2013 Dodge Charger 4 DR AWD

While driving on the interstate at a high rate of speed the MDS engaged and suddenly, the engine dies. I am unable to accelerate and have to coast across 3 lanes of traffic to reach the emergency lane. The timing chain tensioner and timing chain guides had broken into multiple pieces and the timing chain was also broken. The failure of the timing components resulted in warped values, bent push rods and catastrophic engine failure. This left me sitting in my car on the side of the interstate for several hours in the dark. There were no warning lamps or any problems with how the engine had operated before it suddenly died. All parts that have been removed from the car have been kept for inspection. There is a recall for the same OEM timing components failing and causing sudden engine failure for 2009-2012 Dodge Chargers. Dodge used the same timing tensioner, timing arm guide, and timing chains in Chargers built from 2009 to 2019. Why would the recall be extended to all years that used these parts. If they had recalled all the years those parts were used my car engine would not quit suddenly at 80mph and I have to coast across three lanes of traffic or sit in the emergency for hours waiting on a ride. .

Strong smell of gas in the inside of the cabin due to a fuel pump cracking at the top. I cannot fill up the car all the way due to the smell and gas staying in top of the fuel pump.

Gas tank and fuel pumps are located under passenger seat. The primary fuel pump is located on rear passenger side. I have been getting a gas smell after fueling. I thought maybe some gas spilled or it was my fuel filler neck so I had it checked perfectly fine. So I fueled again today and smelled gas. Lifted rear seat and noticed crack on black plastic cover. Removed and a pool of gas on top of driver side fuel pump. Researched online and found several charger challenger Chrysler owners with the same exact issues. I also found where a minor accident caused the death of 4 people car went up in flames. My kids sit in this back seat and it is very very alarming. I'm surprised that there is no recall on this as of yet. It's a well known issue amongst owner just Google fuel pooling on fuel pump. Shoot there's even a manufacturer making reinforced covers so this doesn't happen. What happens is the weight from sitting in the back seat smashes on the covers and the connectors causing the plastic fuel pump to crack after a while also possibly damaging the connectors. This is a very expensive fix it not deadly. The car almost becomes not drivable. I hope this gets addressed and all owners receive compensation.

THERE IS A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WERE IT IS CAUSING DIFFERENT SENSORS TO GO OFF,AND ON ALSO CAUSING THE AIR /AC TO NOT WORK THEN COME BACK ON. I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY CAR TO PROFESSIONALS AT CERTIFIED CAR SHOPS FOR THE PROBLEM AND HAVE SPENT ALOT OF MONEY TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM..

Power steering failure while I was driving. Luckily this did not result in an accident. no lights or warnings just went out

Engine shut off while driving on the street. My safety was at risk as cars behind me almost rear end me and just avoid me as i did not break myself . so i did not have break lights on because engine just shut off not yet made an appointment to have it check not yet , need it to be check by dealer no light no warnings at all

THE CAMBER SETTINGS ARE NOT CORRECT AND THEY ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE YOU HAVE TO BUY A REPLACEMENT CAMBER KIT TO ADJUST CAMBER TO PREVENT TIRE WEAR ON THE INSIDE THIS IS NOT NOTICEABLE TO SOMEONE JUST LOOKING AT THE TIRE WITHOUT GETTING UNDERNEATH THE CAR THIS CAUSES YOU TO REPLACE YOUR TIRES WAY BEFORE YOU NEED TO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT WAS FORCED TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY HOWEVER, AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A FAMILY MEMBER'S RESIDENCE WHERE IT REMAINED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,563. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

BRAKES- TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE OF MY CAR ISN'T HEATED UP TO THE THIRD LINE. ENGINE- LOUD TICKING. MECHANIC SAID 1 OUT OF 12 LIFTERS IN DRIVER'S SIDE CYLINDER HAS COLLAPSED. POWER TRAIN- WHEN I ACCELERATE IN OVER DRIVE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR A COUPLE DAYS. WHEN I DIAGNOSE IT, IT SAYS TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE. (OVERDRIVE FAILURE) SO I'M GUESSING I HAVE NO OVERDRIVE UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHUTS BACK OFF. (WHO KNOWS) DODGE/CHRYSTLER NEEDS TO CHECK INTO THE QUALITY OF THE CARS THEY'RE PRODUCING. I WILL NEBER BUY ANOTHER DODGE/CHRYSTLER/JEEP

THE STEERING STARTED GRABBING AND SQEALING AROUND 81K MILES WHEN I TURN. SOMETIMES IT WOULD BECOME VERY HARD TO CONTROL WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO TURN SUCH AS AT RED LIGHTS OR IN A DRIVE THRU. NO LIGHTS OR SENSORS EVER CAME ON. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE THERE ARE SEVERAL 2013 DODGE CHARGERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE TO HAVE REPAIRED. I OPTED TO HAVE IT FIXED BUT I FEEL THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. I HAD THE GEAR RACK AND PINION AND POWER PUMP REPLACED.

WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR SIGNS OF FAILURE, THE POWER STEERING WILL COMPLETELY GO OUT WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. FOR YOUNGER DRIVERS THAT HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING, THIS WILL MAKE THEM CRASH. THIS IS A POLICE PURSUIT VEHICLE, SO WE MAKE LEFT TURNS AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED THAN AVERAGE DRIVER. THIS COULD KILL A PEDESTRIAN, THE DRIVER, ANOTHER DRIVER OF A CAR THEY WOULD HIT. READING FORUMS, THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT AND VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON. PLEASE GET THIS TO RECALL STATUS. WE SERVICE OUR VEHICLES FREQUENTLY AND IT GIVES NO WARNING THAT IT IS NOT WORKING, JUST STEERING FAILURE.

THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE WENT ABOUT LIMIT AND THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE LIGHT WOULD GO ON WHILE DRIVING AND I HAD TO PARK THE VEHICLE TO COOL THE ENGINE DOWN. THIS KEEPS REPEAT VERY OFTEN, I FILLED COOLANT OIL COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN I DO THAT IT WORKS FINE FOR COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN REPEATS AGAIN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO CHECK WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE COOLANT TEMPATURE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE DEVELOPED ROCKER ARM TICK OR 'PENTASTAR TICK' FROM THE LEFT SIDE HEAD DURING A HIGHWAY TRIP , VEHICLE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING AND SLIGHTLY SHOOK CAR AT IDLE. THIS FAILURE AND THE CAUSE OF THE NOISE IS DUE TO FAULTY ROCKER ARMS

WHEN TURNING LEFT, POWER STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY, I WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE TURN AND WENT ACROSS TWO LANES OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND CRASHED INTO A DITCH. VEHICLE PREFORMED FINE PRIOR TO INCIDENT. THERE WERE 3 INJURIES IN THE ACCIDENT.

CENTER STACK SCREEN WHICH CONTROLS THE A/C IS UNRESPONSIVE. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE THE HEATER IS ON FULL BLAST AND THE LANGUAGE IS CHANGED TO GERMAN WITH NO POSSIBLE WAY OF CHANGING IT. IN DROVE IT THE PREVIOUS DAY AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL.

WHEN LEAVING ON DRIVE TODAY STEADING WHEEL HARD TO TURN AND WAS MAKING VIBRATING NOISE HARD TO TURN LEFT TO RIGHT

WHILE DRIVING DASH STARTS BLONKING AND SEVERAL ISSUES APPEARED. STEARING, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, SERVICE KEY, ABS, AND OTHERS THAT I CAN'T REMEMBER HOWEVER SHOWING 7 DIFFERENT CODES P0133, U0101 U1110 U1120 I DON'T REMEMBER ALL OF IT.

STARTED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. WHEN GOING FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR CAR RPM WOULD SPIKE HIGH THEN VIOLENTLY SHIFT GEARS. PAST FEW MONTHS IT'S STARTING TO DO IT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR ALSO. ALSO SOMETIMES WILL NOT DOWN SHIFT TO FIRST GEAR AFTER COMING TO COMPLETE STOP. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WILL START OFF IN SECOND GEAR WILL NOT SHIFT FROM 3RD TO 4TH AT ALL AND WILL NOT LET YOU SHIFT MANUALLY. HAVE TO PULL OVER PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN CAR OFF. THIS HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM IN THE PAST BUT IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND DODGE REALLY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO MAKING THINGS RIGHT.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING AND DEALER TOLD ME THE CODES POINTED TO ELECTRICAL WIRES ANS CENSORS BUT AFTER CHECKING THE ENTIRE SYSTEM THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS DETECTED.THEY ADVICE ME TO REPLACE PCM AND TUNE UP WHICH IS NORMALLY DUE AROUND 100.000 MILES.

CATALYST SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BELOW THRESHOLD BANK 1

MY AIR BAG FOR MY STEERING WHEEL IS DEFECTED, MY CONTROLS THAT CONTROL THE CRUISE, HORN AND RADIO, DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.

BLUETOOTH IS NOT WORKING IN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES. NEEDS A VERY EXPENSIVE MODULE TO BE REPLACED. THIS ALONE CAN CAUSE NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE DEATH DUE TO USING YOUR CELL PHONE NOT ON BLUETOOTH!

BACK UP CAMERA IS INTERMITTENT

WHILE DRIVING MY BATTERY LIGHT COME ON. THAT IS DUE TO ALTERNATOR MALFUNCTION. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPEN ALL MY ELECTRICAL DEVICES WHERE GOING ON AND OFF. AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND UNLOCKED DUE TO BEING A ELECTRONIC STEERING. WHAT I DID I TRIED TO PULL OVER AND STOP AT A SAFE PLACE AND WAITING AND THE VEHICLE WHEN BACK TO NORMAL MODE EXCEPT THE BATTERY LIGHT STAYED ON AND THE MESSAGE IN MY CLUSTER THAT SAID "BATTERY SAFE MODE". SO I WENT BACK HOME AND CHECKED THE VOLTAGE ON MY BATTERY THAT READ 11.8 TO 12.3. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL OF THE ALTERNATOR. THE DEALER REPLACED IT AND SAID IT'S OK NOW. I TOOK IT HOME AND ON THE WAY HOME IT HAPPEN AGAIN AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND GOT IT CHECKED. AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND CORROSION THE SIGNAL PLUG OF THE ALTERNATOR. THEY CLEANED IT AND SAID IT OK NOW. A WEEK PASSED BY AND IT HAPPEN AGAIN ALL ELECTRICAL STARTED TO TURN ON AND OFF INCLUDING THE STEERING LOCKING UP AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. AND I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN TO THE DEALER. AND NOW THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO CHARGE ME TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE IF IT'S NOT THE ALTERNATOR. CHARGING SYSTEM IS NOT PART OF THE ALTERNATOR AND THEY CHARGE FOR THAT ISSUE. ISN'T THE CHARGING SYSTEM PART OF THE ALTERNATOR LIKE THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR THAT IS IN THE PCM? IF THAT IS A BAD COMPONENT AND MAKING THE ALTERNATOR MALFUNCTION IT'S A PROBLEM FOR NOT MAKING ANY CURRENT. ALL THIS HAPPEN IN MOTION ON STREET AND ON HIGHWAY. ALL THIS STARTED ON JUNE 3 2020 TILL NOW JUNE 25 2020. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CODE WAS CAM POSITIONING SENSOR, HAD THAT REPLACED, DEALER ALSO TOLD US WE NEEDED THE COMPUTER RE-FLASHED.

THEY DUG IN DEALER AND FOUND THAT THE TIMING CHAIN GUIDE SHATTERED AND THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE. READING ON LINE THIS WAS COMMON IN THE 09 - 12 MODELS, WHY ISN'T THE 13 COVERED? *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND WENT INTO ANTI THEFT MODE. I PRESSED MY IGNITION BUTTON TO START IT UP AND IT WOULDN'T START AT ALL. I CALLED BOTH DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND THEY TOLD ME IT MIGHT BE THAT MY KEY LOST PROGRAMMING OR IT WAS MY WIN MODULE.

P60 RECALL: YESTERDAY, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR 2013 DODGE CHARGER WHEN THE BATTERY LIKE CAME ON. NOTHING ELSE HAPPENED THEN, BUT ABOUT 15 SECONDS LATER - - EVERYTHING ON THE DASH STARTED FLASHING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON, THE CAR STARTED TO JERK AND THEN EVERYTHING DIED. HE MANAGED TO COAST INTO OUR DRIVEWAY - LUCKILY WAS HEADED HOME FROM WORK AND ONLY DOING 20MPH. NO WARNING - NO NOTHING. JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN - ENTIRE SYSTEM FAILURE. NO POWER STEERING OR ANYTHING. KIND OF A ELECTRICAL SMELL IN THE CAR. AT FIRST, WE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THE BATTERY WAS LOOSE OR SOMETHING OR BAD GROUND. CHECKED THAT. TRIED JUMPING - TERMINALS STARTED SMOKING. DID A SEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT OUR VIN IS SHOWING AN UNREPAIRED P60 RECALL. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING - NOW BEING TOLD THAT IT MAY BE THE P60 RECALL, BUT WE CAN'T KNOW UNTIL WE GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP - WHO - COINCIDENTALLY HAS NO APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE FOR A WEEK, DOES NOT PROVIDE LOANER CARS (OR FREE RENTAL), AND MAY OR MAY NOT COVER THE TOWING. I THEN CONTACTED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD BE THE RECALL, BUT THEY DO NOT PROVIDE RENTALS OR LOANERS. WHAT? SO - - THEY KNOW THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE IN 1/2 A MILLION VEHICLES, BUT THEY ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT OTHER THAN TO SWITCH THE PART OUT? VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE ON DODGE'S PART AND I WILL BE PURSUING THIS FURTHER, ONCE WE HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE PART NUMBER ON THE ALTERNATOR IS THE CORRECT PART NUMBER FOR THE RECALL. I AM NOT WAITING TO GET IT UP THERE FOR THEM TO MYSTERIOUSLY LOSE THE PART OR EVEN BETTER - PRETEND THAT IT ISN'T THE RIGHT PART NUMBER. I AM FEELING VERY UNTRUSTING OF DODGE RIGHT NOW!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE AWD, AND BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING ABILITY SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO PISCHKE MOTOR OF LA CROSSE (434 4TH ST S, LA CROSSE, WI 54601), BUT IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000. *TT *TR

WHEN DRIVING, POWER STEERING RANDOMLY TURNS OFF AND DISPLAYS "SERVICE POWER STEERING SYSTEM". IT DECIDED TO SHUT OFF POWER STEERING MIDWAY THROUGH A RIGHT HAND TURN CAUSING ME TO DRIVE OVER THE SIDEWALK AND ALMOST INTO A PARKED CAR IN THE PARKING LOT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SIDEWALK. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS, I DONT FEEL SAFE LETTING MY KIDS RIDE IN THIS CAR AT ALL, ESPECIALLY SINCE I NEVER KNOW WHEN MY POWER STEERING IS JUST GOING TO RANDOMLY STOP WORKING. I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE POSITIVE SAFETY RATINGS, HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, DODGE/CHRYSLER HAS LOST ALL OF MY BUSINESS. ESPECIALLY WHEN A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP IS $1280 WHICH IS MORE THAN A COMPLETE MOTOR FOR SOME CARS. THE LIVES OF MY CHILDREN ARE WORTH MORE TO ME THAN THEY SEEM TO BE TO DODGE. UNLESS DODGE CAN DO A RECALL ON THIS PART AND FIX IT, SINCE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS HAD THESE ISSUES, THIS CAR WILL BE GOING TO A SCRAP YARD, IM NOT WILLING TO SELL IT TO SOMEONE ELSE AND POSSIBLY HAVE THEIR LIVES ON MY CONSCIENCE. *TR CONSUMER TESTIMONY IS LONGER THAN 2000 CHARACTERS, PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT.*JB

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

THE AUXILIARY FUEL PUMP MODULE LOCATED UNDER REAR SEAT WILL LEAK FUEL INTO THE CAB, CAUSING A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE AFTER FILLING UP. GAS WILL ACTIVELY LEAK OUT FROM PRESSURIZATION AND FORM A PUDDLE OF GAS THAT SITS ON TOP OF PLASTIC MODULE. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FILLED UP WITH GAS AND LEAKS OUT WHETHER VEHICLE IS RUNNING OR NOT

PREMATURE WEAR OF BUSHINGS WHICH CAUSED REPLACEMENT OF COMPLETE SUSPENSION SYSTEM. $3000 LATER I HOPE MY VEHICLE WILL BE SAFE TO DRIVE AGAIN. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2015 AND HAVE ONLY PUT 17,000 MILES ON IT SINCE OWNING IT. VEHICLE STARTED JUST SUDDENLY MAKING VERY LOUD METAL ON METAL CLANKING SOUND AND LOTS OF VIBRATION. BUMPS IN ROAD MADE THE NOISE WORSE. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE UNTIL I COULD GET IT INTO DEALER WHEN THEY HAD AN APPOINTMENT AVAILABLE BECAUSE I DID NOT WANNA INJURE OURSELVES OR OTHERS. I HAVE READ IN OTHER FORUMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. IS THIS A DESIGN FLAW? IS THERE A SUSPENSION ISSUE? I AM SCARED OF MY CAR NOW.

WIPERS CAME ON BY IT'S SELF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND WILL NOT GO OFF I HAVE HAD TO TAKE THE FUSE OUT JUS TO GET THEM OFF AND PLACE IT BACK IN WHEN IT'S RAIN IT HAS ALSO HAPPEN TO A DODGE JOURNEY THAT SOME ONE OWNS IN MY FAMILY ALSO PLEASE FIX THE PROBLEM

MY DODGE CHARGER 2013, IS HAVING PROBLEMS SHIFTING GEARS. I PUT IN ANOTHER TRANSMISSION AND IT STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. GEARSHIFT ALSO STICKS, WHILE I'M IN MOTION....

FIRST THE ABS LIGHTS CAME IN THEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON TOOK IT TO THE DELEARSHIP AND HAD IT REPAIRED NOW ITS DOING IT AGAIN. DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AT ANY SPEED THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON.

THE NUMBER 6 PISTON IS MISFIRING AND CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK. THE PART IN OTHER 2013 CHARGERS HAS BEEN RECALLED , MINE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE , BUT NOT ON RECALL LIST. IT HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY THE MOST , BUT DOES HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING TOO. IT HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND ON HIGHWAYS.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE RADIO HAS STOPPED WORKING TO WHERE THERE IS NO SOUND. UPON LOOKING UP THE ISSUE FROM OTHER DODGE OWNERS ONLINE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM.THE RADIO AMPLIFIER FUSE #27 LOCATED IN THE TRUNK OF THE VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY BURNT OUT, POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. IT IS UNSAFE TO REPLACE FUSE BACK IN THE SAME LOCATION THE HOUSING FOR THE FUSE IS MELTED AND BURNED.

THE CAR HAS NO GET UP AND GO! THERE ARE MILLIONS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS! DRIVING THE CAR WILL GO IN D1 BY ITSELF! CAR RUNS ROUGH AT TIMES AND GOOD AT TIMES ... I TOOK THE CAR TO DODGE SEVERAL TIMES ABS THEY KEEP SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG

STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS AND BLUETOOTH HANDS FREE CONNECTIVITY HAVE FAILED ON THIS VEHICLE REQUIRING $700 REPAIR INCLUDING A NEW BLUETOOTH MODULE. THE VEHICLE CAN NO LONGER SUPPORT THE HANDS FREE SAFETY FEATURES THAT ARE ESSENTIAL FOR MOBILITY CONNECTIVITY AND SAFETY DURING PHONE CALLS. USERS ARE UNABLE TO REBOOT RADIO DEVICES ON THIS VEHICLE REQUIRING DEALER VISIT FOR DIAGNOSIS. DIAGNOSIS INDICATES FAILURE OF BLUETOOTH MODULE LOCATED NEAR STEERING WHEEL. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR DODGE BIASED ON INFO BOARDS, INSTALL VIDEOS AND OEM PARTS BEING SOLD TO REPAIR THIS. I HAVE VEHICLES TWICE THE AGE OF THIS DODGE WITH BLUETOOTH STILL ACTIVE SO THIS FEELS LIKE A PREMATURE PARTS FAILURE THAT IS PUTTING MY TEEN DRIVER AT RISK UNTIL REPAIRED DUE TO LACK OF HANDS FREE CONNECTIVITY.

SINCE 07/2017 I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ANTI -THEFT-CODE. DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO PAY FOR A CODE UPDATE. NO~ I FEEL THIS IS A RECALL PROBLEM. THE SERVICE CENTER HAS DONE THE RECALLS IT REQUIRED AND RIGHT AFTER THESE RECALLS I HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHERE I HAVE TO BOOST THE CAR IN ORDER TO TURN IT ON. EVERYDAY NOW. I WORK AT NIGHT THEREFORE ITS UNSAFE FOR A SINGLE WOMAN TO BE STRANDED 5 DAYS A WEEK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER POLICE RWD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE POLICE STATION. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WERE MELTED WIRES INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPAIRED BY THE MECHANIC. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

DRIVING IN THE CITY OR HIGHWAY THE POWER STEERING WILL STOP WORKING AND BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE/HARD TO GET TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. THIS CONDITION IS VERY UNSAFE AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE POWER STEERING WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORK FIRST START IN THE MORNING AND TURNING CORNERS. CHECKED AND TOPPED OFF THE FLUID LEVEL. IT WORKED FINE FOR TWO OR THREE DAYS AND STARTS ACTING UP AGAIN.

2014 DODGE CHARGE POLICE CAR LOSES ALL POWER STEERING WHEN TURNED LEFT. WE HAVE 4 OF THESE MODELS AT OUR POLICE AGENCY AND ALL 4 ARE DOING THE SAME THING. AFTER SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL OTHER POLICE CHIEF'S, THEY ALL STATED THAT THE ELECTROSTATIC POWER STEERING PUMP WAS BAD AND IT WAS A MULTIPLE THOUSAND DOLLAR FIX FOR THEM. OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER SAYS TO FIX EACH FLEET CAR, THE COST WILL BE OVER $2000 PER CAR. WITH THIS MANY ISSUES, THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION AND A RECALL. FURTHER, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED LEFT, ALL POWER STEERING IS LOST.

THE ADJUSTABLE GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS MOVE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOTION WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF ACTIVATION BY THE DRIVER, THIS CAUSES ACCELERATION OR BRAKING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE, WHEN THIS OCCURS THE PEDALS ALWAYS MOVE TOWARDS THE DRIVER NOT AWAY, IT OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND THERE IS NOT APPARENT CAUSE FOR IT HAPPENING

DEALER IS REFUSING TO REPAIR MY CAR UNDER RECALL FOR TALAAT AIRBAGS. WHEN I CONTACT THE DEALER AND THE FCA HOTLINE, I AM REPEATEDLY HUNG UP ON.

VEHICLE SCREEN DASH FLASH WHITE OFF AND ON AND CAR SHUT DOWN AND WOULDN'T CRANK FOR ABOUT 30-45 MINUTES. IS THERE A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATORS? THE "ETC" LIGHT ALSO CAME ON.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR HAD IT FOR 8 MONTHS AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2013 DODGE CHARGER BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER I WOULD LIKE WITH SOMEBODY TO LOOK INTO THIS THANK YOU

BODY TRUNK LATCHING OPERATION FAILURE VEHICLE STATIONARY TRUNK RELEASE NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. MOTOR IS STILL MAKING OPERATIONAL SOUNDS, WITHOUT ANY ACTION TO OPEN/RELEASE TRUNK. 2013 DODGE CHARGER

THE TRUNK KEPT OPENING ON IT'S OWN, WITHOUT THE KEY FOB ANYWHERE NEAR IT. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON THE CHARGER AND CHALLENGER MODELS YET THE DEALERSHIP HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT. IT WAS 199.00 BEFORE TAX FOR PARTS AND LABOR FOR A NEW TRUNK SENSOR. THE SCARY PART IS THAT IT OPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION BACKING UP AS WELL.

WHILE REPLACING THE FUEL TANK FOR A CRACK (OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN) EXAMINED THE FUEL PUMP. ON THE SIDE OF THE PUMP, INSIDE THE TANK, A BROWN HEATING MARK WAS FOUND IN THE ROOF OF THE PUMP, WHERE THE BLACK AND YELLOW WIRES PASS THROUGH THE BODY. THIS IN THE SAME LOCATION OF WHERE AT LEAST 6 OTHER VEHICLES HAD BURN THROUGH OF THE ROOF, ALLOWING FUEL TO ESCAPE UNDER THE BACK SEAT.

I BROUGHT THIS 2013 DODGE CHARGER WITH 86,000 MILES USED IN 10/20/2016 FROM SOUTH CHICAGO DODGE AND WHEN I GOT IT, THE CAR USED TO JERK WHEN ACCELERATING AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE CAR PROBLEM THAT I HAD. 1ST TIME THEY HAD FIX THE TRANSMISSION, 2ND, TIME THE HAD PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN AND NOW 2018 ITS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, ITS JUST SOMTHING WITH THIS TRANSMISSION OR WUT EVER ITS CONNECTED TO KEEPS BURNING OUT OR KEEPS DAMAGING THE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T KNOW BUT I HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 75 MPH WHEN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP. THE VEHICLE JUST PASSED 100,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING FRACTURED AND LEAKED OIL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MAGUIRE DODGE RAM OF SYRACUSE (959 HIAWATHA BLVD W, SYRACUSE, NY 13204, (315) 487-6211) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE OIL FILTER HOUSING SYSTEM WAS LOOSE. THE DEALER INSTALLED A NEW OIL FILTER SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,450.

ALTERNATOR

THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH STARTED FLASHING AND THEN WENT OUT AND MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY TRIED TO STOP ON I-95 NORTHBOUND AND THE TRANSMISSION AUTOMATICALLY PARKED FUNCTION OCCURRED AT 75 MPH AND MY CAR ALMOST FLIPPED IT WAS SUCH A HARD STOP.

SEAT BELT MALFUNCTION. DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT MALFUNCTIONS FROM TIME TO TIME, WHERE IT DOES NOT RELEASE WHEN PUSHED TO DISENGAGE. IT SEEMS TO GET STUCK IN THE MIDDLE, BUT THE BUTTON ALSO SOMEWHAT STUCK IN HALFWAY POSITION AND ONLY REMEDY IS TO PUSH THE BUCKLE BACK IN AND TRY TO TO PUSH TO RELEASE. MINIMUM OF 3 ATTEMPTS BEFORE IT ACTUALLY RELEASES. OBVIOUSLY IN A PARKED POSITION WHEN THIS OCCURS. BUT BESIDES FRUSTRATING, TIME CONSUMING...IT CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS WHEN PER SAY YOUR ALTERNATOR CATCHES FIRE AND YOU CANT SEEM TO UNBUCKLE YOUR SEATBELT...OR ANY TYOE OF ACCIDENT WHERE TAKING OFF YOUR SEAT BELT IS CRUCIAL TO YOUR SURVIVAL. OR ANOTHER EXAMPLE, UNABLE TO EXIT VEHICHLE WHEN INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY LAW INFORCMENT. ALTHOUGH QUITE EXTREME EXAMPLES, SUCH DO OCCUR.

PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW NO LONGER OPERATES.IT IS STUCK IN THE UP POSITION, THANKFULLY. BUT IT DOES NO GO DOWN, ALTHOUGH IT IS TRYING, THE NOISE THE MOTOR MAKES WHEM FIRST ENGAGED IS STILL THERE IN AN ATTEMPT TO DO ITS JOB. DOES NOT GO DOWN BY PASSENGER BUTTON, DOES NOT GO DOWN BY DRIVER SIDE BUTTON, BOTH BUTTONS AND NO IT IS NOT ON LOCK POSITION. SAFETY ISSUE YES IN CASE THERE IS AN ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING OBSTRUCTING YOUR DOOR AND ONLY WAY TO ESCAPE IS THROUGH WINDOW...THAT WONT GO DOWN.

TRUNK NO LONGER OPENS. CAME WITH TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON ON FOB, BY STEARING WHEEL AND BY TRUNK ON OUTSIDE, AND NONE OF THESE BUTTONS ACTUALLY DO WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO DO. IT IS ATTEMPTING TO RELEASE SOMEHOW BECAUSE YOU CAN HEAR THE TRUNK WHEN ANY OF THESE BUTTON ARE PUSHES, BUT NO ACTUAL MOVEMENT. HUGE TRUNK, AND NO WAY TO UTILIZE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROCKLAND CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (60 NY-304, NANUET, NY 10954, (845) 627-3700) FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AND THE DEALER DISCOVERED THAT THE BATTERY WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE THE CONTACT FOR THE BATTERY, CLAIMING THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS FAULTY. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD POSSIBLY REIMBURSE THE CONTACT FOR THE BATTERY AND VEHICLE RENTAL FOR WHICH HE WAS CHARGED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER BACK AND INSTRUCTED THEM TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. WHEN THE CONTACT ARRIVED TO RETRIEVE THE VEHICLE, THE DEALER GAVE HIM A BILL FOR MORE THAN HE WAS QUOTED TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. THE BILL INCLUDED ADDITIONAL CHARGES FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND INSTALLATION OF THE BATTERY. THE CONTACT WAS STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK FORM THE DEALER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD REMEDY THE EXTRA CHARGES. THE DEALER WOULD NOT RELEASE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE BILL WAS PAID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

MY CAR STILL MOVES AFTER PLACING DODGE CHARGER SE VIN: [XXX] INTO PARK ALONG WITH EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE THEN TURNING OFF MOTOR. THE CAR STILL MOVES ON IT'S OWN, SOMETIMES EVEN AFTER SITTING OVER NIGHT. I START TO OPEN ONE OF MY DOORS AND THE CAR STARTS MOVING ON IT'S OWN. ALL OF THIS IS DONE WHILE BEING PARKED ON "EVEN SURFACES", SUCH AS MY DRIVEWAY AT HOME (STATIONARY WITH MOTOR OFF. PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE. IT'S BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR BRAND NEW. I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU. [XXX].

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND STOPPED TO ALLOW ANOTHER CAR TO TURN IN FRONT OF ME, I FLASHED MY LIGHTS ONCE TO ALERT THE OTHER DRIVE TO GO AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON AT A HIGH SPEED. I TRIED TO TURN THEM OFF AND THEY WOULD NOT STOP, I TURNED THE WIPER SWITCH BACKWARDS AND FORWARD AND THEY STILL WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME (IN BROAD SUNNY DAYLIGHT) WITH THE WIPERS GOING VERY FAST ON DRY GLASS! VERY ANNOYING AND UPSETTING - WITH NO WARNING. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE WIPERS WERE STILL GOING. I CONTACTED THE NEAREST DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ASKED ME TO COME THERE. I HAD TO DRIVE TO THEM FROM MY HOME ABOUT 10 MILES TO DEALERSHIP WITH THE WIPERS STILL GOING ON DRY WINDSHIELD (VERY EMBARRASSING AND UPSETTING). ONCE I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD GET THEM TO TURN OFF/STOP, WAS TO REMOVE THE FUSE FROM THE BOX THAT CONTROLS THE WIPERS. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR SOME TYPE OF WARNING I SHOULD HAVE NOTICED PRIOR AND THERE WAS NOTHING! THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT 5 YEARS AGO. WE MAINTAIN SERVICING AND TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF OUR VEHICLES. I'M VERY DISTURBED THAT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM? NOW WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT IT'S THE STEERING COLUMN MODULE? AND ITS ABOUT $800 TO REPAIR! THAT'S RIDICULOUS!

WHILE DRIVING, CAR STARTED SMOKING AND SUDDENLY STALLED GIVING A BURNT SMELL. THE CAR HAS NO POWER WHAT SO EVER. CAR WAS TOWED HOME AT OWN EXPENSE AND TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AFTER HOLIDAY. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD AND SO WAS THE BATTERY.

CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH WILL NOT TURN ON/OFF, AND CANCEL BUTTON WON'T FUNCTION, HAVE HAD CLUSTER REPLACED, AND SOFTWARE UPDATED TWICE(ONCE AT DEALERSHIP, THEN AT MY MECHANICS), THE "REPAIR" ONLY LASTS FOR AROUND 15,000 - 20,000 MILES BEFORE IT STARTS TO ACT UP AGAIN. MOST TIMES AFTER TURNING ON THE VEHICLE THE STEERING WHEEL/CRUISE CLUSTER NEEDS TO GET HIT VIOLENTLY MULTIPLE TIMES TO ENGAGE(TURN ON) THE CRUISE CONTROL, REGARDLESS ON IF VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, OR IN MOTION. SOME TIMES I END UP MAKING A 25 MIN DRIVE(OR MORE IF IT IS HAPPENING ON A ROAD TRIP) ON THE FREEWAY WITH OUT IT EVEN ENGAGING(IF IT TAKES MORE THAN 3 MIN(TIME TO FREEWAY) TO TRY TO GET IT TO ACTIVATE, THEN I DON'T RISK TRYING TO GET IT ACTIVE, BUT WILL TRY EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES TO TURN IT ON WITH OUT SUCCESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT LATCH WOULD NOT ACCEPT THE MALE END OF THE SEAT BELT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEE'S SUMMIT DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (1051 SE OLDHAM PKWY, LEE'S SUMMIT, MO) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

WHILE INSPECTING CARS, DISCOVERED HOW HOT THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP WAS, UNIT 252. ON INSPECTION OF THE WIRING CONNECTION, FOUND SCORCHING IN THE CONNECTOR. ON 6 OTHER CARS THIS HAS RESULTED IN A PIN HOLE MELT THROUGH IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP ALLOWING GAS TO ESCAPE UNDER THE BACK SEAT. THIS IS THE NINTH SUCH VEHICLE IN 18 MONTHS, WITH US. *TT

THE WIRING HARNESS ABOVE THE FUEL PUMP BECAME HOT ENOUGH TO BEGIN MELTING A HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK COVER WHICH WOULD HAVE ALLOWED FUEL TO ESCAPE OUT OF THE TANK, UNDER THE BACK SEAT, THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. THIS WAS DISCOVERED WHEN GAS WAS SMELLED IN THE UNIT, WE WILL CALL 255, AND FUEL WAS FOUND ON TOP OF THE UNIT UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK SEAT. WE THINK THIS FUEL LEAK WAS CAUSED BY A O-RING LEAK WHERE A FUEL LINE CONNECTS TO THE TOP OF THIS FILTER LOADED DEVICE/SENSOR. DOING DUE DILIGENCE, OUR MECHANIC CHECKED ALSO THE INTERIOR OF THE FUEL PUMP BEHIND THE DRIVER SIDE AND FOUND INSIDE THE TANK AT THE WIRING HARNESS WHERE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION HAD BEEN HEATED AND HAD BEEN IN THE PROCESS OF MELTING A HOLE IN THIS COVER. THIS IS THE SEVENTH VEHICLE WE HAVE EXPERIANCED THIS MELTING EVENT ON. *TT

2013 DODGE CHARGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ALTERNATOR SAFETY RECALL. *LD *JS

I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH MY DEALERSHIP REGARDING THE REPAIR OF T36 SAFETY RECALL T36. I HAVE CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THIS REPAIR, EACH TIME, I AM TOLD IT IS ON ORDER. THIS BEGAN IN SEPTEMBER 2017 AND IS ON-GOING.

GAS FUMES FILL THE CAR AFTER FILLING UP

TRANSMISSION SHIFTER STICKS, DIFFICULT TO MOVE AUTOMATIC GEAR FROM PARK, DRIVE, REVERSE NEUTRAL..ETC SQUEAKING NOISE IN STEERING COLUMN

ON MY WAY HOME FROM RENO, NV I WAS GETTING ONTO THE I-80 FREEWAY WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY AND THE CAR MANUALLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL ( IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY) THE CAR BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER AND THEN THERE WAS A LOUD BANG IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY, I CLOSE TO AN EXIT AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF. THE CAR RMPS WERE VERY NIGHT THOUGH THE CAR WAS STALLED. THE DEALER LATER DIAGNOSED THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. SO FAR I'VE HAD 6 RECALLS WITH THIS CAR AND 3 REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY.

WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET IT HIGHWAY THE SPEED CONTROL WILL NO LONGER TURN ON WHEN ON/OFF BUTTON IS PRESSED.

ALTERNATOR

AT TIMES WHEN DRIVING EITHER ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION WILL DOWNSHIFT TO LOW GEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. EX: I'M DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGH SPEEDS AND I HEAR THAT SOUND...LIKE IT HAS BEEN THROWN IN 1ST GEAR. AT TIMES HAVE BEEN DRIVING 60+ MPH WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE ONLY WAY TO "RESET" IS TO HURRY AND PULL OVER AND RESTART VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT SPORADICALLY, DURING THE PAST COUPLE YEARS. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO IN APRIL 2018. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COMES ON. I NOTICE A RECALL FOR TRANSMISSIONS, BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW IT IS NEEDED ON MY MODEL CAR.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER SE ALL OF THE LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE DASH AND THE AUTO TRANS WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR . I RAN MY OBD2 AND IT GAVE A TROUBLE CODE OF U0002 HIGH SPEED CAN BUS. IT THEN STALLED ON THE HWY AND I ABOUT CRASHED THE VEHICLE DUE TO NOW POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. IT IS NOW IN THE SHOP AT 125.00 PER HOUR AND THE DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG EITHER. IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. NO CRANKING NO NOTHING.

WHEN GETTING READY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE THE DISPLAY READS VEHICLE NOT IN PARK AND WON'T ALLOW ME TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF. IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY 45 SECONDS TO A MINUTE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND A WARNING LIGHT COME ON SAYING TRACTION CONTROL WAS TURNED OFF AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS IT WENT OFF AND THEN IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. IT HAS DONE THIS BEFORE AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED A SENSOR IN THE CAR NOW ITS DOING IT AGAIN.

MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER'S DOOR HANDLE OPEN AND STAYS IN THE UP POSITION AND YOU HAVE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE TO GET THE DOOR OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARK POSITION AND UPON TRYING TO ENTER THE VEHICLE THE HANDLE LIFTED AND WAS STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION WITHOUT OPENING THE DOOR. IT HAS NOT LATCHED SINCE THE INITIAL INCIDENT AND THE DOOR HAS TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. IT IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE.

TAKATA RECALL AND RECALL T36 ALTERNATOR

WHENEVER I AM DRIVING AND I TURN LEFT AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS SO HARD TO TURN IT SEEMS AS IF IT'S STUCK. I HAVE COME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO HITTING MEDIANS BECAUSE THE CAR JUST DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO TURN. IT ONLY HAPPENS WITH LEFT TURNS. THE RIGHT SEEMS TO BE OKAY. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CHILDREN KNOWING THAT THE CAR DOESN'T OPERATE PROPERLY. I CHECKED RECALLS BUT THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ONE. I HAVE CHECKED OTHER FORUMS AND SEVERAL 2013 CHARGER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE.

IN MOTION GOING OVER A RAILROAD TRACK ON MCMILLAN AVE (CITY STREET) IN NORTH CHARLESTON, SC. THERE WAS A POT HOLE AT THE RAILROAD TRACK. WHILE GOING OVER TRACK/POT HOLE, HEARD A LOUD THUD. TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR CAME ON ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. TOOK TIRE OFF AND PUT ON MY SPARE. TOOK MY TIRE AND RIM TO TIRE SHOP TO PURCHASE NEW TIRE, IT WAS THEN THAT I FOUND OUT MY RIM HAD CRACKED, AND THAT I WOULD IN FACT NEED A NEW TIRE AND RIM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT SHE COULD PAY OUT OF POCKET AND SUBMIT REIMBURSEMENT. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

AS DRIVING UP THE HIGHWAY MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER JERKED AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD THERE WAS A MESSAGE THAT SAID 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION SHUT OFF ENGINE TO ENGAGE PARK' MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS ALSO ON. I PULLED OVER BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK. I TRIED TO PULL BACK OFF TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED, TRAFFICS WAS APPROACHING AND THERE IS WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TRYING PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL TO HURRY AND MOVE BEFORE THE COMING TRAFFICK MADE IT TO ME, IT WAS AN 18 WHEELER. I COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD TODAY DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND I'M NOT WONDERING WHY THERE IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT DODGE MULTIPLE TIMES FOR REIMBURSEMENT ON A FAULTY ALTERNATOR. THE PART WAS ISSUED AS A RECALL (17V-435) ON 07-10-17. SINCE THEN I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO SUBMIT DOCUMENTATION FOR REIMBURSEMENT WITH NO SUCCESS. I'VE SPOKE WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM DODGE MULTIPLE TIMES ALL CLAIMING TO NOT HAVE RECEIVED MY DOCUMENTS. I'VE SUBMITTED THE VIA EMAIL, MAIL AND UPLOADED THEM TO THERE WEBSITE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 6 MONTHS NOW.

I'VE CHECK WITH JIM BURKE DODGE SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THE RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION FOR MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER. AS OF TODAY JANUARY 15, 2018 NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I'M BEING TOLD THEIR ISN'T A FIX AT THIS TIME.

TAKATA RECALL. MY CARS WAS STATIONARY AND BATTERY WAS DEAD TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED AND THEY SAID IT WAS BAD SO REPLACED IT AND NOW IT IS ON BATTERY SAVER AND SMELLS LIKE BURNT WIRES

MY DODGE CHARGER RT 2013 VEHICLE RANDOMLY REPORTS THAT YOUR NEED TO PUSH DOWN THE CLUTCH IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE. IT ALSO WILL RANDOMLY CUT OFF ON YOU WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND FOR THE ALL TELL ME THAT I CAN DO ANYTHING SINCE WE CANT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE WHY THE VEHICLE WILL REPORT ANYTHING ABOUT AN CLUTCH SINCE IT IS AN AUTOMATIC.

FCA RECALL T36/NHTSA 17V-435 NOTIFIED SIX (6) MONTHS AGO REGARDING ALTERNATOR DIODE THERMAL FATIGUE WHICH MAY RESULT IN ALTERNATOR FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSING A RISK OF CRASH. ALSO, MAY DEVELOP A RESISTIVE SHORT CIRCUIT THAT CAN RESULT IN HEAT, SMOKE AND/OR FIRE ORIGINATING WITHIN THE ALTERNATOR. AS OF 01/09/2018, I FORTUNATELY HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER STATES THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I AM OF THE OPINION THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. IF THEY WAIT LONG ENOUGH, WE WILL FORGET ABOUT THIS RECALL. WOULD THE NHTSA PLEASE INTERCEDE REGARDING THIS MATTER?

WHEN AT A STOP FOR MORE THEN THREE MINUTES, CAR WILL STALL. CAR APPEARS AS IF IT IS STILL RUNNING BUT IT IS NOT. WHEN I PROCEED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH TRAFFIC, CAR WILL EITHER NOT MOVE UNTIL BEING RESTARTED, OR IF ON AN INCLINE WILL ROLL BACKWARDS.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

GAS SMELL INSIDE THE CAR AFTER FILL UP. I AM HAVING TO ONLY PUT SO MUCH GAS IN DUE TO THE SMELL INSIDE CAR. WORRIED IT MY BE SOME WRONG AND CAUSE FIRE OR SOMETHING PLEASE HELP

I STARTED MY CAR BY THE FACTORY INSTALLED REMOTE STARTER AND WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT AND I HEARD A HIGH PITCHED HUM COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND THE 'BATTERY SAVER ON' LIGHT WAS ON. I STARTED TO DRIVE AND THE CAR WAS REALLY SLUGGISH ALMOST TO THE POINT IF I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IT WOULD SHUT DOWN. I DROVER THAT WAY FOR ABOUT 2 MILES AND DURING THAT TIME I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR BY USING THE PUSH BUTTON AND THE MESSAGE WAS GONE, BUT ONCE THE CAR WAS PUT INTO DRIVE THE BATTERY SAVER MESSAGE CAME ON AND BURNING SMELL WAS BACK. . I HAD THE CAR TOWED INTO THE ELGIN JEEP DODGE DEALERSHIP ON A FRIDAY NIGHT (ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER EVERYTHING HAPPENED) AND ON MONDAY I WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING SHOWED UP AND THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE ALTERNATOR BUT SINCE NO ERROR CODES SHOWED THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL (#T36/ NHTSA 17V-435) FOR THE ALTERNATOR. THEY TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD TAKE THE CAR BACK AND HOPE THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN AND WHEN THE PARTS COME IN FOR THE RECALL COME BACK AND GET IT FIX THEN. I DID CONTACT FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES (FCA) TO TRY AND GET IT TEMPORARY FIX BUT DUE TO THERE BEING NO ERROR CODES THEY WILL NOT FIX ANYTHING. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE FCA WILL NOT FIX ANYTHING UNTIL THE CAR STARTS ON FIRE. I DRIVE ABOUT 40 MILES A DAY ON AN EXPRESSWAY WHERE SPEEDS ARE ABOUT 60-70 MPH, I DON'T FEEL SAFE THAT THE ALTERNATOR WILL JUST GO AND THE CAR WILL STOP. I FEEL THAT SINCE THERE WAS A SIGN OF ISSUES THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE REVERSING THE VEHICLE, IT ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN FROM 15 TO 50 MPH. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE STRUCK THREE OTHER VEHICLES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF A DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

I NOTICED THAT MY LIGHTS WERE DIMMING AS I AM DRIVING REGULARLY SO. WHILE WATING ON THE NEW ALTERNATOR TO COME IN SO THAT I CAN BE GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED SINCE APRIL 2017. THE ALTERNATOR DRAINED MY BATTERY. DODGE WOULD NOT REPLACE THE BATTERY SO I WENT AND PURCHASED ON A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE THE CHARGER SAT FOR 3 DAYS WITH NO POWER. ONCE I PUT THE NEW BATTERY IN THE EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON SO I TOOK THE CAR OUT FOR A DRIVE AND IN JUST UNDER 5 MIN SMOKE WAS COMING FROM MY HOOD. PULLED OVER TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO GET SOME HELP AND THE ALTERNATOR STARTS SPARKING AND ONCE I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE BATTERY OUT FOR IT TO STOP PULLING POWER THE PEOPLE AT THE PARTS STORE TOLD ME THAT THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I AGREE. I SENT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE IT BACK NOW BUT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS THING WITH MY GIRL AND OUR KIDS CAN YOU HELP. I JUST GOT OUT OF THE MILITARY AND I'M DRIVING A CAR THAT I FEEL IS UNSAFE WITH 6 RECALLS TWO OF THEM BEING THE ALTERNATOR.

I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN TWO SEPARATE CRASHES WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST AT 46 MPH, WITH SIGNIFICANT FRONT END DAMAGE. THE SECOND, AFTER THE CAR WAS REPAIRED WAS AT 75 MPH. DURING THE FIRST CRASH, NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. DURING THE SECOND CRASH ONLY THE CURTAIN/SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I WAS SEATBELTED IN, PROPERLY, AND SUFFERED BRUISED LUNGS AND A CONCUSSION.

MY CAR WILL NOT START WITH THE REMOTE OR BUSH BUTTON. AND 3 WEEKS AGO.I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND THE ABS SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND SOME OTHER SYMBOL CAME ON. I DROVE THE CAR HOME STOPPED IT. TURNED MOTOR OFF. WAITED STARTED CAR AGAIN AND ALL SORTS OF LIGHTS CAME ON AND OFF THEN THE SERVICE ABS WARNING LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN AND THE BATTERY LIGHT . TAKING OFF THE BATTERY NEGATIVE TERMINAL WOULD RESET ECU. 1 WEEK LATER I AM DRIVING TO THE STORE AND LIGHT CAME ON SAYING THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING. NOW AS I WAS DRIVING HOME THE NEEDLE STARTED TO GO BACK DOWN AND THE LIGHT TURNED OFF. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECKED MY COOLANT LEVEL AND IT WAS JUST FINE. SO WHY DID IT DO THIS? ANOTHER THING NOW JUST LAST NIGHT, NOV 11TH, SATURDAY NIGHT, I WENT OUT TO THE GARAGE TO START MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START?WHEN I TRIED TO START IT I HEARD A CLICKING SOUND THAT WAS COMING FROM THE RADIATOR AREA. THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS WERE FLASHING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT EVEN TURN OVER. I GOT MY MULTIMETER AND CHECKED MY BATTERY AND IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. SO I CHARGED IT OVER NIGHT. I TRIED TO START IT NEXT MORNING IT WOULD NOT START. MY CHARGER HAS A ALTERNATOR CHECK SETTING ON IT AND IT SAID IT WAS CHARGING. STILL WOULD NOT START. WHEN I PUT ON THE BATTERY CABLES? THE FLASHERS AND HORN WOULD SOUND OFF? I PULL THE FUSES ON BOTH AND TRIED STARTING IT AGAIN NO LUCK. I THEN USED THE ENGINE START FEATURE ON MY BATTERY CHARGER AND THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP NO PROBLEM. I PUT THE FUSES BACK CLOSED HOOD CLOSED TRUNK AND TOOK CAR OUT FOR A DRIVE FOR ABOUT 5 MILES NO PROBLEMS.CAME BACK HOME STOPPED CAR AND TURNED OFF ENGINE AND RE-STARTED IT SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO ISSUES. IT STARTED UP FINE. DOES MY CAR FALL UNDER THE SAFETY RECALL P60 / NHTSA 14V-634 ALTERNATOR - 2011-2014 DODGE CHRYSLER & JEEP.DO I NEED ONE OF THOSE NEW ALTERNATORS?

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 17V-435 ANNOUNCED (6/9/2017) THE ALTERNATOR MAY EXPERIENCE DIODE THERMAL FATIGUE FAILURE DUE TO CYCLICAL LOADS INDUCED BY ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING. ATTEMPTS TO ARRANGE ADDRESSING THIS RECALL WITH DODGE DEALERSHIPS IN PORT JERVIS (PORT JERVIS AUTO MALL & MANHATTAN JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE) IN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER 2017 BOTH WERE UNSUCCESSFUL, WITH BOTH DEALERSHIPS INDICATING THEY WERE NOT BEING SUPPLIED WITH THE REPLACEMENT ALTERNATORS BY DODGE, AND THEREFORE COULD NOT CARRY OUT THE RECALL SERVICE. PORT JERVIS AUTO MALL SAID THAT I COULD PURCHASE THE REPLACEMENT ALTERNATOR AND PAY FOR THE SERVICE TO REPLACE IT, SUBMIT THE RECEIPTS TO DODGE, BUT THAT THEY COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT DODGE WOULD REIMBURSE IF DONE THIS WAY. I HAVE LEARNED THAT FAILURE OF THIS DIODE AND THE ALTERNATOR WHILE DRIVING COULD RESULT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTTING DOWN, LOSING POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, WITH HIGH DANGER OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WHY IS DODGE NOT ADDRESSING THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION?

FOR SOME REASON NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I REPLACE IT, THE FRONT FUSE FOR THE A.C. WHERE THE ENGINE IS LOCATED KEEPS GETTING SOMETHING BURNED ON THE SIDE OF IT CAUSING MY A.C. TO STOP BLOWING COOL AIR. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR NOT. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT OWN THIS TYPE OF CAR HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

EVERY 3 MONTHS SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR THE BATTERY WILL BE DEAD. WHEN I HAVE BATTERY CHECKED WILL TEST GOOD. PUT BATTERY BACK ON AND WILL LAST 3 MORE MONTHS AND THEN DEAD AGAIN! EVER SINCE PURCHASING VEHICLE IN JUNE 2013. BATTERY SAVER MODE COMES ON MESSAGE SCREEN REGULARLY. WHENEVER BATTERY SAVER MODE IS ON MESSAGE SCREEN AM NOT ABLE TO USE RADIO OR OTHER ITEMS ON 8.4 INCH RADIO/NAV/PHONE SCREEN... WHEN ACCELERATING AT LIGHT, CAR HESITATES WHEN PUSHING GAS PEDAL AND THEN WHEN IS PUSHED A LITTLE FURTHER CAR LUNGES, NOT SMOOTH ACCELERATION. ALWAYS STARTS OUT SLOW AND SMOOTH THEN HESITATES (SEEMS LIKE GOING TO STALL) THEN LUNGES.

WHEN DRIVING I COULD HEAR A NOISE WHICH I THOUGHT WAS THE TRANSMISSION THEM I COULD SMELL A FAINT SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC. THEN THE BATTERY SAVER LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. NEVER MADE IT. GOT ABOUT 2 MILES AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. THE BRAKES WOULD ENGAGE ON THEIR ON THEIR OWN FINALLY THE CAR STARTED TO STALL AND COASTED TO A STOP. WHEN STOPPED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE RUNNING SLOWLY. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO DEALER AT MY COST. THEY SAID ALTERNATOR WAS BURNED UP AND IT ALSO BURNED UP THE BATTERY. EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL PAY FOR ALTERNATOR BUT NOT THE BATTERY. CAR HAS 43000 MILES.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN STREET ALTERNATOR FAILED WITHOUT WARNING,WHICH IN TURN MADE CAR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH TOTAL LOST OF POWER.I HAD CAR TOWED TO ANTIOCH CHRYSLER WHICH COST ME $1300 FOR ALTERNATOR ,BATTERY LABOR

COOLANT FAN IS COMING APART, GOING THRU RADIATOR. WE HAVE SEVERAL POLICE CHARGERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. OUR FLEET IS 2009 THRU 2015 MODELS. AT THIS TIME WE HAVE THIS PROBLEM ON A 2011 AND 2013. SURROUNDING AGENCIES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A WHINING NOISE AND THE ABS, TRACTION, AND BATTERY SAVER INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED. WHILE PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PARKED, EXITED THE VEHICLE, OPENED THE HOOD, AND SAW SMOKE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER (LARRY H. MILLER DODGE RAM HAVANA, 2727 S HAVANA ST, DENVER, CO 80014 (720) 907-1243) TO INQUIRE ABOUT AN ALTERNATOR RECALL BECAUSE HIS PREVIOUS DODGE CHARGER WAS INCLUDED IN A RECALL FOR THE ALTERNATOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,900.

INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COMING ON, HEATER TURNING ON, GAUGES BLINKING ON AND OFF, FAILURE TO START AND STALLING WHILE DRIVING. I ASSUMED THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD SO I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT TO MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THE VEHICLE DIED IN THE DRIVEWAY. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO AN AUTOMOTIVE SHOP. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE BATTERY WAS FRIED AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. AS SOON AS A NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED IT IMMEDIATELY FRIED THAT BATTERY AND THEY SAID THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS GENERATING HEAT AND BEGINNING TO SMOKE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A MAJOR ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE AND SENT IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. THIS PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER IS NOT UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL BUT ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS THE CAR WAS HAVING IS EXACTLY WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL NOTICE.

I WAS DRIVING FROM TULSA TO JOPLIN WHEN THE BATTERY SAVER LIGHT CAME ON. SHORTLY AFTER I LOST ALL DIGITAL GAUGES AND POWER STEERING. CAR SHUT OFF AND BECAME HARD TO CONTROL. I WAS IN LEFT LANE ON INTERSTATE WITH TRACTOR TRAILERS IN THE RIGHT LANE, CAR SLOWED TO AROUND 10 MILES AN HOUR AS I TRIED TO GET ACROSS RIGHT LANE ONTO SHOULDER. CAR IN RIGHT LANE WOULD NOT MOVE AND ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT. WAS ABLE TO GET CAR TO SHOULDER. ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR FAILED AT 130,000 MILES. DODGE WANTED OVER 600 DOLLARS TO REPLACE AND SAID THE ORIGINAL RECALL DID NOT EFFECT MY MODEL. PURCHASED A SECOND ALTERNATOR FROM AUTOZONE BUT IT WAS DEAD OUT OF THE BOX. THIRD ALTERNATOR LASTED FROM SEPTEMBER 2016 TO JULY 2017. INSTALLED FOURTH ALTERNATOR ON 7/15/2017 BUT DIAGNOSTICS SHOWS THE REGULATOR IS FAILING. AUTOZONE IS TELLING ME THAT DODGE HAS OTHER ISSUES CAUSING FAILURE. PROBLEM I HAVE IS DODGE WOULD NOT REPLACE THE ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR AS IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL.

MY CAR HAS CUT OFF AND TURNED RIGHT BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THERE ARE 0 ISSUES.

THE WAS A RECALL ISSUE FIXED ON MY VEHICLE SOMETIME LAST YEAR WHERE IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THEY WENT INTO MY DASH AND/OR REMOVED THE DASH. ALSO THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND OFF. SINCE THEN, I'VE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE CLICKING/KNOCKING WHERE THE AIRBAG WOULD BE LOCATED AND THE AIR BAGS LIGHT IS ON AND OFF VERY FREQUENTLY AS WELL. IF I HIT A BUMP ON THE SIDE WHERE THE CLICKING OCCURS, THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL COME ON. NOT SURE IF THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE RECALL THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IN THE PAST, HOWEVER THERE WAS NO CLICKING/KNOCKING IN THE DASHBOARD PRIOR TO THE FIX, ONLY AIRBAG LIGHT. I JUST DON'T WANT IT TO BE AN AIRBAG ISSUE OR IT DEPLOYS WHILE I'M DRIVING. NOT ABLE TO PUT IN AN EXACT DATE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY, SO ONLY ENTERED TODAY'S DATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WITHIN A WEEK OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE HEARD NEAR THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.

WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2013 DODGE CHARGER ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH THE DASH BOARD STARTED ACTING STRANGELY AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON. BEFORE THE VEHICLE COULD BE BROUGHT TO A STOP IT LOST ALL POWER AND CONTROL INCLUDING THE ABILITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A SHORT IN THE ALTERNATOR THAT ALSO DEFECTED THE BATTERY. I WAS TOLD BY THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL THAT IDENTIFIES THESE SAME SYMPTOMS, AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE I COULD DO GOING FORWARD WHEN I REQUESTED TO SPEAK WITH A CASE MANAGER INVESTIGATING THESE CASES.

IT LOOKED LIKE MY ALTERNATOR IS WHAT WAS SMOKING AND PUTTING OUT A LOT OF HEAT. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES HOPING IT WOULD COOL DOWN. I NOTICED THE SMOKE WAS GETTING WORST AS WELL AS THE HEAT COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. I THEN HEARD A CRACKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR. IT SOUNDED LIKE ELECTRICITY SNAPPING. I THEN DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND IMMEDIATELY THE SNAPPING STOPPED. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 5 MORE MINS THE SMOKING STOPPED. I SAW THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE ALTERNATOR IN MY MAKE AND YEAR, BUT WHEN I TYPE IN MY VIN NUMBER IT DOESN'T SHOW THE RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. IVE REACHED OUT TO MY DODGE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE THE RECALL FOR THE ALTERNATOR. COULD THEY HAVE MADE A MISTAKE?

WHILE DRIVING HOME ON 3/18./17, THE BATTERY SAVE MODE APPEARED. THE BATTERY LIGHT THEN CAME ON. SHORTLY AFTER, ALL THE WARNING NOTIFICATIONS APPEARED AND THE CAR DIED. THERE WAS A BURNING RUBBER SMELL COMING FROM THE HOOD. THE BATTERY A BRAND NEW ONE I RECENTLY PURCHASED! NOW, I CAN'T GET INTO MY CAR AT ALL BECAUSE THE ELECTRICITY IS. NOT WORKING! I HEAR THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR BUT UNSURE IF THEY WILL COVER MINE! I CAN'T AFFORD THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE EXISTING A PARKING LOT, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, A MESSAGE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED THAT THE BATTERY CRITICAL LOW LEVEL AND THEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR EMITTING INTO THE VEHICLE, WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED.

THE ALTERNATOR DIODES EXPERIENCED A RAPID FAILURE RESULTING IN A COMPLETE SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT 50MPH. LOW BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND WITHIN 1-2 MINUTES LOST ALL CAR FUNCTIONS INCLUDING ANTILOCK BREAKING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, AND POWER STEERING. UPON COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, COULD NOT PUT THE CAR IN PARK. CAR EVENTUALLY RESET AND PUT ITSELF IN PARK. EXPERIENCED A BURNING/MELTING SMELL. HAD CAR BATTERY JUMPED AND CAR APPEARED FINE. RESUMED DRIVING, BUT EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE REPEAT OF EVENTS WITHIN JUST A FEW MINUTES. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AS STATED IN RECALL P60/ NHTSA 14V-634. UPON RESEARCHING ON THE WEB, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT MANY OTHERS WITH THE 180AMP ENGINE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE; HOWEVER, IT IS UNCLEAR AS TO WHY THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR THE 160AMP. I CAN ONLY PRESUME THAT IT IS BECAUSE THERE ARE LESS OF THE 180AMP ENGINES SOLD. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION!

2013 DODGE SXT 3.5 AWD W/ 75K MILES. RUBBING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN TURNING, THOUGHT IT JUST NEEDED TO BE LUBED (HAD THAT DONE AT A NON FCA SERVICE SITE A FEW YEARS EARLIER) HAD IT AT THE DEALER A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND THEY SAID THE STEERING COLUMN TO RACK JOINT WAS WORN OUT AND ABOUT TO COME APART AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $2K IF IT HAD BEEN LEFT FURTHER, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE STEERING COLUMN WOULD HAVE BEEN DISCONNECTED. IF THIS HAD COMPLETELY COME APART, IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN INABILITY TO STEER. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN INTERESTING TO SAY THE LEAST. OWNED THE CAR SINCE NEW, NOT ABUSED, RACED OR WRECKED. CALLED FCA, THEY SAID THAT THE DEFECTIVE JOINT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY HAD NO OTHER COMPLAINTS. THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE AND SAID THAT SINCE IT HAD BEEN PAID, THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST. HAS ANYONE ELSE SEEN THIS? WONDER IF THERE IS A CLASS ACTION, A RECALL OR I JUST GOT A DEFECTIVE PART

WAS DRIVING DODGE CHARGER SXT ON THE HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH AND HEARD A WHINING NOISE. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON CONTROL PANEL WENT ON AND OFF AND THERE WAS A SMELL OF BURNING RUBBER. CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED WITH MY PREGNANT WIFE AND 1 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR AND ALMOST CAUSE A MAJOR INCIDENT. CAR WENT COMPLETELY DEAD IN MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY AND WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER, BUT LUCKILY CAUSED NO INCIDENT. DEALER SAID IT WAS A FAULTY ALTERNATOR ISSUE THAT COMPLETELY DRAINED BATTERY AS WELL. THERE IS A RECALL P60 ON ALTERNATORS FOR THE MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR OF THE DODGE CHALLENGER SXT, BUT OUR VEHICLE WASN'T COVERED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR INCIDENT. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A COINCIDENCE AND DODGE NEEDS TO ADD ADDITIONAL VEHICLE COVERAGE UNDER THIS RECALL BEFORE A MAJOR INCIDENT HAPPENS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. ENTIRE CAR SHUT DOWN. GIVEN 8 SPEED ELECTRONIC GEAR SHIFT, CAR LOCKED INTO PARK WHILE IN OPERATION. IT WAS JUST DETERMINED THE ALTERNATOR FAILURE WAS THE CAUSE OF THIS TOTAL SYSTEM FAILURE. NO SUPPORT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

LOST STEERING AND ACCELERATION WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS OCCURRED WITHIN MINUTES AFTER THE VEHICLE ENTERED "BATTERY SAVER MODE" AND DISPLAYED THE "BATTERY" ICON ON THE EVIC SCREEN. THIS WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM, OTHER THAN THE RADIO NOT WORKING THAT DAY. AFTER PULLING OVER, WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR, EXIT THE HIGHWAY, AND PULL INTO A SERVICE STATION. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK, THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE INTO PARK, NOR WOULD THE CAR SHUT DOWN, UNTIL THE PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH WAS HELD DOWN FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. AN ELECTRICAL TEST REVEALED THAT THE ALTERNATOR HAD FAILED, AND THE BATTERY TESTED GOOD. BOTH THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY ARE THE ORIGINAL FACTORY-INSTALLED PARTS.

MY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE IS THE RACK AND PINION LOCKING UP ON ME WHEN I TURN LEFT. I TOOK IT INTO DODGE AND THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING WITH IT BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WASN'T HAPPENING AT THE TIME THAT IT WAS BROUGHT INTO THE SHOP, THIS WAS WHEN I HAD WARRANTY THAT I PAID EXTRA FOR AND EVERYTHING. AFTER IT GOT WORSE, I LOST CONTROL OF IT MAKING A LEFT AND I HIT A CURB, WHICH CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO GET A NEW TIRE. AS I AM DRIVING TO CLASS OR WORK, I GO TO MAKE MY REGULAR LEFT AND MY CAR KEEPS LOCKING UP AS I TURN SO I HAVE TO FORCE IT OUT OF THE LEFT TURN. I WOULD GET THE PROBLEM FIXED, BUT THE ISSUE WITH THIS IS THAT IT IS OVER $1000 TO GET FIXED. NOW MY MOTHER DRIVES MY CAR SOMETIMES, AND SHE HAS A PROBLEM WITH DRIVING MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS, SO SHE DOES NOT DRIVE IT ANYMORE. THIS ISSUE COULD BE A PROBLEM FOR SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE IT CAN LOCK UP AND CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT, KILL OR SERIOUSLY INJURE SOMEONE. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING CONSIDERING HOW NEW THE VEHICLE IS AND I THINK THEY SHOULD BE INVESTIGATE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FIX IT DURING WARRANTY BECAUSE THE ISSUE WAS NOT CONSISTENT. BASED ON FORUMS, I ALSO SEE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM. NOW IT IS EVERY TIME I TURN ON THE CAR IT LOCKS UP WHEN I TURN LEFT, IT IS VERY UNSAFE.

I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY ON SIDE STREET AT 35 - 40 MPH. I APPROACHED AND WAS ENTERING AN INTERSTATE ON-RAMP AND AS I STARTED TO ACCELERATE THE RADIO AND AC TURNED OFF, ABS LIGHT AND ANTI-SKID ICON APPEARED ON DASH, EXTERIOR LIGHTS ACTED ERRATICALLY DIMMING AND THEN COMING BACK ON, MESSAGE ENVELOPE APPEARED, BELLS WERE RINGING, CAR LOST SUBSTANTIAL POWER ON RAMP AS I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE ONTO INTERSTATE AND THEN "BATTERY SAVER MODE" MESSAGE APPEARED. I COULD HEAR A HIGH PITCHED WHINING NOISE THAT STARTED OUT OF NOWHERE BUT SEEMED TO SUBSIDE AFTER A FEW MINUTES BUT THE CAR SEEMED TO SHAKE OR SHUDDER SOME BUT NOT HORRIBLY. ALMOST LIKE A ROUGH IDLE BUT AS I WAS DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE APPX 5 MILES TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE AND PARK. ONCE I STOPPED AND TURNED OFF THE CAR, I DID RESTART IT TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AND IT STARTED NORMALLY BUT AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES, "POWER SAVER MODE" CAME BACK ON SO I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY ALTERNATOR. ALTERNATOR IS MODEL 4801778-AI, 180 AMP MODEL. SIMILAR SYMPTOMS TO RECALL P60 ON 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. HAVING THIS HAPPEN WHILE I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE ONTO THE INTERSTATE ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET REAR-ENDED! *TR

"ALTENATOR RECALL", WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD , BATTERY SAVER MODE CAME ON THEN THE BATTERY LIGHT IN MY R/T DAYTONA EDITION. THE CAR ONLY HAS 27000 MILES ON IT. *TR

MY TRUNK OPENS UP FOR NO REASON.

I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CARS LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND WOULD GET ON BATTERY SAVER MODE AND WAS HARD TRYING TO STEER ON TO EMERGENCY LANE UNTIL IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME. LUCKILY I WAS HALF WAY ON THE SLOW LANE AND SAFE LANE. IT WOULD NOT TURN ON AND IT STARTED SMOKING WHEN I TRIED GETTING OUT I WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED IN AND COULD NOT TURN ON THE CAR TO PLACE IT ON PARK OR OPEN THE DOORS. I HAD TO GET OUT THROUGH THE WINDOW THAT I ALREADY HAD DOWN. I THEN HAD TO CALL MY BOYFRIEND TO PICK UP THE CAR IN A TRAILER. WHEN I WAS OUT THE CAR I NOTICED RED/PINKISH WATER COMING OUT OF THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 1 MPH AND PARKING THE VEHICLE, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A WALL AND PINNED A CAREGIVER.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

VEHICLE HAD A MULTI-SYSTEM FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AWAY FROM A PARKING LOT. ENGINE DID NOT STALL AT FIRST. INITIALLY THE STEERING BECAME HARD FROM POWER STEERING LOSS, "SERVICE AWD" LIGHT CAME ON, "SERVICE POWER STEERING" LIGHT WAS NEXT, FOLLOWED BY BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE. CAR WAS STILL A LITTLE DRIVEABLE AND THEN IT STALLED AS I WAS STOPPING. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART EVEN THOUGH THE BUTTON START SYSTEM WAS TELLING ME TO STEP ON THE BRAKE AND PUSH START. WAITED 3 HOURS FOR A CAPABLE TOW TRUCK (DUE TO THE AWD). DURING THE WAIT, THE CAR'S INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD COME ALIVE, THE PANEL GAUGES WOULD SWIPE ONE TIME AND VARIOUS NOISES COULD BE HEARD AS IF THE CAR WAS STARTING BUT NOTHING WAS GOING ON. THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE STABILITY LIGHT IS ON TOO. GOT THE CAR PARKED FOR THE LAST TWO DAY. NOT SURE IF MY BREAK WILL GO OUT ON ME. WE HAD GOT RAIN EVERYDAY IN NORTH LOUISIANA

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND SMELLED AN ODOR SIMILAR TO ELECTRICAL BURNING. INDICATORS APPEARED FOR LOW BATTERY/SAVE BATTERY MODE IN THE DASH. TOOK CAR TO ADVANCED AUTO AND WHILE TESTING BATTERY, WHITE SMOKE WAS BILLOWING FROM NEAR ENGINE. MECHANIC REPAIRED BAD ALTERNATOR WHICH WAS THE PROBLEM. CALLED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AFTER SEEING RECALL ON 2013 DODGE CHARGERS BUT MY SPECIFIC CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE RECALL. CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES AT TIME OF INCIDENT.

AS I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF MY JOB, I GOT A MESSAGE ON MY DASHBOARD SAYING "BATTERY SAVER MODE" AND THE SYMBOLS OF ABS AND THE ELECTRICAL STABILITY CONTROL ICONS LIT UP. I THEN HEARD A STRANGE NOISE AS IF THE CAR WAS IN THE WRONG GEAR. I TRIED TO MAKE A CALL WITH MY BLUETOOTH HANDS FREE AND THEN IT STOPPED WORKING. AFTER DRIVING A MILE, I PULLED OVER TO A GAS STATION AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. I EXPLAINED THE SYMBOLS THAT WERE ON AND THE NOISES. I WAS ASSURED THE WARNINGS LIGHTS WERE JUST A CAUTION AND I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY CAR BREAKING DOWN IF I WANTED TO BRING MY CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPT. AFTER ENDING MY CALL, MY AC WENT OUT AND THEN MY CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD NO POWER AND HAD TO CALL A TOWING COMPANY TO HAUL MY CAR TO THE DEALER. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO DROP IT OFF AS THEY WERE CLOSING FOR THE DAY BUT I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL DESCRIBING THE SAME THING THAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME. AFTER RESEARCHING RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE, I NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALLED 160 AMP ALTERNATOR (P60 RECALL). THIS ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING WITH MORE THAN JUST WHAT CHRYSLER IS REPORTING. MY VEHICLE IS AN 180 AMP ALTERNATOR AND MEETS THE SAME RISKS LISTED FOR A RECALL.

VEHICLE WILL STATE "BATTERY SAVER MODE" AND START A HIGH PITCHED WHIRRING NOSE. AT THIS POINT THE ALTERNATOR WILL EITHER GET STUCK OR SHORT AND WILL BEGIN TO OVERHEAT FOLLOWED BY A DRAINED BATTER AND STALLING OF THE CAR. IN MY INSTANCE I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE MESSAGE STATING "BATTERY SAVER MODE" TURNED ON THEN STARTED TURNING OFF AND ON THE RADIO, SIGNALING LOW BATTERY, ABS ACTIVE WITH THEM TURNING ON AN OFF BEFORE THE HIGH PITCHED SOUND BEGAN FROM THE ENGINE. I DROVE 2 BLOCKS TO MY JOB PARKED AND SMOKE BILLOWED FROM UNDER THE HOOD DIRECTLY FROM THE ALTERNATOR. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND ALLOWED IT THE SMOKING TO STOP. ONCE IT WAS OFF I NOTICED ALL POWER IN THE CAR WAS DRAINED AND IT WOULD NOT TURN ON IN ANY WAY OR EVEN OPEN THE TRUNK. IT WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO CONFIRMED AN ISSUE WITH THE ALTERNATOR AND HAD TO REPLACE IT WITH A 180AMP ALTERNATOR TO SOLVE THE ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

MY STEERING WHEEL GOT LOCKED UP ON A HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 55 MPH IT WAS SO HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BUT I MANAGED TO PULL OVER , THE ABS,LIGHT CAME ON AND IT SAID SERVICE POWER STEERING SYSTEM, I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT A MINUTE THEN TURNED BACK ON AND IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL, BUT A COUPLE WEEKS LATER IT'S DOING THE SAME THING IN MY DRIVEWAY BUT NOW IT WON'T EVEN TURN ON AT ALL AND IT JUST SAYS SERVICE POWER STEERING SYSTEM, SO I THOUGHT MAYBE THE STEERING PUMP WAS BAD SO I PURCHASED A USED ONE ON EBAY INSTALLED IT BUT STILL NO LUCK IT STILL WONT TURN ON...

THE VEHICLE'S CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED AND WAS SET TO 67 MPH ON AN OPEN, RURAL STRAIGHT HIGHWAY. A SINGLE TAP AND RELEASE OF THE + CRUISE BUTTON WAS INITIATED. INSTEAD OF INCREMENTING THE SPEED UP BY 1 MPH THE ACCELERATOR REMAINED ENGAGED AND THE CAR QUICKLY ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY TO 90+ MPH. A HARD PRESS ON THE BRAKES WAS REQUIRED TO GET THE CAR TO DISENGAGE THE ACCELERATOR. QUITE SHOCKED BY WHAT JUST HAPPENED I INFORMED THE PASSENGER THAT WAS WITH ME OF THE EVENT THAT JUST TOOK PLACE. I THEN ENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL A SECOND TIME AND THEN AGAIN INITIATED A TAP AND RELEASE OF THE + CRUISE BUTTON. AGAIN, THIS SHOULD HAVE INCREMENTED THE CRUISE SPEED BY 1 MPH BUT INSTEAD THE CAR AGAIN WENT INTO AN UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION UNTIL I STOPPED IT BY A HARD PRESS ON THE BRAKES. THIS CONDITION WAS WITNESSED BY MYSELF AND A PASSENGER THAT WAS WITH ME. THE VEHICLE HAS 16,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER HAD ANY MAINTENANCE OTHER THAN WHAT IS PERFORMED AT AND BY THE DEALER.

AFTER CAR IS STARTED AND YOU PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR THE BRAKE PADDLE BECOMES ROCK HARD AND THE CAR WILL NOT STOP. THERE ARE TIMES WHERE UNDER NORMAL BRAKING EVERYTHING IS OK. UNDER HARD BRAKING THE BRAKES WILL NOT STOP THE CAR.

WHEN DRIVING ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON.ALL THE OTHER LIGHTS START FLASHING AND LOOSING POWER.WAS ABLE TO PARK IN A PARKING LOT.THE CAR SHUT DOWN.I WAS TOLD AT THE PART STORE THE BATTERY WAS GOOD BUT LOW PROBABLY BECAUSE THE ALTERNATOR OR LEFT LIGHTS ON IN CAR.I CHARGE BATTERY AND DROVE HOME ABOUT 3 MINS AWAY.SMOKE WAS COMMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD.IT WAS COMMING FROM MY ALTERNATER.A DAY EALIER IT SMELL LIKE ACID AND IT WAS SKIPPING A LITTLE BIT.I THOUGHT IT WAS TIME FOR A TUNE UP.

I HAD A PRIOR ISSUE WITH MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER WHEN MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND THE ALTERNATOR WENT ON IT AND IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT FOR HER TO TURN THE CAR CONSIDERING SHE IS A TINY WOMAN. I CONTACTED THE NHTSA AND I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING WAS DONE ABOUT IT BECAUSE A MONTH LATER MY CHARGER HAD A RECALL FOR THE ALTERNATOR. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN, THE ONLY THING IS THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING THE CAR BUT IT WAS STILL A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL A 5000 POUND CAR WITH NO POWER STEERING BECAUSE THE ALTERNATOR IS GONE ON IT. I REPLACED MY BATTERY AND I KNOW IT IS NOT THAT. THE CAR IS BASICALLY NEW AND I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THESE ISSUES AND IT IS ALSO DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN A CAR IS GOING TO JUST SHUT OFF ON YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHT, OR RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, ANYWHERE THAT IT CAN BE DANGEROUS TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I SENT DODGE AND EMAIL TONIGHT, HOPING TO GET AN ANSWER BACK WITHIN A FEW DAYS, BUT FOR THE MOST PART RIGHT NOW I WILL HAVE TO TAKE AN UBER TO WORK OR WHERE EVER I NEED TO GO. BUT THIS IS AN INCONVENIENCE TO A LOT OF OWNERS BECAUSE I HAVE READ A LOT OF BAD REVIEWS ON THE ALTERNATOR FOR THIS CAR. IF THEY ARE REPLACING THE ALTERNATORS WITH THE SAME FIRST ONE THEY USED, IT MAKES NO SENSE BECAUSE IT IS JUST GOING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS.

CURRENTLY HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. VEHICLE WAS ON RECALL FOR THE ALTERNATOR AND THE ESC LIGHT CAME ON. THE RECALL NOTICE STATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR COULD CAUSE THE ESC LIGHT TO COME ON BUT WHEN THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED THE LIGHT STAYED ON. CALL DODGE, THEY SAID THAT THE LIGHT SHOULD RESET ITSELF BUT IT DIDN'T. THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL; HOWEVER THIS PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE DEFAULTED ALTERNATOR WHICH LED TO THE OTHER PROBLEMS THAT I'M HAVING. THE ABS CAUSED THE MASTER CYLINDER TO GO OUT. NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ESC MODULE AND MASTER CYLINDER AT MY OWN EXPENSE.

MY DODGE CHARGER HEMI 5.7 ROAD AND TRACK HAS LESS THAN 15,000 MILES ON IT. WE TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE SEVERAL RECALL REPAIRS DONE. DROVE CAR HOME, IT SAT IN GARAGE FOR MAYBE 3 DAYS, WENT TO START THE CAR, EVIC WAS WHITE AND CAR WOULD NOT START. TRIED TO START NEXT DAY AND NONE OF THE LIGHTS WOULD EVEN COME ON, TOTALLY DEAD. USED JUMPER CABLES ON IT, STILL WILL NOT START. HAD TO LET THE GOOD CAR STAY RUNNING AND REVVING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON FOR ALMOST 20 MINUTES, WHILE TRYING TO START THE CHARGER SEVERAL TIMES, THE LIGHTS AND EVIC CAME ON BUT WOULD NOT START. THE NEXT DAY, TRIED JUMPING AGAIN SAME AS ABOVE, LET GOOD CAR RUN FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 15-20 MINUTES, CAR STARTED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. DROVE CHARGER TO AUTOZONE AND LEFT RUNNING, HAD SOMEONE COME OUT AND PUT A METER ON THE + AND - TERMINALS AND WAS TOLD THE ALTERNATOR IS BAD, NOT CHARGING THE BATTERY. AFRAID TO DRIVE BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CAR COULD SUDDENLY JUST DIE WHILE DRIVING IT. THAT CERTAINLY WOULD NOT BE SAFE. WE WILL BE TAKING THE CAR BACK TO A DEALERSHIP FOR THE LATEST RECALL FOR THE ENGINE TIMING CHAIN AND CHAIN GUIDE ISSUE. THIS ALTERNATOR IS THE 180-AMP ALTERNATOR. WITH LESS THAN 15,000 MILES THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. WE WILL BE LETTING DODGE KNOW HOW DISAPPOINTED WE ARE THAT THEY HAVE NOT INCLUDED THIS 5.7L ENGINE AND ALTERNATOR IN THE RECALL THEY HAVE DONE FOR THE 6-CYLINDER ENGINE, AS I HAVE RESEARCHED IT AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE ON THEIR 5.7L CHARGERS.

ALTERNATOR DEFECTIVE.

180 AMP ALTERNATOR IS DEFECTIVE. DIED OUT AFTER 2 YEARS. CAR DIED ON FREEWAY. HAD TO REPLACE ALTERNATOR. MECHANIC SAID IT WAS DEFECTIVE.

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY FIVE YEAR OLD SON WAS QUIET ALL OF A SUDDEN. HE WAS SITTING BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT IN A BOOSTER SEAT, SEAT BELTED IN. HE MANAGED TO GRAB THE CENTER SHOULDER STRAP OF THE CENTER SEAT BELT AND WRAPPED IT AROUND HIS NECK. HE HAD BEGUN TO STRUGGLE TRYING TO FREE HIMSELF AND THE SEAT BELT TIGHTENED. I CALLED 911 AND AT THE SAME TIME WAS WAVING CARS OVER TO SEE IF ANYONE HAS A KNIFE I COULD USE TO CUT IT. FINALLY A GENTLEMEN PULLED OVER WITH A KNIFE AND I CUT THE BELT TO FREE MY SON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER SHIFTING INTO THE PARK POSITION AND EXITING THE VEHICLE, IT INDEPENDENTLY ROLLED AWAY AND CRASHED INTO A TREE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V240000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,950. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CURRENTLY HAVING AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS FOR THE SAME LIGHTS. TWICE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD DO SOMETHING FUNNY AND THE THOSE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON. THE SECOND TIME(CURRENTLY AND OCCURRED ON JUNE 4TH) THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. THE FIRST TIME THE ABS AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS TOLD IT WAS A ABS SENSOR, AND I PAID THE DEALERSHIP $250.00. THIS TIME LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER, THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING IT IS YET ANOTHER SENSOR CAUSING THOSE LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE. AND AS FAR AS THE AIRBAG GOES, IT'S FAULTY WIRING AND THAT IT NEEDED ANOTHER WIRING HARNESS. THESE REPAIRS WOULD COST ME OVER $600.00. I HAVE TWO FRIENDS THAT HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE AND ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A OVERALL DODGE ISSUE AS FAR AS THE CHARGERS GO.

LETS SEE PURCHASED USED DODGE CHARGER RT AWD 5.7 HEMI 8 MONTHS AGO ONLY TO FIND OUT ON JUNE 16/ 2016 THAT A RECALL FOR THE ENGINE TIMING CHAIN AND CHAIN GUIDE IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED IN FEBUARARY 2014 !!!! 28 MONTHS AFTER I GET NOTIFIED. !!!!( FCA ) SHOULD BE MADE TO REIMBURSE CONSUMERS !! DUE TO THEIR ENGINEERS TOTAL INCOMPETENCE WHEN DESIGNING THESE ENGINES WITH SUB STANDARD PARTS I PURCHASED VEHICLE USED FROM CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP WHO DIDNT EVEN FIX RECALLS THAT WERE ISSUED BEFORE I PURCHASED SAID VEHICLE 3 RECALLS IN 8 MONTHS ALONE SINCE IVE PURCHASED !!! I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THIS CAR WILL BE DRIVEABLE BEFORE ITS EVEN PAID OFF NEVER AGAIN TO DODGE JEEP CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. THEY ARE GARBAGE

I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A LEGAL U-TURN, WHEN TRYING TO PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE, I STEP ON THE GAS ONLY TO REALIZE THE SHIFTER POPPED BACK INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK. WHEN MAKING A U-TURN THERE IS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BY THE TIME I'M ABLE TO COMPLETE THE U-TURN AND PLACE THE GEAR INTO REVERSE THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I'VE BEEN BEHIND SOME BIG TRUCKS THAT DECIDE THEY WANT TO BACK UP. WITH A NORMAL SHIFTER YOU CAN QUICKLY PLACE THE CAR INTO REVERSE. WITH THIS SHIFTER I FEEL I'M GOING TO GET HIT. THIS POPPING OUT OF REVERSE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SHIFTER. I LIKE THE CAR ALTHOUGH I'VE HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MANY REPAIRS AND IT'S ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. THIS CAR I FEEL MAY GET ME IN AN ACCIDENT OR KILL ME BY NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT QUICKLY ENOUGH. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO UNTIL I GOT YOUR WEBSITE. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT WHEN YOU CAN'T PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE BECAUSE IT POPS OUT. THANK YOU *TR

I HAVE A 2013 DODGE CHARGER V6. AT AROUND 45K MILES I NOTICED A WOBBLY SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF MY CAR WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AT A SLOW SPEED. THE CAR DIDN'T FEEL OR DRIVE WOBBLY IT JUST SOUNDED WOBBLY. BECAUSE MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO PAY THE OUTRAGEOUS FEE THE DEALERSHIP WOULD CHARGE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SO I TOOK IT TO LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP INSTEAD. THEY TOLD ME THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS A BIT SURPRISED TO LEARN THIS BECAUSE BUSHINGS GOING OUT AT ONLY 45K MILES IS VERY PREMATURE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE TO FIND THAT LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. POLICE OFFICERS WHO DRIVE 2009 - 2014 DODGE CHARGERS ARE HAVING TO REPLACE THE TENSION STRUTS ON BOTH SIDES EVERY 15-20 THOUSAND MILES DUE THE BUSHINGS BEING TORN. CHRYSTLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF REPLACING THESE PARTS NOT THE CONSUMER.

A RECALL WAS SENT OUT FOR THE ALTERNATOR, I TRIED SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THE WORK DONE AND THEY NEVER HAD THE PART. RECENTLY I WAS OUT DRIVING THE CAR AND IT SHUTOFF AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR BEGAN TO FLASH ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY. I HAD TO CALL THE TOW TRUCK TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WAS INOPERABLE. ONCE THE DEALERSHIP DID THEIR DIAGNOSIS THEY NOTIFIED ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND IT CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DIE. HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE ALTERNATOR BUT I HAD TO COME OUT OF THE POCKET FOR THE BATTERY. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THE BATTERY DIED DUE TO THE BAD ALTERNATOR AND HE STATED THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW THAT STILL INSISTING THAT I PAY FOR THE BATTERY. I CALLED FOR TWO DAYS STRAIGHT TRYING TO CONTACT THE SERVICE MANAGER BUT NO ONE EVER CONTACTED ME. THEREFORE I'M REACHING OUT TO YOUR COMPANY TO FIND OUT IS IT FAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR A BATTERY THAT DIED DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR GOING OUT. THE CAR LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FLASH AND THE GAUGES CONTINUED TO GO IN ALL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS EVEN WHEN THE TOW COMPANY TOWED THE CAR. THE BATTERY THAT WAS IN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED DIRECTLY FROM DODGE LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ASSIST ME?

YESTERDAY EVENING, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE CAME ON. ALTHOUGH THE OWNERS MANUAL FOR MY VEHICLE STATES THAT AN AIRBAG LIGHT NEEDS TO BE CHECKED IMMEDIATELY, THIS MORNING I WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN A SERVICE APPOINTMENT DESPITE MY HAVING CONTACTED TWO LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIPS. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AT BOTH DEALERSHIPS, I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRBAGS ON MY VEHICLE MAY NOT BE WORKING. HOWEVER, NEITHER DEALERSHIP WOULD GIVE ME A A SERVICE APPOINTMENT UNTIL NEXT WEEK. WHEN I CALLED FIAT CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER DEPARTMENT, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO A SAFETY RECALL DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH ITS AIRBAGS. IT WAS ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE REPRESENTATIVE WITH WHOM I SPOKE THAT ONE OR MORE OF THE AIRBAGS ON MY VEHICLE MAY NOT BE WORKING.

SECOND RECOMMENDATION WAS TO CHANGE THE CABIN AIR FILTER (WHICH HAS A RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT AT THE 2 YEAR MARK). THIRD RECOMMENDATION WAS TO SPRAY AN ANTI-MICROBIAL/FRAGRANCE SOLUTION MADE BY BG INTO THE EVAPORATOR HOUSING. NONE OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE RESULTED IN A RESOLUTION OF THE ISSUE. MY $40,000 CAR STILL SMELLS LIKE A BARN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO ME CONSIDERING I ALSO HAVE AN 18 YEAR OLD HONDA CIVIC THAT HAS NEVER, EVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE, BUT MY PREVIOUS 2008 CHARGER HAD THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM AFTER 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP (ALSO PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER). I AM STARTING TO THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS WHERE THEY ARE FAILING TO ADEQUATELY SPRAY THE EVAPORATOR COMPONENTS WITH AN ANTI-FUNGAL AGENT PRIOR TO INSTALLATION INTO THE VEHICLE WHICH WOULD PREVENT THIS ISSUE FROM OCCURRING.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT 60MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ALTERNATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR RAPIDLY DECELERATE FROM 60 TO 19 MPH. I SMELLED BURNING SMOKING SMELL AND HAD TO QUICKLY GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE LANE AND TO THE RIGHT TO GET OFF THE EXPRESSWAY. I TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITIONING EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A 100 DEGREE DAY AND THE CAR REGAINED A TINY BIT OF ENERGY AND CONTINUED FORWARD AT 25 MPH. I MANAGED TO GET IT THE FEW MILES HOME BUT WAS SMELLING BURNING SMOKE THE WHOLE TIME. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED INSTANTLY WHEN IT SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE EXPRESSWAY.

2013 DODGE CHARGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEMS AND ALTERNATOR RECALL ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO, LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD INFORMATION. HE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, AND EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL. HOWEVER, ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING, THE LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND HORN STARTED TO MALFUNCTION, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER, SO HE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AS HE STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE TRUNK. HE OPENED THE TRUNK AND OBSERVED AND EXTREMELY LARGE FIRE. HE TRIED TO PUT THE FIRE OUT, BY USING A COAT, BUT CONSEQUENTLY, HE RECEIVED FIRST DEGREE BURNS ON HIS HAND. THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A CALL FROM AN INSPECTOR WHO STATED THE FIRE WAS A RESULT OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOING BAD. THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL REGARDING THE ALTERNATOR, WHICH DESCRIBED THE ISSUE HE EXPERIENCED. *JB UPDATED 09/10/15*LJ

I WAS SITTING IN THE TURN AND THE OTHER CAR HIT THE VEHICLE AT 45 MPH ON A 30 MPH SPEED LIMIT. THERE WAS MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE OTHER DRIVERS FRONT BUMPER, ALSO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO MINE. HOWEVER, THE ENTIRE BUMPER FELL OFF THE VEHICLE, THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 4500 DOLLARS WORTH OF REPAIRS TO BE DONE. AT ANY RATE THE BUMPER SHOULD HAVE SUSTAINED A DENT OR CRACK NOT THE ENTIRE BUMPER FALL OFF AND ALL PLASTIC PIECES HOLDING IT TOGETHER EITHER. WHAT IT IS WITH A 20K + CAR THAT A HIT EVEN AT THAT SPEED WOULD TAKE THE ENTIRE BUMPER OFF A CAR AND ALL PIECES HAVE TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE CONDENSER. THAT'S A REALLY BUM DEAL FOR A CAR THAT SUPPOSED TO BE SAFE. IT CAN'T HANDLE NOTHING. BUT AN OLDER CAR CAN PLEASE INVESTIGATE CAR STRUCTURE FOR DEFECTS. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS AND NOT FAIR AT ALL PLEASE ALLOW MANUFACTURE TO DO REPAIRS NOT FAIR AT ALL. WHO MAKES A BUMPER ON ANY CAR PLASTIC AND THE SCREWS TOO. PLEASE HELP NOT FAIR

I AM IN RECEIPT OF SAFETY RECALL P60/NHTSA 14V-634 I OWN A 2013 DODGE CHARGER SE 3.6L ENGINE, WA580 5-SPD TRANSMISSION. ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 2015, WHILE TRAVELING FROM LA VALLE, WI TO TOMAH, WI, I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 2015, I EMAILED A NOTE TO CHRYSLER ASSISTANCE THAT I HAD RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF RECALL ABOUT 2 MONTHS PRIOR, WITH NO FURTHER COMMUNICATIONS FROM CHRYSLER.

ON MONDAY, FEB 2, 2015, I HAD MY CAR IN FOR A REGULAR SCHEDULED SERVICING. I ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE RECALL, TO WHICH THEY INDICATED THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT IT, BUT DID NOT HAVE ANY NEW INFORMATION EITHER. THEY OFFERED TO LOAD TEST MY BATTERY, WHICH WAS FINE, INDICATING THAT I COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR. LATER IN THE DAY ON FEB 2, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM CHRYSLER ASSISTANCE INDICATING THAT MY COMPLAINT HAD BEEN FORWARDED TO THEIR SPECIAL TRACKING DEPARTMENT, AND THAT ONCE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, I WOULD BE NOTIFIED. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO LOOK INTO WHY CHRYSLER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO ARRANGE EITHER A BETTER PART OR AN ALTERNATE SOLUTION TO REMEDY THE RECALL. I DO NOT NORMALLY DRIVE THE CAR MUCH AFTER DARK, BUT TO BE STALLED SOMEWHERE OUT IN THE COUNTRY WHEN IT'S 20- ZERO OUTSIDE WOULD PUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY YOUNG DAUGHTER NEEDLESSLY AT RISK. *TR

THERE IS A RECALL I JUST RECEIVED IN THE MAIL TODAY ON MY CAR P60 (ALTERNATOR) AND I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD YESTERDAY DEC 6, WHEN EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN ON ME...WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH IN CONGESTED TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING A DEADLY ACCIDENT. THEY SAID THERE IS NO REMEDY YET BUT THEY WILL PUT A NEW DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR ON MY CAR LEAVING ME IN THE SAME SITUATION IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. I FEEL THE CAR SHOULD BE REPLACED AT THEIR EXPENSE AS IT IS NO LONGER SAFE IN MY OPINION FOR ME TO DRIVE WITH CHILDREN BECAUSE WE WERE ALMOST KILLED YESTERDAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED THERE WAS NO WARNING IT JUST WENT DOWN. DODGE WILLNOT GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR SINCE I AM 900 MILES OVER WARRANTY BUT THIS IS A RECALL SO IM STUCK WITH NO CAR AND EVEN WHEN I GET IT BACK IT IS STILL DEFECTIVE. PLEASE HELP! *TR

MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER HAD IT'S ALTERNATOR FAIL AT AROUND 12000 MILES BACK IN MAY OF 2014. I SEE THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOW RECALLED THE CAR (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000) FOR THE SAME ISSUE. HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER FROM THEM IN REGARDS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE DEALER FIXED THE ISSUE WHEN THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR IN MAY 2014 OR WHETHER IT IS STILL A LINGERING ISSUE. I ALSO FAILED TO GET A RESPONSE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IF THE ISSUE IS STILL LINGERING. I TRIED COMMUNICATING WITH THEM ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE AND THEIR 1800 RECALL NUMBER. THE 1800 RECALL NUMBER WAS A WASTE OF TIME BECAUSE THE LADY ANSWERING THE PHONE ONLY REPEATED BACK INFORMATION THAT WAS PART OF THE PUBLIC RELEASE OF THE RECALL. THE LADY ANSWERING THE PHONE ALSO TRIED TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE ITS UNKNOWN WHETHER OR NOT MY VEHICLE IS EVEN PART OF THE RECALL. THAT SEEMS STRANGE CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT MOST ALTERNATORS DO NOT FAIL AT 12000 MILES AND MY CHARGER MATCHES THE DESCRIPTION OF VEHICLES THAT COULD BE AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. GIVEN THE POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES THAT COULD OCCUR, I WANTED SOME REASSURANCES FROM CHRYSLER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

I WAS TOLD OH THERE'S A RECALL, WE NEED TO MAKE YOU AN APPOINTMENT. I TOOK MY CAR IN ON THE SCHEDULED DAY, BUT THE NEXT DAY I WAS TOLD THAT ITS A WIRING ISSUE AND THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY. THE FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED SO YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE IS WHAT I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER GROUP LLC. I DISAGREE SINCE THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE A FACTORY DEFECT. NO PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION SINCE THIS SAME ISSUE IS KNOWN WITH THE 2012 MODELS. WHAT DOES IT TAKE BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED ON THESE DODGE CHARGERS. ANY INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS CONCERNED MILITARY SERVICE MEMBER *TR

HAVING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH MY CHARGER WHICH ONLY HAS 7300 MILES ON IT. LIKE OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED, WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR WILL JUMP FORWARD. FEELS LIKE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING LATE. THEN WHEN DRIVING AND GETTING UP TO SPEED, THE RPMS WILL JUMP UP BUT THE CAR DOES NOT SPEED UP. THE LAST TIME THE RPMS INCREASED, I QUICKLY TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL, AND THE RPMS CONTINUED TO RISE TO 5K. BOTH ISSUES HAPPEN SPORADICALLY. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER 2X. FIRST TIME THEY HAD FOR 2 DAYS, REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION AND SAID THEY FIXED IT. I TOOK IT HOME OVER THE WEEKEND AND BOTH ISSUES STILL HAPPENED. TOOK CAR BACK IN ON MONDAY AND THIS TIME THEY HAD IT FOR 4 DAYS AND GAVE ME A RENTAL CAR. TODAY I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM (VALVE BODY SEPARATE PLATE PART) AND IS WORKING ON A FIX. THE PART/FIX WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE AT END OF MAY/EARLY JUNE, BUT SINCE IT'S ALREADY 6/5, OBVIOUSLY THAT DATE WAS NOT AN ACCURATE TIME FRAME. (STAR CASE NO. S1421000013 DATE 4/9/14) THE DEALERSHIP STATES THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX THIS UNTIL THE PART IS AVAILABLE. THEY COULD NOT LET ME KEEP THE RENTAL CAR (WARRANTY COVERAGE TIME MAX OUT), AND GAVE ME BACK MY CHARGER TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY CAN FIX IT. I WORRY ABOUT THE PROBLEMS AND WHAT ELSE COULD GO WRONG, OR IF THE RPMS WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH MY SPEED, CAUSE A WRECK, OR JUST CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE TRANS/ENGINE. NOT A HAPPY NEW CAR OWNER. *TR

WHEN STOPPING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE LURCHES BADLY RIGHT BEFORE IT STOPS. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOT A FIX UNTIL THE END OF MAY/EARLY JUNE. WE WERE TOLD TO PICK UP THE CAR AND CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT UNTIL SOMEBODY NOTIFIES US. IT IS VERY ALARMING EVERY TIME YOU GO TO STOP. *TR

MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER HAS POWER ADJUSTABLE PEDALS. AFTER OWNING THE CAR FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS, THE PEDALS BEGAN TO RANDOMLY MOVE ON THEIR OWN. AS I ALWAYS KEPT THE PEDALS IN THE FULLY RETRACTED POSITION, THIS MEANT THAT THE PEDALS WOULD MOVE TOWARDS ME AND IF MY FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE AS THE PEDALS MOVED TOWARDS ME. THE OCCURRENCES WERE RANDOM, SOMETIMES HAPPENING MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN A FEW MINUTES AND SOMETIMES AT LOW SPEEDS AND SOMETIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SOMETIMES IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN FOR SEVERAL DAYS, THEN START DOING IT AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A CHRYSLER DEALER IN EARLY JANUARY, 2014 AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T LOOK AT IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I DIDN'T TAKE IT BACK AND PUT IT ON MY TO-DO LIST AS THERE WERE A FEW OTHER THINGS ON THE CAR THAT I NEEDED FIXED AND WAS DOING A LOT OF TRAVELING. REGARDLESS, THE CONDITION STOPPED IN LATE MARCH AND DIDN'T OCCUR FOR OVER 3 WEEKS. AS IT WAS EXTREMELY COLD IN MICHIGAN, I THOUGHT THAT THE WEATHER MIGHT HAVE BEEN A CONTRIBUTOR TO THE PROBLEM. BUT THEN, IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN IN MID-APRIL WHEN IT WAS WARM, SOMETIMES 6-10 TIMES WITHIN SEVERAL MINUTES. WHEN TRYING TO MOVE THE PEDALS BACK TO THE FULLY RECESSED POSITION WITH THE SWITCH ON THE SIDE OF THE SEAT, IT WOULDN'T RESPOND AND I HAD TO MOVE THE SEAT BACK AND FORTH A FEW TIMES BEFORE THE PEDAL SWITCH WORKED. THERE ARE AND HAVEN'T BEEN ANY OBSTRUCTIONS EVEN CLOSE TO THE SWITCH AND THE CAR WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. I SUSPECT A SWITCH PROBLEM BUT DON'T KNOW YET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

WIFE COMPLAINED OF TRUNK OPENING BY ITSELF. CAR HAS KEYLESS PASSIVE ENTRY SYSTEM AND I SUSPECTED SHE WAS ACCIDENTALLY HITTING THE TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON. PROBLEM BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND ON TWO OCCASIONS SHE HAD TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF BUSY HIGHWAYS TO CLOSE THE TRUNK PUTTING HER AT A SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH. A BRIEF ONLINE SEARCH SHOWS AN HISTORICAL PROBLEM INVOLVING THIS COMPLAINT. AT FIRST THE PROBLEM WAS HUMOROUS BUT AFTER HER HAVING TO STOP ON THE LIE THE HUMOR QUICKLY FADED AND CONCERN AROSE. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALER FOR A FIX AND I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN AND WAS BLOWN OFF. THIS MAY NOT BE THE TYPICAL SAFETY PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH POTENTIAL INJURIOUS EVENTS BUT AN UNFORESEEN OR UNEXPECTED REACTION TO THIS SITUATION COULD LEAD TO UNINTENDED ACCIDENTS. *TR

CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2013 BUT AS OF TODAY CANNOT TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS UNREASONABLE. ALSO, THEY HAVE NOT ONCE TOLD ME WHETHER OR NOT IT IS SAFE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE AT THIS POINT I SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO A FULL REFUND ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

UPDATE 03/11/2014: SO I FINALLY CONTACTED THE ?CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE" NUMBER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WOULD BE FORWARDING MY COMPLAINT TO "THE BACK ORDER PARTS DIVISION". WHAT THE HECK IS THAT??? I HAD TO RETURN THE RENTAL THAT WAS COVERED IN MY WARRANTY BECAUSE IT ONLY PROVIDES FOR 5-DAYS OF COVERAGE. (YES, YOU HAVE A MINIMUM OF 5 DAYS COVERAGE EVEN WHEN PARTS ARE BACK ORDERED THREE WEEKS. I DIDN'T KNOW DETROIT WAS THAT FAR AWAY). THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON THEN TOLD ME THAT THE SERVICE MANAGER WOULD BE CALLING ME. FIVE DAYS LATER, I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER. I DID HOWEVER, GET A CALL FROM CHRYSLER ADVISING ME TO CALL THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO DO THAT? I'M THE CUSTOMER. THEY SHOULD BE SERVICING ME. SO AS OF THIS DATE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR FOUR WEEKS, DRIVEN IT FOR THREE DAYS, AND IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP EVER SINCE WITH NO ESTIMATED TIME OF REPAIR AND NO COMPENSATION FOR MY TIME LOST AT WORK, VACATIONS CANCELLED, AND EXTRA INCURRED EXPENSES OF SUBSTITUTE TRAVEL. NOT TO MENTION THAT I'M STILL ON THE HOOK BECAUSE CHRYSLER WON'T EVEN STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT ENOUGH TO AT LEAST BUY IT BACK. THANKS CHRYSLER!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED CONDENSATION AND WATER BUILT UP AROUND THE HEADLIGHT LENS WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO CLEAN THE LENS. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO LEAVE THE HIGH BEAMS ON FOR THIRTY MINUTES IN ORDER TO CLEAR THE CONDENSATION . THE DEALER REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT UNIT BUT THAT DID NOT REMEDY THE DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,500. UPDATED 05/12/2014*LJ

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AROUND 2AM ON TUESDAY MORNING 10/22/2013. I WAS JUST COMING OUT OF A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND IT JUST TURNED BACK TO 55MPH. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD SOMETHING IN THE FRONT END AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE AND IT STARTED MOVING BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT ME MOVING IT. I LOST ALL CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE AND IT SHOT ME OVER TOWARDS THE RIGHT AND SLAMMED ME INTO THE GUARDRAIL. I CONTINUED TO TRY TO MOVE THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO GET THE CAR AWAY FROM THE GUARDRAIL BUT THE WHOLE CAR SLID UP AGAINST THE GUARDRAIL BEFORE I COULD REGAIN CONTROL AND MOVE THE CAR AWAY FROM THE GUARDRAIL. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT ON 10/10/2013. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE IT FOR TWO FULL WEEKS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. THERE IS ALMOST $12,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE DONE TO THE CAR. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER GROUP REGARDING THIS AND THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE BUT ACCORDING TO THEM THERE WAS TOO MUCH DAMAGE TO TELL EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED SO THEY AREN'T WILLING TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED AND SAFE DRIVER, SOMEONE WHO HAS DRIVEN TRACTOR TRAILER OVER THE ROAD FOR 5 YEARS AND IF YOU LOOK AT MY DRIVING RECORD IT WOULD MATCH UP WITH WHAT I AM SAYING. THERE WAS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THAT VEHICLE THAT NIGHT AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. THE FACT THAT MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT THIS CAR LESS THAN TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT AND CHRYSLER WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT IS VERY DISHEARTENING. AND I NOW HAVE TO KEEP DRIVING THIS SAME CAR AND WORRY EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE TRUNK OPENED WITHOUT MANUAL FORCE AS THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,700.

VEHICLE MAIN COMPUTER EXECUTED JUST ABOUT EVERY WARNING CODE AFTER START UP. THIS INCLUDED A WARNING NOT TO DRIVE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND EPISODE OF THIS NATURE WITH THIS VEHICLE, THE FIRST OCCURRING ON THE FIRST DAY OF OWNERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT 13 OF THE FIRST 60 DAYS OF OWNERSHIP. THE DEALER "DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL" AND ERASED TROUBLE CODES ON ADVISEMENT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER HAS DEEMED THIS AN ADEQUATE REPAIR PROCEDURE AND WANTS TO RELEASE THE VEHICLE BACK TO US. WE FEEL THAT THIS IS NOT AN ADEQUATE REPAIR PROCESS AND DUE TO THE NATURE AND SCOPE OF THE COMPUTER CONTROLS AND SUBSEQUENT ERROR REPORTING BY THE COMPUTER, THAT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE MAY BE DANGEROUS. WHEN THESE CONCERNS WERE BROUGHT FORTH TO CHRYSLER LLC CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I ASKED THE AGENT IF SHE (AND CHRYSLER LLC) WERE SATISFIED WITH ASSUMING ANY SUBSEQUENT LIABILITIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM OPERATING THIS VEHICLE IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION, SHE SAID THEY DO. WE ARE NOW BEING FORCED TO RETURN OUR RENTAL LOANER CAR AND DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WHICH MAY NOT IN FACT BE SAFE OR RELIABLE. WE STRONGLY FEEL THAT CHRYSLER LLC HAS BREACHED ITS IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT MEET THE CRITERIA FOR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CHRYSLER LLC HAS NOT OFFERED A "BUY BACK", OR REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. WE HAVE PURCHASED ROUGHLY $80,000 WORTH OF CHRYSLER VEHICLES IN THE PAST 12 CALENDAR MONTHS, WE WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER IF THIS MATTER IS NOT RESOLVED.*JB

HEADLIGHT DEFECT. BRAND NEW VEHICLE. DRIVERS SIDE HIGH BEAM MUCH TOO HIGH. HIGH BEAM ONLY SERVES TO LIGHT TREES IN FRONT OF VEHICLE WHEN USED. REPORTED TO SELLING DEALER, AND LEFT CAR FOR SERVICE. SERVICE WRITER STATED THAT THEY HAD CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. BY "ADJUSTING THE HIGH BEAM". AFTER PICKING VEHICLE UP, AND TESTING THE HEADLIGHTS, I FOUND THAT WHAT HAD BEEN DONE IS ADJUSTING THE ENTIRE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT DOWN SUCH THAT THE LOW BEAM WAS UNUSABLE. IN EFFECT, WHAT THEY HAD DONE WAS ADJUSTED THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT SO THAT THE HEIGHT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE HIGH BEAM MATCHED THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HIGH BEAM. I RETURNED TO THE SERVICING DEALER, AND SHOWED THEM PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE LIGHT PATTERNS RESULTING FROM THEIR ADJUSTMENTS. THEY WERE AT A LOSS AS TO HOW TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEY STATE THAT THEY HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER IN AN EFFORT TO GET PERMISSION TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. UPON LAST CHECKING WITH DEALER, MANUFACTURER HAD NOT GIVEN PERMISSION TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET SHOW OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM FOR THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE TYPE. IT APPARENTLY CAN AFFECT EITHER THE DRIVER'S OR PASSENGER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT. *TR
