The inside door panels are warping exposing a large gaps, that can allow hair or fingers to get caught when raising or lowing a window. Nobody was hurt. But could be a potential problem for me or others. Also warping could put pressure on door lock pins, if the warping continues, this could slow the process of existing the vehicle or a safety concern if the lock pin does not allow the lock to close.
unknown just want to take in for recalls
BEGAN FEELING VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING WHEN OPERATING AT LOW SPEEDS, PARKING, ETC. REPAIR SHOP INDICATED AN ISSUE REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING GEAR AND POWER STEERING PUMP ASSEMBLY. BASED ON OTHER COMPLAINTS AND ONLINE RESEARCH, IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A PERVASIVE ISSUE, KNOWN BY DODGE, THAT CAN CAUSE STEERING FAILURE AND AUTO ACCIDENTS. AS SUCH, RECALL AND REPLACEMENT SHOULD BE WARRANTED.
Front door airbags. Door trim has separated from the frame. This may impact airbag functionality. I have noted many issues and complaints about this problem. It is common across the Dodge line, not just charger or challenger.
The contact owned a 2014 Dodge Charger. The contact stated while driving 35 mph, when the transmission detached from the vehicle which caused the axle to also detach. The contact stated she lost control of the vehicle and spun until crashing into the tunnel wall. The contact stated the front passenger-side air bag was deployed before the impact occurred. The contact did not sustain any injuries or seek medical attention. A police report filed. The vehicle was not drivable. The insurance company deemed the vehicle totaled loss. The vehicle was towed to a towing lot. The contact called local dealers, Tacoma Dodge Chrysler Jeep RAM (4101 S Tacoma Way, Tacoma, WA 98409:(253) 475-7300) and Larson Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (2001 N Meridian, Puyallup, WA 98371: (253) 845-1725), made them aware of the failure. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V097000 (POWER TRAIN), however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
The passenger door panel is coming loose. Since there are airbags in this area, they might be affected by this issue. I believe this problem should be fixed as soon as possible.
2014 Dodge Charger electric power steering pump having issues turning steering wheel which I complain about 6 months ago after purchasing the vehicle for my son it a very serious problem concerning safety . They only recall 2014 Dodge Charger if the the power steering pump was install at specific Maufactured facilities, which is bs . Dodge should be responsible for any faulted power steering pump issue knowingly it exists. My son vehicle has this electric power steering pump issue and the manufacturer and Dodge dealer should replace due to safety issues. Please advise
Two Teens were found dead in the vehicle with the engine running while parked in a parking lot. The cause of death is pending Toxicology, Possible Carbon Monoxide poising. The vehicle exhaust pipes had been cut off directly behind the rear wheels, and above the bottom of the side panels. It is unknown who cut them or when they were cut. The police did not test the vehicle. The vehicle is available for inspection at our office.
The power steering pump was replaced because of on and off stiffness while driving. This was very frightening because the steering wheel will not release while turning. The dealership replaced the pump about 3 times and still cannot correct the problem.
PLASTIC OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS CAUSING MULTIPLE PERSISTENT LEAKS. OIL LEAKS ONTO MANIFOLD. REPLACEMENT PART WAS RECEIVED WITH HAIRLINE FRACTURE PRESENT AND OIL LEAK PERSISTS. MECHANIC CONTRACTED LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AND RECEIVED 45 DAY BACK ORDER ON THIS PART. I CALLED MYSELF AND WAS GIVEN NO ETA ON NEW STOCK.
I NOTICE OIL DRIPPING FROM UNDER THE CAR ON SUNDAY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON MONDAY MORNING AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ENGINE OIL COOLER AND FILTER HOUSING ADAPTER. I WAS TOLD IT IS VERY COMMON ON THE 2014 DODGE CHARGER AND THEY HAVE BEEN BACK ORDERED BUT I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE THEY JUST GOT A SHIPMENT IN SATURDAY. I WAS TOLD IT HAS BEEN LEAKING FOR A WHILE BEFORE I NOTICED IT DRIPPING FROM UNDER THE CAR. IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF THESE CARS WHY IS IT NOT RECALLED? I HAD TO PAY $900 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BROKE IF IT WAS MADE OUT OF THE RIGHT MATERIAL AND NOT PLASTIC.
MY VEHICLE HAD 114K MILES ON IT AND WAS RUNNING SMOOTHLY WITH NO ERROR ON DISPLAY. TOOK IT IN FOR THE 100K MAINTENANCE AND NOW IT HAS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON IT, AND WHEN IT SITTING IDLE IT'S MISFIRING AND MAKING NOISES. BEFORE I TOOK IT IN, BEFORE THE TECHNICIAN REPLACE SPARK PLUGS MY CAR WAS GREAT NOW HE TELLING ME IT GOING TO COST 5K TO REPAIR IT
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL WAS DETACHING FROM THE DOOR FRAME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER ANCIRA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (10807, I-10, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78230, (210) 558-1500) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DOOR PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.
WHILE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL. WOULD NOT GO BACK INTO DRIVE MODE. HAD TO VEER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS. WHEN VEHICLE STOPPED STILL COULDN'T PUT VEHICLE INTO DRIVE. TURNED CAR OFF VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON.
MY CAR WAS PARKED WHEN I NOTICED OIL LEAKING FROM UNDER THE CAR. AFTER GETTING THIS ISSUE CHECKED OUT IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION IS WAS THE OIL FILTER HOUSING. AFTER CALLING SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS I WAS MADE AWARE THIS HAS BEEN A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN ALL DODGE/JEEP/CHRYSLER MODELS 2014. SO COMMON THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART IS ON 100,000 BACK ORDERED.
MY STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT IS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO TURN AND MAKES SQUEALING NOISE WHEN TURNED. WHEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS TOLD TO ME THAT NOTHING WAS COMING UP WRONG WITH THE STEERING ON THE CPU. I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE STEERING PUMP GOES TO MAKE ANY FIXES. AFTER RESEARCH MANY OF OTHER 2014 DODGE CHARGER USERS HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THEIR STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKING OR LOSING ANY CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS.
PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT BEGAN FLICKERING OFF AND ON FOR MONTHS. FINALLY WENT OUT ALL THE WAY. REPLACED BULB. DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. CHECKED FUSES AS THIS SEEMED TO BE A COMMON ISSUE ON INTERNET FORUMS. DID NOT FIX ISSUE. NEXT STEP IS CHANGING HEADLIGHT PIGTAIL. I JUST SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2011-2012 CHARGER HEADLIGHT WIRING HARNESS. I BELIEVE THE DODGE NEEDS TO EXPAND THEIR RECALL AFTER ALL THE CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH ONE SIDED HEADLIGHT FAILURE.
POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILURE.
RECENTLY MY CAR WAS FOUND TO HAVE AN OIL LEAK. IT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE HOUSING/COOLING UNIT FOR MY CAR. FROM DOING RESEARCH IT IS FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL 2014 DODGE VEHICLES. THIS IS CAUSING OIL TO POOL IN THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE. THIS IF THE OIL IS NOT CHECKED REGULARLY CAN CAUSE A MASSIVE MALFUNCTION OF THE ENGINE OR EVEN A VEHICLE FIRE.
MY STEERING WHEEL HAS LOCKED UP ON ME WHILE I'M DRIVING AT LEAST 10 TIMES IF NOT MORE SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2014 DODGE CHARGER IN 2015. ALL THESE INCIDENTS WHERE AT DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS AND AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 0 TO 60 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD STAY LOCKED FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. EACH TIME THAT IT HAS HAPPENED, I'VE BEEN CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT EITHER HITTING SOMEONE ELSE OR RUNNING OFF THE ROAD. I WOULD TRY TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON TO SEE IF IT WOULD LOOSEN BACK UP. SOMETIMES IT WOULD WORK, OTHER TIMES IT WOULDN'T. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THEY ALL HAVE SAID IT MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO SO WITH THE POWER STEERING SINCE THE VEHICLE IS ELECTRIC. I'VE THEN TAKEN IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT DIAGNOSED AND THEY SAID NOTHING COMES UP ON THEIR TESTS THAT SHOWS STEERING WHEEL DEFECTS. I'VE ALSO CONTACTED THE ACTUAL DODGE MANUFACTURER BUT THEY WEREN'T OF ANY HELP EITHER UNLESS A RECALL POPS UP. I HAVE NO EVIDENCE TO SHOW THE PROBLEM OTHER THAN HORRIBLE PAST EXPERIENCES I'VE HAD WHILE DRIVING.
2014 DODGE CHARGER WITH PENTASTAR V6 DEVELOPED LIFTER TAPPING AND CAM DAMAGE AT 117,000 MILES. ENGINE HAS HAD MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BEFORE OWNERS MANUAL GUIDELINES. WHEN ARRIVING HOME FROM WORK A LOUD TICKING SOUND WAS HEARD AND AT THAT TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TOWED TO DEALER WHO STATED THE CAMS WERE DAMAGED WHEN LIFTERS CAME LOOSE.
WHEN DRIVING AND ACCELERAING LOST POWER TO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND POWWR STEERING.
ALL CARS TO DATE HAVE SAME PROBEMS LIFTERS WILL GO OUT, INTAKE MANFOLD WILL SUCK OIL INTO THE AIR CHAMBER, SEALS REPLACEMENT WILL NOT FIX. CAR HAS HUGE ELEC PROBEM, CAR PUT TOGATHER IN SECTIONS SO THERE NO SOLD GROUND, SO ALL GROUNDING POINTS WILL FAIL. WITH 60K MILES I HAD REBUILD DRIVE TRAIN TRASFER CASE TWO AXLES FAILED, CAR SUFFERS FROM COMPUTER REBOOTING WICH FOR JUST SEC EVERYTHING RESET, AWD SYSTEM HAS PROGRAMING PROBEMS, THE MOTOR WILL FAIL AFTER WARENTY, THESE CARS WAS MENT TO BREAK DOWN, THEY MENT TO HAVE PROBEMS AS NO DEALERSHIP TALKS TO HEADCORDS AS THEY LOSE SO MUCH MONEY TO FIX THESE PROBEMS, I BEEN LIE TO BY ALL DODGE DELEAR SHIPS, PCM MUST BE UPDATED AS IN RECALL ONLY PART PCM WAS UPDATED ALL THE SERVICE BUILTIONS ON IT THEY NEVER FIX, IN FACK THEY TOLD ME TO LEAVE, SO NOW I CANT EVEN GET PCM UPDATED, TO NOTE TWO DELEAR SHIPS I WENT TO NONE IN THE SHOP WAS WAREING MASK NONE OF THEM I MUST ASK WHY THEY PUT MY LIFE AT RISK
MY STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THE SAME DAY I WENT UP A STEEP DRIVEWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AS MY TIRES SLIPPED ON SOME SAND BUT THE LIGHT TURNED RIGHT OFF. THIS TIME IT HAS STAYED ON AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE MULTI-AXIS ACCELERATION SENSOR (AKA DYNAMIC SENSOR) INTERNAL FAILURE. FIRESTONE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PART GOING OUT NOR HAS MY MECHANIC. I AM HOPING SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THIS PART GETS RECALLED AS I DO BELIEVE THE STEEP DRIVEWAY CAUSED THIS ISSUE WHICH SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I AM ABLE TO STILL DRIVE MY CAR BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOW DISABLED AS THE CAR THINKS THE CAR CAN BE UNSTABLE/UNSAFE IN CRUISE CONTROL MODE.
CAR STILL ROLLING AFTER COMPLICATED EFFORTS TO EXIT IN AND OUT OF VEHICLE AS THE CAR IS STILL IN GEAR IT KEEPS ON ROLLING. IT TAKES TREMENDOUS EFFORT AND CONCENTRATION OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DANGER WHENEVER EXITING IN AND OUT OF MY CAR. THIS IS PRETTY SCARY.

FIRST MY CAR WOULD NOT DETECT MY KEYS (EVEN AFTER I REPLACED BATTER). WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD RANDOMLY COME ON AND OFF EVEN AFTER GETTING ALL REPAIRS COMPLETED. ONE DAY IT REPEATEDLY FLASHED ON AND OFF AND KEEPS CONSTANTLY. MY CAR WAS ALSO JUMPING AND VIBRATING EXTREMELY HARD AND THE ENGINE WAS TICKING. GOING SLOW OR SLOWING DOWN, MY CAR HAS A HARD TIME TURNING. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND RAN AN DIAGNOSTICS. AFTERWARDS I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING AND WHAT THE DIAGNOSTIC SAID. I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT FIXED. MOREOVER, MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I DO NOT HAVE A RENTAL. THE LAST TIME I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR RECALLS, I WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY RENTALS AND I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE MY OWN. ALSO, THEY NEVER TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL WITH MY BRAKE CHOCKS WEREN'T REPLACED. THE INDIVIDUALS WORKING IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIDN'T ACT REALLY PROFESSIONAL. THEY WERE DEMEANING AND SQUARING ME OF THINGS THAT I DIDN'T DO OR AGREE TO.
SAFETY AUTO PARK FUNCTION IS STILL STICKING EVEN AFTER THE RECALL REPLACEMENT- THE DEALER SAYS THE ONLY DO FOLLOW UP REPAIRS ON RECALLS 2 YEARS AFTER THE REPLACEMENT. I UNDERSTAND THE TIMEFRAME IS 10 YEARS NOT 2 BUT THEY WILL NOT HONOR
THE 2014 DODGE CHARGER WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION AT BETWEEN 35 AND 40 MPH NONE OF THE VEHICLES AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THIS VEHICLE WAS UP-TO-DATE ON ALL OF ITS PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND ALL RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE WHERE TAKEN CARE OF. THIS INCIDENT OCCURED AT WILLIAMS STREET AND E. UNIVERSITY IN DES MOINES IOWA JUST BEFORE 10PM ON SUNDAY NOVEMBER 01, 2020 THE DODGE CARGER WAS TRAVELING NORTH BOUND IN AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE OTHER VEHICLE (2014 CHEVY SILVERADO) BLEW THROUGH A RED LIGHT AND SMASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AT ABOUT 35 MPH.
CAR HAS CHALLENGES STOPPING SAFELY AND THE SUSPENSION IS SECURED PROPERLY. EVEN AFTER INSPECTION STILL NO SATISFACTORY CONDITION
SOUND FROM RADIO GOES IN AND OUT
ON 9/21/2020, MY CAR HAD AND PASSED A STATE & EMISSION INSPECTION. MY CAR WAS DRIVEN 200 MILES FROM DATE OF INSPECTION TO CURRENT DATE. WHEN I STARTED MY CAR THE "SERVICE AWD, ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON IN PARK." TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 10/26/2020, THEY SAID IT WAS THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND ASKED, IF I MIGHT HAVE HIT A POTHOLE OR BUMPS ON THE ROAD. I WAS IN DISBELIEF, BECAUSE I ONLY DRIVE ON SMOOTH ROADS AND MY CAR IS BARELY MOVED. I'VE PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW ON 9/19/2014 AND SIX YEARS LATER, MY MILEAGE IS AT 26,420. FROM NUMEROUS THREADS, POSTS AND COMPLAINTS, I'M SEEING A CONCURRENT PROBLEM WITH DODGE VEHICLES IN THIS MANNER. I STRONGLY BELIEVE YOU SHOULD LOOK DEEPLY INTO THIS MATTER, BECAUSE IT'S TOO COMMON AND COSTLY. CAR: 2014 DODGE CHARGE R/T AWD.
THE PANELS ON THE DOORS ARE WARPING AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS AND THE PANELS ON EACH SIDE OF THE SHIFTING CONSOLE ARE ALSO WARPED OUT. IT WILL CREATE A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE DOOR PANELS PREVENT THE AIRBAGS FROM DEPLOYING OR THE CONSOLES COME OFF PREVENTING A SAFE DRIVER OR THE PANELS GET UNDER THE LEGDS OR PREVENT THE DRIVER FROM SAFELY REACHING GAS PEDDLE.
MY POWERSTEERING PUMP AND ALTERNATOR WENT OUT ON MY 2014 WHILE I WAS DRIVING THANK GOD KNOW ACCIDENT OCCURRED HAD IT TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY PUT BOTH PARTS BRAND NEW 10 DAYS LATER IT GONE BACK OUT HAD TO HAVE IT TOW BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP
THE OIL COOLER HAS CRACKED CAUSING OIL TO LEAK WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY CAUSING NEARING $800.00 TO REPAIR.
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE CITY STREET AND AS I WENT TO TURN THE CORNER THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. IT TOOK ALL MY STRENGTH AND CAREFUL BRAKING NOT TO HIT THE CAR IN THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND THEY TELL ME THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS OUT. AFTER DOING A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE I FIND THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE. IT IS SO COMMON OF AN ISSUE THAT DODGE IS IN SHORT SUPPLY OF NEW POWER STEERING PUMPS WITH ONLY LIKE 3 IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING.
THE DOOR PANELS HAVE BECOME UNGLUED VERY SIGNIFICANTLY
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 58 MPH AND POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETY OUT! NO WARNING AT ALL! DASH LIGHTS WENT CRAZY. WARNING LIGHTS: SERVICE SHIFTER, SERVICE POWER STEERING, AUTO PARK DISABLED, CHECK ENGINE, THEN DASH LIGHTS STARTED BLACKING COMPLETELY OUT. VERY DANGEROUS! I TOOK TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAYS THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAS BEEN FIRED. AFTER READING THE ALTENATOR RECALL, THIA EXPLAINED EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED! ALL RECALLS HAVE BEEN FIXED ON THIS VEHICLE. AFTER CONTACTING LOCAL DEALERSHIPS I LEARNED THAT THERE ARE 89 PEOPLE JUST IN MY AREA NEEDING THIS SAME PUMP AND IT IS ON BACK ORDER. THIS TELLS ME THAT THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! NOW $1800 TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH ALTENATOR RECALL COMPLETED. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR, CANT DRIVE,CANT AFFORD TO FIX, AND WONT SELL TO SOMEONE ELSE KNOWING HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. I CANT IMAGINE THAT WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS NOT AN ALL CONSUMING ISSUE AND PUTS MANY LIVES AT RISK
BACKING OUT OF PARKING PLACE POWER STEERING LIGHTS LIT UP ON DASH, CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED, HAD I BEEN ON THE ROAD WOULD HAVE CAUSED A TERRIBLE CRASH. HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER FOR SOME ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THE CONTACT ALSO HAD A RECALL AND THAT WORK WAS COMPLETED. AFTER THAT VISIT, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THE CONTACT HAD HER BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED OUT BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND ALL WAS FINE. AFTERWARDS THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN, THE RADIO AND THE A/C, AND THE WINDOW WIPERS WOULD TURN ON BY THEMSELVES. WHEN THAT HAPPENED THE ENTIRE CONSOLE WOULD LIGHT UP AS WELL. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER GOSSETT CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, RAM 1901 COVINGTON PIKE, MEMPHIS, TN 38128 (901) 363-6556 AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY STILL UNREPAIRED AT THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.
WENT TO HAVE HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND IT PULLED UP MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T WORK
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S AND FRONT PASSENGER'S DOORS WERE DETACHING FROM THE DOOR PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LANDMARK DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (6850 MT ZION BLVD, MORROW, GA 30260) WHERE THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE WITH THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD YET TO BE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000.
ALL DASH INDICATORS STARTED FLASHING AND THERE WAS A MESSAGE STATING NOT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK OR IT WILL NOT GO BACK INTO A GEAR. SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IF THERE WERE TRAFFIC, IT WOULD HAVE. PARKED CAR, STARTED IT A FEW HOURS LATER AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. DRIVING ON RESIDENTIAL STREET AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT SUDDENLY AGAIN. SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE HAS REMAINED AND THE POWER STEERING NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! I AM THANKFUL MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS NOT DRIVING ANY OF THE TIMES IT HAPPENED!
BACKING UP TO PARK, POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED. HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED, NOT ABLE TO DRIVE. SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT POWER STEERING FAILURE. HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, WOULD'VE CRASHED!
WHEN I DRIVING (I MOTION) I FEEL LIKE THE CAR WANTS TO TURN IT OFF BY IT SELF, THE PANEL LOOKS LIKE IF I TURN IT ON AND OFF, AND IT WONT START WHEN I SPEED UP
I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD THE ALTERNATOR FIXED ON RECALL AND THIS IS NOT TRUE. I HAD THE ALTERNATOR FIXED 1 YEAR AGO FOR $600 AND IT IS NOW MESSING UP AGAIN. I KNOW THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND IM NOT SURE WHY IT HAS ME CODED IN THE SYSTEM AS IF I ALREADY HAD THAT RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. PLEASE ADVISE.
WHILE DRIVING ALL THE WARNING ON THE DRIVERS PANEL STATED TO DING AND WARNING TO NOT PUT CAR INTO PARK OR IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BE PUT BACK INTO GEAR. THE SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING, THEY STAYED IN MAKING ALL SORT OF NOISE FOR A COUPLE MINUTES. POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING ALL OF A SUDDEN EITHER. I ALMOST WRECKED INTO THE CAR BESIDE ME. PARKED THE CAR ONCE I GOT HOME, BOYFRIEND LOOKED AT IT AND IT SEEMED FINE TO HIM. THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE DIFFERENT TIMES SINCE THEN. THE POWER STEERING WILL JUST STOP WORKING. THE SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT COMES ON NOW AND THEN. IT IS DANGEROUS! I AM JUST HAPPY MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT DRIVING WHEN IT HAPPENED, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC AS SHE HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVING JUST UNDER 2 YEARS. I HAVE LOOKED THIS UP AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. IT IS SO DANGEROUS WHEN THE STEERING GOES OUT, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS! *TR
I OWN A 2014 DODGE CHARGER SE AND HAD A FAULTY ALTERNATOR. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. PER NHTSA'S RECALL T36 AND T75 SOME ALTERNATORS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED MY VEHICLES ALTERNATOR. BEFORE MAY 27TH, 2018, OUR ALTERNATOR FAILED. THE CAR WOULD NOT START, AT THE TIME WE WERE NOT SURE IF IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. I HAD A LOCAL AUTO STORE TEST THE ALTERNATOR AND IT PASSED. SO, WE PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY. WE BELIEVED THAT RESOLVED THIS ISSUE. AFTER A MONTH, THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. IT APPEARS THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT CHARGING THE BATTERY CORRECTLY. THE ISSUE WAS HIT OR MISS LUCKILY, WE DID NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. THIS CAR IS NOT AN EVERYDAY VEHICLE SO IT COULD GO A COUPLE OF WEEKS WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN. TO ALLEVIATE THE ISSUE, I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR ON SEPTEMBER 15TH 2018. SINCE THAT TIME EVERYTHING HAS BEEN WORKING CORRECTLY. ATTACHED ARE A PHOTO OF THE OEM ALTERNATOR, THE AFTERMARKET ALTERNATOR, AND RECEIPT. I BELIEVE DODGE CHRYSLER SHOULD EXTEND THEIR CURRENT RECALLS TO INCLUDE THE DENSO 42100 ' 0750 ALTERNATOR. ON MAY 27TH, 2018 OUR ALTERNATOR FAILED. AT THE TIME WE WERE. *TR
CAR DISPLAYING BATTERY SAVER MODE HAVE HAD BATTERY CHECKED AND ALWAYS WITH A PASSING DIAGNOSIS I HAVE GOTTEN CAR CHECKED AND IT MIGHT BE A FAULTY ALTERNATOR CAR HAS DONDE THIS SINCE STARTING OF SECOND YEAR OF PURCHASE BUT NEVER HAVE OUT MUCH ATTENTION TO THIS U TIL NOW THAT CAR SHUTS OFF AND HAVE TO GET JUMPED IN ORDER TO START I HAVE SEEN IN FORUMS THAT PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND IS REOCCURRING IN THIS MODEL AND YEAR
VEHICLE WAS MAKING A GRUMBLING NOISE AT VERY LOW SPEED WHILE TURNING IN ANY DIRECTION, SUCH AS BACKING OUT OR A DRIVEWAY & TURNING WHEELS TO FACE THE PROPER DIRECTION TO EXIT. THIS LED ME TO TAKE THE CAR INTO A VEHICLE REPAIR SHOP WHERE CERTIFIED ASI MECHANICS COULD INSPECT & HOPEFULLY REPAIR. WHAT THEY DISCOVERED WAS THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL WAS FAIRLY LOW. THEY SIMPLY ADDED THE PROPER & SPECIFIC FLUID TYPE THAT IS USED IN THAT PARTICULAR VEHICLE MADE BY THE CAR MANUFACTURER MOPAR. THIS SURPRISINGLY FIXED THE ISSUE TO WHAT I AM ASSUMING WILL BE A TEMPORARY RESOLUTION. BASED ON MY OWN EXTENSIVE RESEARCH & COMMON KNOWLEDGE, I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. SOMEHOW THE FLUID IS LEAKING, OR SEEPING OUT SOMEWHERE FROM THE ALLEGEDLY SEALED STEERING SYSTEM. WHAT I DISCOVERED BASED ON RESEARCH, IS THAT OBVIOUSLY A SEALED SYSTEM SHOULD NOT LEAK, OR SEEP, & WITH IT BEING SEALED IT CANNOT EVAPORATE. MOST ISSUES W/THE VEHICLE STEERING PUMP HAVE BEEN LEAKS FROM AROUND THE 2 SEALS OF THE RESERVOIR FLUID TANK. A REPLACEMENT TANK & SEALS CAN BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY RATHER THAN ENTIRE PUMP ASSEMBLY WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. ANOTHER COMMON ISSUE IS THAT THE "RACK" OUTER SEAL LEAKS. UNFORTUNATELY THE ATF+4 STOCK FLUID IS AGGRESSIVE ON THESE SEALS & THEY CAN/WILL BECOME POROUS OVER TIME & LEAK. ADDITIONALLY, THE PUMP, IT'S HOSES, & THE SEALS ON THE ENDS OF THE RACK ARE NOW KNOWN AS LEAK POINTS. THE ENTIRE SYSTEM SHOULD BE RECALLED & REPLACED AFTER FIXING THESE ISSUES. IF THE FLUID BECOMES TOO LOW THE VEHICLE & ITS DRIVER/OCCUPANTS WILL EXPERIENCE A POWER STEERING FAILURE IN WHICH THE STEERING WILL SIMPLY SHUT DOWN & NOT PERFORM ITS FUNCTION - STEERING! I DON'T NEED TO COMMENT AS TO HOW EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THIS COULD BE; NOT JUST FOR OCCUPANTS IN THE SAID VEHICLE, BUT THE OCCUPANTS IN OTHER VEHICLES. MY YOUNG SON DRIVES THIS EXACT VEHICLE, & I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED. *TR
VEHICLE AIR COOLING SYSTEM FREQUENTLY SHORTS OUT, BLOWING HOT AIR INSTEAD, EVEN WHEN ON MAX COOL MODE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS OR WHILE STATIONARY; BUT DEPENDING ON OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE CAN ALSO HAPPEN ON HIGHWAY. IT SOUNDS AS IF THE COMPRESSOR SHUTS OFF. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE SYSTEM RECHARGED THE LAST TWO SUMMERS AND HAVING THE SAME ISSUE NOW. NO FREON LEAKS WERE FOUND. *TR
THE LED'S HAVE STARTED TO GO OUT (NOT ILLUMINATE) IN THE CENTER, DECK MOUNTED TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM AS IT PROVIDES REAR ILLUMINATION AT NIGHT. APPARENTLY, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM. *TR
DRIVING CAR DOWN HIGHWAY CAR AT APPROXIMATELY 55-60 ACCELERATES DOES A 180 AND CONTINUES DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN REVERSE AT 60-70 MILES PER HOUR FOR APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE BEFORE BEING STOPPED BY RUNNING IN TO DITCH. I HAS 2 HANDS ON THE WHEEL AT ALL TIMES THANK GOD NOTHING STOPPED THE CAR FROM GOING INTO REVERSE AND NOT SURE HOW TRANSMISSION WAS ABLE TO GO INTO REVERSE WITHOUT DEPRESSING BRAKE OR TOUCHING SHIFT LEVER. THERE WERE BARRIERS ON BOTH SIDES AND NO SHOULDER THE CAR DID THE 180 WITHOUT CRASHING INTO BARRIERS I WAS IN LEFT LANE GOING FORWARD AFTER 180 WAS IN LEFT LANE GOING IN REVERSE CAR WAS GOING PRETTY STRAIGHT IN REVERSE KNEW I HAD TO STOP CAR BUT NOT TOO FAST KNEW WAS GOING TO HIT SOMETHING BECAUSE ROAD DOES NOT HAVE MANY STRAIGHT POINT AS I SLOWED THE CAR THE BACK END SLID DOWN HILL OFF SIDE OF ROAD THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN. *TR
THE DODGE CHARGER HAS A CRITICAL DESIGN FLAW ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP LOCATED BELOW THE DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER SEAT. THE FUEL PUMP HOUSING COVER IS PRONE TO CRACKING AND THUS RESULTS IN FUEL LEAKING OUTSIDE THE FUEL PUMP AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS. THE FUEL LEAKING WILL OCCUR REGARDLESS OF IF THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THE POORLY DESIGNED FUEL PUMP COVER DOES VERY LITTLE TO CONTAIN THE FUEL INSIDE THE FUEL PUMP AND CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE PETROL IS BEING LEAKED INTO MANY DIFFERENT AREAS THAT CAN EASILY RESULT IN VEHICLE FIRES AND DEATH. MY DODGE CHARGER IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND THIS FUEL LEAK HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH VEHICLE MAINTENANCE OR DRIVING HABITS. THE FUEL PUMP IS SIMPLY DESIGNED IN A RECKLESS MANNER WHICH HAS ALREADY RESULTED IN MULTIPLE VEHICLE FIRES AND DEATH IN DODGE CHARGERS AND DODGE CHALLENGERS. I URGE YOU TO PLEASE ACT SWIFTLY IN RECALLING AND RESOLVING THIS MATTER BEFORE MORE LIVES ARE LOST. *TR
LAST YEAR I STARTED TO HEAR A BANGING SOUND FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC (CARMAX) AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY WERE UNSURE. SO I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I HAD A NAIL IN MY TIRE SO I WENT AND GOT IT FIXED. THE SOUND STILL HAPPENING I WENT BACK, THIS TIME THEY RECOMMENDED CHANGING THE REINFORCEMENT TUNNEL. AFTER THAT THE SOUND WAS STILL THERE AND THEY RECOMMENDED CHANGING THE REAR SHOCKS, DID THAT AND SOUNDS STILL THERE. THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING VISIBLE THAT IS WRONG SO EVERYTHING IS FINE. IF EVERYTHING IS FINE WHY THE SOUND. IT HAS BEEN A YEAR AND IT IS JUST ANNOYING AND SCARY TO CONSTANTLY HEAR THAT BANGING NOISE. IT ONLY HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS AND IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING FORWARD AND IN REVERSE. *TR
THE REAR FUSE BOX BURNT OUT IN THE TRUNK OF THE CAR; ALMOST CAUSING A CAR FIRE AND THE FUSE BOX IS NONE OPERATIONAL BUT LOCATED NEXT TO THE TRANSMISSION, CONTROL PANEL,SEATS AND AIRBAGS FUSES AND MANY OTHER OPERATIONAL SAFETY FEATURES OF THE CAR. THE CAR HAS HAD ALL RECALLS, SERVICES, MAINTAINED METICULOUSLY WITH ONE OWNER NO ACCIDENTS.
AS I WAS MAKING A TURN (CAR WAS IN MOTION ON STREET), THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFENED UP, THE CAR BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL. AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN I PULLED INTO A EMPTY PARKING SPACE. I TURNED OFF THE AND THEN TURNED ON THE CAR. I THEN RECEIVED A MESSAGE FROM THE CAR SAYING "SERVICE POWER STEERING". I DECIDED TO DRIVE AROUND THE BLOCK TO SEE IF THERE WOULD BE ANY CHANGE IN HANDLING OF THE CAR. THERE WAS NONE, SO I PARKED THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY.

AROUND 70K MILES I NOTICED MY CAR NOT WANTING TO TURN LEFT, ESPECIALLY WHEN BRAKING. THE WHEEL SEEMS TO LOCK UP AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I ALSO NOTICED A KNOCKING, RATTLING TYPE NOISE, THAT SEEMS TO COME FROM THE WHEEL AREA, WHEN TURNING EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT AND AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. I TOOK MY CAR TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED NEW BRAKES, ROTORS AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS REPLACED. WHICH I HAD THEM REPLACED. I TOOK CAR BACK BECAUSE IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING, I WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT SEE OR KNOW ANY REASON WHY IT'S STILL HAPPENING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CODES PS401 AND P06DD WAS REPORTED. THE LOCKING OF THE WHEEL IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 25-30 MPH THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL TICKING NOISE DETECTED. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CRYSTAL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF BROOKSVILLE 14358 CORTEZ BLVD, BROOKSVILLE, FL 34613 (352) 597-1265 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LIFTER AND CAMSHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER.

IN MY CAR THE OIL FILTER ASSEMBLY WAS LEAKING OIL AND WAS REPLACED. I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH EVERY 3.6L ENGINE BY DODGE 2014 AND UP. I SPOKE WITH A DODGE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND HE SAID IT WAS THE WORST DESIGN THEY HAVE EVER PUT ONTO THIS MOTOR DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF CARS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE DEALT WITH ASAP BECAUSE FOR NUMEROUS REASONS. FIRST REASON BEING OIL FLYING THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE CAB CAN CAUSE A FIRE. SECOND REASON BEING THAT OIL LEAKING WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR OTHER MOTORISTS WHETHER IT'S SLIPPING ON OIL LEAKED BY MY VEHICLE OR FROM OIL BEING SPRAYED UP FROM MY VEHICLE COATING THEIR WINDSHIELD. ALSO ANOTHER DANGER FOR ME THE OPERATOR IS THE NAUSEOUS SMELL OF OIL BURNING GOING THROUGH MY HEATING SYSTEM IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HOPE THAT YOU SEE THIS COMPLAINT AND TAKE IT SERIOUS AND INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I TRULY FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD. I HAVE SINCE HAD THE PART REPLACED WITH AN UPGRADED PART THAT DODGE OFFERS. AND I HAD IT INSTALLED BY THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM DUE TO BEING MUCH CHEAPER. THANK YOU!
CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000 MILES. DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEED, CAR SUDDENLY POPPED 3 LIGHTS; TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, AND THE PARKING BRAKE INDICATOR. REPAIR SHOP HAS DIAGNOSED AS THE ABS MODULE NEEDING REPLACEMENT. THERE ARE NO OTHER SYMPTOMS BESIDES THE WARNING LIGHTS AND CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING. AT THIS TIME I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF ANY OF THESE SYSTEMS HAVE ACTUALLY FAILED SINCE THE ABS MODULE HAS SHUT OFF THESE SYSTEMS.
THE VEHICLE WHEN I PURCHASED IT 3 MONTHS AGO HAS PRETTY LOW MILEAGE AND $79,000 ON IT WELL I NOTICED THE WHOLE TIME I HEARD A CREAKING SOUNDING WHEN I WOULD TURN THE TIRES AND THEN WHEN I WENT TO GEORGIA BECAUSE I LIVE IN TENNESSEE FOR CHRISTMAS AND BY THE TIME I GOT BACK TO TENNESSEE I COULDN'T EVEN TURN MY WHEEL AND I GUESS THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT IN IT BUT IT'S A NEW CAR AND IT'S BEEN TAKEN REALLY GOOD CARE OF I'M JUST WONDERING WHY THE PUMP WENT OUT ON IT SO FAST WHEN I WAS DRIVING SO FAST I COULD WRECKED AND EVERYTHING
WIFE DROPPED ME OFF AT WORK AND LITERALLY THE SERVICE POWER STEERING SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. THEY VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING AND THIS HAPPENED OUT OF NOWHERE. THANKFULLY SHE WAS STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THE POWER STEERING QUIT
BETWEEN 30-60 MPH, AWD TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR KEPT DISENGAGING/ENGAGING WHILE DRIVING. SLIGHT JARRING OF CAR OCCURRED WHEN ACTION HAPPENED. IT WAS TAKEN TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN NOV 2019 AND A SOFTWARE UPGRADE WAS PERFORMED WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE. I HAD TO PAY ~$68 FOR THIS SERVICE. GOOGLE/WEB DISCUSSIONS SHOW THIS IS A BROAD ISSUE AMONG THE DODGE CHARGER AWD, AND SHOULD PROBABLY BE CONSIDERED A COMPANY-COVERED RECALL/REPAIR RATHER THAN A CHARGE BORNE BY CAR OWNER.
THE HARNESS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG BURNED UP AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.
POWER STEERING PUMP ALL OF A SUDDEN, JUST WENT OUT. LUCKILY I WAS PARKING MY CAR AT HOME.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY DEFECT CAUSES CAR TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. LIGHTING BOLT FLASHES THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN THE WARNING LIGHTS FLASH BOLT AND ENGINE THEN THE CARS SHUTSOFF. VERY DANGEROUS
TODAY MY CAR TURNED OFF ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT OF NO WHERE. I HAVE STATED TO THE DEALER FOR YEARS THAT IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR A CAR TO SAY BATTERY SAVER MODE AND LIGHTS, RADIO, DASH AND ALL ELECTRICAL DEVICES IN A VEHICLE TO TURN OF OR STUTTER OF AND ON. THEY SAID IT IS NORMAL AND THAT IT IS MY BATTERY. IF A CAR TURNS ON THE ALTERNATOR IS SUPPOSED TO TAKE ALL THE LOAD OFF OF THE BATTERY RUNNING IN THE ENGINE NOTHING ELSE. MY CAR HAS STUTTERED MULTIPLE TIME OFF AND IN WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN ALMOST TURNED OFF. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR DRIVING AROUND, BECAUSE CAR COULD TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND I LOSE ALL CONTROL OFF THE VEHICLE STEERING, BRAKES AND ACCELERATING. WHEN I THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF TODAY I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE CAR STARTED TO STUTTER AND THEN IT JUST TURNED OFF WHEN THE GREEN LIGHT TURNED ON. I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE A PICTURE TODAY AND I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND IT IS ILLEGAL TO DRIVE AND USE A PHONE. I HAVE MULTIPLE PICTURE FROM THE PAST BUT WAS ONLY ABLE TO UPLOAD ONE

2014 DODGE CHARGER HAS POWER STEERING FAILURE, NO ACCIDENTS TO CAUSE DAMAGE HAVE OCCURRED. POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT BUT WILL OCCASIONALLY FUNCTION FOR SEVERAL SECONDS CAUSING POTENTIAL CRASHED AT HIGH SPEEDS ON FREEWAY. THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE OVER SEVERAL MONTHS AND WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES TO HAVE IT.
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED THAT THE HOOD OF MY CAR SHAKING, SO I PULLED OVER TO CHECK WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE HOOD.AFTER CHECKING THERE WASN'T ANYTHING SEEMINGLY WRONG AND HOOD LOOKED OK TO ME, SO I PULLED OFF AND PRECEDED TO DRIVE AGAIN ON TO DRIVE A FEW FEET AND MY HOOD JUST FEW BACK HITTING THE WINDSHIELD AND BENDING THE HOOD IN A FEW PLACES. AS A RESULT MY HOOD WON'T CLOSE BE CAUSE OF THE HOOD AND THE LATCH IS BROKEN.
WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE THEIR IS A KNOCKING NOISE IN MY FRONT RIGHT WHEEL, ALMOST SOUNDS AS IF SOME BOLTS ARE LOOSE. ALSO WHEN PULLING IN TO BACK UP, WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL A CERTAIN WAY THEIR IS A FUNNY CLICKING SOUND IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND FUNNY SOUND IN THE BRAKE WHEN I AM BACKING MY CAR INTO MY DRIVE WAY. I BELIEVE THAT THIS MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH A RECALL THAT HASN'T BEEN LOOKED INTO.
PCM FAILURE WHICH IS CAUSING THE CAR TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. DIAGNOSTIC WAS A BAD. PCM LIGHTING BOLT WARNING SIGN AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

I HAVE ALREADY HAD IT FIXED BY MY CERTIFIED PREOWNED WARRANTY AND ONCE AGAIN IT HAS DONE IT. THIS TIME IT TOOK OFF MY WINDSHIELD WIPER LEVER, IT HAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED MY INTERIOR AND UNFORTUNATELY THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THAT WHICH IS NOT FAIR. REMEMBER THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN AND ROD IS VERY HEAVY AND DOES MUCH DAMAGE WHEN IT FALLS IN YOUR LAP WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE IN MOTION THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT DOWN SO THE ENGINE REVS UP UNTIL THE BRAKE IS PRESSED. THIS HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE IT STARTS SHIFTING GEARS ON IT'S OWN. THE VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN DOING THIS SINCE 2/16/19 AND HAS DONE IT ALMOST EVERY DAY SINCE.
FUEL PUMP ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR KEEPS BURNING THE FUEL PUMP PLASTIC AT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS AND CAUSES A FUEL LEAK INTO THE CAR CABIN, UNDER THE REAR SEAT.

NOONE WITHIN THE CHRYSLER ORGANIZATION WAS WILLING TO ASSIST ME WITH A RENTAL OR LOANER VEHICLE. I WAS CALLED BY AN AGENT WHO SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR MONDAY, FEB 18TH @ 3:30 KNOWING THAT THE AIR BAG WAS NOT IN STOCK. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET AND EXHAUSTED WITH THE 4 + HOURS I SPENT ON THE PHONE TODAY TO NOT RECEIVE ANY RESOLUTION. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE FROM CHRYSLER AGAIN AND REALLY NEED A SAFE RIDE FOR MYSELF, WIFE, 5 AND 6 YEAR OLDS, AND 2 WEEK OLD SON TO TRAVEL UNTIL THIS ISSUE CAUSED BY CHRYSLER IS RESOLVED.

WHEN FUELING VEHICLE, AT THE POINT THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TOPPED OFF, GAS STARTS LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE NEAR THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE. A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE FUMES CAN BE SMELLED INSIDE THE PASSENGER CABIN. OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY BEING FILLED.
MY DRIVER DOOR HANDLE DOES NOT WORK, CANNOT OPEN CAR DOOR FROM EXTERIOR. IT WILL UNLOCK CAR, BUT NOT OPEN CAR DOOR.
THE RIGHT REAR SUSPENSION TRAILING LINK THAT BOLTS TO THE SUB FRAME THE SUB FRAME MOUNTING BRACKET SHEARED OFF THE SUB FRAME. THIS CAR HAS WAS A RENTAL CAR BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. THE DATA RECORDED WAS RETRIEVED AND NOTHING SHOWS THIS WAS CAUSED BY ME. THE LEFT SIDE HAS VISIBLE WEAR AND STRESS IN THE FRAME, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR EVEN IF THIS CAR IS REPAIRED. THIS CAUSED A MINOR ACCIDENT MAKING ME SPIN WHEN IT SHEARED OFF. IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THE WELDING OF THIS PART.
THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE REVVING AND SLOWING ITSELF DOWN AROUND THE 30 MPH AREA. THERE IS A JERKING MOTION AROUND THIS SPEED AS WELL. IT IS ACTING LIKE IT WANTS TO SHIFT, BUT CAN'T. WHEN I GET UP PAST 28-31 MPH THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY, BUT I AM AFRAID THAT IT MIGHT STICK AS SOME POINT AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT! I HAVE HEARD IT IS A KNOWN TRANSMISSION PROBLEM FROM A MECHANIC FROM DODGE. I KNOW IT ASKS WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN, WELL, IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY I DRIVE IT!
WENT TO PULL OUT FROM MY WORKS PARKING LOT AND PUSHED GAS PEDAL TO SPEED UP AND THE GAS PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND STAYED THERE FOR ROUGHLY 4 TO 5 SECONDS AND THE CAR JUST KEEP SPEEDING UP. I THEN PUMPED THE GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES AND THERE WAS A CLICK AND THE PEDAL RETURNED TO IT'S NORMAL POSITION. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT'S HAPPENED IN 6 MONTHS
WHILE DRIVING, I CONDUCTED A NORMAL PASS ON A TWO LANE ROAD. WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATION PEDAL, THE CAR TOOK OFF AT A DRAMATIC PACE. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE WELL OVER 100 MPH. DRAGGING THE BRAKE KEPT THE CAR FROM CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE TO ITS FULL CAPACITY. SHIFTING IN NEUTRAL HAD NO EFFECT AS THE ENGINE MAINTAINED ITS FULL RPM. WHILE IN NEUTRAL, THE CAR'S COMPUTER WOULD NOT ALLOW THE ENGINE TO BE SHUT OFF DISPLAYING A MESSAGE THAT THE CAR HAD TO BE IN PARK BEFORE THAT WAS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN. PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, APPLIED FULL BRAKING, AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO A STANDSTILL AS THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN AT FULL RPM. SHIFTED TO PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I LET IT SIT FOR 10 MINUTES AND STARTED IT AGAIN. CAR PERFORMED NORMAL. DODGE HAS A KNOWN ISSUE/RECALL FOR THE SAME SITUATION WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL AND I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS PRESENT WHILE NOT USING CRUISE CONTROL AS WELL. LESS THAN A MONTH AGO, THE CAR WAS SERVICED AT THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER UNDER THE RECALL TO CORRECT THE CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE. *DSY
TAKATA RECALL IT'S A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT I CAME TO FIND OUT AFTER SEARCHING IT OWN GOOGLE THE CAR WELL RANDOMLY BECOME NON RESPONSIVE TO ACCELERATING THE RPMS WELL RISE BUT THE SPEED WON'T ITS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY CHANGE LANES OR A PULL OUT FROM A STOP SIGN IT'S HAS CAUSED ME TO GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY CAR JUST STOP GOING MIDWAY THROUGH A INTERSECTION
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE STEERING SEIZED AND THE CHECK ENGINE, BRAKE, ABS AND STEERING ASSIST WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY EMERGENCY BRAKE COMES ON BY ITSELF WITHOUT EVEN BEING PUSHED DOWN ON AND SLOWS MY CAR DOWN THEN MY SHIFTER SOUNDS LIKE ITS STICKING AND THEN MY DASHBOARD STARTS BLINKING.
RECENTLY MY BACK UP CAMERA STOPPED WORKING. (71,000MILES) IT WOULD WORK THEN IT WOULDN'T. IT HAS BEEN ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT A WEEK NOW BUT RECENTLY I WENT TO BACK UP LOOKING AT MY CAMERA WHICH I NEVER DEPEND ON TOTALLY EXCEPT FOR THE BLIND SPOTS. AS I WAS BACKING OUT I NOTICED ON THE CAMERA A PERSON SO I MADE SURE TO TURN A BIT IN THE OTHER DIRECTION BUT AS I LOOKED BEHIND ME I DID NOT SEE THIS PERSON TO THE LEFT BUT ME BUT THEY WERE TO THE RIGHT OF ME. THE CAMERA HAS SOME HOW REVERSED THE IMAGES. I WAS A BIT CONFUSED UNTIL I WAS IN MY OWN DRIVEWAY GETTING READY TO BACK OUT AND NOTICED MY HOUSE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE CAMERA. IF ALMOST RUNNING OVER A PEDESTRIAN IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE THEN I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS!!! THIS COULD BE AN ISSUE IF SOMEONE DOES NOT REALIZE IT HAS HAPPENED AND DOES NOT LOOK BEHIND THEM.

BEEN TAKING IT TO THE DEALER SHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT NEW. BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO HAVE EVERYTHING CHECK REGARDING "SHIMMY." $1,500.00 DOLLARS LATER TILL THIS DATE (10-24-17) DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM. TOOK VEHICLE TO A "PRIVATELY OWNED STATE CERTIFIED SHOP" AND TODAY (10-24-17)...THEY FOUND THE "SHIMMY" PROBLEM. THE WHOLE ENTIRE "DRIVESHAFT / SLIP JOINTS ETC. ARE LOOSE AND COMING APART.

'TAKATA RECALL' DRIVING MY VECHICLE ON CITY ROADS IS FINE, THE VECHICLE RUNS PERFECTLY BUT TAKING IT IN THE HIGHWAY IS ANOTHER PROBLEM. PICKING UP HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE DASHBOARD BEGINS TO SHAKE AS WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL. IT HAPPENS WHEN I REACH 80MPH AND IS A CONCERN TO ME.

I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH FCA SINCE 8/31/16, SO FOR 28 DAYS NOW, THAT I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT POWER STEERING. I FILED MY FIRST COMPLAINT ON, OR AROUND 9/12/16. I EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS STATED IN NHTSA PE14022 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPORXIMATELY 65MPH. EVERY WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF FLASHING, SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE, SERVICE POWER STEERING , AND TACH, AND SPEEDO WOULD DROP TO ZERO , AND I WOULD LOSE ENGINE POWER, AND POWER STEERING. I CAPTURED THE INCIDENT ON VIDEO, AND PROVIDED THE VIDEO TO NHTSA, I WILL AGAIN PROVIDE A LINK FOR THE VIDEO HERE : HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/E96HVQPEP10 . IN DEALING WITH FCA LLC, THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE ELECTRIC HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING PUMP THAT WAS FRIED FROM THIS INCIDENT OCCURING. FCA IS SAYING THAT IT WAS THE "2 YEAR OLD MOPAR BATTERY" THAT CAUSED THE INCIDENT, AND REFUSE TO REPLACE THE EHPS PUMP THAT WORKED PERFECTLY FINE BEFORE THIS OCCURED. I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR PER NHTSA RECALL NO. 14V-634 A GREAT DEAL OF TIME PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT OCCURING. FCA IS TRYING TO CIRCUMVENT HAVING TO REPLACE THE PUMP BY CHANGING THE ORIGIN OF THE MEANS TO THE BATTERY, INSTEAD OF THE ALTERNATOR. I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH HOW FCA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL OF THE PROOF GIVEN TO THEM. I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS, THERE HAD BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FILED WITH SIMILAR RESULTS AS MINE IN DEALING WITH FCA. IT'S TIME FOR NHTSA TO DO SOMETHING TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE WITH FCA. FCA OFFERED TO REPLACE THE $1400 EHPS PUMP IF I PAY A $500 CO-PAY, I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS OFFER BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF THE MATTER. THE TRUE ORIGIN OF ALL OF THE ISSUE'S I'M CURRENTLY HAVING, IS FROM THE ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR THAT WAS IN THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND A HALF INITIALLY, AND DURING THAT TIME IT WAS IMPROPERLY CHARGING THE BATTERY THAT POSSIBLY CAUSED THE BATTERY TO ULTIMATELY FAIL ON 8/31/16. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED FILES. FAILURE MILEAGE 81332
ON AUGUST 29TH 2016 I WAS RETURNING(DRIVING ON US20) HOME FROM SOME OFFICIAL BUSINESS, WHEN MY DASH STARTED FLASHING, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WOULD FLASH, THE SPEED DISPLAYED WOULD GO UP, AND DOWN , AND THE CAR STARTED CHANGING GEARS. THERE WAS A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM MY GEAR SHIFT, LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO SELECT GEAR. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT , AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE KEEP COMING UP AS WELL. I WOULD INTERMITTENLY LOSE POWER STEERING DURING THIS, AND POWER FROM THE ENGINE WOULD LAG ALSO. I HAVE A THREE MINUTE, AND THIRTY-FIVE SECOND VIDEO OF WHAT WAS OCCURING. I CONTACTED SOME MECHANIC FRIENDS THAT WORK ON INDIANA STATE POLICE CHARGERS, AND THEY THOUGHT IT COULD BE THE BATTERY SHORTING OUT. THE NEXT MORNING I REPLACED THE BATTERY, AND INSTALLED PROPERLY WITH POSITIVE POST FIRST. THIS SEEM TO RESOLVE THE DASH FLASHING SYMPTOMS, BUT I THEN HAD NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. I TOOK TO OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER IN LAGRANGE, IN THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS, AND DETERMINED THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING PUMP WAS NO GOOD. THE POWER STEERING PUMP WORKED PERFECTLY FINE WITH NO ISSUES AT ALL, EVER, BEFORE THESE ELECTRICAL ISSUES OCCURED. THIS VEHICLE IS USED TO TRANSPORT THE US CONGRESSMAN, WHEN HE IS IN THE DISTRICT ON OFFICIAL BUSINESS, AND WE NEED IT REPAIRED ASAP. IT IS MY OPINION, THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS DESTROYED BY THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES CONCERNING THE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. IT IS ALSO MY OPINION THAT FAC LLC SHOULD REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP AT NO COST PER THE CONSENT ORDER PERTAINING TO THIS RECALL. I AM TRYING TO GET THE VIDEO TO EMAIL, AT THIS POINT, THE VIDEO IS TO LONG TO EMAIL.

NOT HAPPY I LEFT AFTER PURCHASING THE BATTERY AND HERE WE ARE 1.5 WEEKS LATER WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I TRIED TO DRIVE OUT OF WORK YESTERDAY AND I LOST CONTROL TO MY STEERING AND IT LOCKED. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TRIED ONCE MORE THE SAME THING HAPPENED, I THEN TRY TO RESTART BUT IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DO SO. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND IT STARTED. NOT FEELING SAFE FOR MY LIFE I LEFT THE CAR AT WORK AND STILL DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT. FROM WHAT I AM READING I AM NOT THE ONLY 2014 DODGE CHARGER HAVING THIS ISSUE. I NEED THIS FIXED IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.
MY 2014 DODGE CHARGER IS BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT OF LHM DODGE IN TUCSON, AZ. BY 13,978 MY CAR SMELLED LIKE SULFUR WHILE IN MOTION. DRIVING SLUGGISHLY, AND THE "BATTERY SAVER MODE" LIGHT ON. BROUGHT INTO LARRY H MILLER FOR REPAIR. WAS TOLD THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED REPLACED AFTER 13,975 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AT 14,100 MILES THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING THE SAME SMELL, AND THE BATTERY SAFER MODE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN . RETURNED IT TO LHM WITH COMPLAINTS. THEY SAY "IT'S NORMAL" MANAGER TOLD ME "DODGE JUST DIDN'T MAKE THE ALTERNATOR BIG ENOUGH FOR THAT ENGINE, MANUFACTURER FLAW"AT 14,432 MILES, THE VEHICLE NOT BLOWING COLD AIR. BATTERY SAVER MODE LIGHT WAS STILL ON, SMELLED LIKE SULFUR AND CAR WAS DRIVING SLUGGISH. I OPENED CASE WITH CORPORATE. THEY "FIXED" IT, AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. ON JUNE 17, 2016, MY VEHICLE WAS DRIVING SLUGGISHLY, THE ENGINE LIGHT ON, CALLED DODGE IMMEDIATELY AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER. I CALLED JIM CLICK IMMEDIATELY TO GET MY VEHICLE IN. MY VEHICLE WAS 23,900 MILES. DODGE CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT GET ME IN UNTIL JULY 1ST AND THAT ITS "FINE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AS LONG AS THE LIGHT ISN'T FLASHING". BROUGHT IN FOR "REPAIR" ON JUNE 1ST. I DROVE A RENTAL CAR FROM FRIDAY JUNE 1ST-JUNE 8TH, THE "CLUSTER" IN THE DASH WAS NOT READING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS "ALL FIXED". WHEN THE VEHICLE PULLED UP I GOT IN AND BEGAN TO PULL AWAY AS MY DASHBOARD WENT BLACK. I TURNED AROUND. MY ADVISOR BROUGHT IT BACK AND EXPLAINED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE "RESET" BUT THAT HE'LL ORDER A NEW CLUSTER. I GET INTO MY VEHICLE THERE IS AN "ERROR" SIGN WHERE THE MILAGE IS SUPPOSED TO BE. I THAT I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I EXPRESSED HOW UPSET I WAS ABOUT THE SITUATION AND HE SAID TO ME "YOU'LL BE FINE TO DRIVE IT, IT WON'T SHUT OFF". I GET HOME STARTED IT, AND THE ENTIRE DASH SHUTS OFF. MY CAR IS NOW BEING TOWED AGAIN TO JIM CLICK DODGE.

CRASH #2 I BACKED INTO A PARKING SPACE PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WENT TO THE TRUNK TO GET SOME BOTTLED WATER IF I HAD JUMPED OUT OF THE WAY I WOULD HAVE BEEN PINNED AGAINST A BRICK WALL. CRASHED #3) THE CAR RAN INTO A FENCE AFTER I PUT IT IN PARK AND GOT OUT. CAUSING FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS WEIRD GEAR SHIFTER. BECAUSE THE STICK JUMS BACK TO THE CENTER YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT GEAR YOU'RE IN.
LOSS OF ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. WARNING LIGHTS INDICATED FOR BOTH. CAUSE WAS A BAD WHEEL SENSOR DRIVER SIDE REAR. 6,169 MILES.
WHEN DRIVING (MAINLY LOW SPEED) THERE IS A METAL TO METAL/POPPING TYPE NOISE COMING FROM LOWER AREA. SEEMS TO BE SOMEWHERE WITH ROTATION OF TIRES, OR SUSPENSION TRAVEL, OR TRANSMISSION.

HAVING A TRANSMISSION RELATED ISSUE. VEHICLE MAKES A JOLT FOWARD WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. SOMETIMES IT'S NOT SO BAD BUT YOU CAN TELL IT'S DOWNSHIFTING LATE OR HARD WHEN COMPLETING A STOP. THIS HAPPENS 90 PERCENT OF THE TIME WHEN MY VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP. I HAVE THE 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION IN THE SXT VERSION CHARGER V6. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND MANY CHARGER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO RESULTS ON WHAT'S THE CAUSE OR HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE. DODGE IS SUPPOSEDLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS SINCE CAME OUT WITH A PCM TRANSMISSION FLASH UPDATE. THE UPDATE HAS PROVEN TO BE INEFFECTIVE FOR EVERYONE INCLUDING MYSELF. THE PROBLEM AFFECTS 2011 -2014 8 SPEED CHRYSLER AND DODGE. I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS AND HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS A RECALL IS PLACED.
SPARE TIRE JACK RECALL - WHEN I TRIED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST 2 HOURS AND THE RECALL NOTICE SAYS IT SHOULD TAKE 30 MINUTES. I CANNOT TAKE THAT MUCH UNPAID LEAVE FROM WORK FOR A RECALL THAT SHOULD NOT TAKE THAT MUCH TIME.

WHILE DRIVING I-405N AT APPROX 63MPH, MY CEL & TC LAMP ILLUMINATED AND CAR STALLED OUT LEAVING ME WITH NO STEERING FUNCTIONS, THEN SUDDENLY IT TURNED BACK ON AND RED-LINED FOR ALMOST 20SECS STRAIGHT LEAVING ME AT WOT SPEEDING STRAIGHT TOWARDS THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE DASH FLASHED SOMETHING IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RIGHT BEFORE IT SHUTS OFF BUT TOO QUICKLY FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO READ IT, THE WHITE BOX THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE SELECTED GEAR TURNS ORANGE AND HIGHLIGHTS ALL GEARS, THEN TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER FALL TO ZERO. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I WAS ABLE TO RECORD THE THE DASH DISPLAY ON MY PHONE WHEN IT WAS OCCURRING BACK -TO-BACK. I PULLED FAULT CODES(U0101,U1110,U1120,U11BC,U0121,U0100,U212). I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP 2 WEEKS PREVIOUSLY, THEY JUST RESET MY CEL LAMP AND SAID BRING IT BACK IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE IT CAUSES SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE ECM AND TCM PROGRAMMING, OR THE MODULES THEMSELVES. INCLUDED IS SCREENSHOT FROM THE VIDEO I RECORDED AS IT STALLED ON THE FWY FOR THE 3RD TIME IN 10 MINUTESS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE HEATER DEFROSTER FAILED AND THE COOL DEFROSTER ACTIVATED WITHOUT BEING PROMPTED.

TORQUE CONVERTER MALFUNCTION: THE TORQUE CONVERTER IN THE DODGE AWD RT MODEL MALFUNCTIONS AND CREATES A GROANING SOUND WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ACCELERATING ON FLAT OR LOW TO STEEP ROAD INCLINES. IF UNCHECKED IT MAY LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION AND AWD SUBSYSTEM. SINCE THIS TORQUE COMPONENT IS NOT A REGULARLY STOCKED ITEM AT MOST DODGE DEALERSHIPS, IF THE COMPONENT FAILS THE WAIT TIME FOR A REPLACEMENT CAN BEEN UP TO A FEW WEEKS. MY DEALERSHIP BROWN DAUB DODGE, A 5 STAR DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN EASTON PA, SAID THERE WERE ONLY TWO COMPONENTS AVAILABLE IN THE ENTIRE USA!
WHILE DRIVING ON A TOWN ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MPH, THE WARNING LIGHTS FOR THE ABS AND ESC SYSTEMS LIT. I SUBSEQUENTLY DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO NO LONGER FUNCTIONED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER SINCE THE VEHICLE RECENTLY HAD A RECALL PERFORMED FOR ALTERNATOR REPLACEMENT, AND SYMPTOMS INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL - CHRYSLER P60 / NHTSA 14V-634 - INDICATE THAT MODES OF FAILURE MAY INCLUDE DISABLING ABS AND ESC. CHRYSLER STATED THAT "SOMETIMES THEY MAY NEED TO DO THE RECALL AGAIN". BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER. DIAGNOSED AS A SENSOR FAILURE. I HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS.SERVICE WRITER STATED THAT THIS FAILURE HAPPENS ON THESE CARS QUITE FREQUENTLY, AND EVEN "GUESSED" CORRECTLY WHAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE THE TECH WORKED ON IT. ESC AND ABS ARE BOTH SIGNIFICANT SAFETY SYSTEMS.
AT 5,500 MILES, WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC, I WOULD LOSE POWER TO MY PEDAL. MY PEDAL WOULD BE NON RESPONSIVE FOR UP TO 40 SECONDS WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. AFTER ABOUT 40 SECONDS, IT COULD COME ALIVE AND CATCH, BUT BY THEN, I AM IN DANGER BECAUSE THE CAR BEHIND ME THINKS I'VE ACCELERATED TO FLOW INTO TRAFFIC. DEALERSHIP SAW THE CODE WHERE THEY SAID IT WAS P0600 FOR OIL PRESSURE CONTROL CIRCUIT STUCK. I WAS ABLE TO TEST DRIVE WITH THE TECH WHO ATTACHED HIS LAPTOP TO THE SENSOR, AND SHOW HIM THE "STALL/SURGE". HE COULD SEE AND FEEL THE "STALL/SURGE" AS IT WAS HAPPENING BUT THE LAPTOP DID NOT REGISTER ANY ISSUES. THE TECH TESTED AND DIAGNOSED THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH WAS FAULTY. THE TECH REPLACED THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH, BUT HE SAID HE COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT ON HIS OWN. THEY CHANGED THE OIL FOR ME WHILE IT WAS IN FOR SERVICE. AGAIN ON 6-10-15 AT 12,443 MILES WHEN I WAS ACCELERATING INTO TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR "STALLED/SURGED" AND I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND. AS SOON AS IT HAPPENED, I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOOK AT IT FOR A FEW DAYS BECAUSE THEY WERE SO BUSY. 9-26-15. IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AT 17,000 MILES. IT STALLED/SURGED, IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN I AM MERGING ONTO A FREEWAY AND I AM THE MOST VULNERABLE. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY, I DO NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD IT SINCE THEN, THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT REPLACING THE ENGINE.
WE BOUGHT OUR CAR NEW, IT HAS BEEN AT THE DODGE DEALER FOR REPAIRS FOR THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER FOR 6 MONTHS TOTAL TIME IN SHOP. 1. THE BATTERY SAVER MODE COMES ON, AND THEN THE STEERING GETS HARD, THE ALT. HAS BEEN REPLACE, EXTRA WIRING ADDED TO ADD MORE GROUNDS. THIS AFFECTS THE WAY THE CAR DRIVES. WHEN THE BATTERY SAVER MODE IS ON THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING OR WORKS LESS. THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND RACK AND PINION HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERY DAY, IN TOWN OR ON THE FREEWAY. 2. THE RADIO KEEPS SHORTING OUT, IT'S BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. THIS HAPPENS DAILY, IT QUITS, BLEW OUT THE SPEAKERS, NAVAGTION STOPPED WORKING. 3. THE HEATER KEEPS GETTING STUCK ON EITHER 100% HOT OR 100% A/C ON COLD. SETTINGS WILL NOT CHANGE. CONTROLS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES, THE HEAT/COLD DOOR MOTOR WAS REPLACE TWICE. THE CAR HAS SPENT 185 DAYS IN SERVICE THIS YEAR. WHEN THEY GIVE THE CAR BACK IT ACTS UP IN ABOUT 5 MINS. THE CAR IS GOING BACK IN FOR THE RADIO AND BATTERY SAVER MODE AND STEERING ON MONDAY. I PICKED THE CAR UP FRIDAY AND IT FAILED LESS THAN A MILE FROM THE DEALERSHIP.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT FULL SPEED A MESSAGE APPEARED ON VEHICLE INSTRUMENT PANEL: BATTERY SAVER MODE. WAS CONCERNED AS I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE MESSAGE MEANT. WAS NOT MENTIONED IN THE OWNER MANUAL. LOOKED UP MESSAGE ON DODGE CHARGER FORUM, REALIZED THAT MY VEHICLE FALLS WITHIN YEARS FOR RECALL, WITH 160 AMP ALTERNATOR, BUT MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL NOR HAVE I BEEN CONTACTED. PERHAPS IT, ALONG WITH OTHERS, SHOULD BE TO WARN OWNERS OF POTENTIAL ISSUES. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE MESSAGE TO INDICATE THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE SERVICED, ALTHOUGH TO MY UNDERSTANDING IT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF POWER TO THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.
I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION WITH A 4 WAY STOP. A CAR PULLED UP TO MY LEFT SO I PULLED INTO THE INTERSECTION. I BEGAN PULLING INTO THE INTERSECTION TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND ANOTHER CAR CAME SPEEDING UP, PULLED AROUND THE CAR TO MY LEFT AND HIT MY CAR ON THE LEFT (DRIVER'S) SIDE.

I HAVE A 2014 DODGE CHARGER SXT WITH THE 3.6 V6 ENGINE AND THE NEW 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY; WHEN IT IS COLD, THE ENGINE WILL REV-UP BETWEEN SHIFTS, AND IT HAS SEVERE DOWNSHIFTS. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE,(AMBIENT AND VEHICLE), IS NORMAL THE UP-SHIFT PROBLEM GOES AWAY BUT THE DOWNSHIFTING PROBLEM STILL REMAINS,(AT TIMES)! I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK FOR REPAIRS 3 TIMES ,(FOR THIS PROBLEM), AND NOTHING HAS HELPED. THIS IS A VERY NICE VEHICLE AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO KEEP IT AND ENJOY IT , BUT THIS PROBLEM IS SURE RUINING AN OTHERWISE NICE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN VERY TROUBLESOME SINCE IT`S INTRODUCTION AND I AM WONDERING IF A RECALL IS PENDING?? IF NOT, IT SHOULD BE!!!!!!! THE LAST TIME I LET THE VEHICLE WITH MY DEALER , THEY SAID THAT THEY "COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM", EVEN THOUGH THE TECHNICIAN THAT ALWAYS WORKS ON MY VEHICLES, ADMITS THAT HE HEARD AND FELT THE PROBLEMS THAT I DESCRIBE. I MADE A COMPLAINT TO CHRYSLER AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME TO GET LOST ! THEY SAID THAT THE SERVICE MANAGER, (AT THE DEALERSHIP), SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE, THAT IS THE WAY THIS TRANSMISSION IS SUPPOSED TO OPERATE !!!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE !!!!! *TR

THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE WAS COLD AND IT HAD BEEN SITTING IN A PARKING LOT FOR FOUR DAYS. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC FROM A TOLL BOOTH. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND IT LOST SPEED BUT THE RPMS WERE INCREASING. THIS WENT ON FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE SECONDS AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC. I DROVE FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES AT 70 MPH (AFTER CALLING A SERVICING DEALER WHO TOLD ME I WOULD BE OKAY DRIVING THE CAR UNLESS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH) THEN STOPPED FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. AT THE NEXT TWO TRAFFIC LIGHTS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITH CARS BACKED UP BEHIND ME AND HONKING. THE MPH WERE AT 15 BUT THE RPMS WERE AT 2200. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT FIVE SECONDS AT EACH LIGHT THEN HAPPENED AGAIN AS I TRIED TO MERGE ONTO ANOTHER HIGHWAY THAT WAS UNDER CONSTRUCTION WITH CONCRETE BARRIERS ON BOTH SIDES AND HAD NO WHERE FOR ME TO WAIT FOR ACCELERATION. THE SERVICING DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T GET MY CAR IN FOR 4 DAYS. TWO DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. THE NEXT DAY THE SERVICING DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THEY DROVE IT FOR THREE DAYS AND THEN GAVE IT BACK TO ME UNDIAGNOSED. THE NEXT DAY THEY SAID BRING IT BACK IN BECAUSE DODGE ENGINEERS READ THE COMPUTER CODE AND TOLD THEM TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICING DEALER DISCOVERED METAL SHAVINGS IN THE PAN WHILE REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICING DEALER DID NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED METAL SHAVINGS IN THE PAN BUT ONE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES TOLD ME ON THE SIDE THEY SEE THE PROBLEM A LOT AND DRIVERS WILL CALL BECAUSE THEY HEAR A LOUD BOOM FROM THE CAR .I AM A WEEK OUT WITH THE NEW TRANSMISSION AND STILL NOTICE IT DOES NOT UPSHIFT SMOOTHLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. NEITHER THE SERVICING DEALER OR THE SELLING DEALER WILL HELP ME WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR
BATTERY SAVER MESSAGE WENT ON. LIGHTS FLICKERED.SINCE THERE IS AN UPCOMING RECALL ON ALTERNATOR WITH THE 2014 MODELS MANUFACTURED APRIL 22, 2010, TO JANUARY 2, 2014 AND MY CARS MANUFACTURED DATE IS MAY OF 2014 I HOPE YOU WILL INCLUDE ALL 2014 MODELS FOR THE RECALL. ALTHOUGH MY ALTERNATOR HAS YET TO COMPLETELY FAIL THE HISTORY OF THE CURRENT FAILURES BEGAN WITH BATTERY SAVER MESSAGES AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS RESOLVED BEFORE MY CAR LOSES POWER ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN IT AND POSSIBLE GETTING HURT. ALSO IF THE ALTERNATOR IN THIS CAR IS DIFFERENT THAN THE RECALL AND IS SHOWING PROBLEMS IN MY CAR DODGE MIGHT BE REPLACING THE CURRENT RECALL ALTERNATORS WITH THE ALTERNATOR IN MY CAR. *TR
THE LED STOP LIGHTS ON ALL THE NEW VEHICLES ARE VERY, VERY BRIGHTS. WHEN DIRECTLY BEHIND ON AFTER DARK AT A STOP THE LIGHTS ARE SO BRIGHT THAT THEY HURT MY EYES, FORCING ME TO CLOSE MY EYES UNTIL THEY RELEASE THE BRAKE. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY MAKE/MODEL WITH THIS ISSUE: ALL NEW CARS WITH LED BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
RADIO SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT TURN ON WHILE DRIVING TO DESTINATION. ONCE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION, I HAD THE CAR IN PARK, BUT THE ENGINE STILL TURNED ON. ALL OF THE GAUGES IN THE DASHBOARD STARTED GOING CRAZY AND THEN THE INSIDE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. THE CAR THEN SHUT OFF AND HAD ABSOLUTELY NO POWER WHATSOEVER. COULD NOT EVEN PUT MY CAR IN "NEUTRAL" TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE IT IS "PUSH TO START" AND HAS NO WAY OF GETTING POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION TO BE ABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WAITING FOR DODGE'S ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO GET THERE FROM 12:00 AM UNTIL 5:30 AM. THE TOW TRUCK EVENTUALLY CAME AND TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THAT MY ALTERNATOR WENT OUT AND COMPLETELY DRAINED THE BATTERY AS WELL. MY CAR WAS ONLY 3 THOUSAND MILES OUTSIDE OF THE 36K BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. WELL TIMED, DODGE!! WAY TO GET OUT OF PAYING FOR YOUR MISTAKES!! *TR
THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED AT A CAR DEALERSHIP WHEN A FIRE STARTED IN THE INTERIOR CAB. THE WHOLE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE IS SEVERLY DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE IS AT AMTX SERVICES INC. *TR
I WAS DRIVING A RENTED 2014 DODGE CHARGER ON A RURAL ROAD AND NEEDED TO TURN AROUND. I BEGAN A THREE POINT TURN AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION IN TO REVERSE THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT GO IN TO THE REVERSE POSITION. AS A RESULT I WAS STUCK CROSSWISE ACROSS THE ROAD, IN DANGER OF BEING STRUCK BROADSIDE BY ANY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY THERE WASN'T ANY TRAFFIC. I CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT TO SHIFT IN TO REVERSE AND AFTER SEVERAL MORE ATTEMPTS I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO. THIS WAS JUST ONE OF SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE WEEK I RENTED THIS VEHICLE THAT I WAS UNABLE TO PUT THE SHIFTER IN TO THE GEAR I NEEDED, WHETHER IT BE DRIVE OR REVERSE. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FLAW. THE SHIFTER ON THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY VAGUE AND FREQUENTLY OVERSHOOTS THE DESIRED POSITION. THE SHIFTER SEEMS TO BE ELECTRIC RATHER THAN MECHANICAL WHICH WOULD ACCOUNT FOR THE ABSENCE OF A MECHANICAL LOCKING OF THE SHIFTER. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED OF THE INCIDENT AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.
EVER SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE THERE HAS BEEN A CLUNKING NOISE AND THE WHOLE CAR MOVES WHENEVER PUTTING IN GEAR OR PUTTING IN PARK. AND THERE IS A LOUD CLUNK. I WENT TO PURCHASE GAS AT A SHELL STATION( I ONLY USE SHELL PREMIUM GAS) AND WENT INSIDE TO PAY FOR THE GAS. I CAME BACK HIT THE FUEL DOOR RELEASE BUTTON AND WENT TO THE PUMP. I WENT TO PLACE THE NOZZLE IN MY TANK AND THE METAL PLATE THAT COVERS THE FUEL TANK WOULDNT NOT MOVE. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND HE CAME TO HELP ME AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO GET THE PLATE OPEN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THAT HAD I TRIED TO PUT DIESEL IN MY TANK. I AM A FORMER TRUCK DRIVER AND KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIESEL AND REGULAR GAS. AND THAT WAS NOT THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I WENT TO A STATION THAT HAS A MECHANIC AND HE USED A TOOL AND WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK IT SO THAT WE COULD FILL UP THE TANK. I AM NOT CURRENTLY DRIVING THE CAR UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP CAN GET IT IN TO BE REPAIRED BECAUSE IF I DID RUN OUT OF GAS THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE. SO I AM STUCK WITHOUT A VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AND ALL THE DEALERSHIPS IN THE HOUSTON AREA HAVE A 4 -5 DAY WAIT TIME FOR THEM TO EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR. *TR
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, MY TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP/SKIP AND STARTED TO SHIFT VERY ROUGHLY FROM THAT POINT. AFTER A FEW VISITS TO MY DEALER AND AFTER THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR A WEEK, IT WAS THEN DETERMINED THAT THE VALVE BODY INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACED, AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT GIVE RENTAL CARS OUT DUE TO THE VEHICLE STILL BEING DRIVABLE. (WTF?) THE PART NEEDED TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION IS ON BACKORDER AND CHRYSLER CURRENTLY DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE IT IN BECAUSE IT HAS TO COME FROM A VENDOR, SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A $40000 PAPER WEIGHT IN MY DRIVEWAY UNTIL CHRYSLER GETS OFF THEIR SORRY BUTTS TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. DUE TO THIS PART BEING ON BACKORDER, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON PROBLEM THAT I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE A RECALL. *TR
ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON CAR SPUTTERED. *TR
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CALLED THE DEALER AND HE SAID BRING IT IN AND WE DID. THEY RAN ALL KINDS OF TEST ON THE ENGINE AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE CAM SHAFT WAS BAD. THE DEALER WAS IN CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS ,THERE DECISION WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE. *TR
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW DODGE CHARGER WHICH IS EQUIPPED WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ACCESSORY. THE OPERATION OF THIS CONTROL IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS FOLLOWS: FOR EXAMPLE, I SET THE SPEED FOR 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH CRUISES THE AUTOMOBILE AT THIS SPEED. I THEN ARRIVE AT A 65 MPH LIMIT STRETCH OF ROAD AND SO I ACCELERATE BY PRESSING THE RES/+CONTROL TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE TO 65 MPH. WITH ALL PREVIOUS CRUISE CONTROLS, WHEN I STOP PRESSING THIS CONTROL AT 65 MPH, THE SPEED STABILIZES. WITH THIS ACC, IT CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE LIKE A ROCKET UNTIL I CANCEL, TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL OR HIT THE BRAKES. THE REVERSE ALSO APPLIES IF I WISH TO SLOW DOWN, REMOVING THE PRESSURE ON THE SET/-DOES NOTHING AND THE VEHICLE STILL CONTINUES TO SLOW DOWN. IT IS POSSIBLE TO SWITCH FROM THE ACC TO NORMAL CRUISE CONTROL, BUT THIS PROBLEM IS STILL APPARENT. I AM NOW ALMOST FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM AND CAN ACT ACCORDINGLY, BUT MY WIFE DRIVES THE VEHICLE OCCASIONAL AND SHE HAS PROBLEMS BECAUSE HER OWN VEHICLE DOES NOT OPERATE IN A SIMILAR MANNER TO THIS CRUISE CONTROL. I AM SURE THAT OTHER OCCASIONAL DRIVERS FIND THIS PROBLEMATIC, AND IT APPEARS TO BE AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS, AND THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER. INITIALLY, CHRYSLER ASKED FOR THE CONTROL HARDWARE BE SHIPPED TO THEM FOR ANALYSIS. THIS WAS DONE BY THE DEALER BUT CHRYSLER INFORMED US THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. WITH MY LATEST VISIT I WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO OPERATE IN THIS FASHION, BUT THE HANDBOOK DOES NOT MENTION ANY OF THESE CONTROL ISSUES. *TR
ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND DEALER STATED THAT IT'S AN O2 SENSOR MALFUNCTION. DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS. THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY REPLACED ALL O2 SENSORS. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AFTER 1 WEEK. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE SOFTWARE HAD TO BE UPGRADED. AFTER 3 DAYS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS HAS TO BE CHANGE. SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO ORDER PARTS AND AS SOON AS IT ARRIVES. HE WILL CONTACT US. AFTER 4 DAYS, WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE SERVICE PERSON THAT TOOK CARE OF US FROM DAY 1 HAD BEEN TERMINATED. SPOKE TO A NEW SERVICE PERSON AND HE STATED THAT HE 'S NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. WE INSISTED THAT THE CAR BE DIAGNOSE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND GAVE US AN APPOINTMENT ON 7/19/14. IN THE MEAN TIME, THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN TOO FAR. PERFORMANCE OF THE CAR IS VERY ERRATIC AND WOULD FEEL THAT IT WOULD SHUT OFF. ALTHOUGH, SERVICE PERSON STATED THAT IS OK TO BE DRIVEN. *TR
THERE IS HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION BETWEEN MILE MARKER 314-320 INTERSTATE 65 NORTH BOUND. I WAS APPROX DRIVING IN THE LEFT HAND LANE AT 4:15PM ON WEDNESDAY JUNE 11 2014. I WAS GOING APPROACHING THE OVERPASS AND THERE WAS NO TRANSITION ASPHALT ON REMOVED THE REMOVED EXISTING ROAD AND THE 3 INCH STEP UP TO THE OVERPASS BRIDGE. NO VISIBLE SIGNS FOR WARNINGS. I HIT THE CURB AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICE A VIBRATION ON MY LEFT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. APPROACH 100 YDS FROM THE OVERPASS,THERE WERE 2 OTHER CARS (2007 MERCEDES BENZ E300 AND OLDER MODEL CHEVY PICKUP) CHANGING FLAT TIRES, DUE TO THIS UNLEVELED TRANSITION. MAKING IT HOME TO HUNTSVILLE I HAD A 1 INCH V SHAPE DINT IN MY RIM BUSTED TIRE AND ALIGNMENT OFF. I CALLED AND ORDERED A NEW RIM, HOWEVER THEY SENT ME A EMAIL STATING THE RIMS ARE DISCONTINUED. SO LEAVING ME TO HAVE TO ORDER NEW RIMS AND TIRES FOR MY CAR. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS MATTER TO BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE PICTURES AND RECEIPTS OF EVERYTHING., *TR
MY VEHICLE IS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER RT MAX AWD WITH A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM...DURING 3-4 UPSHIFT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS PRODUCED WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30-40MPH. TAKEN AND SERVICED AT MARINO CJD IN CHICAGO ON 6/2/14. VALVEBODY ASSEMBLY REPLACED. ON 6/3/14 DURING 3-4 UPSHIFT BETWEEN 35-45MPH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PRODUCED AGAIN AND ENGINE POWER LOST FOR 6 SECONDS AND THEN REGAINED. TAKEN FOR SERVICE AGAIN TO MARINO CJD. TECHNICIAN RELATED SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. CHRYSLER MAIN OFFICE INSTRUCTED DEALERSHIP NOT TO REPLACE THE VALVEBODY ASSEMBLY AGAIN AS THE PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. CHRYSLER MAIN OFFICE AWARE OF THE EXISTING PROBLEM IN SIMILAR VEHICLES AS WELL AND STATED NO SOLUTION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. TECHNICIAN AT DEALERSHIP RELATED VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED BY CHRYSLER. CHRYSLER TOLD THE DEALERSHIP TO CLEAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE AND GIVE ME BACK THE VEHICLE KNOWING FULL WELL THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN THE CONDITION ITS IN. VEHICLE STILL AT MARINO DEALERSHIP SITTING IN THE LOT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM AS CHRYSLER DOESN'T CARE THAT I AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE THAT I PURCHASED 2 MONTHS AGO. *TR
WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY (IN THE LANE NEXT TO THE CARPOOL LANE) THE CAR IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE EXTREME LEFT CAUSING ME TO CRASH INTO THE CENTER DIVIDER. DURING THIS TIME, I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE TIRE WAS PULLED BACK NEXT TO THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR, BUT STILL UPRIGHT AND HEADED FORWARD. YOU COULD SEE WHERE THE TIRE HAD BEEN SPINNING AGAINST THE BODY OF THE CAR. (THESE ARE KNOWN SYMPTOMS OF A FAILED BALL JOINT) UNFORTUNATELY, THE COMPLETE TIRE ASSEMBLY WAS RIPPED OFF AS IT WAS LOADED ONTO THE TOW TRUCK. CHRYSLER HAS SINCE RULED THAT THE ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY MY "MISUSE/ABUSE" OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, IT WAS ONLY 4 MONTHS OLD AND VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. A TOTAL OF $13,000 OF DAMAGE WAS DONE TO CAR, OF WHICH THEY HAVE PLACED THE BLAME SOLELY ON ME; BASED OFF OF PHOTOS THAT I TOOK AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I WAITED THREE WEEKS FOR THEM TO SEND AN INVESTIGATOR OUT TO LOOK AT MY CAR... HE NEVER SHOWED UP. THE REPAIR WORK WAS STARTED ON MY VEHICLE WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION. (COVER UP??) THE BODY SHOP (WHICH IS AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE I INITIALLY PURCHASED THE CAR) HAS SINCE ADVISED ME TO LET THEM FINISH THE REPAIR WORK, AND ATTEMPT TO TRADE THE CAR IN. I HAVE EXPRESSED TO THEM AND THE CHRYSLER GROUP THAT I WOULD NOT FEEL SAFE IN THAT CAR IF IT WAS FIXED. I ALSO FIND IT UNFAIR THAT MY INSURANCE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE AND FAULTY PART. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THAT ACCIDENT, I HOPE THAT OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WILL COME FORTH SO THAT LIVES MAY BE SAVED IN THE FUTURE AND INJURIES PREVENTED. *TR
THE NEW LINE OF DODGE CARS (CHALLENGER, DART, CHARGER) HAVE A LED RING OF LIGHTS AS THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS ON THE CARS. THEY ARE WAY TOO BRIGHT FOR TAIL LIGHTS (NOTICE I DIDN'T SAY BRAKE LIGHTS). THEY NEED TO BE CHANGED OUT WITH SOFTER/DIMMER LIGHTS. IT'S LIKE FOLLOWING SOMEONE WITH HIGH-BEAM TAIL LIGHTS. I HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE DODGE STOP DOING THIS, AND PREVENT OTHER AUTO MAKERS FROM INSTALLING BRIGHT LED LIGHTS ON THE REAR OF CARS. *TR
