON I-10 AT NORMAL SPEEDS. ALL MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED REGULARLY WITH NO INDICATION OF THIS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE ENGINE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF 8500 DOLLARS.

'TAKATA RECALL' I WAS GETTING IN MY CAR TO HEAD TO WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 10:40PM WHEN I TRIED STARTING THE CAR BUT IT STALLED AND ALL ELECTRICAL POWER SHUT DOWN. I TRIED AGAIN AND IT DID THE SAME. AFTER RESEARCHING, I FOUND OUT THAT MY CAR HAS A RECALL (P60) FOR THE ALTERNATORDIODE THERMAL FATIGUE. I HAD BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING FOR A WEEK BEFORE THIS HAPPENED BUT IT SEEM TO CRANK AFTER A WHILE BUT NOW IT'S NOT STARTING AT ALL. IT HAPPEN ONCE ONLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING. PLEASE HELP!

2011 CHALLENGER WITH LESS THAN 3000 MILES. STORED IN GARAGE (ATTACHED TO HOUSE), NEVER OUT IN WINTER OR IN RAIN. WENT TO START THE VEHICLE TO TAKE IN FOR A RECALL WHEN THE ELECTRONICS STARTED TO FLASH AND CLICK RANDOMLY. UNABLE TO CLEAR OR STOP THE MALFUNCTION. TRUNK WOULD NOT RELEASE ELECTRICALLY, HAD TO CRAWL THROUGH THE BACK SEAT TO GET TO THE MANUAL RELEASE. DISCONNECTED AND REPLACED ORIGINAL BATTERY (IN TRUNK). UPON CONNECTING NEGATIVE TERMINAL, LARGE DRAW ON BATTERY, TERMINAL BECAME HOT IMMEDIATELY. DISCONNECTED TERMINAL WITHIN 10 SECONDS. SMOKE APPEARED FROM UNDER HOOD. OPENED HOOD AND FOUND SMALL FIRE NEAR ALTERNATOR. FIRE EXTINGUISHED WITH ABOUT 1 LITER OF WATER. FOUND BURNED OUT WIRING HARNESS NEAR ALTERNATOR. FLAT BED TOWED INTO DEALER FOR INVESTIGATION AND SERVICE (PENDING).

WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN, THE DRIVERS WINDOW SUDDENLY WENT UP ALMOST CATCHING MY SONS ARM IN THE WINDOW. THE WINDOW CONTINUED TO GO UP AND DOWN ALL ON ITS OWN. EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED AND DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. HOWEVER IT APPEARS THAT DURING THE NIGHT THE WINDOW STARTED MOVING ON ITS OWN AND EVENTUALLY KILLED THE BATTERY. IN RESEARCHING I FOUND THAT THE 2011 CHALLENGERS HAD A SMART GLASS PROBLEM, EXACTLY LIKE THIS, BUT IT WAS ONLY ON BUILDS BEFORE MARCH 2011 AND THIS CAR WAS JULY 2011. I FEAR THAT DURING THE NIGHT IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE PARKED IN GARAGE IT COULD POSSIBLE OVERHEAT MOTOR AND CAUSE FIRE. OR TRAP MY SONS ARM IN WINDOW WHILE DRIVING.

AIR BAGS GO ON AND OFF RANDOMLY AS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA #13V118000. CHRYSLER SAYS MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL AND REFUSE TO EVEN LOOK AT IT. EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON OR GOES OFF. MOST OF THE TIME MY AIRBAGS DO NOT WORK.

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT WILL NOT EXTEND. IT IS STUCK WITHOUT ANY SLACK. I AM NOT ABLE TO PUT ON THE SEAT BELT TO DRIVE. BIG SAFTEY HAZARD. NOTHING HAPPENED THAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. THE SEAT BELT WORKED FINE THE PREVIOUS DAY. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE AS I TRIED TO PUT ON THE SEAT BELT BUT IT WOULDNT MOVE. ITS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE AN ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME AND THERE IS NOTHING PREVENTING THE DRIVER FROM HITTING THEIR HEAD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL OR FLYING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. MY CAR IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD. I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE AT NO COST TO THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE.

THE POWER STEERING PUMP WENT OUT MAKING THE CAR INOPERABLE WHILE OUT OF TOWN. THE COST TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WAS OVER 1,400.00.

2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NHTSA RECALL 17V435. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT TIME COMPLETING THE RECALL REPAIR. *JS

THE SMART GLASS SWITCH FOR THE POWER WINDOWS DRAINS THE BATTERY WHILE THE CAR IS POWERED OFF. CHRYSLER HAS A 'MINOR' RECALL ON IT FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR, BUT THEY DECIDED MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED EVEN THOUGH ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALL ARE PRESENT AND MY VEHICLE MATCHES THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF THE RECALL

MY AIRBAG IS SHOWING THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN CONTINUOUSLY CHECKING THE RECALLS FOR MY VIN SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS RECALL NOTICE AND MY VEHICLE IS STILL NOT ONE THAT APPEARS TO BE ON THE LIST FOR RECALL. I AM SURE IT NEEDS TO BE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I BELIEVE THAT MY CAR SHOULD HAVE THE NECESSARY "LIFE SAVING" REPAIRS COMPLETED AT NO CHARGE TO ME SINCE THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE.

ON OCCASION THE TRUNK WILL SUDDENLY FALL DOWN WHEN IT SHOULD REMAIN UP. THE TRUNK HAS FALLEN ON MY HEAD AND INJURED ME MORE THAN ONCE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE IS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 WITH ABOUT 80K MILES. VEHICLE IS PARKED AND TURNED OFF WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURS. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AS THE RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED OVER SIX MONTHS AGO. JIM RIEHL'S FRIENDLY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1515 S LAPEER RD, LAPEER, MI 48446, (810) 664-2900) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES AND CONFIRMED THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN TWO OR THREE MONTHS. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

GAS TANK LEAKING AT SEAM WHERE THE TWO HALVES OF THE GAS TANK ARE PUT TOGETHER. THE GAS TANK IS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC WHICH IS BY THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WHICH IS VERY HOT AND COULD CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION . MAN AT DEALERSHIP PARTS DEPARTMENT SAID THIS WAS COMMON ,BUT NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED TO DO A RECALL. CAR CAN BE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION AND YOU CAN SMELL GAS INSIDE THE CAR. WHEN CAR IS PARKED YOU CAN ALSO SMELL GAS IN THE TRUNK AND OUTSIDE THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND FLAMES APPEARED FROM THE ALTERNATOR. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND DROVE TO DON DAVIS DODGE JEEP (1901 N COLLINS ST, ARLINGTON, TX 76011 (877) 376-9083). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TAKATA INFLATORS NO REMEDY/REPLACEMENT FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. HAVE CALLED DEALER 3 TIMES SINCE RECEIVING RECALL NOTICE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT CHRYSLER/DODGE DOES NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT.

160/180 AMP ALTERNATORS RECALL T36 HAS BEEN OUT FOR 6 MONTHS AND THERE IS STILL NO UPDATE FROM FCA OR DEALERS ON WHEN PARTS WILL ARRIVE. WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP FOR SOMETHING THAT CAN RESULT IN MY CAR AND 1.3 MILLION OTHERS FROM POSSIBLY CATCHING FIRE OR LOSING POWER AS THE RECALL SAYS. I'M JUST LOOKING FOR AN UPDATE. MAHALO

THE SMART WINDOW CYCLING UP AND DOWN WHILE NOT RUNNING . THIS IS RUNNING MY BATTERY DOWN

DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AT NIGHT ALTERNATOR STOPS WORKING. EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL SHUTS OFF - ABLE TO ROLL MOSTLY INTO A TURNING LANE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET BEFORE IT STOPPED. EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL TURNS OFF - NO LIGHTS -OTHER DRIVERS CANNOT SEE THE CAR. LEFT IN A VERY VULNERABLE UNSAFE POSITION - I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL TO PUSH OUT OF ROAD. LEFT IN A VERY UNSAFE POSITION. CALLED TOW TRUCK WHO WAS ABLE TO GET THERE BEFORE ANYTHING BAD HAPPENED. LEARNED OF THE RECALL OVER THE INTERNET - I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL. IF I HAD KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL, I WOULD HAVE REPAIRED THE CAR - I NEVER WOULD HAVE DRIVER THIS CAR IF I HAD KNOWN. DODGE DOES NOT HAVE A "FIX" IN PLACE SO I MUST REPAIR THE CAR ON MY OWN AND WAIT UNTIL THEY GET IT FIGURED OUT OVER AT DODGE.

CAR STALLS RIGHT AFTER INITIAL STARTING ATTEMPT 50% OF TIME. MUST CYCLE THE STARTING BUTTON THREE TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO START. OCCURS RANDOMLY HOT OR COLD. NO ENGINE CODES OCCUR. DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT SUGGESTS THAT IT MIGHT BE THE KEY FOBS OR SOMETHING CALLED A "WIN" MODULE. THE PROBLEM BEGAN RIGHT AFTER AN ALTERNATOR FAILURE. I AM NOT WILLING TO INVEST MONEY IN REPAIRING THIS ISSUE UNLESS THERE IS A CLEAR MANUFACTURER STRATEGY TO FIXING THE PROBLEM.

THE ALTERNATOR IN MY 2011 CHALLENGER FAILED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PRIVATE REPAIR FACILITY. THEY TRIED TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT ALTERNATOR, AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT RELEASE THEM THE PART, CLAIMING THEY, THE DEALERSHIP, MUST PERFORM THE REPAIR. THIS IS NOT WHAT THE RECALL LETTER STATES, NOR CAN OR WILL THE DEALERSHIP PERFORM THIS REPAIR IN A TIMELY MANNER. MY CAR HAS BEEN DOWN SINCE 9/22, AND THE DEALER WILL NOT PERFORM THE REPAIR UNTIL 10/5.

GASOLINE VAPORS INSIDE PASSENGER CABIN WHILE DRIVING CAR. FUEL RAIL WAS LEAKING AT SEAM AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT ALONG WITH FUEL INJECTOR O-RINGS.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR GONE OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. DEALER SAID IT WAS THE SAME ALTERNATOR THAT WAS ON THE CHALLANGER RECALLED BUT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL.

STEERING GOT VERY HARD WHEN MAKING TURNS AND VIBRATIONS IN FLOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE.

MY ALTERNATOR HAD A SUDDEN FAILURE THAT LEFT MY STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. MY CAT STARTED SLOW, BUT I RAN A SYSTEMS CHECK AND NO ALERTS SHOWED ON THE DASH. I STARTED DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HWY WHEN MY ABS LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF ONCE. I PULLED TO THE SAFEST PLACE I COULD FIND ON THE ROAD AND TURNED MY CAR OFF AND TRIED THE RESTART. CAR WOULD NOT START AND I WAS STRANDED. I FINALLY HAD SOMEONE STOP AND JUMP ME OFF. I DROVE DIRECTLY TO THE SHOP AND HAD MY BATTERY REPLACED. THE NEXT DAY AS I AM DRIVING TO WORK MY BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON. I ONCE AGAIN GET LEFT STRANDED.

"TAKATA RECALL" RECALL #: S43/NHTSA 16V-352 I RECEIVED THE ABOVE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN MAY 2016 AND TO DATE THE DODGE DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN SIMI VALLEY, CALIFORNIA IS ADVISING THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO PERFORM THE SAFETY RECALL. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE AND WAS ADVISED AT THAT TIME THE THE RECALL COULD STILL NOT BE PERFORMED.

I WAS ON THE 91WEST FWY AND OUT OF NOWHERE MY ABS AND AIRBAGS AND BREAK I SAY ALMOST EVERY LIGHT. ARE ON AFTER THAT MY CAR JUST TURN OFF COMPLETELY WITHOUT NO CONTROL OVER MY CAR GOING ABOUT 70 MPH I NEVER BEFORE HAVE EXPERIENCE SOMETHING LIKE THIS I'M GLAD TO SAY THAT I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE..USUALLY MY KIDS ARE WITH ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, ALL OF THE VEHICLE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,973.

I WAS SOLD A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 FROM GLENDALE DODGE WITHOUT KNOWING IT HAD AN OPEN RECALL ON THE TAKADA AIRBAG

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000(AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 89,000. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVING MY 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T ON THE HIGHWAY ON THE SECOND LANE SWITCHING LANES APPROACHING MY EXIT. AS I TURNED TO THE RIGHT LANE ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD WENT ON AND WITHOUT WARNING MY CAR TURNED OFF CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO STIFFEN UP. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR PULL TO THE SHOULDER AND REALIZED MY BATTERY WAS DEAD. I JUMPSTARTED MY CAR AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO MY DESTINATION WHICH WAS NEARBY AND I PARKED AND TURNED OFF MY CAR. AS SOON AS I TRIED TURNING IT ON MY BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN. I CALLED MY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE FOR A JUMP AND WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR GOING BUT AS SOON AS I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL MY CAR SEEMED TO HAVE A SHORT WHICH CAUSED ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS TO GO AND MY CAR TO TURN OFF AND KILL MY BATTERY. READING HOW MANY OTHER DODGE OWNERS HAVE GONE THROUGH VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND BEEN FORTUNATE TO AVOID GETTING HURT OR HURTING OTHER DRIVERS. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO A BIT MORE SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE MORE COMMON AND SHOULD NOT BE AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. IVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH MY CHALLENGER TO THIS POINT. I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY CHALLENGER COMFORTABLY NOT WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY AND KNOW THE MANUFACTURER HAS DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE AND AVOID THE SAME PROBLEM IN FUTURE MODELS. I EVENTUALLY WOULD LIKE TO OWN A NEWER CHALLENGER MODEL. KNOWING THAT STEPS ARE BEING TAKEN TO AVOID SIMILAR ISSUES ON THEM, I CAN SEE MYSELF GETTING ONE,EVEN IF ASKED TO RETURN THE ONE I OWN NOW.

I WAS AT THE STORE AND TRIED TO START MY CAR. MY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR WOULD NOT START. THOUGHT IT WAS A DEAD BATTERY, BUT AS IT TURNED OUT IT WAS A BAD ALTERNATOR. DODGE HAS HAD ALTERNATOR RECALLS ON OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES FROM THE SAME YEAR AND BROWSING THE INTERNET I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT BAD ALTERNATORS WITH OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE AS MINE. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ALTERNATOR. THIS HAPPENED FEB.11,2017

VEHICLE LEAKS FUEL WHEN YOU FILL THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY. VERY UNSAFE AND LIFE THREATENING AS THIS IS A FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD. CHILDREN RIDE IN THESE VEHICLES. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF AT THE GAS STATION WHILE AND AFTER FILLING UP. 1/4 TAKE OF GAS DRIPPED OUT WITHIN 24 HOURS. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO OF IT DRIPPING BUT CANNOT UPLOAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR PRESENT. ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DID NOT OBSERVE SMOKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR BURNED OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE ALARM TO SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FILLED WITH FUEL, THE CONTACT SMELLED FUEL FUMES INSIDE THE CABIN. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE LEAKED FUEL FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE NEXT TO THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,959.

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE SHUTS THE VEHICLE DOWN WHEN THE BATTERY ISN"T STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE COMPUTER. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE TRACTION CONTROL SHUTS OFF AND BECAUSE THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN THE POWER STEERING IS GONE AND THE POWER BRAKES . THIS HAPPENED TO ME COMING AROUND A SHARP CORNER OF AN OFF RAMP. I LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND ALMOST WENT OFF THE ROAD. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT. OF MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THIS IS COMMON WHEN THE BATTERY CHARGE ISN'T POWERFUL ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN THE COMPUTER. BUT THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNALS OR ANYTHING WITHIN THE CAR TO TELL YOU THE BATTERY IS LOW. I DID A SYSTEM CHECK WHEN I PULLED OVER AND THE SYSTEM SAID "OK". I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. SOME ONE CAN SERIOUSLY BE HURT OR KILLED.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS JUST LITE UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP THE CAR AND THEN I PROCEEDED TO TURN OFF THE CAR. AS I WAS TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT HAPPENED I THEN OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW THE ALTERNATOR SMOKING LIKE IT HAD JUST CAUGHT FIRE OR OVER HEATED. THE SMOKE CLEARED AND I TRIED STARTING THE CAR BUT IT WOULD NOT CRANK. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE PASSENGER SIDE FUEL PUMP HAS DEVELOPED A SMALL HOLE AND IS LEAKING FUEL INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CABIN SMELLS OF GASOLINE AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 5+ MINUTES. ONLY OCCURS AT HIGHER THAN 3/4 TANK OF GAS

FUEL LEAK BY REAR PASSENGER TIRE. LEAKS WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND OFF. PRESSURE FROM HEAT OUTSIDE OR ENGINE RUNNING. DODGE DEALER PUSHED APPT. OUT 2 WEEKS. TOOK VEHICLE TO OWN MECHANIC AND IT WAS FOUND TO BE LEAKING FROM SECONDARY FUEL PUMP ON THE TOP OF IT.AND FUEL LEAKED IN TRANSIT AND CONSTANTLY IN DRIVEWAY.

FOR SOME REASON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FILLED WITH GAS SOMETHING UNDERNEATH THE BACK SEAT IS LEAKING TO WHERE IT CAUSES A PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER THE BACK SEAT AND ALSO DRIPS A PUDDLE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE NEAR THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE. IN ALL MY YEARS OF OWNING VEHICLES NEVER HAD GAS LEAKS. I CALLED DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY'VE NEVER HEARD ABOUT BUT I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. MOST ARE SPEAKING OF IT LEAKING NEAR THE EXHAUST. I'M NOT THE ONE TO COMPLAIN BUT I'M JUST SPEAKING ON SOMETHING I KNOW IS NOT RIGHT! THE ODOR IS VERY STRONG INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND ANY GAS LEAK ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE CAN'T BE SAFE. THANKS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED FUEL LEAKING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AROUND THE LOCATION OF THE FUEL TANK. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS FUEL LEAKING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE O-RING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

AIR BLEND ACTUATOR FAILED, MAKES TICKING NOISE WHEN CAR IS UNLOCKED AND/OR WHEN CHANGING INDSIDE/OUTSIDE AIR AND SOMETIMES DURING DRIVING AND/OR TEMPERATURE CHANGES OR HUMIDITY CHANGES IN THE AIR.

FAULTY DOOR LATCH THAT CAUSED DRIVER SIDE WINDOW TO OPEN AND CLOSE INTERMITTENTLY AND DRAIN THE BATTERY WHILE ENGINE WAS OFF.

THE WIRES/CONNECTOR FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR ARE LOCATED UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. HOWEVER, THE WIRES AND CONNECTION FITTING EASILY BECOME EITHER DISCONNECTED OR FOULED WITH GRIME (AS REPORTED BY THE DEALER) SO AS TO CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO TAKE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OFFLINE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND A PERSON IS SITTING IN THE SEAT, IT FLASHES THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH THAT THE AIRBAG IS NOT OPERABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AND BEEN REPAIRED AT LEAST TWICE BEFORE IF NOT THREE TIMES, AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON YET GAIN THIS MORNING. I HAVE HAD REPAIRS ON THIS SAME SYSTEM ALONE TWICE SINCE NOVEMBER 2015, AND HERE WE HAVE YET A THIRD FAILURE OF THE EXACT SAME SYSTEM, EXACT SAME PART, EXACT SOME COUPLER, WITHIN 6 OR 7 MONTHS. I ASKED LAST TIME THEY FIXED IT THAT THEY USE A HEAT GUN AND SHRINK WRAP ON THE FITTING TO PREVENT THIS HAPPENING AGAIN AND APPARENTLY THEY DID NOT. OF COURSE, DODGE SHOULD NOT HAVE DESIGNED A CRITICAL SAFETY COMPONENT IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS SIMPLE DUST OR GRIME TO GET INTO IT AND FOUL THE SYSTEM, RENDERING AN AIRBAG INOPERABLE. OH AND I HAVE LESS THAN 45,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE.

FROM THE TIME I START UP MY VEHICLE, UNTIL THE TIME I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS CHIMING AND TURNS ON AND OFF AND DOESN'T STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT THE DODGE SERVICE TECH WAS UNABLE TO SCAN THE VEHICLE WITH HIS DIAGNOSTIC TOOL DUE TO THE LIGHT NOT STAYING ON. I NOTICED A RECALL FOR CERTAIN 2011-2012 DODGE CHALLENGERS BUILT BETWEEN APRIL 11, 2011 THROUGH DECEMBER 14, 2011 REGARDING THE "SEAT WIRING HARNESS CONNECTORS" (RECALL #N07/ NHTSA 13V-118). I CONTACTED THE FCA RECALL CENTER FOR CHRYSLER/ DODGE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL BECAUSE MY CHALLENGER WAS BUILT ON MARCH 23, 2011. MY CHALLENGER WAS BUILT TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE "AFFECTED" BUILD DATES AND HAVE THE SAME EXACT CONNECTORS SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL NOTICE. WHY WOULDN'T MY VEHICLE'S SEAT WIRING HARNESS CONNECTORS BE CONSIDERED DEFECTIVE?? I WORK AS A FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AND AM CURRENTLY DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK TO DEFEND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FROM ANY AND ALL THREATS BUT IF I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT, I'M NOT SAFE IN MY OWN VEHICLE, WHICH WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE USA.

ALTERNATOR FAILED ON MY DRIVE HOME FROM WORK (MIX OF HIGHWAY AND CITY ROADS) AND ALSO DAMAGED THE BATTERY. REQUIRED TOW AND REPLACEMENT OF BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. IT'S NOT JUST THE 3.6 BECAUSE MINE IS A 5.7 AND I READ OTHERS HAD IT HAPPEN TOO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE RECALL WAS ACKNOWLEDGED, BUT NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE WALL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING FAILURES WITH THE STEREO. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON A BUSY CITY STREET HAD AN ALTERNATOR ISSUE ON DATE LISTED ABOVE IN MY 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER WITH ONLY 34,500 MILES. THE ABS, TRAC CONTROL, BATTERY SAVER, SEAT BELT AND OTHER DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AND OFF THEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT RESTART. BATTERY IS LESS THAN ONE WEEK OLD. AS I AM OUT OF WARRANTY, AND AWARE OF A RECALL ON ALTERNATORS IN CERTAIN 2011 CHRYSLER VEHICLES I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOOK AN INCIDENT REPORT AND CONCEDED TO ME THAT ALTHOUGH THE ALTERNATOR IS THE SAME MANUFACTURER, VOLTAGE, MODEL AND PART NUMBER THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE OPEN RECALL BECAUSE MY ENGINE IS THE V8 5.7 LITER AND NOT THE V6 MODEL. I AM WORRIED THE DEALER WILL ALSO FAIL TO HONOR THE RECALL AND NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS DESPITE THE FACT THAT I HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL MONTHS PRIOR AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK ON A LOUD WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I BELIEVE THAT NOISE WAS THE FAILING ALTERNATOR. THEY TOLD ME THE NOISE WAS A RESULT OF MY REMOVING THE PLASTIC ENGINE COVER THE CAR CAME WITH- WHAT NONSENSE. THE P60 RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO ALL 2011 DODGE CHALLENGERS USING THIS ALTERNATOR NOT JUST THE V6 MODELS.

I HAVE 39,000 MILES ON MY V-8 HEMI 5.7. THE CAR BEGAN MAKING A WHINING NOISE IN NOVEMBER 2015. DEALER FOUND NOTHING. HEADLIGHTS WOULD DIM AND WINDOWS BECAME SLUGGISH TO ROLL UP/DOWN. JANUARY 30, 2016 IT WOULDN'T START. THANK GOD IT WAS PARKED AT THE TIME BECAUSE EVERYTHING WENT DEAD AND IMMOBILE. I TOLD THE DEALER TO CHECK THE ALTERNATOR (I'M NOT A MECHANIC) AND THEY FOUND THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD. I'VE BEEN TOLD THERE IS A WEAK "CLUTCH" PLATE OR PULLEY IN THESE ALTERNATORS AND SOME ARE BEEFING THIS AREA UP ON THE REBUILTS BUT STILL ONLY GUARANTEE THEM FOR 3 YEARS. THE V-6 HAS A RECALL ON THE EXACT SAME ALTERNATOR AND I FEEL THE V-8 FOR THIS YEAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED. WITH LABOR THE DEALER WANTED 590.32 TO REPAIR AS IT WASN'T INCLUDED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH MOSS BROS. UNREAL! HOW CAN YOU RECALL AN EXACT SAME PART FOR ONE AND NOT THE OTHER?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE ALL THE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,666.

AFTER PURCHASING THE 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER IN DECEMBER 2015 THE CAR SEAT BELT SENOR HAS BEEN REPAIRED; NOW IN JANUARY 2016 THE AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATOR STAYS ON AFTER BEING IN MOTION FOR 15 MINUTES. HAS BOTH THE RECALLS BEEN PROPERLY REPAIRED?

MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER V8 HAS LESS THAN 45K MILES AND MY ALTERNATOR WENT OUT THIS WEEK, I DID RESEARCH TO FIND OUT THERE IS A RECALL BUT ONLY ON THE V6 ENGINE, NOT THE V8. THE V6 AND THE V8 MODELS HAVE THE SAME 160AMP ALTERNATOR,BOTH THE MODELS NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WAS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO TURN OVER AND START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO MAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE. THE DOOR LATCHES ALSO FAILED TO UNLOCK WITH THE KEY-LESS ENTRY EACH TIME THE CONTACT WAS NEAR THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT MANUALLY OPENED THE DOORS. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND WAS WAITING ON THE PART FROM THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENT. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT DUE TO THE CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF THE SMART GLASS SWITCH, THE BATTERY WAS DISCHARGED WHICH CAUSED THE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE TO CRANK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,633.

CAR IS MAKING A WINDING NOISE UNDER HOOD, SMELL STRANGE ODOR. CAR STALL WHEN I STOP BEED JUMP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS FUNCTIONING INDEPENDENTLY AND CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DRAIN. THE WINDOW HAD TO BE CRACKED IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE ENERGIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOTOR IN THE WINDOW NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR DURING MOIST WEATHER MOISTURE GETS IN WINDOW MECHANISM CAUSING WINDOWS TO MALFUNCTION BY CONTINUOUSLY GOING UP AND DOWN ABOUT A HALF AN INCH. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING UNTIL THE BATTERY DRAINS. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS PARKED. PUTTING WINDOWS DOWN DOES NOT HELP AND DEALERS ARE WANTING TO CHARGE $500 FOR A "BRAND NEW" ALREADY DEFUNCT SYSTEM.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW STARTED GOING UP & DOWN. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC & SAID IT WAS THE DOOR MODULE & SWITCH THEY BOTH GOT REPLACED & I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM PLUS IF CONNECTED IT KILLS THE BATTERY.

STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE , RESULTING IN POWER FAILURE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO A GAS STATION AND CALL AAA. AAA GAVE MY BATTERY A JUMP BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS DYING AND UNABLE TO RECHARGE BATTERY. LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A RECALL FOR 3.6L ENGINE FOR ALTERNATORS, BUT I HAVE A R/T V8 AND I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AS THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SOUNDS LIKE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. THE FAILURE PROGRESSED TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. SMOKE APPEARED NEAR THE FRONT END AND THE BATTERY HAD AN ELECTRICAL SHORT ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY AND THE BATTERY. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO SUPPLY THE PART TO RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE PART WOULD BE SENT TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT A WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION STICKS IN GEAR AND CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DOWNSHIFTED WHEN AND DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT POWER TO ACCELERATE WHEN NEEDED. THIS SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN VEHICLE IS FULLY WARMED UP. VEHICLE NOW HAVE 16,000 MILES ON IT.

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW KEEP GOING UP AND DOWN I HAVE TOOK IT TO THE SHOP ONE TIME BEFORE AND IT KEEP DOING IT COSTING ME MORE MONEY THE FIRST TIME IT KILLED MY BATTERY I HAVE TO LEAVE IT CRACKED SO IT WON'T RUN THE BATTERY DOWN AND BATTERY ARE NOT CHEAP OVER $200 THEN HAD TO PAY THE SHOP.NOW GOT TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP AGAIN.

THE CAR DIED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET LOSING ALL POWER AND FUNCTIONALITY. I RECIEVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR THE ALTERNATOR AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH, I AM ASSUMING THAT IS THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ODOR OF FUEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS A FRACTURE AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRACTURE RESULTED IN FUEL LEAKAGE AT THE FUEL PUMP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ALTERNATOR DIED SUDDENLY OUT OF THE BLUE WHILE DRIVING. A LOUD WHISTLING NOISE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE HOOD WHICH GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, AND THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. ONLINE THERE ARE REPORTS OF MANY ALTERNATORS DYING PREMATURELY IN THIS MODEL OF DODGE CHALLENGER.

DODGE CHALLENGER RT ALTERNATOR DRAINED BATTERY UNTIL THE CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS IN MOTION. LOST ALL POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING.

MY TANK HAS TO BE LEAKING BECAUSE I REMOVED MY BACK SEAT AND FOUND GAS. RECENTLY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF A CHL AND THE GAS SMELL AND THEY CLAIM THEY COULD NOT FIND THE LOCATION OF THE GAS SMELL. THEY TOLD ME I MAY NEED TO REPLACE THE CANISTER IN WHICH THEY WOULD GLADLY DO FOR $$$$. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND THE GAS WAS UNDER MY SEAT. I'M AFRAID FOR MY WIFE AND SON .

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND WAS WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT THE INTERSECTION. MY BATTERY APPEARED TO BE LOSING POWER AND I LOST MY POWER STEERING. I BELIEVE THE ALTERNATOR WENT BAD WHICH LED TO THE BATTERY DYING WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER. THIS WAS DANGEROUS AS I COULD HAVE LOST POWER AND MAY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC TO GET THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED. I SEE DODGE HAS SOME RECALLS ON ALTERNATORS BUT NOT SURE IF IT APPLIES TO MY VEHICLE

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT WOULD LOSE POWER. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I CAN NOT ALWAYS RESTART IT RIGHT AWAY. IT GOT TO THE POINT I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART IT AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), THE AUTO START BECAME INOPERABLE.

AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AND OFF, SIGNALING MY AIR BAGS ARE NOT WORKING WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. I FOUND ONLINE THAT CHRYSLER RECALLED 2011-2013 DODGE CHALLENGERS IN 2013 FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, HOWEVER WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR TO A DODGE DEALER, THEY SAY MY VIN IS NOT IN THE SYSTEM FOR A RECALL. BECAUSE IT'S NOT IN THE SYSTEM AS A RECALL, I AM TO PAY OUT OF POCKET? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE A FATALITY IF I AM IN A WRECK WHILE THE LIGHT IS ON. CHRYSLER SHOULD HONOR THEIR CONSUMERS' SAFETY AND HANDLE THIS BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. I FOUND ON FORUMS THAT MANY CHALLENGER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. SEE LINK BELOW TO RECALL INFO. HTTP://WWW.LEMONAUTO.COM/COMPLAINTS/DAIMLER_CHRYSLER/DODGE_CHALLENGER.HTM. *TR

MY WINDOW CONSTANTLY GOES UP AND DOWN 1/8TH INCH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND 80 2011 CHALLENGERS RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD ALL BE UNDER RECALL. THE SMART GLASS OPERATION IS FAULTY. EVERY 7 SECONDS MY WINDOW MOVES 1/8TH OF AN INCH UP OR DOWN. THIS DRAINS MY BATTERY AND MAKES MY CAR DIE. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION M24 SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL 2011 CHALLENGERS WITH THE SMART GLASS. *TR

MY ALTERNATOR IS IN RECALL. IT IS SAID TO POWER DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR NOTICE, AND IT POWERED DOWN ON ME IN JANUARY. IT WAS TOWED TO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP OF PARAMUS. THEY DID NOT YET HAVE THE RECALL ALTERNATOR, SO THEY WERE AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ME A NEW ONE. THIS HOWEVER DOES NOT SATISFY THE RECALL, AND I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK WHEN THE RECALL PART IS AVAILABLE. I CAME BACK LAST WEEK, AND THEY DID NOT PERFORM THE RECALL. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PART PUT INTO THE CAR IN JANUARY IS "JUST AS GOOD" AND "SATISFIES THE RECALL". I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING BY THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER, PARTS SUPERVISOR AND ULTIMATELY THEIR GENERAL MANAGER, DEAN REDMOND. EVENTUALLY, CHRYSLER CORPORATE FINALLY CONFIRMED THAT THIS IS NOT THE CASE, AND THE PART IN MY CAR IN FACT IS NOT AT ALL SAFE. FIVE SEPARATE "EXPERTS" AT THIS DEALERSHIP ERRONEOUSLY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR IS SAFE, AND LEFT ME WITH A POTENTIALLY DEADLY PART IN MY CAR. THE GENERAL MANAGER, DEAN REDMOND, WROTE BACK TO ME THAT THE PART IN MY CAR IS "CORRECT" AND THEN IGNORED MY SUBSEQUENT MESSAGES. I WOULD LIKE SOMEBODY TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE, BECAUSE THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON 4/17/15 IN MY 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER WHEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH STARTED FLASHING, THE RADIO WAS GOING ON AND OFF, THE LIGHTS WENT DIM, BUT THE SCARIEST THING WAS THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER, IT WAS STILL RUNNING BUT IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS ON 2 CYLINDERS, ALMOST GOT RAMMED BY THE CAR BEHIND ME!! HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER, WILL CALL THEM TOMORROW.THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FLAW IN THE SYSTEM AND WILL RESULT IN FUTURE LOSS OF LIFE IF NOT CORRECTED!!!! *TR

I HAVE 2 RECALLS PENDING ON MY DODGE CHALLENGER, ONE FOR FRONT AIRBAGS FAILING AND ONE FOR THE ALTERNATOR DIODES POSSIBLY CAUSING FIRE. DODGE WANTS TO TAKE MY CAR FOR 2 DAYS BUT I HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE. I ASKED HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO GET HOME, THEY SAID A BUS OR TAXI. I AM NOT TAKING A TAXI AN HOUR RIDE TO GET HOME, THEN TO AND FROM WORK BECAUSE THEY WANT TO RECALL MY CAR, SO I ASKED FOR A LOANER AND WAS TOLD NO. I KEEP CALLING THEIR RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER, AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEIR SYSTEM IS DOWN AND TO CALL BACK AT ANOTHER TIME. HOW IS THEIR SYSTEM ALWAYS DOWN? WHY DO I HAVE TO SPEND MONEY OUT OF POCKET ON A TEMPORARY VEHICLE SO THEY CAN FIX THEIR OWN RECALL? I CAN'T AFFORD TO RENT A CAR OR USE A TAXI (BUSSES DON'T RUN THROUGH MY AREA). SO I TAKE OFF OF WORK AND POSSIBLY GET FIRED, OR CONTINUE TO DRIVE A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY DIE? *TR

2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO THE ALTERNATOR RECALL NOTICE AND SEEKS REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER ATTACHED THE RECALL NOTICE. *JB

MY ALTERNATOR STOPPED WORKING APROX 8/3/14.THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE FROM DEALER OR AFTERMARKET SUPPLIERS AT THAT TIME. MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO HAVE ALTERNATOR REBUILT. THE REBUILDER SAID THE DIODES FAILED AND RUINED THE STATOR. THE REPAIR COST WAS ABOUT 645.00 DOLLARS. IN OCTOBER I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM CHRYSLER STATING A POSSIBLE DIODE FAILURE IN ALTERNATOR.THE LETTER ALSO STATES IF REPAIRS WERE MADE TO SUBMIT PAPERWORK FOR REIMBURSEMENT.I SUBMITTED PAPERWORK BUT WAS DECLINED REIMBURSEMENT. THE CUSTOMER CARE PERSON( [XXX]) COULD NOT GIVE ME A REASON WHY AND INSTRUCTED ME TO ASK LOCAL DEALER WHY I WAS DECLINED. I WENT TO HUNTER DODGE AND SPOKE TO A SERVICE WRITER([XXX]). HE SAYS IT SHOULD QUALIFY. HE TRIED TO FIND OUT WHY I WAS DECLINED BUT COULD NOT GET AN ANSWER EITHER.THE CUST. CARE PERSON TOLD ME THERE IS NO ONE ELSE I CAN TALK TO AND SHE COULD NOT HELP WITH THIS MATTER. I HAVE ALL EMAILS, PAPERWORK, RECEIPTS AVAILABLE.

MY WIFE AN I WERE ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED, RUNNING 70MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BLINKED AND ALL INSTRUMENTS WENT DOWN THE CAR SHUT DOWN, THERE WASN'T ANY ELECTRICAL TO ANYTHING. I GUESS BEING A MANUAL, IT STARTED BACK UP AUTOMATICALLY. THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS WHEN WE WERE ON OUR WAY HOME WE DECIDED TO TAKE A DIFFERENT WAY HOME BECAUSE THIS HAD HAPPENED, IT THEREFORE HAPPENED AGAIN SAME PROBLEM BUT WE WERE RUNNING 57. WE STOPPED AT A SONIC SHUT THE CAR OFF, WHEN WE STARTED IT BACK UP IT SOUND LIKE IT WAS STARTING OUT OF TIME, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO US AGAIN THE CLOSER WE GOT HOME. THE CAR IS PARKED AND HAS NOT BEEN MOVED. *TR

WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY MUSIC CUT OFF AND THEN MY BRAKE LIGHT AND OTHER LIGHTS SUCH AS THE ONES THAT COME ON WHEN YOU INITIALLY START THE CAR. THEY STAYED ON FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES OR SO THEN THE WHOLE DASHBOARD WENT OFF AND THEN THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHUTDOWN. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON MY 2011 CHALLENGER KEEPS COMING ON FOR NO REASON . I FOUND ON LINE THAT THEY WERE BEING RECALLED FOR FAULTY WIRING CONNECTERS ON THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE SEAT AIR BAGS . I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO WAIT FOR A RECALL NOTICE AND I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ONE . I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY TELL ME TO GET IT FIX AND PAY FOR IT MY SELF BECAUSE THE RECALL IS VIN SPECIFIC . IF THEY NO THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH FAULTY PARTS ,I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF IT NO CHARGE. *TR

JUST GOT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION INSTRUMENT PANEL ALL LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING THEN CAR SHUT DOWN COULD NOT STEER HAD NO HAZARD LIGHTS NOTHING IT IS PART OF A CHRYSLER RECALL WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IT WAS DARK MY CAR IS BLACK AND I HAD NO WAY OF LETTING TRAFFIC KNOW I WAS THERE IF I HAD A FLARE IN THE TRUNK I COULDN'T GET TO IT AS LATCH IS ELECTRICAL AND SO IT DIDN'T WORK. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO SAID HE COULDN'T HELP ME FOR WEEKS AND NO COURTESY CAR WAS AVAILABLE TO ME AND IF IT WAS A RECALL IT COLD NOT BE FIXED BECAUSE THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE RECALL YET THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO GIVE ME PRIORITY SERVICE AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE RECALL CENTER BUT I AM TO PAY ALL CHARGES AND THEN TRY TO GET REIMBURSED FROM CHRYSLER. THE CHRYSLER CARE CENTER SAID THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE NEW ALTERNATOR BUT NOT THE RENTAL OR DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE AND THAT THE SHUTDOWN COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, UNTIL THEY CAN COME UP WITH A FIX FOR THE ALTERNATOR ISSUE RECALL P60 THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE OF A FAULTY MANUFACTURED PART I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO INCUR ANY EXPENSE OR BE FORCED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE CAR I BOUGHT THE CAR IN GOOD FAITH AND I EXPECTED IT TO BE SAFE. MY CAR WAS NOT LOOKED AT TODAY AS PROMISED HOPEFULLY TOMORROW I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY CALL BACK FROM THE DEALER. I THINK ITS CRIMINAL THAT OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES ARE EXPECTED TO DRIVE THEM UNTIL THEY CAN GET TO FIXING THE PART HAD I BEEN ON THE FREEWAY IN 70 MPH TRAFFIC I DOUBT I WOULD BE HERE TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT. SEVERAL CARS AND SEMI TRUCKS CAME VERY CLOS TO HITTING MY CAR UNTIL A STATE TROOPER COULD GET THERE TO PROVIDE FLASHING LIGHTS WHILE WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK. I HAD NO WARNING THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE DEALER INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

IN EARLY OCTOBER 2014 I STARTED SMELLING GAS FUMES INSIDE MY VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY FUEL TANK HAD A FACTORY DEFECT WHERE THE FUEL PUMP LOCKING TABS WERE MOLDED INTO THE TANK. THE LEAK WAS AROUND THE SEAM WHERE ATTACHED. THIS IS DIRECTLY UNDER THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK WHERE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE BEEN HIT BY ANYTHING. THE TANK WAS LEAKING FUEL ON TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO FIRE. I APPROACHED DODGE ON MORE THAN 4 OCCASIONS TO RECOVER THE COST OF REPAIRS WHICH WERE $1,736.05. I HAVE BEEN REFUSED EACH TIME. THEY ARE AWARE THAT THE TANK IS DEFECTIVE AS I HAVE SENT DOCUMENTATION AND PICTURES TO SHOW THEM. I HAVE ASKED FOR THE NAME OF THE VENDER WHO MADE THE TANK AND HAVE BEEN REFUSED. THIS IS A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING! THE TANK IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. I NEED HELP TO RECOVER MY COST FOR SOMEONE'S FAULTY PRODUCT. I HAVE OWNED AUTOMOBILES FOR 48 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A FUEL TANK UNTIL NOW. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING BACK HOME WHEN I SUDDENLY SAW THE BATTERY LIGHT COME ON. AFTER A FEW SECONDS ALL LIGHTS IN DASH BOARD CAME ON. THEN THE STEERING WHEEL GOT STUCK/LOCKED AND COULDNT STEER LEFT OR RIGHT. THATS WHEN I WAS AFRAID I WOULD GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. BUT IM GLAD I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY SAFELY AND GOT MY CAR TOWED BACK HOME. A BAD SMELL WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE BAY AND SAW THE ALT. WAS PRETTY BURNT. I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST SHOP AND GOT MY ALT. REPLACED. NOW ITS JAN. 5 2015 AND THE BATTERY LIGHT STILL COMES ON OCCASIONALLY, I JUST HOPE THE CAR DOESNT SHUT DOWN ON ME AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE I KNOW THAT NEXT TIME I MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY AND GET INTO A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT. I JUST WANT THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND WISH DODGE CAN TAKE CARE OF THEIR ISSUES BEFORE IT GETS WORSE.

DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH, THE ABS AND TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON AT FIRST. ATTEMPTING TO GET HOME WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN EVERYTHING STARTED SHUTTING DOWN; FIRST THE RADIO THEN THE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH BEGAN TO BLINK AND THEN WENT OUT. THE VEHICLE THEN COMPLETELY DIED; WHEN I NOTICED THE ISSUES I SWITCHED THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL SO I COULD GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I THEN HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER SHIP THEN TOOK 5 DAYS TO REPAIR SAID VEHICLE AS THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED WAS ON "BACKORDER". DUE TO THE FACT IT IS "A 3 HOUR REPAIR" PER THE WARRANTY A RENTAL CAR WAS NOT COVERED AND I WAS WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR 5 DAYS. AND THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT, IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY; THANK GOD I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY ON THE INSIDE SHOULDER. I MADE A NORMAL LANE CHANGE TO AVOID GETTING T-BONED AND MY STEERING LOCKED UP CAUSING ME TO SPIN OUT AND HIT A GUARDRAIL. *TR

I NEARLY WAS KILLED TODAY GETTING OFF HIGHWAY I-10 WHEN MY ENTIRE CAR SHUT DOWN. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED ABS, ESP, BAS, TRACTION LIGHTING ALL CAME ON - POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK- COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITH NO RECOURSE FINALLY COASTED TO PARK IN THE GARAGE CLOSE BY ON A DOWNHILL EXIT. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO FIND AN EXIT TO THE PARKING LOT AND LITERALLY COASTED IN WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR ANY ELECTRICAL AND WAS AFRAID THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK TO EVEN STOP THE CAR. FORTUNATELY, IT COASTED AND STOPPED. PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED AN ALTERNATOR RECALL NOTICE FROM DODGE, BUT WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS VEHICLE. I HAD NO IDEA THAT MEANT MY ENTIRE CAR WOULD DIE ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO EVEN STEER. *JS

VEHICAL SHUT DOWN IN STAGES, WINDOWS-AIR CONDITIONER-RADIO-TRANSMISSION, THEN POWER STEERING. NO WARNING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED A BURNING ODOR AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE STALLED, BUT WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE, BUT WOULD NOT START THE NEXT MORNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED AN ALTERNATOR AND A BATTERY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

WHILE DRIVING HOME WITH MY 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER V6, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS (ABS,TRACTION CONTROL, AIRBAGS, ETC) CAME ON. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 60 MPH AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE CAR LOST POWER. STEERING LOCKED, I SOMEHOW STAYED ON THE ROAD AND SLOWED DOWN WITH THE BRAKE POWER I HAD LEFT AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. SINCE I WAS ON A TURN I KEPT GOING TO THE SHOULDER. FINALLY STOPPED AND THE WHOLE CAR JUST DIED. I READ ABOUT ALTERNATOR FAILURE IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. THIS SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THAT BUT, THE RECALL IS STILL 2 WEEKS AWAY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER/ DODGE DEALERSHIP. NOW SADDLED WITH A BILL FOR REPAIRS THAT I HOPE I CAN GET REIMBURSED FOR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN FOR TRAFFIC. AS I DID, MANY OF THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON INCLUDE ELECTRONIC STABILITY AND BRAKE. THEY WENT ON AND OFF AS A I SLOWED AND THEN SPEEDED UP SO THAT I COULD PULL OF THE ROAD. AS I TRIED TO PULL OFF THE CAR JUST DIED AND I LOST STEERING CONTROL. I COASTED INTO A SIDE PARKING LOT AND COULDN'T GO ANY FURTHER. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT'S THE ALTERNATOR. SO THERE IS A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR COMING IN THREE WEEKS. BUT IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE TO SHELL OUT $1,200 FOR AN ALTERNATOR AND NEW BATTERY AND HOPE THAT CHRYSLER FIXES THIS [XXX] UP AND DECIDES TO BOTHER ISSUING ME A REFUND. AND THEN ONCE THE RECALL - THAT EVERYONE HAS KNOWN IS COMING FOR TWO MONTHS - FINALLY DOES COME OUT, I HAVE TO HAVE THE [XXX] THING REPLACED AGAIN. AND HOPE THAT IN THE MEANTIME, CHRYSLER ACTUALLY FIGURES OUT HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM - WHICH IT SAYS IT DOESN'T CURRENTLY KNOW HOW TO DO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

I OWN A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER THAT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW OFF THE SHOW ROOM FLOOR IN THE LATTER PART OF 2011. I WAS LEAVING WORK ON THIS SUNDAY AND PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. WITHIN FIVE OR TEN MINUTES OF HAVING PULLED OFF MY CAR BEGAN A COMPLETE SHUT DOWN. THE WINDOWS WOULDN'T GO UP OR DOWN. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE RADIO AND LIGHTS ALL WENT BLACK. ALSO THE CAR CUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE I WAS DRIVING!!!! I NEARLY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. LUCKILY THE SURROUNDING DRIVERS WERE PAYING ATTENTION AND DID NOT HIT ME. IM MORTIFIED WITH THIS EXPERIENCE. MY CAR IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD AND I'M CURRENTLY PAYING A NEARLY $600 NOTE ON IT. IT'S SO UNACCEPTABLE AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, WHEN I CONTACTED DODGE, THE ONLY RECOURSE THEY ADVISED WAS TO CONTACT THE DEALER AND HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE AND APPLY FOR REIMBURSEMENT WHENEVER THE RECALL IS ANNOUNCED. WHEN I ASKED IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO HAVE A DEALER COME PICK UP THE CAR AS IT IS CURRENTLY INOPERABLE, THEY SAID THAT THE TOWING FEES WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY AS WELL & PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE REIMBURSED. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS BOTH TIMES I CALLED WERE OF LITTLE OR NO HELP AT ALL AND SEEMED GENUINELY UNCONCERNED THAT MY VEHICLE CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING!!! MY CALL TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS THE SAME. I HAVE HAD ALL MAINTENANCE FOR MY VEHICLE PERFORMED AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP FROM OIL CHANGES TO TIRE REPLACEMENT. I'VE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER & EVEN DONE REFERRALS FOR THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD WITH ANY CAR COMPANY AND I AM SO DISAPPOINTED. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE CHRYSLER BRAND. I NOTICED THE RECALL EVEN INCLUDES THE CARS THEY ARE CURRENTLY SELLING ON THE LOTS (2014 MODELS) SO PLEASE BEWARE AND WARN ANYONE YOU KNOW TO STAY AWAY FROM CHRYSLER & ITS PRODUCTS. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR SAFETY. *TR

DRIVING AT 40MPH AND ABS, ESP, AND BRAKE ASSIST LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND SEAT BELT LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTED FLICKERING THEN EVERYTHING BLACKED OUT AND THE CAR LOST POWER AND I HAD TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID COLLISION. *TR

2011 DODGE CHALLENGER - I WAS DRIVING AND THEN ALL THESE DIFFRENT LIGHTS STARTED TO FLAH ABS, ESP, AND BRAKE ASSIST. THEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND SEAT BELT LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. MY LOCKED UP I WASNT EVEN ABALE TO TURN THE WHEEL!! THEN THE CAR JUST SHUT DONE, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOUSE .(MORE MONEY SPENT) THIS WAS TWO DAYS AGO, THE SAME THING HAPPEND 03/2013 I HAD THE ALTERNATOR FIXED $800.00 THIS SHOULD NOT GO OUT AFTER 1 YEAR IN A 2011! THIS HAS TO BE A DEFFECT! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER DODGE! I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPAY TO GET THIS ALTERNATOR FIXED AGAIN THIS WILL BE THE 3RD ALTERNATOR IN 3 YEARS.. VERY UNHAPPY WITH DODGE> SO THEN I TOWED MY CARE 25MILES TO THE DEALER SHIP( $160.00) TO ADVISED ME ITS MY ALTERNATOR AND MY WARRANTY EXPIRED 03/2014 VERY UPSET AT THIS POINT AND $200 TO TELL WHAT I ALREADY NEW!!! I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANT'S WITH PAYING FOR THIS I WAS ADVISED TO WAIT FOR A RECALL! WHAT THE HELL VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!! I WILL NOW WRITE TO THERE CORPORATE OFFICE AT CHRYSLER GROUP CUSTOMER CARE PO. BOX 21-8004 AUBURN MICHIGAN 48321-8004! THIS TYPE OF BUSINESS PRACTICE IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

2011 DODGE CHALLENGER - DRIVING AT 40MPH AND ABS, ESP, AND BRAKE ASSIST LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND SEAT BELT LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTED FLICKERING THEN EVERYTHING BLACKED OUT AND THE CAR LOST POWER; HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED...AN $1,100 REPAIR JOB. AFTER-MARKET PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL SO IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE! (LUCKILY THE DEALERSHIP WAS WILLING TO WORK WITH ME AND OFFERED A "GOODWILL WARRANTY.") ULTIMATELY, IT'S A REPAIR THAT SHOULDN'T BE NEEDED ON A CAR THAT'S 3 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 50K MILES. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER; THIS MALFUNCTION PUTS DRIVERS IN SERIOUS DANGER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER AND THE ANTI SKID LIGHTS AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON AND I SMELLED SMOKE INSIDE THE CAR.THE CAR ALMOST QUIT RUNNING AND WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL UP,I HAD NO CONTROL OF ANYTHING IN THE CAR.READ ONLINE THE ALTERNATOR IN THE CULPRIT MY CAR WHINES REALLY BAD AND ANY DAY IM ASSUMING IT WILL QUIT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM.NOT COVERED ON ANY INSURANCE AND MOPAR WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT,HOW MANY COMPLAINTS OR DEATH DO THEY NEED TO HAVE A RECALL?CHRYSLER CORP SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES LETTING THIS GO ON LIKE IT HAS.UNHAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE. *TR

OVER THE PAST YEAR, I HAVE HAD MAJOR POWER/BATTERY ISSUES WITH MY CAR NOT STARTING AFTER SITTING OVER NIGHT. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS MY 2 YEAR OLD ALTERNATOR WHICH COST ME NEARLY $700 TO REPLACE. LESS THAN 4 MONTHS LATER, MYSTERIOUSLY MY BATTERY ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED, WHICH WAS ANOTHER $300 PLUS. A FEW WEEKS AGO, WHILE I WAS DRIVING, MY WINDOW STARTING GOING UP AND DOWN INTERMITTENTLY. I MENTIONED THIS TO MY SON, WHO HAD THE CAR WITH HIM DURING THE TIME OF ALL THE ISSUES, HE STATED THAT HE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT, AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE "SMART WINDOW" AND OFFERED TO REPAIR IT FOR SOME CRAZY AMOUNT OF MONEY. BUT NEVER DID THEY ALLUDE TO THE FACT THAT THE SMART WINDOW WAS THE CAUSE TO MY ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY FAILURE. MY NEW BATTERY WILL NO LONGER HOLD A CHARGE, AND I AM HAVING TO EITHER DISCONNECT IT EVERY NIGHT, OR JUMP START IT EVERY MORNING. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AFTER LEARNING THAT THERE ARE MANY CHRYSLER VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE, I WAS TOLD THAT MINE IS NOT ON THE LIST, BUT THAT I COULD TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP SPEND MORE MONEY ON DIAGNOSTICS AND THEY COULD REPAIR IT FOR ME! I AM A SINGLE MOM WHO GOT STUCK WITH THIS CAR IN A DIVORCE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH ALL OF THESE EXPENSIVE ISSUES WITH SUCH A YOUNG CAR.THIS IS POOR BUSINESS BY CHRYSLER, AND I WILL SURELY NOT BUY FROM THEM AGAIN! *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON 7/19/2014 AS NORMAL AND I NOTICED SEVERAL DRIVERS FROM OTHER CARS POINTING AT MY HOOD. THERE WERE NO DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS ON . I PULLED OVER AND THE CAR POWERED DOWN AND SMOKE STARTED BILLOWING THROUGH THE VENTS AND FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I RELEASED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THE ALTERNATOR SMOKING HEAVILY AND MELTING, I THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT TO CATCH FIRE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD 4 DAYS LATER THE ALTERNATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED, NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY; DUE TO IT BEING CONSIDERED AN ACCESSORY; WOULD COST 723.00 TO REPAIR. BEING THAT THE CAR ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT, I WAS VERY DISTURBED. MY CAR WAS READY IN ABOUT 4 DAYS WHICH I WENT AHEAD AND PAID FOR REPAIRS AS I NEED THE CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION AND EVEN AFTER I SAW THE COUNTLESS REPORTS OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS ON THE INTERNET AND WAS APPALLED THIS PART HAD NOT BEEN RECALLED. I FIGURED MOST CARS HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE MAJOR REPAIR SO I'M GOOD FOR AWHILE. WRONG! THE SAME WEEK THE CAR GOT OUT OF THE SHOP, I STARTED HEARING A CLICKING UNDER THE GEAR SHIFT AND THE ABS, ESP AND TRACTION CAME ON THE DASH. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING IT IN BUT IT ISN'T UNTIL A WEEK LATER. I WAS TOLD AS LONG AS THE LIGHT DOESN'T STEADILY REMAIN ON, I SHOULD BE FINE UNTIL MY APPOINTMENT DRIVING IT. TODAY I WAS RIDING ALONG ON A HIGHWAY AND THE CAR BEGIN TO LOSE POWER NOT ALLOWING ME TO ACCELERATE OR STEER, NOW THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT IS ON. DODGE REALLY NEEDS TO CONSIDER RECALLING THIS MODEL AS PROBLEMS START TO OCCUR AT 40,000 MILES FROM WHAT I HAVE READ AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES BECAUSE IT STALLS WITH THE INDICATOR LIGHTS FOLLOWING LEAVING CONSUMERS WITH THE INABILITY TO STEER OR GET OUT OF THE DANGERS OF INCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR

THERE IS A PAINT BOOTH ISSUE AT THE FACTORY IN ONTARIO CANADA. MY REDLINE 3 PEARLCOAT HAS BUMPS ALL OVER THE BODY PAINT JOB. ITS LIKE THE BOOTH WAS DIRTY AND IT EITHER GLOBBED OFF THE END OF A SPRAYER OR IT WAS REALLY DIRTY INSIDE BUT I DID NOT SEE IT UNTIL AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I PAID AN EXTRA $995 FOR THIS SO WTF OVER? ORANGE PEEL AND YOU NAME IT. DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A FACTORY PAINT JOB UNLESS IT WAS MONDAY OR FRIDAY I GUESS! I HATE THAT WHEN YOU CALL DODGE CORPORATE THEY COULD GIVE A RATS [XXX]! ONE LADY SAID "WE DON'T CARE WE DON'T SELL THE VEHICLES WE JUST MAKE THEM" I SAID SERIOUSLY SO YOU MAKE A PRODUCT BUT DON'T STAND BEHIND IT [XXX]! NONE OF THEM CARE, EVEN AFTER DROPPING $50K SO YEAH.

ALTERNATOR STARTED WHINING AND GOT EXTREMELY HOT AND STARTED SMOKING AND FAILED WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SMOKE APPEARED FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

I WAS TRAVELING IN THE CENTER LANE OF THE HWY,GOING APPROX 60 MPH WHEN THE CAR IN THE LEFT LANE A RED CHEVY IMPALA SIDESWIPED A SUV BEHIND ME, AT THAT TIME THE RED CHEVY LOST CONTROL OF HIS CAR AND HIT ME IN THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR QUARTER PANEL, THAT SPUN MY CAR, I THEN HIT THE GUARD RAIL WENT BACK ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC HIT THE CAR THAT HIT ME AND STOPPED NEAR THE SHOULDER OF THE HWY.NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, MY WIFE'S HEAD SMACKED THE PASSENGER WINDOW AND ENDED UP WITH A MAJOR CONCUSSION,AND OTHER INJURIES. *TR

MY FIANCE AND I WERE LEAVING A STORE WHEN ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR STARTED FLASHING AND THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A WEIRD HUMMING SOUND AND THEN THE CAR DIED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN! I HAD TO PAY A TOW TRUCK TO COME OUT AND PICK IT UP AND TAKE IT IN TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. WAS WITHOUT MY CAR FOR ALMOST A MONTH BECAUSE I HAD TO SLOWLY PAY THE DEALERSHIP $600 THAT I DID NOT HAVE. THEN THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T EVEN MENTION THE BATTERY WAS PROBABLY GONNA DIE SO A WEEK LATER AFTER I FINALLY GOT MY CAR BACK, I GO OUT AND IT WON'T START AGAIN! SO THEN I HAD TO SPEND ALMOST ANOTHER $200 ON A BRAND NEW BATTERY. I AM JUST COMPLETELY OFFENDED THAT THIS A HUGE AND MASSIVELY COMMON PROBLEM AND DODGE HASN'T EVEN TRIED TO FIX IT! I LOVE MY CHALLENGER BUT I WAS SO EXASPERATED WITH ALL THE BS THAT I WAS READY TO TAKE IT BACK TO WHERE I BOUGHT IT A YEAR AGO AND GIVE IT BACK. DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND COMPENSATE ALL OF US WHO HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS MESS! LUCKILY FOR THEM THEREHAVEN'T BEEN ANY FATALITIES CONNECTED WITH THIS PROBLEM! *TR

ON MAY 30TH I WAS HEADING HOME AFTER A LOG DAYS WORK WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE BATTERY LIGHT HAD TURNED ON, THINKING IT WAS JUST THE BATTERY NEEDING TO BE RECHARGED I KEPT DRIVING. MINUTES AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE(MIL), BRAKE (PARKING BRAKE?), ABS, ESP BAS, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!? I LOSE MY ABILITY TO STEER AND BRAKE MY VEHICLE GOING 60 ON THE HIGHWAY! LUCKILY I LIVED 8MIN AWAY FROM MY PLACE AT THE TIME AND MANAGED TO GET TO MY HOME WITH NO POWER STEERING ON BRAKING ABILITY! SO I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND BOUGHT MYSELF A BATTERY BECAUSE IT WAS TESTED AS A BAD BATTERY IT WAS INSTALLED ON MY CAR & IT TURNED ON AS NORMAL, UNTIL I ACTUALLY DROVE MY CAR TO SCHOOL THE FOLLOWING MORNING, SET IT ON PARK & SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF MY ALTERNATOR. KNOWING HOW MUCH A ALTERNATOR FOR MY CAR COSTS I SAVED ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY A AFTERMARKET ALTERNATOR SO I WENT TO AUTOZONE TO BUY ONE AND THE GENTLEMEN TOLD ME THAT IT GIVES HIM THE OPTION TO ORDER ONE BUT WHEN HE DOES THEY DON'T HAVE ANY BECAUSE SINCE THE CAR IS NEW THE ONLY I COULD GET IS THE MANUFACTURED ALTERNATOR WHICH THEY SELL FOR $545 AND ARE ON BACK ORDER!? REALLY DODGE REALLY? IT TOOK ME A MONTH TO SET ASIDE MONEY FOR WHAT I THOUGHT I COULD BUY A ALTERNATOR AND COME TO FIND OUT YOU'RE THE ONLY ONES THAT SELL IT, SHAME ON YOU GUYS! I'M FATHER A HARD WORKER AND A STUDENT AT UTI AND YOU GUYS DON'T ALLOW ANYONE TO SELL YOUR ALTERNATORS. DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE BEING THAT YOU'RE ON BACK ORDER. THIS COULD'VE ENDED WAY WORSE WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. IF YOU'RE READING THIS AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, PLEASE SUBMIT A COMPLAINT AS THEY WILL EVENTUALLY SEE A TREND ABOUT THIS AND HOPEFULLY RECALL THESE BAD ALTERNATORS THAT DENSO MANUFACTURES. *TR

PROBLEM IDENTICAL TO PRIOR CUSTOMER COMPLAINT WITH ALL INTERNAL LIGHTS AND GAUGES BLINKING. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, ENGINE STARTED RACING, SMELLED RUBBER, SPEEDOMETER RACING. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND THE LIGHT SHOW CONTINUED. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR CUT OFF AND NEVER STARTED AGAIN. HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO PICK IT UP AND TAKE TO REPAIR SHOP. REPAIRMAN EXACT WORDS WERE "THE ALTERNATOR IS FRIED AND IT DESTROYED YOUR BATTERY". AFTER A NEW BATTERY WAS PUT IN THE CAR, THE ALTERNATOR STARTED SMOKING. BATTERY/INSTALLATION $250, ALTERNATER/INSTALLATION $750. COULD ONLY GET ALTERNATOR FROM DODGE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THE CAR WAS TOO NEW FOR AN AFTERMARKET ALTERNATOR.... AND WAS ON BACK ORDER. I MAY NOT BE THE SMARTEST SPERSON IN THE WORLD, BUT DOESN'T IT SEEM THAT THERE ARE SOME MAJOR ISSUES GOING ON IF THE SUPPOSEDLY NEW ALTERNATOR IS ON BACKORDER. HAD MY SON AND I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AND THE CAR CUT OFF, THIS STORY MAY HAVE HAD A DIFFERENT ENDING. I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT DODGE IS NOT WAITING FOR SOMEONE OR SOME FAMILY TO LOSE THEIR LIFE BEFORE MAKING THIS A SAFER VEHICLE. THIS NOT ONLY PUTS DODGE CHALLENGER OWNERS AT RISK, BUT THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL. *JS

WIFE WAS DRIVING INTO TOWN FROM HER SISTERS HOUSE AND NOTICED ABS, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND OTHER LIGHTS BEGIN TO COME ON WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. SHE BEGAN TO NOTICE A BURNING SMELL AT AROUND 40 MPH JUST BEFORE GETTING INTO TOWN. WHEN SHE PARKED THE CAR AT WALMART SHE NOTICED ALL THE LIGHTS FLASHING LIKE A CASINO AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. SHE CALLED ME TO COME GET HER WHILE SHE WAS IN THE STORE SO I WENT AND GOT HER KEYS, GAVE HER MY TRUCK TO DRIVE BACK TO HER SISTERS, AND WENT TO HER VEHICLE WHICH STARTED UP WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TURN IT ON. AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR HOME I NOTICED A WINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE BUT THAT WAS THE ONLY THING I EXPERIENCED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THE NEXT DAY I HAD MY FATHER COME BY SO WE COULD TAKE HIS TRUCK WITH US IN CASE IT MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN. AS MY FATHER WAS DRIVING THE CAR INTO TOWN TO AN AUTO PART STORE THE CASINO LIGHT SHOW STARTED UP AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY DIED WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH SO HE HAD TO COAST IT DANGEROUSLY INTO A GAS STATION PARKING LOT, THANKFULLY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 70 WITH 18 WHEELERS AROUND. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED TO DODGE DEALERSHIP DOWN THE ROAD AND THEY SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR NEEDED REPLACED WHICH IS GOING TO COST AROUND $900. THIS HAS ANGERED ME ALL DAY THAT THEY KNEW THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON THIS. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY INJURE OR KILL SOMEONE BECAUSE IT SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING AND NOT EVERYONE CAN CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 59,000 MILES. WE WONT BE BUYING ANYTHING FROM CHRYSLER OR DODGE FROM THIS DAY FORWARD. *TR

THE FIRST TIME MY 11 DODGE CHALLENGER MESSED UP WAS JANUARY 2014. WENT TO START IT AND IT WOULDN'T. GOT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP-WAS TOLD THE DOOR HANDLED SHORTED OUT. 2ND TIME WAS IN APRIL 2014 I SMELT BURNING RUBBER TURNED MY CAR OFF AND THEN IT WOULD NOT START AND WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN. GOT TOWED- WAS TOLD BAD BATTERY. NOW THE 3RD TIME JUNE 2014 I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH THE INSIDE OF MY CAR LOOKED LIKE A CASINO SLOT MACHINE WITH ALL THE LIGHTS AND SOUNDS GOING OFF! EVERY LIGHT ON MY DASH FLASHED OVER AND OVER! MY SEATBELT LIGHT SAID I DIDN'T HAVE MY SEAT BELT ON WHEN I DID! THEN MY SEAT WARMER CAME ON AND WAS HOT AS FIRE, THEN I DID HAVE TO UNBUCKLE SO I DID NOT GET BURNED! RADIO WAS FLASHING ON AND OFF. HOT AIR CAME POURING IN THROUGH MY VENTS. I LITERALLY THOUGHT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE! MY GAS NEEDLE KEPT JUMPING FROM FULL TO EMPTY! CAR STALLED 2 TIMES BEFORE MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I HAD TO RUN UP INTO MY PARENTS NEIGHBORS YARD!! AFTER CAR DIED MY GAS NEEDLED STAYED AT F AS IF IT WERE ON, AND MY TEMP NEEDLE STAYED BETWEEN COLD/HOT AS IF THE CAR WERE RUNNING. I COULD NOT OPEN MY TRUNK. MY TRUNK LIGHT ON TAIL END WAS FLASHING ON AND OFF. OF COURSE TOWED AGAIN AND NOW THEY SAY IT IS THE ALTERNATOR! IT HAS BEEN 6 DAYS AND I STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN MY CAR BACK! SAYS IT SHOULD BE IN TOMORROW AND IT IS NO BIGGIE TO PUTTING IT ON. BUT YET WHEN I WAS THERE 5 DAYS AGO HE SAYS CHALLENGERS GO THROUGH ALTERNATORS A LOT THAT'S WHY AUTO ZONE AND DODGE STOCK UP ON THEM, BUT YET I AM HAVING TO WAIT FOR ONE TO COME IN?? BS AS OF TODAY MY CAR HAS 32,200 MILES ON IT! *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, VEHICLE'S ENGINE FAILED AND ALL SYSTEMS WENT DEAD. LUCKILY I HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY AND INTO A SAFE AREA. AFTER BEING TESTED BY MECHANIC, HE SAID THE EDM HAD A STORED FAULT WITH THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR HOWEVER NO CURRENT FAULTS. CAMSHAFT SENSOR WAS STILL REPLACED AND CAR WOULD STILL NOT TURN ON. MECHANIC TOLD ME HE READ SEVERAL STORIES OF ALL WIRE HARNESSES BEING REPLACED AND EVEN EDM BEING REPLACED HOWEVER PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES TO PERSIST. *TR

I WAS RETURNING TO WORK FROM LUNCH AND I WAS DRIVING SOUTH IN THE COMPANY PARKING LOT GOING NO FASTER THAN 5-10 MPH. I STARTED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING SPACE SO THAT I COULD BACK INTO THE PARKING SPACE DIRECTLY BEHIND IT. AS I STARTED TO MAKE THE TURN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND PLACED IT ON THE BRAKE SO I COULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE I BACKED UP INTO THE SPACE BEHIND ME. AS I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND BECAUSE I HAD NO TIME TO REACT THE CAR PLOWED THROUGH A TREE, SOME HEAVY VEGETATION AND DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR, AS A RESULT OF THE IMPACT WITH THE TREE, WHICH CAUSED THE ENTIRE BUMPER TO FALL OFF AND DESTROYED. YET, THE AIRBAGS, WHICH WERE RECALLED AND ALREADY "SERVICED" ONCE BEFORE, NEVER DEPLOYED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45MPH ABS, EAP/BAS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. PARKED CAR AND WOULD NOT START. NO POWER. TOWED TO DODGE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER 2 DAYS REPORTED NEEDED NEW BATTERY AFTER OLD BATTERY WOULD NOT KEEP CHARGE. ONE DAY AFTER GOT VEHICLE FROM DEALER, DROVE VEHICLE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, DROVE TO DEALER SERVICE TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND TURNED ON AGAIN BUT LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. TECH CHECKED BATTERY CONNECTION, WAS OK AND TRIED TO DRIVE HOME. DROVE VEHICLE 3 MILES BATTERY LIGHT, ABS, EAP/BAS AND TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN, IDLED ROUGH THEN DASH WENT DARK AND CAR KILLED, STEERING LOCKED. GOT RELATIVE TO PUT ANOTHER BATTERY IN TO DRIVE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP. IS THERE NOW AWAITING DIAGNOSIS BUT ALL THINGS POINT TO BAD ALTERNATOR. VEHICLE 3WEEKS OUT OF WARRANTY WITH 31000 MILES. THE CHARGER HAS HAD ISSUES WITH ALTERNATOR & HAVE SEEN A FEW CHALLENGERS COMPLAINT ON OTHER SITES. I DID LIKE MY CAR BUT THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITH ALTERNATORS, ONLY 31000 MILES AND GONE BAD. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2011 CHALLENGER SRT 8 USED WITH JUST OVER 13,000 MILES. I DID A VIN CHECK AND FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK THE REAR END SOUNDED RIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED REAR AXLE DAMPENERS UNDER TSB 01-005-12. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR FOR 30 DAYS AND WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK IT SOUNDED ABOUT THE SAME. I CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE WAS VOIDED. THE MONTH BEFORE THERE WAS NO ISSUES WITH THE WARRANTY. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY HAD A HARD TIME FINDING OUT WHY THERE WAS A WARRANTY ISSUE. THEY WOULD LATER CALL ME AND STATE THAT ONLY THE REAR AXLE WAS VOIDED BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN REPLACED 2 OTHER TIMES. I ASKED TO HAVE SOMETHING PUT IN WRITING ON THIS AND WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT PUT THINGS LIKE THIS IN WRITING. I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WAS UNDER WARRANT AND WHAT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WHY. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE TOOK ANOTHER MONTH TO COME UP WITH SOME TYPE OF AN ANSWER. THIS WAS AFTER THEY REPEATEDLY CALLED ME AND ASKED WHAT DEALERSHIPS I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TOO BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT FIND RECORDS OF WHICH DEALERSHIP DID THE VOID ON THE WARRANTY. I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE DRIVELINE WARRANTY WAS VOIDED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION SINK GEARS WERE WORN BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES WITH THE REAR AXLE. MY CAR NOW HAS 29,000 MILE AND NEEDS A NEW REAR AXLE AND MAJOR TRANSMISSION WORK. ALL THIS WITH NO WARRANTY AND NO PROOF OF WHY THERE IS NO WARRANTY. *TR

NUMEROUS LIGHTS WENT OFF IN MY VEHICLE AFTER THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE MUSIC TO MY STEREO SUDDENLY CUT OF AND BACK ON WITHIN SECONDS. ALL OF THIS WITHOUT WARNING. NOW THE CAR FAILS TO START BACK UP. I'VE TAKEN IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD ALTERNATOR. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO ALTERNATORS AVAILABLE ANYWHERE FOR A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER 3.6 AND SURE ENOUGH I CAN'T FIND ANY MYSELF ONLINE. HOW CAN A PART SO IMPORTANT BE ON BACK-ORDER WITH CHRYSLER AND NOT TO MENTION WORTH $500 AND OVER $200 IN LABOR WHEN ALL IT HAS ARE TWO BOLTS FOR ATTACHMENT. I'M SO CONFUSED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INTERMENTLY, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED, IT STALLED, AND THE IGNITION SWITCH LOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

THE BATTERY, ENGINE, ABS, AIRBAG AND OTHER LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY. THE NEXT DAY SOMETHING KILLED THE NEW BATTERY. THE CAR STALLED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE NO HELP. I TOLD THEM OF THE RECALL ON THE 2013 CHALLENGERS FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. THEY STATED MINE WAS NOT RECALLED. THIS REPAIR COST ME OVER $1200 OUT OF POCKET. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. A DODGE VEHICLE TO ANYONE. BAD ALTERNATOR , WIRE HARNESS AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. TERRIBLE CAR AND SERVICE. CHRYSLER WAS NO HELP AT ALL. AS I HAVE SEARCHED, THERE ARE NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS/COMPLAINTS WITH THE 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER/ CHARGERS. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THOSE. *JB

ON THE DATE STATED ABOVE, WHILE OPERATING MY VEHICLE THE ENGINE, ABS, AIRBAG, AND OTHER LIGHTS BEGIN TO FLASH AND BEEP AND THE ENGINE STALLED AND CUT OFF IN MID TRAFFIC. I ATTEMPTED TO JUMP MY BATTERY OFF, BUT TO NO AVAIL. I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY AND AFTER DRIVING APPROX. 15 MILES AND CUT THE ENGINE OFF AND IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO RESTART BUT IT FAILED AND AFTER ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON THE HEAD LIGHT, OPEN THE TRUNK AND LET THE WINDOWS UP, I CONCLUDED THAT THE NEW BATTERY WAS NOW DEAD. DODGE HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEMS OR RECALLS FOR THE ALTERNATOR AND I AM OUTSIDE OF THE FACTORY WARRANTY. I AM VERY SUSPECT THAT DODGE KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE NORMAL AUTOPART STORES AND THE PRICE THROUGH DEALERSHIPS AND UPWARDS OF $500 FOR THE PART AND $300 FOR LABOR FOR A PARTTHAT SHOULD NOT FAIL THIS SOON. *TR

I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER ON 5/10/2013 STATING "THE FRONT SEAT AIRBAG WIRING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS ON YOUR VEHICLE MAY HAVE AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. IF AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION EXISTS DURING SIDE IMPACT, THE FRONT SEAT AIRBAG LOCATED AT THE OUTBOARD SIDE OF THE SEATBACK MAY NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED. THIS COULD CAUSE ADDITIONAL INJURY TO FRONT SEAT OCCUPANTS DURING A SIDE IMPACT COLLISION." I'VE SPOKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THE PART NEEDED TO CORRECT THIS IS ON BACKORDER. IF I WERE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE FRONT PASSENGER GETS INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM NOT BEING CORRECTED COULD I SUE CHRYSLER FOR A GAZILLION DOLLARS? I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER PRODUCT FROM THEM. THIS IS BEYOND LUDICROUS TO WAIT THIS LONG. I COULD HAVE BUILT THIS ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR 100 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER FIRST REPLACED THE BATTERY, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE DEALER THEN DETERMINED THAT THE ALTERNATOR EXHIBITED A SHORTAGE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 39,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE AND DRAINING THE BATTERY. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS SCHEDULED TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ACCELERATING TO APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH AND RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD REMAIN TRAVELING AT THAT SPEED AND WOULD NOT DECELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 25,300 UPDATED 03/26/13*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION'S FAILURE TO SHIFT AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE TIMING CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO MAINTAIN ITS SPEED ON ITS OWN POWER. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED THREE TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND IT OCCURRED AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. UPDATED 03/27/13

STARTED AT ABOUT TWO TO THREE MONTHS WHILE STOPPED TO MAKE TURN, THE COMPUTER RESET. IT NOTED TIRE PRESSURE LOW AND AIR BAG LIGHT. THIS COMPUTER PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST SIX TO EIGHT TIMES. ALSO, AT LEAST SIX TO EIGHT TIMES, THE CAR WILL NOT DETECT KEY FOB AND THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER NEW BATTERIES IN KEY FOBS WITH NEW BATTERIES. CAR ALSO DIED WHILE STOPPED AT LIGHT AND WHEN RE-STARTED IT ONLY HAD HALF THE POWER. I 'LIMPED' IT HOME TO AVOID GETTING STRANDED. WHEN RE-STARTED IT WAS ALRIGHT, BUT I CONTINUE TO HAVE COMPUTER AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. AFTER THE CAR STALLED, IT WOULD FLASH THE LIGHTS NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN THE KEY FOB WAS NEAR THE CAR IN MY POCKET OF SWEAT PANTS WITH NOTHING ELSE IN MY POCKET AND NOTHING PUSHING THE KEY FOB. PROBLEMS INCREASING OVER TIME AND I NOTICED CHALLENGER HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR KEY FOB AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I JUST TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A RECALL REGARDING THE OUTSIDE DOOR SENSOR KEYLESS ENTRY. CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALER ABOUT THREE TIMES FOR THESE ELECTRICAL RELATED PROBLEMS. THE FIRST TIME THEY RE-SET THE COMPUTER. THE SECOND TIME THE DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE THE 'KEY FOB NOT DETECTED' ISSUE. THIS TIME IT HAD THE KEYLESS ENTRY PROBLEM AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO EVEN WRITE DOWN THAT THE CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC WHICH WAS ON A STATE HIGHWAY. *TR

ON JULY 12, 2012 WHILE DETAILING THE INSIDE OF MY CAR IN ORDER TO REACH SOME AREAS THAT I COULD NOT REACH THROUGH THE TRUNK I WAS PUSHED THE FRONT SEATS FORWARD SO THE REAR SEATS WOULD DROP DOWN BY DESIGN AND WAS IN AN ODD POSITION TO START WITH, AND HAD THE SEAT BELTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE REAR PUSHED OUT OF THE WAY. WHILE WORKING ON THE DETAILING THEY SLIPPED AND MANAGED TO WRAP ME UP AROUND MY CHEST AND NECK (IT HAPPENED SO FAST I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY). AS I STRUGGLED TO FREE MYSELF THEY REFUSED TO RELAX AND CONTINUED TO TIGHTEN UP NO MATTER HOW MUCH (WHAT LITTLE SLACK I HAD TO GIVE) SO THAT I COULD PULL THEM BACK OUT. I REPORTED THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT TO THE SAME LEVEL WITH MY 2007 DODGE RAM FRONT BELTS, AND DODGE DID NOT TAKE ACTION. IN ORDER TO FREE MYSELF I HAD TO USE A POCKET KNIFE THAT I HAD IN MY POCKET THAT AFTER SOME SLIGHT RELAXING I WAS ABLE TO REACH TO CUT THE BELTS AND FREE MYSELF. CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THIS, AND DENIED MY WARRANTY BECAUSE I CUT THE SEAT BELTS TO FREE MYSELF. I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THIS LOGIC AS IT WAS MY ONLY CHOICE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOTHING NEW TO DODGE AND HAS BEEN DISCUSSED ON NUMEROUS CHRYSLER PRODUCT RELATED FORUMS ON THE INTERNET, ALL OF WHICH WHEN THEY WERE CONTACTED THEY REFUSED TO ACT ON THE MATTERS. A SEAT BELT SHOULD ONLY LOCKUP WHEN A HARD FORWARD MOTION STOP IS MADE, NOT IN A STATIONARY SETTING AS IT DID IN MY CHALLENGER TRAPPING ME. *TR

BOUGHT CAR USED. AFTER 3 DAYS OF HAVING IT THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, AND WILL NOT GO OUT. TOOK CAR TO DEALER THEY SAY IT IS IN THE HARNESS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. THEY ARE TRYING TO GET THE CORRECT HARNESS SO FAR 2 WHERE SHIPPED TO THEM AND THEY WERE THE WRONG ONE. THEY REALLY DON;T HAVE A ANSWER. ACCORDING TO DEALER ALOT OF CHALLENGERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT ON THE INTERNET. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR DODGE. *TR

MY 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER WAS IN A HEAD ON ACCIDENT. THE IMPACT PUSH THE MOTOR UNDER THE DASH, CRACKED THE TRANSMISSION, CRUMBLED THE FRONT OF THE CAR ALMOST TO THE WINDSHIELD. THE CHALLENGER HAS AN AIR BAG ON THE SEAT, WELL THAT AIR BAG; NOR THE AIR BAG ON THE WINDSHIELD PILLAR OR THE STEERING WHEEL OR PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOY. NOT ONLY DID THE AIR BAGS FAIL, BUT THE SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK TO RESTRAIN A PERSON FROM AVOIDING INJURY. THIS IS MY SECOND CHALLENGER, MY FIRST CHALLENGER HAD A BAD PAINT JOB AND THIS ONE COULD OF COST ME MY LIFE. I HAVE THE VEHICLE, AWAITING FOR DODGE TO INSPECTION THE DEFECTS. IT HAS BEEN 5 DAYS AND I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM DODGE NOR ARE MY CALLS BEING RETURNED. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WERE AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN. IT IS THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT DEPLOY AIRBAG. THIS CAN BE TURNED OFF BY WIGGLING A WIRE AND CONNECTOR UNDER THE REAR OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE LIGHT AND DISABLING OF THE AIRBAG HAPPEN AT RANDOM TIMES AND ANY TIME YOU INCREASE SPEED QUICKLY (IE. FREEWAY ON RAMPS). THIS IS AGAIN REMEDIED BY A GIGGLING THE WIRES AND CONNECTOR BEHIND AND UNDER THE DRIVER. I CAN DISABLE THE AIRBAG ANYTIME BY WIGGLING THE WIRE UNDER THE SEAT, IF DRIVING PRIOR TO THE INDICATOR COMING ON. I WILL TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ALTHOUGH SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN THEIR MANY ATTEMPTS. THE PROBLEM IS ALSO BEING REPORTED ON LINE BY OWNERS OF NEW 2012 MODELS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE FROM UNDER THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CONTACTED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACT WHO SENT AN ENGINEER TO FURTHER INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED TOTALED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 500. UPDATED 03/06/12*LJ UPDATED 03/16/12

I DRIVE A 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT-8. IT HAS ONLY 300 MILES ON IT. I WAS DRIVING IT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN OFF THE EXIT. SUDDENLY THE VEHICLES ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL POWER ALL SHUTDOWN. LUCKILY THE CAR BEHIND ME SWERVED OUT OF THE WAY OR WE BOTH SURELY WOULD OF DIED. I COULD NOT EVEN PULL OVER. ONCE I PUT IT IN PARK I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. I CHECKED ONLINE AND SEVERAL WEBSITES LIST THIS VERY SAME COMPLAINT. THE DEALER SAID THEY ARE "UNAWARE" OF THE ISSUE AND CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. DODGE DOES NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE FOR ANYBODY. THIS IS SCARY AS [XXX] AND WILL GET SOMEONE KILLED. PLEASE HELP.
