The alternator failed while the vehicle was in operation and it stalled without warning on the highway at 55 mph. This left the car without power steering and a dangerous situation until I was able to get the car to the side of the road. I was left stranded halfway on/off the road until I could get a wrecker to come tow. Towed the vehicle to he nearest automotive service center where I was told the alternator failed. It also shorted out the battery. Alternator, battery, and tow was $1200.00. I see recalls on the internet for my year and model car for the alternator but when I enter my VIN, it does not show up for my individual car. Why is that?

Vehicle security light blinking. Car shutting off after starting. The wireless module does not recognize the key. Can’t drive vehicle

MY STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THE SAME DAY I WENT UP A STEEP DRIVEWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AS MY TIRES SLIPPED ON SOME SAND BUT THE LIGHT TURNED RIGHT OFF. THIS TIME IT HAS STAYED ON AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE MULTI-AXIS ACCELERATION SENSOR (AKA DYNAMIC SENSOR) INTERNAL FAILURE. FIRESTONE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PART GOING OUT NOR HAS MY MECHANIC. I AM HOPING SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THIS PART GETS RECALLED AS I DO BELIEVE THE STEEP DRIVEWAY CAUSED THIS ISSUE WHICH SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I AM ABLE TO STILL DRIVE MY CAR BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOW DISABLED AS THE CAR THINKS THE CAR CAN BE UNSTABLE/UNSAFE IN CRUISE CONTROL MODE.

STEERING
29 complaints
I was driving on Interstate 15 North when suddenly my power steering stopped working. I was unable to adequately turn the steering wheel to switch lanes while I was moving 65mph. The light "Service Power Steering" started blinking and I was virtually unable to turn my steering wheel left or right. I was stuck in a life-threatening situation. I immediately had to put my hazard lights on, brake, and fight for my life to try to turn the steering wheel so I could pull over. I almost impacted the barrier and several drivers during this. My mechanic states that my power steering pump failed, without any known cause.

Feb 10, 2023
BEGAN FEELING VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING WHEN OPERATING AT LOW SPEEDS, PARKING, ETC. REPAIR SHOP INDICATED AN ISSUE REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING GEAR AND POWER STEERING PUMP ASSEMBLY. BASED ON OTHER COMPLAINTS AND ONLINE RESEARCH, IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A PERVASIVE ISSUE, KNOWN BY DODGE, THAT CAN CAUSE STEERING FAILURE AND AUTO ACCIDENTS. AS SUCH, RECALL AND REPLACEMENT SHOULD BE WARRANTED.
Sep 28, 2021
The power steering pump was replaced because of on and off stiffness while driving. This was very frightening because the steering wheel will not release while turning. The dealership replaced the pump about 3 times and still cannot correct the problem.
Jun 30, 2021
MY STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT IS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO TURN AND MAKES SQUEALING NOISE WHEN TURNED. WHEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS TOLD TO ME THAT NOTHING WAS COMING UP WRONG WITH THE STEERING ON THE CPU. I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE STEERING PUMP GOES TO MAKE ANY FIXES. AFTER RESEARCH MANY OF OTHER 2014 DODGE CHARGER USERS HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THEIR STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKING OR LOSING ANY CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS.

My oil cooler is cracked and leaking tons of oil. Upon further research this is a very common problem in there engines because of faulty engine design. Why is there no recall for the faulty engine oil cooler in the Dodge Charger 2014. Most Dodge Chargers experience an oil leak from a cracked oil cooling unit but there has been no recall? An oil cooler is meant to last the entire life of a car how is Dodge allowed to get away with this when they have not addressed the faulty oil cooler assembly in any recalls?

BEFORE I TOOK IT IN, BEFORE THE TECHNICIAN REPLACE SPARK PLUGS MY CAR WAS GREAT NOW HE TELLING ME IT GOING TO COST 5K TO REPAIR IT

BETWEEN 30-60 MPH, AWD TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR KEPT DISENGAGING/ENGAGING WHILE DRIVING. SLIGHT JARRING OF CAR OCCURRED WHEN ACTION HAPPENED. IT WAS TAKEN TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN NOV 2019 AND A SOFTWARE UPGRADE WAS PERFORMED WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE. I HAD TO PAY ~$68 FOR THIS SERVICE. GOOGLE/WEB DISCUSSIONS SHOW THIS IS A BROAD ISSUE AMONG THE DODGE CHARGER AWD, AND SHOULD PROBABLY BE CONSIDERED A COMPANY-COVERED RECALL/REPAIR RATHER THAN A CHARGE BORNE BY CAR OWNER.

There is an issue with the AWD system. There is a clunking/shudder that occurs intermittently that sounds metallic. It is progressively getting worse over time. I took it to the Dodge dealership to get looked at but they spent about 30 minutes on it and told me they could not diagnose it. They said that it could be a CV shaft starting to fail but to wait it out and allow it to get worse. Since it is only happening in AWD, that does not seem practical. I am concerned that the AWD system will fail while I am driving in bad, snowy weather and will get into an accident due to this. I did say this to the dealer but they assured me that would not happen. I drive mostly highway miles and do not have another vehicle to drive. I will also note that I had to get the transmission replaced at 60k miles.

Took car in to South Point Dodge for a recall. The Canister Vapor was replaced,as I was smelling gas fumes inside the car. It was replaced as I was told. But I'm still smelling gas fumes. I called Dodge and explained that this was the problem, as I received the code: po456: Evap system small leak. Which is associated to the recall. Evap canister that was replaced. So I was told if I bring it back in, and the Evap canister is not the problem that I will be charged 250 dollars to have it looked at. If I'm getting a code that that there's a evap system small leak and I'm still smelling fumes, it's got to be that the replacement of the canister vapor wasn't properly replaced. So I'm wanting to have the recall looked at again without me being charged 250 dollars for a diagnosis test

The battery went dead and I put a new one in then a screen comes up and says wait for the vin to be verified but does nothing I think The PCM/ECU needs to be flashed to vin and it stopped communicating. I had to buy a new pcm but it’s not flashed to my vin and I saw there was a recall.

The inside door panels are warping exposing a large gaps, that can allow hair or fingers to get caught when raising or lowing a window. Nobody was hurt. But could be a potential problem for me or others. Also warping could put pressure on door lock pins, if the warping continues, this could slow the process of existing the vehicle or a safety concern if the lock pin does not allow the lock to close.

ENGINE
23 complaints
The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Charger. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was a ticking sound coming from the engine. Additionally, the vehicle was bucking, surging, hesitating, lost motive power, and had an engine misfire. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the failure was due to premature wear of internal components within the engine. Additionally, the rocker arms, lifters, and camshaft were faulty. The contact was informed that the engine had failed and needed to be replaced. The engine was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 206,000.
Sep 09, 2022
oil filter housing failed at 70,000 miles. The issue caused leaking oil to contaminate the environment and burn on the auto components that caused smoke and unsafe driving conditions. The oil filter housing failed and due to oil loss the check engine light came on. My repair mechanic said that this is a common issue and there is a limited stock of replacement parts due to the issue. Online research shows that Dodge stopped manufacturing of this part and only after market replacements are available.
Jun 07, 2022
PLASTIC OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS CAUSING MULTIPLE PERSISTENT LEAKS. OIL LEAKS ONTO MANIFOLD. REPLACEMENT PART WAS RECEIVED WITH HAIRLINE FRACTURE PRESENT AND OIL LEAK PERSISTS. MECHANIC CONTRACTED LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AND RECEIVED 45 DAY BACK ORDER ON THIS PART. I CALLED MYSELF AND WAS GIVEN NO ETA ON NEW STOCK.
Apr 23, 2021
I NOTICE OIL DRIPPING FROM UNDER THE CAR ON SUNDAY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON MONDAY MORNING AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ENGINE OIL COOLER AND FILTER HOUSING ADAPTER. I WAS TOLD IT IS VERY COMMON ON THE 2014 DODGE CHARGER AND THEY HAVE BEEN BACK ORDERED BUT I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE THEY JUST GOT A SHIPMENT IN SATURDAY. I WAS TOLD IT HAS BEEN LEAKING FOR A WHILE BEFORE I NOTICED IT DRIPPING FROM UNDER THE CAR. IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF THESE CARS WHY IS IT NOT RECALLED? I HAD TO PAY $900 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BROKE IF IT WAS MADE OUT OF THE RIGHT MATERIAL AND NOT PLASTIC.
Apr 19, 2021
RECENTLY MY CAR WAS FOUND TO HAVE AN OIL LEAK. IT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE HOUSING/COOLING UNIT FOR MY CAR. FROM DOING RESEARCH IT IS FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL 2014 DODGE VEHICLES. THIS IS CAUSING OIL TO POOL IN THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE. THIS IF THE OIL IS NOT CHECKED REGULARLY CAN CAUSE A MASSIVE MALFUNCTION OF THE ENGINE OR EVEN A VEHICLE FIRE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
9 complaints
The auxiliary fuel pump, located inside the passenger cabin under the right rear passenger seat, has been leaking fuel, leading to discoloration of the part and a strong scent of fuel inside the cabin. Additionally, a pool of gasoline sat atop the pump only separated by a thin plastic lid from the electrical cables leading to the battery in the vehicle's trunk. This gasoline could be ignited by the a spark or a short circuit. The Charger and Chrysler 300 from 2005 to 2023 has this design. I don't know if the auxiliary fuel pump cover is any more robust or fire suppressant than the 2014 model I possess. The dealer I took my vehicle to could not find the source of the leak and claimed to not being able to smell the obvious odor of gasoline permeating the vehicle cabin. I found out about it on You Tube, and then showed the obvious fuel link to the technician when I took the vehicle to them a 2nd time.

Two days ago my fuel pump stopped working. Upon inspection the top of the fuel pump had a pinhole on top from the metal connector inside getting to hot... Gas was spilling out under pressure and when the tank was full. I replaced the pump... The problem is the old pump shows burn marks on the inside from the original connection. And it got so hot it melted threw the top .. Please help me fix this issue as I am afraid of fire. Replacing the pump is not going to fix the problem with your connection on top being wired the way it is... I have read many reviews online of chargers and Chryslers having this same issue and I drive my family in this car. I can not be worried about the fuel pump arching and blowing the car up. Please help

The primary fuel pump (under the rear seat, driver's side) was leaking gas through the electrical connector. The electrical connector on the top of the fuel pump (exposed by removing the back seat and plastic cover), had two of the five metal pins where the plastic had melted allowing raw gas from the tank to leak through the connector. Gas would leak through connector when the tank was full of gas down to about 3/4 of a tank. The gas would collect on top of the fuel tank in the well created for the fuel pump and retaining ring - the gas leaked through at a sufficient rate that it would fill up the well and then dribble down on the ground underneath the car. The smell of gas in the car was horrendous, and when driven the gas would spread all over the rear underside of the gas tank and rear end of the car. There are many references to this issue on the web/YouTube for the Charger/300/etc - hard to believe it is not a safety recall especially since the leak is through an electrical connector that feeds power to the fuel pump!
Jan 02, 2022
THE DODGE CHARGER HAS A CRITICAL DESIGN FLAW ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP LOCATED BELOW THE DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER SEAT. THE FUEL PUMP HOUSING COVER IS PRONE TO CRACKING AND THUS RESULTS IN FUEL LEAKING OUTSIDE THE FUEL PUMP AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS. THE FUEL LEAKING WILL OCCUR REGARDLESS OF IF THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THE POORLY DESIGNED FUEL PUMP COVER DOES VERY LITTLE TO CONTAIN THE FUEL INSIDE THE FUEL PUMP AND CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE PETROL IS BEING LEAKED INTO MANY DIFFERENT AREAS THAT CAN EASILY RESULT IN VEHICLE FIRES AND DEATH. MY DODGE CHARGER IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND THIS FUEL LEAK HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH VEHICLE MAINTENANCE OR DRIVING HABITS. THE FUEL PUMP IS SIMPLY DESIGNED IN A RECKLESS MANNER WHICH HAS ALREADY RESULTED IN MULTIPLE VEHICLE FIRES AND DEATH IN DODGE CHARGERS AND DODGE CHALLENGERS. I URGE YOU TO PLEASE ACT SWIFTLY IN RECALLING AND RESOLVING THIS MATTER BEFORE MORE LIVES ARE LOST. *TR
May 18, 2020
WHEN FUELING VEHICLE, AT THE POINT THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TOPPED OFF, GAS STARTS LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE NEAR THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE. A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE FUMES CAN BE SMELLED INSIDE THE PASSENGER CABIN. OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY BEING FILLED.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 58 MPH AND POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETY OUT! NO WARNING AT ALL! DASH LIGHTS WENT CRAZY. WARNING LIGHTS: SERVICE SHIFTER, SERVICE POWER STEERING, AUTO PARK DISABLED, CHECK ENGINE, THEN DASH LIGHTS STARTED BLACKING COMPLETELY OUT. VERY DANGEROUS! I TOOK TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAYS THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAS BEEN FIRED. AFTER READING THE ALTENATOR RECALL, THIA EXPLAINED EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED! ALL RECALLS HAVE BEEN FIXED ON THIS VEHICLE. AFTER CONTACTING LOCAL DEALERSHIPS I LEARNED THAT THERE ARE 89 PEOPLE JUST IN MY AREA NEEDING THIS SAME PUMP AND IT IS ON BACK ORDER. THIS TELLS ME THAT THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! NOW $1800 TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH ALTENATOR RECALL COMPLETED. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR, CANT DRIVE,CANT AFFORD TO FIX, AND WONT SELL TO SOMEONE ELSE KNOWING HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. I CANT IMAGINE THAT WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS NOT AN ALL CONSUMING ISSUE AND PUTS MANY LIVES AT RISK

I AM JUST HAPPY MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT DRIVING WHEN IT HAPPENED, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC AS SHE HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVING JUST UNDER 2 YEARS. I HAVE LOOKED THIS UP AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. IT IS SO DANGEROUS WHEN THE STEERING GOES OUT, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
6 complaints
WHILE DRIVING, I CONDUCTED A NORMAL PASS ON A TWO LANE ROAD. WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATION PEDAL, THE CAR TOOK OFF AT A DRAMATIC PACE. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE WELL OVER 100 MPH. DRAGGING THE BRAKE KEPT THE CAR FROM CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE TO ITS FULL CAPACITY. SHIFTING IN NEUTRAL HAD NO EFFECT AS THE ENGINE MAINTAINED ITS FULL RPM. WHILE IN NEUTRAL, THE CAR'S COMPUTER WOULD NOT ALLOW THE ENGINE TO BE SHUT OFF DISPLAYING A MESSAGE THAT THE CAR HAD TO BE IN PARK BEFORE THAT WAS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN. PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, APPLIED FULL BRAKING, AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO A STANDSTILL AS THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN AT FULL RPM. SHIFTED TO PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I LET IT SIT FOR 10 MINUTES AND STARTED IT AGAIN. CAR PERFORMED NORMAL. DODGE HAS A KNOWN ISSUE/RECALL FOR THE SAME SITUATION WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL AND I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS PRESENT WHILE NOT USING CRUISE CONTROL AS WELL. LESS THAN A MONTH AGO, THE CAR WAS SERVICED AT THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER UNDER THE RECALL TO CORRECT THE CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE. *DSY

THE LED'S HAVE STARTED TO GO OUT (NOT ILLUMINATE) IN THE CENTER, DECK MOUNTED TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM AS IT PROVIDES REAR ILLUMINATION AT NIGHT. APPARENTLY, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE REAR LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (ST. CHARLES DODGE, 1611 E. MAIN ST, ST. CHARLES, IL) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

THE LED STOP LIGHTS ON ALL THE NEW VEHICLES ARE VERY, VERY BRIGHTS. WHEN DIRECTLY BEHIND ON AFTER DARK AT A STOP THE LIGHTS ARE SO BRIGHT THAT THEY HURT MY EYES, FORCING ME TO CLOSE MY EYES UNTIL THEY RELEASE THE BRAKE. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY MAKE/MODEL WITH THIS ISSUE: ALL NEW CARS WITH LED BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
Oct 20, 2014
THE NEW LINE OF DODGE CARS (CHALLENGER, DART, CHARGER) HAVE A LED RING OF LIGHTS AS THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS ON THE CARS. THEY ARE WAY TOO BRIGHT FOR TAIL LIGHTS (NOTICE I DIDN'T SAY BRAKE LIGHTS). THEY NEED TO BE CHANGED OUT WITH SOFTER/DIMMER LIGHTS. IT'S LIKE FOLLOWING SOMEONE WITH HIGH-BEAM TAIL LIGHTS. I HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE DODGE STOP DOING THIS, AND PREVENT OTHER AUTO MAKERS FROM INSTALLING BRIGHT LED LIGHTS ON THE REAR OF CARS. *TR

THE RIGHT REAR SUSPENSION TRAILING LINK THAT BOLTS TO THE SUB FRAME THE SUB FRAME MOUNTING BRACKET SHEARED OFF THE SUB FRAME. THIS CAR HAS WAS A RENTAL CAR BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. THE DATA RECORDED WAS RETRIEVED AND NOTHING SHOWS THIS WAS CAUSED BY ME. THE LEFT SIDE HAS VISIBLE WEAR AND STRESS IN THE FRAME, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR EVEN IF THIS CAR IS REPAIRED. THIS CAUSED A MINOR ACCIDENT MAKING ME SPIN WHEN IT SHEARED OFF. IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THE WELDING OF THIS PART.

TAKATA RECALL WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY STREETS THE OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY STARTED LEAKING OIL ALL THE WAY FROM THE TOP WHERE ITS LOCATED TO THE TRANSMISSION AND EXHAUST PIPES CAUSING A LOT OF SMOKE COME OUT BECAUSE THE OIL BURNIG HAD TO STOP VERY QUICKLY THINKING THE CAR WAS GETTING ON FIRE. AT FIRST DID NOT KNOW WHERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM AFTER INSPECTING I NOTICED IT WAS COMING OUT WHERE THE OIL COOLER ASSAMBLY IS.
Dec 22, 2017
THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE WAS COLD AND IT HAD BEEN SITTING IN A PARKING LOT FOR FOUR DAYS. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC FROM A TOLL BOOTH. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND IT LOST SPEED BUT THE RPMS WERE INCREASING. THIS WENT ON FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE SECONDS AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC. I DROVE FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES AT 70 MPH (AFTER CALLING A SERVICING DEALER WHO TOLD ME I WOULD BE OKAY DRIVING THE CAR UNLESS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH) THEN STOPPED FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. AT THE NEXT TWO TRAFFIC LIGHTS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITH CARS BACKED UP BEHIND ME AND HONKING. THE MPH WERE AT 15 BUT THE RPMS WERE AT 2200. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT FIVE SECONDS AT EACH LIGHT THEN HAPPENED AGAIN AS I TRIED TO MERGE ONTO ANOTHER HIGHWAY THAT WAS UNDER CONSTRUCTION WITH CONCRETE BARRIERS ON BOTH SIDES AND HAD NO WHERE FOR ME TO WAIT FOR ACCELERATION. THE SERVICING DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T GET MY CAR IN FOR 4 DAYS. TWO DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. THE NEXT DAY THE SERVICING DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THEY DROVE IT FOR THREE DAYS AND THEN GAVE IT BACK TO ME UNDIAGNOSED. THE NEXT DAY THEY SAID BRING IT BACK IN BECAUSE DODGE ENGINEERS READ THE COMPUTER CODE AND TOLD THEM TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICING DEALER DISCOVERED METAL SHAVINGS IN THE PAN WHILE REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICING DEALER DID NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED METAL SHAVINGS IN THE PAN BUT ONE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES TOLD ME ON THE SIDE THEY SEE THE PROBLEM A LOT AND DRIVERS WILL CALL BECAUSE THEY HEAR A LOUD BOOM FROM THE CAR .I AM A WEEK OUT WITH THE NEW TRANSMISSION AND STILL NOTICE IT DOES NOT UPSHIFT SMOOTHLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. NEITHER THE SERVICING DEALER OR THE SELLING DEALER WILL HELP ME WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

LOOKED UP MESSAGE ON DODGE CHARGER FORUM, REALIZED THAT MY VEHICLE FALLS WITHIN YEARS FOR RECALL, WITH 160 AMP ALTERNATOR, BUT MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL NOR HAVE I BEEN CONTACTED. PERHAPS IT, ALONG WITH OTHERS, SHOULD BE TO WARN OWNERS OF POTENTIAL ISSUES. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE MESSAGE TO INDICATE THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE SERVICED, ALTHOUGH TO MY UNDERSTANDING IT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF POWER TO THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.

At 65 mph with the adaptive cruse on, all of a sudden, the FCW light came on and almost rear ended the car in front of me. I lost antilock,cruse, and fcw. I also have less brake pedal. Took to Dodge dealer in Emporia Ks. Said anti-lock brake hydraulic control unit was bad. Part #68236997aa. Dodge discontinued and no aftermarket replacement. I am probably not the only person with this safety problem.
Aug 14, 2025
When attempting to apply brakes, the pedal sunk to the floor with no result. On subsequent attempts, the left front brake activated and locked up while there was no apparent effect on the other 3 wheels. The car veered to the left as a result of the one brake being applied, and began to travel down the road at an angle of about 45 degrees. Correction was required to steer out, the brake remained locked up and not responding to the pedal. Automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems did not activate and my vehicle collided with the one ahead. AWD seemed to activate just prior to the collision, which assisted in correcting the brake lockup. Inspection of the vehicle seems to indicate electrical issues caused a brake booster fault, and likely caused failure of the emergency braking systems to activate. These issues first appeared the day of the accident, no error messages or trouble codes were present. It appears the braking system is faulty, due to electronic controls, seemingly. The car is available for inspection. The left front rotor is scored deeply and the artifacts on the asphalt indicate that the left front tire was dragging/skidding up to the point of impact.

I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR, SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE STEERING WHEEL ROD/COLUMN COMPLETELY COME OUT IN MY LAP.. ONCE WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE ALREADY HAD IT FIXED BY MY CERTIFIED PREOWNED WARRANTY AND ONCE AGAIN IT HAS DONE IT. THIS TIME IT TOOK OFF MY WINDSHIELD WIPER LEVER, IT HAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED MY INTERIOR AND UNFORTUNATELY THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THAT WHICH IS NOT FAIR. REMEMBER THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN AND ROD IS VERY HEAVY AND DOES MUCH DAMAGE WHEN IT FALLS IN YOUR LAP WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER, IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, I HAVE ONLY SERVICED AND BOUGHT IT FROM A DODGE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR NOW HAS 69,000 MILES AND RECENTLY WAS FIXED OVER A MONTH AGO AND ISSUE STILL REMAINS. MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR OVER 20 DAYS I DID NOT GET A RENTAL VEHICLE AND IT WAS THE MOST PAIN I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED WHEN IT COMES TO DEALING WITH WARRANTEES AND DEALERSHIPS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE.

ALL DASH WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON. LOSS OF POWER STEERING TRANS SLIPPERY AND STICKING.
Apr 17, 2019
ON AUGUST 29TH 2016 I WAS RETURNING(DRIVING ON US20) HOME FROM SOME OFFICIAL BUSINESS, WHEN MY DASH STARTED FLASHING, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WOULD FLASH, THE SPEED DISPLAYED WOULD GO UP, AND DOWN , AND THE CAR STARTED CHANGING GEARS. THERE WAS A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM MY GEAR SHIFT, LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO SELECT GEAR. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT , AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE KEEP COMING UP AS WELL. I WOULD INTERMITTENLY LOSE POWER STEERING DURING THIS, AND POWER FROM THE ENGINE WOULD LAG ALSO. I HAVE A THREE MINUTE, AND THIRTY-FIVE SECOND VIDEO OF WHAT WAS OCCURING. I CONTACTED SOME MECHANIC FRIENDS THAT WORK ON INDIANA STATE POLICE CHARGERS, AND THEY THOUGHT IT COULD BE THE BATTERY SHORTING OUT. THE NEXT MORNING I REPLACED THE BATTERY, AND INSTALLED PROPERLY WITH POSITIVE POST FIRST. THIS SEEM TO RESOLVE THE DASH FLASHING SYMPTOMS, BUT I THEN HAD NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. I TOOK TO OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER IN LAGRANGE, IN THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS, AND DETERMINED THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING PUMP WAS NO GOOD. THE POWER STEERING PUMP WORKED PERFECTLY FINE WITH NO ISSUES AT ALL, EVER, BEFORE THESE ELECTRICAL ISSUES OCCURED. THIS VEHICLE IS USED TO TRANSPORT THE US CONGRESSMAN, WHEN HE IS IN THE DISTRICT ON OFFICIAL BUSINESS, AND WE NEED IT REPAIRED ASAP. IT IS MY OPINION, THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS DESTROYED BY THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES CONCERNING THE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. IT IS ALSO MY OPINION THAT FAC LLC SHOULD REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP AT NO COST PER THE CONSENT ORDER PERTAINING TO THIS RECALL. I AM TRYING TO GET THE VIDEO TO EMAIL, AT THIS POINT, THE VIDEO IS TO LONG TO EMAIL.

TODAY 11/17/2017 MY REPAIR BILL IS $350.00 DOLLARS + A CAR PAYMENT AND HOPEFULLY I CAN GET HOME WITH THE ALTERNATOR ISSUES. I'M TIRED OF PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE ANYWHERE I NEED TO GO. THIS DODGE BELONGS TO A FAMILY OF 4 INCLUDING MYSELF, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET SOMETHING DONE ASAP I THINK I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL VEHICLE AND I DON'T REALLY WANT TO TRADE IT JUST BECAUSE OF THE NO PARTS AVAILABLE, AS MY LUCK WOULD BE, THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE THE SAME MONTH AS I TRADED CARS.

I ALWAYS BRING MY CAR TO RANCHO CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE ON 8010 BALBOA AVENUE SAN DIEGO, CA 92111 REGARDING THE "BATTER SAVER MODE". I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS AND HAVE GONE IN SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY/ALTERNATOR AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD AND THE "BATTERY SAVER MODE" STILL COMES ON. THE ISSUE IS IF YOU TURN OFF THE CAR IT GOES AWAY. I WAS INFORMED TO BRING IT BACK IN IF THE "BATTERY SAVER MODE" COMES BACK ON BUT IF THE PLACE ISN'T OPENED THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO SO. I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE FIXED, MY CAR CUTS OFF AT TIMES WHEN I START IT AND DRIVE OFF IN THE MORNING WHEN IT'S COLDER AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS WHICH THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE CAR COMPANY AS WELL.

WHILE DRIVING ON A TOWN ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MPH, THE WARNING LIGHTS FOR THE ABS AND ESC SYSTEMS LIT. I SUBSEQUENTLY DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO NO LONGER FUNCTIONED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER SINCE THE VEHICLE RECENTLY HAD A RECALL PERFORMED FOR ALTERNATOR REPLACEMENT, AND SYMPTOMS INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL - CHRYSLER P60 / NHTSA 14V-634 - INDICATE THAT MODES OF FAILURE MAY INCLUDE DISABLING ABS AND ESC. CHRYSLER STATED THAT "SOMETIMES THEY MAY NEED TO DO THE RECALL AGAIN". BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER. DIAGNOSED AS A SENSOR FAILURE. I HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS.SERVICE WRITER STATED THAT THIS FAILURE HAPPENS ON THESE CARS QUITE FREQUENTLY, AND EVEN "GUESSED" CORRECTLY WHAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE THE TECH WORKED ON IT. ESC AND ABS ARE BOTH SIGNIFICANT SAFETY SYSTEMS.

TWO OF THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING WERE ON:ESC(ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL) AND ABS.I TOOK MY CAR FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD TO LEAVE IT FOR REPAIRS. AFTER FOUR DAYS I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL WHICH I GOT INFORMED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART WAS OUT OF STOCK AND IT NEED TO BE ORDER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR NEEDED REPAIRS IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE IT UNTIL THE PART ARRIVES.AFTER TWO WEEKS, I VISITED AGAIN THE DEALER AND THE PART WAS NOT THERE AND NOW AND I HAVE TO WAIT AND I ALSO NEEDED TO BE PLACE IN A WAITING LIST IN WHICH I WOULD HAVE NUMBER 254 (THOSE ARE THE AMOUNT OF CARS WHICH NEEDS TO REPLACED THE SAME PART). IN MY LAST VISITED TO THE DEALER I INFORMED THAT THE CAR IS WORSE BECAUSE NOW IT HAS STRANGE VIBRATION WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE AND MAKES NOISE. AFTER ALL THIS ISSUES IS VERY HARD FOR ME AND I CAN FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR.

When I bought the car all brake lights were on. I took it to Landers and they diagnosed the problem as a bad ABS control module and another part connected to it. I'm unable to use cruise control and my traction control is off as well. The warning lights will occasionally go off but they are usually on. Also the manufacturer has discontinued the parts I need so I can't get them to fix the issues.

I took my vehicle into my nearest dodge dealership, which is about an hour away from where I live. I had scheduled an appt. with them over the phone in which I had to wait because they didnt have the "parts"in for the recall. This specific recall was to repair or replace the PCM, or update it if it could be. I waited for weeks, and never heard anything back from the dealer, finally I was able to secure an appointment with them. They kept my car all day and I had to hound them to be able to come get my car as they never contacted me to let me know if it was done so I could pick up my car before they closed. Finally I called and 10 min before they closed I was told my car was completed. When I went to pick up my car it was still in the back lot and parked very tightly between other cars. My 2014 Dodge Charger's heat was all the way up and this was during the summer, and it still had the throw away car mats covered in dirt inside. After carefully backing the car out of their back lot I went upon my way. I had to reset my clock as well. About 4 months go by and my check engine light came on and my vehicle was reading misfire on cylinder 1, the light remains on, the vehicle shudders at idle and smells of fuel on start. Covid happened and i was not able to get my vehicle in to the manufacturer but did get in to my local mechanic and they could not find the problem but saw what the car was doing and suggested to take it to the manufactuer again, please note it is 48 miles from my home. I was unable to address this issue until now and it occured to me that the PCM can cause these problems and due to the lack of confidence and lack of courtesy I believe that they did nothing in regards to the recall.

The contact had the vehicle towed to Ramey Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (127 Frazier Dr, Princeton, WV 24739) where the evaporated gas canister was replaced under an unknown recall; however, the failure persisted after the repair. The contact then took the vehicle to another dealer for an inspection and a diagnostic test determined that the fuel pump and the connector pump had melted; they also informed her that fuel had been leaking from the vehicle. The contact was informed that the vehicle nearly caught on fire due to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was provided a case number. The vehicle was not repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 193,000.

EACH TIME THAT IT HAS HAPPENED, I'VE BEEN CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT EITHER HITTING SOMEONE ELSE OR RUNNING OFF THE ROAD. I WOULD TRY TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON TO SEE IF IT WOULD LOOSEN BACK UP. SOMETIMES IT WOULD WORK, OTHER TIMES IT WOULDN'T. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THEY ALL HAVE SAID IT MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO SO WITH THE POWER STEERING SINCE THE VEHICLE IS ELECTRIC. I'VE THEN TAKEN IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT DIAGNOSED AND THEY SAID NOTHING COMES UP ON THEIR TESTS THAT SHOWS STEERING WHEEL DEFECTS. I'VE ALSO CONTACTED THE ACTUAL DODGE MANUFACTURER BUT THEY WEREN'T OF ANY HELP EITHER UNLESS A RECALL POPS UP.

MOREOVER, MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I DO NOT HAVE A RENTAL. THE LAST TIME I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR RECALLS, I WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY RENTALS AND I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE MY OWN. ALSO, THEY NEVER TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL WITH MY BRAKE CHOCKS WEREN'T REPLACED. THE INDIVIDUALS WORKING IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIDN'T ACT REALLY PROFESSIONAL.

I AM EXTREMELY UPSET AND EXHAUSTED WITH THE 4 + HOURS I SPENT ON THE PHONE TODAY TO NOT RECEIVE ANY RESOLUTION. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE FROM CHRYSLER AGAIN AND REALLY NEED A SAFE RIDE FOR MYSELF, WIFE, 5 AND 6 YEAR OLDS, AND 2 WEEK OLD SON TO TRAVEL UNTIL THIS ISSUE CAUSED BY CHRYSLER IS RESOLVED.

I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH FCA SINCE 8/31/16, SO FOR 28 DAYS NOW, THAT I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT POWER STEERING. I FILED MY FIRST COMPLAINT ON, OR AROUND 9/12/16. I EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS STATED IN NHTSA PE14022 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPORXIMATELY 65MPH. EVERY WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF FLASHING, SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE, SERVICE POWER STEERING , AND TACH, AND SPEEDO WOULD DROP TO ZERO , AND I WOULD LOSE ENGINE POWER, AND POWER STEERING. I CAPTURED THE INCIDENT ON VIDEO, AND PROVIDED THE VIDEO TO NHTSA, I WILL AGAIN PROVIDE A LINK FOR THE VIDEO HERE : HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/E96HVQPEP10 . IN DEALING WITH FCA LLC, THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE ELECTRIC HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING PUMP THAT WAS FRIED FROM THIS INCIDENT OCCURING. FCA IS SAYING THAT IT WAS THE "2 YEAR OLD MOPAR BATTERY" THAT CAUSED THE INCIDENT, AND REFUSE TO REPLACE THE EHPS PUMP THAT WORKED PERFECTLY FINE BEFORE THIS OCCURED. I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR PER NHTSA RECALL NO. 14V-634 A GREAT DEAL OF TIME PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT OCCURING. FCA IS TRYING TO CIRCUMVENT HAVING TO REPLACE THE PUMP BY CHANGING THE ORIGIN OF THE MEANS TO THE BATTERY, INSTEAD OF THE ALTERNATOR. I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH HOW FCA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL OF THE PROOF GIVEN TO THEM. I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS, THERE HAD BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FILED WITH SIMILAR RESULTS AS MINE IN DEALING WITH FCA. IT'S TIME FOR NHTSA TO DO SOMETHING TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE WITH FCA. FCA OFFERED TO REPLACE THE $1400 EHPS PUMP IF I PAY A $500 CO-PAY, I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS OFFER BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF THE MATTER. THE TRUE ORIGIN OF ALL OF THE ISSUE'S I'M CURRENTLY HAVING, IS FROM THE ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR THAT WAS IN THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND A HALF INITIALLY, AND DURING THAT TIME IT WAS IMPROPERLY CHARGING THE BATTERY THAT POSSIBLY CAUSED THE BATTERY TO ULTIMATELY FAIL ON 8/31/16.

I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED (1.5 YEARS PRIOR)AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG JUST NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. I INSISTED THIS WAS NOT THE ISSUE SO THE MANAGER HAD HIS ASSOCIATE TEST DRIVE TO COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION THE STEERING AND BRAKE SYSTEM IS FINE. NOT HAPPY I LEFT AFTER PURCHASING THE BATTERY AND HERE WE ARE 1.5 WEEKS LATER WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I TRIED TO DRIVE OUT OF WORK YESTERDAY AND I LOST CONTROL TO MY STEERING AND IT LOCKED. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TRIED ONCE MORE THE SAME THING HAPPENED, I THEN TRY TO RESTART BUT IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DO SO. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND IT STARTED. NOT FEELING SAFE FOR MY LIFE I LEFT THE CAR AT WORK AND STILL DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT. FROM WHAT I AM READING I AM NOT THE ONLY 2014 DODGE CHARGER HAVING THIS ISSUE.

BROUGHT INTO LARRY H MILLER FOR REPAIR. WAS TOLD THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED REPLACED AFTER 13,975 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AT 14,100 MILES THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING THE SAME SMELL, AND THE BATTERY SAFER MODE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN . RETURNED IT TO LHM WITH COMPLAINTS. THEY SAY "IT'S NORMAL" MANAGER TOLD ME "DODGE JUST DIDN'T MAKE THE ALTERNATOR BIG ENOUGH FOR THAT ENGINE, MANUFACTURER FLAW"AT 14,432 MILES, THE VEHICLE NOT BLOWING COLD AIR. BATTERY SAVER MODE LIGHT WAS STILL ON, SMELLED LIKE SULFUR AND CAR WAS DRIVING SLUGGISH. I OPENED CASE WITH CORPORATE. THEY "FIXED" IT, AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. ON JUNE 17, 2016, MY VEHICLE WAS DRIVING SLUGGISHLY, THE ENGINE LIGHT ON, CALLED DODGE IMMEDIATELY AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER. I CALLED JIM CLICK IMMEDIATELY TO GET MY VEHICLE IN. MY VEHICLE WAS 23,900 MILES. DODGE CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT GET ME IN UNTIL JULY 1ST AND THAT ITS "FINE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AS LONG AS THE LIGHT ISN'T FLASHING". BROUGHT IN FOR "REPAIR" ON JUNE 1ST. I DROVE A RENTAL CAR FROM FRIDAY JUNE 1ST-JUNE 8TH, THE "CLUSTER" IN THE DASH WAS NOT READING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS "ALL FIXED". WHEN THE VEHICLE PULLED UP I GOT IN AND BEGAN TO PULL AWAY AS MY DASHBOARD WENT BLACK. I TURNED AROUND. MY ADVISOR BROUGHT IT BACK AND EXPLAINED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE "RESET" BUT THAT HE'LL ORDER A NEW CLUSTER. I GET INTO MY VEHICLE THERE IS AN "ERROR" SIGN WHERE THE MILAGE IS SUPPOSED TO BE. I THAT I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I EXPRESSED HOW UPSET I WAS ABOUT THE SITUATION AND HE SAID TO ME "YOU'LL BE FINE TO DRIVE IT, IT WON'T SHUT OFF". I GET HOME STARTED IT, AND THE ENTIRE DASH SHUTS OFF. MY CAR IS NOW BEING TOWED AGAIN TO JIM CLICK DODGE.

THE DASH FLASHED SOMETHING IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RIGHT BEFORE IT SHUTS OFF BUT TOO QUICKLY FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO READ IT, THE WHITE BOX THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE SELECTED GEAR TURNS ORANGE AND HIGHLIGHTS ALL GEARS, THEN TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER FALL TO ZERO. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I WAS ABLE TO RECORD THE THE DASH DISPLAY ON MY PHONE WHEN IT WAS OCCURRING BACK -TO-BACK. I PULLED FAULT CODES(U0101,U1110,U1120,U11BC,U0121,U0100,U212). I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP 2 WEEKS PREVIOUSLY, THEY JUST RESET MY CEL LAMP AND SAID BRING IT BACK IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE IT CAUSES SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE ECM AND TCM PROGRAMMING, OR THE MODULES THEMSELVES.

EVER SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE THERE HAS BEEN A CLUNKING NOISE AND THE WHOLE CAR MOVES WHENEVER PUTTING IN GEAR OR PUTTING IN PARK. AND THERE IS A LOUD CLUNK. I WENT TO PURCHASE GAS AT A SHELL STATION( I ONLY USE SHELL PREMIUM GAS) AND WENT INSIDE TO PAY FOR THE GAS. I CAME BACK HIT THE FUEL DOOR RELEASE BUTTON AND WENT TO THE PUMP. I WENT TO PLACE THE NOZZLE IN MY TANK AND THE METAL PLATE THAT COVERS THE FUEL TANK WOULDNT NOT MOVE. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND HE CAME TO HELP ME AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO GET THE PLATE OPEN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THAT HAD I TRIED TO PUT DIESEL IN MY TANK. I AM A FORMER TRUCK DRIVER AND KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIESEL AND REGULAR GAS. AND THAT WAS NOT THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I WENT TO A STATION THAT HAS A MECHANIC AND HE USED A TOOL AND WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK IT SO THAT WE COULD FILL UP THE TANK. I AM NOT CURRENTLY DRIVING THE CAR UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP CAN GET IT IN TO BE REPAIRED BECAUSE IF I DID RUN OUT OF GAS THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE. SO I AM STUCK WITHOUT A VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AND ALL THE DEALERSHIPS IN THE HOUSTON AREA HAVE A 4 -5 DAY WAIT TIME FOR THEM TO EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, MY TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP/SKIP AND STARTED TO SHIFT VERY ROUGHLY FROM THAT POINT. AFTER A FEW VISITS TO MY DEALER AND AFTER THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR A WEEK, IT WAS THEN DETERMINED THAT THE VALVE BODY INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACED, AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT GIVE RENTAL CARS OUT DUE TO THE VEHICLE STILL BEING DRIVABLE. (WTF?) THE PART NEEDED TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION IS ON BACKORDER AND CHRYSLER CURRENTLY DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE IT IN BECAUSE IT HAS TO COME FROM A VENDOR, SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A $40000 PAPER WEIGHT IN MY DRIVEWAY UNTIL CHRYSLER GETS OFF THEIR SORRY BUTTS TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. DUE TO THIS PART BEING ON BACKORDER, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON PROBLEM THAT I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE A RECALL. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY (IN THE LANE NEXT TO THE CARPOOL LANE) THE CAR IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE EXTREME LEFT CAUSING ME TO CRASH INTO THE CENTER DIVIDER. DURING THIS TIME, I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE TIRE WAS PULLED BACK NEXT TO THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR, BUT STILL UPRIGHT AND HEADED FORWARD. YOU COULD SEE WHERE THE TIRE HAD BEEN SPINNING AGAINST THE BODY OF THE CAR. (THESE ARE KNOWN SYMPTOMS OF A FAILED BALL JOINT) UNFORTUNATELY, THE COMPLETE TIRE ASSEMBLY WAS RIPPED OFF AS IT WAS LOADED ONTO THE TOW TRUCK. CHRYSLER HAS SINCE RULED THAT THE ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY MY "MISUSE/ABUSE" OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, IT WAS ONLY 4 MONTHS OLD AND VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. A TOTAL OF $13,000 OF DAMAGE WAS DONE TO CAR, OF WHICH THEY HAVE PLACED THE BLAME SOLELY ON ME; BASED OFF OF PHOTOS THAT I TOOK AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I WAITED THREE WEEKS FOR THEM TO SEND AN INVESTIGATOR OUT TO LOOK AT MY CAR... HE NEVER SHOWED UP. THE REPAIR WORK WAS STARTED ON MY VEHICLE WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION. (COVER UP??) THE BODY SHOP (WHICH IS AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE I INITIALLY PURCHASED THE CAR) HAS SINCE ADVISED ME TO LET THEM FINISH THE REPAIR WORK, AND ATTEMPT TO TRADE THE CAR IN. I HAVE EXPRESSED TO THEM AND THE CHRYSLER GROUP THAT I WOULD NOT FEEL SAFE IN THAT CAR IF IT WAS FIXED. I ALSO FIND IT UNFAIR THAT MY INSURANCE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE AND FAULTY PART. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THAT ACCIDENT, I HOPE THAT OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WILL COME FORTH SO THAT LIVES MAY BE SAVED IN THE FUTURE AND INJURIES PREVENTED. *TR
