DRIVING CAR AND THE GAS PEDAL QUIT WORKING AND COASTED IN GAS STATION PARKING LOT. WAITED FOR A FAMILY MEMBER, AFTER 15 MINUTES I DROVE A 1/2 MILE TO WORK. UPON PARKING, I REVERSED TO ALIGN BETTER, AND THE THROTTLE WENT OUT AGAIN ALONG WITH HORN GOING OFF AND THE WINDOWS GOING UP AND DOWN. IN THIS TIME ALL LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON DASH. IT WAS TAKEN TO MECHANIC, WHO WORKED FOR DODGE FOR 14 YEARS AND HE SAID THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY CHYSLER, DODGE, AND JEEP VEHICLES. HE IS REPLACING THE LIPM TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED IN MANY OTHER MOPAR VEHICLES AND IS UNACCEPTABLE AS THIS IS MY TEENAGE'S CAR. I POS TO THE CEO OF DODGE TO PUT HIS CHILD BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS CAR. WHAT IF THIS TIPM BURNS/MELTS THE BOARD AGAIN? NO WARNING, MY CHILD WAS ON WAY TO WORK ON A BUSY ROAD, SPEED LIMIT 55MPH AND IT A GAS STATION WAS NOT TO HER RIGHT, WHO KNOWS WHAT THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO AND THERE WAS NO SHOULDER EITHER. YOU CAN DO THE SPECULATION. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED INVOICE YET BUT THE PRICE FOR TOW AND FIX IS $751.00.
DRIVING MY 2014 DODGE CHARGER CAR AND THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING CAUSE MY STEERING HARD TO TURN. WITH NO WARRANT. GOOD THING I WAS NOT ON I-10 HWY. I WAS ON THE STREET.I COULD HAVE BEEN KILL. I ALMOST HIT A CAR. THINKING IT WAS GOING TO GO AWAY BECAUSE IT WAS WORKING FINE. THEN THE DEALER SAID THE POWER STEERING NEED CHANGING. THOUSAND OF PEOPLE IS HAVING THAT SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED HER THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TEST DRIVEN, HE DETERMINED THAT THE FAILURE WAS LINKED TO A DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR. THE CONTACT THEN CALLED SALSBURY'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (13939 AIRLINE HWY, BATON ROUGE, LA 70817) WHO INFORMED HER THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V741000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE RECALL WAS SERVICED IN 2018.

MY 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER OVER HEATED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I PULLED OVER AND FILLED THE RESERVOIR WITH ANTIFREEZE. I DROVE LESS THAN A MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND IT OVER HEATED AGAIN.WHEN I CHECKED THE RESERVOIR IT WAS EMPTY. SO I PULLED OVER AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO THE MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT I NEED TO HAVE THE OIL FILTER/ OIL COOLER ADAPTER HOUSING, INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED. THIS WILL COST ME $788. THE PART I NEED IS ON BACK ORDER FROM THE MANUFACTURER. IN FACT THERE ARE OVER 34,000 OF THIS PARTICULAR PART ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A COMMON ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER, JEEP, AND DODGE CARS. HE WAS SHOCKED THAT THIS PART HAD NOT BEEN RECALLED YET. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN THIS PART IS RECALLED. IF I PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS VERY COMMON ENGINE ISSUE, WILL I GET REIMBURSED ONCE IT IS RECALLED?
CAR SHUTS OFF AT APPORXIMATELY 45MPH. ALMOST WRECK AND THEN FLICKERS BACK TO NORMAL OPERATING AND DRIVE HOME(5)MINUTES AND PARK. WILL NOT START BACK UP. TOWED THE CAR TO A DODGE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR RECALL AND TELLS ME TO PICK IT UP. I GO PICK IT UP AND NOW IT WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS, OVER HEATS IN DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT AND FANS WILL NOT OPERATE. DEALER KEEPS CAR AND SAYS IT'S A BAD WATER PUMP AND THERMOSTAT. AT THIS POINT I DO NOT TRUST DEALER AND REPLACE THE WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT, IDLER PULLEY, TEMP SENSOR, BELT TENSIONER MYSELF. START CAR AND SOUNDS GREAT BUT OVERHEATS AGAIN. NOW WILL NOT START AT ALL. I SEE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND DODGE DOES NOTHIGN BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. NOTE TO SELF....GOVERMENT STILL NOT PROTECTING THE LITTLE GUY. SIDE NOTE....WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE!

MY CAR IS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING.. I DO RECALL THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR CONCERNING THIS ISSUE IT WAS NOT FIXED..
MY CAR IS MAKING A TICKING NOISE. I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL WITH A BETTER BRAND AND THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED IT COULD BE THE ARM ROCKER THAT GOES BAD WITH THAT SPECIFIC ENGINE
WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES WE NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR INSIDE AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. SUSPECTING THAT THE FUEL ODOR WAS RELATED TO THE UB4 RECALL FOR THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CANISTER WE TOOK TO VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER SHIP. THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND TO BE A CRACKED PLASTIC FITTING THAT CONNECTS THE FUEL FILL TUBE WITH THE FUEL TANK. THE REMEDY BEING REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK AT A COST OF OVER $2600. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED OR IN AN ACCIDENT SO, IT IS MY OPINION THAT THE FUEL TANK AND FILL TUBE ARE A POOR DESIGN AND COULD FAIL CAUSING EXTREME HARM. THE DEALERSHIP DID TAKE PHOTOS OF THE CRACKED PART BUT I DO NOT HAVE COPIES OF THEM. THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED AT CHAPMAN CHRYSLER JEEP, LOCATED AT 930 AUTO SHOW DRIVE, HENDERSON NV 89014. PHONE 702-558-3000.
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RESOLVE RECALL UB4 FOR THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CANISTER SINCE 6/4/2020. SINCE THAT TIME I'VE BEEN "PUT ON AN WAITING LIST" FOR THE PART NEEDED TO RESOLVE THE RECALL. INITIALLY I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE 3 OR 4 MONTHS WAIT FOR MY PLACE IN ON THE LIST. I BEGAN FOLLOWING UP WITH THE DEALERSHIP ON 9/22/2020 AT WHICH TIME I WAS TOLD TO CALL BACK IN 2 WEEKS AND THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO ORDER THE PART AND SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. ON 10/2/2020 I CALLED AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. ON 10/3/2020 I CALLED THE NUMBER ON THE REMINDER CARD THAT I RECEIVED ON 102/2020 AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE IN SHORT SUPPLY AND "IT'S A MESS". I AGREE, I DON'T THINK CHRYSLER IS TAKING THIS RECALL SERIOUSLY BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T TAKE 4 MONTHS, AND COUNTING, TO RESOLVE AN ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I'VE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH IS CHAPMAN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP, AT 3175 E. SAHARA AVE, LAS VEGAS, NV 89104. PHONE 702-457-1061.
AS OF MARCH 2020 MY CAR HAS JUST GONE DOWN HILL. IT STARTED WITH THE ENGINE NOT HEATING AND COOLING PROPERLY, I SPENT OVER $1300 GETTING IT FIXED A FEW MONTHS LATER MY DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF AFTER 10 MINUTES THE FACTORY AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF WILL HAPPEN AND THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF, BECAUSE OF THAT I HAD TO HAVE MY BATTERY REPLACED. NOW MY AC JUST STOPPED WORKING IT NO LONGER BLOWS COLD AIR. I'VE HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE ON THE CAR AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, SPOKE TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME CAR AND THEY ALL SAY THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THEM AND NO ONE KNOWS WHATS THE PROBLEM IS.
THE PASSENGER SEAT IN THIS CAR STARTED SHEDDING BEARING COMPONENTS WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER WAS INFORMED, BUT EXPLAINED THAT THE SEAT WAS FUNCTIONING AND ADJUSTABLE AND SO NO REPAIR WAS DONE. LATER, JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, THE SEAT FAILED TO LATCH PROPERLY AND IS LOOSE BECAUSE THE BEARINGS ON SEAT TRACK HAVE FAILED TO STAY IN PLACE. THE SEAT IS NO LONGER SAFE TO SIT IN AND DOES NOT ADJUST OR LATCH PROPERLY. THE SEAT TRACK IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND THE PART IS NOT IN STOCK FROM LOCAL DEALER AND IS BACK ORDERED. THEY ARE NOT CERTAIN WHEN THEY CAN FIND A REPLACEMENT. THE PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT SAFE FOR AN OCCUPANT UNLESS REPAIRS ARE MADE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AS IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR IT BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER SON WAS DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED WITH SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACTS RESIDENCE AND LATER TOWED TO PROGRESSIVE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM DEALER (7966 HILLS AND DALES RD NW, MASSILLON, OH 44646) AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE CEASED AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A POOL OF WATER AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED YET. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 102,300.*DT*JB
ISSUE STARTED WITH POWER STEERING GOING OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS IN 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER ONLY 38,000 MILES (HAPPENED TWICE) THEN BEFORE IT COULD GET SERVICED POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITH SERVICE LIGHT ON (POWER STEERING RESUMED IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE, SERVICE LIGHT WENT OUT ALSO). I WAS IN A DRIVE THRU LANE, AS I LEFT IT AND APPROACHED ROAD TO TURN RIGHT ON A 45 MPH RD IS WHEN THE STEERING WENT OUT FOR THE 5 MINUTES. REALLY DANGEROUS, SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR FREE REPAIR
??? WHAT CAN I DO WHEN A DEALER SERVICE DEPT. LIE ABOUT REPLACEMENT DUE TO RECALL. ON 01/04/18 MY DODGE CHALLENGER WAS TOW TO THE DEALER, ALTERNATOR & BATT WERE REPLACED. I ASK IF THE AIR BAGS COULD BE REPLACE DUE TO ANOTHER RECALL, I WAS TOLD YES. PICKED UP THE CAR ON 1/08/18 ASK ABOUT THE A/BS AND WAS TOLD YES. 6 MONTHS LATER (O/A 6/7/18) WHEN I FILED THE PAPER WORK AWAY I NOTICE NOTHING ABOUT THE A/B. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER ADVISOR THAT IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED BECAUSE THAT THEY JUST GOT THE A/BS THAT WEEK. THAT THE LIE. THAT LIE COULD OF RESULTED IN SOMEONE'S DEATH. PLACE ADVISE.
MY VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION RED LIGHT 7-3-20. MANAGING TO GET IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP I WAS TOLD MY TRANSMISSION IS NO GOOD. MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED IN 1-2020. MY CAR WAS INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSIS TEST WERE PERFORMED ON IT AND NEVER DETECTED ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION DURING 2019 OVER THREE DIFFERENT TIMES BECAUSE OF MY CONCERNS ABOUT HOW MY CAR WAS DRIVING. UNDER THE DEALERSHIP POSSESSION THEY FAILED TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEMS THAT EXISTED WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION NEVER MAKING THE APPROPRIATE REPAIRS OR REPLACING PARTS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I KNEW MY CAR WAS NOT DRIVING PROPERLY THAT'S WHY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EVERY TIME THEY FAILED TO DETECT THE PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION ALLEGING THAT THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS AND CLAIMS TO HAVE FIX PROBLEMS THEY DID SEE BUT NEVER ADDRESSING THE TRUE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION KEEPING ME UNINFORMED ABOUT THE CONDITIONS OF MY VEHICLE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY BY MISLEADING INFORMATION THAT'S INACCURATE. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO ASSIST ME WITH REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN UNDER WARRANTY WITH CONCERNS HOW THE CAR DRIVES. CHRYSLER CLAIMS HOW WERE THEY SUPPOSED TO KNOW ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION IF I DIDN'T TELL THEM BUT I'M NOT A MECHANIC AND I TOLD THEM IT WAS DRIVING AND SHIFTING PROPERLY WHAT ELSE AM I'M SUPPOSED TO DO BESIDES BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE INSPECTED. I HAVE RECORDS OF MY MAINTENANCE HISTORY FOR ALL OF 2019 SHOWING EACH TIME I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION AND THEY FAILED TO MAKE THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRS. THESE SAME RECORDS ARE AVAILABLE FOR CHRYSLER TO REVIEW AND THEY STILL DECIDED TO NOT ASSIST ME WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION THAT THEY FAILED TO REPLACE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY INTENTIONALLY IGNORED THE PROBLEMS AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT REPLACEMENT WAS NEEDED.*DT*JB

MY 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER WITH 50K MILES STARTED LEAKING OIL FROM THE HOUSING OIL FILTER WHICH IS MADE OUT OF CHEAP PLASTIC (68105583AF)
WHEN IN PARK FOR A FEW MINUTES, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL DIM, THEN THE ENGINE SOUNDS A LITTLE ROUGH FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS. WITHIN A FEW OF MINUTES OF THAT HAPPENING, THE ENGINE WILL TURN OFF BY ITSELF. IT'S HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I CHANGED THE AIR FILTER AND USED FUEL INJECTION CLEANER. HOWEVER, IT DID IT AGAIN ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO LATER. I'M WONDERING IF THE ALTERNATOR IS GOING BAD. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS 3/5/2020
THE POWER STEERING FLUID EVAPORATES IN THE RESERVOIR (THE DODGE DEALER TOLD ME THIS AFTER I HAD THE FLUID CHECKED AND FILLED IN 2018 BECAUSE OF STEERING PROBLEM) AND CAUSES THE STEERING TO BECOME VERY RIGID WITH QUICK TURNING. I HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN QUICK RIGHT TURN TO AVOID A CAR IN FRONT OF ME (LOCAL STREET) AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN AS I NEEDED. THE STEERING GROANED. THE STEERING FELT VERY DANGEROUS AND THIS WAS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED. I AM HAVING IT SERVICED THIS WEEK AGAIN TO CHECK THE STEERING FLUID.*DT THE CONSUMER HAD A SECOND OPINON WHO ADVISED THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING. *JS

MY 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER DIES WHEN I'M DRIVING IT. THE MOST RECENT WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWNHILL ON A WINDING MOUNTAIN ROAD. IT DIED, AND THERE WAS NO PLACE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. WHEN IT DIES, THE LIGHTS, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ALL QUIT. VERY DANGEROUS!!! THE DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET, AND DODGE IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX THIS. LIKE ME, OTHERS HAVE TAKEN THEIR CARS TO DEALERS, AND THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG! DODGE NEEDS TO GET BUSY AND FIX THIS MOST DANGEROUS DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *JS
WARNING LIGHT CAME ON UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ON INTERSTATE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER BROWNS DODGE/JEEP (483 MEDFORD AVE, PATCHOGUE NY) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER (CAS-71808384) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.
FAULTY LIFTERS HAVE DAMAGED THE CAMSHAFT, CAUSING MISFIRING AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF REPAIR COSTS FOR A CAR WITH ONLY 76,000 MILES. LIFTERS ARE ON BACK ORDER FOR 6-8 MONTHS.
HAVE A 2014 CHALLENGER 60,900 MILES AND THE OIL FILTER HOUSING ASSEMBLY STARTED LEAKING OIL. HAD TO BE REPLACED. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION IS NOW STARTING TO NOT SHIFT PROPERLY.
THE WINDOW HAS SMART GLASS. THERE IS A SENSOR IN THE DOOR WHICH ALLOWS THE WINDOW TO AUTOMATICALLY SLIDE UP OR DOWN ABOUT 1\4 OF AN INCH SO THE DOOR CLOSES COMPLETELY. ABOUT 4 DAYS AGO THE WINDOW BEGAN SLIDING UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS ACTING UP DUE TO AN OLD BATTERY SO I BOUGHT A NEW ONE BUT THE WINDOW STILL SLIDES UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN CONSTANTLY BUT ONLY WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. I HAVE TO LEAVE THE WINDOW ROLLED DOWN A FEW INCHES TO MAKE IT STOP. I HAVE READ REVIEWS WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH SOME OLDER MODELS AND EVEN AFTER REPLACING THEIR WINDOW SENSOR THE SAME PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED.
A VIOLENT AUTO ACCIDENT AND NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED!?!? DRIVING EASTBOUND AT SPEED LIMIT AND A STOLEN EXITING OFF THE HIGHWAY HIT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR WHICH SPIN THE CAR AROUND AN HIT A POLE, GUARD RAIL AND SLAMMED INTO A ROCK RAVINE. AGAIN, NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED.*DT*JB
ONE DAY I TRY TO TURN ON MY CAR, AND IT WAS NOT TURNING TYLER WAS A MESSAGE TO CHECK THE STEERING WHEEL FLUID, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SO HARD TO MANEUVER, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE STEERING WHEEL PUMP, WHICH WAS REALLY ODD OF THEM BECAUSE MY CAR IS A LOW MILEAGE CAR STILL. I HAVE SEEN THERE IS A SIMILAR RECALL FOR CARS THE SAME YEAR AND MAKING MODEL AS MINE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO DISENGAGE WHEN THE CONTACT'S FOOT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS APPLIED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE RPMS INCREASED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 114 MPH. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND DISCONNECTED THE CRUISE CONTROL. AS THE CONTACT CONTINUED DRIVING WITHOUT THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND THE ALTERNATOR GENERATOR REGULATOR FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18E053000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL) AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V741000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM).

2014 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT WITH 17505 MILES ON IT FROM NEW. WITHOUT WARNING, FUEL PUMP CUT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH; MOTOR DIED AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN (INCLUDING POWER STEERING). LUCKILY, WAS ABLE TO COAST TO STOP ON HIGHWAY SHOULDER WITHOUT CRASH. HAD IT NOT BEEN A WEEKEND WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC, COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. FUEL PUMP DIAGNOSIS PROVIDED BY DEALER TWO-DAYS LATER AFTER CAR WAS TOWED TO SHOP.
MY CAR SHUT DOWN AFTER EVERY LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD APPEARED. WOULD CRANK AND THERE WAS NO WARNINGS AHEAD OF TIME TO LET ME KNOW THERE MAY HVE BEEN ANY ISSUES. WHEN MY CAR SHUT DOWN I WAS IN DRIVE ON MY BRAKES AT A LIGHT. HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING PUMP $1800.00 LATER.
THE COVER OF THE AIR BAGS IR GOING LOST IN THE AREA OF THE AC VENTS THIS PART IS BETHER NOW AS DASH IS PREOCCUPYING THAT IN THE CASE OF THE DEPLOY OF THE AIR BAGS DOUND OPEN CORRECTLY . I SEE OTHERS OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT OF THE DODGE CHALLENGER 2014
I WAS NEVER REIMBURSED FROM MY LAST RECALL WITH RECEIPTS FAXED AND UPLOADED ON SITE, AND NOW I MAY BE KILLED BUY MY AIRBAG, STILL WAITING FOR REIMBURSEMENT ON ALTERNATOR RUINING MY BATTERY AND BEING STRAINED MANY TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM, I SHOULD REPORT YOUR LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY SINCE REPLACEMENT PART WASN'T AVAILABLE PROMPTLY
THE FOLLOWING OCCURRED DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS OVER A PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS WITH WARNING LIGHTS ON: VEHICLE DISPLAYED ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS SIMULTANEOUSLY. THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR, AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT STATED THE COMPUTER SENSED BRAKE MALFUNCTION AND CAUSED A "LIMP MODE" CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION NOT TO SHIFT. THIS IS SO THE CAR WOULD NOT REACH NORMAL SPEEDS BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE MALFUNCTIONING. DEALER SHOP REPORTS SPEED SENSORS ON BRAKES FAILED DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT. THIS IS ODD BECAUSE INVOICE REPORTS THE REAR SENSORS FAILED WHEN NORMALLY THE MAJORITY OF BRAKING, PRODUCING HEAT, IS FROM THE FRONT BRAKES. RESULTING REPAIRS INCLUDED REPLACING BOTH FRONT ROTORS AND LEFT FRONT CALIPER AND BOTH REAR SPEED SENSORS, AND FLUSHING FLUID ALL DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT. THIS IS A CONTRADICTION THAT THEY REPORT THE REAR SPEED SENSORS FAILED. PERHAPS A CLERICAL ERROR. ALL IS DOCUMENTED ON ED VOLYES CHRYSLER DODGE DEALERSHIP SERVICE INVOICE # 883127, IN MARIETTA, GA. SEARCHING THE INTERNET SHOWS NUMEROUS BRAKE FAILURE STORIES DUE TO SPEED SENSORS IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR. SOME ARE EASILY "NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES". I CAN ONLY HOPE THEY FILED NHTSA REPORTS AS WELL. FINAL SYSTEMS FAILURE OCCURRED ON MAY 27TH. WE'VE HAD LENGTHY EXPERIENCE WITH MUCH OLDER ANTILOCK CARS OF OTHER MAKES WITH NO HINT OF FAILURE LIKE THIS ! I FAIL TO SEE WHY A CRITICAL FAILURE SUCH AS THIS WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE ON ANY SAFETY STANDARDS.
WHEN MAKING A TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP MAKING IT VERY HARD TO TURN
VEHICLE HAS INTERMENT STARTING. ONCE STARTING STATED THE "KEY FOB NOT DETECTED", WHICH COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO UNEXPECTEDLY CEASE MOTION. 2 MONTHS EARLIER, I HAD THE RECALLED; REPLACED ALTERNATOR FAIL UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR.

A FEW MONTHS AGO I NOTICED THE PASSENGER SEAT WOULD SHAKE WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND ANY SPEED. THEN SUDDENLY THE SEAT STARTED HAVING TROUBLE SLIDING BACK AND FORTH WHEN TRYING TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE REAR SEAT. THEN THE SEAT STOPPED LOCKING IN PLACE AND MY HUSBAND OFTEN COMPLAINED THAT HE WAS FEELING THE SEAT SLIDE BACK AND FORTH. THEN FINALLY, ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO DURNING A RAIN STORM ON THE WAY TO WORK JUST ABOUT TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRAFFIC SUDDENLY STOPPED, I WAS UNABLE TO STOP STOPPING TIME AND I HAD A MINOR FENDER BENDER (10MPH OR LESS). THE SMALL IMPACT MADE THE PASSENGER SEAT MOVE ALL THE WAY FORWARD, THE SEATBELT MANAGED TO DIG INTO THE SEAT POSSIBLE STOPPING THE SEAT FROM GOING EVEN FURTHER BUT THEN AGAIN THE SEAT MIGHT HAVE JUST RAN OUT OF TRACK. WHATEVER THE CASE MIGHT HAVE BEEN, I CAN'T IMAGE THE INJURIES THIS MIGHT HAVE CAUSED IF I HAD A PASSENGER SITTING IN THIS SEAT THEY POSSIBLY WOULD HAVE FACE PLANTED ON THE DASHBOARD OR MUCH WORSE. MY CHALLENGER IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR A NON FUNCTIONING PASSENGER SEAT I HOPE THEY FIX THE SEAT BECAUSE I HONESTLY DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE SEAT.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,254.
I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE BACKING OUT TO TURN LEFT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY TIGHT AND HARD TO TURN WHILE MAKING A LOUD NOISE AND AS I LEFT THE STORE IT DID IT AGAIN. I WENT HOME TO TURN INTO THE LANE THE SAME PROBLEM THIS. I WORLD LOVE TO ENJOY MY CAR SOMETIMES.
GAS TANK LEAK WHERE THE FILL LINE GOES INTO THE GAS TANK
WHEN I TRY ACCELERATE THE CAR'S RPM RISES BUT THE CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE. IT IS SIMILAR TO BEING IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND BACK TO DRIVE WHILE I'M ALREADY IN MOTION TO FIX IT. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH DODGE AND DODGE CORPORATE.

NOWADAYS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASH CONSTANTLY AS WELL WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED ON. NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUES ON THIS VIN BUT THIS 4 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 65000 MILES HAS BEEN WORKED ON 6 TIMES IN JUST THE LAST TWO YEARS DUE TO COUNTLESS ISSUES THAT INCLUDE THE WORST AND MOST PERSISTENT ISSUE, BEING THE FAULTY LIGHTING. OTHER ISSUES INCLUDE THE OXYGEN SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING RESULTING IN THE ENGINE RATTLING WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR ACCELERATING AND HIGH FUEL CONSUMPTION ( A FULL GAS TANK WOULD BE EMPTY WITHIN THREE DAYS DRIVING LOCALLY IN A FIVE MILE RADIUS) AS WELL AS TRACTION CONTROL FAILING RESULTING IN NEAR ACCIDENTS.

THE FUEL LEAK IS VISIBLE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND YOU CAN SMELL GAS WHILE DRIVING.
SEAT DO NOT LOCK INTO PLACE WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS VERY COMMON ON THAT CAR LOTS OF PEOPLE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. SEAT SLIDES BACK IN FORTH AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY IF YOU WERE INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL FAILURES THAT PROGRESSED. THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL LIGHTING FLICKERED AND VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE PUSH TO START BUTTON WAS APPLIED, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND, AT TIMES, WOULD NOT RESTART. THE DEALER (PERRIS VALLEY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 707-A E 4TH ST, PERRIS, CA 92570, (951) 657-7371) DID NOT VERIFY IF THE VEHICLE HAD A 160, 180, OR 220 AMP ALTERNATOR IN RELATION TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM).

ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AFTER STARTING THE CAR. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON BUT IS MAKING A LOUD CLICKING SOUND WHEN MAKING TIGHT RIGHT TURNS. DAY AFTER THE CLICKING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. THE CAR WAS STILL ON BUT WITH NO ACCELERATION. PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDDLE WOULD REV THE ENGINE WITH NO PROGRESS. I STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED IT OFF AND CHECKED MY FLUIDS UNDER THE HOOD. ALL LOOKED FINE. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, IT WOULD RUN THEN LOSE ACCELERATION AGAIN. CAR THEN BECAME UNRESPONSIVE AND TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS AND STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. SERVICE ADVISER SAID THE CAR IS NOT "COMMUNICATING." I AM CURRENTLY PAYING FOR A RENTAL OUT OF POCKET. FCA SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS BASED ON MY VIN. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE P60/ALTERNATOR RECALL.
I PARKED MY CAR IN BACK ROW OF A PARKING LOT TO AVOID DINGS. SET PARKING BRAKE. APPROXIMATELY 1 HR LATER MY CAR WAS SEEN ROLLING ACROSS PARKING LOT AND IMPACTED ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. I WENT TO DEALER WHO AFTER I EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPEN SAID HE SAW NO RECALLS AND WOULD NOT COVER. I THEN CALLED DODGE SRT AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD TRANSPIRED. ON HOLD 2 SEPARATE TIMES . DODGE SRT PREMIUM ISSUED ME A CASE# OF 34483211 ON JUNE 6 2018 AND ASKED ME TO BRING CAR INTO DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. ONCE CAR WAS AT DEALERSHIP THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED AND I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHY THE BRAKE CAME OUT OF ADJUSTMENT WHILE PARKING BRAKE WAS SET, BUT HAD NO EXPLANATION BEYOND THAT. I AGAIN EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL HAVING OWNED NUMEROUS DODGES OVER THE LAST 5 YEARSI THAT I COULD NOT EXCEPT THAT AND DODGE AGREED AND SAID THAT THIS WAS MOVING UP TO SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS, AND SOMEONE WOULD BE IN CONTACT. THE INSPECTION WAS DONE LAST TUESDAY THE 19TH THE INSPECTOR INFORMED ME HIS INSPECTION WAS COMPLETE AND I COULD PICK UP MY CAR. HE ASSURED ME THE BRAKE WAS WORKING AND THAT I COULD BRING IT HOME AND WAIT FOR THE INVESTIGATION BEFORE REPAIRING THE BUMPER AND GRILLE. I ARRIVED LAST WEDS TO GET MY CAR AND WAS TOLD UNLESS I PAY THE REPAIR BILL I WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED MY CAR BACK. I HAVE SINCE CALLED DODGE 2 MORE TIMES AND I AM TOLD THIS IS A SEALED FILE AND THEY CAN NOT TELL ME ANYTHING AND HAVE NO PERSON I CAN CONTACT TO RESOLVE THIS. MY COLLECTOR CAR IS CURRENTLY STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP OUTSIDE IN A PARKING LOT EXPOSED TO WEATHER AND WHO KNOWS WHAT, AND I STILL HAVE NO RESPONSE FROM DODGE OTHER THAT THIS IS UNDER SPECIAL INVESTIGATION AND THEY WILL CONTACT ME. I DO NOT HAVE ANY PAPERWORK FROM THE INSPECTORS REPORT AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULD ONLY GIVE ME THE BILL THEY SAY I AM TO PAY BECAUSE THE CASE# IS NOT SHOWING UP ON FILE DUE TO BEING SEALED.

THE POWER STEERING BECOMES VERY RIGID AND DIFFICULT WHEN MAKING A QUICK OR SLOW LEFT TURN WHEN DRIVING ON THE ROADWAYS. IN A PARKING LOT THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES DIFFICULT TO TURN LEFT AS YOU MANEUVER OUT OF A SPACE. THE STEERING BECOMES RIGID AS THE CAR MAKES A GROANING/GRINDING NOISE. THE CAR ALSO MAKES A WHINING/HIGH PITCH NOISE WHILE TURNING. NO CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED PERFORMED LIKE THIS. IT HAS GOTTEN SLOWLY BUT STEADLIY WORSE AND NOW I HAVE BECOMED CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. THE CAR ONLY HAS 48,800 MILES. THE PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO. I WILL NOW HAVE IT LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC THIS WEEK. ITS POSSIBLE THE POWER STEERING IS FAULTY, OR THE RACK AND PINION. THE POWER STEERING FLUID HAS NOT BEEN CHECKED BY ME SINCE OWNING IT AT 38,000 MILES. I NEED TO CHECK ASAP. THE STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR IS HIDDEN BEHIND THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL WELL, SO THIS MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON TO CHECK QUICKLY.

ENGINE WILL STALL OUT AND THEN RAPIDLY ACCELERATE. RECALL FOR FAULTY ALTERNATOR RELEASED IN JUNE. THERE HAS YET TO BE A REMEDY OFFERED TO FIX IT.
MY VEHICLE IS APART OF THE T36 RECALL FOR FAULTY ALTERNATORS; MY ALTERNATOR DIED LAST FRIDAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT ON THE ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE BEFORE IT ACTUALLY DIED, BUT DUE TO THERE BEING NO "GENUINE PARTS" AVAILABLE I AM STUCK PAYING FOR A RENTAL. I AM ACTIVE DUTY AIR FORCE STATIONED IN ENGLAND, AND THE GARAGE ON BASE CAN ORDER A NEW ALTERNATOR AND INSTALL IT, BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE MOPAR CERTIFIED GARAGE OFF BASE THAT SINCE THE PART IS NOT A GENUINE PART THEN I AM UNABLE TO RECEIVE A REIMBURSEMENT. I VERIFIED THIS WITH THE MILITARY AUTO SALES MAIN OFFICE IN GERMANY AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD STILL SUBMIT THE RECEIPTS WITH HOPES OF BEING REIMBURSED. BEFORE I TELL THE GARAGE ON RAF LAKENHEATH TO GO AHEAD WITH ORDERING THE PART I WANTED TO HEAR FROM THIS OFFICE IF I WILL BE REIMBURSED OR NOT. KEEP IN MIND MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION IS DEAD AND I AM PAYING FOR A RENTAL OUT OF POCKET, IF THE GENUINE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK I COULD HOLD OUT AND WAIT BUT THE LONGER I WAIT THE MORE IT SEEMS LIKE JUST TAKING THE PART THAT IS AVAILABLE IS THE CHEAPER OPTION AS THERE IS NO DATE ON WHEN GENUINE PARTS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ADJUSTING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT TO MOVE THE TRACK BACK AND FORTH, THE PARTS FRACTURED AND THE SEAT FAILED TO SECURE BACK ON THE TRACK. THE DEALER (CHRYSLER IN OTTAWA, 510 E NORRIS DR, OTTAWA, IL 61350, (866) 374-5828) INDICATED THAT THE SEAT TRACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

HAD TO REPLACE RACK & PINION STEERING AT 40,000 MILES. DIFFICULT TO STEER ESPECIALLY TO THE LEFT. ON ONE OCCASION WHEN EXITING A LEFT HAND CURVE THE VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO TURN BACK TO THE RIGHT. I HAVE GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS BUT DODGE HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. I WAS ADVISED THAT MINE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SO I HAD IT REPLACED VIA AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FROM DODGE BUT THEY REFUSE. AT TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED OR MOVING SLOWLY, IT LITERALLY TOOK BOTH HANDS TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE HAD 22,000 MILES WHEN I PURCHASED IT. I THOUGHT THE STEERING WAS JUST "STIFF" BUT NOW I REALIZE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THE DIFFERENCE AFTER REPLACEMENT OF THE RACK & PINION. I CAN NOW TURN THE WHEEL WITH ONE FINGER. THIS APPEARS TO ME TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND QUESTION WHY DODGE HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL, PARTICULARLY WITH AS MANY CASES I ALONE HAVE FOUND OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS.
MY SON LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING, LIGHTS AND STEREO WENT CRAZY. CAR SHUT DOWN AND LIGHTS AND STEREO STILL GOING WHEN TOW TRUCK ARRIVED TO TOW TO HOUSE 40 MINUTES LATER. HAD TO DISCONNECT BATTERY TERMINAL TO SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN. FORTUNATELY MY SON WAS NOT HURT OR ANY ONE ELSE.
THIS MORNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CURVY DARK COUNTRY ROAD AT ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR, THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF, ALL POWER WAS LOST. LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING. LOST POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, ALL LIGHTING. WE WERE VERY LUCKY WE DID NOT CRASH, BUT THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE FOLLOWING RECALL AS IT DESCRIBES SPECIFICALLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. P60/NHTSA 14V-634

ON DRIVE HOME FROM PURCHASING VEHICLE WE NOTICED A LOUD CLUNKING IN THE REAR END WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. CALLED DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. SALES MANAGER SAID IT WAS NORMAL, THEY ALL DO THAT. TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE, TECH TEST DROVE IT AND SAID IT WAS NOT NORMAL & SEEMED TO BE PROBLEM IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. WHEN BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIRS THEY ONLY UPDATED COMPUTER SYSTEM. PROBLEM PERSISTED WITH LOUD CLUNK AND HARD SHIFTING AT ABOUT 1500 RPM AND SLOWING AND ENGAGING GAS AT LOWER SPEEDS, TYPICALLY BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. TOOK BACK IN, AFTER SOME TIME INVESTIGATING AND COMING UP WITH NO DIAGNOSIS THEY CONTACTED MANUFACTURERS "STAR CENTER" AND WERE ADVISED IT WAS A SHIFT BINDING PROBLEM IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR CRASH WHERE I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO APPLY THE BREAKS BEFORE HITTING ANOTHER CAR. THE CAR MADE A SUDDEN LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ME AND I T-BONED THE CAR AT A RATE OF ABOUT 45MPH. AT HE TIME OF THE CRASH MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, SO I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS, AND THE SENT A INVESTIGATOR TO LOOK AT MY CAR. IN A LETTER THEY SAID, THE CONCLUSION OF THE INVESTIGATION IS THAT THE RATE OF DECELERATION NECESSARY TO ACTIVATE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS NOT PRESENT DURING THE ACCIDENT. HOW MUCH DAMAGE DO YOU HAVE TO DO TO THE FRONT OF A CHALLENGER IN A CRASH FOR THE AIRBAGS TO WORK. THERE IS OVER $12000 IN DAMAGE TO MY CAR, NOT TO MENTION THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN MEDICAL BILLS I HAVE ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN LOST WAGES. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ONCE IT IS REPAIRED, AND NO LONGER WANT TO OWN A CHRYSLER PRODUCT.

VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM VOLTAGE MAY DROP TO CRITICAL LEVELS, DISABLING ABS, ESC, ECM ( COMPUTER) AND CBC. THE DRIVER WILL HAVE ALMOST NO WARNING, RESULTING IN VEHICLE SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING AND MAYBE UNDER-HOOD ELECTRICAL FIRE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ALTERNATOR FAILURE...BREAKDOWN.. BEING STRANDED ON A 1989 OLDSMOBILE I OWNED YEARS AGO. I HAVE CALLED THE RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER THREE OR FOUR TIMES, THE RECORDED MENU OR LIVE PERSONS KNOW NOTHING ONLY TO SAY THEY ARE SORRY FOR THE ISSUE AND LONG WAIT. I HAVE CALLED MY HOMETOWN DODGE DEALER, WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY HAVE EXPRESSED BEING SORRY FOR LONG WAIT ( ALMOST 4 MONTHS). I HAVE BEEN RENTING CARS FOR PAST THREE MONTHS WHEN TAKING TRIPS LONGER THAN 60 MILES ONE WAY. I HAVE REAL FEAR OF BEING BROKE DOWN WITH ASSOCIATED WRECKER, MOTEL AND REPAIR COSTS. IN SUMMARY, THIS WHOLE THING HAS TAKEN TOO LONG SO I AM FILING MY COMPLIANT TODAY. *TR

I AM WANTING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW LONG THIS PART IS TAKING TO FIX THE RECALL P60 ALTERNATOR PROBLEM. CHRYSLER KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM JULY LAST YEAR, FINALLY ISSUED A RECALL END OF NOVEMBER AND STATES THAT THERE IS NO PART TO FIX AT CURRENT TIME. MY CHALLENGER IS AN EVERYDAY DRIVER. I DRIVE ON INTERSTATES AND HWYS EVERYDAY. KNOWING MY CAR COULD STALL AT ANYTIME WITHOUT WARNING ISN'T A GOOD FEELING TO HAVE EVERYDAY. THIS COULD CAUSE INJURIES OR EVEN WORSE FATALITIES ON THE INTERSTATES IF THIS OCCURS. I THINK MANUFACTURER HAS HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO GET A PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY NOW. I HAVE TRIED CALLING THE HOTLINE NUMBER ON THE RECALL AND THEY JUST SAY THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. I'M SORRY BUT IF THIS IS SOMETHING THEY MAKE EVERYDAY IN A PLANT THEY SHOULD OF ALREADY HAD THE PART OR THE ALTERNATOR TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON THIS PART IS TAKING SO LONG TO GET. *TR
I PURCHASED MY 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON JANUARY 6TH 2014. THIS WAS MY DREAM CAR AND I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD AFFORD ONE. SO IT SADDENS ME TO HAVE TO GO TO THIS EXTREME TO GET SOME INVOLVEMENT ON A ISSUE THAT IS BEING IGNORED. MY FIRST SERVICE WAS ON FEBRUARY 11TH.I TOOK THE CAR IN BECAUSE OF ENGINE NOISE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER THINKING THAT WAS THE NOISE. ON MAY 31ST AT 5,000 MILES THE DEALER REPLACED THE LIFTERS ON THE CAR. THESE DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE AND IT WAS GETTING LOUDER. YOU CAN HEAR IT INSIDE THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALER AT AROUND 10,000 MILES WITH THE SAME NOISE COMPLAINT ON NOVEMBER 8TH. I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE AFTER NO RESOLUTION. THEY REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALER TO DO A DIAGNOSIS ON THE CAR. I PICKED THE CAR BACK UP ON NOVEMBER 11TH AND THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THIS NOISE IS AND I QUOTE "AGREE THAT NOISE IS LOUDER THAN A 15 MODEL BUT NOISE IS STILL THERE IN A 15 MODEL. COMMON NOISE THAT DIFFER SLIGHTLY FROM VEHICLE TO VEHICLE. REVIEWED TSB AND STAR CASE. LIFTERS HAD BEEN CHANGED BY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. CONDUCTED PROCEDURE IN STAR CASE [XXX] AND INSPECTED COMPONENTS FOR FAILURES LISTED IN STAR CASE [XXX]. CONTACTED STAR AND THERE REPLY WAS SLIGHT VALVE TRAIN NOISE/CLATTER IS CHARACTERISTIC OF HEMIS. IF LIKE VEHICLE HAS COMPARABLE NOISE LEVEL NO REPAIR TO PERFORM. NOISE MAY INCREASE SLIGHTLY WITH MILEAGE. I HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER RECENTLY TO HAVE THIS LOOKED INTO AGAIN WITH NO LUCK. THERE ARE 60+ OF THIS ISSUE DOCUMENTED WITH VIN #S ON A FORUM WHICH I AM A MEMBER OF AND WE ALL WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PROVIDE INFORMATION FOR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 2014 CHALLENGER R/T HAS HAD A BAD TICKING VALVE TRAIN SINCE ABOUT NEW. THE TICKING, CLIPPING, SEWING MACHINE NOISE IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE,IT'S LOUD AND CLEARLY HEARD IN THE CAB AT AROUND 1500RPM AND UP. STAR CASE TAB REMOVAL WAS PERFORMED, NO GOOD.NEXT LIFTERS AND MDS SOLENOIDS WAS REPLACED STILL NO GOOD. NOW ALONG WITH THE TICKING NOISE I HAVE LOUD SPARK KNOCK IN MDS MODE ON PASSENGER SIDE. HAVE BURNT OIL SMELL AFTER ATTEMPTED REPAIRS. DEALER AND DODGE REP SAYS ALL IS NORMAL. WHY WAS ALL THESE REPAIRS ATTEMPTED TO FIX MY ENGINE NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S ALL NORMAL? WHAT'S NORMAL ABOUT LOUD TICKING VALVE TRAIN THAT CAN BE HEARD IN THE CAB, LOUD SPARK KNOCK AND BURNING OIL SMELL? IT'S NOT, THEY WANT ME TO GO AWAY! WELL I'M NOT! I QUALIFY FOR LEMON LAW BUT JUST WANT MY CAR REPAIRED. ISN'T THAT WHAT A WARRANTY IS FOR? COME ON DODGE STEP UP AND REPAIR MY ENGINE! GIVE ME WHAT I PAID FOR! DON'T TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS LIKE DIRT! *TR
BRAND NEW CAR DELIVERED HAD A TICKING SOUND ONLY WHILE DRIVING AT APROX 1800 RPM'S AND ABOVE.. COMPLAINED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD "NORMAL" FOR NEW CAR UNTIL ENGINE BREAK-IN. WEEKS LATER STAR CASE [XXX] PERFORMED ON CAR TO REMOVE TABS LEFT ON LIFTERS AT ENGINE ASSEMBLY. TABS REMOVED, NO RELIEF FROM TICKING. CHRYSLER REP AUTHORIZED DEALER TO CHANGE REGULAR OIL TO SRT PENZOIL 0W40 FULL SYNTHETIC WITH COST BEING BILLED TO CHRYSLER FOR NEXT 5 YEARS. TICKING IS STILL HEARD INSIDE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. DEALER REFUSES TO SERVICE CAR FOR "TICKING" ENGINE. I WAS TOLD DODGE WOULD NOT PAY FOR THEIR TIME TO CHECK THE CAR. I TOOK CAR OUT OF STATE TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO WAS NOT ABLE TO REPAIR TICKING PER DODGE. THIS IS NOT THE HEMI TICK. SOME CUSTOMERS ARE GETTING THEIR CARS REPAIRED, OTHERS ARE BEING BRUSHED OFF AS "NORMAL". SOME HAVE HAD ENGINES REPLACED AND ANOTHER HAS HAD HIS VEHICLE REPLACED. IF THIS IS "NORMAL" WHY AREN'T ALL 5.7 ENGINES DOING THIS? THEY'RE NOT! IT IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING TO LISTEN TO THE TICKATICKATICKA CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING. IT IS EMBARRASSING TO HAVE PASSENGER'S HEAR THE TICKING. I HAVE GATHERED ABOUT 60 OTHER HEMI 5.7 OWNERS TOGETHER ALL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY WON'T CHRYSLER/DODGE FIX OUR CARS? AN EMAIL FROM CHRYSLER STATED " "TO REVIEW OF OUR RECORDS INDICATES THAT THE CONDITION IN QUESTION IS A FUNCTION OF YOUR VEHICLE'S DESIGN AND IS NOT A DEFECT IN MATERIALS, WORKMANSHIP, MANUFACTURING, OR FACTORY PREPARATION. THESE ARE THE ONLY TYPES OF DEFECTS COVERED UNDER THE NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTIES." WHAT THEY ARE TELLING ME IS THAT THEY KNEW THIS PROBLEM EXISTED AND IT'S A FUNCTION OF MY VEHICLE'S DESIGN? THERE IS NOTHING IN ANY DOCUMENTS I HAVE THAT STATE THIS CAR WILL TICK AS IT DOES. I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IF TICKING WAS PART OF THE CAR'S DESIGN. FIX IT CHRYSLER!!!!! *TR
