BEARINGS STARTED FALLING OUT, WHICH ALLOWS THE SEAT TO SLIDE FORWARD AND BACKWARDS. WITHOUT THESE BEARINGS THE SEAT WILL NO LONGER SLIDE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS, WHEN AN ADJUSTMENT IS NEEDED. HOWEVER, WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE SEAT WILL SLIDE FORWARD FOR NO REASON, OR WHEN I ACCELERATE THE SEAT WILL SLIDE BACKWARDS. MY MOM'S KNEES WERE DAMAGED DURING A MINOR COLLISION BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. SHE IS IN HER 80'S. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AND MAY THRUST SOMEONE FORWARD DURING AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. MY AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY AS I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND THIS WAS DURING A RIGHT TURN AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, SO THERE WASN'T ENOUGH SPEED TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS.

SAME ISSUE AS MANY HAVE MENTIONED ON HERE WITH DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW REPEATEDLY GOING UP AND DOWN WITHOUT STOPPING WHILE STATIONARY WITH CAR OFF, WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY AND YOU CAN'T STOP IT.

RECALL ALREADY ISSUED ON THE 2011S, YET RECALLS HAVEN'T BEEN ISSUED FOR NEWER MODELS DESPITE SAME PROBLEMS. I'M THANKFUL FOR NHTSA AND HOPING DODGE IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR LIKE NORMAL FOR THE PAST 2/12 YEARS. IT'S A 2013 CHALLENGER 5.70. MY CAR WENT DEAD WHILE DRIVING. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR, BUT, THANK GOD I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING OR ANYONE. I RAN TESTS ON MY CAR BATTERY, IT'S GOOD. INTERESTING NOTE: I HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACE SIX MONTHS AGO ON A FACTORY RECALL. THE DODGE DEALER TOLD ME IT'S NOT THE ALTERNATOR, THOUGH REPLACED IT ANYWAY. THEY SAID IT'S THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND ELECTRIC PROBLEM DUE TO A WIRE NOT COMMUNICATING TO THE BUS OR COMPUTER. (DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS I'M NOT A CAR GUY) HOWEVER, I ALSO OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 THAT DID THE SAME THING TO ME ON THE FREEWAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH. COULD HAVE DIED BOTH TIMES.AT THIS POINT, I DON'T KNOW IT DODGE IS SIMPLY MAKING CHEAP PARTS OR DODGE SERVICE IS TRYING TO TURN A 2ND ALTERNATOR REPLACEMENT INTO A PROFIT. I SAY THIS BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTER, THEN RECONNECT IT TO PULL FORWARD ON THE TOW TRUCK NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THE CAR DIES WHEN THEY REASSEMBLE IT. I ALSO SAY THIS BECAUSE THEY ARE TELLING ME THE PUMP IS DAMAGED YET I'V HAD WORK DONE THERE BEFORE WITH NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. I'VE HAD WORK AND REPAIRS DONE INCLUDING SMOG CHECKS WITHIN THE LAST YEAR WITH NO NEGATIVE READINGS INDICATING A PROBLEM OR MISCOMMUNICATION. I SEE RECALLS ON THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM, POWER STEERING PUMP AND ALTERNATOR YET NONE BASED ON MY VIN. MEANWHILE BROWNING DODGE WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1800 BUCKS.

Summary

IN OCTOBER 2018, I WENT TO YOUR DEALERSHIP (PLANET FORD) LOCATED IN HUMBLE TEXAS. I PURCHASE (DEBIT CARD) TWO VEHICLES OFF OF THE LOT. I PURCHASED A DODGE CHALLENGER 2019 (HEMI V8 RT), AND CHEVROLET TAHOE 2007. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DODGE CHALLENGER SINCE IT HAD LESS THAN 50,000 MILES HAD A BUMPER TO BUMPER COVERAGE STILL WITH DODGE. I STARTED HAVING MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE DODGE CHALLENGER. I SPOKE WITH STEWARD (WHO SOLD ME THE EXTENDED WARRANTY) AT PLANET FORD IN HUMBLE, TEXAS AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO TEXAN DODGE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE HAD MULTIPLE ENGINE PROBLEMS AND IT WOULD REQUIRE ANOTHER ENGINE TO BE PUT INTO THE CAR. IN DECEMBER, I PICKED THE CAR UP AND HAD TO PAY $160.00 DEDUCTIBLE. I LOST TIME FROM WORK, AND ENDED UP BEING FIRED. IN DECEMBER 2018, THE VEHICLE SUFFERED A THROTTLE PROBLEM. AGAIN, I HAD TO PAY $ 114.00 DEDUCTIBLE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RELEASED (AFTER A WEEK). NOW, JANUARY 2019, I HAVE AN OIL LEAK. I WENT INTO TEXAN DODGE AND SPOKE TO MRS. SHEFFIE (AFTER CALLING HER MULTIPLE TIMES), AND SHE TOLD ME THAT I MIGHT HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER DEDUCTIBLE AND THAT THE CAR HAD PRIOR ISSUES WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I TOLD HER THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A NEW ENGINE THAT TEXAN DODGE (THEIR DEALERSHIP) PUT IN AND ALSO WORKED ON THE FAULTY THROTTLE IN 2018. SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WANT SURE IF PLANET FORD (WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY) WOULD COVER THE OIL LEAK. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT A PRIOR CLAIM WAS PUT ON THE VEHICLE BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2018. NOT ONLY AM I GETTING THE RUN AROUND, BUT I KNOW THAT ACCORDING TO THE PRIOR INSURANCE CLAIM THAT WAS PUT ON THE VEHICLE THAT PLANET FORD WAS AWARE OF THE DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLE. I ALSO PAID 2 TIMES FOR DEDUCTIBLES AND NOW THE VEHICLE STILL HAS AN OIL LEAK. THANK YOU.

I TOLD THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE AFTER I FELT THE STRONG SHAKING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING MAKING DINGING SOUNDS AND TICKING SOUNDS.

Summary

SMART GLASS DRAINING BATTERY, TAKATA INFLATOR RECALL, TIMING CHAIN RECALL AND ALTERNATOR RECALL IN DEC 2017 MY DODGE CHALLENGER 13' RAN OUT OF BATTERY & WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THERE WERE 2 RECALLS, ONE BEING AN ALTERNATOR, CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN AND NOT ABLE TO BE JUMPED. AFTER 1.5 MONTHS OF TALKING TO CHRYSLER FCA RECALLS ABOUT HOW TO GET THE RECALL WORK COMPLETE, MY CAR ARRIVED AT COVERT DODGE IN AUSTIN IN JAN 2018 (I PAID FOR TOW OUT OF POCKET). FROM DEC TO MAR 20TH, I WAS WITHOUT A CAR AND COVERT /FCA WOULD NOT PUT ME IN A RENTAL WHILE WAITING ON BACK ORDERED PARTS. ON MAR 20TH, THEY PUT ME IN A RENTAL VEHICLE. APR 20TH FCA CALLED TO TELL ME: 1) ALL 3 RECALLS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED 2) THE SMART GLASS WINDOW MODULE, WHICH IS ACTUALLY WHAT IS CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN, IS STILL ON BACKORDER (ETA MAY 29, BUT NOT A FIRM ETA AND THIS PART HAS BEEN ON BACKORDER SINCE JAN) BUT THE CAR CAN BE DRIVEN WITHOUT OPERABLE WINDOWS, 3) I NEED TO RETURN THE RENTAL IN 2 DAYS AND PICK UP MY CAR. I STATED THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE A CAR WITH INOPERABLE WINDOWS (GETTING PULLED OVER AND HAVING TO OPEN MY DOOR TO TALK TO THE POLICE, EXTREMELY HOT WEATHER IN TEXAS AND NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE WINDOWS, LITTLE KIDS AND CAR SICKNESS, UNABLE TO USE DRIVE-THROUGH ANYTHING, ETC). THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT HE CAN'T COMMENT ON SAFETY, BUT THE CAR IS DRIVABLE. THE CASE MANAGER AT FCA SAID THAT SHE CAN ONLY ADDRESS SAFETY CONCERNS IN BULLETINS FROM FCA. THE SMART GLASS WINDOW MODULE HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR ME SINCE JAN 2018 AND NO CONFIRMED ETA. THIS PART HAS BEEN RECALLED ON 2012 AND 2011 CHALLENGER AND MULTIPLE OTHER MOPAR PART CARS. THERE IS A LONG LIST OF PEOPLE WAITING FOR THIS PART (PROBABLY 1000S), MANY DUE TO A RECALL. IN THE MEANTIME, I'M EXPECTED TO USE MY CAR WITHOUT WORKING WINDOWS - MEANING WINDOWS HAVE TO BE CLOSED AND CAN NOT OPEN.

IT WAS LATER IDENTIFIED THAT THE ALTEENATOR HAS GONE OUT. IT WAS REPLACED. NOW MPVING FORWARD TO 9/6/2017 MY HUSBAND AND I RECIEVE A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FROM NHTSA STATING IN BOLD PRINT AND GREAT DETAIL THAT PROMPT ACTION TO REPAIR THIS VEHICLE IS NEEDED. THE RECALL NOTICE ALSO GAVE DIRECTION ON HOW THE DEALER AND NHTSA MUST RECTIFY THE SITUATION IN A TIMELY MANNER. ACTION ON OUR END WAS TAKEN AND MY HUSBAND TOOK THE RISK OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER SURE THAT THE ISSUE WOULD VE RECTIFIED. NOW THE PART TO REMEDY THIS RECALL IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE AND NO ACCOMADATION ON EITHER NHTSA OR ANY DODGE DEALERAHIP HAS BEEN GIVEN TO MY FAMILY. THIS IS RISKING A VEHICLE BEING DRIVEN ON A ROAD THAT WAS STATED IN BOLD PRINT DETAILING THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE AND THE RISK OF INJURY AND CRASH. YET NOONE IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFTEY OF ITS CUSTOMERS. ALL THAT IS VEING ASKED IS THAT A RENTAL VEHICLE BE ACCOMATATED UNTIL THE RECALL IS FIXED. THE RECALL STATES THE VEHICLE MUST BE REPAIRED YET HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO CONTINUE ON WITH GETTING MY CHILDREN TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND MY HUSBAND AND SELF TO WORK. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED AND UPSET THAT NOTHING IS VEING DOBE TO ENSURE THE SAFTEY AND LIVES OF YOUR CUSTOMERS. YOUR TAKING THE RISK OF INJURY WITH A UNSAFE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD.

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT WAS TAKEN TO THE SHOP WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH AND THEY REPLACED THE OIL SENDING UNIT, THEN THIS YEAR WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND WHEN ACCELERATING WITH THE RPM GOING ABOVE 3 THE CAR WOULD LOOSE POWER. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AGAIN AND THEY DIDN'T FIX IT BUT UPDATED THE TRANSMISSION WHICH RESOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR A LITTLE WHILE. WELL TODAY THE TRANSMISSION STARTED AGAIN DOING THE SAME THING. I WILL HAVE TO TAKE THIS CAR BACK INTO THE SHOP. I'VE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW AND IT CURRENTLY HAS 60,250 MILES. I WAS ALWAYS A DODGE FAN BUT I THINK THIS CAR HAS CHANGED ME TO A DIFFERENT BRAND. *TR

Summary

ABOUT 25% OF THE TIME, WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT 40 MPH AND GRADUALLY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR TO BEGIN A CLIMB UP A SLIGHT HILL, THE ENGINE RPM AND VEHICLE SPEED WILL NOT INCREASE, AND THE VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO RUN AT 40 MPH WITH ACCELERATOR POSITION INCREASING FROM 10% TO 80%. DURING THIS THROTTLE RESPONSE FAILURE, THE AUTO STICK SHIFT WAS USED TO DOWNSHIFT FROM 4TH TO 3RD GEAR, THE EVIC DISPLAY CHANGED TO 3RD GEAR BUT AND TRANSMISSION REMAINED IN 4TH. AFTER 8 SECONDS OF THROTTLE DELAY (TIMING MAY VARY), THE VEHICLE WILL DOWN SHIFT AND ACCELERATE. THIS UNPREDICTABLE THROTTLE RESPONSE HAS A POTENTIAL OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT IF THIS THROTTLE RESPONSE FAILURE OCCURS DURING A SITUATION OF PASSING OR AVOIDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DODGE DEALER ON NOV 2015 AND APR 2016, AND THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND CONCLUDED THAT THE VEHICLE IS FINE. THEY COULD NOT REPEAT THE FAILURE AND TOLD ME EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. DODGE WILL NOT, OR CANNOT FIX THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS THROTTLE RESPONSE FAILURE.

Summary

I BOUGHT A 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER RT CLASSIC NEW IN MAY OF 2013 IN NAMPA, IDAHO. THE CAR CAME WITH 245/45ZR20 GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 SUPERCAR TIRES. LAST SUMMER, WE HAD ONE TIRE REPLACED DUE TO A NAIL IN THE SIDEWALL WITH THE SAME GOODYEAR TIRE (ALTHOUGH IT HAD A YEAR NEWER MANUFACTURED DATE CODE). THE OTHER 3 TIRES WERE STILL ORIGINAL. THE CAR IS NOW A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS OLD. THERE WERE ONLY 20K MILES ON THE CAR AND TIRES WHEN THIS TOOK PLACE. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR AND STORED INSIDE. THE TIRES HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PRESSURES LESS THAN 32 POUNDS OF AIR IN THEM (DUE TO SENSORS MONITORING THE TIRES). THE WEEKEND OF 7/11/15 WE STARTED OUT ON A TRIP FROM CALDWELL, ID TO KALISPELL, MT (WE WERE TAKING THE SCENIC ROUTE ON WINDY BACK ROADS). WE GOT 50 MILES INTO OUR TRIP BEFORE WE GOT A LOW AIR PRESSURE WARNING ON ONE OF THE TIRE SENSORS (THE RIGHT REAR). WE STOPPED AND HAD THE TIRES CHECKED. THEY FOUND ALL 4 TIRES AT VARIOUS STAGES HAD THE INNER SIDEWALLS COMING APART ON THE TIRES (EVEN THE NEWER ONE WITH 10K MILES ON IT). WE HAD ALL OF THE TIRES REPLACED. I HAVE THESE OLD DEFECTIVE TIRES IN MY GARAGE. I DID NOT PUT GOODYEAR TIRES BACK ON THE CAR DUE TO THEM NOT BEING AVAILABLE AT THE TIRE STORE. I HAVE WORKED ON CARS ALL MY LIFE. THESE TIRES WERE NEVER ABUSED AND THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I FEAR FOR OTHERS LIVES. IF THE SIDEWALL OF ONE OF THESE TIRES COMPLETELY BLEW OUT, THE CAR WOULD LIKELY BE UNCONTROLLABLE. I HAVE DONE SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET AND I AM NOT THE FIRST TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF TIRE. I REALLY FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. WHEN TRYING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH DODGE AND GOODYEAR, ALL THAT WAS OFFERED TO ME WAS A 'ROAD HAZARD' VOUCHER FOR $491 AND ONLY IF I PUT GOODYEAR TIRES BACK ON THE CAR. THEY WERE WELL AWARE I HAD ALREADY CHANGED THE TIRES AND DID NOT HAVE ANY INTEREST IN PUTTING UNSAFE GOODYEAR TIRES BACK ON MY CAR.

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (P60/NHTSA 14V634) STATING DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE ALTERNATOR THE CAR COULD LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND/OR CATCH ON FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. ALSO STATED THERE WERE NO PARTS TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. ON THE NIGHT OF FEB 26 I STARTED THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT OF A STORE CLOSE TO HOME AND HEARD AN UNUSUAL SOUND FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WAS ALREADY MOVING SO I DROVE THE HALF MILE HOME PULLED IN GARAGE AND OPENED THE HOOD. THE ALTERNATOR WAS SMOKING HEAVILY. I PULLED THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE TURNED IT OFF, CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL LINE AND THEY SET UP TOWING TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP FOR THE NEXT MORNING. IT TOOK 2 HOURS FOR THE ALTERNATOR TO QUIT SMOKING. THE NEXT MORNING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. NO POWER ANYWHERE FOR ANYTHING. I CALLED SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF ELK GROVE CHRYSLER AND TALKED TO A SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THE CAR COMING IN ON A FLAT BED. WAS ADVISED THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE RECALL PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT AND THAT I COULDN'T GET A LOANER BECAUSE I HADN'T TAKEN OUT THE EXTENDED COVERAGE..?? HE SAID THE FIX MAY ONLY TRAKE THE ONE DAY ANYWAY SO NO NEED FOR A LOANER. THE FIX TOOK 2 DAYS. PICKED THE CAR UP AND SEEMS OK. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT IT WAS FIXED WITH THE SAME TYPE OF ALTERNATOR THAT THE RECALL IS FOR. STILL NO ALTERNATORS AVAILABLE THAT HAVE THE PROBLEMS CORRECTED SO I' RIGHT BACK WHERE I STARTED OR WORSE, THIS WEBSITE NOW SHOWS MY CAR AS BEING FIXED AND HAVING NO APPLICABLE RECALLS. I DON'T TRUST MY CAR, NOT SURE I TRUST CHRYSLER AT THIS POINT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY DIED. I FIGURED IT WAS DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR RECALL. AFTER GETTING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS WATER IN THE INTAKE AND I MUST HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH HIGH WATER. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN THROUGH HIGH WATER. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 2013 DODGE CHALLENGERS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. HOW CAN WATER GET INTO A MOTOR FOR NO REASON AND CAUSE IT TO DIE AS YOU ARE DRIVING? IF YOU DRIVE WHEN IT IS RAINING OR IF YOU HIT A PUDDLE ON THE BLACKTOP IT IS GOING TO CAUSE YOUR CAR TO JUST DIE? IF WASN'T RAINING WHEN IT HAPPENED TO MINE AND THERE WAS NO WATER ON THE ROAD BUT IT HAD RAINED EARLIER IN THE DAY MAYBE 4 HOURS PRIOR TO THE CAR DYING. *TR

RECALL SENT TO HOME P60 / NHTSA 14V-634 FOR 160-AM ALTERNATOR PROBLEM: THE ALTERNATOR DIODES IN YOUR VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE RAPID FAILURE. VARIABILITY IN THE FAILURE MODE RANGES FROM NO OUTPUT, REDUCED OUTPUT, AND/OR A FULLY SHORTED TO GROUND CONDITION. DEPENDENT ON THE ALTERNATOR FAILURE MOD AND TIMING, VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM VOLTAGE MAY DROP TO CRITICAL LEVELS, DISABLING SYSTEMS SUCH AS ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE AND/OR CENTRAL BODY CONTROLLER. THE DRIVER WILL HAVE LIMITED OR NO DETECTION OF THE ALTERNATOR FAILING, WHICH CAN RESULT IN VEHICLE SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING AND/OR AN UNDER-HOOD ELECTRICAL FIRE. CHRYSLER INTENDS TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE FREE OF CHARGE (PARTS AND LABOR) HOWEVER, THE PARTS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION ARE CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE. CHRYSLER IS MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO OBTAIN THESE PARTS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. WILL CONTACT YOU AGAIN BY MAIL, WITH A FOLLOW-UP RECALL NOTICE, WHEN THE REMEDY PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TODAY TO SEE ABOUT ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION 800-853-1403 AND WAS TOLD THAT NONE WAS BEING PROVIDED AT THIS TIME AND THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS AN IRRESPONSIBLE RESPONSE, CONSIDERING THE ITEMS LISTED ABOVE IN THE RECALL SUCH AS ELECTRICAL FIRE AND FAILURE FOR THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE AND CONTROL ABS ETC. DURING DRIVING. I INFORMED THE CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE THAT THIS WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO PUT OUR FAMILY MEMBER BEHIND THE WHEEL AND THAT THIS WAS CHRYSLER'S BURDEN TO REPAIR IN A TIMELY MANNER OR PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION. WE CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. OTHER PEOPLE GO ON TO DRIVE THEIR RECALLED VEHICLES, ONLY TO HAVE ACCIDENTS AND UNFORTUNATELY DEATH DUE TO THESE RECALLS; (RECENT CHEVROLET IGNITION ISSUES ETC.) *TR

MY SON WAS DRIVING THIS CAR GOING BACK TO COLLEGE ON THE I 49. HE NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE TRUNK. HE STOPPED, OPENED THE TRUNK AND IT WAS ON FIRE. LUCKILY HE HAD A BOTTLE OF WATER AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. IN THE PROCESS HE BURNT HIS HAND (MINOR BURN). HE CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WHO SHOWED UP AND TOLD HIM THAT THE BATTERY OR WIRING HAD SHORTED OUT AND CAUSED A BATTERY MELTDOWN AND A FIRE IN THE TRUNK. HIS CLOTHES AND SPEAKERS WERE BURNT. THE CAR IS NOW SITTING AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN ALEXANDRIA LA. DODGE WAS CONTACTED AND SO FAR HAS DENIED ANY MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THIS CAR IS ONE YEAR OLD. I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS TYPE VEHICLE LAST YEAR. THIS MAY BE RELATED. I AM AFRAID THAT EVEN WHEN REPAIRED THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND DODGE SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

Summary

SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON FEBRUARY 2013, WE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL INDICATOR WOULD NEVER SHOW A FULL TANK OF GAS. IT WOULD STOP AT 3/4. HOWEVER, WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE ENGINE, ESPECIALLY AROUND A 1/2 OF A TANK, THE GAUGE WOULD REGISTER 1/4 TANK. ON 4/29/2013, MY SPOUSE NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WE DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THE ONBOARD COMPUTER SHOWED 68 MILES TO EMPTY AND WE NEEDED TO TRAVEL 30 MILES. AS SOON AS WE ENTERED THE FREEWAY, THE CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT START. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEALER REPLACED THE SENDING OR (ASCENDING) UNIT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 1275 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ON 1 MAY 2013 WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND MY WIFE DROVE IT HOME, I FOLLOWED IN A CHASE VEHICLE. THAT NIGHT SHE COMPLAINED OF HEADACHES(NOT NORMAL FOR MY SPOUSE). THE NEXT MORNING, 2 MAY 2013, I OPEN THE DOOR OF THE VEHICLE TO PLACE SAFETY SEATS AND WAS OVERCOME BY THE NOXIOUS FUEL FUMES. MY WIFE DECIDED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO WORK AND COULD NOT MAKE IT THERE DUE TO THE FUMES GETTING WORSE. SHE PULLED OVER AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEIR FIX WAS TO USE ODOR NEUTRALIZER WHICH NOW RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNSERVICEABLE. ONE CANNOT STAND THE SMELL. MY SPOUSE FEARS THEY CARE MAY COMBUST AT THE FIRST SIGN OF AN OPEN FLAME AND IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. DEALER WILL NOT ENTERTAIN ANY IDEAS OF CHECKING O-RING SEALS. *TR

Summary

I AM WONDERING WHO DODGE IS LYING TO NHTSA OR THE CONSUMER. I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM DODGE CUSTOMER CARE ON 3/18/2013. A CUSTOMER CARE PERSON ADVISED TO STOP DRIVING THE CHALLENGER AS THERE WAS A POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH FIRE HAZARD. DODGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO FIX, BUT HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP EVERY DAY AND THEY INDICATE THAT NO FIX HAS BEEN ISSUED BY CHRYSLER AND DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO FIND A FIX. I CALL THE CUSTOMER CARE CENTER AND THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THE FIX IS OR TIME FRAME. I LOOKED AT YOUR WEBSITE AND THE RECALL NOTICE INDICATES THAT THE WIRING TO THE STARTER IS GOING TO BE REPLACE. THIS IS NOT WHAT THE DODGE CUSTOMER CARE TOLD ME OR THE DEALERSHIP. EITHER FRAUD IS GOING ON HERE OR CHRYSLER IS TRYING TO COVER THEMSELVES. I NEED AN ANSWER TO FIX MY CAR. *TR
