I also have a drive shaft bearing that is completely destroyed. I have seen similar complaints on nhtsa. I took my car into a local shop for both front CV boots ripped and leaking. Upon inspection I was told the drive shaft also needed replaced, totaling over 3000+ to replace the drive shaft. The mechanic took a video of the bearing and it is indeed completely separated with the drive shaft moving very loose. With how may people are complaining about this part, and the recalls on drive shafts for certain vehicles, (unfortunately not this VIN) that it should be investigated.

Transmission is beginning to fail. I'm afraid it's gonna go out while driving Just purchased car about 2 months ago and started noticing the transmission issue

Jul 26, 2024

I started noticing a funny noise when turning to the right and when accelerating. Took it to Community Auto Repair on 7/19/24. Below are their notes from inspection (I have attached the 1st pg of the Inspection report stating this) Test Drive - Noise Inspection NOTES Drive shaft carrier bearing is totally destroyed. Greg (owner) said that he had never seen one as bad as that before! He told me that it is dangerous to drive. If it completely breaks I could cause much more damage and can cause an accident. So I had to leave it in the shop over the weekend to be fixed on Monday. They are going to have to replace the whole drive shaft, which is $2000 +. The reason I am reporting this issue is because I would like it looked into. Greg said that it was nothing I did and it was most likely a defective part or a defect in how it was installed . He said he was surprised by how destroyed it was with how little miles I have on it. My car only has 37,000 miles on it! I saw that other Chargers of this year had recalls but my VIN was not included. But something seems odd with my car only having 37,000 miles on it and for the drive shaft bearing to be DESTOYED. Please look into this matter. Maybe my car should actually be part of the recall?

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was vibrating. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission driveline needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000.

The center Carrier support bearing is defective. As I look online on how to repair it I see NUMEROUS occasions of this happening in similar cars as mine. This part allows the drive shaft to not move up and down. When the center support bearing is defective and pops out of place it allows the drive shaft to move up and down. Which ruins other parts of the drive shaft and transfer cases. Dodge needs to be held responsible for their faulty part.

Could become visibility issue if continue to raise on 2015 dodge charger sxt. Just noticed issue this week wasnt there last week. Doors have been for a couple years. This is new issue.

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN JANUARY OF 2019 ABOUT A RECALL TO REPLACE THE PAB INFLATOR ON MY 2015 DODGE CHARGER SE. I WENT TO VIVA DODGE WHERE I GOT MY VEHICLE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD PUT IN THE ORDER FOR THE PART AND GIVE ME A CALL WHEN THEY'RE READY TO FIX IT. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER OF 2019 AND THEY HAVE YET TO CONTACT ME. I TRIED CALLING THEM MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND THEY ASSURED ME THE PARTS WERE BEING ORDERED BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK ABOUT GOING IN FOR REPAIR. IT IS CONCERNING TO ME CONSIDERING FAULTY OF THIS PART COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES AND EVEN DEATH IF EVER IN AN ACCIDENT.

I HAVE A DODGE CHARGER, I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY DOOR PANELS INSIDE THE CAR HAVE BEEN WARPING, I DIDN'T THINK THAT I HAVE TO PAY 30000 DOLLARS FOR A CAR I THOUGHT WOULD BE AN AWESOME CAR DO THIS. SO I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME, BUT NO I HAVE FOUND OUT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2011, I HAVE A TOTAL OF 3 CARS INCLUDING MY BEAUTIFUL DODGE CHARGER. I DON'T THINK IT'S FAR THAT I AND MANY OTHERS HAVE TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE OF NEARLY AN EXTRA 2000 DOLLARS FOR GETTING OUR DOOR PANELS REINSTALLED. THIS IS LUDACRIS DON'T GO THINK. I ALSO KNOW THAT THIS IS A NATION WIDE PROBLEM HERE, THEN WHEN YOU CALL TO SEE ABOUT GETTING THEM FIX KNOWING YOU HAVE A WARRANTY OR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY TELL YOU THEY DON'T PAY FOR IT BECAUSE ITS WARE OR TEAR. HOW IS THAT? I KNOW WHEN I GET INTO MY CAR I USUALLY SIT INSIDE THE CAR AND NOT OR A DOOR PANEL. HOW HEAVY OF SOMETHING CAN A DOOR PANEL ACTUALLY BE BEING THAT A DOOR PANEL HAS LITTLE WEIGHT TO HOLD ANYTHING. MY POINT HERE IS WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2011 IT'S 2019. WHY DO THE CUSTOMER HAVE TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR SOMETHING THEY HAVE NOT EVEN THERE.

THE DOOR TRIM ON BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE ARE 'WARPED' IN WERE THEY'RE NOT ATTACHED ANYMORE. I THINK THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN ALL DODGE CHARGER AND CHALLENGER VEHICLES. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. IT'S ALSO INTERESTING THAT ORDERING THE DOOR PANELS THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

STEERING

Steering wheel is hard to turn.

Jun 25, 2025

Oct. 2021 drove car from california to montana. No problem! Nov. 2021 Car started and power steering light came on. I had no power steering and was unable to drive car. Had car towed to dealership and said my steering rack had internal failure and i had to replace rack. Cost me $3975, 2015 Dodge Charger, 34409 miles

Nov 16, 2021

IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT FOR A BRIEF SECOND RESULTING IN TOTAL INOPERABILITY OF THE CAR'S MANEUVERABILITY. LUCKILY, FOR MY SON, THIS HAS TYPICALLY BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY ON A STRAIGHT AWAY. FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER, THERE SEEMS TO BE NO ANSWER TO THIS VIA CHAT BOARDS, OR ANY KNOWLEDGE OF A FIX FROM A DEALER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND DODGE SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ASAP BEFORE IT RESULTS IN THE ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLE DEATH OF SOMEONE AT A HIGH SPEED TRYING TO MAKE A CORNER. ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE FACT THAT POLICE OFFICERS ARE USING THESE CARS IN EXACTLY THIS WAY. DO BETTER DODGE, THIS IS AN ISSUE!

STREEING MAKING NOSIE WHILE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT

May 07, 2019

STEERING WHEEL JERKED WHEN TURNING OR BACKING OUT OF A TIGHT SPOT, INTERMITTENTLY. WE THEN RECEIVED POWER STEERING ERROR WITH THE ICON ON THE DASH. NOW APPROX 3 MONTHS LATER WE LOST POWER STEERING. DEALERS SAY THE ENTIRE FRONT RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF AN ELECTRONIC PART. THE RACK IS AT LEAST $2500 AND THEN MULTIPLE DEALERS SAY AT LEAST ANOTHER $1500 IN LABOR. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A CAR ONLY 2 YEARS OLD CAN BE SUBJECT TO THIS TYPE OF REPAIR FOR AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT FAILURE. WHEN STARTING, WE CAN STEER EASILY BUT AFTER 100 YARDS OR LESS WE GET THE FAILURE ICON AND LOSE POWER STEERING. THIS CLEARLY SEEMS A FAULT AT THE DESIGN/MANUFACTURE LEVEL. I CANNOT FIND THE COST OF THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENT YET, WOULD LIKE SOME HELP WITH THAT AND ALSO WITH CHRYSLER BEING MADE TO FIX THIS DEFECT.

ENGINE

7 complaints

There is a manufacturing defect in the car, after it has driven 120,000 kilometers or 200,000 kilometers, it causes problems in the engine’s cooling systems, which causes the car’s temperature to rise. It is also possible that the engine is damaged and needs to be replaced after that. The cooling system needs to be checked, improved, and treated for better and higher quality Note : After researching this problem on websites, I found that the car breaks down frequently in countries like Saudi Arabia due to the temperature of weather reaching 50 degrees Celsius.

V6 3.6 L Pentastar engine has serious misfire issues, I purchased a vehicle with 150k miles on it, it had check engine light on, I brought it to a local dealer service center in Dodge Koons/Tysons VA. After $900 diagnostics it was recommended to swap the engine for a brand new one. I agreed, after a month of waiting, I received my car back with the new engine installed total bill was almost $10000. After 6-7 months of driving with the new engine the check engine turned on again, so I wend back to Koons and they said the problem with the oil pressure sensor that is not cover under the engine warranty (another $550 bill). And yesterday on 02/25/2022 after a month from the last repair I had the check engine flashing again while I was driving on a highway, the car was vibrating, steering wheel was not responsive either. When I came home I found out that the flashing check engine light indicates a misfire. That means that the brand new engine has the same problem as the one that I recently replaced. This is definitely a manufacturing defect and it’s 100% not safe that they make engines like this. I will try to get my warranty though and will probably try to sell the vehicle after they fix it (hopefully no bill from Koons this time, but still 50 % unsure about it) , the fact that they produce and install them in cars is unprecedented in such a high volume (I read articles online that many people having this problem with their dodge vehicles), I’m an experienced driver but even for me it was scary to drive in such extreme conditions.

Passenger side headlight turns off in random, and then goes off completely. Happened in 2019 and then again in 2023, for my 2015 Dodge Charger. Repair is expensive,

Nov 13, 2023

I have owned my car for a little over 4 years and I just bought a two pack of lightbulbs in sept 2022 for the headlights. And I replace my bulbs every couple of months bc they go out. This cannot be normal. This is becoming expensive as a 2 pack is $50 x3 times a year. I've had them replaced at a shop where it was over $125. I've checked to make sure I'm buying the right ones. And I just find this to be crazy. As I have to go buy my 4th pack tomorrow this year.

Headlights are so dim you can barely see the road at times at night or in the rain.

My headlight keep going out on my 2015 dodge charger I had both replaced and now the driver side went out again please help

Oct 29, 2021

BOTH HEADLIGHTS HAVE WENT OUT ON MY CHARGER. FIRST IT WAS DRIVER HEADLIGHT I COULD ONLY DRIVE WITH MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON. IF I SWITCH THEM TO LOW BEAM THERE WOULD BE NO LIGHT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK TRYING TO GET IN THE DEALERSHIP THE ENTIRE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. I REPLACED THE BULB NOTHING HAPPENED. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AGAIN THERE WAS WAIT. ANOTHER WEEK WENT BY AND MY PASSENGER HEADLAMP STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. I NOW HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND MY FOG LIGHTS. BRAND NEW BULBS IN BOTH HEADLIGHTS STILL NO POWER AND NO LIGHTS. NO BRIGHT LIGHTS, NO LOW BEAM LIGHTS. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR THE ANSWER ON THE WEB. I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2010-2012 CHARGERS WITH THE ELECTRICAL WIRING BURNING OUT AND CAUSING THIS ISSUE. I'M WONDERING IF THE SAME ISSUES IS HAPPENING WITH MY CHARGER. MY BROTHER HAS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200 AND IS NOW HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Leaks fuel from top of fuel pump when parked, car full of gas fumes. It poses an immediate threat to my safety and my children. No warning lamp

Feb 27, 2025

My 2015 Dodge Charger is in the shop because of the “Fuel pump and pigtail to the the fuel pump, burnt off the exhaust ” per the mechanics exact words. The mechanic told me my car has the possibility to catch fire/explode and can pose great harm to me and anyone in the car. I was also informed this problem was a manufacturing issue and there was nothing I could have done to cause it or prevent it. This problem is extremely reminiscent of the R07 recall in 2015 Dodge Chargers, yet my 2015 Dodge Charger Vin does not show this recall for my car specifically. I believe this is a matter of safety and should be explained to all 2015 Dodge Chargers.

THE CONNECTOR TO THE FUEL PUMP OVERHEATS CAUSING THE PLASTIC HOUSING TO MELT ITS WAY INTO THE FUEL TANK. FUEL LEAKS UNDER THE REAR SEAT AND THE FUMES FILL THE CAR. I PURCHASED A NEW FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY AND IT CAME WITH A WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR. THERE WAS OVERHEATING MENTIONED WITH THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, SO THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM. HOW CAN GAS UNDER THE REAR SEAT NOT BE A MAJOR CONCERN?

I BOUGHT MY 2015 DODGE CHARGER AS A CERTIFIED USED CAR. I DID NOT HAVE MUCH NEED FOR HILL DRIVING UNTIL MOVING TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A GRADE AND BRAKING, I NOTICED A VIBRATION IN THE BRAKE AND SHIMMY IN THE STEERING. THE ISSUE HAS CONTINUED, WHEN DRIVING DOWNHILL AND BRAKING. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAITED UNTIL AN UNRELATED RECALL TO HAVE THE DEALER CHECK THE BRAKES. AT 31,098 MILES, THE FRONT ROTORS ARE WARPED AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. DODGE IS INDICATING THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I REVIEWED ON LINE FORUMS AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHERS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT NOT ONLY THIS MODEL YEAR, BUT ALSO DATING BACK TO THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. ALL DESCRIBED SIMILAR ISSUES WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE.

OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. ALTHOUGH PROBLEM IS PRIMARILY OBSERVED WHILE IN MOTION. ACCELERATOR/BRAKE ASSEMBLY MOVES TOWARDS THE SEAT WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS CAUSES INCREASED PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL UNKNOWINGLY. IF DRIVING - THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATE, IF BRAKING - INCREASED PRESSURE CAUSES UNPREDICTABLE DECREASE IN SPEED. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY DEALER TWICE ON THE SAME VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED WHICH DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE SECOND TIME THE ENTIRE ACCELERATOR/BRAKE ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED WHICH DID FIX THE ISSUE. AFTER LESS THAN ONE YEAR THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AGAIN. THE PROBLEM IS THAT EVEN A SMALL INCREASE IN PRESSURE ON THE GAS HAS A DRAMATIC EFFECT ON SPEED AND ACCELERATION. IT IS ALMOST IMPERCEPTIBLE THAT THE PEDAL IS MOVING TOWARDS THE DRIVER WHILE DRIVING. THE PEDAL WILL CONTINUE MOVING UNTIL AT FULL FORWARD (CLOSEST TO THE DRIVER) OR SWITCH IS USED. THE SWITCH LOCATED ON THE SEAT WILL STOP THE MOVEMENT AND STILL OPERATES TO MOVE THE PEDALS BACK TO THEIR DESIRED POSITION.

THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR I'VE OWNED MY 2015 CHARGER. I NOTICED THE FIRST YEAR AFTER BUYING THE CAR IN THE SUMMER THAT THE HEAT ONLY BLEW OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT LOOKED AT I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $650 TO REPLACE THE DOOR ACTUATOR. APPROX 2 DAYS LATER WHILE I WAS WAITING ON THE PART I TRIED THE HEAT AND IT CAME ON. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I CANCELLED THE REPAIR. NOW, HERE AS THE COLD HAS COME UPON US AGAIN, ONCE AGAIN, NO HEAT ON DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL ISSUES REGARDING DODGE CHARGERS OF THE SAME YEAR EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS ISSUE IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED BY THE MAKER TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE. BEING THAT WHEN IT'S COLD OUT THE DEFROSTER ISN'T CAPABLE OF KEEPING THE WINDSHIELD CLEAR THEREFORE COULD CAUSE VISABILITY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING.

THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED DISPLAYING MESSAGES TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICED. IT HAS BEGAN TO NOT START AS WELL. IT WILL RANDOMLY FLASH THESE MESSAGES ON THE DASH IN MOTION AND STATIONARY POSITIONS. WHEN IT DOES, THE POWER STEERING ACTUALLY GOES OUT OF THE VEHICLE SWERVES. THE CAR WAS JUST AT A DEALERSHIP TO GET THE OIL DONE A WEEK AGO AND THEY DID AN ENTIRE INSPECTION ON IT AND SAID IT WAS FINE....IT HAS DONE THIS BEFORE 2 YEARS AGO AND THEN STOPPED ON IT'S OWN. SO THE OIL CHANGE WAS BEFORE THE ISSUES STARTED AGAIN. HAD IT CHECKED OUT AGAIN AND STILL NOTHING THROWING ANY CODES OUT. THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND WE WOULD LOVE SOME ANSWERS AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING!

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, an abnormal sound was heard coming from under the engine. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed; however, the diagnosis was unavailable. The vehicle was taken to a local independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed as needing a front drive shaft replacement. The vehicle was previously repaired for the front passenger side bearing, and the other unknown repairs were made; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.

Car seat has a curved back instead of a flat back design which causes a chin to chest position of the head leading to closed airways of the infant. Car seat has not been inspected. Infant cries and stuggles to breathe while in car seat turning red and trying to gasp for air as he seems to slowly choke. His chin touches his chest and airways seemed closed. This is very dangerous. This product has been discontinued and should be recalled. I wrote a date below because you have asked for one but this has been a constant occurrence.

At aproximately 39000 miles, whie driving down the road the electric power steering / rack and pinion died. The wheel froze up and was very hard to turn. I was lucky i was not going fast. It cost me 3900.00 for a new R&P on a fairly new car at the time. I have also been through 3 drive shaft bearings in 100,000 miles. Dodge should be sued, so many other reports of these items going... These are expensive safety issues that shat shoud be covered by the mfgr.

This problem first appeared on 2/1/23. After driving the vehicle and i park, when i place the car shifter in park and press the push to start button to turn off the car, the car shuts off but the start button stays in ACC mode and will not go to OFF mode option no matter how many times you press it. The vehicle will go from ACC then to Start only. The warning lights display on the dash saying, Service Shifter, Vehicle not in park and traction light appears then shows Service Airbag. The vehicle is in park but the push button will not allow it to go into OFF mode. it will stay on ACC. The only two options are ACC and Start. The vehicle believes the car is not in park but it is. No matter what you do it will not go into OFF mode. The only way to temporarily put it in OFF is to disconnect the battery. When you start the car again, it will turn on but when it's time to turn the vehicle off it will repeat the same problem and stay in ACC and will not allow it to be pushed into OFF mode This has not been inspected by the manufacturer, dealer or insurance company yet. In my research of the problem other Dodge Charges have the same issue. Safety issue is not being able to turn the car off completely. unknown of other safety risks

ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY ABS AND ESC LIGHT LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE DASH. ESC WAS IN RED AND ABS WAS IN YELLOW. I PULLED THE CAR OVER, CUT IT OFF, AND GOOGLED WHAT IT MAY BE AND ALL KINDS OF STUFF CAME UP IN REFERENCE TO WHAT IT COULD BE. ONCE I STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN, IT WAS GONE. LET IT BE KNOWN, I TRAVEL ON THE INTERSTATE TO GO TO WORK, SO THIS WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE FOR ME. I PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE TOOK OFF ONCE I GOT UP TO 78, I PUT MY CRUISE ON AND THEN ABOUT 10 MINS LATER THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AGAIN. THIS TIME, IT SHUT MY CRUISE OFF AND IT'S LIKE SOMEONE PULLED MY STEERING WHEEL FROM ME. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AGAIN AND CUT THE CAR OFF. I WOULD REALLY HATE TO BE DRIVING 75-79 MPH AND MY STEERING GOES OUT. PHONED DODGE AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THEY COULD TELL ME WHAT IT WAS. I WENT AHEAD ON AND CONTINUED TO WORK AND IT DID NOT DO IT AGAIN, EVEN COMING HOME. I JUST DID NOT USE THE CRUISE. TIME HAS PASSED AND IT DID NOT COME BACK ON BUT NOW (TWICE) WHEN I USE MY BRAKES, IT FEELS LIKE THEY ARE SLIPPING. NOT TO MENTION AS OF 30 MINS AGO MY LIGHTS HAVE COME BACK ON. I WAS TOLD IT MAY BE A SENSOR BUT IT'S HARD TO TELL WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE NOT ON. THIS CAR IS MY LIFE.. MY MEANS TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I CANNOT FINANCIALLY GIVE HUNDREDS EVERY TIME A LIGHT COME ON AND THEN IT GOES OFF AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE. I WAS TOLD MY BREAKS AND ROTORS WERE FINE, YET I AM STILL GOING TO REPLACE THEM. I JUST NEED THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER.. I AM A TRUE MOPAR FAN AND I LOVE MY DODGE, BUT IF I OR MY FAMILY IS IN DANGER DRIVING/RIDING IN THIS CAR, MYSELF AND SOMEONE ELSE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT AND SEE IF SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. PLEASE ADVISE..THANK YOU! *TR

I WAS DRIVING USING MY PADDLE SHIFTERS MOUNTED TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND I PRESSED THE + SHIFTER TO UPSHIFT, BUT INSTEAD OF GOING UP TO THIRD GEAR THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IT IS VERY COMMON AMONG OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES, DATING BACK TO AT LEAST 2015 AND STILL PRESENT IN CURRENT 2019 VEHICLES, YET CHRYSLER HAS NOT ISSUED A SOLUTION. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY SIGNIFICANT ISSUE AS THIS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CARS ENGINE, AND COULD EVEN CAUSE ACCIDENTS OR SPEEDING TICKETS AS THE CAR COULD ACCELERATE SUDDENLY WHEN THE DRIVER IS EXPECTING TO UPSHIFT. I HAVE NOTICED THIS ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES, IT WAS CERTAINLY NOT A ONE-OFF AND IT IS DEFINITELY NOT LIMITED TO MY VEHICLE, AS IT IS CIRCULATING AROUND THE INTERNET AS A COMMON CHRYSLER PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED IT IN CHARGERS AND CHALLENGERS I HAVE DRIVEN (I AM A VALET DRIVER) THERE ARE SEVERAL VIDEOS UP ON THE INTERNET DOCUMENTING THE ISSUE.

VEHICLE WAS AT DEALERSHIP (ACADIANA DODGE). AFTER BEING THERE FOR NEARLY A MONTH VEHICLE STILL HADN'T BEEN PROPERLY SERVICED. PASSED WORDS WITH SERVICE MANAGER AND THEY REFUSED TO COMPLETE SERVICE HAD TO TAKE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND PAY ANOTHER DEDUCTIBLE. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM THIS DEALERSHIP THEREFORE I FEEL AS IF THEY SHOULD'VE MADE IT AN PRIORITY TO MAKE SURE MY VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THAT I WAS SATISFIED AS AN CUSTOMER. THEY ALSO LISTED SERVICES COMPLETED ON INVOICE THAT HADN'T BEEN RENDERED. U DO NOT TRUST DEALERSHIPS.

ATTEMPTED TO START CAR AND NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN START WAS PUSHED. LIGHTS AND RADIO WORKED. MESSAGE ON PANEL SAID PRESS ON BRAKE AND PUSH START BUT STILL NOTHING HAPPENED. THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFT BEGAN FLASHING RED, THE WIPERS BEGAN OPERATION EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE OFF. THE KEY FOBS WOULD NO LONGER WORK. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALER, WHICH STRANDED ME 4 HOURS FROM HOME IN 0 DEGREE WEATHER. THE DEALER COULD NOT GET TO IT FOR 3 DAYS AND WHEN THEY DID- IT STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM AND NO CODE ERRORS CAME UP. THE DEALERSHIP ACTUALLY TOLD ME THAT THEY THINK IT WAS DUE TO THE EXTREME COLD TEMPERATURES. I GUESS DODGE CAN ONLY BE DRIVEN IN A WARM CLIMATE. NOW IT DID IT AGAIN LAST NIGHT. AT LEAST I WAS ONLY 30 MINS FROM HOME. I WENT BACK THIS MORNING AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP AGAIN BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THIS TIME IT WAS 65 DEGREES. SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT SEEMS FROM SEARCHING THE INTERNET THAT A LOT OF CHARGERS HAVE THIS ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR TO HAVE IT REPAIRED.

I STARTED A UCONNECT SYSTEM UPDATE WHILE I WAS STILL PARKED. THE DISCLAIMER SAID NOTHING ABOUT TO NOT UPDATE WHILE DRIVING. I STARTED THE UPDATE AND STARTED DRIVING (MY COMMUTE IS ABOUT 25 MINUTES).

AT THIS TIME I WAS IN CRUISE CONTROL ON A FREEWAY THAT WAS ENDING, SO I TURNED OFF MY CRUISE CONTROL AND THEN MY CAR JOLTED FORWARDED AS IF IT WERE IN A VERY LOW GEAR AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH. I THEN WAS STUCK IN 1ST GEAR WHILE THE SYSTEM WAS REBOOTING AND COULDN'T AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY SHIFT PAST 1ST GEAR LEAVING ME STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THEN A SCREEN POPPED UP SAYING THERE WAS 50 MINUTES LEFT ON THE UPDATE. I WAS STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL THE UPDATE FINISHED. AFTER THAT, MY GEARS WERE SHIFTING NORMALLY. DURING THIS TIME, I CALLED DODGE AND OPENED A CASE LETTING THEM KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

I WAS THEN ABLE TO BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY. NO ERROR CODE WAS POSTED! I BELIEVE THAT THE REALTIME SOFTWARE IS EXPERIENCING FRAME OVERRUNS AND WE KNOW THAT CAUSES RUNAWAY CONDITIONS LIKE IN THE TOYOTA CAMRY. I BELIEVE THE NHTSA SHOULD REVIEW EVERY CAR FIRMWARE BEFORE RELEASE TO INSURE SPARE TIME REQUIREMENTS ARE MET AND RUNAWAY CONDITIONS CAN NOT EXIST.
