The shifter module that was replaced under recall S27/NHTSA 16V-240 in August of 2016 started shifting itself into sport mode automatically and without warning in November of 2022. I took my car to James River Chrysler Dodge in Ozark, Mo in November to have the shifter module replaced. The dealership could not find a new Mopar shifter module because Chrysler stopped making them. There is no after market shifter modules available for this specific shifter module so James River Chrysler placed a used shifter module in my car. The used shifter module is automatically shifting the car into a lower sports mode gear without warning also which is a safety hazard for me, my family, and other individuals who are traveling in a proximity around me. I cannot purchase a new Mopar or after market shifter module for my car because no one is manufacturing this part. I want to report this safety hazard because there are numerous Dodge Chargers on the road that will potentially have the same situation as me in the very near future. Can Chrysler be held accountable to manufacture the shifter module to keep everyone safe on the roads? Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

STARTED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. WHEN GOING FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR CAR RPM WOULD SPIKE HIGH THEN VIOLENTLY SHIFT GEARS. PAST FEW MONTHS IT'S STARTING TO DO IT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR ALSO. ALSO SOMETIMES WILL NOT DOWN SHIFT TO FIRST GEAR AFTER COMING TO COMPLETE STOP. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WILL START OFF IN SECOND GEAR WILL NOT SHIFT FROM 3RD TO 4TH AT ALL AND WILL NOT LET YOU SHIFT MANUALLY. HAVE TO PULL OVER PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN CAR OFF. THIS HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM IN THE PAST BUT IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND DODGE REALLY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO MAKING THINGS RIGHT.

A few days later I get a call saying that the airbag inflator is badly damaged and wanted me to pay $1100 for it when it’s a free recall. And I declined the offer for it and picked it up the next day and left.

While driving on the interstate at a high rate of speed the MDS engaged and suddenly, the engine dies. I am unable to accelerate and have to coast across 3 lanes of traffic to reach the emergency lane. The timing chain tensioner and timing chain guides had broken into multiple pieces and the timing chain was also broken. The failure of the timing components resulted in warped values, bent push rods and catastrophic engine failure. This left me sitting in my car on the side of the interstate for several hours in the dark. There were no warning lamps or any problems with how the engine had operated before it suddenly died. All parts that have been removed from the car have been kept for inspection. There is a recall for the same OEM timing components failing and causing sudden engine failure for 2009-2012 Dodge Chargers. Dodge used the same timing tensioner, timing arm guide, and timing chains in Chargers built from 2009 to 2019. Why would the recall be extended to all years that used these parts. If they had recalled all the years those parts were used my car engine would not quit suddenly at 80mph and I have to coast across three lanes of traffic or sit in the emergency for hours waiting on a ride. .

STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS AND BLUETOOTH HANDS FREE CONNECTIVITY HAVE FAILED ON THIS VEHICLE REQUIRING $700 REPAIR INCLUDING A NEW BLUETOOTH MODULE. THE VEHICLE CAN NO LONGER SUPPORT THE HANDS FREE SAFETY FEATURES THAT ARE ESSENTIAL FOR MOBILITY CONNECTIVITY AND SAFETY DURING PHONE CALLS. USERS ARE UNABLE TO REBOOT RADIO DEVICES ON THIS VEHICLE REQUIRING DEALER VISIT FOR DIAGNOSIS. DIAGNOSIS INDICATES FAILURE OF BLUETOOTH MODULE LOCATED NEAR STEERING WHEEL. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR DODGE BIASED ON INFO BOARDS, INSTALL VIDEOS AND OEM PARTS BEING SOLD TO REPAIR THIS. I HAVE VEHICLES TWICE THE AGE OF THIS DODGE WITH BLUETOOTH STILL ACTIVE SO THIS FEELS LIKE A PREMATURE PARTS FAILURE THAT IS PUTTING MY TEEN DRIVER AT RISK UNTIL REPAIRED DUE TO LACK OF HANDS FREE CONNECTIVITY.

DRIVER SEAT BELT LATCH DIFFICULT TO DISENGAGE COMPLETELY. ONLY WAY TO DISENGAGE IS BY JAMMING THE LATCH IN, WITH FORCE, WHILE HOLDING THE PUSH BUTTON DOWN. THIS ALLOWS LATCH TO FULLY ENGAGE, AND RETRY THE PUSH BUTTON. THREE TO FIVE ATTEMPTS WILL RELEASE LATCH MECHANISM. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY PROBLEM FIRST STARTED DECEMBER 2016. STILL AWAITING RESPONSE.
Jan 03, 2020
SEAT BELT MALFUNCTION. DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT MALFUNCTIONS FROM TIME TO TIME, WHERE IT DOES NOT RELEASE WHEN PUSHED TO DISENGAGE. IT SEEMS TO GET STUCK IN THE MIDDLE, BUT THE BUTTON ALSO SOMEWHAT STUCK IN HALFWAY POSITION AND ONLY REMEDY IS TO PUSH THE BUCKLE BACK IN AND TRY TO TO PUSH TO RELEASE. MINIMUM OF 3 ATTEMPTS BEFORE IT ACTUALLY RELEASES. OBVIOUSLY IN A PARKED POSITION WHEN THIS OCCURS. BUT BESIDES FRUSTRATING, TIME CONSUMING...IT CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS WHEN PER SAY YOUR ALTERNATOR CATCHES FIRE AND YOU CANT SEEM TO UNBUCKLE YOUR SEATBELT...OR ANY TYOE OF ACCIDENT WHERE TAKING OFF YOUR SEAT BELT IS CRUCIAL TO YOUR SURVIVAL. OR ANOTHER EXAMPLE, UNABLE TO EXIT VEHICHLE WHEN INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY LAW INFORCMENT. ALTHOUGH QUITE EXTREME EXAMPLES, SUCH DO OCCUR.

Bad gas smell in car after I fill the tank
Jul 11, 2022
Gas tank and fuel pumps are located under passenger seat. The primary fuel pump is located on rear passenger side. I have been getting a gas smell after fueling. I thought maybe some gas spilled or it was my fuel filler neck so I had it checked perfectly fine. So I fueled again today and smelled gas. Lifted rear seat and noticed crack on black plastic cover. Removed and a pool of gas on top of driver side fuel pump. Researched online and found several charger challenger Chrysler owners with the same exact issues. I also found where a minor accident caused the death of 4 people car went up in flames. My kids sit in this back seat and it is very very alarming. I'm surprised that there is no recall on this as of yet. It's a well known issue amongst owner just Google fuel pooling on fuel pump. Shoot there's even a manufacturer making reinforced covers so this doesn't happen. What happens is the weight from sitting in the back seat smashes on the covers and the connectors causing the plastic fuel pump to crack after a while also possibly damaging the connectors. This is a very expensive fix it not deadly. The car almost becomes not drivable. I hope this gets addressed and all owners receive compensation.
Oct 13, 2021
I NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL IN MY CAR AFTER I FILL UP. AND EVERY TIME I FILLED THE TANK THE SMELL WOULD BE VERY STRONG INSIDE THE CAR. WELL AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS OF NOT FILLING UP, L RECENTLY HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND IT TURNS OUT THE PLASTIC FUEL PUMP CASING IS CRACKED AND GAS IS POOLING UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SIDE SIT.

COMPLETED THE RECALL ON CAMPAIGN 14V634000 , FOR THE ALTERNATOR. LESS THAN 2 WEEKS LATER, DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD, GOING 35MPH, THE VEHICLE LOOSES ALL POWER. AFTER GETTING IT TO A DEALERSHIP, NOW INFORMED THAT IT IS A BAD STARTER. THE ISSUES WITH THE CAR HAVE BEEN ALL ELECTRICAL: DOOR WINDOW BUTTON STOPPED WORKING, AIR CONDITIONING DOES NOT WORK (DEALER IS UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT PROBLEM). THESE ARE SIGNIFICANT ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH A 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE.

CURRENTLY HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. VEHICLE WAS ON RECALL FOR THE ALTERNATOR AND THE ESC LIGHT CAME ON. THE RECALL NOTICE STATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR COULD CAUSE THE ESC LIGHT TO COME ON BUT WHEN THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED THE LIGHT STAYED ON. CALL DODGE, THEY SAID THAT THE LIGHT SHOULD RESET ITSELF BUT IT DIDN'T. THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL; HOWEVER THIS PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE DEFAULTED ALTERNATOR WHICH LED TO THE OTHER PROBLEMS THAT I'M HAVING. THE ABS CAUSED THE MASTER CYLINDER TO GO OUT. NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ESC MODULE AND MASTER CYLINDER AT MY OWN EXPENSE.

PREMATURE WEAR OF BUSHINGS WHICH CAUSED REPLACEMENT OF COMPLETE SUSPENSION SYSTEM. $3000 LATER I HOPE MY VEHICLE WILL BE SAFE TO DRIVE AGAIN. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2015 AND HAVE ONLY PUT 17,000 MILES ON IT SINCE OWNING IT. VEHICLE STARTED JUST SUDDENLY MAKING VERY LOUD METAL ON METAL CLANKING SOUND AND LOTS OF VIBRATION. BUMPS IN ROAD MADE THE NOISE WORSE. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE UNTIL I COULD GET IT INTO DEALER WHEN THEY HAD AN APPOINTMENT AVAILABLE BECAUSE I DID NOT WANNA INJURE OURSELVES OR OTHERS. I HAVE READ IN OTHER FORUMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. IS THIS A DESIGN FLAW? IS THERE A SUSPENSION ISSUE? I AM SCARED OF MY CAR NOW.

I HAVE A 2013 DODGE CHARGER V6. AT AROUND 45K MILES I NOTICED A WOBBLY SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF MY CAR WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AT A SLOW SPEED. THE CAR DIDN'T FEEL OR DRIVE WOBBLY IT JUST SOUNDED WOBBLY. BECAUSE MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO PAY THE OUTRAGEOUS FEE THE DEALERSHIP WOULD CHARGE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SO I TOOK IT TO LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP INSTEAD. THEY TOLD ME THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS A BIT SURPRISED TO LEARN THIS BECAUSE BUSHINGS GOING OUT AT ONLY 45K MILES IS VERY PREMATURE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE TO FIND THAT LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. POLICE OFFICERS WHO DRIVE 2009 - 2014 DODGE CHARGERS ARE HAVING TO REPLACE THE TENSION STRUTS ON BOTH SIDES EVERY 15-20 THOUSAND MILES DUE THE BUSHINGS BEING TORN. CHRYSTLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF REPLACING THESE PARTS NOT THE CONSUMER.

P60 RECALL: YESTERDAY, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR 2013 DODGE CHARGER WHEN THE BATTERY LIKE CAME ON. NOTHING ELSE HAPPENED THEN, BUT ABOUT 15 SECONDS LATER - - EVERYTHING ON THE DASH STARTED FLASHING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON, THE CAR STARTED TO JERK AND THEN EVERYTHING DIED. HE MANAGED TO COAST INTO OUR DRIVEWAY - LUCKILY WAS HEADED HOME FROM WORK AND ONLY DOING 20MPH. NO WARNING - NO NOTHING. JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN - ENTIRE SYSTEM FAILURE. NO POWER STEERING OR ANYTHING. KIND OF A ELECTRICAL SMELL IN THE CAR. AT FIRST, WE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THE BATTERY WAS LOOSE OR SOMETHING OR BAD GROUND. CHECKED THAT. TRIED JUMPING - TERMINALS STARTED SMOKING. DID A SEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT OUR VIN IS SHOWING AN UNREPAIRED P60 RECALL. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING - NOW BEING TOLD THAT IT MAY BE THE P60 RECALL, BUT WE CAN'T KNOW UNTIL WE GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP - WHO - COINCIDENTALLY HAS NO APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE FOR A WEEK, DOES NOT PROVIDE LOANER CARS (OR FREE RENTAL), AND MAY OR MAY NOT COVER THE TOWING. I THEN CONTACTED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD BE THE RECALL, BUT THEY DO NOT PROVIDE RENTALS OR LOANERS. WHAT? SO - - THEY KNOW THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE IN 1/2 A MILLION VEHICLES, BUT THEY ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT OTHER THAN TO SWITCH THE PART OUT? VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE ON DODGE'S PART AND I WILL BE PURSUING THIS FURTHER, ONCE WE HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE PART NUMBER ON THE ALTERNATOR IS THE CORRECT PART NUMBER FOR THE RECALL. I AM NOT WAITING TO GET IT UP THERE FOR THEM TO MYSTERIOUSLY LOSE THE PART OR EVEN BETTER - PRETEND THAT IT ISN'T THE RIGHT PART NUMBER. I AM FEELING VERY UNTRUSTING OF DODGE RIGHT NOW!

THE TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS ANYONE COULD BE DRIVING AND HAVE THE AWD SYSTEM FAIL ON THEM AT ANY GIVEN POINT INTERMITTENTLY OR PERMANENTLY AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED MORE DEEPLY. *TR

Vehicle: 2013 Dodge Charger R/T I’m reaching out because my car has been showing signs that seem to match the symptoms of the V62 recall that FCA issued for the fuel pump relay issue. I have a 2013 Dodge Charger R/T with the 5.7L HEMI engine. Lately, the car has been having trouble starting, especially after it’s been driven and sits in the heat. Sometimes it cranks but won’t turn over, and other times it randomly dies or stalls when I’m coming to a stop. It recently sat for a couple of days and then started again like nothing happened. This keeps happening on and off, and I’ve noticed it’s worse when it’s really hot outside or after it’s been driving a lot I took it to the dealership and they said my specific VIN isn’t part of the recall, but I wanted to report this because it really seems like the same issue. From what I’ve read, the V62 recall had to do with a faulty fuel pump relay that’s built into the TIPM and causes exactly these kinds of problems. I understand not all vehicles were included, but since I’m having the same symptoms and my car matches the year, make, and engine that recall applied to, I think it’s something that should be looked into. I’d really appreciate it if this could be reviewed. I just want to make sure my vehicle is safe and functioning properly, especially since the stalling can be risky depending on where and when it happens.

WHILE DRIVING MY BATTERY LIGHT COME ON. THAT IS DUE TO ALTERNATOR MALFUNCTION. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPEN ALL MY ELECTRICAL DEVICES WHERE GOING ON AND OFF. AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND UNLOCKED DUE TO BEING A ELECTRONIC STEERING. WHAT I DID I TRIED TO PULL OVER AND STOP AT A SAFE PLACE AND WAITING AND THE VEHICLE WHEN BACK TO NORMAL MODE EXCEPT THE BATTERY LIGHT STAYED ON AND THE MESSAGE IN MY CLUSTER THAT SAID "BATTERY SAFE MODE". SO I WENT BACK HOME AND CHECKED THE VOLTAGE ON MY BATTERY THAT READ 11.8 TO 12.3. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL OF THE ALTERNATOR. THE DEALER REPLACED IT AND SAID IT'S OK NOW. I TOOK IT HOME AND ON THE WAY HOME IT HAPPEN AGAIN AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND GOT IT CHECKED. AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND CORROSION THE SIGNAL PLUG OF THE ALTERNATOR. THEY CLEANED IT AND SAID IT OK NOW. A WEEK PASSED BY AND IT HAPPEN AGAIN ALL ELECTRICAL STARTED TO TURN ON AND OFF INCLUDING THE STEERING LOCKING UP AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. AND I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN TO THE DEALER. AND NOW THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO CHARGE ME TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE IF IT'S NOT THE ALTERNATOR. CHARGING SYSTEM IS NOT PART OF THE ALTERNATOR AND THEY CHARGE FOR THAT ISSUE. ISN'T THE CHARGING SYSTEM PART OF THE ALTERNATOR LIKE THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR THAT IS IN THE PCM? IF THAT IS A BAD COMPONENT AND MAKING THE ALTERNATOR MALFUNCTION IT'S A PROBLEM FOR NOT MAKING ANY CURRENT. ALL THIS HAPPEN IN MOTION ON STREET AND ON HIGHWAY.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK, THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE INTO PARK, NOR WOULD THE CAR SHUT DOWN, UNTIL THE PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH WAS HELD DOWN FOR SEVERAL SECONDS.

IF I HIT A BUMP ON THE SIDE WHERE THE CLICKING OCCURS, THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL COME ON. NOT SURE IF THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE RECALL THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IN THE PAST, HOWEVER THERE WAS NO CLICKING/KNOCKING IN THE DASHBOARD PRIOR TO THE FIX, ONLY AIRBAG LIGHT. I JUST DON'T WANT IT TO BE AN AIRBAG ISSUE OR IT DEPLOYS WHILE I'M DRIVING. NOT ABLE TO PUT IN AN EXACT DATE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY, SO ONLY ENTERED TODAY'S DATE.

HEADLIGHT DEFECT. BRAND NEW VEHICLE. DRIVERS SIDE HIGH BEAM MUCH TOO HIGH. HIGH BEAM ONLY SERVES TO LIGHT TREES IN FRONT OF VEHICLE WHEN USED. REPORTED TO SELLING DEALER, AND LEFT CAR FOR SERVICE. SERVICE WRITER STATED THAT THEY HAD CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. BY "ADJUSTING THE HIGH BEAM". AFTER PICKING VEHICLE UP, AND TESTING THE HEADLIGHTS, I FOUND THAT WHAT HAD BEEN DONE IS ADJUSTING THE ENTIRE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT DOWN SUCH THAT THE LOW BEAM WAS UNUSABLE. IN EFFECT, WHAT THEY HAD DONE WAS ADJUSTED THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT SO THAT THE HEIGHT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE HIGH BEAM MATCHED THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HIGH BEAM. I RETURNED TO THE SERVICING DEALER, AND SHOWED THEM PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE LIGHT PATTERNS RESULTING FROM THEIR ADJUSTMENTS. THEY WERE AT A LOSS AS TO HOW TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEY STATE THAT THEY HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER IN AN EFFORT TO GET PERMISSION TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. UPON LAST CHECKING WITH DEALER, MANUFACTURER HAD NOT GIVEN PERMISSION TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET SHOW OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM FOR THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE TYPE. IT APPARENTLY CAN AFFECT EITHER THE DRIVER'S OR PASSENGER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT. *TR

The "Vehicle Not in Park" warning message is a safety feature designed to prevent accidents and injuries. It's a standard safety feature in most modern vehicles, including the Dodge Charger. Here's what it's intended to do: When the vehicle is shifted out of Park (P) and the transmission is not fully engaged, the system will display a "Vehicle Not in Park" warning message on the dashboard. This message is triggered by the vehicle's Transmission Control Module (TCM) or Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system, which monitors the vehicle's gear position and transmission status. The purpose of this warning is to alert the driver that the vehicle is not properly secured and may roll or move unexpectedly, potentially causing an accident or injury. This can happen when: The parking brake is not engaged: If the parking brake is not fully engaged or is released before shifting into gear, the system will detect this and display the warning message. The transmission is not fully engaged: If the transmission is not fully engaged in gear, such as when shifting from Park to Reverse or Drive, the system will detect this and display the warning message. The vehicle is not properly positioned: If the vehicle is not properly positioned on a level surface or on a slope, the system may detect this and display the warning message. To resolve the "Vehicle Not in Park" issue on your Dodge Charger: Ensure the parking brake is fully engaged. Check that the transmission is fully engaged in gear (e.g., Park, Reverse, Drive). Make sure the vehicle is properly positioned on a level surface or adjust it to a flat surface. The car is in park but will not turn off instead it runs until it decides it wants to turn off which can take several hours. This is a safety concern and issue that needs to resolved we pay to much money on these vehicles to deal with crappy problems due to bad mechanical issues and features

04/15/2015 THERE WAS A MUTUAL ACCIDENT OR FAULTY DUE TO SECOND DRIVER BEING BLINDED BY A TRUCK ON A MERGE INTO A DRIVE THRU BANKING AT PNC BANK N 87TH AND COTTAGE GROVE CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. I WAS SITTING IN THE TURN AND THE OTHER CAR HIT THE VEHICLE AT 45 MPH ON A 30 MPH SPEED LIMIT. THERE WAS MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE OTHER DRIVERS FRONT BUMPER, ALSO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO MINE. HOWEVER, THE ENTIRE BUMPER FELL OFF THE VEHICLE, THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 4500 DOLLARS WORTH OF REPAIRS TO BE DONE. AT ANY RATE THE BUMPER SHOULD HAVE SUSTAINED A DENT OR CRACK NOT THE ENTIRE BUMPER FALL OFF AND ALL PLASTIC PIECES HOLDING IT TOGETHER EITHER. WHAT IT IS WITH A 20K + CAR THAT A HIT EVEN AT THAT SPEED WOULD TAKE THE ENTIRE BUMPER OFF A CAR AND ALL PIECES HAVE TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE CONDENSER. THAT'S A REALLY BUM DEAL FOR A CAR THAT SUPPOSED TO BE SAFE. IT CAN'T HANDLE NOTHING. BUT AN OLDER CAR CAN PLEASE INVESTIGATE CAR STRUCTURE FOR DEFECTS. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS AND NOT FAIR AT ALL PLEASE ALLOW MANUFACTURE TO DO REPAIRS NOT FAIR AT ALL. WHO MAKES A BUMPER ON ANY CAR PLASTIC AND THE SCREWS TOO. PLEASE HELP NOT FAIR

ON APPROXIMATELY 4/16/2014 WHILE DRIVING MY GIRLFRIEND ATTEMPTED TO USE THE SEAT HEATER ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN PRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE 8.4 INCH SCREEN WE WERE ABLE TO HEAR A CLICK AND THEN THE FUNCTION WHICH AS ILLUMINATED ON THE SCREEN TURNED OFF. SHE TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THE HEATED SEAT WOULD NOT STAY ON. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK UP THIS ISSUE AND THE FOLLOWING WAS FOUND: "CS - B1EB2 - 1B R/F SEAT HEATER SENSOR-CIRCUIT RESISTANCE ABOVE THRESHOLD, INSPECTED HEATED SEAT MODULE CONNECTOR AND HEATED SEAT PAD CONNECTOR LOOKS OK, CHECKED FOR SHORT TO VOLTAGE CIRCUIT P688 OK, CHECKED CONTINUITY FROM MODULE TO CUSHION PAD CONNECTOR CIRCUIT P688 NO CONTINUITY, CHECKED SHORT TO GROUND, CIRCUIT IS SHORTED TO GROUND, REMOVED SEAT INSPECTED WIRING, FOUND WIRING GOT RUB THRU ON SEAT FRAME.

HAVING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH MY CHARGER WHICH ONLY HAS 7300 MILES ON IT. LIKE OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED, WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR WILL JUMP FORWARD. FEELS LIKE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING LATE. THEN WHEN DRIVING AND GETTING UP TO SPEED, THE RPMS WILL JUMP UP BUT THE CAR DOES NOT SPEED UP. THE LAST TIME THE RPMS INCREASED, I QUICKLY TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL, AND THE RPMS CONTINUED TO RISE TO 5K. BOTH ISSUES HAPPEN SPORADICALLY. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER 2X. FIRST TIME THEY HAD FOR 2 DAYS, REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION AND SAID THEY FIXED IT. I TOOK IT HOME OVER THE WEEKEND AND BOTH ISSUES STILL HAPPENED. TOOK CAR BACK IN ON MONDAY AND THIS TIME THEY HAD IT FOR 4 DAYS AND GAVE ME A RENTAL CAR. TODAY I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM (VALVE BODY SEPARATE PLATE PART) AND IS WORKING ON A FIX. THE PART/FIX WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE AT END OF MAY/EARLY JUNE, BUT SINCE IT'S ALREADY 6/5, OBVIOUSLY THAT DATE WAS NOT AN ACCURATE TIME FRAME. (STAR CASE NO. S1421000013 DATE 4/9/14) THE DEALERSHIP STATES THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX THIS UNTIL THE PART IS AVAILABLE. THEY COULD NOT LET ME KEEP THE RENTAL CAR (WARRANTY COVERAGE TIME MAX OUT), AND GAVE ME BACK MY CHARGER TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY CAN FIX IT. I WORRY ABOUT THE PROBLEMS AND WHAT ELSE COULD GO WRONG, OR IF THE RPMS WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH MY SPEED, CAUSE A WRECK, OR JUST CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE TRANS/ENGINE. NOT A HAPPY NEW CAR OWNER. *TR

MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER HAS POWER ADJUSTABLE PEDALS. AFTER OWNING THE CAR FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS, THE PEDALS BEGAN TO RANDOMLY MOVE ON THEIR OWN. AS I ALWAYS KEPT THE PEDALS IN THE FULLY RETRACTED POSITION, THIS MEANT THAT THE PEDALS WOULD MOVE TOWARDS ME AND IF MY FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE AS THE PEDALS MOVED TOWARDS ME. THE OCCURRENCES WERE RANDOM, SOMETIMES HAPPENING MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN A FEW MINUTES AND SOMETIMES AT LOW SPEEDS AND SOMETIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SOMETIMES IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN FOR SEVERAL DAYS, THEN START DOING IT AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A CHRYSLER DEALER IN EARLY JANUARY, 2014 AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T LOOK AT IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I DIDN'T TAKE IT BACK AND PUT IT ON MY TO-DO LIST AS THERE WERE A FEW OTHER THINGS ON THE CAR THAT I NEEDED FIXED AND WAS DOING A LOT OF TRAVELING. REGARDLESS, THE CONDITION STOPPED IN LATE MARCH AND DIDN'T OCCUR FOR OVER 3 WEEKS. AS IT WAS EXTREMELY COLD IN MICHIGAN, I THOUGHT THAT THE WEATHER MIGHT HAVE BEEN A CONTRIBUTOR TO THE PROBLEM. BUT THEN, IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN IN MID-APRIL WHEN IT WAS WARM, SOMETIMES 6-10 TIMES WITHIN SEVERAL MINUTES. WHEN TRYING TO MOVE THE PEDALS BACK TO THE FULLY RECESSED POSITION WITH THE SWITCH ON THE SIDE OF THE SEAT, IT WOULDN'T RESPOND AND I HAD TO MOVE THE SEAT BACK AND FORTH A FEW TIMES BEFORE THE PEDAL SWITCH WORKED. THERE ARE AND HAVEN'T BEEN ANY OBSTRUCTIONS EVEN CLOSE TO THE SWITCH AND THE CAR WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. I SUSPECT A SWITCH PROBLEM BUT DON'T KNOW YET. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AROUND 2AM ON TUESDAY MORNING 10/22/2013. I WAS JUST COMING OUT OF A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND IT JUST TURNED BACK TO 55MPH. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD SOMETHING IN THE FRONT END AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE AND IT STARTED MOVING BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT ME MOVING IT. I LOST ALL CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE AND IT SHOT ME OVER TOWARDS THE RIGHT AND SLAMMED ME INTO THE GUARDRAIL. I CONTINUED TO TRY TO MOVE THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO GET THE CAR AWAY FROM THE GUARDRAIL BUT THE WHOLE CAR SLID UP AGAINST THE GUARDRAIL BEFORE I COULD REGAIN CONTROL AND MOVE THE CAR AWAY FROM THE GUARDRAIL. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT ON 10/10/2013. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE IT FOR TWO FULL WEEKS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. THERE IS ALMOST $12,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE DONE TO THE CAR. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER GROUP REGARDING THIS AND THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE BUT ACCORDING TO THEM THERE WAS TOO MUCH DAMAGE TO TELL EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED SO THEY AREN'T WILLING TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED AND SAFE DRIVER, SOMEONE WHO HAS DRIVEN TRACTOR TRAILER OVER THE ROAD FOR 5 YEARS AND IF YOU LOOK AT MY DRIVING RECORD IT WOULD MATCH UP WITH WHAT I AM SAYING. THERE WAS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THAT VEHICLE THAT NIGHT AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. THE FACT THAT MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT THIS CAR LESS THAN TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT AND CHRYSLER WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT IS VERY DISHEARTENING. AND I NOW HAVE TO KEEP DRIVING THIS SAME CAR AND WORRY EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR
