The car randomly dies. I will come to a stop sign or stop light and it will shut off without warning. Usually I put the car in park and it starts back up without issues. Last time it happened when I started it back up it was stuck in 3rd gear. I've had it towed to Landmark dodge before and they said cam shaft sensor so they replaced it. Then it happened again and they agreed it was the battery. Replaced the battery. Does it again (this last time when it wouldn't come out of 3rd gear. Check engine light now on and no traction control) tow to Landmark they keep it for 3 days and they said it was acting normal and they see nothing wrong. Waiting for it to happen AGAIN. Every time Landmark tells me my car is fine.

Chrysler/|Dodge 300's/Charger have a known issue with door panel warping because of material or design defect. A judged rule 08/26/21 that there is an expressed warranty and that they should be repaired outside of the manufacture's warranty, which is when the defect shows up. I have tried both the dealership and customer care Auburn Hills, Michigan to no avail. I am stuck with making the very costly repair myself on a vehicle that I can't sell for what should be its value without the defect showing. I am a disable veteran and a senior so neither of those prospect are appealing. What can I do to get the dealer to fix the defect in light of the judge's ruling or other consumer protection laws? I need to get a replacement vehicle and can't get a reasonable return on this investment with the defect. Please help me.

I PURCHASED 2016 DODGE CHARGER ONE MONTH AGO FROM CALIFORNIA AUTO DIRECT IN MONTCLAIR. WHILE SIGNING THE PAPERWORK, WE QUESTIONED A $1,000 DEALER CHARGE WHICH THEY EXPLAINED WAS FOR A THOROUGH INSPECTION BEFORE PUTTING THEIR CAR ON THE LOT TO SELL (ALL LIES).

THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I CONTACTED DODGE.COM ONLINE CHAT AND THEY TOLD ME TO LET THE DEALER TRY AND WORK ON IT AND USE THEIR RESOURCES. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING.

THERE IS A POPPING OR CRACKING STRUCTURAL DEFECT SOUND THAT IS COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OR PILLAR BETWEEN FRONT AND REAR DOOR. THIS IS WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY NOT REALLY ON BUMPS BUT WHEN YOU ARE ON JUST A REGULAR ROAD. MORE WHEN THE ROAD IS UNEVEN OR WHEN THE BODY HAS SOME TWIST FROM UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THE FIRST RIDE WAS WITH WITH CHRISTIAN THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT LUMS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND HEARD THE SOUND. HE MADE THE FIRST APPOINTMENT TO LOOK AT IT. 7/8/19 VEHICLE STILL UNDER FULL WARRANTY.

INSIDE DOOR PANELING LIFTING OFF MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO LOCK/ UNLOCK. BEING TOLD THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE CHARGERS. VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE
I HAVE BEEN SMELLING A STRONG GAS ODOR WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. TODAY WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY I NOTICED A PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER THE CAR TOO. THE PUDDLE WAS UNDER THE LEFT REAR SEAT. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS SEEMS TO BE THE FUEL PUMP UNDER THE REAR SEAT (WHERE MY 6 AND 7 YEAR OLD KIDS SIT). I PULLED UP THE REAR SEAT AND FOUND THE PUMP IS LEAKING THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AND LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS IS POOLED ON TOP OF THE PUMP!! I USED DOZENS OF PAPER TOWELS TO SOAK IT UP AND IT JUST KEPT COMING OUT. THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR IS ALSO BROWN/BURNED NEAR A COUPLE OF THE PROBES INDICATING THE GAS IS CAUSING A SHORT WITHIN THE PLUG!! I UNPLUGGED THE CONNECTOR AND FOUND THAT THE GAS IS ACTUALLY SPEWING OUT FROM INSIDE THE CONNECTOR ON THE PUMP, WHERE THE PRONGS ARE. RESEARCHING ONLINE I SEE MULTIPLE OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS THAT THE PLASTIC TOP OF THE PUMP CRACKS, AND THERE IS EVEN A WEBSITE THAT SELLS A METAL COVER TO HELP PROTECT THE FUEL PUMP COVER! I SEE MULTIPLE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES AND YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. THE MORE RESEARCH I'M DOING ONLINE THE MORE REPORTS I AM FINDING REGARDING FIRES OCCURRING IN MINOR COLLISIONS THAT SHOULD NOT END THAT WAY. INCLUDING A REPORT OF 4 PASSENGERS BURNED TO DEATH, AND SOME VEHICLES THAT COMBUSTED AFTER BEING PARKED. THIS IS BARELY A 4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE AND NO WAY SHOULD A FUEL PUMP HOUSING BE BRITTLE AND CRACKED LIKE THIS ALREADY. PHOTOS ARE ATTACHED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSIDE PANEL OF THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WAS PEELING AND EXPOSING THE INTERIOR OF THE DOOR. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT IF MOISTURE ENTERED THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR, THE ABILITY TO CLOSE, LOCK, AND OPERATE THE DOOR MAY BE COMPROMISED. SPORT DURST AUTOMOTIVE (4511 DURHAM-CHAPEL HILL BLVD, DURHAM, NC 27707, (877) 262-3223) INFORMED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO SEE IF IT COULD BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY. THE DEALER CONCLUDED THAT THEY COULD NOT COVER THE VEHICLE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND AGREED WITH THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.
DOOR PANELS ARE PEELING UP WHERE THE TOP PART OF THE DOOR PANEL AND THE WINDOW MEET. I ALREADY HAD PANELS REPLACED BY DEALER WHEN THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPLACEMENT PANELS ARE STARTING TO FAIL AS WELL. IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AS DOCUMENTED BY CAR FORUMS. SEE THE FOLLOWING: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/CHARGER/2016/ACCESSORIES-INTERIOR/DOOR_PANELS_ARE_WARPING.SHTML
MY HEAD LIGHT WONT TURN ON DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG
THE VEHICLE IS INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. THE CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD WITH 34K MILES. THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE 2011-2015 DODGE CHARGERS FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND THE DEALERSHIP (STEALERSHIP) IS TELLING ME THAT THEY THE REPAIR IS NOT COVERED.
MY POWER STEERING WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. IT MAKES IT VERY EASY TO LOSE CONTROL. I HAVE TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF MY CAR, WAIT 10-30 SECONDS, TURN ON MY CAR, AND HOPE IT DOESN'T DO IT AGAIN.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A FEATURE ON THE VEHICLE THAT ALLOWED HIM TO POSITION THE DRIVER'S CHAIR TO CERTAIN SETTINGS FROM DRIVER ONE TO DRIVER TWO. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE VEHICLE AND ENGAGE THIS FEATURE, HIS DAUGHTER PLACED HER HEAD IN BETWEEN THE HEAD REST AND THE REAR WINDOW. ONCE THE CONTACT OPENED THE DOOR, THE SEAT BEGAN TO AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST AND THE SPACE BETWEEN THE VEHICLE AND THE HEAD REST BEGAN TO NARROW. AS THE SEAT BEGAN TO ADJUST, THE SEAT BEGAN TO CHOKE HER NECK. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND HIT THE MEMORY SEAT BUTTON TO CEASE THE SEAT FROM ADJUSTING. THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED AND DID NOT NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE FAILURE HAD NOT OCCURRED SINCE THIS INCIDENT. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.
I WENT TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP ABOUT MY 2016 CHARGER HAVING IT'S WINDSHIELD AT 3 YEARS OLD DELAMINATING ALL AROUND IT. I THEN CONTACTED CUNSUMER COMPLAINTS THROUGH DODGE W6 SAID I OWN THIS 100 PERCENT. WHO HAS A WINDSHIELD DO THIS AT 3 YEARS OLD? DEFECT? I SAY YES! I HAVE OWNED 3 AND THIS IS THE ONLY ONE TO DO IT AND I BOUGHT IT NEW. PLEASE CHECK FOR FURTHER ISSUES. I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE.
FUEL SMELL IN CAR AND DYING AFTER FILL UP FUEL LEAKING FROM RIGHT REAR WHEEL WELL ON POLICE CHARGER FOR TOWN OF ROLAND
WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT POPPING ON AND OFF. MY VEHICLE STARTED TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER WHENEVER I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. IT DOES DRIVE BUT IT MAKES A VERY LOUD, UNSETTLING NOISE WHEN DRIVING. IT SOUNDS VERY LOUD EVEN WHEN I AM SITTING IN PARK. THE VEHICLE IS NORMALLY SILENT WHEN SITTING IN PARK AND DRIVING. I AM SMELLING SOMETHING VERY UNUSUAL AS WELL WHEN DRIVING. MY CAR WAS SENT TO FRISCO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM IN FRISCO, TX A FEW DAYS AFTER THIS HAPPENED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE RECEIVING A CODE P0430 WHICH MEANT THERE ARE ISSUES WITH MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I WAS TOLD THAT OVER 800,000 VEHICLES IN THE DODGE MAKE HAD BEEN RECALLED THIS YEAR DUE TO THIS SAME THING. I WAS TOLD MY CAR COULDN'T BE REPAIRED AT THE MOMENT AS THEY WERE UNSURE AS TO WHAT ACTUALLY NEEDED TO BE FIXED. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND I AM AFRAID THAT MY CAR IS GOING TO QUIT ON ME ANY DAY. I AM BEING TOLD THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON DODGE VEHICLES FOR THIS BUT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE WHEN IT'S THE SAME THING? IN APRIL AND JULY OF THIS YEAR WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE EXCESSIVELY. I PULLED OVER TO SEE IF IT WOULD STOP AND IT DIDN'T SO I SLOWLY MADE MY WAY OVER TO FREEDOM CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM BY ED MORSE IN DUNCANVILLE, TX WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT MY IGNITION COILS ARE FAILING AND EVENTUALLY ALL OF THEM WILL FAIL AS THIS IS COMMON IS DODGE VEHICLES. IF THIS IS A KNOWN COMMON PROBLEM, WHY ARE THESE VEHICLES STILL BEING SOLD? WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN FIXED? I HAVE SPENT OVER $800 IN REPAIRS ON THIS CAR AND IT'S ONLY A 2016. I DID NOT EXPECT TO HAVE PROBLEMS THIS SOON ON SUCH A NEW CAR.
MY CAR WAS PARKED ON A HIT AND RUN ON AUGUST OF 2018. MY CAR WAS PARKED ON A FLOOD MARCH 2019, MY CAR HAS REPAIRS COVERED BY THE INSURANCE OF $19,000 AND IT'S STILL IN THE SHOP. I HONESTLY THINK THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE.
TAKATA RECALL. THE INTERIOR OF MY FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS ARE COMING APART FROM THE BODY OF THE DOOR. SMART DODGE IN PINE BLUFF SAID THEY HAVE SEEN IT ON A FEW OTHER DODGE CHARGERS AS WELL. IT IS A 2016 AND I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATED THE ONLY WAY IT CAN BE FIXED IS TO REPLACE THE INSIDE DOOR PANELS. IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER CHARGERS, SHOULD THERE NOT BE A RECALL ON THEM? THE PICTURE ATTACHED IS OF THE DRIVER SIDE. THE PASSENGER SIDE IS WORSE.
I HAD MY CRUISE SET TO 57, ALL WAS FINE UNTIL I STARTED DOWN A SMALL HILL, MY CAR SPED UP TO 75, I COULD NOT GET CRUISE TO TURN OFF WITH THE BUTTONS OR BREAK,, I PANICKED , AND SLAMMED MY BRAKES, AND IT FINALLY STOPED.
LAST YEAR I HAD THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL WARP, SEPARATING UP NEXT TO THE WINDOW. IT WAS UNDER REGULAR WARRANTY SO THE DEALER TOOK CARE OF IT. YESTERDAY 8/15/19 THE PASSENGER DOOR DID THE SAME THING AND SEPARATED AT THE WINDOW. DOING RESEARCH ON THIS, I HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE WITH DODGE CHARGERS, CHRYSLER 300, THAT ARE HAVING THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE. I AM NOW AT 40500 MILES AND MOST LIKELY DODGE WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF THIS EVEN UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH MEANS A $1000 REPAIR. WITH AS MANY PEOPLE I HAVE SEEN WHILE RESEARCHING, THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP DEFECT WHICH COULD EFFECT SAFETY, ESPECIALLY IF THE WARPING OCCURS AROUND THE DOOR LOCK AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO ESCAPE DURING AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.
TAKATA RECALL MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR WON'T OPEN THE DOOR. IT UNLOCKS AND LOCK BUT I CAN'T USE THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. I HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE FROM THE INSIDE EN THE DOOR.
FRONT DOOR PANELS WARPING
MY WIFE BOUGHT ME A 2016 DODGE HELLCAT LABOR DAY WEEKEND SALE, THIS WAS A PRESENT 9/1/2018 I BOUGHT THE LINCOLN 9/2/2018 SHE BOUGHT ME THE HELLCAT. WHEN MY WIFE WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY NEVER TOOK MY WIFE OUT TO TEST DRIVE THE CAR OR GAVE HER THE CAR FAX REPORT OR POINTED OUT ANY DEFECTS. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD MY WIFE THAT WE WERE THE SECOND OWNERS. I HAD TO BUY A CARFAX REPORT TO FIND OUT AND ARGUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP THAT I WAS THE 3RD OWNER. MY WIFE BOUGHT THE HELLCAT 9/2/2018 AND I HAD IT BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP 9/14/2018 FOR MULTIPLE ISSUES 1. RATTLING IN THE FRONT EVERY TIME DRIVE OVER A BUMP 2. THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL TO THE RIGHT. 3. A PIECE OF PAINT ON THE BACK BUMPER WHERE THE TRUNK MET THE BUMPER HAD DAMAGE. 4. TIRES WHERE BALLED ON THE INSIDE TIRE AND LESS THAN 1/32 ON THE OUTSIDE TIRE. ALL THESE ISSUES WERE A FIGHT AND SHOULD'VE NEVER BEEN QUESTIONED, THE DEALERSHIP KNEW ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND I STILL HAD TO FIGHT, I ENDED UP PAYING FOR 2 TIRES THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR FOR 49 DAYS AT THE CROWN MOTORS OF REDDING. THE ONLY ISSUES RESOLVED WAS THE TIRES AND PAINT CHIP. THEN 11/12/18 TO 12/3/2018 THE CAR WAS BACK IN THE SHOP A SECOND TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AT THE DODGE ROSEVILLE AUTO MALL TO FIX THE RATTLING PROBLEMS IN THE FRONT. IN BETWEEN THE DATES FROM 11/12 ' 12/3 THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME UP AND SAID MY VEHICLE WAS READY. MYSELF AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TEST DROVE IT AND DISCOVERED THAT THE NOISE WAS STILL NOT FIXED. 12/3/2018 WE DROVE IT AGAIN AND THE NOISE WAS FINALLY FIXED BUT THE PULLING TO THE RIGHT STILL APPEARED TO STILL BE HAPPENING. I WAS TOLD THAT'S COMMON AFTER A WHEEL ALIGNMENT I WANTED TO DISAGREE, BUT I HAD NO MORE FIGHT LEFT IN ME ESPECIALLY AFTER FINDING OUT ABOUT MY WIFE'S MEDICAL PROBLEMS. I'M JUST DISGUSTED WITH THE WHOLE SITUATION ESPECIALLY WITH THE OWNER OF CROWN MOTORS AND I HAD A CASE WITH THE BBB THAT I WON.
PASSENGER DOOR INTERIOR TRIM IS WRAPPING AND PEELING AS WELL AS FLOOR TRIM OF THE DRIVERS SIDE NEXT TO THE AUTO SHIFT . ALWAYS MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE AND KEPT IT CLEAN AND SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS AND I GOT TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET TO GET IT REPAIRED .MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER IT .. THIS SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY FOR SURE AS THERE SHOULD NO REASON THIS SHOULD BE WARPING LIKE THIS.
THE DOOR PANELS ARE COMING OFF. IT LOOKS UGLY. THE INTEGRITY OF THE PANELS IS LIFTING APART FROM SIDE OF THE DOORS. CAR GETS USED THIS IS OCCURRING BECAUSE OF THE HEAT.
MY DOOR PANELS ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE ARE SWOLLEN CAUSING THE PANELS TO RISE OVER THE DOOR LOCK MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL THE DOOR LOCK UP TO UNLOCK THE CAR IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
I HAVE A 2016 DODGE CHARGER SXT. THE CARS DOOR PANELS ON ALL DOORS HAVE BEGAN TO PEEL BACK. THIS IS CAUSING THE WINDOW FRAMING TO BE EXPOSED AND CAUSING THE WINDOW TO NOT BE PROTECTED. THIS HAS BECOME A NATIONAL PROBLEM WITH THESE DODGE CHARGERS. THERE IS NO WARRANTY OUT THAT CAN COVER THESE ISSUES. THESE ARE NEWER MODEL CARS THAT HAVE DEFECTS THAT SHOULD BE FIXED. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE PUT IN PLACE SO THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUFFERING FROM THIS ISSUE CAN GET IT REPLACED WITH NO COST OR AT A VERY LOW COST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
AS REPORTED ON AT LEAST 7 OTHER CARS, THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP HEATED UP SO MUCH A HOLE WAS MELTED IN THE PLASTIC ALLOWING FUEL TO ESCAPE THE TANK AND SIT IN A PUDDLE UNDER THE BACK SEAT. THE ODOR OF GAS WAS TOO STRONG TO REMAIN IN THE CAR. POLICE PATROL UNIT, NATCHEZ POLICE, #260. THIS VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY THE CITY BARN 3/1 AND NO PROBLEM WAS DETECTED. THE PROBLEM BECAME NOTICED OVER THE WEEKEND. THE ATTACHED PICTURE SHOWS THE HEAT SCORCHING WITHIN THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND THE INVASIVE HOLE AROUND THE RIGHT MOST PIN.
THE FRONT ARM CONTROLS GO OUT QUICKLY. WENT TO A WELL KNOWN MECHANIC SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THIS IS COMMON AND FREQUENT IN CHARGERS AND MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BLOWN. EVERY OTHER CHARGER I SEE, 2016 AND ABOVE HAVEVAT LEAST ONE HEADLIGHT OUT OR BOTH. THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE IS TOO FREQUENT FOR THIS TO BE JUST WEAR AND TEAR ON SUCH A RECENT VEHICLE. THE SUSPENSION WEARS OUT TOO QUICKLY AND IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE REPAIRED. I OWNED A CAR FOR MORE THAN 5 YEARS PREVIOUSLY AND THE SUSPENSION DID NOT SHOW SIGNS OF WEAR UNTIL AT LEAST THAT 4TH OR MAYBE 5TH YEAR. THESE 2 ISSUES I TRULY FEEL ARE A DEFECT WITHIN THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE.
I BOUGHT THE CAR 2 1/2 YEARS AGO. MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS WERE FINE AND WEREN'T WARPED. A 1,000 MILES AFTER MY DOOR PANELS AND MY CENTER CONSEL UNDER DASH IS WARPED ALSO. DODGE DEALERSHIP WON'T FIX THE ISSUE AS I'M OUT OF MY BASIC WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I CALLED DODGE HEADQUARTERS AND THEY WON'T FIX THE ISSUE EITHER WITHOUT PAYING A $1000 OR SO PER DOOR PANEL. I'M VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS. APPARENTLY FROM READING ONLINE IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE FOR CHARGERS BETWEEN 2014-2016 I THINK. PER DEALERSHIP THEY SAID AT THE BEGINNING OF 2019 DODGE IS COMING OUT WITH VERSION 2 DOOR PANELS BUT WILL NEED TO BY THEM
BOTH DOOR PANELS ARE COMING OFF STILL HAVE WARRANTY FOR 500 MILES LEFT 35658
HEATHER MAKES NOISES WHEN BLOWING BOLTS ARE MISSING THAT HOLDS THE FRONT GRILL OR BUMPER
WHEN RETURNING FROM A TRIP TO UPPER MICHIGAN MY WINDSHIELD WAS DIRTY SO I PRESSED THE WINDSHIELD WASHER BUTTON AND NOTHING HAPPENED SO I PRESSED IT AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULTS, SO WE CONTINUED ON. WE WE ON A 6 LANE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 72 MPH. WHEN APPROACHING OUR EXIT I NEEDED TO GET AROUND 2 SEMIS SO I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND THE RPM GAUGE WENT TO 5000 RPM AND THE SPEED SUDDENLY DROPPED DOWN TO ABOUT 60 MPH, I TRIED IT AGAIN AND IT DID THE SAME THING. WHEN I FINALLY GOT SAFELY OFF THE HIGHWAY I WENT DIRECTLY TO MY DEALER WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME FOR THE NEXT WEEK. WE WENT TO OUR HOME NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. THE FOLLOWING DAY WE NEEDED TO RUN SOME ERRANDS AROUND TOWN AND THE CAR RAN PERFECT AND HAS EVER SINCE. THIS HAPPENED ON DEC. 7.2018. MY CONCERN IS WHEN WILL THIS HAPPEN AGAIN AND WILL I BE IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC AGAIN
2016 DODGE HELLCAT FRONT STRUTS REPLACED IN MAY 18 2018 NOW THE STRUTS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM CAR ISN'T DRIVING STRAIGHT AND STRUTS ARE ON BACK ORDER SINCE SEP 22 UNTIL NOW. BOUGHT THE CAR 9/2/18 AND THE REDDING DEALERSHIP USED CAR MANAGER DAVE BIRCH AND THE OWNER STEVE ROBERTS HAVE BEEN UNPROFESSIONAL IN TALKING TO ME. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE STATUS ON MY CAR AND IS THIS A NORMAL SITUATION AND STANDARD PROCEDURE AFTER BUYING NOT ONE BUT TWO CARS AND TAKING A CAR IN FOR REPAIRS NOT HAVING THE CAR WITH LESS THAN 7016 MILES AND AFTER REPAIRING A SCRATCH ON THE BACK BUMPER AND HAVING TO REPLACE THE TIRES WHICH SHOULD'VE BEEN REPLACED BEFORE PUTTING THE CAR ON THE LOT, BECAUSE THE SALES AGENT AND USED CAR MANAGER HAD TO TEST THE DEPTH OF THE TIRES WHICH THEY SHOULDN'T HAD TO CHECK IF THEY WOULD'VE JUST REPLACED THE TIRES IN THE BEGINNING ALL THIS COULD'VE BEEN AVOIDED NOW THERE'S A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD WHEN THE CARE WAS PURCHASED WINDSHIELD, THE OWNER AND USED CAR MANAGER ACTUALLY ASKED '' WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT FROM US DAVID WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT US TO DO FOR YOU '' AFTER I ASKED IS THIS A NORMAL SITUATION AND PROCEDURE. WELL AFTER THE USED CAR MANAGER WAS RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL TO ME I WAS RUDE TO HIM AND THEN WHEN I ASKED TO SPEAK TO HIM HE WAS NOT TAKING MY CALLS ANYMORE AND LETTING ALL MY MESSAGES GO TO VOICEMAIL SO WHEN THE MANAGER DECIDED TO DO THAT THAT'S WHEN I TALKED TO THE OWNER STEVE HE STARTED ACTING THE SAME WAY THEY DIDN'T WANT TO TALK TO ME AND SWITCHED ME TO GUY THE SERVICE PART MANAGER. IF THIS IS HOW DODGE DEALERSHIPS OPERATE THEN I'LL NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE FROM BUYING A CAR FROM ANY DODGE DEALERSHIP OR ANY DODGE VEHICLE FOR THAT MATTER I DON'T WORK DUE TO THE REDDING WILDFIRES BURNING DOWN MY HOUSE AND BUSINESS WHICH I OWNED A PARTY BUS COMPANY AND WILL PURSUE THIS TO THE VERY END LUCKILY FOR ME THIS IS A SMALL TOWN & THE PEOPLE OF REDDING
THE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS SEPARATING FROM THE DOOR LEAVING A GAP BETWEEN THE WINDOW AND THE DOOR PANEL. APPARENTLY, THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT GETS HOT AND THE CHEAP FOAM ADHESIVE FCA USED EXPANDS AND CAUSES THE INTERIOR PANEL TO SEPARATE.
FUEL LEAKS AFTER FUEL TANK IS FILLED PARKED OR DRIVING, STRONG FUEL SMELL WHILE DRIVING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. INSPECTED VEHICLES..(THIS IS THE 3RD 2016 CHARGER IN OUR FLEET THAT HAS HAD THIS CONCERN) FOUND FUEL PUMP COVER PLATE HAS A HOLE BURNT IN IT NEXT TO AND AROUND FUEL PUMP ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR. I HAVE INCLUDED PICTURES OF TWO FUEL PUMP COVERS.. NOTE: VEHICLES HAD BETWEEN 45,000-72,000 MILES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED, THE BRAKES MADE A SQUEAKING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE JERKED. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS WERE ABNORMALLY COVERED IN BLACK DUST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WEST HERR DODGE (3551 SOUTHWESTERN BOULEVARD, ORCHARD PARK, NEW YORK, 14127, (716)-235-2960) NUMEROUS TIMES REGARDING THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE BRAKES EMITTED A SQUEAKING NOISE. THE DEALER CLEANED THE BRAKES AND REPLACED THE REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS; HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE SQUEAKING AND JERKING FAILURES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS; HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,127.
THE DRIVERS SIDE HEATING VENT BLOWS COLD AIR. THE COLD AIR COMPLETELY FOGGED OVER THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDSHIELD SO YOU CAN'T SEE OUT. HAD TO BEND OVER AND LOOK OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE. DODGE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FAR TOO LONG, INVOLVING ALL MODELS, AND NEEDS TO MAKE A FIX. VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.
WHEN I RECENTLY TRIED TO CLOSE MY SUN ROOF ON MY 2016 DODGE CHARGER RALLY, I WASNT ABLE TO DO SO. THE CAR WAS ON, I EVEN CALLED AND DID THE SYSTEM REBOOT WITH A REP BUT THAT DIDNT HELP, I TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, NOTHING WORKED. ALSO, THE BLACK MATERIAL HAS COME UNDONE ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER DOOR WHICH IS LEAVING THE INDOOR PANEL EXPOSED AND NOT SEALING THE WINDOWS ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. THE BLACK MATERIAL IN THE MIDDLE WHERE THE AIRBAGS ARE IS ALSO COMING UNDONE. CURRENTLY WAITING ON A CALL BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE ALL OF THIS JUST HAPPENED.
VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SERVICE ON POWERTRAIN, TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS HARD WHEN SLOWING DOWN WHEN CRUISING AT 40+, (VEHICLE WILL JERK HARD AT 10 MPH AND BANG AROUND 10 MPH) SERV AWD SYSTEM PERIODICALLY COMES ON AND CAR WILL LOOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING AND WILL NEED TO BE SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON TO BEABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN AND AWD LIGHT WILL NO LONGER BE ON. THIS HAS HAPPEND TWICE ON CITY STREETS AND ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS .ALSO THE CAR HAS MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST OWEN PUT INTO PARK AND WILL ROLL AWAY AND SAY SERVICE TRANSMISSION SET PARKING BRAKE AND IF YOU DON'T SET PARKING BRAKE AND TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR WILL STALL, DEALER REPLACED TRANSMISSION MANUAL SERVICE SWITCH AND THE CAR HAS DONE IT 2 TIMES SINCE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO 'FIX' IN SIGHT DODGE CUSTOMER CARE HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND THERE IS A CASE OPEN, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SERIOUS SAFETY POWERTRAIN ISSUES WITH NO REMEDY IN SIGHT, DEALER SAYS CAR BANGS BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION IS 'STUCK IN A SWEET SPOT' BUT THEY DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THE SERVICE AWD LIGHT
THE WIRING HARNESS ABOVE THE FUEL PUMP BECAME HOT ENOUGH TO MELT A HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK COVER AND ALLOW FUEL TO ESCAPE OUT OF THE TANK, UNDER THE BACK SEAT, THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. THE ATTACHED PICTURE IS THE BURN ON THE INSIDE THE OF TANK. DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS ENOUGH THAT WHEN THEY SELL A NEW PUMP TO REPLACE THEY SUPPLY A NEW WIRING HARNESS WHICH WE THINK MOVES THE GROUND. IN ADDITON ON THIS CAR, WHICH WE WILL CALL 261, THE FILTER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS EXAMINED. A SENSOR CONNECTION IN THE SIDE OF THE FILTER SHOWS SIGNS OF HEAT. THIS IS THE SIXTH CAR THIS FUEL PUMP PIN HOLE MELT HAS OCCURED ON, FROM 2012 TO 2016 MODELS. *TT
THE WIRING HARNESS ABOVE THE FUEL PUMP BECAME HOT ENOUGH TO MELT A HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK COVER AND ALLOW FUEL TO ESCAPE OUT OF THE TANK, UNDER THE BACK SEAT, THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. THIS WAS REPORTED TO A DEALER, 6/20/17, WHO REPLACED THE WIRING HARNESS AND FUEL PUMP. THIS WAS THE SECOND OF NOW 7 CARS, THIS ONE BEING CALLED UNIT 258. *TT
SOMETIMES WHEN I GET IN MY VEHICLE AND ATTEMPT TO BUCKLE MY SEAT BELT IT DOESN'T PROPERLY LOCK IN PLACE. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE OVER 3 MONTHS. SOMETIMES IT WORK AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO ATTEMPT AT LEAST 20 TIMES. DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE$175 JUDY TO CHECK IT OUT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE WAS DRIVING 55 MPH DOWN A HILL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, A DEER JUMPED IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE DRIVER SWERVED, BUT THE VEHICLE WENT OVER A CLIFF AND CRASHED INTO SOME TREES. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A MILD CONCUSSION, BROKEN RIBS, AND HEAD INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

I DRIVEN MY CAR AND PARKED IT FOR A FEW HOURS AND WHEN I RETURNED THE TIRE INDICATOR SAID THE TIRE WAS AT 0. PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE READS 0 TIRE PRESSURE EVEN WHEN THE TIRE IS INFLATED AT OR ABOVE 32 PSI. IT CONTINUES TO READ TIRE PRESSURE LOW INFLATE TO 32 PSI.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (SOUTH COUNTY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM, 455 AUTOMALL DRIVE, GILROY, CALIFORNIA 95020) FOR AN ACCELERATION FAILURE SIX MONTHS PRIOR, BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE.

TROUBLE TURNING THE VEHICLE BACK ON AFTER ABOVE ISSUES OCCURRED HAD TO POWER CYCLE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIME FOR ACTUAL STARTUP. COULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK AFTER POWER CYCLES AND HAD TO DO SEVERAL MORE POWER CYCLES. SECOND TIME ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED AFTER ALREADY TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF LOW VOLTAGE AND HAD NOT DONE ANY OTHER WORK ON VEHICLE OTHER THAN RESET CODE AND PUT MILES ON VEHICLE.

AFTER DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS, I PARKED MY CAR IN A MOTEL PARKING LOT, GOT OUT, AND NOTICED OIL SPRAYED ONTO THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND BACK DOORS INCLUDING PART OF THE REAR BUMPER, SAW OIL SPRAYED ON THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE, AND NOTICED A PUDDLE OF OIL ON THE GROUND UNDER THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR . AFTER CHECKING THE OIL DIPSTICK, IT REGISTERED ZERO OIL. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SOUND ALERTED ME THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS LOW. I TOWED MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND THAT AN OIL COOLER HOSE RUPTURED AND RESULTED IN COMPLETE OIL LOSS. IT IS STILL IN THE SHOP WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT HOSE. THIS DEFECTIVE HOSE PROBLEM WAS FOUND ON 2017 CHARGER MODELS THAT COULD RESULT IN ENGINE SEIZURE OR FIRE AND THEY WILL BE RECALLED IN SEPTEMBER 2018. APPARENTLY SOME 2016 MODELS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE REPLACEMENT HOSE THE DEALER ORDERED IS A NEW TYPE DESIGNED NOT TO FAIL LIKE THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TO AVOID A POTENTIAL DISASTER IN THE FUTURE WHILE I'M DRIVING THE CAR.
INSIDE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL IS COMING OFF. SEPARATED FROM THE DOOR FRAME 5 DAYS AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE.
4/6/2018 WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 44 DRIVING AT 65 MPH TRAVELING EAST TOWARD ST LOUIS MO OUR SUNROOF EXPLODED. SOUNDED LIKE A BLOWN TIRE. THE SUNSHADE WAS CLOSED AND MOST OF THE GLASS BLEW OUTWARD. VERY LITTLE GLASS WAS LEFT. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE SUNROOF TO EXPLODE. UNKNOWN REASON. WE WERE NOT DRIVING UNDER AN OVERPASS. IT JUST EXPLODED. WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE THE SUNSHADE CLOSED AND LUCKY THAT THE FLYING GLASS DID NOT HURT OR HIT THE CARS BEHIND US. I KEEP MY COOL DURING PROBLEMS. I JUST SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OVER ABOUT A MILE LATER. HOWEVER, I COULD SEE HOW IT MIGHT STARTLE SOME PEOPLE INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS 18 MONTHS OLD WITH 27,XXX MILES. I BABY MY CHARGER SRT AND AGAIN, THERE WAS NO REASON. IT IS THE CAR COMPANY'S STAND THAT THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON GLASS. OUR INSURANCE IS PAYING FOR IT, BUT WE ARE OUT THE DEDUCTIBLE OF $250. AND, WHEN I STARTED THIS REPORT I HAD TO CLICK ON THE AREA SUCH AS TIRES, ENGINE ECT. THERE IS NOT AN ICON THAT SAYS SUNROOF. I HAD TO CLICK "OTHER". YOU NEED AN ICON FOR SUNROOF... I DO HAVE PICTURES. IT IS JUST A SUNROOF WITH A LITTLE GLASS AROUND THE EDGE STILL ATTACHED.
THE HARNESS ON THE CAR IS DEFECTED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF ON THE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. PULLED OFF HIGHWAY INTO GAS STATION AND GASSED UP. WHEN TRYING TO START ENGINE IT MADE A HEAVY, THUNKING SOUND WHILE TRYING TO TURN OVER. GOT IT TOWED TO A GARAGE WHERE THEY SAID THE ENGINE DROPPED A VALVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEN HAD IT TOWED TO ANOTHER GARAGE AND GOT THE SAME EXACT DIAGNOSIS - DROPPED A VALVE, CYLINDER DESTROYED, ENGINE A TOTAL LOSS AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE OWNER OF THE SECOND GARAGE SAID DROPPING A VALVE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE V8 2006 CHARGER.
AFTER FILLING MY CHARGER UP WITH PREMIUM FUEL, IT IMMEDIATELY STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I AM DRIVING, I LOSE THE POWER STEERING AND I AM UNABLE RESTART IT RIGHT AWAY. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP, AND I HAVE PAID OVER $500 DOLLARS TO THE DEALERSHIP TO TROUBLE SHOOT IT, AND THEY DO NOT HAVE A CLUE. VERY DANGEROUS FEELING. SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED FROM THIS ISSUE, IT COMES AT VARYING TIMES.

SMELL COMING OUT BLOWER FROM COMING UNDER HOOD. DEALER CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM IS BURNT SMELL WHEN HAVE BLOWER GOING WHEN DRIVING THE CAR. I HAD THREE DIFFERENT TIMES THIS HAPPEN.I DO NOT I KNOW WHAT TO DO. I REACH TO DODGE AND IT IS NOW HAS RECORDS OF IT. I FOUND OIL UNDER ENGINE COVER WHICH THEY HAVE SAID ENOUGH ABOUT!!!!!!!! SO IF THIS CAR CATCH FIRE OR BLOW UP DO TO DEALER WAS AWARE OF ISSUES. *TR
AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT WILL RESTART BUT IMMEDIATELY STALL AGAIN CAUSING ME TO RESTART IT AGAIN. IT WILL DO SO 5 TO 10 TIMES BEFORE RUNNING NORMALLY AGAIN. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER AT WHAT SPEED BUT MOSTLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS. I HAVE BEEN CAUGHT IN LANES ON THE FREEWAY AND IT COULD LEAD TO A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY HERE IN CALIFORNIA. THIS CAR HAS BEEN BABIED AND HAS LESS THAN 25,000 MILES ON IT.
DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, BECAME NAUSEATED AND DIZZY FROM FUMES COMING FROM A/C VENTS. DEALER FOUND LEAKING HEATER CORE. CAR WAS NEW WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES. NOTICED SLIGHT SMELL AT PURCHASES, SALESMAN SAID IT WAS JUST "NEW CAR SMELL". CAR PRESENTLY IN DEALERS REPAIR SHOP. *TR
VERY DECREASED VISIBILITY IN WINDSHIELD WHEN SUN HITS IT. LOOKS LIKE MICRO SHATTERS IN THE WINDSHIELD. UNABLE TO GET TO IT, LIKE THE "MILLIONS OF SPARKLES" ARE INSIDE THE GLASS. UNABLE TO MAKE OUT ANYTHING IN FRONT OF THE CAR EXCEPT BIG SHAPES (CAR, TRUCK, ETC). THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER THE SUN IS IN FRONT OF YOU, MORNING AND EVENING COMMUTE IS WHEN IT HAPPENS TO ME EVERY DAY. THE CAR CAN BE IN MOTION OR SITTING STILL, WHEREVER YOU ARE.
THE LED LIGHTS ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE ARE VERY BRIGHT AT NIGHT. DUE TO THE CONTINUOUS BAR WITH NO BREAKS, IT IS DIFFICULT FOR OTHERS TO JUDGE DISTANCE AND SPEED. THIS IS VERY EVIDENT WHEN DRIVING IN MIXED TRAFFIC. VEHICLES WITH TWO SEPARATE LIGHTS ARE EASIER TO JUDGE DISTANCE AND SPEED DIFFERENCES. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH STEREO VISION LIMITATIONS AT NIGHT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SWITCH FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE STEERING COLUMN UNDERCARRIAGE TRAPPED THE CONTACT'S FOOT ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,950.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE AND A FIRE REPORT WERE FILED. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THE ENGINE WAS THE RESULT OF THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,200.
STRONG SMELL OF RAW FUEL AFTER CAR WAS DELIVERED ON MARCH 4, 2016. THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FUEL SYSTEM WHICH HAS NOT YET BEEN RECTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP AS OF MARCH 17, 2016. WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING, YOU CAN SMELL FUEL (RAW GAS). IT ACTUALLY WAS COMING IN TO THE CABIN VIA THE FRESH AIR VENTS ON THE DASH. IT'S WORSE WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED OR AT A STOP LIGHT. I DETECTED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A LOOSE FUEL LINE BUT DEALERSHIP HAS NOT YET STATED WHETHER THAT IS THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED A FUEL RAIL BUT FUEL SMELL DID NOT GO AWAY. THIS WAS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD.
BURNT PLASTIC AND CHEMICAL SMELL, EXHAUST FUMES IN CABIN CAUSING MIGRAINE, VOMITING,DIZZINESS IN FACT CAUSED SKIN TO TURN GREY. DEALERSHIP WAS NO HELP SO WE CONTACTED DODGE CORPORATE AND SERVICE APPOINTMENT WAS MADE AFTER 2 WEEKS AND DODGE HAVING AN INTERNAL INVESTIGATION OF VEHICLE WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE 2016 DODGE CHARGER RALLY EDITION IS UNSAFE AND WAS PLACED FOR BUYBACK.WE ONLY HAD POSSESSION FOR 14 DAYS. THE DEALERSHIP THO IS REFUSING TO DO THE BUYBACK EVEN THOUGH THY HAVE 100% POSSESSION AND CONTROL.
