WE HAD ONE OF OUR 2013 DODGE CHARGER PPV FAIL TO CRANK. AFTER DETERMINING THAT ENGINE WAS NOT GETTING FUEL, WE REMOVED FUEL PUMPS. WE FOUND DRIVERS SIDE FUEL PUMP ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR HAD GOTTEN SO HOT THAT IT MELTED TOP PUMP COVER AND CREATED A FUEL LEAK. THIS CONDITION HAPPENED INSIDE FUEL TANK WHICH SEEMS LIKE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A FUEL TANK FIRE. WE REPLACE BOTH FUEL PUMPS WITH NEW COVER. WE HAVE 7 OF THESE VEHICLES BUT THIS IS THE ONLY INCIDENT THAT WE ARE AWARE OF SO FAR. I DO HAVE OLD PART AND PICTURES.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO AND NOW THE CAR HAS BEEN MISFIRING GIVING ME VARIOUS ERROR CODES WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ON THE ROADS. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM, ACURA OF FREMONT, HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALLS. THE VEHICLE HAS GIVEN ME THE P0132 AND RECENTLY P0300 ERROR CODE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CHRYSLER AND DODGE DEALERSHIP IN SAN LEANDRO, CA AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIND AN ISSUE WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THEY SAW THE P0300 ERROR CODE AND THE CAR SHAKING IMMENSELY. I TOLD THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE AFTER I FELT THE STRONG SHAKING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING MAKING DINGING SOUNDS AND TICKING SOUNDS. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT TO TRY AGAIN IN THE MORNING AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND NO ISSUE ON THE VEHICLE. THE NEXT DAY, THE CAR STARTS JERKING ON THE FREEWAY SLIPPING IN POWER CAUSING THE CAR TO SHAKE. AFTER RESEARCHING, THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THIS SPECIFIC YEAR AND MODEL THAT I HAVE, A CYLINDER HEAD MISFIRE THAT THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING.

WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER FAR WORSE THAN ANY MANUAL STEERING I HAVE DRIVEN IN OVER 50 YEARS. ONLY 17,500 MILES ON CAR. STEERING PUMP ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. CAR WAS IN MOTION. CITY AND HIGHWAY BOTH.

OCT. 30,2018 WILE MAKING A 15 MPH. LEFT TURN ON TO LAS VEGAS BLVD.IN MY 2013DODGE CHALLENGER SXT. I EXPERIENCED THE CAR SHUTTING OFF AND LOSS OF ALL POWER I DECIDED TO LET THE CAR COST TO A STOP HOWEVER INSTEAD OF THE CAR STOPPING IT JULTED FORWARD AND TURNED BACK ON. WENT 300 FT. AND MADE ANOTHER LEFT TURN AGAIN THE CAR SHUT OFF .THIS TIME IT DID NOT TURN ON. NO WARRING LIGHT EVER APPEARED.NOW 2 HOURS LATTER THE CAR CRANKS BUT WILL NOT TURN OVER. SYSTEM SAYS "OK". ABSOLUTLY NO WARRING LIGHTS ARE ON.

IN OCTOBER 2018, I WENT TO YOUR DEALERSHIP (PLANET FORD) LOCATED IN HUMBLE TEXAS. I PURCHASE (DEBIT CARD) TWO VEHICLES OFF OF THE LOT. I PURCHASED A DODGE CHALLENGER 2019 (HEMI V8 RT), AND CHEVROLET TAHOE 2007. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DODGE CHALLENGER SINCE IT HAD LESS THAN 50,000 MILES HAD A BUMPER TO BUMPER COVERAGE STILL WITH DODGE. I STARTED HAVING MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE DODGE CHALLENGER. I SPOKE WITH STEWARD (WHO SOLD ME THE EXTENDED WARRANTY) AT PLANET FORD IN HUMBLE, TEXAS AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO TEXAN DODGE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE HAD MULTIPLE ENGINE PROBLEMS AND IT WOULD REQUIRE ANOTHER ENGINE TO BE PUT INTO THE CAR. IN DECEMBER, I PICKED THE CAR UP AND HAD TO PAY $160.00 DEDUCTIBLE. I LOST TIME FROM WORK, AND ENDED UP BEING FIRED. IN DECEMBER 2018, THE VEHICLE SUFFERED A THROTTLE PROBLEM. AGAIN, I HAD TO PAY $ 114.00 DEDUCTIBLE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RELEASED (AFTER A WEEK). NOW, JANUARY 2019, I HAVE AN OIL LEAK. I WENT INTO TEXAN DODGE AND SPOKE TO MRS. SHEFFIE (AFTER CALLING HER MULTIPLE TIMES), AND SHE TOLD ME THAT I MIGHT HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER DEDUCTIBLE AND THAT THE CAR HAD PRIOR ISSUES WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I TOLD HER THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A NEW ENGINE THAT TEXAN DODGE (THEIR DEALERSHIP) PUT IN AND ALSO WORKED ON THE FAULTY THROTTLE IN 2018. SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WANT SURE IF PLANET FORD (WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY) WOULD COVER THE OIL LEAK. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT A PRIOR CLAIM WAS PUT ON THE VEHICLE BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2018. NOT ONLY AM I GETTING THE RUN AROUND, BUT I KNOW THAT ACCORDING TO THE PRIOR INSURANCE CLAIM THAT WAS PUT ON THE VEHICLE THAT PLANET FORD WAS AWARE OF THE DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLE. I ALSO PAID 2 TIMES FOR DEDUCTIBLES AND NOW THE VEHICLE STILL HAS AN OIL LEAK. THANK YOU.

DOOR SMART GLASS SELF CYCLING AND/OR BATTERY DRAIN WHEN MY 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER IS PARKED AND IGNITION KEY OFF, I AM EXPERIENCING CONDITION WHERE THE DOOR SMART GLASS FEATURE CYCLES ON ITS OWN LEADING WHICH TO BATTERY DRAIN. THIS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING SINCE PURCHASING THE. I HAVE BEEN JUMPING IT OFF AND RECHARGING THE BATTERY. THIS IS THE SECOND BATTERY THAT I HAVE PURCHASED.TO HAVE THE ISSUE REPAIRED , THE SERVICE WILL COST ME OVER $700.00 TO REPLACE BOTH DOORS LATCH/SWITCH.

CHALLENGERS STEERING ALWAYS GOES OUT. THEIR ARE FORUMS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THE HORRIBLE STEERING ISSUES OF DODGE VEHICLE RANGING FROM BRAND NEW MODELS TO OLDER MODELS. THIS ISSUES MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO TURN WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ALSO THE BOOK INSIDE THE CHALLENGERS SHOW THAT THERE IS A POWER STEERING RESERVOIR BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE ONE SO EVEN IF LOW FLUID WAS AN ISSUE WE COULD NOT FIX THAT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MULTIPLE LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH ACROSS THE DASHBOARD. THE ODOMETER MOVED FREELY BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT GIVING AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT OF SPEED. (VIDEO TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD)

MY DOOR DOESNT REALIZE ITS SHUT SO MY SMART WINDOW GOES UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN UNTIL BATTERY IS DRAINED. HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. WAS RECALLED ON 2012 MODEL. MY BRAKES OR BRAKE AREA SQUEALS WHEN IM PRESSING THE BRAKES TO STOP. I HAVE NEW ROTORS AND BRAKES, STOPS FOR ABOUT A WEEK EVEN HAVE HAD RTHEM RESURFACED. LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS IN THE CHALLENGER FORUM.

SMART GLASS DRAINING BATTERY, TAKATA INFLATOR RECALL, TIMING CHAIN RECALL AND ALTERNATOR RECALL IN DEC 2017 MY DODGE CHALLENGER 13' RAN OUT OF BATTERY & WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THERE WERE 2 RECALLS, ONE BEING AN ALTERNATOR, CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN AND NOT ABLE TO BE JUMPED. AFTER 1.5 MONTHS OF TALKING TO CHRYSLER FCA RECALLS ABOUT HOW TO GET THE RECALL WORK COMPLETE, MY CAR ARRIVED AT COVERT DODGE IN AUSTIN IN JAN 2018 (I PAID FOR TOW OUT OF POCKET). FROM DEC TO MAR 20TH, I WAS WITHOUT A CAR AND COVERT /FCA WOULD NOT PUT ME IN A RENTAL WHILE WAITING ON BACK ORDERED PARTS. ON MAR 20TH, THEY PUT ME IN A RENTAL VEHICLE. APR 20TH FCA CALLED TO TELL ME: 1) ALL 3 RECALLS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED 2) THE SMART GLASS WINDOW MODULE, WHICH IS ACTUALLY WHAT IS CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN, IS STILL ON BACKORDER (ETA MAY 29, BUT NOT A FIRM ETA AND THIS PART HAS BEEN ON BACKORDER SINCE JAN) BUT THE CAR CAN BE DRIVEN WITHOUT OPERABLE WINDOWS, 3) I NEED TO RETURN THE RENTAL IN 2 DAYS AND PICK UP MY CAR. I STATED THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE A CAR WITH INOPERABLE WINDOWS (GETTING PULLED OVER AND HAVING TO OPEN MY DOOR TO TALK TO THE POLICE, EXTREMELY HOT WEATHER IN TEXAS AND NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE WINDOWS, LITTLE KIDS AND CAR SICKNESS, UNABLE TO USE DRIVE-THROUGH ANYTHING, ETC). THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT HE CAN'T COMMENT ON SAFETY, BUT THE CAR IS DRIVABLE. THE CASE MANAGER AT FCA SAID THAT SHE CAN ONLY ADDRESS SAFETY CONCERNS IN BULLETINS FROM FCA. THE SMART GLASS WINDOW MODULE HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR ME SINCE JAN 2018 AND NO CONFIRMED ETA. THIS PART HAS BEEN RECALLED ON 2012 AND 2011 CHALLENGER AND MULTIPLE OTHER MOPAR PART CARS. THERE IS A LONG LIST OF PEOPLE WAITING FOR THIS PART (PROBABLY 1000S), MANY DUE TO A RECALL. IN THE MEANTIME, I'M EXPECTED TO USE MY CAR WITHOUT WORKING WINDOWS - MEANING WINDOWS HAVE TO BE CLOSED AND CAN NOT OPEN.

THE SMART GLASS WHICH IS CAUSED BY THE DOOR LATCH IN THE VEHICLE WILL MALFUNCTION AND WHILE THE VEHICLE IS OFF WILL CYCLE UP AND DOWN CAUSING THE WINDOWS TO GO UP AND DOWN AND CAUSES BATTERY TO DRAIN WHILE PARKED AND DRIVING REFER TO 2011-12 DODGE CHALLENGER SMART GLASS RECALL

IN MY CAR MY ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM JUST CAME ON WITH THE TRACTION LIGHT AND WILL NOT GO OFF IT JUST CAME ON ITSELF AND WHEN IT RAINS IT'S LIKE I RIDE ON TOP OF THE RAIN IT BE ON THE HIGHWAY AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS..IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS SITUATION
