TAKATA RECALL FOR MY DODGE CHALLENGER HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED. WHY? WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE FIXED? IT ENDANGERS MY PASSENGER/S EVERY TIME THEY ARE IN MY CAR.

HELLO, I PURCHASED A 2012 DODGE CHALLENGER SXT FROM CLOVIS CHRYSLER DODGE AUGUST 2013. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE HAD THE ALTERNATOR, WHICH IS ON RECALL BE REPLACED BY CLOVIS DODGE IN FEBRUARY OF 2015 AS WELL AS FEBRUARY OF 2017. I ATTEMPTED TO TRADE-IN MY VEHICLE ON 02/13/17, BUT THE DEALERSHIP MADE ME AWARE THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR, NHTSA RECALL #16V-352: TAKATA RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME THAT THEY DO NOT TAKE RECALL VEHICLES AS A TRADE IN. MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND NOW I AM IN A POSITION WHERE I CANNOT TRADE IN MY VEHICLE . I AM TRYING TO GET A NEW VEHICLE DUE TO HAVING A BABY ON THE WAY AND NOW THIS CAR PUTS ME INTO A POSITION TO WHERE I SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX IT WHEN I NEED TO GET RID OF IT, OR I JUST KEEP IT AND WAIT FOR IT TO CONTINUE TO BREAK DOWN. I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING TIMING CHAIN,CASING,AND GUIDE I TOOK VEHICLE IN TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE RECALL PERFORMED AND AFTER I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE 2 WEEKS LATER MY ENGINE SLUNG A ROD THROUGH MY ENGINE BLOCK WHEN VEHICLE EXCELLERATED TO 70 MILES PER HOUR NOW CHRYSLER AS WELL AS DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE WHEN THE RECALL CLEARLY STATE IF THE JOB IS NOT PERFORMED CORRECTLY THIS COULD TAKE PLACE I WAS TRAVELLING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT BLEW WITH VEHICLES COMING ON BOTH SIDES IT WAS A TWO LANE HIGHWAY 278

I TIRED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND GET OUT WHILE IT WAS RUNNING. BECAUSE OF THE SHIFTIER DESIGN IT WENT TO 'R' AND NOT PARK CAUSING THE CAR TO START REVERSING AS I WAS GETTING OUT. I WAS ABLE TO JUMP BACK IN AND HIT THE BREAKS BUT THE CAR DOOR HIT THE GARAGE WALL AND MESSED UP NOT ONLY MY CAR DOOR BUT THE WALL.

THE WINDOWS ON MY CAR ARE CONTINUOUSLY MOVING UP AND DOWN WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE CONTROLS. THE DOOR HANDLE LATCHES ARE ALSO GETTING STUCK AND IN THE MORNINGS THE CAR IS DEAD AND HAS TO BE JUMPED. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AFTER GOOGLING THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE DOOR LATCHES NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $350.00 EACH AND THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL OF THESE COMPLAINTS AND PROBLEMS. THIS IS CAUSING THE WINDOWS TO MOVE BY THEMSELVES AND DRAINING THE BATTERY OVERNIGHT. THEY IMMEDIATELY KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE TWO PROBLEMS. WE PAY TOO MUCH FOR OUR CARS AS IT IS. NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR A MALFUNCTION! *TR

IT COMPLETELY DRAINS MY BATTERY AND THE VEHICLE WON'T START WITHOUT A JUMPER BOX OR JUMPER CABLES (EVERY TIME I TURN IT OFF.) I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO FRANK SHOOP TWICE AND THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT OR HAVE YET TO FIX IT.

MY 2012 CHALLENGER RT V8 ALTERNATOR WENT OUT AT ABOUT 51,000 MILES. IT COST $600 TO REPLACE, BUT 7 WEEKS LATER I AM GETTING A LOW VOLTAGE ALERT AGAIN. I HAD IT TESTED AND THE ALTERNATOR FAILED. I'M AFRAID THIS CAR IS GOING TO DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE V6 WAS RECALLED FOR ALTERNATOR PROBLEMS. I HAVE SEEN WHERE SEVERAL OWNERS OF V8'S HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME THING I HAVE (LIGHTS DIMMING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAUSING RADIO LIGHTS TO DIM, WHINING SOUND UNDER HOOD, RANDOM LOW VOLTAGE ALERTS ON RADAR DETECTORS, THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR STOPS RUNNING, EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN); NO RECALL HAS BEEN PUBLISHED FOR THE V8 BUT I FEEL WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS.

I OWN A 2012 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT 8. CHRYSLER ISSUED 2 TSBS IN 2014 ABOUT THE ENGINE TIMING CHAIN GUIDE POSSIBLY FRACTURING, CAUSING THE TIMING CHAIN TO BREAK, AND RESULTING IN SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE. CHRYSLER WILL PAY FOR THE ENGINE DAMAGE IF THE CHAIN BREAKS IF IT OCCURS UNDER WARRANTY. BUT, THEY WILL NOT PAY TO REPLACE THE GUIDE TO PREVENT THE CHAIN FROM BREAKING. THESE TWO TSBS, NUMBERS CSN-P-01 AND 09-PO-11-82, AFFECT 2009 ' 2012 CHRYSLER 300S, AND DODGE CHARGERS AND CHALLENGERS. THE SECOND TSB SAYS IT AFFECTS A "NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF VEHICLES'. A DODGE SERVICE ADVISOR ADVISED THE OUT-OF-POCKET COST TO REPLACE THE GUIDE IS AROUND $2000. MY CONTENTION IS THAT THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL, NOT A TSB. THE REASON IS THAT WHEN THE TIMING CHAIN BREAKS, THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO STALL. THIS COULD VERY EASILY RESULT IN A SERIOUS CRASH IF THE VEHICLE STALLS IN THE SECOND OR THIRD LANE OF A BUSY 4 LANE INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR. THE DRIVER MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OVER TO EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT SHOULDER BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPS, AND IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVER TO TRY TO RUN FROM THE VEHICLE TO A SHOULDER. IN 2015, CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL ON CERTAIN 2011 ' 2014 CHRYSLER VEHICLES BECAUSE THE ALTERNATOR MAY SUDDENLY FAIL. IT STATES, 'IF THE ALTERNATOR FAILS, THE VEHICLE MAY STALL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.' SO, IF CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL BECAUSE AN ALTERNATOR MAY FAIL, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE PROBLEM WITH THE TIMING CHAIN BREAKING DUE TO A GUIDE THAT MAY FRACTURE, WHICH WOULD ALSO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL, HAS RESULTED IN ONLY TSBS BEING ISSUED AND NOT A SAFETY RECALL. THE ONLY REASON I CAN THINK OF IS THE COST OF TO THE MANUFACTURER TO REIMBURSE THE DEALERSHIPS FOR REPLACING AN ALTERNATOR VS. REPLACING A TIMING CHAIN GUIDE CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT COMPLAINT BE REMOVED FROM THE SYSTEM. UPDATED 07/22/16*LJ *JS

I JUST BOUGHT MY CAR 7 MONTHS AGO FROM LOCKLEAR. CURRENT MILEAGE ON IT IS ABOUT 43,000 WHICH PUTS ME RIGHT OUTSIDE MY WARRANTY. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL RECENTLY. I NOTICED WHEN I WOULD UNBUCKLE MY SEAT BELT THAT IT WOULD TEND TO GET STUCK IN THE BUCKLE. A FEW DAYS LATER I'M LEAVING MY HOUSE TO DRIVE TO TOWN AND MY SEAT BELT WOULDN'T CLICK INTO THE BUCKLE NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED. I CHECK OUT THE BUCKLE AND APPARENTLY THE PIECE INSIDE OF IT BROKE AND NOW I CAN'T BUCKLE MY SEAT BELT AT ALL! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I ALWAYS WEAR MY SEAT BELT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT AND IT'S A COSTLY TICKET IF I GET PULLED OVER. I CALLED MY DEALER AND THEY SAY THE COST OF JUST THE BUCKLE ALONE WAS 200 AND THE LABOR WOULD BE EXPENSIVE TOO BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE MORE WORK TO TAKE THE SEAT COMPLETELY OUT. TOTAL IS NEARLY 350 JUST TO REPLACE A BUCKLE! UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T HAVE THAT KINDA MONEY TO SPEND SO I CAN'T GET MY BUCKLE FIXED OR WEAR A SEATBELT :(
