2011 Dodge Charger 4 DR RWD

My son was coming home from BMW in Greer to gaffney .So he was driving down interstate that morning and it was very busy the car started to act up wouldn't go in gear he said it got worst couldn't get over and started praying cause the car started to slow down wouldn't go in gear.This is my Sun shine that was shot in Oct 102019 and graduate this year.My boy was so scare he call home to tell me hw love me.Now it's gonna cost $3.000 to fix that i don't have and he's gonna lose his job .im a so how mom I went to dodge place in Spartanburg I asked recalls i keep getting in mail and the gentlemen was rude..My son called home to ask me what does he do so here we are both scare I had to calm him down and talk him through just hearing my voice he said got him off interstate 85.Car is in shop now

Front headlights go out randomly as the vehicle warms up. Appears to be related to the 2011/2012 headlamp recall 12V-042 but my vehicle is not coming up on the notification list. Loss of headlights decreases ability to see and increases the risk of an accident. No dash messages, no computer messages. Lamps work when initially turned on so vehicle hasn't failed any safety inspections. All obvious checks provide no possible reason for this issue.

I was involved in a fender bender on the highway and my airbag was deployed but the one at my feet came out so hard I think it that it projected something into my leg I assumed it was part of the takata airbag recall but now I've gone online and seen that my vehicle is not included in that recall and I'd like to know why because I really feel like these airbags injured me.

The radiator fan blade broke off and hit the alternator creating a hole in it. The alternator lost all fluid and the car overheated. This happened on 2 different occasions before it became obvious that the radiator fan was the culprit and not the radiator itself. This is a safety issue because no dash lights were illuminated and the car could have severely overheated on the highway if it wasn't noticed. Mechanic inspected it and saw the fan blade caught in the hood.

My vehicle has the symptoms listed in NHSTA 12V-042. The dealership would not complete the recall due to my VIN number not being included or my manufacture date not matching the dates. They directed me to email the NHSTA to get this resolved

MY CAR FRONT HALOGEN LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT IN MOTION OR SITTING STILL ON ANY TYPE OF STREET. I HAVE TO TURN THEM OFF WAIT A MINUTE AND THEN TURN THEM BACK ON. WE HAVE SPENT THOUSAND OF DOLLARS AT THE DODGE HOUSE TO GET THIS FIXED AND THEY HAVE STATED THERE IS NOT RECALL IN PLACE AT THIS TIME. WE HAVE TO RUN THE FOG LIGHTS AT NIGHT JUST TO KEEP FROM WRECKING. THEY ASK ON ONE OF THE QUESTION, WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN. ITS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR. THE BLIND SPOT WARNING IS WORKING EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE ALSO.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND FORWARD CRASH WARNING AND ABS BRAKING ALONG WITH ADAPTIVE ELECTRIC EYE FAILURE. IN MOTION FAILURE. ADAPTIVE EYE REPLACED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO FAILED AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL AND POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE AVOID A CRASH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE INTO SERVICE STATION AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JIM SNATCHER MOTORS (511 CALHOUN STREET, JOHNSON, SC, 29832, (803) 275-2576) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE REPAIR FAILED TO FIX THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED TO PROVIDE THE NEEDED AMPS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,497.

I HAVE A PUSH TO START AND MY CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF IT KEEPS SAYING THAT THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK. AT THIS TIME I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, THE ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO SHUT OFF WAS I HAD TO LET IT RUN OUT OT GAS AND NOW IT IS JUST SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN.

VERY STRONG GASOLINE ODOR AFTER FILLING TANK. NOTICED STRONG ODOR IN OUR GARAGE AND FOUND A LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER CAR DIRECTLY BENEATH THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. UPON INVESTIGATION DISCOVERED THERE IS A SECONDARY FUEL PUMP AT THAT LOCATION THAT IS PRONE TO CRACKING/LEAKING. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS ALSO LOCATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSES EVEN GREATER CONCERN FOR POSSIBILITY OF FIRE. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE AND WOULD LIKE A LOGICAL EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THIS EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. IS IT BECAUSE NO ONE HAD BEEN KILLED BY IT--YET?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING FUSE DID NOT CONNECT WELL, CAUSING IT NOT TO COOL THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 123,584.

WHILE DRIVING ON MAJORS HIGHWAY OR ROADS CAR JUST STALLS COMPLETELY THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES ALMOST

MY CAR HAS 11 RECALLS. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE BEEN REPAIRED YET. WHEN I DRIVE AND I CHANGE LANES. MY CAR MOVE ALL ACROSS THE ROAD. ESPECIALLY IF I HIT A BUMP. ALSO WHEN IT GET UP TO 60. IT SHAKES REALLY BAD. I LOOK UP RECALLS IT SAY 11 BUT I HAVEN'T RECEIVE ANYTHING IN THE MAIL.

POWER STEERING PUMP IS MESSED UP, I'VE TAKEN TO THE SHOP AND THEY ARE SAYING IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2011-2014 DODGE CHARGERS. I CHECKED AND SAW THAT MULTIPLE DODGE CHARGERS HAVE BEEN RECALLED HOWEVER IT SEEMS OURS WAS NEVER RECALLED.

FUEL TANK RIGHT SIDE UNDER REAR PASSENGER SEAT HAS A LEAK. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED WITH GASOLINE, THE FUEL LEAK STARTS AND GOES AWAY AFTER HALF THE TANK IS USED. IT'S LOCATED RIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP. THE FUMES OF THE GAS CAN BE SMELLED INSIDE THE CAB BECAUSE ITS DIRECTLY LOCATED UNDER THE SEAT. THIS IS AN OCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR OF CHARGERS AND IS DANGEROUS HAZARD. *TR

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS STAYING LIT UP ON MY DASH BOARD. I BELIEVE THERE WAS AN AIR BAG RECALL THAT WAS FIXED BY MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP NOT LONG AGO. I'M CONCERNED THAT NOW SOMETHING ELSE MAY BE WRONG.*DT*JB

MY VEHICLE LEAKS OIL AND THEY TOLD ME ITS THE OIL FILTER HOUSING

PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT HAS GONE OUT 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS. WHEN CHANGED/FIXED, EACH HEADLIGHT BULB IS BURNT AND 2 OUT OF THE 4 HAVE BUSTED INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. IT IS THE CORRECT BULB/VOLTAGE AND CERTIFIED OREM REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHT BULBS FOR THE LOW BEAM. EACH BULB LAST ONLY 4-6 WEEKS. NO SIGNS OF MOISTURE IN THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY OR FAULTY INSTALLATION.

WHEN MY TANK IS FULL TO AROUND HALF FULL IT LEAKS GAS AND THERE IS A VERY STRONG SMELL ON THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. INSIDE OF THE CAR IS INTOLERABLE. YOU HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. I'VE READ THIS IS A COMMON AND VERY DANGEROUS CHARGER PROBLEM BUT YET THERE IS NO RECALL.

FOR TWO YEARS NOW, FUEL LEAKS FROM MY TANK AFTER EVERY FILL UP. WHEN STATIONARY IT CREATES A GAS PUDDLE. THERE IS A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN MY GARAGE WHEN TANK IS MORE THAN HALF FULL. MANY OTHER 2011 CHARGERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AS WELL. A MECHANIC ONLINE HAS STATED IT IS DUE TO A CRACKED AUXILIARY FUEL PUMP MODULE THAT SHOULD NOT BE THIS DAMAGED UNDER NORMAL USE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM WILL COME ON THEN GO OFF. AFTER AWHILE IT COMES BACK ON FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN GOES OUT AGAIN. THE VEHICLE CAN BE SITTING RUNNING OR GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND WILL DO THE SAME THING.

ONE OR BOTH LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS CUT OFF WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS RELEASED A SAFETY RECALL THAT APPLIES TO MY VEHICLE, HOWEVER, IT IS NOT REGISTERED TO MY VIN AT THE MOMENT. THE RECALL NUMBER IS P08 / NHTSA 14V-101. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE.

WHEN I MAKE SLOW LEFT TURN I HEAR GRINDING NOISE. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS NOW MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. SOMETIMES MY CAR SMELLS AS THOUGH IT IS BURNING AFTER I DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE AND THEN I PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN THE CAR OFF.

FUEL PUMP (TOP) UNDER THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT DEVELOPS LEAKS AND SPILLS FUEL INTO AND EXPLOSIVE FUMES INTO THE PASSENGER AREA OF THE CAR. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON GOOGLE I'M FINDING THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2011 DODGE CHARGER. IF THIS IS SUCH A WIDESPREAD AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME UNDERSTAND WHY NHTSA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL? PROBLEM OCCURS AFTER A FILL UP. DISCOLORATION ON THE PUMP SHOWS THE EXTENT/VOLUME OF GASOLINE POURING OUT INTO THE INTERIOR FLOOR PAN.

WHILE DRIVING ON SMOOTH OR ROUGH ROADS, HIGHWAYS, CITY STREETS OR EVEN PARKED WITH LOW BEAMS ON EVERY TIME ONE LIGHT WILL START TO FLICKER AND GO OUT COMPLETELY AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON UNTIL LIGHT SWITCH IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. FIRST WAS DRIVER SIDE FOR A WEEK OR TWO, BUT NOW STAYS ON. BUT AS SOON AS THE DRIVER QUIT FLICKERING NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES IT ALL THE TIME NOT A DAY FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS HAS IT NOT TURNED OFF. DOESN'T MATTER IF LIGHTS ON AUTO OR MANUALLY TURNED ON THIS HAPPENS. THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO HAPPENS RANGES FROM FEW SECONDS TO 20 MIN. DEALER ACTS AS IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM AND CAN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM SO CAN'T GET FIXED. THIS GOES FOR ME AND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WITH SAME ISSUE WE NOW CAN'T DRIVE VEHICLE AT NIGHT OR TAKE A RISK THAT COULD EITHER GET US A TICKET FOR NO HEADLIGHT OR COULD BE IN A DRIVING SITUATION BEING PITCH BLACK OUT NO CITY LIGHTS TO HELP SEE MAKING A TURN AND LIGHTS GO OUT. THAT IS A FOR SURE WRECK OR EVEN DEATH. I DO KNOW OF A RECALL FOR THIS POLICE CHARGER JUST MINE ISN'T THE RIGHT TYPE SO WHY NOT MAKE IT FOR ALL TYPES. A PROBLEM IS A PROBLEM NO MATTER WHAT, BUT I GUESS OUR SAFETY ISN'T AS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF IT WAS THEN THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, SMOKE WAS DETECTED AND FIRE APPEARED UNDER THE HOOD. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE WIRE AND DASH HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ODOR DETECTED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE AUXILIARY FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED QUIRK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF BANGOR (07 HOGAN RD, BANGOR, ME 04401, (207) 945-9458), DARLING'S CHEVROLET (21 DOWNEAST HWY, ELLSWORTH, ME 04605, (866) 575-2434), AND CHARLIE'S CHEVROLET (1412 US-202, WINTHROP, ME 04364, (207) 377-2236). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,000.

THE AUXILIARY FUEL PUMP FAIL AND LEAKED INTO THE REAR RIGHT HAND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURE AND NO ONE IS WILLING TO HELP WITH THE VERY BIG FIRE HAZARD . THE LEAK HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS FILLED WITH FUEL AND THE TANK HAS ORE THE HALF A TANK OF FUEL.

BRAKE PEDAL OCCASIONALLY WILL GO TO THE FLOOR. NO WORK DONE THAT WOULD ALLOW AIR INTO THE SYSTEM. NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF A LEAK AND MASTER CYLINDER IS FULL OF FLUID. NO SPECIFIC DRIVING HABITS ARE EVIDENT WHEN FAILURE OCCURS. PROBLEM CORRECTS ITSELF WHEN PEDAL IS FORCIBLY DEPRESSED AND OCCURRENCE MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR WEEKS OR MONTHS.

HEADLAMP (LOW BEAM PROJECTION)REPEATEDLY SHUTS OFF AFTER FEW MINUTES DRIVING. I KNOW THAT SOME POLICE VEHICLES HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE BEEN RECALLED. CAN NO LONGER USE MY PERSONAL CAR AFTER SUNSET. LOCAL DEALER WILL REPAIR BUT AT MY EXPENSE. THIS IS A BIG DEAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. I WAS PUTTING ON THE GAS BUT THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN SO QUICKLY THAT I HAD TO PULL OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. AFTER TURNING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON, THE HEADLIGHTS OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. ADDITIONALLY, THE FOG LIGHTS ALSO FAILED TO OPERATE. WYSUP DODGE JEEP (115 S. GRAND AVE, PULLMAN, WA) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE BOTH NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

TRACKING CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON BY IT SELF WHEN IT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING CAR SLOWS DAWN MAKING IT HARD TO PUSH GAS PEDAL TO KEEP DRIVING I HAVE TO PULL OVER CUT MY CAR OFF RESTART MY CAR THEN GO AGAIN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAVE SINCLAIR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2326 W OSAGE ST, PACIFIC, MO 63069, (636) 257-4055) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT CONTINUED TO FAIL AFTER BEING REPLACED. IN ORDER FOR THE HEADLIGHTS TO OPERATE CORRECTLY, THE CONTACT HAD TO HIT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WITH HIS HAND. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY JERKED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION AFTER THE INITIAL JERK MOVEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

THE CAR GAVE AN ERROR MESSAGE 'VEHICLE NOT IN PAR'. COULD NOT TURN ENGINE OFF. EVENTUALLY CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT AND CAUSED BLOWN HEAD GASKETS. HAVE TO GET AN ENTIRE NEW ENGINE AND REPLACE SHIFTER AND PUSH TO START SYSTEM.

THE CAR SEEMS TO CONTINUE OVERHEATING NO MATTER WHAT AFTER NUMEROUS DELIVERIES TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS ASSURED THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER OVERHEAT BUT IT CONTINUES TO DO SO.

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ILLUMINATED IN DASH, TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF OFTEN WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE A SENSOR WAS REPLACED AND SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2016 THE CAR HAS BEEN HARD TO STEER. THE CARS STEERING IS STILL HARD TO STEER WHEN MAKING TURNS. IT ACTS AS IF IT IS GOING TO LOCK UP

I SMELLED THE STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE INSIDE MY CHARGER. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING GAS FROM AROUND THE O RING AT THE FUEL PUMP WHICH IS LOCATED UNDER THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT. THE MECHANIC TIGHTENED THE COVER TO THE FUEL PUMP AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE VEHICLE WAS NOW VISIBLY LEAKING GAS FONTO THE GROUND AND THE FUEL SMELL INSIDE THE VEHICLE WAS INTOLERABLE. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND LEFT IT WITH THEM FOR A DAY IN WHICH TIME THEY REPLACED THE RING, TESTED IT AND FOUND NO FURTHER LEAKAGE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME. BY THE NEXT MORNING THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING AGAIN, THIS TIME MUCH WORSE. I HAD TO PARK IT AWAY FROM THE HOUSE FOR FEAR THAT IT MIGHT CAUSE AN EXPLOSION WHEN IF LEFT IN THE HOT GARAGE WITH THE FUMES FILLING UP THE GARAGE. I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN 71 COMPLAINTS FILED WITH NHTSA. THIS IS TRULY A DANGEROUS DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I JUST HAD MY DAUGHTER AND GRAND KIDS IN THE CAR WITH SOME OF THE GRAND KIDS SITTING OVER THE FUEL PUMP LOCATED UNDER THE SEAT. WHO IN THERE RIGHT MIND WOULD PUT FUEL PUMPS UNDER THE REAR SEAT. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE'S FUEL TANK IS FULL. WHEN I MOVED IT AWAY FROM THE HOUSE IT LEFT A TRAIL OF GASOLINE TO WHERE I PARKED IT AND BY THE NEXT MORNING THERE WAS A HUGE SPOT ON THE GROUND AND THE CAR WAS FULL OF FUMES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF THERE EVERY WAS ONE.

WE HAD RECALL P08 HEADLAMP WIRING PERFORMED ON 2/22/15 AT PALMEN DODGE IN RACINE WI. 2 MONTHS LATER WE MOVED TO ARIZONA. WITHIN 6 MONTHS AFTER THIS RECALL WAS ADDRESSED WE CONTINUED TO HAVE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. AFTER A COUPLE OF TIMES I STARTED KEEPING RECEIPTS. APPROX. EVERY 6 MONTHS WE HAD TO REPLACE OUR HEADLIGHTS (SOMETIMES 1, SOMETIMES BOTH). WE FINALLY HAD A DEALERSHIP BUILT NEAR OUR HOUSE THIS YEAR (RODEO DODGE- SAN TAN VALLEY AZ) SO WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE IT IN WITHOUT TOO MUCH INCONVENIENCE- WE ONLY HAVE 1 CAR & NO RENTAL WAS OFFERED. THE IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE WAS A HEADLAMP HARNESS AND NEEDED TO REPLACE IT. THE COST FOR THIS WORK WAS $729.77. THEY ADVISED THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE PREVIOUS RECALL. HOWEVER WHEN READING THE P08 RECALL IT DOES INDICATE "YOUR DEALER WILL REPLACE THE HEADLAMP HARNESSES AND REPLACE THEM IF REQUIRED". IT SEEMS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THERE WAS A HARNESS OVERLOOKED WHEN THE RECALL WAS ADDRESSED IN 2015 THAT CAUSED US TO CONTINUALLY REPLACE HEADLAMPS EVERY 6 MONTHS. I HAVE RECEIPTS FROM THESE HEADLAMPS FROM: FEB 2017, DEC 2017, MAY 2018. THERE WERE A COUPLE ADDITIONAL TIMES BETWEEN MAR 2016 AND FEB 2017 THAT I DID NOT THINK TO KEEP RECEIPTS. I FINALLY HAD THE ISSUE ADDRESSED WHEN BOTH HEADLAMPS WENT OUT IN DEC 2018. SERVICE WASN'T COMPLETED UNTIL 3/5/19 AS IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR US TO BE WITHOUT A CAR FOR THE LENGTH OF TIME WE KNEW IT WOULD TAKE TO HAVE FIXED. I AM ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT FROM DODGE IN THE AMOUNT OF $971.37 TO COVER THE WORK DONE TO REPLACE THE HARNESSES AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE HEADLIGHTS I NEEDED TO HAVE REPLACED OVER TIME (ONLY THE ONES I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR). SEE ATTACHED. WE WILL BE PURCHASING ANOTHER CAR IN THE NEXT 6-12 MONTHS AND THIS WOULD GO A LONG WAY IN BUILDING MY CONFIDENCE IN DODGE PRODUCTS/SERVICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE HEAD GASKET FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

MY ABS AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON BUT THEY GO OFF. BUT WHEN DRIVING THEY COME ON SUDDENLY I DONT HAVE BRAKES FOR SEVERAL CRUCIAL SECONDS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP. THEN THE LIGHTS GO OFF AGAIN.

MY VEHICLE IS HAVING ALL OF THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE P08 RECALL. MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY GO OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. COMPLETELY DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE THIS WAY. FACTORY SAYS MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT YOU CLEARLY MISSED DIAGNOSED WHAT VEHICLES WERE EFFECTED AS MINE IS. PLEASE HELP!

I GAVE THE CAR FUEL THROTTLE AND IT STALLED THEN DIED ON THE FREEWAY. AFTER BEING STRUCK BY ANOTHER CAR FROM BEHIND, THE CAR STARTED FINE AND STILL RUNS PERFECT. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY RESEARCH SUGGEST THE PCM ON THESE CARS ARE FAULTY.

WHEN I START THE VEHICLE, THE LOW BEAMS WORK NORMALLY. WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF LIGHTS BEING ON, WHETHER IDLE OR DURING DRIVING, THEY WILL TURN OFF ON THERE OWN. I AM THEN FORCED TO USE HIGH BEAMS IN ORDER TO HAVE LIGHTING AT NIGHT.

AT FIRST I WAS UNABLE TO CALL OUT THROUGH MY CARS BLUETOOTH, BUT IF I USED MY PHONE TO CALL OUT I COULD HEAR AND SPEAK THROUGH MY CAR. HOWEVER THIS DID NOT LAST LONG SINCE THE SPEAKERS QUIT WORKING. A LOUD CLICKING STARTED IN MY DASH. THE RADIO TURNS ON BUT NO SOUND. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I COULD NOT START MY CAR AFTER GOGGLING THE ISSUE I FOUND THAT OTHERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND SAID THAT IF YOU TAKE THE REMOTE ITSELF TO PUSH THE START BUTTON THEIR CAR STARTED. I TRIED THIS AND AT THIS TIME MY CAR WILL START THIS WAY. ALSO MY TRUNK JUST OPENS ON IT'S OWN. THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY. I CALLED DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT A RECALL. I'M A DISABLED PERSON, AND I NEED MY CAR TO GET TO AND FROM DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS. I DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF MONEY AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY TO GET THESE ISSUES FIXED. I FEEL THAT SINCE THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE W OATH THE SAME ISSUES THAT THESE THINGS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND CUSTOMERS HAVE THEIR VEHICLES TAKEN CARE OF. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. DONNA [XXX] THESE THINGS HAPPENED OVER TIME SO I HAVE NO CERTAIN DATES. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

THE PART WAS ORDERED AND REPLACED FROM THE MANUFACTURER FOR THE ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR MONTHS. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE PLACE WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED MADE NO MENTION OF THE THREE RECALLS PERTAINING TO THE VIN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 19V018000 (AIR BAGS), 16V043000 (STRUCTRE), AND 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

PASSENGER SIDE FUEL PUMP LEAKING ON TOP OF TANK. WITH INTERNET RESEARCH FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO POOR QUALITY PLASTIC CRACKING. CONTACT A DEALER NOT UNDER RECALL.

NOTICED GAS SMELL IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING GAS TANK COMPLETELY UP. A COUPLE DAYS LATER I HAD A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL INSIDE VEHICLE AND WHILE DRIVING. STARTED NOTICING THAT THERE WAS A MODERATE SIZE PUDDLE UNDER VEHICLE WHERE THE REAR SEAT IS. I'VE SEEN MANY REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING AND IT DISTURBS ME THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY VEHICLE EITHER ONE OR BOTH HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT. I AM ABLE TO FLIP THEM OFF AND THEY WILL TURN BACK ON BUT CONTINUE TO GO OUT AS I AM DRIVING. THIS OCCURS DURING ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS, HIGHWAY, CITY, STATIONARY, MOVING, ACCELERATING, BREAKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY AND LATER SEIZED COMPLETELY. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS ONLY. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE ELECTRO HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I HAVE BEEN SMELLING GAS INSIDE OF THE CABIN OF MY CAR FOR A WHILE USUALLY ONLY IN THE MORNING OR AFTER MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING A WHILE. FINALLY THIS MORNING, 2/5/2019, THE SMELL WAS SO BAD THAT I HAD A HEADACHE AND MY EYES WERE BURNING AND SO TOOK IT TO AN AUTO MECHANIC SHOP TO LOOK AT IT. THEY STATED THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE SITTING ON MY FUEL PUMP THAT IS UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. THAT IS THE SIDE MY DAUGHTER SITS ON AND SHE HAS BEEN COMPLAINING OF HEADACHES AS WELL. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THAT IF I WERE TO HAVE GOTTEN INTO A WRECK AND THERE HAD BEEN A SPARK OF SOME SORT MY CAR WOULD HAVE GONE UP IN FLAMES BECAUSE THERE WAS A POOL OF GASOLINE SITTING ON THE FUEL PUMP.

WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING THE CAR AT NIGHT, SOMETIMES THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO COMPLETELY OUT, I'VE ALMOST WRECKED TWICE BC OF IT. I STARTED LOOKING ONLINE AND FOUND WHERE IN 2014 THEY RECALLED 50 SUM THOUSAND 2011 AND 2012 CHARGERS FOR THIS REASON, BUT WHEN I CALL THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER THEY TELL ME MY CAR WASN'T PART OF THAT RECALL. BASICALLY THEY WONT PAY FOR IT. I WORK FOR A BIG CAR MANUFACTURER AND I KNOW THAT IF A CUSTOMER COMPLAINED ABOUT SOMETHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE THEM TO DIE OR KILL OTHERS THEY WOULD FIX IT, ALL I WANT IS IT FIXED BEFORE I GET HURT OR HURT OTHERS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO DETECTED AN ODOR OF BURNING OIL THROUGH THE VENTS AND SMOKE APPEARED FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,680.

HAVING TROUBLES WITH MY DODGE CHARGER HEARD IT'S A RECALL . I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. IT'S MY PCM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND AIR BAG INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER (OURISMAN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE OF ALEXANDRIA, 5900 RICHMOND HWY, ALEXANDRIA, VA 22303, (703) 329-1600) REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT, BUT DID NOT DIAGNOSE THE AIR BAGS. THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED FOUR AIR BAG RECALL CAMPAIGNS, BUT IT WAS UNKNOWN IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

WHILE DRIVING LIGHTS SHUT OFF, I SWITCH FROM AUTO TO ON, TO TURN LIGHTS BACK ON, LIGHTS FLICKER SLIGHTLY AS WELL. CAR TAKEN DEALERSHIP CHANGED CAR BATTERY, KEY FOG, AND SHORTENED WIRES TO LIGGTS. PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED.

2011 DODGE CHARGER R/T 5.7L HEMI WITH AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAMS. HEADLIGHT(LOW BEAM) INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT AND SOMETIMES WHEN SWITCHING FROM HIGH TO LOW BEAM THE LOW BEAN DOESN'T FUNCTION AND ONE MUST TURN OFF THE LIGHTS MANUALLY AND RE-ENGAGE THEM TO WORK.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I RECENTLY HAD A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED MY FUEL EFFICIENCY DIDN'T APPEAR TO BE AS GOOD AS NORMAL. I NOTICED ON CHRISTMAS EVE 12/24/18 THAT I HAD A VISIBLE FUEL TRAIL ON THE OUTSIDE GROUND, NEAR THE REAR PASSENGER-SIDE DOOR AS IT WAS PARKED. I HAVE SINCE NOT DRIVEN MY VEHICLE OUT OF CONCERN THAT THE ISSUE WOULD RESULT IN SOMETHING MUCH WORSE. I HAVE A CHILD AND WILL NOT PUT HIM OR MYSELF IN DANGER. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET MY CAR TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALER FOR SERVICE ASSISTANCE. SINCE MY CAR HAS SUCH LOW MILEAGE, AND I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER, IT'S DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT I WOULD BE DEALING WITH A FUEL LEAK FROM A 2011 VEHICLE. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS OTHERS THAT HAVE EXPLAINED THEY'VE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2011 DODGE CHARGER SE OR SIMILAR YEAR/MODEL. I'M CONCERNED THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS FUEL LEAK PROBLEM, BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY MENTION OF AN ACTUAL RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS. I KNOW THIS WILL RESULT IN A PRICEY REPAIR FROM THE DEALER, BUT, I WILL HAVE TO DO WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND MYSELF.

FUEL SMELL AND LEAK FROM RIGHT SIDE TANK CONSTANT CAUSES LAG IN PERFORMANCE AND HAZARDOUS IN TRAFFIC AS IT WILL SEEM TO LOOSE POWER AND HESITATE HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY NOW AFTER HEAVY BREAKING OR ANY QUICK FORCE ON THROTTLE WHEN HAVING TO SPEED UP DUE TO TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY OR TO ANY RESPONSE NEEDED WHILE DRIVING ..IE ACCIDENT AHEAD OR QUICK ACTION NEEDED TO AVOID ONE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN TO 90 MPH. THE ABS WOULD NOT RELEASE AND THE CONTACT HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE THAN USUAL TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,426.

I AM WONDERING IF I HAVE ANY FURTHER ACTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO ME FOR A RECALL SITUATION. MY CAR HAD A RECALL FOR THE TIMING CHAIN AND I HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED IN 2014. A FEW WEEKS AGO WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR IN A SNOW STORM THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED AND DESTROYED MY ENGINE. I HAD SECONDS TO NEGOTIATE MY LANE AND GET TO SAFETY WHICH I COULD NOT. THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE WAS STILL STICKING OUT OF THE RIGHT LANE. I WAS INFORMED BY THE STATE PATROL I CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BEHIND ME AND MY VEHICLE WAS ALSO ALMOST STRUCK BY A SEMI TRUCK. I DO NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE YEAR ROUND SO BETWEEN 2014 AND NOW THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 20,000 MILES PUT ON IT WITH THE NEW TIMING CHAIN. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY INFORMED ME THE NEW TIMING CHAIN HAD A WARRANTY OF ONLY 2 YEARS SO ALL SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY. I AM MAKING THE ASSUMPTION THE CORRECT CHAIN WAS NOT PUT ON MY VEHICLE DURING THE RECALL REPAIR OR WAS NEVER CHANGED AT ALL. THE VEHICLE HAD A TOTAL OF 54,000 MILES ON IT AND ACCORDING TO ALL THE FORUMS, THIS IS TYPICALLY WITHIN THE MILEAGE THE CHAIN FAILS AND UNDER THE EXACT CONDITIONS OF WHICH I WAS DRIVING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS NO EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SHOULD HAVE LED TO A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. NOW DODGE WANTS TO CHARGE ME $5,000 FOR THE ENGINE REPAIR WHICH WAS CAUSED FROM THE TIMING CHAIN THEY SUPPOSEDLY INSTALLED.

RAW FUEL SMELL IN INTERIOR OF CAR, PART NUMBER 68159764AB PICKUP/LEVEL UNIT MODULE HAS CRACKING IN HOUSING CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK AND FUMES TO COME INTO CAR. THIS MODULE IS LOCATED UNDER THE REAR SEAT AREA OF THE CAR, AND HAS 2 PLASTIC BODY PLUGS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO SEAL OUT THE FUMES BUT THEY FIT LOOSE AND DON'T SEAL VERY WELL, CALLED ULTIMATE DODGE IN MOUNTAIN HOME ARKANSAS AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE COMPLAINT. THEY REPLIED IT WAS A RECALL, SCHEDULED A REPAIR ON 12/14/2018 TOOK VEHICLE IN, DEALERSHIP CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT COVERED ACCORDING TO THE VIN #. I TOLD THEM THAT IT IS LEAKING FUEL AND THAT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT REPAIR IT BECAUSE IT WASN'T UNDER THE RECALL. I LOOKED IT UP ON GOOGLE THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THAT SAY ITS COVERED. THIS VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL SO ITS AN EXPLOSIVE ISSUE AND A FIRE HAZARD. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I HAD TO PURCHASE THE PART AND HAVE IT REPAIRED FOR OFFICER AND PUBLIC SAFETY. THIS IS A PATROL CAR AND THE MANUFACTURES THAT BUILD THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THERE VEHICLES.

THE CAR HAD AN ALTERNATOR AND AIRBAG RECALL WHICH I TRIED TO SCHEDULE SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE PART WAS NEVER READY. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON THE 880 FREEWAY THE CAR SHUT OFF B/C OF THE ALTERNATOR, NOW I HAVE TO PAY PUT OF POCKET AND THEY ARE GOING TO REIMBURSE ME AND I HAVE TO RENT A CAR FOR THE NEXT 2 DAYS.. INCONVENIENCE TO NO END.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE HID LOW BEAM WILL RANDOMLY TURN OFF. UPON USING THE TOGGLE SWITCH TO TURN BOTH LIGHTS OFF AND BACK TO THE ON POSITION, THE FAILED HEADLAMP WILL RE-ILLUMINATE UNTIL IT FAILS AGAIN. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE BALLAST, NOT THE BULB.

THE CAR BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE, MISFIRE, AND LOST POWER WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AFTER BEING TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WITH ONLY 75000 MILES HAS FAILED LIFTERS AND A BAD CAMSHAFT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERNAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SHORTED OUT AND FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER (FREMONT MOTOR ROCK SPRINGS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT, 1900 FOOTHILL BLVD, ROCK SPRINGS, WY 82901, (307) 228-2091) WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD TO FIX MY FUEL PUMP. AND WHEN I DRIVE SMELL GAS. MY CAR IS A TICKING TIME BOMB.

STRONG FUEL ORDER WHEN FILL GAS TANK. I LOOKED ONLINE IT LOOKS LIKE A COMMON ISSUE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SOMEONE'S GOING TO GET KILLED IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED ALREADY. THE GAS LEAKS OUT AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL SENDING UNIT LOCATED UNDER REAR SEAT ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. WHEN I TOOK THE SEAT OFF THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF FUEL. AGAIN THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AFTER READING ONLINE.

I SMELLED GAS WHEN I FILLED MY CAR UP WITH GAS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS AND WHERE TO FIND WHERE THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM. I LIFTED UP THE REAR SEAT AND THERE WAS FUEL SITTING ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP RIGHT UNDER THE SEAT. THERE IS NO PROTECTION BETWEEN THE SEAT AND FUEL PUMP. SO NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WHICH IS DEACTIVATING MY REMOTE START. I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, ABS, AND EMERGENCY BRAKE INDICATORS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WELLS DODGE (1600 US 27 S, AVON PARK, FL) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPEED SENSORS WERE FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS RECENTLY REPLACED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

AFTER FILLING UP CAR WITH GASOLINE IT IS LEAKING ONTO GROUND, AND SMELL FILLING UP CABIN. ONLINE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH CAR.

I STARTED SMELLING GAS INSIDE MY CAR. I NOTICED A WET PLACE ON THE GROUND UNDER WHERE MY GAS TANK IS. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC. HE STATED THAT WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, IT IS LEAKING ON THE TOP RIGHT SIDE OF MY TANK BECAUSE THAT SIDE IS NOT WELDED CORRECTLY TOGETHER. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN MY CAR. MY MECHANIC SAID JUST THE COST OF A NEW TANK IS $1,100.00. THAT IS NOT INCLUDING THE LABOR TO REMOVE THE OLD ONE TO PUT A NEW ONE IN. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDED AS A RECALL DUE TO SO MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER RT 5.7L V8 HEMI STARTED HAVING ISSUES RUNNING, IT FELT LIKE IT WAS IDLING HIGH WHEN SITTING STILL WHILE RUNNING IN DRIVE, BUT THE RPM'S WERE NORMAL. THEN IT WOULD PERIODICALLY SOUND LIKE IT WAS NOT GOING TO START, WHEN TURNING IT ON, IT WOULD SPUTTER AND STRUGGLE TO START, BUT T WOULD START. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE STARTED HAVING ISSUES ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS, IF YOU TOOK YOUR FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR TO SLOW DOWN GRADUALLY AND THEN TRY TO ACCEL AGAIN IT WOULD WOULD NOT ACCCEL, AND IT WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WAS PULLING BACK, OR BRAKING. THE CAR WOULD THEN JUMP TO ACCEL LIKE IT WAS JUST PUT INTO GEAR. AFTER A DIAGNOSIS WE FOUND THERE WAS A CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE.THE SPARK PLUGS WERE CHANGED, ALL OF THE, AND THE COIL, AND THE INJECTOR, AND STILL IT RAN BAD. FINALLY THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO SAY THAT THERE WAS A CAMSHAFT FAILURE DUE TO AN INTERNAL ISSUE. IT WAS WIPED OUT ALONG WITH THE LIFTERS, BECAUSE THE ROCKERS STOPPED ROCKING. THIS CAR IS 7 YEARS OLD, BUT ONLY HAS ABOUT 81,000 MILES, SO THE POWER TRAIN IS UP. THE CAR WAS REGULARLY SERVICED AND TAKEN CARE OF AND THERE IS NO REASON THAT THERE SHOULD BE SUCH A FAILURE WITH AN ENGINE THAT IS SO LOW ON MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT PASSENGER HEADLIGHT FAILED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE OF THE FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT SPECIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY LOW BEAM ON THE THE CAR HAD GONE OUT AND WILL DO SO AFTER HAVING THE CAR ON FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN THE LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON IF I TURN THEM OFF AND IT WILL TURN OFF AGAIN. SOME TIMES THE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON FOR HOURS AND OTHER TIMES THEY TURN OFF WITHIN A COUPLE MINUTES AND USUALLY ONE LIGHT GOES FIRST AND THE OTHER SHORTLY AFTER

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE STRAIGHT DOWN A CITY STREET AT 36 MILES PER HOUR THROUGH AN INTERSECTION LIGHT AND MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE REALLY HARD AND THE CAR BEGAN TO DROP SPEED ON ITS OWN, I WENT TO PRESS THE GAS TO ACELERATE AND THE EGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH AND THE AIR CONDITIONER STARTED BLOWING REALLY HOT AIR AND I LOST ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE.I TRIED TO PUSH THE GAS TO TURN OFF THE BUSY STREET BUT I HAD NO POWER SO I HAD TO PRETTY MUCH COAST TO THE NEAREST PLACE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFICE. ONCE I PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT THE CAR STARTED TO HAVE A SMELL AS IF SOMETHING WAS BURNING UNDERNEATH THE HOOD, AT THAT POINT I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PUSHED THE OFF BUTTON, I SAT A FEW MINUTES THEN TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR BUT IT WOULD NOT START AND KEPT MAKING A NOISE SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF GOT OUT AND GOT MY TODDLER OUT OF THE BACKSEAT AND CALLED MY HUSBAND, HE ARRIVED ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER AND TRIED JUMP STARTING THE CAR BUT IT WOULD NOT START AND WAS MAKING A WEIRD NOISE WHEN PUSHING THE START BUTTON, AT THIS POINT I FIGURED THE CAR STOPPED DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED SO I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE ON THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD MY ENGINE IS COMPLETELY BURNED UP DUE TO LACK OF OIL WHICH IS NOT TRUE BECUASE I CHECKED THE OIL DIPSTICK 2 DAYS AFTER IT HAD BEEN SITTING AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THERE WAS OIL IN THE CAR AND NO OIL LEAKS, I JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR (2018) SO I BELIEVE MY ENGINE WAS BURNED UP COMPLETELY DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR AND A CIRCUT SHORTAGE CASED THE CAR TO OVER HEAT AND BURN THE ENGINE, I NEED THIS TO BE INVESTGATED TO SEE IF THIS IS SECONDARY TO THE RECALL SO THAT I CAN SEE IF IM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGES OR NOT BECAUSE NOW I NEED AN ENTIRE NEW ENGINE WHICH IS OVER $8,000 IN COSTS.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT HAS COME ON TWICE IN PAST MONTH. FIRST TIME A VACUUM CANNISTER WAS REPLACED. THE 2ND TIME I TOLD THE DEALER THAT I ALSO SMELLED GAS. I WAS TOLD THE THE RIGHT FUEL PUMP IS "CRACKED" AND A REPLACEMENT WILL COST OVER $900. MY CAR HAS ONLY 35,000 MILES ON IT.

THERE WAS A GAS PUDDLE AND THE INSIDE OF THE CAR SMELLED LIKE A LOT OF GAS. MY BROTHER LIFTED THE BACK SEAT AND THERE WAS A LOT OF GAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK.

I WAS TOLD THE FIX WILL BE $440.+ TAX AS THE PROBLEM IS A VOLTAGE DROP IN THE HARNESS THAT WAS INSTALLED AND NOT THE ORIGINAL MELTED WIRING THAT CAUSED THE PO8 RECALL.

LETTER FROM CONGRESSMAN ROUZER ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE 2011 DODGE CHARGER FALSE RECALL NOTICE ON THE MOTOR. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAD A RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED ON THE ENGINE, BUT THE ENGINE FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. THE CONSUMER CONCLUDED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ACTUALLY REPAIRED FOR THE RECALL AND THAT THE DOCUMENTS WERE FALSIFIED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO HAVING OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE AND WAS SUPPOSED THE REPLACE THE MOTOR WITH A NEW ONE, INSTEAD REPLACED THE MOTOR WITH A REBUILT ONE. THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING WATER FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE, EXTREME SHAKING, AND SMELLED OF BURNING OIL. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO HAVE THE MOTOR REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE. *JS

ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY BRAKES HAVE SLIPPED AND THE PEDAL HAS GONE STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. THREE TIMES AS I WAS ROLLING SLOWLY UP TO AN ATM MACHINE. THE 4TH TIME WHILE I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP LIGHT, GOING APPX 30 MPH. I JUST HAD NEW FRONT BRAKES PUT ON. I WAS TOLD THE BACK BRAKES ARE STILL 3/4 PAD LEFT. I TOLD THE MECHANIC OF THE SLIPPING AND HE SAID THEY CHECKED ALL THINGS THAT USUALLY CAUSE THIS AND ALL THOSE AREAS ARE FULLY SEALED AND LOOK GOOD. THEY CAN'T FIND ANY REASON FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING.

MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER SE SOMETIMES GOES INTO "POWER SAVE MODE", WHEN IT DOES THAT, IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE SPECIFICALLY FROM THE ALTERNATOR PULLEY AND THE SERPENTINE BELT. WHEN I TURN ON THE AC AND TURN THE WHEEL, THE NOISE PERSISTS, BUT WHEN THE AC IS OFF AND I TURN THE WHEEL, THERE IS NO NOISE. WHEN THE VEHICLE GOES INTO THE POWER SAVE MODE, I FEEL LIKE I LOOSE POWER WHEN TURNING, AS IF THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO TURN OFF.

RECALL T36: MY AR CUT OFF ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING DUE TO THE RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR AND POWER STEERING. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 3 WEEKS AND I FINALLY GOT A CALL BACK TODAY. THE RECALL DEPARTMENT TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND THEN SUBMIT TO THEM FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I HAVE ARGUED ABOUT HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A RECALL. ALSO THEY ARE TRYING TO GIVE ME A ALTERNATOR THAT STILL IS NOT THE PERMANENT FIX. SO THIS ALTERNATOR COULD STILL GO OUT ON ME WHILE I AM DRIVING LIKE THE FIRST TIME. WHEN THE CAR CUT OFF I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY. THANK GOD I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY STILL BECAUSE THE CAR JUST SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN. I HAD NO POWER WHEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND I ENDED UP RUNNING UP ON THE CURB TRYING TO STOP THE CAR.

RECALL ON ALTERNATOR ON 8/27/17 I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND MY CAR JUST STOP RUNNING. I RESTARTED IT AND THE BATTERY SAFE MODE APPEARED ON THE SCREEN. I MADE IT TO MY HOUSE AND MY CAR STOP WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I CALLED EVAN ARENA DODGE TO MAKE A SERVICE APT. THEY STATED THEY WERE BACKED UP AND GAVE ME A DATE 8/8/17 @ 10 AM. I CALLED THE RECALL 9/5/17 AGENT STATED PART WILL NOT BE IN UNTIL 2018. I STATED WHAT I'M I SUPPOSE TO DO WITHOUT A CAR, AGENT STATED THEY WILL APPROVE A RENTAL UNTIL THEN. I CALLED RECALL 9/6-9/8 TO GUARANTEE THAT MY CAR WILL GET THE PROPER CARE AND I WILL NOT BE OUT OF A CAR. CHRIS SERVICE AGENT AT EVAN ARENA DODGE STATES MY CAR PART IS ON RECALL AND THE PART WILL NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL 2018. I STATED I WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE PER RECALL. CHRIS SERVICE AGENT GAVE ME A BILL OF $99.99 I REFUSED TO SIGN AND PAY FOR IT BECAUSE IT WAS AN ALTERNATOR RECALL ISSUE AND NOT FAULT OF MY OWN. I STATED TO CHRIS SERVICE AGENT,' WHAT ABOUT A RENTAL PER RECALL I WILL BE PROVIDED A RENTAL UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.' CHRIS STATED I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY SENT OUT THEM LETTERS OUT BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS BEEN COMING UP HERE TO GET THEIR CAR FIXED. I STATED TO CHRIS SERVICE AGENT I'M A VICTIM OF THE RECALLED ALTERNATOR AND I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR A WEEK AND A HALF. CHRIS LEFT DESK AND TOM SUPERVISOR CAME AND STATED PARTS WILL NOT BE IN UNTIL MARCH 2018. I STATED TO TOM THAT'S NOT MY PROBLEM, I NEED TO GET TO WORK I HAVE 2 JOBS AND NO TRANSPORTATION. I NEED A RENTAL, TOM STATED I WILL EMAIL MY DISTRICT MANAGER AND HE USUALLY GETS BACK TO ME QUICKLY FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE RENTAL, IF IT'S THE RECALL ALTERNATOR. I STATED WELL I HAVE AN APT AT 10 AM PUT IT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC AND YOU SHOULD BE CALLING ME IN AN HOUR. CHRIS SERVICE AGENT CALLED ME AT 12:30 AND STATED IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND I STATED WHAT ABOUT THE RENTAL?UNABLE TO COMPLETE MY COMPLAINT DUE TO LACK OF CHARACTER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE BATTERY AND THE LOW POWER MODE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT NOTICED A BURNING ODOR COMING THROUGH THE VENTS FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NAPLETON'S MID RIVERS CHRYSLER (4951 VETERANS MEMORIAL PKWY, ST PETERS, MO 63376, PHONE NUMBER: (636) 936-3669) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RECALL PART T36 FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

AT NIGHT OR WHEN HID HEADLIGHTS ARE ON FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN OFF, LEAVING ONLY ONE LIGHT ON. IF I STOP THE CAR AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTART THE CAR BOTH LIGHTS WILL BE ON. ALSO IF I TURN OFF THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH FOR A MOMENT AND THEN BACK TO THE ON POSITION BOTH HEADLIGHTS COME BACK ON. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I HAD A BURNT OUT BULB AND I TOOK THE CAR TO FIRESTONE TO GET A REPLACEMENT BULB, BUT THEY SAID BOTH HEADLIGHTS WORK AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. NEITHER FIRESTONE OR DODGE CHARGED ME ANYTHING FOR THE CHECK. THEY BOTH SAID "NO PROBLEM FOUND". NOW DODGE SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE FOR AN ALTERNATOR PROBLEM. I WONDER IF THIS IS RELATED.

VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD DUE TO ALTERNATOR SUDDEN FAILURE. THERE IS A RECALL ON ALTERNATOR PART, BUT THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL.

ON THE MORNING OF 8/20 I DROVE 2 BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE WHEN THE CHATTERY SAVE MODE TURNED ON ACCOMPANIED BY THE BATTERY LIGHT ON THE DASH SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR LOST POWER STEERING AND ALL ELECTRIC COMPONENTS SHUT OFF AND THEN THE CAR SHUTOFF AND WAS IMMOBILE AFTER THAT. I PUSHED THE CAR HOME AND THE CAR HASN'T TURNED OVER SINCE. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND USED A BATTERY CHARGER TO RECHARGE SO I CAN PUT MY WINDOWS UP WHEN I RECONNECTED THE BATTERY I PUT THE CAR IN RUN KNOWING THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD AND PENDING RECALL. AS THE WINDOWS HIT THE CLOSED POSITION BLACK SMOKE STARTED COMING OFF THE ALTERNATOR AND I PROMPTLY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AGAIN COMPLETELY AFTER TURNING THE CAR INTO OFF POSITION AGAIN. THE ALTERNATOR CONTINUED TO SMOKE FOR 5 MINUTES AS I STARED AT IT WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN HAND AND PHONE IN THE OTHER WITH 911 DIALED AND READY. AS THE CAR SAT IN THE DRIVEWAY AFTER ALL THIS I NOTICED A FUEL SMELL THAT CAME FROM THE CAR THEN I NOTICED A FUEL LEAK. A CONSTANT DRIPPING OF 1OR 2 DROPS PER 5SECONDS. THE LEAK COMES FROM BELOW THE DOOR HINGES AREA OF THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR. I CANNOT FIND THE ORIGIN BUT THIS IS WHERE IT DRIPS FROM. I'VE READ THAT THIS IS ALSO A COMMON PROBLEM BUT DODGE OR ANY OTHER AFFILIATE HAS RECALLED ANY FUEL COMPONENTS AND PEOPLE THAT HAVE CHANGED THE FULL FUEL SYSTEM TANK HOSES PUMPS EVERYTHING STILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FILLED WITH GAS TO MAX CAPACITY AND THE LEAK STOPS ONCE THE FUEL LEVEL REACHES 3/4 TANKS OR LESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING DIMMED AND THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT ILLUMINATED. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS DID NOT WORK AT ALL. THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF HEADLIGHT FUNCTIONALITY, WHICH PROMPTED THE CONTACT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT PEP BOYS IN EDGEWATER PARK, NEW JERSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS WERE REMOVED AND REINSERTED BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT THE SOURCE OF THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE FUSES WERE INSPECTED BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED DIRECTLY. PEP BOYS LOCATED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V101000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. AN UNKNOWN DODGE DEALER IN LUMBERTON, NEW JERSEY WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE CONTACT'S VIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND AGREED WITH THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND SERVICE AWD INDICATORS ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. ALSO, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS INDICATOR DISENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN AWAY AT LOWER SPEEDS OF 20-25 MPH. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PRIVATE CONDOMINIUM PARKING LOT IN LUBBOCK, TX AND POPPED OUT OF PARK WHILE IT WAS RUNNING. IT ROLLED BACKWARDS AND HIT A CURB AND BUSH. DRIVER'S DOOR WAS LEFT OPEN AND DRIVER WAS STANDING NEARBY. ATTEMPTED TO MOVE BUT WAS HIT BY THE DOOR CAUSING SOME INJURIES. $7200 DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE. IT IS UNKNOWN IF IT IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE OR ELECTRICAL.

AFTER FUELING MY VEHICLE ABOVE 3/4THS (BUT NOT OVER FULL) A FUEL LEAK STARTED CAUSING EXTREME FUEL VAPORS TO BE PRESENT INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF CAR. EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS NOT BEING DRIVEN (WHILE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF). THE FUMES ARE SO STRONG THAT THEY FILL MY GARAGE AND CAN BE SMELLED FROM 40 - 50 FEET AWAY AND I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. MANY OTHER FORUMS HAVE BEEN READ FOR ME TO REALIZE THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, IS COMMON AMONG THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR, AND SHOULD BE CAUSE FOR A RECALL FOR SAFETY REASONS BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS (FIRE, EXPLOSION, ETC). MOST SAY THE OBSERVED A LEAK IN FRONT OF THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE. OTHERS HAVE SAID THEY PULLED OUT THE BACK SEAT TO ACCESS THE FUEL PUMP AND HAVE FOUND GAS SITTING ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC/DEALERSHIP YET, BUT WANTED TO ENSURE THIS IS REPORTED AND NEEDS TO PUSHED FOR RECALL CONSIDERATION. UPDATED 11/08/2017*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANED AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A MINOR INJURY THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED, BUT NO ONE ANSWERED THE PHONE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A WINDING NOISE AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, TRACTION CONTROL, AND BATTERY WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER IN A PARKING SPOT AND NOTICED SMOKE EMERGING FROM THE ALTERNATOR AREA. THE CONTACT HAD TO POUR WATER TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THE CONTACT RE-ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NO ELECTRICAL POWER. THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS WERE NOT PRESENT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER (NORTH OLMSTED DODGE/JEEP IN NORTH OLMSTED, OHIO) WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND I USED MY REMOTE STARTER, AND ONCE I GOT IN THE CAR THE BATTERY SAVER MODE WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND I SMELLED A BURNING ODOR INSIDE THE CABIN. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITH NO NOTICEABLE EFFECTS BUT I ONLY LIVED 2.5 MILES AWAY FROM WHERE I WAS.

VIN [XXX] RIDING DOWN I-75 IN GEORGIA AND MY CAR STALED AND THE COMPLETE ENGINE SHOUT DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE ALTERNATOR WERE FIRE HOT. ROADSIDE TRIED TO JUMP START MY CAR BUT THERE WERE NO POWER. MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED HOME. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAIN THOUROUGHFARE, THE ENGINE STALLED.( THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM, NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON.) THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, AND THEN ALL ELEC POWER WENT OUT. LEAVING THE CAR WITHOUT LIGHTS/FLASHERS. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE ALTERNATOR FAILED, SHORTING OUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND KILLING/DESTROYING THE BATTERY. THE ALTERNATOR SHOULDN'T DO THIS. I FOUND THAT DODGE HAD A RECALL ( P-60) ON THEIR V-6 MODELS FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. MY CAR IS A V-8. I WAS LUCKY I WASN'T DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY OR AT NIGHT AS THE CAR HAD NO WAY IOF INDICATING DISTRESS TO OTHER DRIVERS AND THE HEADLIGHTS DIDN'T WORK. THERE IS A CLEAR DEFECT IN THE ALTERNATORS OF THESE CARS, ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED.

"TAKATA RECALL" VEHICLE ALTERNATOR BURNED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT THE TIME WHEN THE BATTERY LIGHT AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON BOTH IN RED NOT THE NORMAL ORANGE, ALSO THE TRACTION LIGHT STARTED COMING OFF AND ON AT TIMES FOR THE PAST MONTH WHEN DRIVING AS NORMAL TO PLACES AROUND MY AREA. WHEN SHE MADE IT HOME SHE NOTICED THAT ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS CAME ON THEN WENT OFF AND SHE SMELLED SMOKE AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RAISED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT BURNT ELECTRICAL SMELL WITH SMOKE COMING FROM THE SIDE OF THE MOTOR WHERE THE ALTERNATOR IS, SO WHEN I GOT HOME I NOTICED THE ALTERNATOR HAD BLACK BURN SCARS AROUND THE COIL AREAS AND WITH A FLASHLIGHT NOTICED SOME OF THE COILS INSIDE WERE MELTED DOWN FROM THE BURNING

PURCHASED A 2011 DODGE CHARGER 2 MONTHS AGO FOR MY TEENAGE SON. WHEN FILLING UP GAS TANK MORE THAN 3/4 FULL GAS LEAKS WHILE CAR IN PARK FROM AREA ABOUT 1.5 FEET IN FRONT OF REAR PASSENGER WHEEL. CABIN SMELLS OF GAS ODOR. CALLED DEALER THAT I PURCHASED CAR FROM...NO HELP. TONS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR SON TO DRIVE DODGE. PLEASE STAND BEHIND YOUR CARS. LET'S RECALL THIS AND KEEP PEOPLE SAFE BEFORE A LIFE IS LOST. ONE LIFE IS TOO MANY.

IF I FILL UP MY TANK OF GAS IT STARTS LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. FUMES CAN BE SMELLED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND OUTSIDE AS WELL. ITS VERY PENETRATING. WHEN ITS HOT OUTSIDE IF THE CAR REMAINS CLOSE WHEN U ARR INSIDE THE FUMES BEGIN TO GIVR YOU A SORE THROAT AND SHORT OF BREATH. VERY DANGEROUS

GET IN CAR TO GO TO WAL-MART ONE SATURDAY MORNING THE LOW BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND GET A MESSAGE THAT CAR WAS GOING TO BATTERY SAVING MODE. DROVE TO STORE GOT MY ITEMS GOT BACK INTO CAR AND ALL ELECTRONICS JUST STARTED SHUTTING OFF THEN CAR STARTED TO IDLE AND CUT OUT MADE A U SHAPE IN PARKING LOT AS WAS AFRAID TO GET ON THE ROAD FOR FEAR OF IT QUITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. TURN CAR OFF WOULDN'T START BACKUP YOU COULD SMELL SOMETHING HOT UNDER THE HOOD. THE ALTERNATOR WAS SO HOT BURNT HAND. HAD TO CALL TOW TRUCK TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO FIX. I WAS LUCKY THIS HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON A ROAD COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE COST OF REPAIR WAS $1, 187.75 PLUS IT TOOK 2 WEEKS FOR REPAIR. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR CAUGHT MY CAR ON FIRE.

WHEN TANK IS FILLED, A STRONG FUEL ODOR OCCURRED INSIDE CAR, ALONG WITH A PUDDLE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF RIGHT REAR TIRE. DEALERSHIP FIRST "FIXED" SECONDARY FUEL PUMP BUT PROBLEM RECURRED AT NEXT FILL UP. SUBSEQUENTLY THE PRIMARY FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED. IT IS EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THIS DID NOT RESULT IN A FIRE OR DEATH WITH MY KIDS RIDING IN THIS CAR ON A DAILY BASIS. DODGE KNOWS ABOUT ISSUE AS TONS OF COMPLAINTS CAN BE FOUND ON LINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SMOKE EMITTED FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR CAUGHT ON FIRE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY TIRES EVERY 9 MONTHS AND ROTATE THEM EVERY 3 WEEKS. FINALLY, I ASKED MY TIRE SHOP WHY. HE SAID THE WAY THIS DODGE CHARGER WAS BUILT, THE TIRES ARE AT AN ANGLE SO THEY WEAR UNEVENLY, WHICH ALSO MAKES IT WEAR FASTER. I THOUGHT I WAS BEING FED A STORY, SO I TOOK IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. THE TOLD ME THE SAME EXACT THING. THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND DANGEROUS. I'M JUST WAITING FOR A TIRE TO BLOW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V043000 (STRUCTURE), 15V467000 (AIR BAGS), AND 16V352000 (AIR BAGS).

LED TAILLIGHTS ARE GOING OUT, AND CANNOT BE REPLACED BY CONSUMERS

MY VEHICLE IS A 2011 DODGE CHARGE 80,000 MILES. FOR ABOUT 4MONTHS ITS BEEN SMELLING LIKE FUME, GASOLINE INSIDE THE VEHICLE LIKE IF THERE WAS A LEAK WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY, IN MOTION AT ALL TIMES. WHEN I FILL MY GAS TANK THE SMELL GETS WORST. SINCE IT BEGAN TO SMELL LIKE GASOLINE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. I HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE MECHANICS ARE WANTING APPROXIMATELY $500 TO FIX THE GASOLINE FUEL SYSTEM. I HOPE I DON'T BLOW UP.IT IS A UNSAFE CONDITION TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I HAVE TWIN 1YEAR OLDS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER TO FIND IF THERE IS A RECALL BUT THEY STATE THEY DON'T.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS MELTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,224.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING. BATTERY SAVER MODE CAME ON AND THE RADIO TURNED OFF. I STARTED GETTING SERVICE LIGHTS AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ABLE TO GET IT HOME AS I WAS ONLY A BLOCK AWAY WHEN THIS STARTED. I TURNED OFF AND ON THE CAR. THE CAR STUDDERED TO START AND THE A TON OF ERROR LIGHTS CAME ON LIKE ABS, BREAK, ENGINE, SERVICE LIGHTS. THE CAR STUDDERED AND THE STEARING WHEEL AND BREAK WAS LOCKED. TUNED OUT IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR THAT DIED AND THANK GOD I WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND NOT GOING FAST ELSE I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT AS EVERYTHING AROUND MY HOUSE IS A HIGHWAY. THE 3.5L ENGINE WAS RECALLED BUT AFTER LOOKING AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 5.7L HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS ALSO NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

RECEIVED A INDICATOR MESSAGES STATING "BATTERY SAVE MODE" WHILE DRIVING. ONCE WE MADE IT TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STRUGGLE A BIT. I DROVE IT HOME. THANK GOD I DID BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP, IT LOST POWER. IT APPEARS FROM RESEARCHING THE SYMPTOMS, THE ALTERNATOR IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO EFFICIENTLY POWER THE VEHICLE. I'M GLAD I WAS NOT ON THE ROAD DRIVING WHEN IT SHUT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIGHTS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BALLAST NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V101000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS WERE HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE LIGHTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000. UPDATED 05/10/17*LJ *CN

I NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL ON EXTERIOR HEADLIGHTS ON 2011 DODGE CHARGERS, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN MAY 2010 AND NOVEMBER 2011 MY CHARGER R/T MAX WAS MANUFACTURED IN THAT TIME. BUT THIS RECALL IS NOT NOTED TO MY VIN #, I LOOKED INTO IT THE RECALL IS ON EXTERIOR HEADLIGHTS IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CHARGERS MANUFACTURED IN THE TIME NOTED ABOVE, THAT IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM IN MY VEHICLE MANUFACTURED IN THE SAME TIME FRAME. WHEN I START MY CAR THE LIGHTS TURNS ON, BUT AFTER I BEGIN DRIVING THEY TURN OFF ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

ON FREEWAY WHEN LIGHTS ON DASH ALL STARTED FLASHING. AS PULLING OVER, I LOST POWER STEERING IN MY CAR AND ALL ELECTRONICS. AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN PARK MY CAR SHUT OFF. LOOK UP THE P60 RECALL ON 160AMP ALTENATOR ON CHARGERS. I HAVE THE 180AMP THAT DID THE EXACT SAME THING BUT IS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AS IT CAN BE A MAJOR HAZARD TO ME OR OTHERS. ALL WITH NOT ONE INDICATION MY ALTENATOR WAS GOING OUT.

TAKATA RECALL ON PASSENGER SIDE AIRBACK HAS BEEN OPEN FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW, VIN LOOKUP SHOWS SINCE MAY 2016. NO PARTS AND NO REMEDY AVAILABLE, HAVE CONTACTED LOCAL DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR. I AM UNABLE TO SAFELY CARRY A PASSENGER IN THIS SEAT WHILE THE DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT REMAINS UNREPAIRED.

P60 / NHTSA 14V-634 IS A RECALL THAT IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE TO VEHICLE DUE TO MY ALTERNATOR HAVING 180 AMPS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE 180 AMP ALTERNATORS AS WELL AS IT FALLS UNDER THE SAME RECALL REASONS OF THE P60 / NHTSA 14V-634. I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY AND SUDDENLY THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD STARTED LIGHTING UP. I FELT A LITTLE UNEASY ABOUT WHY ALL THESE LIGHTS STARTED LIGHTING UP, SO I EXITED. AS I EXITED, THE WHEEL BEGAN TO LOCK UP, AND BEFORE I KNEW IT, THE CAR HAD COMPLETELY DIED. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAD NO DETECTION OF THE ALTERNATOR FAILING AT ALL AND WHILE THE CAR WAS SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR, AND CALLED TRIPLE A FOR A TOW. I WAS RELIEVED WHEN I SAW P60 / NHTSA 14V-634 ONLINE FOR A RECALL OF MY MAKE AND MODEL, BUT WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY HAD ADVISED ME THAT I HAD NO RECALLS FOR ANY ALTERNATORS. THAT IS WHEN I FOUND OUT BY CALLING THE FCA GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER THAT MY ALTERNATOR HAS 180 AMPS AND THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR 160 AMP DODGE CHARGERS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE 180 AMPS. LUCKILY, MY FAMILY WAS NOT IN THE CAR WITH ME WHILE THE ALTERNATOR FAILED. BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING IN THE CAR WOULD BE TERRIFYING FOR THEM. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG RATTLES LIKE THERE ARE PARTS LOOSE INSIDE OF IT. CHRYSLER JUST KEEP SAYING THAT THE PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE AND THAT I MUST UNDERSTAND THAT IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO MANUFACTURE PARTS AND DISTRIBUTE THEM EVERYWHERE. WITH ALL OF THE RATTLING INSIDE THIS AIRBAG DEVICE I'M FAIRLY SURE IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT MY PASSENGER WON'T SURVIVE. IN REGARDS TO THE ELECTRICAL OFTEN WHEN I TURN MY VEHICLE OFF LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROL PANEL STAY ON EVEN IF THE DOORS OPEN. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND THESE ARE NOT LIGHTS OR FEATURES THAT SHOULD BE ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF SUCH AS THE AIR CONDITIONER LIGHT. THE PROBLEM BEGAN SOMEWHERE AROUND THE END OF 2013 BEGINNING OF 2014 THERE HAVE EVEN BEEN A FEW TIMES WHEN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ALL OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS INCLUDING THE DASHBOARD GO OUT. I'VE REPORTED IT TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS AND SHOWN PHOTOS TO THE DEALER WHEN REPORTING THE PROBLEM, THEY DON'T SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND OR HAVE TOLD ME THERE IS NO PROBLEM. *TR

3 SEPARATE VEHICLE SHUTDOWNS WHILE ACCELERATING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE AND TO OVERRIDE CRUISE CONTROL. ESC AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH "ACC/FCW UNAVAILABLE VEHICLE SYSTEM ERROR" IN THE EVIC AT 30MPH. SECONDS LATER ALL WARNING LIGHTS SHUT OFF, THE TURNED BACK ON A FEW SECONDS LATER AND REPEATED CONSTANTLY. POWER STEERING WAS 100% LOST WHILE TURNING, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GO INTO A DITCH. AT ABOUT 25MPH, AGAIN AT 35MPH, AND AGAIN AT 40MPH, MY CAR HAD BRIEFLY APPLIED THE EBRAKE BY ITSELF, EVEN THOUGH THE EBRAKE WAS FULLY DISENGAGED, AND A CLICKING SOUND COULD BE HEARD COMING FROM THE SHIFTER. THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO ZERO, THEN WARNING LIGHTS TURN OFF AGAIN AND SPEEDOMETER GOES BACK TO NORMAL FUNCTION. BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY STIFF, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STOP. WHEN I CAME TO A FULL STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, THE EBRAKE PREVENTED ME FROM ACCELERATING, THEN I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER THE INTERSECTION, THE BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED ON, SPEEDOMETER STAYED AT 0, AIRBAG LIGHT STAYED ON. DINGING CONSTANTLY, AS CARS NORMALLY DO WHEN YOU FIRST START THEM ( ABOUT 1 DING A SECOND). RADIO AND MOST INTERIOR LIGHTING SHUT OFF, HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF, THEN CAME BACK ON AND STARTED FLICKERING, ACCOMPANIED BY A "BATTERY SAVER MODE" MESSAGE ON THE EVIC. WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED MOVING, BUT VERY SLOWLY. ENGINE SOUNDED WINDY, LIKE A SIREN FROM A FIRE TRUCK AND ENGINE WAS NOTICEABLY LESS POWERFUL. BURNING SMELL FROM ENGINE. ONCE STOPPED, CAR WOULD NOT RESTART, AND ALMOST NO POWER TO ANY AREA OF THE CAR. REPLACED BATTERY, WHICH FIXED NOTHING. WINDOW WAS STUCK DOWN, SO WE PULLED THE BATTERY AND PUT IT ON A CHARGER TO SEE IF IT WAS CHARGED, AND PUT IT BACK IN THE CAR. THE BATTERY WAS CONNECTED ABOUT 45 SECONDS, WITH THE ENGINE OFF BUT THE CAR IN ACC MODE, AND ALTERNATOR STARTED SMOKING. 20 CEL CODES. *TR

BATTERY SAVE MODE MESSAGE, CAR MESSAGE CAME UP, LOST POWER TO RADIO, AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. HAD THE ALTERNATOR TESTED AND IT CAME BACK OK AND REPLACED BATTERY. IT WORKED FOR A DAY AND GOT THE SAME MESSAGE AND RADIO SHUT OFF AGAIN.

WHEN THE CAR IS FILLED WITH GAS, IT EMITS A STRONG ODOR OF GAS AND LEAKS UNDER THE REAR PASSAGE SIDE OF CAR APPROX. 16 INCHES IN FRONT OF REAR TIRE. AS THE TANK GETS LOWER OF FUEL, THE SMELL IS NOT AS STRONG AND LEAK DISAPPEARS. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED. IF THE CAR IS DRIVEN WITH A FULL FUEL TANK, THERE IS A STRONG GAS ODOR INSIDE THE CABIN. THIS SMELL LESSENS AS THE FUEL TANK EMPTIES. I HAVE TAKEN VIDEO OF THE EXTERIOR FUEL LEAK APPROX.17 HOURS AFTER FILL UP THAT SHOW A STEADY FUEL DRIP EVERY 12-15 SECONDS.

DRIVER SEAT BELT RETRACTOR IS STUCK AND CAN NOT PULL OUT TO BUCKLE. SEAT RELINE DOES NOT COME BACK UP IT WILL TIL BACK BUT MUST PULL HARD TO BRING UPRIGHT

ON JULY 11TH 2016 I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED AN OVERWHELMING SMELL OF GASOLINE. 5 DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CODE DETECTED A SMALL EVAP SYSTEM LEAK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SPORADICALLY ILLUMINATES AND THEN TURNS OFF ON ITS OWN. THE SMELL OF GASOLINE GOES AWAY WHEN THE TANK IS HALF FULL. WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, GASOLINE DRIPS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE. UPON RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET I DISCOVERED ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM THAT OVER 40 PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS SAME ISSUE. THE FUEL PUMP CONTINUES TO PUMP GAS ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THE GAS TANK LEAKS WHEN THE TANK IS OVER HALF WAY FULL. ACCORDING TO OTHER COMPLAINTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM CHRYSLER AND DODGE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS SAME PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES. DODGE AND CHRYSLER REFUSE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THEY REDESIGNED THE FUEL SYSTEM AFTER THE 2011 AND ALSO RECALLED THE HEMI MODEL FOR THE SAME ISSUE. CHRYSLER/DODGE HAS YET TO RECALL THE FUEL SYSTEM ON MY V6 MODEL. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR. CAN AN INVESTIGATION BE OPENED ON THIS ISSUE SINCE THERE IS 50 COMPLAINTS ONLINE THAT DATE ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2012? A GAS TANK SHOULDN'T NOT "WEAR-OUT" AND LEAK AFTER 5 YEARS.... DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE OR BECOME SEVERELY INJURED FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE? MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINED OF ALTERNATOR ISSUES, IT TOOK A FIRE TO OCCUR FOR CHRYSLER TO FINALLY RECALL THE ALTERNATOR ON THE DODGE CHARGERS. IT SEEMS THAT CHRYSLER DODGE IS JUST WAITING FOR A CATASTROPHIC EVENT TO OCCUR BEFORE THEY DECIDE TO RECALL THIS ISSUE...THATS WHAT IT TOOK FOR CHRYSLER TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR, EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS RECORDED! *TR

I REPLACED THE STRUTS IN JULY AND NOW THE CONTROL ARMS IN DECEMBER. THE SHOP I WORK WITH STATED DODGE HAS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THESE COMPONENTS AND A RECALL SHOULD BE IN PLACE. I REACHED OUT TO DODGE AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE ISSUED RECALLS FOR THIS WITH OTHER VEHICLES, BUT NOT THE CHARGER. I HAVE PAID OVER $1200 DOLLARS TO REPLACE PARTS THAT I AM TOLD SHOULD BE RECALLED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS LOW VOLTAGE ON THE BATTERY, WHICH KEPT BEING DRAINED WITHOUT WARNING. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED BY THE CONTACT, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. ALSO, THE LATCHES FAILED TO FUNCTION ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOORS. THE DEALER REPLACED BOTH LATCHES. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE ENGINE, AIR BAG, AND BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS), 16V043000 (STRUCTURE), 15V467000 (AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELTS), 14V643000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), 14V101000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING), 13V118000 (AIR BAGS), AND 12V497000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS WHEN FILLING GAS TANK UP I WOULD SMELL A STRONG GAS ODOR IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR. AFTER THE GAS LEVEL WOULD START TO GO DOWN THE ODER WOULD GO AWAY. WELL, THE LAST FEW DAYS THE ODOR GOT REALLY STRONG AND IT DIDN'T MATTER HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN THE TANK, IT MADE ME AND MY FAMILY REALLY NAUSEOUS, AND AFTER A FEW DAYS OF THIS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED SPUTTERING LIKE IT WANTED TO STAUL OUT. WELL FINALLY AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF THIS THE ODOR GOT SO STRONG THAT IT MADE ME VERY FATIGUED AND SICK, YOU CAN SMELL THE GAS IN MY CLOTHES AND MY EYES STARTED TO BURN. MY CARS ENGINE IS CLUMPING LIKE THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO GO OUT SO I PARKED IT AT HOME AND SHUT IT OFF. I'LL HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. I'M SURE IT'S GONNA BE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE'S CAR WITH THE TUBE LEADING FROM GAS TANK REFULE DOOR TO TANK. HOW THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED IS BEYOND ME BECAUSE IT'S AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES.

THE MANUFACTURER HAS A RECALL (P60) ON THE CAR BUT I'M NOT COVERED SINCE I HAVE A 180 AMP ALTERNATOR. I ALMOST HAD A MAJOR ACCIDENT IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY ATLANTA EXPRESS WAY BECAUSE MY CAR SHUT OFF AND BLOWING A SMELLY AIR OUT OF THE VENTS. THE POWER WAS LOST AND IT HAD A MESSAGE SAYING BATTERY SAVER MODE. THIS IS NOT RIGHT THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER MY CALL AND IT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT OTHERS CHARGERS ARE HAVING AND THEY ARE COVERED. IF SOME WOULD HAVE LOST THEIR LIFE THEN THEN WOULD BE OUT OF MORE THAN FIXING A CAR.

(RE: 2011 DODGE CHARGER, 3.6L. ENGINE, 180AMP ALTERNATOR.) DODGE HAD A RECALL ON THE 3.6 L, 160 AMP. ALTERNATOR. MY CAR HAD THE EVERY SAME PROBLEM (11/20/2016) WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, CALLED DODGE AND WAS TOLD OUR CAR WAS NOT IN THE RECALL BUT IF THEY RECALLED LATER THEY WOULD REIMBURSE. WE BELIEVE THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED, THE CAR SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY AND WE WERE VERY LUCKY IT HAPPENED AT A LOW SPEED, COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF GOING HIGH SPEED BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING , AND STEERING, BRAKES, EVERYTHING IS GONE. THE TOW DRIVER HAD TO REMOVE THE CONSOLE TO GET IT IN N TO MOVE. THE BILL FOR THE REPAIR IS OVER A $1000.00, DODGE SHOULD PAY ALL OR AT LEAST SOME OF THESE BILLS FOR T HEIR CUSTOMERS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE ENGINE FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

ALTERNATOR FAILED WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WITH A CHILD AS PASSENGER, APPROXIMATELY 4 MINUTES AND 1 MILE FROM HOME, RESULTING IN A FIRE IMMEDIATELY AFTER PULLING OVER. FIRE OCCURRED AFTER VEHICLE STOPPED. DODGE REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY ISSUES WITH ALTERNATOR DESPITE RECALL ON SAME EQUIPMENT FOR V6 ENGINES.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS). HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP A STRONG ODOR OF GAS IS OBSERVED INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE CAR AND AREA AROUND THE CAR UNTIL IT GET'S DOWN TO ABOUT 1/2 TANK OF FUEL. I'VE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND COSTING US CONSUMERS LIKE $1,000.00 TO $1,800.00.

BLIND SPOT DETECTION UNAVAILABLE- I PURCHASED A DODGE MOPAR 11 CHARGER THAT HAS A SAFETY FEATURE CALLED BLIND SPOT DETECTION. THE BLIND SPOT INDICATORS ARE LOCATED ON THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDE VIEW MIRRORS. WHEN A CAR APPROACHES EITHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, A LITTLE ORANGE TRIANGLE LIGHTS UP TO LET THE DRIVER KNOW THAT ANOTHER VEHICLE IS IN ITS BLIND SPOT. IN JUNE OF 2016, I STARTED MY CAR AND AND I GOT THE "BLIND SPOT DETECTION UNAVAILABLE" ERROR ON MY HUD. IN ADDITION, BOTH TRIANGLES ON THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS WERE ON. AFTER CONDUCTING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND A WAY TO TURN OFF THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM THROUGH THE CARS SETTINGS. HOWEVER, THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS AND WHEN THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION IS TURNED ON, THE TRIANGLES LIGHT UP AND THE SYSTEM SAYS ITS NOT AVAILABLE. THIS FEATURE WAS NOT INCLUSIVE TO JUST DODGE CHARGERS, BUT ALSO OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM. THERE ARE SEVERAL THREADS AND VIDEOS ONLINE OF DISGRUNTLED OWNERS OF CHRYSLER VEHICLES THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE LEARNED FROM TALKING TO THE DEALER, THAT MY CAR (DODGE MOPAR 11 WHICH HAS 36K MILES ON IT) HAS TWO SENSORS THAT ARE LOCATED IN THE BUMPER OF THE VEHICLE THAT COST $1,100 A PIECE EXCLUDING INSTALLATION OF THE NEW SENSORS. IN ESSENCE, THIS IS A "LATENT" SAFETY DEFECT OF POOR DESIGN AND COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO THE LOSS OF LIFE. IF I HAD KNOWN THAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE WAS INTRINSICALLY DEFECTIVE, I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DEFECT IN THEIR BLIND SPOT DETECTION EQUIPPED VEHICLES AND ISSUE A RECALL THAT RESOLVES THE SAFETY ISSUE.

MY VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A WHINING NOISE AND I STARTED SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING, THE BATTERY SAVER MODE CAME ON AND THE ABS AND I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND POPPED THE HOOD AND MY ALTERNATOR IS FRIED LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND IT WON'T START OR I CAN'T JUMP IT. I WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT AND MY CAR IS STILL IN THAT PARKING LOT RIGHT NOW

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A RANDOM ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY SHORTED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN THREE TIMES, BUT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE BULBS WERE REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE PROGRESSED. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V101000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER WAS UNCERTAIN OF WHEN THE MANUFACTURER WOULD SUPPLY THE PARTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

IN AUGUST MY CAR OUT OF NOWHERE WARNED AND ACTIVATED ITSELF FOR BATTERY SAVER MODE AND NOT LONG AFTER THAT SAME DAY THE CAR LOST ALL POWER CAUSING ME TO LOOSE TOTAL CONTROL OF BRAKES AND STEERING AS WELL AS UNABLE TO UNLOCK MY CAR TO GET OUT. IMAGINE THE FEAR I HAD ESPECIALLY HAVING MY FIANCE AND DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME. THANKFULLY NO COLLISION OCCURRED BUT WHAT IF? THE BATTERY DIED BECAUSE THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED POWER TO PERFORM ITSELF. WHY? DODGE CHARGER R/T MOPAR 5.7 HEMI. AUTOZONE CHARGED MY BATTERY AND CHECKED IT FOR FREE AND DIAGNOSED IT AS A HEALTHY BATTERY. WHEN INSTALLING THE BATTERY BACK I TURNED ON MY CAR TO DIAGNOSE IT WITH THE SENSOR READER THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING AND THE BELT BEGAN TO SMOKE UP AND WHISTLING LOUDLY RIGHT AWAY TURNED IT OFF BUT NOT BEFORE GETTING THE CODE P60 BUT MY CAR DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THAT RECALL CUZ ITS A V8.. SO IF I WOULD OF DIED THEN WOULD MY CAR BEEN ELIGIBLE CUZ U GUYS WOULD ACTUALLY LISTEN THAT ALL DODGE WITH ALTERNATOR 160 AMP ARE FAULTY. I DON'T GOT $$ TO BE THROWING I FIXED IT ONCE AND THE SAME DASHBOARD LIGHT KEEPS WARNING ME AND BEFORE IT KILLS MY ALTERNATOR I CHARGE THE BATTERY DOING THIS EVERY TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR CANT IMAGINE A GIRL SEEMS TO KNOW MUCH MORE THAN THE DEALERSHIP MECHANICS OR WHOEVER DECIDES WHAT CAR QUALIFIES FOR RECALL. *TR

MY DODGE CHARGER LAST NIGHT WOULD NOT START. I GOT IT JUMPED AND IT STARTED, I LEFT THE CABLES HOOKED UP FOR A WHILE THEN UNHOOKED THEM. AFTER UNHOOKING THE CABLES THE CAR STILL WOULD RUN BUT LIGHTS STARTED POPPING UP ON THE DASH, I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND THE WIPER BLADES CAME ON, RADIO TURNED OFF, BATTERY POWER SAVER CAME ON AND ALL THE ABS LIGHTS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ETC CAME ON AND THE CAR JUST CUT OFF. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND COMES TO FIND OUT THAT IS THE ALTERNATOR AND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN THE 2011 TO 2014 DODGE CHARGERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V101000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED RANDOMLY, AND THE AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING FUNCTIONS FAILED TO WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE ACTUATOR, COMPRESSOR, AND THERMOSTAT WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE DROVE ROUGHLY. THE CONTACT ALSO RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WERE ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2011 DODGE CHARGERS CONCERNING A WIRING HARNESS THAT EFFECTS THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. FOR SOME REASON, ONLY CERTAIN MODELS WERE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY MODEL (R/T) IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT IS LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE RECALL NUMBER IS PO8

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A FUEL ODOR WAS PRESENT INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

AS I APPROACHED MY CAR THERE WAS A HEAVY ODOR OF FUEL. THE NEXT MORNING UNDER THE BACK RIGHT TIRE THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF FUEL. I REMOVED THE BACK SEAT AND UNDER THE COVER THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF FUEL ON TOP OF THE PLASTIC OF THE GAS TANK. DODGE HAS BEEN CLEARLY MADE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND SINCE CHANGED THE DESIGN OF THE GAS TANK. FOR ME TO REPLACE IT WOULD COST ME OVER $2,000. THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY DODGE ASAP. THIS PUTS MY FAMILY AND I IN GRAVE DANGER BEING THAT OF THE ELECTRICAL WIRE THAT RUN ALONG SIDE THE UNIT. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I FILL MY TANK AND IT IS A CONTINUAL DRIP. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY SAID THEY "KNOW" NOTHING OF SUCH ISSUES. ALL IT WILL TAKE A ONE DROPPED CIGARETTE TO CLOSE TO THE CAR AND THINGS WILL BE BAD.

CAR DIED AT INTERSECTION WITH ALMOST NO WARNING. LOST ALL POWER WITH IN 1 MIN OF STALL. ALTERNATOR IS FRIED. CAME TO A STOP AND WITHIN 30 SECONDS A BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID "BATTERY SAVER MODE". BELLS STARTED TO DING AND THE WIPERS TURNED ON. TRIED TO PULL OVER AND CAR STALLED IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. TURNED HAZARDS ON AND 1 MINUTE LATER THERE WAS NO POWER AT ALL. WHEN WE TRIED TO JUMP THE CAR IN ORDER TO CLOSE THE WINDOWS AND SUNROOF, THE CONNECTORS STARTED TO SMOKE WHERE THE JUMPERS WERE CONNECTED. FOR A HIGH PERFORMANCE CAR THERE IS NO ALTERNATOR WARNING OR GAUGE TO DETERMINE IF IT IS STARTING TO FAIL. THAT ONLY SHOWS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THEY DO NOT WANT CUSTOMERS TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING. CAR WAS RUNNING PERFECTLY FINE UNTIL THAT POINT.

YESTERDAY CAR WAS FINE, NO ISSUES. THIS MORNING, I STARTED MY CAR AND THE TOUCHSCREEN WOULD NOT TURN ON, THE RADIO WILL NOT WORK, BUT THE AC WAS SET TO FULL BLAST, WHICH I DID NOT DO. I COULD NOT TURN THE AC DOWN OR OFF. I TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, BUT THE ISSUE WAS STILL THERE. I ALSO TRIED DRIVING IT A LITTLE, PARKING IT BACK IN MY DRIVEWAY, AND TURNING IT OFF AND BACK ON. 5 HOURS LATER I TRIED IT ALL AGAIN, NO RADIO, THE AC IS STILL BLOWING FULL BLAST AND THE TOUCHSCREEN IS STILL BLACK AND NOT OPERABLE, AND NOW THE EVIC IS SUDDENLY SPEAKING IN GERMAN AND THE EVIC STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS WILL NOT WORK. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYWHERE SINCE I AM NOT SURE WHAT ELSE IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A STRONG FUEL ODOR IN THE VEHICLE AND A FUEL LEAK. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL FILLER TUBE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE PART BEING ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

WHEN LEAVING MY HOUSE ONE DAY MY RADIO CUT OFF WITHIN 1 MINUTE OF THE CAR BEING STARTED. I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND ALL SOUND WENT OUT AGAIN WITHIN 1 MINUTE. I RODE MY WHOLE TRIP WITH NO SOUND. UPON ARRIVING TO MY DESTINATION I NOTICED MY CAR WAS IN BATTERY SAVER MODE (A MODE THAT I HAVE NEVER SEEN). MY BATTERY HAS BEEN BAD BEFORE AND I NEVER RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE. WITHIN A WEEK MY CAR WOULD NOT EVEN START AND HAD NO ELECTRICAL POWER. I ATTEMPTED TO DO RESEARCH ON THE BATTERY SAVER MODE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS ISSUE WITH MY CHARGER IS ACTUALLY A COMMON ISSUE AND WAS A RECALL FOR THE V6 CHARGERS BUT NOT THE V8S. THE ISSUE IS THE ALTERNATOR AND I AM TRULY UPSET THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT CREATED A RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL HONDA'S AND TOYOTA'S AND NEVER HAD AN ALTERNATOR ISSUE. THIS IS PATHETIC AND GOES TO SHOW HOW DODGE/CHRYSLER VALUES THEIR CUSTOMERS. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT THIS WILL PROBABLY BE MY LAST DODGE VEHICLE IF THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT SOLVE THIS ISSUE.

"TAKATA RECALL" FOR THE PAST YEAR OR SO I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVE WITH MY DEALER ONLY TO HAVE THEM TELL ME THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS CAUSING ME AND MY FAMILY STRESS AND A HARDSHIP SINCE THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE. THE DEALER ONLY TELLS ME NOT TO WORRY SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN NO INCIDENTS RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH REGARDING THIS ISSUE. MY QUESTION TO THEM IS WHY THEN ARE ALL THIS PARTS BEING RECALLED. I FEEL THAT THE PASSENGER AS WELL AS THE DRIVER ARE BEING PLACE IN HARMS WAY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TIME AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT MAYBE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE AND THEN AGAIN NOT IN LATE DECEMBER. IS THIS NOT GAMBLING WITH ONE SAFETY?

WE HAVE A GAS SMELL FOR SOME TIME ,AND WE TOOK IT TO DEALER SHIP AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING , THIS HAPPENED WHEN WE HAVE A FULL THANK, SO THIS MORNING I DID IT AND WE CAN SEE THE GAS LEAK FROM THE TANK AND WE ARE SCARE THAT THIS MAY CATCH ON FIRE,.I READ THAT THERE IS 6 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING. AND THEY TRIED TO FIX IT ,.AND COST LIKE 2000 ,. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THEY DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPEND,.

STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WHENEVER GAS TANK IS FULL. WILL MAKE DRIVER LIGHT HEADED.

I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE STREET AND MY CAR SUDDENLY DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING 30 MPH. SMOKE WAS COMING FROM MY HOOD MOST LIKELY FROM A SMALL FIRE. THE ALTERNATOR DIED ON ME AND MY CAR DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I ALMOST GOT IN AN ACCIDENT BUT I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR WITH NO POWER LUCKILY. THE ALTERNATOR ALSO KILLED MY FUSES AND DESTROYED THE BATTER SO ALL OF THAT WAS REPACED.

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

AS I WAS DRIVING I SMELLED A BURNING ODOR AND ALSO NOTICED MY VEHICLE GOING INTO A BATTERY PROTECT MODE...RADIO, AIR CONDITIONER SHUT OFF. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR. I ENTERED MY VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE HAD NO POWER AT ALL TO START IT TO MOVE IT OR GET IT OUT OF GEAR.

I FILLED MY CAR UP, 20 MINUTES LATER, THE CAR REEKED OF GAS. I GOT OUT AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE, AND THERE'S GAS LEAKING FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE BY THE BACK TIRE. I LOOKED ONLINE, AND THERE ARE COMPLAINT'S DATING BACK TO 2012. INCLUDING ONES ON THIS SITE. I'M HOPING DODGE ISSUES A RECALL SOON. BECAUSE I'M CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY.

I HAVE A 2011 DODGE CHARGER RT. THE ALTERNATOR FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AS I WAS DRIVING. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE. THERE WAS NO POWER IN THE CAR. THERE WAS A SMALL ELECTRICAL FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE COVERED UNDER RECALL P60/NHTSA 14V-634 FOR 2011 THROUGH 2014 MODEL YEAR DODGE DURANGO, CHRYSLER 300, DODGE CHALLENGER, DODGE CHARGER AND 2012 THROUGH 2014 MODEL YEAR JEEPGRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 3.6L ENGINE AND A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. THE SAME BEHAVIOR EXISTS IN MY VEHICLE, WHICH HAS A 5.7-LITER ENGINE. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN OVERSIGHT BY THE MANUFACTURER. IF YOU PERFORM A GOOGLE SEARCH YOU WILL FIND THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH THE 'HEMI' MODEL CHARGER FOR THAT YEAR RANGE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS.

GAS LEAKS WHEN TANK IS ABOVE 3/4 FUEL. IT LEAKS BESIDE THE RIGHT REAR TIRE,AND IT GIVES OFF A VERY STRONG ODOR INSIDE CABIN. THIS IS A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. THE GAS WILL LEAK UNTIL UNDER 3/4 TANK OF GAS.

ALTERNATOR DIED OUT OF NO WHERE AT 56K MILES AND THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET AND ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT , THEN POWER AND ROLLED INTO A PARKING LOT. ALMOST GOT KILLED DRIVING AND CAR WENT CRAZY WITH ALL LIGHTS AND NOW IS DEAD.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED REDUCED PERFORMANCE. THE ABS LIGHT AND OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE RADIO WENT OFF. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY AT WHICH TIME THE CAR HAD THE BRAKE LIGHT COME ON AND SMELLED LIKE IT WAS BURNING. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE CAR OFF BUT THE SMELL CONTINUED TO GET WORSE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL GARAGE WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ALTERNATOR HAD BEEN ON FIRE. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, IT WAS DISCOVERED THE RECALL P60 EXISTS FOR 2011 DODGE CHARGERS. THIS IS ONLY FOR THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. MY CAR HAS THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR. UPON CONTACTING DODGE, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. WITH ONLY 67,000 MILES ON THE CAR, THIS TYPE OF FAILURE SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER.

VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

ABOUT 30 MINUTES AFTER REFUELING I NOTICED A STRONG FUEL INSIDE AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT THINKING THE MAYBE FUEL SPILLED DOING REFUELING. ON THE NEXT FILL UP I NOTICED THE SAME ODOR. THIS TIME I DECIDED TO CHECK TO SEE WHERE THE ODOR WAS COMING FROM. WHILE PARKED, I NOTICED FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM UNDER THE CAR NEAR THE REAR RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR. IT WAS A CONTINUOUS DRIP. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ISSUE AND TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS/ RECALLS. THEY STATED THAT THEY WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THEN I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE HAD BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NEED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE SOME SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. DUE TO THE COST OF THE REPAIR, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THIS FIX. I HAVE NOTICED AS LONG AS I DIDN'T FILL THE TANK PASS 3/4 TANK, THE FUEL DOESN'T LEAK. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO BATTERY SAVER MODE WITHOUT WARNING.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE DOING 65 MPH (AND ONCE WHILE DOING 25 MPH) MY LIGHTS, STEREO AND SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT AND CAR SPEED DECREASED. ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHT UP/FLASH THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS EVERYTHING GO BACK TO NORMAL. HAVE HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. AND ON TWO OCCASIONS THE POWER STEERING FUSES HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY KEEP GETTING BLOWN OUT. HAVE HAD ALTERNATOR EXCHANGED AT LAST RECALL. FEARFUL THAT VEHICLE MAY STOP IN THE LINE OF TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY! HAVE VIDEO OF INCIDENT AS IT WAS HAPPENING. NO PICTURES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE PARKED, THE AIR BAG AND TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

ALTERNATOR SMOKING. ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON FIRST, THEN A WHINING NOISE DURING THE FOLLOWING WEEK. THEN DEAD BATTERY. WHEN BATTERY REPLACED, ALTERNATOR STARTED SMOKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND AFTER REFUELING, A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL WAS NOTICED. THE CONTACT NOTICED FUEL LEAKING FROM AN UNKNOWN AREA OF THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE AND THE ENGINE CHECK WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

OUT OF NO WHERE AND FOR THE PAST 8-10MO., MY 2011 CHARGER HAS BEEN LEAKING FUEL. ANYTIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED WITH FUEL OVER 3/4 FULL, IT LEAKS ONTO THE GROUND OF THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK TIRE AND FUMES FILL THE CABIN, SO BADLY YOU CAN'T DRIVE IT UNLESS ALL THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN, SO YOUR NOT ASPHYXIATED BY THE FUMES. THE FUEL ODOR IS SO BAD THAT YOU COULD SMELL IT FROM A DISTANCE IN MY DRIVE WAY.THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON FOR THIS REASON AND MY A/C RECIRCULATE WILL NOT WORK (AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION), AS WELL AS THE AUTO START ON THE KEY FOB. I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP AND THEY REPLACED THE FIRST SEAL. ALL SEAMED TO BE FINE UNTIL I FILLED UP WITH GAS WHICH WAS THE DAY AFTER THE REPAIR. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A SIDE SEAL THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THAT REPAIR DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I GOT UNDER MY CAR TO SEE WHERE IT WAS LEAKING FROM AND HOW MUCH WAS LEAKING AND I SHOT A VIDEO. I COULDN'T ATTACH THE VIDEO, BUT IT APPEARS THAT IT IS LEAKING DIRECTLY FROM THE TANK ITSELF. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON OTHER COMPLAINTS IT IS A MANUFACTURE'S DEFECT OF THE TANK ITSELF, AND OVER TIME CAN NOT SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE FUEL. WITH THE BATTERY AND CABLE'S BEING EXTREMELY CLOSE TO THE LOCATION OF THE TANK AND LEAK, THIS IS AN EXPLOSION WAITING TO HAPPEN. IF SOMEONE DROPS OR LIGHTS A CIGARETTE NEAR OR BY THIS LOCATION IT IS AN EXPLOSION WAITING TO HAPPEN. MERELY STARTING THE VEHICLE IS A RISK. THE INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ACCELERATED. ITS SAD THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE, BEFORE SOMETHING IS RECTIFIED. THE VEHICLE IS NOT OLD ENOUGH FOR IT TO BE A "WEAR AND TEAR" ISSUE. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK 65MPH, ALL LIGHTS ON DASH WENT OUT, RADIO WENT DARK, A/C BLEW SUPER HOT AIR AND BLINDED ME AND ENGINE DIED AND WOULDN'T RESTART. I HAD TO CAREFULLY GET OFF ROAD ON THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE EAR TO FIND SMOKE COMING FROM 5.7L ENGINE. SMALL FIRE FROM ALTERNATOR! ALMOST HIT 5 CARS AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY 3. THIS IS THE SAME ALTERNATOR FROM THE PREVIOUS P60 RECALL, BUT ISN'T COVERED BECAUSE RECALL ONLY AFFECTS 3.6L ENGINES. WHY WOULD THE RECALL COVER ONE BUT NOT THE OTHER?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE ENGINE MALFUNCTIONED AND THERE WAS A TICKING NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IDLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY ON THE DASHBOARD, IT COULD HAPPEN WHILE I'M DRIVING OR WHILE I'M STATIONARY. ONE DAY IS LIT THE NEXT DAY IS OFF, I'M AFRAID THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WHAT IF I GET INVOLVED ON AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DONT FUNCTION PROPERLY? I HEARD ABOUT A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR SYMPTOMS AS THE ONES I'M EXPERIENCING BUT DEALER REFUSES TO FIX IT UNLESS I PAY $600

2 WEEKS AGO I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR LOT. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME FILLING THE FUEL TANK ALL THE WAY. ONCE I LEFT THE GAS STATION I STARTED SMELLING GAS FUMES. ONCE THE CAR WAS PARKED I NOTICED IT LEAKING GAS UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE IN FRONT OF THE BACK WHEEL. 3 DAYS LATER NOTICED IT WENT FROM HAVING A FULL TANK TO MISSING AN 1/8 OF A TANK. WHILE IT WAS SITTING AT WORK IT CONTINUOUSLY DRIPPED FUEL UNTIL I HAD A FLATBED PICK IT UP TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE LOT. PULLED THE BACK SEAT AND THE COVER FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND THERE WAS STANDING GAS AROUND THE FUEL PUMP. VERY BAD DESIGN TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP AT AN ANGLE FOR IT TO LEAK THAT BAD IF A SEAL GOES BAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE LEAKED FUEL IN THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL WELD, NEAR THE EXHAUST PIPE AND THE BATTERY LINE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE O-RING AROUND THE FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED, BUT THE ISSUE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE SMELLED OF FUEL AND DRIPPED GASOLINE INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. SO I WENT TO PEP BOYS TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE A LEAK ON MY LINE THAT GOES FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR TO THE BACK OF THE CAR. THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO CHANGE OUT MY WHOLE LINE SINCE IT IS ONE PIECE. I ASKED WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED AND THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THE LINE WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE FRAME OF MY CAR. SINCE IT HAS BEEN RUBBING AGAINST MY FRAME, IT CAUSED A FRICTION THAT ULTIMATELY CAUSED A TEAR ON MY LINE AND STARTED THE LEAK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE BATTERY, ABS, AND STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A SAFE LOCATION. THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,600.

V8 MODEL, CAR WENT INTO BATTERY SAVE MODE AND SHORTLY AFTER THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. CAR ALMOST DIED AND I WAS FORTUNATE TO MAKE IT TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A BAD ALTERNATOR THAT WASN'T OUTPUTTING ENOUGH FOR THE CAR. CAR WAS IN MOTION AND IT WAS A COMBINATION OF STREET AND ROADWAY DRIVING.

44,000 MILES AND ALTERNATOR FAILED RESULTING IN 1000.00 EXPENSE.

TRUNK LATCH STOPPED WORKING AND TRUNK LIGHT AND TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON AND NO TRUNK AJAR ALARM LIGHTING UP ON THE DASHBOARD. STATIONARY. THE DEALER STATED THE LATCH WAS FRIED AND HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT AND BUTTON.

HAD A STRONG SMELL OF ELECTRICAL FIRE FOLLOWED BY BATTERY LIGHT AND BATTERY SAVER MODE, THEN SHORTLY AFTER THEY WHOLE CAR SHUT DOWN ALL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON A 4 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. UPON CHECKING FOUND THE ALTERNATOR HAD BURNT OUT AND IT WAS NOT CHARGING THE BATTERY. UPON CHANGING THE ALTERNATOR AND HAD NO ISSUES. HOWEVER I DO NOT BELIEVE A FIVE-YEAR-OLD CAR SHOULDN'T NEED AN ALTERNATOR! NOT TO MENTION AFTER I FIRST BOUGHT IT THEY CHANGED EVERY COMPUTER IN THE CAR AND EVERY MODULE IN THE CAR DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE! I'M SCARED TO PARKETTE IN MY GARAGE BECAUSE OF ALL THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO CRASH INTO A WALL. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC SHOP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V467000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELT). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET AT ABOUT 40MPH. HAD TO UTILIZE MANUAL TRANSMISSION TO OPERATE VEHICLE. DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT, THOUGHT IT WAS MY FAULT. HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTER ALSO WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING AS WELL. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 70K MILES, THIS OCCURRED AT ABOUT 62K MILES. LOW BEAM LIGHTS ALSO GOING OUT OCCASIONALLY. HAVE NEVER RECEIVED RECALL INFORMATION REGARDING THESE ISSUES BUT HAVING THESE ISSUES NON THE LESS.

I WAS DRIVING, WITH MY SON IN THE CAR, AND MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED. MY WINDOWS, STEERING, BRAKES,AND ETC. STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. BEHIND ME WAS AN LOG TRUCK FULLY LOADED. THANKS GOD THERE WAS JUST ENOUGH SPACE FOR HIM TO SWURVE AROUND MY CAR. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DEADLY ACCIDENT. THIS ALL HAPPEN WHILE MY CAR WAS MOVING AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IN A SAFE POSITION BEFORE STOPPING THE CAR. AFTER IT STOPPED, NOTHING WORKED IN THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ON ANY CARS LIKE MINE SUFFERING FROM THE SAME PROBLEM. YES THEY ARE. MY PROBLEM IS THAT SINCE FRIDAY THE 29TH OF APRIL MY CAR STARTED SMELLING LIKE GASOLINE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. WITH THE ELECTRICAL DEVICES AND HEAT GENERATING DEVICES THIS COULD END UP A DEATH RELATED CATASTROPHE. MY COMPLAINT IS WHY HAVEN'T YOU AS A SAFETY ORGANIZATION DONE SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. PEOPLE WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM AND EVEN WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER THEY KNEW. I AM 72 YEARS OLD ON A FIXED INCOME OF RATHER MISERLY MEANS AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO PROTECT MY FAMILY BECAUSE OF CHRYSLER CORP. FAILURE TO DO SO. I JUST GOT A CALL FROM MY DEALER AND THE COST OF FIXING MY CAR IS OVER 500.00. IS THERE SOMETHING YOU AN DO TO HELP US?

I HAVE THE V8 5.7L RT CHARGER THAT HAS A 160V ALTERNATOR. THIS EXACT ALTERNATOR WAS RECALLED IN THE V6 MODELS BUT NOT FOR THE V8??? MY ALTERNATOR WENT OUT WITH FIRST SHOWING SIGNS OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, RADIO, LIGHTS AND ETC. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS THE SAME WITH ALL THE 2011-2014 ALTERNATORS IN THE CHARGERS. SOME PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO REPLACE THESE NOT JUST ONCE BUT TWICE BEFORE THE CAR IS EVEN 10 YEARS OLD. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE ALTERNATORS?

MY SERPENTINE BELT KEEP COMING OFF JUST PAID $450 TO FIX 4 MONTHS AGO NOW IT'S COME OFF AGAIN!

MY ALTERNATOR HAS GONE OUT, AND IT IS BARLEY 5 YEARS OLD. THE RECALL IS FOR ALTERNATORS WITH A 160 AMP. THE 180 AMP IS DOING THE SAME THING, SO WHEN WILL THE RECALL TAKE PLACE FOR THIS ALTERNATOR. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS BUT, STILL NO RECALL. THE SAME MANUFACTURE FOR THE 160 IS THE SAME FOR THE 180. PEOPLE ARE BEING STRANDED BOTH LITERALLY AND FINANCIALLY. I WAS DRIVING WHEN SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM MY CAR STOPPED AT O'REILLY'S AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY ALTERNATOR. BATTERY SAFE MODE WAS READING ON THE DASH. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY ST HEADING TO WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT AN ACCUMULATION OF FUEL LEAKED ONTO THE FUEL PUMP. THE MECHANIC PLACED AN O-RING ONTO THE FUEL PUMP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,718.

VEHICLE RADIO KEEPS GOING BACK AND FORTH FROM RADIO TO AUXILIARY THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED OR IN MOTION. I ALSO GET A SYSTEMS UPGRADE WARNING WHEN I TRY TO SYNCHRONIZE THE CELL PHONE USING THE VEHICLE'S BLUE TOOTH.

MY VEHICLE AT 61K MILES EXPERIENCED THIS NEARLY CAUSING A MASSIVE ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING AT 55MPH WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSS POWER, THE CAR DOWN SHIFTED FROM OD TO FIRST CAUSE ME TO SLIDE. I RECOVERED FORTUNATELY. TO THEN LOSS ALL POWER AND STEERING. THIS ALL OCCURRED WITH IN 30-35 SECS CHRYSLER GROUP LLC (CHRYSLER) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011-2014 CHRYSLER 300, DODGE CHARGER, CHALLENGER, AND DURANGO; AND 2012-2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED APRIL 22, 2010, TO JANUARY 2, 2014, AND EQUIPPED WITH A 3.6L ENGINE AND A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE ALTERNATOR MAY SUDDENLY FAIL. IF THE ALTERNATOR FAILS, THE VEHICLE MAY STALL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. RECALL 14V634000 THIS IS VIN SPECIFIC TO 2011-2014 MY VEHICLE IS NOT IN THAT GROUP BUT HAS THE SAME ALTERNATOR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACTS RESIDENCE AND THEN AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE BATTERY SAVE MODE AND THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED A SECOND OCCASION UNDER A MANUFACTURER RECALL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A WEEK AFTER THE REPAIR, THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE THERMOSTAT WAS NOT PROPERLY CLOSED AND THAT A DIAGNOSIS NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V046000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) BUT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I PURCHASED A 2011 DODGER CHARGER 1WEEK AGO FROM TEXAN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM IN HUMBLE TX. I TEST DRIVE THE CAR ON A HALF TANK OF GAS NO PROBLEM AT THE TIME UNTIL I DECIDED TO BUY THE CAR OFF A TRADE IN. DEAL WENT GREAT IM ON MY WAY BACK HOUSTON I NOTICE THE GAS TANK IS FULL KNOW 20 MIN INTO THE RIDE I START SMELLING GAS. SO I ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN GOT HOME LIFT UP THE BACK SEAT I NOTICE THE GAS SMELL HAS GOTTEN STRONGER NOW IAM LOOKING AT THE FUEL PUMP WITH GAS ON TOP ONE SPARK HOLE CAR COULD HAVE BLEW UP...THESE MECHANIC ARE A F..K.. JOKE WHAT EVER HAPPEN TO SAFERCARS ..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A FENCE AND TREE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NOSE INJURIES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT TOWING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO UTILIZE THE JACK, BUT IT FAILED TO OPERATE FUNCTIONALLY. THE JACK WAS FRACTURED IN HALF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT HAD TO CONTACT HIS INSURANCE COMPANY TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, ANOTHER DRIVER RAN A RED LIGHT HITTING THE DRIVER SIDE (T-BONE) AS WELL AS ANOTHER DRIVER AND PUSHED INTO ANOTHER CAR.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 RT AWD DODGE CHARGER ON THE FREEWAY, AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, ALL OF THE LIGHTS (INCLUDING, THE DASH LIGHTS, THE RADIO, THE HEADLIGHTS, I AM UNSURE IF THE REAR RUNNING LIGHTS WERE INVOLVED) SHUT OFF MOMENTARILY (3-5 SECONDS). DURING THAT TIME I NOTICED A CHANGE IN THE STEERING, THE WHEEL BECAME STIFF LIKE THE POWER STEERING WAS OFF. I LET MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL BUT DID NOT BRAKE SO I'M NOT SURE IF THE POWER BRAKES WERE AFFECTED, BUT ASSUME THEY WERE. IT SOUNDS A LOT LIKE THE ALTERNATOR FAILURE RECALL INVOLVING THE 6 CYLINDER MODELS WITH THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. (I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME ALTERNATOR THAT WAS USED IN THE R/T 5.7L HEMI MODEL) THE POWER CAME BACK ON AND I DROVE THE LAST 4-5 MILES HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. I AM APPREHENSIVE ABOUT DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY NOW. LOOSING THE ABILITY TO STEER AND BRAKE AT FREEWAY SPEED COULD END IN AN ACCIDENT. AS AN ADDED NOTE, WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY SMELL (ELECTRICAL) NEAR THE ENGINE, THERE WAS NOT.

MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR VARIOUS RECALLS. THE FIRST RECALL WAS FOR A DEFECTIVE WIRING HARNESS THAT CAUSED FUSED TO TRIP. THE REPAIR CORRECTED THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT TIME BUT THE FUSES CONTINUE TO TRIP. THE LATEST RECALL IS FOR AN ALTERNATOR PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING PROPERLY UNTIL THE ALTERNATOR LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE LOST STEERING AND THEN ALL POWER AFTER THE ALTERNATOR LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. WHO IS REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR. THEY CLAIM THE BATTERY IS "SHORTED" AND MUST BE REPLACED. THEY CLAIM THAT BATTERY IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

2011 DODGE CHARGER WITH 85,000 MILES HAS STRONG FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND ON THE OUTSIDE REAR PASSENGER PANEL. PANEL CODE INDICATED EVAPORATION LEAK. DODGE TECH FOUND FUEL PUMP SEAL LEAKING VAPOR INTO CABIN AND FUEL UNDER REAR PASSENGER SEAT. TECH REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND O-RINGS AT A TOTAL COST OF $525.

EVERY TIME I FILL THE CAR UP WITH GAS TO FULL I SMELL FUMES INSIDE THE CAR. ALSO, IF THE CAR IS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WHICH IS AT A DOWNWARD SLOPE, FUEL RUNS DOWN THE FUEL LINES AND ONTO THE PAVED BLACKTOP, LEAVING TWO VISIBLY LARGE GASOLINE STAINS. UNTIL THE CAR HAS BURNED OFF HALF OF THE FILLED TANK, THE ODOR OF GASOLINE IS SO STRONG IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR IT GIVES ME BAD HEADACHES AND I HAVE TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN TO GET FRESH AIR. THIS HAS BEEN A NOTICEABLE PROBLEM FOR 6 MONTHS. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE JULY OF 2011. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE CAR MAY CATCH ON FIRE IF I CAN SMELL THE GASOLINE FUMES FROM INSIDE MY CAR.

MY ALTERNATOR WENT OUT AROUND 45K MILES IN 2013/2014. I HAD IT REPLACED; IT HAS SINCE BEEN RECALLED, BUT DODGE REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT IN EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF SOMETHING ELECTRICAL BURNING ALONG WITH A LOSS IN ELECTRICAL POWER. IN 2016, AT AROUND 75K MILES, FUEL STARTED LEAKING FROM JUST IN FRONT OF THE REAR PASSENGER-SIDE TIRE. THE GASKET BETWEEN THE TANK AND PUMP WAS REPLACED. AFTER THE NEXT FILL UP, THE LEAK BECAME WORSE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO ANOTHER SHOP. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WAS DRIVING IT ONTO THE TRUCK, GAS WAS SPRAYING DOWNWARD WITH A GOOD AMOUNT OF PRESSURE. THE SECOND SHOP ALSO SUSPECTED THE GASKET DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE FUEL SYSTEM. THEY ALSO REPLACED IT, BUT THE LEAK PERSISTED. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY HAD DEVELOPED A CRACK. I DON'T APPRECIATE THE THOUGHT OF DRIVING SOMETHING THAT COULD CATCH ON FIRE OR WORSE. APPARENTLY, THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS "REDESIGNED" POST 2011 MODELS. DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT A FUEL SYSTEM ISSUE CAN RESULT IN A MAJOR HAZARD. AN OIL CHANGE SHOP EVEN COMMENTED ON THE STRONG GAS SMELL AND WARNED OF THE DANGER.

I HAVE THE FOLLOWING ISSUES WITH MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER SE: 1 - THE VEHICLE HAS "CLICKING" NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEN POWERING ON THE VEHICLE'S HEATER. THE NOISE LASTS FOR ABOUT 25 SECONDS BEFORE IT STOPS. THIS IS A CONSTANT RE-OCCURRENCE. THE NOISE ALSO OCCURS RANDOMLY, BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS POWERED ON AND OFF. 2 - THE TRUNK KEEPS POPPING OPEN EVERY TIME I START THE VEHICLE. IT ALSO OPENS RANDOMLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY, EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS LOCKED AND SECURED. THE ONLY METHOD TO OPEN THE TRUNK NOW IS FROM THE BUTTON INSIDE THE VEHICLE LOCATED ON THE DASH. 3 - THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS SOMETIMES HESITANT WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT HAVE OFFICIAL PAPERWORK PERTAINING TO THESE INCIDENTS AS OF CURRENT, HOWEVER, I AM FINDING THAT PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS MAKE AND MODEL IN SIMILAR YEARS ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES.

I HAVE A 2011 DODGE CHARGER R/T AWD MAX AND ABOUT A YEAR AGO SOME OF THE "RACETRACK" TAILLIGHT LED'S STARTED GOING OUT ON THE BOTTOM ON EACH SIDE. NOW THIS WINTER I WENT OUT TO STORAGE TO START IT UP AND I NOTICED THAT I NOW HAVE EVEN MORE LED'S THAT ARE OUT. NOT ONLY DO I VIEW THIS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THESE LED'S ESSENTIALLY ACT AS THE CARS REAR RUNNING LIGHTS, BUT IT IS ONE OF THE KEY FEATURES OF THIS CAR AND IT LOOKS REALLY CRUMMY WHEN THEY GO OUT. AND I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD MANY PEOPLE THAT OWN 2011-2014 DODGE CHARGERS HAVE THIS ISSUE. I THINK DODGE SHOULD STEP IN AND REPLACE THE CENTER SECTION OF THE TAIL LIGHTS. HERE IS A VIDEO WASNT MADE FOR THE PURPOSE OF SHOWCASING THE TAILLIGHT ISSUE BUT YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBER OF LED'S THAT ARE OUT ON EACH SIDE ON THE BOTTOM. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=K3T3BZDRM3M

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE HEADLAMPS AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE VEHICLE JERKED. I HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DODGE DEALER SHIP I RECEIVED A CALL AND STATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I REPLACE BOTH THINGS AND CAR STILL HAVING SAME ISUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY SHORTED OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS EACH TIME THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED THE MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC MODES FOR THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS. THE FAILURE PROGRESSED TO THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHTS AND THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY SHORTED OUT. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO MANUFACTURER RECALL TO ADDRESS THE REPAIR. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V467000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS). THE DEALER SCHEDULED A REPAIR APPOINTMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

MY VEHICLE WAS LEAKING GAS NEAR THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR AFTER I FILLED UP. WHEN I TOOK IT TO HAVE IT CHECKED THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS A LEAKING SEAL AND FIXED IT. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER WHEN I FILLED UP AGAIN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. AFTER KEEPING MY CAR FOR NEARLY 8 HOURS THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE FUEL TANK ON THE CAR CANNOT HOLD THE WEIGHT OF A FULL TANK OF GAS WHICH CAUSES A SEPARATION NEAR THE SEAL WHICH IN TURN CAUSES THE LEAK. I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO PAY FULL COST TO REPAIR IT. THEY OFFERED TO HELP PAY FOR THE REPAIRS BUT SAID THEY CANNOT FIX IT FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE IT IS NOT A RECALL AND MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) WAS RECEIVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED AN INSPECTION AND CLEARED THE RECALL. IN OCTOBER OF 2014, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION AND STOPPED OPERATING. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO REPLACE THE LIGHT BULBS. IN FEBRUARY OF 2016, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURES THAT INCLUDED THE WIRE HARNESS BURNING AND THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTIONING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, A STRONG SMELL OF FUEL WAS NOTICED WITHIN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT OBSERVED DROPS OF FUEL LEAKING UNDERNEATH THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

IN OCTOBER IF 2014, THE BATTERY COMPLETELY FAILED SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING, I HAD TO REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE WITH MORE CRANKING AMPS! SINCE THAT TIME THE CAR HAS BEEN HESITANTLY STARTING AT TIMES AND WOULD SEEM TO LOSE POWER! THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. THEN ON DECEMBER 25,2015 THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER, THE BATTERY SAVER MODE CAME ON AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 45 MPH! THE ALTERNATOR WHICH IS A 160AMP AND SAME MODEL AS THOSE IN THE RECALL FOR THE 3.6L ENGINE FAILED COMPLETELY! MY CAR IS A 5.7 L HEMI!

2011 DODGE CHARGER / 82,000 MILES: LEAKING FUEL PUMP/COMPONENT ON PASSENGER SIDE. AFTER A ROUTINE FILL UP AN EXTREMELY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WAS PRESENT INSIDE OF THE CAR AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. POOL OF GASOLINE PRESENT NEAR REAR TIRE WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED. REMOVAL OF BACKSEAT REVEALED A LARGE PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. FUEL PUMP O-RING WAS REPLACED BUT TO MY DISAPPOINTMENT PROBLEM PERSISTS. CONTACTED DODGE ABOUT ISSUE BUT THEY SAID THERE WERE CURRENTLY NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH FUEL PUMP EQUIPMENT AND COULD NOT POINT ME TOWARDS A CULPRIT. EVEN AT LESS THAN HALF A TANK THE SMELL IS OVERBEARING CAUSING HEADACHES MAKING THE CAR A LITERAL PAIN TO DRIVE. THERE IS A BATTERY CABLE RUNNING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE POOL OF GAS AND THE GAS DRIPS BELOW AROUND HOT EXHAUST. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THIS WAY DUE TO THE RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. THIS IS A STATIC COMPONENT AND I FEEL THAT IT SHOULD NOT SIMPLY WEAR OUT. THERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE HERE THAT IS CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN. NEXT ITEMS TO CHECK WILL BE FUEL PUMP AND TANK ITSELF. EVEN IF ISSUE IS RESOLVED I FEAR THAT THE SMELL WILL REMAIN FOR SOME TIME. REALLY UNFORTUNATE FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS STILL BEING PAID FOR. I HOPE THIS GETS ADDRESSED SOON AS THE FUEL PUMP OR FUEL TANK ARE NOT CHEAP FIXES. THERE SEEMS TO BE QUITE A FEW OF IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS ON HERE AS WELL AS OTHER FORUMS. LOGGING A COMPLAINT NOW IN CASE A FIRE OCCURS THAT DESTROYS THE CAR, PROPERTY OR INJURY. ITS ENCOURAGING TO SEE OTHER HAVE REPORTED THE SAME FAILURE BUT I CANNOT LOCATE ANY RECALL INFORMATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE HEADLAMPS AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE VEHICLE JERKED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT INDEPENDENTLY DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. UPDATED 04/20/16*LJ

2011 DODGE CHARGER / 50,733 MILES: WHEN ADDING 5 OR MORE GALLONS OF FUEL INTO THE TANK, THERE'S A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE CAR AND GAS IS LEAKING BY THE BACK TIRE. LIFTING THE SEAT, THERE'S A PUDDLE OF GAS. LOGGING A COMPLAINT NOW IN CASE A FIRE OCCURS THAT DESTROYS THE CAR, PROPERTY OR INJURY. ITS ENCOURAGING TO SEE OTHER HAVE REPORTED THE SAME FAILURE BUT I CANNOT LOCATE ANY RECALL INFORMATION.

FILLED UP WITH GAS AND HAD A STRONG SMELL IN CAR AFTER CHECKING I FOUND OUT THAT THE GAS TANK WAS LEAKING AROUND THE FUEL PUMP SEAL HAD IT REPLACED AND STILL LEAKS IF YOU FILL ABOVE 3/4 TANK THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD DUE TO GAS LEAKING ON THE GROUND IF SOMEONE DROPPED A CIG. ON THE GROUND WHERE THE GAS IS IT COULD EXPLODE AND THE FUMES INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CANT BE GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH,I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE TO FIX .I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR 11/23/2015

MY DODGE CHARGER HAS ABOUT A 43,000 MILES AND I NOTICED A GASOLINE ODOR IN MY CAR, SO I STOPPED TO LOOK TO SEE IF GAS WAS LEAKING FOR MY CAR AND IT WAS LEAKING GAS COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. I HAD MY CARE TOWED TO MY NEAR BY MECHANIC SHOP AND THEY FOUND THAT THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM MY FUEL PUMP. I CALLED DODGE TO REPORT THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID, ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS UNSAFE TO HAVE GAS LEAKING FROM A CAR AND ESPECIALLY WITH JUST 43,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILURE

HELLO I READ ON A LOT OF 2011 CHARGERS OF THE SMELL OF GAS WHEN U FILL UP THE CAR THE INSIDE OF THE CAR STILL SMELL STRONG LIKE IT'S LEAKING SOMEWHERE IT SAYS IT'S A DEFECTED GAS TANK.I HAVE THAT ISSUE GOING ON NOW AND WAS WONDERING WHY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS SITUATION SINCE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS? THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE MY KIDS ARE IN THE CAR INHALING THESE FUMES.

AS I TURNED OFF A MAIN STREET TOWARDS A RESIDENTIAL AREA, I GOT A LOW BATTERY INDICATOR ON MY DASH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY RADIO TURNED OFF BY ITSELF AND MY CAR BEGAN TO MAKE A WINDING TYPE NOISE AND THEN MY TRACTION INDICATOR AND OTHER INDICATORS LIT UP ON MY DASHBOARD. THE CAR STALLED AND BEGAN TO SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD. I COULD NOT TURN THE CAR ON, CLOSE THE WINDOWS OR OPEN THE TRUCK OR EVEN GET IT IN A GEAR THAT I COULD PUSH THE CAR, IT WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND POSED A REAL DANGER ESPECIALLY IF I HAD BEEN ON THE FREEWAY! I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND WAS ADVISED THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I NOTICED OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH ALMOST IDENTICAL ISSUES AS WHAT I EXPERIENCED WITH MY CAR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST BUT IT NEEDS TO BE. MY CAR BARELY HAS 50,000 MILES AND IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, ALL THE VEHICLE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

AS I TURNED TO PULL IN MY DRIVEWAY, ALL AT ONCE THE ABS LIGHT AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH, THE POWERSTEERING QUIT WORKING, ALL AT THE SAME TIME THE VEHICLE HAD BEGUN MAKING A LOUD HIGH PITCHED HUMMING NOISE WITH SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD THAT HAD A VERY INTENSE BURNING, ELECTRICAL TYPE SMELL. THEN THE DASH FLASHED THAT THE CAR WAS IN BATTERY SAVER MODE, SUBSEQUENTLY DYING ALTOGETHER. UPON HAVING TOWED THE CAR TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED TO A) REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR B) REPLACE THE BELT AND C) REPLACE THE BATTERY BECAUSE THE ALTERNATOR CAUSED IT TO GO BAD. THE TOTAL FOR ALL REPAIRS WILL BE $1224. I STILL DON'T HAVE THE VEHICLE BACK, BUT I'VE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ONLINE AND LEARNED THAT THERE IS A RECALL (RECALL NUMBER P60) INVOLVING SOME 2011-2014 MODEL YEAR DODGE CHARGERS AND THEIR ALTERNATORS. SEEING AS MY VEHICLE IS A 2011, AND I AM HAVING THIS EXACT ISSUE, I NEED TO KNOW WHY MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL. HAVING ALTERNATOR FAILURE WHEN MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD IS UNACCEPTABLE, NOT TO MENTION, IT IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE TO LOSE POWERSTEERING, ABS AND ESC AS THE VEHICLE SMOLDERS FOR HOURS EVEN AFTER COMPLETELY DYING.

STRONG FUEL ODOR NOTICED AFTER FILLING UP FUEL TANK. VISIBLE FUEL LEAK NOTICE UNDER RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR WHILE CAR PARKED. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. LEAK THOUGHT TO BE CAUSED BY PROBLEM WITH O-RING ON PASSENGER SIDE FUEL TRANSFER PUMP. O-RING REPLACE. SEEMED TO RESOLVE PROBLEM UNTIL NEXT FILL UP. THEN LEAK RETURNED. SEAL CHECKED, AND ANOTHER NEW O-RING INSTALLED. LEAK CONTINUED. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION AFTER VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF THE HONEY COMB SURFACE OF THE FUEL TRANSFER PUMP SEEMS TO BE FILLING WITH GAS AFTER VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF. MECHANIC CONTACTED DODGE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THAT A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON THE HEMI MODELS FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM. HOWEVER NO RECALL IN PLACE FOR THE 6 CYLINDER MODEL. FUEL TRANSFER PUMP REPLACEMENT RECOMMENDED. NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANT. AS THIS FUEL LEAK OCCURS DIRECTLY UNDER THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT AND FUEL SEAMS TO PUDDLE IN THIS AREA CAUSING FUEL VAPOR TO ENTER PASSENGER COMPARTMENT THIS SEEMS TO BE A LEGITIMATE SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BY DODGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERNAL EVAPORATION LEAK, WHICH CAUSED CARBON MONOXIDE TO EMIT INTO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,657.

I HAVE A 2011 DODGE CHARGER, AND I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUNK IT JUST OPENS FOR NO REASON. ALSO THE ALTERNATOR WENT OUT, AND THEY CLAIM MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST BUT IT HAS THE EXACT ALTERNATOR AS THE ONES ON THE RECALL LIST. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

I HAVE A 2011 CHARGER R/T AWD AND HAD THE BATTERY SAVER MODE COME ON YESTERDAY, ALONG WITH A WINDING NOISE AND ELECTRICAL BURNING ODOR. AFTER THIS THE CAR WOULD NOT START NO MORE AND THE BATTERY DRAINED. JUST GOT A CALL FROM DODGE IT IS MY ALTANATOR GONE BAD. THEY HAVE A RECALL WITH THIS ISSUE FOR OTHER VEHICLES BUT NOT MINES AND ITS THE SAME TYPE ALTANATOR.

AFTER REFILL INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE SHOWED HEAVY GAS SMELL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND DISAPPEARED RANDOMLY. AFTER 2ND REFILL GAS SMELL RETURNED. LOCAL DEALER SUGGESTED EVAP CANISTER REPLACEMENT. WHEN CHECKING MORE THOROUGH IT SHOWED DURING REGULAR IDLE FUEL PUMP ON PASSENGER REAR WAS LEAKING DURING PRESSURE BUILD UP. ONCE FILLED GAS STARTED DRIPPING BEHIND RIGHT REAR WHEEL NEAR HOT EXHAUST PIPE. AFRAID THAT VEHICLE COULD CATCH FIRE DUE TO BATTERY WIRING BEING LOCATED IN IMMEDIATE AREA OF LEAK.

MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER V8 HAS LESS THAN 27K MILES AND MY ALTERNATOR WENT OUT LAST WEEK. $619.99 LATER, I DID RESEARCH TO FIND OUT THERE IS A RECALL BUT ONLY ON THE V6 ENGINE, NOT THE V8. I THINK DODGE NEEDS TO INCLUDE THE V8'S IN THIS RECALL AS THERE IS NO REASON MY ALTERNATOR SHOULD HAVE GONE OUT THIS SOON!!

ON SEPT 27,2015 WITHOUT WARNING MY GEAR SHIFT BECAME STUCK IN PARK. I WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER FROM ANOTHER PART OF TOWN WHO WAS STRANDED BY HERSELF FOR 1 HR PLUS. AS A CAR OWNER I'M LIVID BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN A DANGER AND INCONVENIENCE. THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THESE ISSUES. I KNOW I'M NOT THE FIRST AND WONT BE THE LAST WITH THIS COMPLIANT. THIS PART SHOULD BE PLACED UNDER INVESTIGATION AND THE PART SHOULD BE RECALLED.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WIRING HARNESS, OVER HEATED AND CAUSE HEAD LIGHTS TO GO OUT.

I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME FROM WORK WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON THE FREEWAY. ALL THESE LIGHTS CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD FROM TRACTION ABS BATTERY CAME ON. LUCKILY I COULD PULL OVER I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON BUT IT DID IT ANOTHER 3 TIMES BEFORE I GOT HOME VERY UNSAFE.

AFTER A REPAIR OF THE ALTERNATOR AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER AND BEGINNING OF OCTOBER 2014, A FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT ALSO IN OCTOBER 2014, AND THE RECALL REPLACEMENT OF THE ALTERNATOR IN JUNE 2015, THE CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT ON MY DODGE CHARGER LIT UP AGAIN IN AUGUST 2015. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR YET ANOTHER REPAIR ONLY FOR THEM TO RUN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIAGNOSTIC AND FOUND ANOTHER FUEL SYSTEM LEAK. HOWEVER, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO SCHEDULE ME FOR A REPAIR UNTIL SEPTEMBER 1, 2015. AFTER TAKING THE CHARGER IN FOR REPAIR, FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC DISCOVERED THE FUEL FILLER TUBE WAS AT FAULT AND A REPLACEMENT WAS NECESSARY. I HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED AND TWO DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT HAS LIT BACK UP. I HAD TO TRAVEL FOR WORK SO I WILL UPDATE WITH MY NEXT COMPLAINT ONCE IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED.

A WEEK AFTER MY INITIAL REPAIR/REPLACEMENT ON THE ALTERNATOR (NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL AT THE TIME) OF MY CHARGER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND YOU COULD SMELL GAS THROUGH THE AC SYSTEM. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP GARAGE AND THEY SCANNED THE CHECK ENGINE SYSTEM WHICH RETURNED A MINOR LEAK, BUT DUE TO THE FUEL SMELL, THEY ADVISED I DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR AND LEAVE IT WITH THEM FOR REPAIR. AFTER FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC I NEEDED TO GET THE RIGHT SIDE FUEL PUMP REPLACED ON THE CAR.

ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY

BROUGHT VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP DUE TO A "BATTERY SAVER MODE" MESSAGE IN MY EVIC, ALONG WITH A SLIGHT WINDING NOISE HEARD IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND A SLIGHT ELECTRICAL BURNING ODOR. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE ISSUE AND SENT ME HOME. NEXT DAY, THE SAME MESSAGE APPEARED IN MY EVIC AND A VERY STRONG ELECTRICAL BURNING ODOR COULD BE SMELT COMING THROUGH MY VENTS IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY OBSERVED BOTH THE MESSAGE AND STRONG ODOR. POPPED VEHICLES HOOD AND A VERY STRONG ELECTRICAL BURNING ODOR WAS OBSERVED AND THE OUTSIDE OF THE ALTERNATOR WAS BLACK AND HOT. THEY INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE V-8, BUT THERE WAS FOR THE V-6 ALTERNATORS (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000) AND EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THE AFFECTED BUILD DATES, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. WHEN I WENT OUT TO MOVE MY VEHICLE FROM WHERE I HAD PARKED, THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND EMERGENCY BRAKE (WAS NOT ENGAGED) LIGHTS WERE ON. WHEN VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON AND VEHICLE STALLED OUT. CURRENTLY WAITING TO SEE IF WARRANTY COMPANY WILL COVER THE ALTERNATOR.

I OWNED AND PURCHASED MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER SINCE 5-17-2014. ON 7-13-2015, MY SON WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE ART INSTITUTES OF ATLANTA/DECATUR, THE 2011 CHARGER HE WAS OPERATING WOULD NOT CRANK. AFTER THE WRECKER ARRIVED TO GET READY AND TOW, THE CAR CRANKED AND HE MADE IT HOME FROM DECATUR, GA TO MCDONOUGH, GA. THE NEXT DAY, 7-14-2015, I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T CRANK TILL I CALLED A WRECKER ON 7-16-15 TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO LANDMARK DODGE IN MORROW, GA. THEY CALLED ME ON 7-20-2015 AND INFORMED ME MY WARRANTY OR CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COVER THE ISSUE BOTHERING THE CAR (LOST ENGINE GROUND AND MELTED GROUND WIRE, LEFT SIDE ENGINE AT MOTOR MOUNT). THEY TESTED THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM, STARTER, STARTER WIRING AND RELAY, AND TIGHTENED ALL ENGINE GROUNDS, REPLACED ENGINE GROUND LEFT SIDE AT MOTOR MOUNT. IT WAS REPAIRED ON 7-20-2015. THE REPAIR CAME UP TO $308.29 (PARTS AND LABOR). PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER ON THE 2011 CHARGER BEFORE IT HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ELSE AND IT REALLY COSTED ME. UPDATED 9/28/15 *LN. UPDATED 12/13/2017*CN

ON 7-25-15 I FILLED CAR UP WITH GAS AND AFTER DOING SO SMELLED A STRONG GAS SMELL ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. I CAME HOME AND PARKED THE CAR. MY HUSBAND WENT OUTSIDE NEAR THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED SMELL AND BEGIN TO DO A WALK AROUND THE VEHICAL AND NOTICE THAT IT WAS LEAKING GAS FROM THE TANK. HE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AND PULLED OUT THE BACK SEAT AND NOTICE THE GAS WERE COME FROM AROUND THE SEAL OF THE GAS TANK. HE SAID WE NEED TO GET SOME OF THE GAS OUT OF THE TANK. WE DRIVE IT A DISTANCE TO SEE IF THE SMELL WOULD GO AWAY BUT IT NEVER DID UNTIL IT WERE AT A HALF OF TANK. HE THEN ON 7-27-15 REPLACED THE SEAL AND WENT BACK TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL THE CAR UP AGAIN AND THE STRONG FUEL SMELL RETURNED AND THE TANK BEING LEAKING AGAIN. I THEN STARTED TO LOOK AND SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND NOTICED IT SEEMS TO BE A KNOW DANGEROUS ISSUE WITH THE GAS TANK ON THIS VEHICLE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO ASAP. I AM SO AFRAID THAT IF SOME THROWS SOMETHING FLAMMABLE NEAR THIS VEHICLE ITS GOING TO IGNITE. VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS RESOLVING!!

FIRST THE ABS AND ESC LIGHTS CAME ON THEN THE MESSAGE BATTERY SAVER MODE THEN THE RADIO TURNED OFF AND THE AC STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR THEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TRIED TO START IT BUT IT WOULD NOT START BUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID COME ON FOR 1 PASS AND THE SPEEDOMETER AND TAC ALSO DID 1 PASS LEFT TO RIGHT AND BACK SLOWLY. CHECKED THE INTERNET AND SEEN OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM CAUSE BY THE ALTERNATOR AND THEIR IS A CURRENT RECALL ON THE V6 BUT I HAVE THE HEMI V8. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DODGE DEALER.

6/19/15 THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ORIGINALLY FOR A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR. AFTER THE JOB WAS COMPLETED I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND HAD TROUBLE SHUTTING IT OFF. AFTER SHIFTING IT THROUGH THE GEARS SEVERAL TIMES IT SHUT OFF. THE NEXT DAY I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT WEEKEND AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND IT SHUT OFF FINE. THE NEXT DAY THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THIS TIME THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD TO SHIFT IT THROUGH THE GEARS AND IT WOULD BE FINE. ALSO TOLD THAT THE ONLY WAY TO SHUT THE CAR OFF WAS TO REMOVE A FUSE TO THE FUEL INJECTION. TRULY NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER. 7/13/15 THE CAR WOULDN'T SHUT OFF AT ALL. DROVE IT TO THE DEALER AND IT'S BEEN THERE EVER SINCE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS BY THE DEALER, LITHIA DODGE, MEDFORD, OR. THE LATEST IS AN ACTUAL DODGE CORPORATE ENGINEER IS SUPPOSED TO CALL THEM BACK. NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW A CAR CAN BE DESIGNED WITHOUT AN ALTERNATE WAY TO SHUT IT OFF IF THE PUSH BUTTON START AND STOP DOES NOT WORK. THE DATES ARE APPROXIMATE AS MY PAPERWORK IS IN THE CAR.

ON 07/20/2015 AT AROUND 1:15 I PARKED MY VEHICLE IN CONCORD MILLS MALL PARKING LOT, WENT IN TO RETURN A PRODUCT. I RETURNED TO MY CAR AROUND 1:25, ATTEMPTED TO START MY VEHICLE(PUSH BUTTON START) IT CYCLED TO THE "RUN" POSITION, BUT THE CAR DIDN'T START. AFTER ABOUT 4 ATTEMPTS I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG BECAUSE I SMELT A "BURNT ELECTRICAL SMELL". I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND POPPED MY HOOD, I TOOK A LOOK AROUND AT ALL PHYSICAL FEATURES OF THE ENGINE TO TRY AND LOCATE A VISUAL PROBLEM. NOTHING WAS VISIBLE TO MY EYE, I THEN GOT BACK INTO THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN, AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS I CALLED TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO ASK A COUPLE QUESTIONS ON WHAT MIGHT BE GOING ON, AFTER SOME SPECULATION WE CAME TO CHECK MY FUSES. I THEN EXITED THE VEHICLE AND TOOK A LOOK AT MY FUSE BOX LOCATED UNDER MY HOOD, I NOTICED THAT I HAD A 30AMP 58V "BOXED SHAPED FUSE" THAT HAD BLOWN. I VISITED A NEAR BY ADVANCE AUTO PARTS STORE TO PURCHASE A FUSE, THEY DID HAVE ONE SO I PURCHASED THE FUSE AND RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE TO INSTALL. ONCE I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE I DISCONNECTED MY "+ POSITIVE" BATTERY TERMINAL AND INSTALLED THE FUSE. AFTERWARDS I RECONNECTED THE BATTERY TERMINAL AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN I GOT NOTHING, I ALSO CHECKED THE FUSE AND IT HAD BLOWN AGAIN. I THEN CONTACTED A TOW TRUCK AND WAS TOWED TO HENEDRICK DODGE ON 7/20 AROUND 5:45. THEY CONTACTED ME ON 7/21 AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY ENGINE WIRE HARNESS HAD MELTED!! AND THAT IT HAD SHORTED OUT MY STARTER. I'M VERY UPSET BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THIS ENGINE HARNESS COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. MY OBD DIDN'T MAKE ME AWARE OF ANY TYPE OF ISSUE OR NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVER CAME ON. MY CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED ON TIME TO FACTORY STANDARDS AT ONLY DODGE DEALERSHIPS. NO MAJOR WORK HAS EVER BEEN DONE TO MY VEHICLE BEFORE ALSO. I'M GETTING THE $1600.00 FIX BUT FEEL BOTHER THAT SOMETHING COULD CATCH FIRE.

FILLED GAS TANK ON WAY TO WORK. GOT IN CAR TO GO TO LUNCH AND NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL. CALLED MY HUSBAND (HE IS AN ASE CERTIFIED MASTER TECH, GM MASTER TECH.) HE INFORMED ME THERE MUST BE A FUEL LEAK. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HE PUT HIS SCANNER ON IT AND IT PULLED A CODE OF P0496 (SMALL LEAK DETECTED). THE SMELL WOULD GO AWAY WHEN THE GAS LEVEL WAS UNDER 1/2 TANK. WOULD ONLY FILL TO 1/2 AFTER THAT. AFTER A WEEK OR SO THE SMELL WOULD COME BACK WITH ONLY 1/2 TANK OF GAS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS STAYED ON ALL THIS TIME. HUSBAND PULLED THE REAR SEAT OUT ON JULY 11TH TO DISCOVER FUEL POOLING FROM THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER FUEL MODULE, THE GAS WAS LEAKING THROUGH THE PLASTIC. CONTACTED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. JULY 12TH WE ORDERED A NEW BOSCH PREMIUM FUEL PUMP (PART# 67774). ON JULY 17TH I RAN THE FUEL DOWN SO ONLY 1 GALLON WAS LEFT IN TANK. LET THE CAR SIT FOR 2 HRS. HUSBAND REMOVED THE MAIN PUMP, WHICH FELL APART. UPON REMOVING THE PRIMARY FUEL PUMP (RIGHT SIDE) THE PRESSURE WAS SO STRONG IT BLEW FUEL ALL OVER HIM AND THE INTERIOR OF THE BACK SEAT. THE PUMP HOLDS FUEL PRESSURE FOR WAY TO LONG AFTER IT IS TURNED OFF. NOT TO MENTION THAT THERE IS ONLY 2 PIECES OF PLASTIC/FOAM BETWEEN THE FUEL PUMPS AND THE BACK SEAT. THAT, IN ITSELF IS DANGEROUS. IS THE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE WHAT CAUSED THE PLASTIC FUEL PUMP TO CRACK AND ALLOW THE FUEL TO POOL ON TOP? I LOVE MY CAR BUT AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW. I AM NOT ONLY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY BUT ALSO THE SAFETY OF ANYONE SITTING IN THE BACKSEAT (KIDS/GRANDKIDS). WHAT IF I GET REAR ENDED AND THERE IS A SPARK THAT IGNITES THE POOLED FUEL, WILL CHRYSLER THEN ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AFTER MY CAR EXPLODES? THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. CAN'T THE NHTSA DO SOMETHING TO HELP? MA 10/8 UPDATED 11/28/2017*CN

STARTED MY VEHICLE AND AS I DROVE AWAY FROM PARKED, WARNING MESSAGE (BATTERY SAVING MODE). ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER 2 MILES, CAR BEGAN TO SMELL OF "ELECTRICAL BURNING". WHEN CAR STOPPED, ALL POWER LOST. OPENED HOOD AND ALTERNATOR WAS SMOKING. HAD CAR TOWED TO DODGE, AND AM TOLD NO RECALL ON MY VIN (5.7L ENGINE), EVEN THOUGH THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT THE 3.6L ENGINES HAVE AND ARE RECALLED. I AM SEEKING FULL REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE COST OF THIS $786!

ALTERNATOR FAILURE IN A 4 YEAR OLD CAR. WOW. DRIVING DOWN THE AUTOBAHN AT 130KPH, AND YOUR CAR SHUTS OFF, NOT COOL. SHOULD HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH BEFORE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL HAD A LOUD METAL ON METAL SCRAPING NOISE, BOTH WITH BRAKING AND WITHOUT BRAKING, IN BOTH DRIVE AND IN REVERSE POSITIONS. THE NOISE ONLY LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO MILES AND COULD NOT BE REPLICATED, WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE TIRE PLACE. THEY DID REPLACE SOME BRAKE HARDWARE ON THAT SIDE, SAYING THAT IT WAS A THIN METAL PIECE BEHIND THE BRAKE PAD WAS BENT. BUT NOW, TWO WEEKS LATER THE WHEEL WAS MAKING THE SAME NOISE BUT NOT AS LOUDLY AND IT ALSO WENT AWAY ON ITS OWN AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES. IN ADDITION MY DRIVERS FRONT TIRE IS TERRIBLY OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND WORE THE OUTER EDGE OF THE TIRE NEARLY BALD. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BRAKE HARDWARE OR NOT, I HAVE NOT FULLY INVESTIGATED IT YET. WHEN THE TIRE SHOP DID AN ALIGNMENT ON MY CAR THEY WERE UNABLE TO CORRECT MY ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE WAY THAT THE MOTOR WAS SITTING IN MY CAR. MY CAR IS AN ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE AND IT WAS INTO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR THE TIMING CHAIN GUIDE RECALL A YEAR AGO. MY TIRES AT THAT POINT TIME WE'RE ONLY TWO YEARS OLD NOW THEY ARE ONLY THREE YEARS OLD. THE UNEVEN WEAR ON THE TIRE HAS BEEN WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. AT THE RECALL REPAIR MY CAR HAD 33,000 MILES ON IT AND CURRENTLY MY CAR HAS 43,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON AT 18,000 MILES. *TR

RECEIVED MESSAGE ON CONSOLE WHY DRIVING "BATTERY SAVER MODE" DROVE 1 MILE AND PULLED INTO GAS STATION. WHILE PARKED AND CAR RUNNING RADIO, ABS, STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEMS ALL WENT OFFLINE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND SMELLED ELECTRICAL BURNING. OPENED HOOD AND BURNING SMELL WAS STRONGER. I RETURNED TO THE CAR AND ALL ELECTRICAL POWER WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED. TOWED TO DODGE DEALERSHIP AFTER CALLING CHRYSLER RECALL HOTLINE. *TR

I NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL IN AND AROUND THE CAR SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AFTER FILLING UP BUT I DID NOT OVERFILL OR SPILL GAS ANYWHERE. AFTER HAVING A MECHANIC DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE HE FOUND THAT THE FUEL PUMP UNDER THE REAR SEAT ON THE RIGHT SIDE WAS LEAKING AND HAD FUEL POOLING UP AT THE TOP. AS FIRST STEP HE REPLACED THE O-RING SEAL ON THE FUEL UP. AFTER REPLACING THE SEAL THERE WAS NO LEAK INITIALLY BUT IT OCCURRED AGAIN AFTER THE NEXT FILL UP. SO IT SEEMS THE LEAK ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL. SINCE THE SEAL WAS ALREADY REPLACED BUT THE LEAK IS STILL THERE I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALER WHO WILL HAVE TO DIAGNOSE IT FURTHER BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY THE GAS TANK THAT IS LEAKING AND THEY HAVE SEEN MANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS ALREADY AND I AM NOT THE FIRST ONE. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT DODGE HAS UPDATED THE FUEL TANK RECENTLY SO OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A FLAW WITH THE OLD DESIGN WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY I AM HAVING PROBLEMS. NOT ONLY IS THIS A COSTLY REPAIR WHICH IS UNFAIR TO CONSUMERS BUT IT POSES DANGER SINCE FUEL IS LEAKING UNDER THE SEAT AND COULD POTENTIALLY IGNITE AND SET THE WHOLE CAR ON FIRE. *TR

BOUGHT 2011 CHARGER IN JULY, 2014. ON OCTOBER 22ND, I NOTICED A FUNNY SMELL, BUT COULD NOT LOCATE. ON OCTOBER 24, MY CAR STARTED MAKING A WHINING SOUND THAT GOT LOUDER OVER NEXT 3 MILES. I PULLED OVER TO A PARKING LOT, NOTICE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER HOOD. I LIFT HOOD AND SEE OIL LEAKING OUT OF TIMING CHAIN COVER ONTO ALTERNATOR. MY CAR SHUT OFF, WON'T START, AND BATTERY SAVER MODE LIGHT FLASHING, GAUGES ACTING WEIRD, AND LIGHTS DIMMING.

THIS CONTINUED FOR NEXT COUPLE MILES UNTIL A COMPLETE SHUT DOWN RIGHT AT THE RAILROAD TRACKS! I BARELY GOT OUT OF LANE. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES, I GOT CAR TO START AND MADE IT OVER THE TRACKS TO A PARKING LOT. MY HUSBAND CAME, CALLED DODGE DEALERSHIP, THEY SENT TOW TRUCK THAT TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP. SERVICE MANAGER CALLED US 5 DAYS LATER, SAID IT WAS ALTERNATOR AND THEY WOULD FIX FOR $850. MY HUSBAND SAID NO, WE'RE NOT PAYING BECAUSE OF RECALL ISSUED ON OCTOBER 8TH, THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPAIR FOR FREE WITH BETTER QUALITY PARTS, AND THAT I NEEDED A RENTAL UNTIL MY CAR WAS FIXED, OR THEY COULD BY MY CAR BACK BECAUSE WE DON'T FEEL SAFE IN IT. SERVICE MANAGER DENIED RECALL, SAID IT WAS MEDIA HYPE, AND THAT HE WOULD HAVE SALES MANAGER CALL US. WE DID NOT HEAR BACK FROM DODGE SERVICE DEPARTMENT UNTIL FEBRUARY 10, 2015, WHEN THEY INFORMED RENTAL COMPANY THEY WERE NOT PAYING BILL FOR MY RENTAL FOR LAST 4 MONTHS, EVEN THOUGH MY CAR STILL NOT FIXED AND IN SAME PARKING SPACE AT DEALERSHIP IT'S BEEN IN SINCE OCT. 24.
