One day out of the blue the windshield wiper would just start shooting water out from the fluid compartment while driving. Now it only activates when the car is starting.

Fluctuating Speedometer dropping from driving speed to zero once the engine warms up. Especially bad at highway speed. When speedometer drops suddenly the brake light, ABS light and driver seat belt warning light flash on then off. Also hear a clicking noise from the gear shift when the speedometer fluctuates. Issue has been continual since beginning in January.

THE WINDOW HAS SMART GLASS. THERE IS A SENSOR IN THE DOOR WHICH ALLOWS THE WINDOW TO AUTOMATICALLY SLIDE UP OR DOWN ABOUT 1\4 OF AN INCH SO THE DOOR CLOSES COMPLETELY. ABOUT 4 DAYS AGO THE WINDOW BEGAN SLIDING UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS ACTING UP DUE TO AN OLD BATTERY SO I BOUGHT A NEW ONE BUT THE WINDOW STILL SLIDES UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN CONSTANTLY BUT ONLY WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. I HAVE TO LEAVE THE WINDOW ROLLED DOWN A FEW INCHES TO MAKE IT STOP. I HAVE READ REVIEWS WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH SOME OLDER MODELS AND EVEN AFTER REPLACING THEIR WINDOW SENSOR THE SAME PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED.

I bought this vehicle after only having 28,000 miles on it required the water pump to be replaced. That should not be the case. The vehicle started running hot again after having the original water pump replaced about a year ago. At this point I had only put an additional 12,000 miles on the vehicle. Now the company that put the water pump on is saying I need a new engine on a vehicle that only has 40,000 miles on it. This should not be the case and I'd like the NHTSA look into this as a faulty engine from the manufacturer.

MY 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER OVER HEATED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I PULLED OVER AND FILLED THE RESERVOIR WITH ANTIFREEZE. I DROVE LESS THAN A MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND IT OVER HEATED AGAIN.WHEN I CHECKED THE RESERVOIR IT WAS EMPTY. SO I PULLED OVER AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO THE MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT I NEED TO HAVE THE OIL FILTER/ OIL COOLER ADAPTER HOUSING, INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED. THIS WILL COST ME $788. THE PART I NEED IS ON BACK ORDER FROM THE MANUFACTURER. IN FACT THERE ARE OVER 34,000 OF THIS PARTICULAR PART ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A COMMON ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER, JEEP, AND DODGE CARS. HE WAS SHOCKED THAT THIS PART HAD NOT BEEN RECALLED YET. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN THIS PART IS RECALLED. IF I PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS VERY COMMON ENGINE ISSUE, WILL I GET REIMBURSED ONCE IT IS RECALLED?

STEERING

Steering wheel locks up at while driving making it very hard to turn. The dealerships, wants $200/300 for a diagnostic fee and $3k to repair it. This has been reported for years now as you can se with the other complaints. Dealerships must be held accountable for such safety hazards. Thousands of these cars are on the road and millions of lives are in danger. You are our voice please speak up for the consumer. Thanks

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated that there was an abnormal sound coming from the steering wheel. The steering wheel felt loosened at one moment and then grabbed the next. The warning light that referred to the vehicle's ability to steer with the road conditions may be compromised. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 74,000. Consumer stated her car was not part of a recall.

DRIVING MY 2014 DODGE CHARGER CAR AND THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING CAUSE MY STEERING HARD TO TURN. WITH NO WARRANT. GOOD THING I WAS NOT ON I-10 HWY. I WAS ON THE STREET.I COULD HAVE BEEN KILL. I ALMOST HIT A CAR. THINKING IT WAS GOING TO GO AWAY BECAUSE IT WAS WORKING FINE. THEN THE DEALER SAID THE POWER STEERING NEED CHANGING. THOUSAND OF PEOPLE IS HAVING THAT SAME PROBLEM.
Mar 29, 2021
ISSUE STARTED WITH POWER STEERING GOING OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS IN 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER ONLY 38,000 MILES (HAPPENED TWICE) THEN BEFORE IT COULD GET SERVICED POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITH SERVICE LIGHT ON (POWER STEERING RESUMED IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE, SERVICE LIGHT WENT OUT ALSO). I WAS IN A DRIVE THRU LANE, AS I LEFT IT AND APPROACHED ROAD TO TURN RIGHT ON A 45 MPH RD IS WHEN THE STEERING WENT OUT FOR THE 5 MINUTES. REALLY DANGEROUS, SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR FREE REPAIR
Aug 05, 2020
THE POWER STEERING FLUID EVAPORATES IN THE RESERVOIR (THE DODGE DEALER TOLD ME THIS AFTER I HAD THE FLUID CHECKED AND FILLED IN 2018 BECAUSE OF STEERING PROBLEM) AND CAUSES THE STEERING TO BECOME VERY RIGID WITH QUICK TURNING. I HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN QUICK RIGHT TURN TO AVOID A CAR IN FRONT OF ME (LOCAL STREET) AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN AS I NEEDED. THE STEERING GROANED. THE STEERING FELT VERY DANGEROUS AND THIS WAS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED. I AM HAVING IT SERVICED THIS WEEK AGAIN TO CHECK THE STEERING FLUID.*DT THE CONSUMER HAD A SECOND OPINON WHO ADVISED THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING. *JS

MY 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER DIES WHEN I'M DRIVING IT. THE MOST RECENT WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWNHILL ON A WINDING MOUNTAIN ROAD. IT DIED, AND THERE WAS NO PLACE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. WHEN IT DIES, THE LIGHTS, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ALL QUIT. VERY DANGEROUS!!! THE DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET, AND DODGE IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX THIS. LIKE ME, OTHERS HAVE TAKEN THEIR CARS TO DEALERS, AND THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG! DODGE NEEDS TO GET BUSY AND FIX THIS MOST DANGEROUS DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *JS

There is a fuel leak in the vehicle.

The Evaporative Canister was recalled for Dodge Challenger 2014 in 2021. The car was taken to the Chrysler Dodge Dealership and they confirmed the repair. November 2023 the engine light came on. Another mechanic completed a smoke test and determined the evaporative canister to be faulty. Both Chrysler Dodge Dealership and Chrysler Corporate office refused to remedy the issue, despite this being a recall. A faulty evaporative canister is a safety issue due to emitting additional pollution and adding to the green house effect.

On 2/25/23 we started noticing the smell of gasoline around the 2014 dodge challenger, so we stated looking around the gas cap and down around the gas tank and noticed a small few drops of gasoline on the ground near the gas tank. But Didn't notice exactly where the leak was coming from the tank or around the tank. So keep an eye out over the next week then we started noticing a bigger drip mark. We are not driving the vehicle due to leak from gas tank for fear of explosion and fire. We sent the car to our mechanics to check it out . He said the tank was leaking due to being warped, this was not the first time he had seen this problem in the 2014 dodge challengers. He said we will need to replace the tank. We are very concerned with this problem, we enjoy our dodge and are considering buy a new one when the time comes, but will have to reconsider with this type of problem looming. So we parked the car outside and away from the house for fear of fire danger.

WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES WE NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR INSIDE AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. SUSPECTING THAT THE FUEL ODOR WAS RELATED TO THE UB4 RECALL FOR THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CANISTER WE TOOK TO VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER SHIP. THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND TO BE A CRACKED PLASTIC FITTING THAT CONNECTS THE FUEL FILL TUBE WITH THE FUEL TANK. THE REMEDY BEING REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK AT A COST OF OVER $2600. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED OR IN AN ACCIDENT SO, IT IS MY OPINION THAT THE FUEL TANK AND FILL TUBE ARE A POOR DESIGN AND COULD FAIL CAUSING EXTREME HARM. THE DEALERSHIP DID TAKE PHOTOS OF THE CRACKED PART BUT I DO NOT HAVE COPIES OF THEM. THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED AT CHAPMAN CHRYSLER JEEP, LOCATED AT 930 AUTO SHOW DRIVE, HENDERSON NV 89014. PHONE 702-558-3000.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RESOLVE RECALL UB4 FOR THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CANISTER SINCE 6/4/2020. SINCE THAT TIME I'VE BEEN "PUT ON AN WAITING LIST" FOR THE PART NEEDED TO RESOLVE THE RECALL. INITIALLY I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE 3 OR 4 MONTHS WAIT FOR MY PLACE IN ON THE LIST. I BEGAN FOLLOWING UP WITH THE DEALERSHIP ON 9/22/2020 AT WHICH TIME I WAS TOLD TO CALL BACK IN 2 WEEKS AND THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO ORDER THE PART AND SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. ON 10/2/2020 I CALLED AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. ON 10/3/2020 I CALLED THE NUMBER ON THE REMINDER CARD THAT I RECEIVED ON 102/2020 AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE IN SHORT SUPPLY AND "IT'S A MESS". I AGREE, I DON'T THINK CHRYSLER IS TAKING THIS RECALL SERIOUSLY BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T TAKE 4 MONTHS, AND COUNTING, TO RESOLVE AN ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I'VE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH IS CHAPMAN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP, AT 3175 E. SAHARA AVE, LAS VEGAS, NV 89104. PHONE 702-457-1061.

Was driving out of the parking lot when I started to drive I felt the car shifted then the engine light came on.Took it to auto zone the next day and they said it’s an incorrect gear rotation on their scanner. The car feels fine when I drive and it’s not shaking at all.

Oil housing adapter has failed and needs replacing. I went to two different shops (independent and dealership) that stated the part is made of plastic and has a tendency to fail. Yes my safety is at risk due to the fact the car can run hot at any given time. Yes the car has been inspected and no there hasn't been any warning lights. When I took the car in for another problem, the tech noticed that the part was cracked and needs replacing. I am not sure why Chrysler would make a plastic part this close to an engine and now it is causing problems for customers. The part is currently on backorder because so many have failed.

I was entering onto the highway and accelerating up to speed. When the car suddenly jerked multiple times, the vehicle did not accelerate, but the RPMs redlined. I then lost power while entering the highway. The vehicle would not restart, so I pulled onto the shoulder of the interstate. Almost being hit multiple times by other motor vehicles. I attempted to restart the car without any success. The vehicle was towed home to my residency, until I could have it towed to a mechanics shop for further diagnoise. The vehicle has not restarted in over 3 weeks now.

MY 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER WITH 50K MILES STARTED LEAKING OIL FROM THE HOUSING OIL FILTER WHICH IS MADE OUT OF CHEAP PLASTIC (68105583AF)
Mar 09, 2020
I PURCHASED MY 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON JANUARY 6TH 2014. THIS WAS MY DREAM CAR AND I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD AFFORD ONE. SO IT SADDENS ME TO HAVE TO GO TO THIS EXTREME TO GET SOME INVOLVEMENT ON A ISSUE THAT IS BEING IGNORED. MY FIRST SERVICE WAS ON FEBRUARY 11TH.I TOOK THE CAR IN BECAUSE OF ENGINE NOISE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER THINKING THAT WAS THE NOISE. ON MAY 31ST AT 5,000 MILES THE DEALER REPLACED THE LIFTERS ON THE CAR. THESE DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE AND IT WAS GETTING LOUDER. YOU CAN HEAR IT INSIDE THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALER AT AROUND 10,000 MILES WITH THE SAME NOISE COMPLAINT ON NOVEMBER 8TH. I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE AFTER NO RESOLUTION. THEY REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALER TO DO A DIAGNOSIS ON THE CAR. I PICKED THE CAR BACK UP ON NOVEMBER 11TH AND THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THIS NOISE IS AND I QUOTE "AGREE THAT NOISE IS LOUDER THAN A 15 MODEL BUT NOISE IS STILL THERE IN A 15 MODEL. COMMON NOISE THAT DIFFER SLIGHTLY FROM VEHICLE TO VEHICLE. REVIEWED TSB AND STAR CASE. LIFTERS HAD BEEN CHANGED BY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. CONDUCTED PROCEDURE IN STAR CASE [XXX] AND INSPECTED COMPONENTS FOR FAILURES LISTED IN STAR CASE [XXX]. CONTACTED STAR AND THERE REPLY WAS SLIGHT VALVE TRAIN NOISE/CLATTER IS CHARACTERISTIC OF HEMIS. IF LIKE VEHICLE HAS COMPARABLE NOISE LEVEL NO REPAIR TO PERFORM. NOISE MAY INCREASE SLIGHTLY WITH MILEAGE. I HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER RECENTLY TO HAVE THIS LOOKED INTO AGAIN WITH NO LUCK. THERE ARE 60+ OF THIS ISSUE DOCUMENTED WITH VIN #S ON A FORUM WHICH I AM A MEMBER OF AND WE ALL WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PROVIDE INFORMATION FOR.

BRAND NEW CAR DELIVERED HAD A TICKING SOUND ONLY WHILE DRIVING AT APROX 1800 RPM'S AND ABOVE.. COMPLAINED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD "NORMAL" FOR NEW CAR UNTIL ENGINE BREAK-IN. WEEKS LATER STAR CASE [XXX] PERFORMED ON CAR TO REMOVE TABS LEFT ON LIFTERS AT ENGINE ASSEMBLY. TABS REMOVED, NO RELIEF FROM TICKING. CHRYSLER REP AUTHORIZED DEALER TO CHANGE REGULAR OIL TO SRT PENZOIL 0W40 FULL SYNTHETIC WITH COST BEING BILLED TO CHRYSLER FOR NEXT 5 YEARS. TICKING IS STILL HEARD INSIDE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. DEALER REFUSES TO SERVICE CAR FOR "TICKING" ENGINE. I WAS TOLD DODGE WOULD NOT PAY FOR THEIR TIME TO CHECK THE CAR. I TOOK CAR OUT OF STATE TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO WAS NOT ABLE TO REPAIR TICKING PER DODGE. THIS IS NOT THE HEMI TICK. SOME CUSTOMERS ARE GETTING THEIR CARS REPAIRED, OTHERS ARE BEING BRUSHED OFF AS "NORMAL". SOME HAVE HAD ENGINES REPLACED AND ANOTHER HAS HAD HIS VEHICLE REPLACED. IF THIS IS "NORMAL" WHY AREN'T ALL 5.7 ENGINES DOING THIS? THEY'RE NOT! IT IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING TO LISTEN TO THE TICKATICKATICKA CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING. IT IS EMBARRASSING TO HAVE PASSENGER'S HEAR THE TICKING. I HAVE GATHERED ABOUT 60 OTHER HEMI 5.7 OWNERS TOGETHER ALL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY WON'T CHRYSLER/DODGE FIX OUR CARS? AN EMAIL FROM CHRYSLER STATED " "TO REVIEW OF OUR RECORDS INDICATES THAT THE CONDITION IN QUESTION IS A FUNCTION OF YOUR VEHICLE'S DESIGN AND IS NOT A DEFECT IN MATERIALS, WORKMANSHIP, MANUFACTURING, OR FACTORY PREPARATION. THESE ARE THE ONLY TYPES OF DEFECTS COVERED UNDER THE NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTIES." WHAT THEY ARE TELLING ME IS THAT THEY KNEW THIS PROBLEM EXISTED AND IT'S A FUNCTION OF MY VEHICLE'S DESIGN? THERE IS NOTHING IN ANY DOCUMENTS I HAVE THAT STATE THIS CAR WILL TICK AS IT DOES. I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IF TICKING WAS PART OF THE CAR'S DESIGN. FIX IT CHRYSLER!!!!! *TR

SEATS
5 complaints
THE PASSENGER SEAT IN THIS CAR STARTED SHEDDING BEARING COMPONENTS WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER WAS INFORMED, BUT EXPLAINED THAT THE SEAT WAS FUNCTIONING AND ADJUSTABLE AND SO NO REPAIR WAS DONE. LATER, JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, THE SEAT FAILED TO LATCH PROPERLY AND IS LOOSE BECAUSE THE BEARINGS ON SEAT TRACK HAVE FAILED TO STAY IN PLACE. THE SEAT IS NO LONGER SAFE TO SIT IN AND DOES NOT ADJUST OR LATCH PROPERLY. THE SEAT TRACK IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND THE PART IS NOT IN STOCK FROM LOCAL DEALER AND IS BACK ORDERED. THEY ARE NOT CERTAIN WHEN THEY CAN FIND A REPLACEMENT. THE PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT SAFE FOR AN OCCUPANT UNLESS REPAIRS ARE MADE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AS IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR IT BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.
Aug 12, 2020
A FEW MONTHS AGO I NOTICED THE PASSENGER SEAT WOULD SHAKE WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND ANY SPEED. THEN SUDDENLY THE SEAT STARTED HAVING TROUBLE SLIDING BACK AND FORTH WHEN TRYING TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE REAR SEAT. THEN THE SEAT STOPPED LOCKING IN PLACE AND MY HUSBAND OFTEN COMPLAINED THAT HE WAS FEELING THE SEAT SLIDE BACK AND FORTH. THEN FINALLY, ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO DURNING A RAIN STORM ON THE WAY TO WORK JUST ABOUT TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRAFFIC SUDDENLY STOPPED, I WAS UNABLE TO STOP STOPPING TIME AND I HAD A MINOR FENDER BENDER (10MPH OR LESS). THE SMALL IMPACT MADE THE PASSENGER SEAT MOVE ALL THE WAY FORWARD, THE SEATBELT MANAGED TO DIG INTO THE SEAT POSSIBLE STOPPING THE SEAT FROM GOING EVEN FURTHER BUT THEN AGAIN THE SEAT MIGHT HAVE JUST RAN OUT OF TRACK. WHATEVER THE CASE MIGHT HAVE BEEN, I CAN'T IMAGE THE INJURIES THIS MIGHT HAVE CAUSED IF I HAD A PASSENGER SITTING IN THIS SEAT THEY POSSIBLY WOULD HAVE FACE PLANTED ON THE DASHBOARD OR MUCH WORSE. MY CHALLENGER IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR A NON FUNCTIONING PASSENGER SEAT I HOPE THEY FIX THE SEAT BECAUSE I HONESTLY DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE SEAT.

POWER TRAIN

MY VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION RED LIGHT 7-3-20. MANAGING TO GET IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP I WAS TOLD MY TRANSMISSION IS NO GOOD. MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED IN 1-2020. MY CAR WAS INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSIS TEST WERE PERFORMED ON IT AND NEVER DETECTED ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION DURING 2019 OVER THREE DIFFERENT TIMES BECAUSE OF MY CONCERNS ABOUT HOW MY CAR WAS DRIVING. UNDER THE DEALERSHIP POSSESSION THEY FAILED TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEMS THAT EXISTED WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION NEVER MAKING THE APPROPRIATE REPAIRS OR REPLACING PARTS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I KNEW MY CAR WAS NOT DRIVING PROPERLY THAT'S WHY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EVERY TIME THEY FAILED TO DETECT THE PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION ALLEGING THAT THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS AND CLAIMS TO HAVE FIX PROBLEMS THEY DID SEE BUT NEVER ADDRESSING THE TRUE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION KEEPING ME UNINFORMED ABOUT THE CONDITIONS OF MY VEHICLE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY BY MISLEADING INFORMATION THAT'S INACCURATE. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO ASSIST ME WITH REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN UNDER WARRANTY WITH CONCERNS HOW THE CAR DRIVES. CHRYSLER CLAIMS HOW WERE THEY SUPPOSED TO KNOW ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION IF I DIDN'T TELL THEM BUT I'M NOT A MECHANIC AND I TOLD THEM IT WAS DRIVING AND SHIFTING PROPERLY WHAT ELSE AM I'M SUPPOSED TO DO BESIDES BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE INSPECTED. I HAVE RECORDS OF MY MAINTENANCE HISTORY FOR ALL OF 2019 SHOWING EACH TIME I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION AND THEY FAILED TO MAKE THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRS. THESE SAME RECORDS ARE AVAILABLE FOR CHRYSLER TO REVIEW AND THEY STILL DECIDED TO NOT ASSIST ME WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION THAT THEY FAILED TO REPLACE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY INTENTIONALLY IGNORED THE PROBLEMS AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT REPLACEMENT WAS NEEDED.*DT*JB

ON DRIVE HOME FROM PURCHASING VEHICLE WE NOTICED A LOUD CLUNKING IN THE REAR END WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. CALLED DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. SALES MANAGER SAID IT WAS NORMAL, THEY ALL DO THAT. TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE, TECH TEST DROVE IT AND SAID IT WAS NOT NORMAL & SEEMED TO BE PROBLEM IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. WHEN BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIRS THEY ONLY UPDATED COMPUTER SYSTEM. PROBLEM PERSISTED WITH LOUD CLUNK AND HARD SHIFTING AT ABOUT 1500 RPM AND SLOWING AND ENGAGING GAS AT LOWER SPEEDS, TYPICALLY BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. TOOK BACK IN, AFTER SOME TIME INVESTIGATING AND COMING UP WITH NO DIAGNOSIS THEY CONTACTED MANUFACTURERS "STAR CENTER" AND WERE ADVISED IT WAS A SHIFT BINDING PROBLEM IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THEY REPLACED THE VALVE BODY & RESET THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT ADAPTIVE. PROBLEM STILL PERSIST WHILE THE DEALERSHIP & MANUFACTURER INSISTS IT MEETS MANUFACTURER SPECS. CONCERN IS WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BINDING AND LOCKING UP CAN & MAY LOCK THE REAR END UP BRINGING THE CAR TO AN IMMEDIATE & ILL TIMED STOP IN TRAFFIC.

THE CAR WAS READING ABOUT 200 MILES TO EMPTY. THE FUEL SENSORS /PUMPS WERE NOT WORKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. AT IDLE IT RUNS ROUGH, WAS COMPARED TO LIKE VEHICLE THE IDLE IS NOT CORRECT. THE MILEAGE PER GALLON IS WAY UNDER THE ADVERTISED. ADVERTISED FUEL ECONOMY SHOWING 21 MPG COMBINED CITY/HWY. WE GET ABOUT 16 MPG CITY/HWY. WE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND NO ONE IS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUES AS THE CAR SEEMS TO BE A LEMON. WE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES NOW. WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW CAR SO THAT WE WOULDN'T HAVE ISSUES. VERY UPSET, FRUSTRATED, UNHAPPY. *TR

The ABS system has failed on my 2014 Dodge Challenger SXT and has caused major electrical issues within the vehicle. The ABS part/computer module (part number 68210118AB) has been on back order for months with no estimate of when the part will be available from a Dodge/Chrysler/Ram/Jeep dealership. I have been without my vehicle for 4 months because nobody has this part available. This is a major issue affecting many vehicles under Dodge/Chrysler/Ram/Jeep. My safety was at risk because while I was driving the vehicle, every single light on my dashboard appeared and my brakes stopped working. Thankfully I was leaving my neighborhood and was only going 15MPH. The key fob is not detectable, the windows will not roll up, and the vehicle cannot hold a charge while in drive. There was an ABS warning lamp on prior to this all happening.

THE FOLLOWING OCCURRED DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS OVER A PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS WITH WARNING LIGHTS ON: VEHICLE DISPLAYED ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS SIMULTANEOUSLY. THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR, AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT STATED THE COMPUTER SENSED BRAKE MALFUNCTION AND CAUSED A "LIMP MODE" CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION NOT TO SHIFT. THIS IS SO THE CAR WOULD NOT REACH NORMAL SPEEDS BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE MALFUNCTIONING. DEALER SHOP REPORTS SPEED SENSORS ON BRAKES FAILED DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT. THIS IS ODD BECAUSE INVOICE REPORTS THE REAR SENSORS FAILED WHEN NORMALLY THE MAJORITY OF BRAKING, PRODUCING HEAT, IS FROM THE FRONT BRAKES. RESULTING REPAIRS INCLUDED REPLACING BOTH FRONT ROTORS AND LEFT FRONT CALIPER AND BOTH REAR SPEED SENSORS, AND FLUSHING FLUID ALL DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT. THIS IS A CONTRADICTION THAT THEY REPORT THE REAR SPEED SENSORS FAILED. PERHAPS A CLERICAL ERROR. ALL IS DOCUMENTED ON ED VOLYES CHRYSLER DODGE DEALERSHIP SERVICE INVOICE # 883127, IN MARIETTA, GA. SEARCHING THE INTERNET SHOWS NUMEROUS BRAKE FAILURE STORIES DUE TO SPEED SENSORS IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR. SOME ARE EASILY "NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES". I CAN ONLY HOPE THEY FILED NHTSA REPORTS AS WELL. FINAL SYSTEMS FAILURE OCCURRED ON MAY 27TH. WE'VE HAD LENGTHY EXPERIENCE WITH MUCH OLDER ANTILOCK CARS OF OTHER MAKES WITH NO HINT OF FAILURE LIKE THIS ! I FAIL TO SEE WHY A CRITICAL FAILURE SUCH AS THIS WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE ON ANY SAFETY STANDARDS.

I PARKED MY CAR IN BACK ROW OF A PARKING LOT TO AVOID DINGS. SET PARKING BRAKE. APPROXIMATELY 1 HR LATER MY CAR WAS SEEN ROLLING ACROSS PARKING LOT AND IMPACTED ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. I WENT TO DEALER WHO AFTER I EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPEN SAID HE SAW NO RECALLS AND WOULD NOT COVER. I THEN CALLED DODGE SRT AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD TRANSPIRED. ON HOLD 2 SEPARATE TIMES . DODGE SRT PREMIUM ISSUED ME A CASE# OF 34483211 ON JUNE 6 2018 AND ASKED ME TO BRING CAR INTO DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. ONCE CAR WAS AT DEALERSHIP THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED AND I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHY THE BRAKE CAME OUT OF ADJUSTMENT WHILE PARKING BRAKE WAS SET, BUT HAD NO EXPLANATION BEYOND THAT. I AGAIN EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL HAVING OWNED NUMEROUS DODGES OVER THE LAST 5 YEARSI THAT I COULD NOT EXCEPT THAT AND DODGE AGREED AND SAID THAT THIS WAS MOVING UP TO SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS, AND SOMEONE WOULD BE IN CONTACT. THE INSPECTION WAS DONE LAST TUESDAY THE 19TH THE INSPECTOR INFORMED ME HIS INSPECTION WAS COMPLETE AND I COULD PICK UP MY CAR. HE ASSURED ME THE BRAKE WAS WORKING AND THAT I COULD BRING IT HOME AND WAIT FOR THE INVESTIGATION BEFORE REPAIRING THE BUMPER AND GRILLE. I ARRIVED LAST WEDS TO GET MY CAR AND WAS TOLD UNLESS I PAY THE REPAIR BILL I WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED MY CAR BACK. I HAVE SINCE CALLED DODGE 2 MORE TIMES AND I AM TOLD THIS IS A SEALED FILE AND THEY CAN NOT TELL ME ANYTHING AND HAVE NO PERSON I CAN CONTACT TO RESOLVE THIS. MY COLLECTOR CAR IS CURRENTLY STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP OUTSIDE IN A PARKING LOT EXPOSED TO WEATHER AND WHO KNOWS WHAT, AND I STILL HAVE NO RESPONSE FROM DODGE OTHER THAT THIS IS UNDER SPECIAL INVESTIGATION AND THEY WILL CONTACT ME. I DO NOT HAVE ANY PAPERWORK FROM THE INSPECTORS REPORT AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULD ONLY GIVE ME THE BILL THEY SAY I AM TO PAY BECAUSE THE CASE# IS NOT SHOWING UP ON FILE DUE TO BEING SEALED.

On August 7, 2025, at approximately 11:30 PM, my 2014 Dodge Challenger caught fire in the trunk area where the battery is located. I had just parked at my location and was about to get out of the car when I noticed a strong burning smell and smoke coming from the rear. Flames were visible inside the trunk. The fire damaged the trunk interior, wiring, and surrounding components, but the battery still functioned afterward. There were no warning lights or prior issues before the incident. This poses a serious safety hazard and could have caused injury or further damage if it had occurred while driving.

UPON PARKING, I REVERSED TO ALIGN BETTER, AND THE THROTTLE WENT OUT AGAIN ALONG WITH HORN GOING OFF AND THE WINDOWS GOING UP AND DOWN. IN THIS TIME ALL LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON DASH. IT WAS TAKEN TO MECHANIC, WHO WORKED FOR DODGE FOR 14 YEARS AND HE SAID THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY CHYSLER, DODGE, AND JEEP VEHICLES. HE IS REPLACING THE LIPM TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED IN MANY OTHER MOPAR VEHICLES AND IS UNACCEPTABLE AS THIS IS MY TEENAGE'S CAR. I POS TO THE CEO OF DODGE TO PUT HIS CHILD BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS CAR. WHAT IF THIS TIPM BURNS/MELTS THE BOARD AGAIN? NO WARNING, MY CHILD WAS ON WAY TO WORK ON A BUSY ROAD, SPEED LIMIT 55MPH AND IT A GAS STATION WAS NOT TO HER RIGHT, WHO KNOWS WHAT THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO AND THERE WAS NO SHOULDER EITHER.

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

THE LAST TIME I CALLED ON 6/22/16 I HAD TO LEAVE A MESSAGE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, THAT HAS STILL NOT RETURNED MY CALL. I'M GETTING THE RUN AROUND AT THIS DEALERSHIP AND FEEL AS IF MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS IS NOT IMPORTANT TO THEM. I WOULD THINK SOMETHING AS SERIOUS AS MY ALTERNATOR FAILING CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO SHUTDOWN WHILE I'M DRIVING OR AN UNDER HOOD ELECTRICAL FIRE WOULD BE OF CONCERN BUT APPARENTLY IT ISN'T TO SOUTH POINTE.

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

I AM WANTING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW LONG THIS PART IS TAKING TO FIX THE RECALL P60 ALTERNATOR PROBLEM. CHRYSLER KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM JULY LAST YEAR, FINALLY ISSUED A RECALL END OF NOVEMBER AND STATES THAT THERE IS NO PART TO FIX AT CURRENT TIME. MY CHALLENGER IS AN EVERYDAY DRIVER. I DRIVE ON INTERSTATES AND HWYS EVERYDAY. KNOWING MY CAR COULD STALL AT ANYTIME WITHOUT WARNING ISN'T A GOOD FEELING TO HAVE EVERYDAY. THIS COULD CAUSE INJURIES OR EVEN WORSE FATALITIES ON THE INTERSTATES IF THIS OCCURS. I THINK MANUFACTURER HAS HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO GET A PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY NOW. I HAVE TRIED CALLING THE HOTLINE NUMBER ON THE RECALL AND THEY JUST SAY THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. I'M SORRY BUT IF THIS IS SOMETHING THEY MAKE EVERYDAY IN A PLANT THEY SHOULD OF ALREADY HAD THE PART OR THE ALTERNATOR TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON THIS PART IS TAKING SO LONG TO GET. *TR
