MY PASSENGER AIRBAG DASH LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND I HAVE SEEN RECALLS ONLINE BUT WHEN I PUT IN MY VIN IT SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2015 BUT THE LIGHT CAME ON IN 2017 AND MY MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS A RECALL BUT WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING FOR A RECALL SPECIFICALLY FOR MY CAR BUT I STILL HAVE NOT SEEN IT, EVEN THOUGH THE YEAR AND MODEL OF MY CAR HAS HAD A RECALL AND I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHY.

I HAD A TAKATA DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG RECALLED AND REPLACED. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, PERHAPS A YEAR, I RECEIVED VIA MAIL A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG; HOWEVER, THERE WERE NO AVAILABLE PARTS TO FIX IT. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. I'M WONDERING WHAT THE STATUS IS? HOW DO I GET THIS REPAIRED ETC. SHOULD I HAVE THE AIRBAG DISABLED? WILL ANYONE EVEN PERFORM THAT SERVICE?

ENGINE

Was driving and a tick was present then over heated sat on side of road until cooled down added coolant drove home . The next day car was drivable. Drove to school and car was sounding funny so took it to a repair shop and they told me the particular engine in the vehicle has a fuel efficient component where it shuts down the cylinders on the freeway, and the lifters are supposed to open, but our lifter did not open. It got stuck and grind the camshaft in the motor. Needless to say I had to have the car towed home. It’s just sitting in my parking lot. I tried calling Dodge. They wouldn’t help me. I tried calling multiple agencies to help. I looked up on the Internet and there is multiple complaints about the same problem it’s called the hemi lift so hopefully one day this can be recalled because I’m still paying on the car. I had a year and a half. No one will help me. My kids were driving the car. What if the thing blew up on them on the freeway and somebody hit them because Car wouldn’t move anymore . Or if they were taking the car through the desert and there is no phone calls and no one around. If they were going around corners of a mountain and just stopped on them or blew up because can’t drive the car anymore. very bad and scary and sad that the builder of that motor won’t fix their mistake and leave countless people stranded and in a predicament

I experienced a catastrophic timing chain failure despite prior recall work being performed by Dodge that supposedly resolved their known timing chain issues with the 5.7L hemi with automatic transmission. This failure occurred without any prior warning at a cruising speed of about 65 MPH rendering the car undrivable. There were no warning lights, drivability issues, or signs of the impending failure. This is a well-maintained car with only 80,000 miles, never missing a required oil change and other maintenance tasks. Timing chains should not fail at such low milage - indeed, timing belts will last longer before they fail. This failure occurred on a major highway placing me and other motorists in danger from the car being unmovable and potentially causing a high-speed collision on a 70 MPH highway. If this had occurred less than 0.5 miles down the road, both shoulders of the roadway were closed due to road widening construction. A certified letter with pictures of the timing chain and timing chain guide failures with a receipt for associated repairs was sent the to the manufacturer in December 2023 but they have not given me the courtesy of a reply. The engine was replaced by an independent mechanic at an out-of-pocket cost of $13,217.38 and the pictures were taken at that time by the repair shop.

Apr 02, 2024

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. Additionally, the low engine oil warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had reoccurred approximately three or four times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

MY PASSENGER DOOR LATCH WENT OUT. THERE'S A RECALL FOR 2011 CHALLENGERS BUT NOT 2010. MY 2010 HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS THE 2011 RECALLS. I HAD TO REPLACE MY DOOR LATCH BECAUSE MY WINDOW KEPT JUMPING UP AND DOWN WHILE MY CAR WAS OFF AND KILLED MY BATTERY. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAD NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT OR WHAT WAS CAUSING MY WINDOW TO JUMP UP AND DOWN. I HAD TO TELL THEM I READ ONLINE THAT THE LATCH WAS THE ISSUE. AFTER REPLACING THE LATCH THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED BUT TWO WEEKS LATER I ROLLED MY WINDOW DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND IT WILL NOT COME BACK UP. OF THE 2011 CHALLENGERS HAVE THE RECALL WHY DOESN'T THE 200 HAVE THE SAME RECALL BECAUSE THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES.

I HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT IN BETWEEN ME RELEASING THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATING MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND MY ENGINE STOPPED. THE CAR BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER AND THE BRAKES WERE DIFFICULT TO USE. THE A/C AND RADIO WERE STILL FUNCTIONAL. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE THE OIL LIGHT NO LONGER APPEARED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE THIS SUMMER 2015 AND ONCE LAST SUMMER 2014. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NO CODES WERE FOUND ON ALL OCCASIONS. I HAVE A LIFETIME MOPAR WARRANTY HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE, THEREFORE THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE ROOT CAUSE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ALSO COMPLETED OIL CONSUMPTION TESTING AND FOUND NO ISSUES. I WAS ABLE TO USE MY CELL PHONE TO RECORD THE OIL LIGHT SHOWING THE LAST TIME THE ISSUE OCCURRED. I HAVE ALSO FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH DODGE. DODGE SUGGESTED THAT THERE COULD POSSIBLY BE ELECTRICAL ISSUES.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DOWN AN EXPRESSWAY. SHE EXITED AND WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES AS SHE APPROACHED A STOP SIGN. AS THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 15 MPH, THE CAR ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF, WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER. WHEN THE CAR STALLED, IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER AND BRAKE, AS THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL. IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, SHE HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, AND THEN HIT THE START BUTTON. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS, AS THERE WERE OTHER MOTORISTS EXITING THE EXPRESSWAY BEHIND HER. THERE ARE MANY OTHER OPEN COMPLAINTS WITH THE NHTSA FOR THE 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 - EACH DESCRIBING AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM WITH RANDOM STALLING. ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE MANY VERY SIMILAR DESCRIPTIONS OF THIS PROBLEM ON DODGE CHALLENGER OWNER GROUP FORUMS. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND JUST AS OTHER CHALLENGER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO ACTED AS THOUGH THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH MANY DOCUMENTED CASES EXIST. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE, AND LIKE THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REFUSED TO HELP. I SPOKE WITH TWO DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIVES, AND BOTH OF THEM CLAIMED TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE CHALLENGER STALLING ISSUE, AND REFUSED TO TRANSFER ME TO ANOTHER DEPARTMENT THAT MIGHT BE WILLING TO INVESTIGATE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND APPEARS TO BE VERY COMMON WITH THIS PARTICULAR CAR. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED.

Aug 11, 2011

I BOUGHT A 2010 SRT8 DODGE CHALLENGER A FEW WEEKS AGO WITH JUST 50 MILES ON IT. I NOW HAVE APPROXIMATELY 800. ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER, THE CAR STALLED TWICE, BOTH TIMES WHILE COMING TO A STOP. THE SAME THING HAPPENED YESTERDAY AND TODAY, MAKING IT 4 TIMES IN LESS THAN A MONTH. SIMILAR TO OTHERS, MY DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF THE STALLING IN THEIR DIAGNOSTICS. 3 OUT OF THE 4 TIMES I WAS IN TRAFFIC, WITH THE OTHER TIME OCCURRING IN A PARKING LOT. THERE WAS NO WARNING WHEN IT HAPPENED. AFTER EACH STALL, I HAD TO PUT THE GEAR IN PARK AND RESTART. THE MOTOR STARTS WITH NO HESITATION AFTER A STALL. THERE ARE DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS. WHO IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED? CURRENTLY, I FEEL THE CARE IS TOO UNSAFE TO HAVE MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. *TR

Car stall no warning lite. Car has stalled when driving on the freeway, when exiting the Freeway as well at making turns. This has been happening for about 3 years. Seems to only happen during the summer months. The dodge dealership said that they would not be able to identify the problem unless a warning lite was on or they test drive and it happens. The problem doesn't happen all the time it's sporadic.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

PROBLEM: FUEL FUMES IN THE CABIN OF MY 2010 CHALLENGER STATIONARY AND IN MOTION (CITY AND HIGHWAY). THE FUEL TANK IS LOCATED UNDER THE REAR SEAT IN DODGE CHALLENGERS, CHARGERS AND THE CHRYSLER 300. INTERNET SEARCHES REGARDING FUEL FUMES IN THE CABIN REVEALED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING FUEL PUMP O-RING LEAKS. THERE ARE U-TUBE VIDEOS AVAILABLE FOR THE HOME MECHANIC. HOWEVER, IT IS UNREASONABLE TO EXPECT THAT AN OWNER PERFORM THIS REPAIR DUE TO THE EXPOSURE TO GASOLINE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. MY CHALLENGER IS A LIMITED EDITION MOPAR10 WITH METICULOUS MAINTENANCE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED. IT HAD ONLY 60,958 MILES WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 01/28/21. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP O-RINGS AT A COST OF $396.00 ($96 IN PARTS AND $300 IN LABOR). I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM IN ANY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED, NEW OR USED, SINCE 1978. THE EXPOSURE TO GASOLINE FUMES IS A WELL KNOWN HEALTH HAZARD ESPECIALLY IN A CLOSED ENVIRONMENT SUCH AS A VEHICLE CABIN. FOR THE CAR WITH ONLY 60K MILES WITH METICULOUS MAINTENANCE BEING PERFORMED BY ONE DEALERSHIP AND A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET, WARRANTS AN INVESTIGATION OF DODGE AND CHRYSLER REPAIR RECORDS ON THIS ISSUE. A $400 REPAIR IS 25% PARTS AND 75% LABOR. I RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT THAT A RECALL HAS BE ISSUED. PLEASE NOTE THAT MY DODGE DEALER HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONAL REGARDING CUSTOMER CARE. HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT OFFER TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT FREE OF COST BECAUSE NO RECALL EXISTS ON THIS ISSUE. MY DEALERSHIP IS JIM CLICK DODGE IN TUCSON, ARIZONA. THE REPAIR INVOICE NUMBER IS DDCS759163. YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO USE MY PERSONAL DATA ON THIS INVOICE TO CREATE A RECALL. THANK-YOU, RANDY STURGEON, RETIRED FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENT.

POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

The Gen III hemi has an inherent design flaw in which the rollers making contact with the camshaft will fail, causing damage to the camshaft and causing the engine to misfire. This is due to the camshaft being moved away from the crankshaft as it causes oil starvation. After extensive research it appears to affect cars of various miles and workload. There is no single cause that makes this happen other than a grievous design flaw. The main complaint is that you experience total power loss at higher revs, making it dangerous to drive on the interstate or attempting to merge into traffics as the engine begins to shudder and lose most power. Whether it’s 40K miles or 110K miles, the flaw does not discriminate. After numerous attempts to reach Chrysler technical service on how to prevent this, I’ve been ignored and case numbers deleted. Now this is very important. This causes a misfire which not only destroys catalytic converters, but arrives with no notice. It’s very possible someone may be attempting to pass someone on the interstate and suddenly lose power. My mechanic inspected it and confirmed that the rollers failed, causing causing lifters to not make proper clearance. This needs to be investigated as this engine is in millions of cars. And even if 1% of these failure occur on an interstate, the potential for fatalities is absolutely nothing to ignore. I kindly ask that this matter be investigated. As not everyone can afford the 5K to fix this problem like I can. And due to its high prevalence in trucks, this could cause those who use their trucks for work to be put in a tight spot. I understand normal wear and tear, but by no means should a cam and valve train fail this soon in a car. Giving the Gen III hemi by Chrysler and their infamous timing chain defect, I believe this is also a dangerous flaw and something Chrysler ignored. Hoping it would outlast warranties. Best regards.

A RECALL WAS PERFORMED IN 2015 REGARDING A TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. THIS CAR SAT IN A DEALER LOT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND RARELY DRIVE IT. A TIMING CHAIN FAILURE STALLED ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. A CHRONIC ISSUE ACCORDING TO MOST FORUMS, EVEN AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 73,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED REGARDLESS OF MONTHS,OF THE FACT THAT IT WAS MORE THAN 24 MONTHS. IT IS A VERY LOW MILEAGE CAR FOR THE YEAR AND THIS IS ON ONGOING ISSUE FROM THESE VEHICLES FROM 2009-2012.

COMPUTER INDICATED "CAM SHAFT SENSOR FAILURE". REP ADVISED REMOVE SENSOR, LOOK TO SEE IF "GEAR" TURNS WHEN ENGINE IS CRANKED. IF GEAR TURNED THEN TIMING CHAIN OK, AND IT WAS JUST A BAD SENSOR. IF GEAR DIDN'T TURN THEN THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE. VEHICLE TOWED HOME AND SENSOR REMOVED. GEAR DIDN'T TURN WHEN ENGINE CRANKED, SO THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO DEALER.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 CHALLENGER RT 4.7L HEMI ON THE CA 15 FREEWAY AT 70 MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN. THE WARNING LIGHTS FOR ENGINE AND OIL CAME ON AND I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP. STEERING AND BRAKES REMAINED OPERATIONAL AND LUCKILY I MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER AS THE 15 FREEWAY IS EXTREMELY BUSY AND FAST. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A NEARBY DODGE DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY PLASTIC TIMING CHAIN GUIDES HAD DISINTEGRATED AND CAUSED A BLOWN ENGINE. THE CAR REPAIRS (REBUILT ENGINE) WERE COVERED UNDER THE 100K MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BUT TOOK 4 WEEKS TO COMPLETE. THE CAR HAD 54K FREEWAY MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, WAS REGULARLY MAINTAINED, AND NEVER SHOWED ANY INDICATIONS THAT A SEVERE ISSUE WOULD HAVE BEEN FORTHCOMING. I NOW QUESTION THE LONGEVITY OF THE NEW REBUILT ENGINE AS SAME TIMING CHAIN ASSEMBLY PARTS WERE USED DURING THE REPAIR. NOTICED THERE IS AT LEAST ONE OTHER IDENTICAL REPORT ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE SO REPORTED ON MY INCIDENT. *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 35 MPH. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER RT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED MY THERE WAS ISSUES WITH THE TIMING CHAIN AND THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND THAT THERE WOULD BE NO CHARGE TO ME FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN. WHEN I PICKED UP MY 2010 CHALLENGER RT A WEEK LATER THE CHECK ENGINE WAS STILL ON AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO DIAGNOSE IT FURTHER. THE NEXT DAY THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THE MDS SOLENOID WIRING TO THE MAIN HARNESS HAD MELTED AND THAT THE ENGINE HARNESS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURES WARRANTY OR MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT IT WOULD BE $2000 OUT OF POCKET TO ME. THE DEALERSHIP NEVER GAVE ANY EXPLANATION WHY THE WIRING MELTED AT THE MDS SOLENOID TO THE MAIN HARNESS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. AT THE TIME I ONLY HAD 38,000 MILES ON MY CAR. *JS

IF CHRYSLER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR, THEY WOULD REMEMBER IT FROM 3 DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED IT FROM WESTPOINTE DODGE IN OKLAHOMA. I HAD PROBLEMS FROM DAY ONE, MAINLY FROM THE LIES I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP, I BOUGHT IT NEW! I WAS TOLD OF ALL THE EXTRAS ON THIS VEHICLE INCLUDING A NAVAGATION SYSTEM, I TRIED TO GET THE NAVAGATION SYSTEM TO WORK, NO LUCK. I CALLED THEM AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK, PROBABLY JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE NAVAGATION SYSTEM HOOKED UP. I TOOK IT BACK, THEY SAID IT HAD ONE, THEN LOOKED AND CHECKED AND ON AND ON, THEN SAID NO NAVAGATION SYSTEM, THEY INSTALLED AN AFTER MARKET MIRROR SO I WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL ME WHAT DIRECTIONS I WAS GOING. THAT WAS NOT THE END THERE. I SENT 10 PAGES OF NOTES TO CHRYSLER EXPLAINING ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAD WITH THE VEHICLE. THEY GAVE ME FREE OIL CHANGES. NOW, IN MARCH, THE CAR STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING, IT WOULD DIE AFTER RUNNING ROUGH, THEN AFTER 2-3 TRIES IT WOULD START. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MAY 1ST, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM, PROBABLY JUST BAD GAS, I HAD GOT IT BACK 2 DAYS LATER. THE NEXT DAY, IT WOULD NOT START, AFTER A FEW MORE TRIES IT DID START. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT BACK TO THEM ON MAY 6TH. I CALLED THEM MAY 7TH, SAID THEY THOUGHT THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM AND CHANGED SOMETHING. I CALLED THEM YESTERDAY AND THEY SAID IT STILL HAD THE PROBLEM AND THEY HAD CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY COULD HELP FIND THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED TODAY AND SAID THEY "THINK" THEY HAVE IT FIXED, BUT WILL NEED TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY AND START IT AGAIN TO SEE IF IT IS FIXED. THIS IS A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAT 20 THOUSAND MILES. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAN IF AND WHEN I GET IT BACK,I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE PROBLEMS. *TR

I need to address a serious issue regarding the car I purchased in 2020 from a private vendor. Upon taking the car to Crown Dodge Dealership in Ventura County for repair, I had to pay roughly $700 out of pocket for the service and rented a car from Hertz for the days I was without my car. However, upon receiving the car back, it still had unresolved issues with the electrical components and dashboard noise. It is unacceptable that the manager at the dealership did not prioritize my safety or the quality of the car I purchased. Since this car is my sole mode of transportation, I demand a prompt resolution to this matter. I expect immediate assistance in addressing these concerns. Thank you.

The car has an intermittent issue where at highway speeds it will go into almost a limp mode. Basically the check engine light comes on and car loses power and won't go over 45 mph. I have to pull over and shut car off. It will restart and operate normally for a random period of time. Very dangerous when on the highway and have to pull over to the side of the road. From the forums I belong to, this is a very common problem. There are even members that have bought a brand new Challenger and had this happen to them after a few months. The code that usually appears from this is misfire on cylinder 1 and even the dealerships don't know what causes it and hard to diagnose since it happens randomly. Love the car but very annoyed that this keeps happening and no one can figure out the fix

WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE CHECK ENGINE OIL AND ESP LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY FOUR CHIMES AND THEN CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND THE STEERING LOCKED. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE CAR STARTED UP AGAIN AND THE CODES TURNED OFF. APPROX 1 MONTH LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED. I WAS MAKING A TURN ON A ROUNDABOUT WHEN THE SAME THING OCCURRED DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING CAPTURED ON THE COMPUTER. THEY REPLACED THE KEY FOB AND SAID THAT THIS SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. 4-5 MONTHS LATER, I WAS IN RENO, NV. I WAS DRIVING 20-35 MPH AND AGAIN CHECK ENGINE OIL LIGHT, ESP AND FOUR CHIMES AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN, THE STEERING LOCKED, AND I COASTED UNTIL I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PLACED IT IN PARK, STARTED CAR AND OIL AND CODES TURNED OFF. 24 HOURS LATER WHEN DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE SAME THING OCCURRED!!! I PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND LET THE CAR ROLL, CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PLACED CAR IN PARK AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE CAR STARTED AND CODES TURNED OFF. THE FOLLOWING DAY I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT, AS NOTHING WAS RECORDED IN THE INTERNAL COMPUTER. I ASKED FOR THE CAR TO BE KEPT UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT IN THAT ONE WEEK. I ASKED FOR A CO PILOT COMPUTER TO BE PLACED IN THE VEHICLE IN HOPES OF CAPTURING THE PROBLEM WHEN IT OCCURRED, AS THE CODES TURN OFF AFTER CAR IS STARTED. DODGE SENT OUT A REP TO INSPECT VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTION THEY STATED NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND THERE ARE NO CODES STORED ON THE COMPUTER. I AM NOW FACED WITH DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT SHUTS OFF ON ME IN THE CITY AND MOST DANGEROUSLY ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO SET PATTERN AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT!! *TR

I USED MY REMOTE START TO WARM-UP MY 2010 CHALLENGER RT. I LEFT FOR WORK AND TRAVELED AT 20 MPH IN MY SUBDIVISION. I ARRIVED AT INTERSECTION TO MAKE AT TURN ONTO A 45 MPH STREET AND TRAVELED ABOUT 1 MILE TO LIGHT STOPPED AND MADE A RIGHT TURN ONTO ANOTHER 45 MPH STREET (4 LANES). AS I INCREASED SPEED TO 45 LIMIT I FELT THE GAS PEDAL PULL AWAY FROM MY FOOT AND THE CAR BEGAN TO QUICKLY SPEED UP. I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN THE BRAKE THINKING THAT THE PEDAL WAS STUCK DUE TO COLD WEATHER 18 DEGREES. IT JUST KEPT INCREASING IN SPEED. I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL TO TAKE TORQUE OFF THE DRIVE TRAIN. I LET IT COAST INTO THE NEXT SIDE STREET AND PUT IT INTO PARK. THE ENGINE WAS IDLING AT 4000 RPM. I SHUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT IMMEDIATELY JUMPED BACK UP TO 4000 RPM. I HAD TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE WAY SO I PULLED IT INTO A CUL-DE-SAC RIDING THE BRAKE WITH BOTH FEET. AGAIN, I SHUT IT OFF, WAITED A LITTLE AND RESTARTED IT. AGAIN, IT JUMPED TO 4000 RPM. I CALLED MY WIFE AND TOLD HER WHAT HAD HAPPENED. SHE SUGGESTED THAT I BRING IT HOME AND TAKE OUR OTHER CAR. I DECIDED TO TRY SHUTTING IT DOWN AGAIN. AGAIN WHEN I STARTED IT JUMPED TO 4000 RPM. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT HOME AND RODE THE BRAKE BACK TO THE STOP IN ORDER TO MAKE THE LEFT TURN TO GO HOME. THE TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC GOING THAT DIRECTION WAS NON-STOP SO I ELECTED TO AVOID GOING INTO A CONGESTED SITUATION NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WOULD DO. I DECIDED TO GO RIGHT SINCE THERE WERE NO CARS GOING THAT DIRECTION TO WORRY ABOUT HITTING. SHORTLY AFTER I MADE THE TURN THE RPM'S DROPPED TO NORMAL. I PUNCHED THE ACCELERATOR TO CHECK IT AND MAKE SURE IT WOULD NOT REPEAT MY STARTLING EXPERIENCE. I THANK GOD THAT MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING IT AT THE TIME. SHE WOULD HAVE PANICKED AND WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. I DROVE THE CAR THE REST OF THE WAY TO WORK MAKING SURE THAT I KEPT A VERY SAFE DISTANCE BETWEEN ME AND THE CAR AHEAD. I SENT CHRYSLER AN EMAIL ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE. MY CAR IS NOW AT A DEALER BEING EVALUATED. *TR

THEY PROCEEDED TO SHOW ME ANOTHER NEW 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER STR8 WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EITHER THAT'S JUST THE WAY THEY COME. I WENT TO A DODGE FORUM AND SINCE MY POSTING ON FEB THE 11TH I NOW HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURES WARRANTY UNDER DEFECTS IN MATERIAL WORKMANSHIP.

2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 LIMITED EDITION (SRT8). THE SRT8'S TIRES LOSE AIR PRESSURE (5-10 POUNDS) WHENEVER A POTHOLE'S IS ENCOUNTERED OR GOING OVER A CURB LIP GREATER THAN ONE (1) INCH. DEALERSHIPS THAT PROVIDE AUTHORIZED FACTORY SERVICE HAVE TOLD ME THAT TIRE PRESSURE LOSS IS NORMAL AS THE SRT8 HAS FACTORY (OEM) ALUMINUM WHEELS THAT DEVELOP CRACKS IN THE CENTER OF THE WHEELS/RIMS FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THIS IS DEEMED UNACCEPTABLE AS THE SRT8 DOES NOT COME EQUIPPED WITH A SPARE TIRE AND THE TIRE INFLATOR KIT PROVIDED BY DODGE DOES NOT SEAL THE FACTORY (OEM) SRT8 ALUMINUM WHEELS/RIMS WHEN IT IS CRACKED. TIRE AIR PRESSURE LOSS OCCURS DRIVING AT NORMAL ROADWAY SPEEDS AS WELL AS UNDER 15 MILES PER HOUR TRAVELLING OVER DRIVEWAY AND, E.G., SHOPPING MALL ENTRANCES, CHANGES IN PAVEMENT GRADE, ETC.

PURCHASED NEW IN 11/2010. 2 YEARS INTO OWNERSHIP, ON ABOUT 4 OCCURANCES, ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF, LOOSE STEERING CONTROL AND BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME WHILE MAKING A SLOW RIGHT HAND TURN. PROBLEM DISAPPEARED AND THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE OF SOME KIND. NOW 3 YEARS LATER IT HAS STARTED DOING IT AGAIN EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. WHEN THE ENGINE DIES YOU CAN BARELY STEER AND HAVE TO REALLY PULL HARD ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP FROM GOING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BRAKES DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY EITHER, YOU LOOSE ALL POWER BRAKING AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR THIS ISSUE EXTENSIVELY. WHAT I HAVE FOUND IS ABOUT A HUNDRED OTHER DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS ON SEVERAL FORUM SITES DESCRIBING EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. NOBODY HAD AN ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM AND FOUND JUST AS MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THAT PEOPLE SAID WERE WRONG RANGING FROM ECM FAILURE TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT MODULES AND LOOSE CONNECTIONS. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT WOULD ONLY OCCUR WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. NOW IT DOES IT AT ANY TIME NO MATTER WHETHER SITTING IN A PARKING LOT OR DRIVING ON THE STREET. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE KEY ALL THE WAY OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON TO START IT AND THERE IS ALWAYS A DELAY FROM THE TIME YOU DO THAT TILL THE TIME IT RESPONDS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE AS SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITHOUT IT EVER BEING CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT MY CHALLENGER HAS STALLED WHEN MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN; THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT A EIGHT MONTHS AGO. YESTERDAY, I SLOWED TO TURN INTO MY OFFICE PARKING LOT. WHEN I WAS MAKING THIS RIGHT-HAND TURN, THE ENGINE STALLED AND I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR - ALMOST HITTING THE CURB. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. *TR

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY HOME LATE FROM WORK AT 65 MPH, WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE STOPPED. NO POWER, NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES. PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL TO TRY AND RESTART: WOULD TURN OVER NOT START. HAD TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER EXPEDITIOUSLY AND WAS STUCK THERE W/ A CONCRETE BARRIER TO MY RIGHT. CAR WOULD NOT START, WITH 18 WHEELER BIG RIGS BLOWING BY ME AT 65 MPH STUCK IN THE CAR. EXTREME DANGER. HAD TO GET IT TOWED 16 MI. TO DEALER AT 8:30 PM. EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE TO ME AND COMMUTERS AROUND ME--DEAD CAR, NO WARNING, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. PLEASE ADDRESS WITH CHRYSLER CORP. AS THIS IS A KNOWN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE!!! TOOK TO DEALER AND SAID THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE. HUH? AT 36,500 MI.??!! COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND UNACCEPTABLE. SEE POSTS HERE: HTTP://WWW.CHALLENGERTALK.COM/FORUMS/ARCHIVE/INDEX.PHP/T-69216.HTML. I PERSONALLY WILL NOT TRUST THIS CAR EVER AGAIN--GETTING ATTORNEY AND WILL LEMON THIS THING FOR MY FAMILY'S, AND FELLOW COMMUTERS' SAFETY, AND, IMHO, THE NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND FORCE A RECALL. CLEARLY CHRYSLER IS NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE AND PUTTING THE PUBLIC'S SAFETY AT RISK. NOW THAT THE NHTSA KNOWS ABOUT IT, THEY TOO MUST ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, OR, BE COMPLACENT AND IMPLICITLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DEATHS OR INJURIES RESULTING FROM THIS FATAL, WIDELY KNOWN--SEARCH GOOGLE FOR "CHALLENGER R/T TIMING CHAIN FAILURE"--DESIGN FLAW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT NO CAUSE FOR FAILURE WAS DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY DISPATCHED A MECHANIC, WHO REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACED TWO OF THE COMPUTERS. THE FAILURE RECURRED SIX MONTHS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,000. UPDATED 6/17/13 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SHIFT OFF SEVERAL TIMES WHILE MAKING TURNS, AND THEN IT WOULD TAKE A WHILE FOR IT TO RE-START. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO GO INTO NEUTRAL AT TIMES WHEN CHANGING GEARS. ON ONE OCCASION, THE CONSUMER SMELLED AN ODOR OF BURNING WIRES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE RADIO AND FUSE BOX. THE VEHICLE WOULD START AND WHEN IT WAS PUT IN GEAR, IT WOULD STALL. *JB *TR

MY 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T ROUGHLY SAT FOR 2-3 WINTER MONTHS, DRIVEN 2-3 TIMES DURING THAT PERIOD. WHILE STARTING IT UP IN FEBRUARY THE CAR STARTED THEN STALLED OUT. I TURNED THE KEY BACK TO OFF AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR. I WAS GETTING ON TO THE HIGHWAY MAKING A RIGHT TURN. AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN, MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 35-40MPH THE CAR STALLED AND I HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I RESTARTED AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE AS NORMAL FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. ON FRIDAY MARCH 29TH 2013, I STARTED THE CAR AND IT STALLED AGAIN. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND WENT ON MY WAY TO WORK. I WAS MERGING FROM ONE HIGHWAY TO ANOTHER DOING ABOUT 40-45MPH ON THE ONRAMP WHEN THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE MEDIAN WHILE 3 CARS ALMOST REAR ENDED ME SINCE I HAD NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE. I PUT IT IN PARK, RESTARTED THE CAR AND WENT ON MY WAY. THAT SAME MORNING, I WAS GOING SOUTH BOUND ON THE HIGH WAY IN THE MIDDLE OF MOURNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC INTO THE CITY. I WAS GOING BETWEEN 65-75MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN THE HIGH SPEED LANE AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AND LOST ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE. AFTER COASTING FOR ABOUT 100 YARDS THE CAR SOMEHOW RESTARTED, POWER CAME BACK AND I CONTINUED TO WORK THAT MORNING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CARE TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AS OF 3/31 AND IS BEING LOOKED AT TO FIND THE ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T WITH A SERIOUS BRAKE DEFECT AT ONLY 15,000 MILES. I AM ONE OF MANY WHO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT ROTORS ON MY VEHICLE DUE TO SEVERE WARPAGE. I WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FROM OTHER OWNERS AND I'VE DONE MY BEST TO "BABY" THE BRAKES TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM FROM HAPPENING, YET IT HAPPENED ANYWAY. IN MY OPINION, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS PROVIDED ON THIS CAR ARE INFERIOR AND NOT CAPABLE OF STOPPING THE CAR UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME (PAST THE 12,000 MILE WARRANTY COVERAGE). AS A RESULT, MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATIONS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND EXTENSIVE TIME/DISTANCE NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS NOT TO BE THE CASE WITH THE SRT MODEL WHICH USES THICKER ROTORS. I IMPLORE YOUR ORGANIZATION INVESTIGATE THIS SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT IN THE SE AND R/T DODGE CHALLENGER MODELS ASAP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR

ON DECEMBER 11, 2019, MY SON WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE FOR WORK WHEN THE HORN STARTING BLOWING IN THE CAR AND WOULDN'T STOP. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. AFTER ABOUT 4 MINUTES IT STOPPED. I TOOK THE CAR TO SUPREME CHEVROLET IN PLAQUEMINE WHERE I PURCHASE THE CAR FROM. THE CAR WAS CHECKED OUT AND TOLD THAT I WAS GOING TO NEED ANOTHER HORN, THEY HAD ORDERED ONE AND IT SHOULD BE IN IN ABOUT 3 DAYS. WHEN I WENT TO THE SERVICE AREA TO PICK UP THE CAR, THE GUY TOLD ME THAT THE HORN AND AIRBAG HAD BEEN TAKEN OUT AND THEY HAD PUT SOMETHING AROUND THE STIRRING WHEEL TO HOLD IT DOWN UNTIL THE HORN CAN BE REPLACED. I HAVE CHECKED BACK MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY ARE STILL SAYING THEY CANNOT LOCATE THE HORN FOR MY CAR. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE A CAR WITHOUT A HORN AND AN AIRBAG. TODAY IS OCTOBER 23, 2020 AND I HAVE YET TO GET A HORN AND AIRBAG FOR THE CAR.*DT*DT*JB*JB

MY 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE ENGINE TURNS OFF AND I LOSE POWER STEERING. IT DOES THIS REPEATEDLY WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS BUT THE POWER STEERING MAKES IT VERY HARD TO TURN THE VEHICLE WHICH MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC OR ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK PRESS MY IGNITION START BUTTON TO TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY TO THE OFF POSITION AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATE AFTER THIS HAPPENS SO THE DODGE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED MY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED AND MY ESP, TRACTION CONTROL AND ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WAS DISABLED AND HASN'T BEEN ENABLED. AFTER STARTING THE CAR THE ESP, TC AND ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATE AND STAY ON. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE ARE NO TROUBLE CODES OR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT THOUSANDS OF OWNERS OF DODGE CHALLENGERS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THE SAME RESULT THAT THE DODGE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS CAN NOT FIND OR DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS RANDOM ENGINE SHUT OFF HAS HAPPENED AROUND 40 TIMES. IT'S HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY IN MOTION AT SPEEDS OF 75 MPH ON THE CITY STREET FROM 30-50 MPH AND WHEN LEAVING AN INTERSECTION AFTER THE STOP LIGHT TURNS GREEN LEAVING ME STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION IN DANGER OF BIENG HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE TURNING IN A INTERSECTION AND THE VEHICLE STOPPING WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC HEADING TOWARDS MY VEHICLE. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN HIT NUMEROUS TIMES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE PROOF OF MY VEHICLE TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH NO LUCK AS TO WHAT THE DANGEROUS PROBLEM IS.

I HAD SHIFTED THE CAR TO NEUTRAL, & FINALLY GOT IT STOPPED IN FRONT OF A HOUSE. I WAS VERY SHAKEN UP BY THIS & CALLED MY HUSBAND. HE SAID HE WOULD BE THERE ASAP. A MAN CAME OUT OF THE HOUSE & ASKED ME WAS I OK. I TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED & LET HIM KNOW MY HUSBAND WAS ON THE WAY. WHEN MY HUSBAND GOT THERE, HE GOT ME CALMED DOWN & SAID HE WAS GOING TO TRY TO DRIVE IT CAUTIOUSLY TO THE DEALER. I FOLLOWED HIM IN HIS CAR (TOYOTA) & WE MADE IT TO THE DEALER WITHOUT ANY OTHER INCIDENT. WE CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATION & THEY OPENED UP A CASE FILE (29522357) TRYING TO GET INFORMATION FROM CHRYSLER, MY HUSBAND LEFT MULTIPLE MESSAGES FOR THEM TO GET THE STATUS ON THIS.

I PURCHASED MY CHALLENGER IN 2011 AND QUICKLY BECAME AWARE THAT THE HEADREST PUT MY HEAD IN A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE PUSHED-FORWARD POSITION. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS AT MANIPULATING THE SEAT POSITION I CAME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT MADE IT TOLERABLE, BUT ON ANY LONG DRIVE (HALF AN HOUR OR MORE) I GET A STIFF NECK AND HEADACHE. I HAD NO HISTORY OF NECK PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THIS TIME. OVER TIME I SEEM TO HAVE DEVELOPED CHRONIC NECK STIFFNESS, MUSCLE TENSION AND NUMBNESS IN MY FINGERS. MY NECK HAS NOW STARTED CRACKING WHEN I TURN MY HEAD SUDDENLY. IT HAS NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE, BUT IT HAS SERIOUSLY AGGRAVATED THE PROBLEM. THE HEADACHES IT CAUSES ARE SEVERE AND CAN LAST WEEKS. I HAVE NOTICED WHENEVER I TAKE A "VACATION" FROM DRIVING MY CAR FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AT A TIME THE PROBLEM IMPROVES. JUST THIS WEEK, THOUGH, MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AND I HAVE A RENTAL, A 2013 CHEVY IMPALA. THIS CAR IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE REGARDING HEAD RESTRAINT PLACEMENT. NO MATTER WHAT SEAT POSITION I TRY, IT PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD AT A SHARP ANGLE. BY THE TIME I DRIVE HOME FROM WORK - 20 MINUTES - I AM ALMOST SICK FROM THE DISCOMFORT AND PAIN. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE... RECONSIDER THE LEGISLATION PASSED TO MAKE THESE NEW HEAD RESTRAINTS "SAFER" FOR ME. I MAY NEVER, EVER BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I SUFFER WHIPLASH INJURIES, BUT I AM CERTAINLY FEELING "WHIPLASH" PAIN. I BELIEVE IT IS CAUSING ME PERMANENT INJURY. THERE MUST BE A COMPROMISE TO MAKE CARS SAFER WITHOUT CHRONIC PAIN ISSUES FOR THEIR DRIVERS. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE, SO I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE. I WOULD FIND A NEW CAR, BUT ALL NEWER MODELS I LIKE SEEM TO HAVE THIS DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO, OTHER THAN REMOVING OR MODIFYING MY HEADREST TO TRY AND GET SOME RELIEF. SURELY A BETTER RULE IS PREFERABLE TO MY SOLUTION WHICH LEAVES ME COMPLETELY UNPROTECTED. *TR

AFTER CHANGING A DEAD BATTERY THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON (SOLID WHEN STARTING AND RUNNING). BEFORE CHANGING THE BATTERY THERE WAS NO ABNORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS OR NOTICEABLE HORSEPOWER ISSUES. THE MANUAL STATES TO TAKE THESE ACTIONS "IF THE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, SAFELY BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, PLACE THE SHIFT LEVER IN PARK, AND CYCLE THE IGNITION KEY. THE LIGHT SHOULD TURN OFF. IF THE LIGHT REMAINS LIT WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, YOUR VEHICLE WILL USUALLY BE DRIVABLE. HOWEVER, SEE AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR SERVICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE." IF THE LIGHT IS FLASHING WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, IMMEDIATE SERVICE IS REQUIRED. IN THIS CASE, YOU MAY EXPERIENCE REDUCED PERFORMANCE, AN ELEVATED/ROUGH IDLE OR ENGINE STALL, AND YOUR VEHICLE MAY REQUIRE TOWING." AFTER I CHANGED THE BATTERY, I STARTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND I HAD NO HORSEPOWER. SO AFTER PERFORMING VERY COMMON MAINTENANCE (CHANGING THE BATTERY), I HAVE TO DECIDE IF I AM GOING TO DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE MANUAL VAGUELY INTERPRETS THIS ERROR CODE AND HOW TO PROCEED TO FIX IT? THESE IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE CHRYSLER USES THE WORDING "USUALLY BE DRIVABLE" THE LOSS OF ANY THROTTLE CONTROL IS DANGEROUS. MY VEHICLE IS DRIVABLE, BUT ONLY AT 5 MPH. THIS IS THE ONLY INFORMATION CHRYSLER HAS IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER GROUP LLC CUSTOMER CENTER AND THAT WAS ALL THE INFORMATION THEY HAD AVAILABLE ALSO. CASE NUMBER [XXX].

ENGINE QUIT WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO WARNING! I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT IT DIDN'T QUIT ON ONE OF THE BACK ROADS I DRIVE EVERY DAY TO WORK, BECAUSE THERE ARE NO SHOULDERS TO PULL OVER ON, AND I WILL MOST LIKELY BE REAR ENDED WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN, AND I KNOW IT WILL.. I CAN TELL THE FAILURE IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN FROM MY PAST EXPERIENCE, AND I HAVE NOTIFIED CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT IT, BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 WITH 6.1L V* HEMI ENGINE. 6000 MILES ON IT AND IN PERFECT SHAPE. ON MAY 2ND AT 1PM I CAME OFF THE FREEWAY (AIR CONDITIONER WAS ON) AND SLOWED TO 10 MI/HR TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. POWER STEERING WENT DEAD THAN CAR STOOPED RUNNING. I TOOK IT TO TEMPE DODGE AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE. I GOGGLED IT AND FIND OUT ITS BEEN HAPPENING WITH A LOT OF SRT8S AND HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES; YET TEMPE DODGE IS UNAWARE OF IT??? REALLY!!!!! THIS NEEDS ADDRESSING NOW BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!!!! DODGE IS NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY AS IF THEY WISH IT WOULD GO AWAY. FOR A 40K CAR THIS IS RIDICULOUS!! THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ITEM AND IT NEEDS TO HAVE A ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS COMPLETED BY DODGE ENGINEERS ASAP!!! IF THIS HAPPENS AT HIGHER SPEEDS OR IN SHARPER TURN SOMEONE WILL DIE!! I WANT AN ANSWER. IF DODGE DOES NOT PROVIDE ONE ASAP I WILL MAKE IT MY PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO BE SURE NO ONE BUYS ANOTHER CHALLENGER WITHOUT BEING AWARE OF THE INCIDENTS IN DOCUMENTED FORM. *TR

I'VE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS MANY HAVE DESCRIBED WHEN YOUR CHALLENGER LOSES ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT LOW SPEEDS. LUCKILY I WAS PULLING INTO A CAR WASH WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND NOT AT MY SONS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHERE THE DEADLY POTENTIAL OF KILLING SCHOOL KIDS WAS THERE...BY THE WAY I WAS ON THE WAY TO PICK UP MY KID WHEN I MADE A LAST MINUTE CHOICE TO GET A QUICK WASH. SO AS STATED BY EVERYONE ELSE HERE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AN WAS ABLE TO START RIGHT BACK UP AFTERWARDS. NOT KNOWING THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT OTHERS WERE HAVING, I OPENED THE HOOD AND STARTED LOOKING FOR LOSE CABLES OR POPPED CAPS AND SUCH AND FINDING NOTHING. ALSO PRIOR TO TURNING THE CAR OFF I JUMPED INTO THE HIDDEN EPIC MENUS AND TOOK PICTURES OF THE IMPORTANT DATA SUCH AS CHIME CODES, CCN SOFTWARE VERSION JUST IN CASE THERE MIGHT BE AN UPDATE. I NOTICED THE OIL PRESSURE WAS AT 0!!! AFTER EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO WORKING I CHECK THE SAME DETAIL AND IT WAS AT A NORMAL 25PSI. SO TOOK CAR INTO DODGE AND AS NORMAL, "WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND THERE ARE NO ISSUES THAT I KNOW. WE ALSO COULDN'T REPRODUCE IT." REALLY? YOU COULDN'T REPRODUCE AN ISSUE THAT I TOLD YOU APPEARS TO BE RANDOM FROM ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN? IT'S LIKE THEY JUST DON'T GIVE TWO [XXX] ABOUT PEOPLE'S LIVES? SO I'LL CALL CORPORATE TOMORROW AND SEE HOW MUCH THEY DON'T CARE EITHER. BY THE WAY, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME FOR ME AND I WAS AT 17,250 MILES. CAR MODEL IS THE RT AUTOMATIC. LET'S HOPE WE CAN GET THEM TO FIX THIS BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN 30 DAYS THAT THE CHALLENGER R/T HAS SHUT OFF WHILE MAKING A TURN AT SPEEDS OF 25 MPH OR LESS. REFERENCE ODI ID # 10421234 / INCIDENT DATE OF 08/19/2011. WIFE WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN OFF OF A BUSY STREET (40 MPH SPEED LIMIT, INTO MY HOME NEIGHBORHOOD) WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY DIES, STEERING & BRAKES GO HARD, OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATES, AND SHE HAD TO COAST TO A STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, PRESS THE START BUTTON (EVEN THOUGH DASH MESSAGE SAID "KEY FOB NOT FOUND"), CAR RE-STARTS, AND SHE CONTINUED 1/2 MILE TO OUR HOME. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE LETTING MY WIFE OR KIDS DRIVE THIS CAR WHEN THE PROBABILITY OF IT DYING IS VERY POSSIBLE. I JUST DROVE THE CAR UP THE NARROW MOUNTAIN PASSES TO BIG BEAR, CA (8,000 FT ELEVATION) & BACK 3 DAYS AGO, AND THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF IT HAD DIED AND I HAD LOST CONTROL ON A WINDY MOUNTAIN ROAD. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR DIE BEFORE SOMEONE FORCES DODGE / CHRYSLER TO IDENTIFY & CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. CAR IS GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW MORNING, WHERE I EXPECT TO GET ALOT OF NOTHING, BUT ATLEAST MY COMPLAINTS WILL BE INTERRED INTO THE SERVICE SYSTEM. *TR

THIS IS 4TH OR 5TH TIME THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED, HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE COME UP WITH NOTHING. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AS WELL AS THOUSANDS ONLINE, YET THE DEALER STATES THEY ARE UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE. NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND I LOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKING. THE CAR BECOMES VERY HARD TO MANEUVER AND STOP. THE CAR WAS STOPPED IN AN INTERSECTION, AND THANKFULLY THE APPROACHING CARS WERE FAR ENOUGH AWAY TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND START IT UP AND DRIVE OFF WITH NO OTHER ISSUES. THIS INTERMITTENT STALLING IS BECOMING A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED, IF THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ALREADY.

CAR HAS STALLED AND SHUT DOWN 3 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING IT IN 08/2010. ALL THREE CASES THE CAR HAD JUST COMPLETED A TURN ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY WHERE LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST IT, WITH NO POWER STEERING, TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ON ALL THREE CASES, THE ONLY INDICATION I HAD THAT THE CAR SHUT OFF WAS THAT THE OIL LIGHT FLASHED ON. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR EASILY THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, BUT THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE. IT FINALLY DID IT AFTER THE THIRD TIME I TRIED IT. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM A FEMALE THAT LOVES HER NEW CAR, BUT MY HUSBAND IS WORRIED ABOUT ME DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY IF IT KEEPS SHUTTING OFF. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND DODGE NEEDS TO GET ON THE BALL AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING WITH THE DEALERSHIP, BUT AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS FROM EVERYONE ELSE, I HAVE LITTLE FAITH THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. DODGE, PLEASE FIX MY CAR!

VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND COMPLETE THE TURN WITHOUT INCIDENT DUE TO THE ALERTNESS OF THE DRIVER BEHIND ME. I DID NOT NOTICE WHICH SYMBOLS, IF ANY, LIT UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. HAVING A VEHICLE SHUT DOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

WHEN STARTING THE CAR ON A COLD START, THE TAIL PIPE EMISSION (GAS AND CARBON VAPORS) SURROUND THE VEHICLE AND ENTER THE CAR CABIN THROUGH THE AIR VENTS. (COMES UP THROUGH THE HOOD OF THE CAR) I BELIEVE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS LOCATED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT JUST UNDER THE VENTILATION SYSTEM.. THEY CHECKED TO SEE IF ALL PARTS HAD A TIGHT FIT AND THE SALES MANAGER BELIEVES THERE'S NOT A DEFECT.. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER IN JANUARY 2010. THE CERAMIC BRAKES BEGAN SQUEAKING IN APRIL 2010. IT OCCURS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 5 MINUTES AND THE BRAKES HAVE "HEATED" UP. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO 3 DIFFERENT PLACES OVER 6 VISITS AND DURING EACH OIL CHANGE AND THE SAME RESULTS ARE: YOUR BRAKES ARE GOOD, NO REPLACEMENT NEEDED, WE REMOVED SOME DUST (IN 2 CASES, THE REMOVED SOME TYPE OF FLUID) AND YOUR BRAKES ARE FINE. NO ONE WOULD REPLACE THEM WHILE THEY WERE UNDER THE 12K MILE WARRANTY AND NOW, I CURRENTLY SIT AT 15K -- WITH THESE ANNOYING, HIGH PITCHED, SQUEALLY BRAKES. PLEASE LOOK INTO OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH CHALLENGERS (2010) AND BRAKE PROBLEMS. THANK YOU. *TR

HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR APPROX. 1.5 HOURS, APPROACHED A RED LIGHT AND TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME HAD STOPPED ABRUPTLY FORCING ME TO MAKE A FAST STOP. NOT A FULL FORCE STOP BUT A QUICK REACTION/SUDDEN STOP. THEN MY CAR STALLED OUT AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE CAR. IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. I PUT IT IN DRIVE BUT IT HESITATED TO MOVE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3-5 SECONDS, THEN TOOK OFF. THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 2000 MILES ON IT. CURRENTLY IT HAS ALMOST 3000 MILES. THIS HAD HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE THIS INCIDENT ALSO AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO THE STREET I LIVE ON. SAME THING, CAR RESTARTED RIGHT UP. THAT WAS WITH ABOUT 1000 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY CAN DETECT SOMETHING. HOWEVER, I'VE READ ON SOME FORUMS THAT IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO THESE CARS QUITE A BIT IN AUTOMATICS 5.7 AND 6.1 MOTORS. MY FEAR IS THAT ME OR A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY, AS WELL AS SOME UNSUSPECTING OTHER DRIVER WILL RUN INTO EITHER MY BACK END OR FROM THE SIDE IF STALLS AGAIN WHILE MAKING A TURN ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
