2015 Dodge Challenger Complaint Log

THE CAR WAS PARKED AND NOT ON. WHEN THE KEY FOB WAS HIT TO UNLOCK THE CAR THE PANEL BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND PASSENGER DOOR CAUGHT ON FIRE. THIS ALSO CAUSED THE SUNROOF TO JAR OPEN.

THE BRAKE ANTILOCK WHEEL SPEED SENSORS ON THE FRONT WHEELS LOCKED INTO SKID MODE AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 4 MILES AN HOUR. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND PULLED OUT ON TO THE MAIN ROAD I COULD NOT GO OVER 4 MILES AN HOUR. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED SINCE THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE ROAD WAS 40 MPH. I WAS TOLD THE SENSORS WERE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I LIMPED THE CAR BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THE CAR OUT OF THAT MODE UNTIL THEY REPLACED THE SENSORS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 7200 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER. -THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING FUNCTION DID NOT WORK.WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. -NO PULSATING WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED ( WET PAVEMENT ) -ABS ( ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM -THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN TO MERGE ON TO A HIGHWAY ( WT GROUND ), THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT PULSATE AND TRAVELED ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED AND WAS DRIVEN TO THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1900.

THE RIGHT SHIFTER PADDLE ON THE STEERING WHEEL WILL INTERMITTENTLY DOWNSHIFT SEVERAL GEARS INSTEAD OF UPSHIFTING WHEN THE PADDLE IS PRESSED. THE SYSTEM WILL ALSO DOWNSHIFT UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN THE RIGHT PADDLE SHIFTER IS HELD DOWN TO CHANGE OVER TO THE AUTOMATIC DRIVE SYSTEM. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE I STARTED USING THE PADDLE SHIFTERS AROUND 30,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE UNEXPECTED DOWNSHIFTING CONSISTENTLY SLAMS THE VEHICLE TO ALMOST A STOP, ABRUPTLY FORCING ANY OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE INTO THE SEATBELTS. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OCCASIONS WHERE VEHICLES HAVE ALMOST HIT MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE CAR SHIFTS DOWN SEVERAL GEARS AT ONCE AND SLOWS SUDDENLY WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO SLID IN WET CONDITIONS WHEN IT HAS OCCURRED. DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO OPERATE THE PADDLE SHIFTERS AT HIGH SPEED IN FEAR OF MY OWN SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. IF THE VEHICLE WAS TO DOWNSHIFT SEVERAL GEARS AT SPEED IN WET CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD LIKELY SLIDE OUT OF CONTROL. ADDITIONALLY, THE HARD SHIFTING IS LIKELY CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE TRANSMISSION, DRIVE COMPONENTS AND TIRES. THE VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THIS ISSUE 8 TIMES WITH NO PERMANENT FIX. THERE ARE MANY ARTICLES AND FORUM REPORTS ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE WITH DODGE CHALLENGER VEHICLES, BUT DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FORUMS AND CLAIMS THEY ONLY ADDRESS ISSUES SEPARATELY WITH EACH CUSTOMER. THIS ISSUE HAS LEFT ME WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR MONTHS AT A TIME AND IS A CONSTANT SAFETY HAZARD IF THE PADDLE SHIFTERS ARE OPERATED. THIS ISSUE IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD TO THE OCCUPANTS AND OTHER DRIVERS SINCE DOWNSHIFTING 2-3 GEARS AT ONCE CAN BE THE SAME AS SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES, ESPECIALLY IN WET CONDITIONS. HERE IS AN ARTICLE THAT PERTAINS TO THIS ISSUE: HTTPS://WWW.HOTCARS.COM/CHARGER-CHALLENGER-DEFECT-PADDLE-SHIFTERS/ THANKS FOR YOUR HELP! *TR

UNABLE TO SEE SPEED AT ZERO, GAUGES AREN'T WORKING.

ELECTRICAL SHORT IN DASH ON PASSENGER SIDE LEADING TO FIRE AND A COMPLETE LOSS OF VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN SMOKE WAS NOTED IN THE CABIN. WITHIN 40 SECONDS CAR WAS PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND 911 CALLED. VEHICLE LOSS WAS ON 7-15-2019.

MY CARS TEMPERATURE GAUGE FLICKERS UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING . I TOOK IT IN ONCE FOR REPAIR BUT IT STILL CONTINUES DOING THIS . THE CAR DOES THIS WHENEVER THE ENGINE IS ON WHETHER IT'S RUNNING OR STATIONARY . ALSO THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT HAS ELECTRIC PROBLEMS . IT TURNS OFF AND ON WHENEVER IT WANTS TO. BUT IT STAYS OFF MORE THAN IT STAYS ON .

DRIVING HOME IN RAIN AND GOT OFF HIGHWAY SERVICE RAMP. AS SOON AS I TURNED RIGHT THE CAR DIED. IT SAID MY KEY FOB BATTERY WAS LOW AND WOULD NOT RESTART. MY SON BROUGHT UP MY OTHER KEY FOB AND IT STILL WOULD NOT START. NO WARNING WHATSOEVER CAME ON STATING ANYTHING WAS WRONG. COULD NOT GET CAR IN NEUTRAL EVEN AFTER RELEASING THE SHIFT INNER LOCK. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO MY HOUSE.

REAR END HAS GONE OUT TWICE AND AGAIN IS HOWLING. WHEN USING PADDLE SHIFTERS THE RIGHT SIDE IS TO UPSHIFT, IT OFTEN DOWNSHIFTS INSTEAD. DODGE HAS CHANGED OUT PADDLE SHIFTERS 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS BUT ISSUE CONTINUES. ITS AN ABRUPT DOWNSHIFT WHILE IN MOTION TRYING TO UPSHIFT. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS ISSUE THAT HAPPENS OFTEN

WHILE OPERATING NORMALLY, APPROXIMATELY 35-65 MPH BOTH HIGHWAY AND COUNTY ROADS, ON THE WAY TO WORK, THE SERVICE ABS & STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS CAME IN, STEERING AND BRAKING WERE AFFECTED. BRAKE SYSTEM STARTED PULSING AND STEERING SYSTEM VIBRATED. 20 SECONDS LATER, WENT AWAY. ON THE WAY HOME, IT REPEATED THIS 4X WITHIN 35 MILES OF TRAVEL. WENT TO DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY FOR ISSUE. THEY CLAIMED IT TO BE A FAULTY WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. REPLACED SENSOR. 49,575 MILES AT TIME OF SERVICE. A $42 PART ENDED UP COSTING $310 TO GET FIXED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS THING TO HAPPEN TO FAIRLY NEW CAR. CAR HAS NEVER SEEN SNOW OR SALT. GARAGE KEPT IN WINTER MONTHS. THIS AFFECTED THE BRAKING AND STEERING SYSTEMS. 2 OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SYSTEMS ON A VEHICLE IN ORDER TO OPERATE SAFELY ON THE ROAD. I AM THE 3RD PERSON I KNOW OF WHO'S HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME YEAR DODGE. THIS SHOULD BE A FACTORY RECALL ON ALL THE SENSORS FOR THESE SYSTEMS TO BE REPLACED.

PASSENGER HEADLIGHT DOESN'T ALWAYS COME ON. FUSE, BULB & WIRING HAS BEEN INSPECTED & IS WORKING. SOMETIMES THE HEADLIGHT WORKS & SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. BEING THAT IS DOESN'T GIVE ANY ERROR CODES WHEN THE DEALERSHIP CONNECTS TO THE VEHICLE, THEY CAN'T FIX IT OR HAVE A CLUE TO WHERE TO START TO INVESTIGATE.ITS HAPPENS OFTEN DOESN'T MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THERE ARE MANY FORUMS ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH NO REAL SOLUTION. IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE LIKE THIS & ITS AN UNNECESSARY TRAFFIC TICKET RISK. WHEN I CONTACTED COOPERATE ABOUT THIS ISSUE THEY WERE CARELESS ABOUT THE WHOLE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT QUICKLY ACTIVATED THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON TO RESET THE COMPUTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTH CHICAGO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (7340 S WESTERN AVE, CHICAGO, IL 60636, (773) 476-7800) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO WARRANTY OR RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A LIGHT POST. THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONTAL AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUFFERED BACK ACHES, BUT DID NOT RECEIVE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. *DT*JB

WHILE DRIVING HOME ON THE WASHINGTON CAPILTAL BELTWAY WITH MY SUNROOF FULLY RETRACTED IT WAS A LOUD BOOM AND EXPLODED. THERE WERE SMALL PIECES OF GLASS ON ME AND MY SEAT AS WELL AS GLASS ALL WITHIN THE INSIDE PORTION OF MY CAR.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER ARE USELESS. I CAN BARELY SEE 5FT IN FRONT OF MY CAR WITH LOW AND HIGH BEAMS ON. I HAVE TRIED BUYING NEW HEADLIGHTS 3X AND NOTHING HAS HELPED. IT IS SO HARD TO SEE THE ROAD ONCE THE SUN GOES DOWN. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS CAME ON ALL OF A SUDDEN. MY CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS NORMAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED TO SERVICE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THE DEALER LANDERS MCLARTY DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (6533 UNIVERSITY DR NW, HUNTSVILLE, AL 35806, 256-864-7475) WAS CONTACTED AND INDICATED THAT THERE WAS 1 RECALL FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V282000 (AIR BAGS), STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT YET BEEN SCHEDULED FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE 1 AIR BAG RECALL AND 1 AIR BAG TSB ISSUED FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE DEALER HAD PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING THE CONTACT TO GIVE THE APPROVAL FOR THE DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING TO DETERMINE IF THEY MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED YET. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR SEVERAL MILES, MY WIFE PULLED INTO A SHOPPING CENTER FROM THE RIGHT LANE OF TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO JUST SHUT OFF. THE DASH DISPLAY INFORMED HER TO PUT THE SHIFT LEVER INTO PARK AND THEN SELECT THE DISIRE GEAR. LUCKLY THERE WERE NO CARS DIRECTLY BEHIND HER WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A STOP. SHEI SELECTED 'PARK' AND THEN 'DRIVE' WHICH SEEMED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AFTER THIS UNWARRENTED AND SCARRY INSIDENT. THE CAR HAS 13816 MILES AND IS STILL UNDER WARENTY. SHE HAS MADE A DEALER APPOINTMENT, BUT WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH EVENTS MAKING IT UNCLEAR IF THE DEALER WILL BE ABLE TO RESOLVE SUCH INCIDENT.

THE AC DOES NOT TURN OFF AT TIMES, AND WILL TURN ON EVEN IF I HAVE CHOSEN VENTS ONLY. FCA HAS REPROGRAMMED THE CLIMATE CONTROL BUT THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS.

I WAS TRAVELING TO WORK ON A BUSY, 3-LANE ROAD. I WAS IN THE FAR-RIGHT LANE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, WAITING TO CONTINUE STRAIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF AND THE DISPLAY INFORMED ME TO PUT MY CAR IN P (PARK) AND THEN BACK INTO THE DESIRED GEAR. I PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND COASTED INTO THE CLOSEST PARKING LOT OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHERE I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND THEN STARTED IT BACK UP AGAIN. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, THERE SEEMED TO BE NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY SCARY SITUATION FOR ME AND I WAS THANKFUL TO BE IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE WHEN IT HAPPENED, THANKFUL I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP WHEN IT HAPPENED, AND THANKFUL NOBODY WAS INJURED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT DODGE NEEDS TO ADDRESS AND GET FIXED. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE PLACED FOR THE SAFETY OF THOSE ON THE ROADS.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO BE A PROBLEM THREE YEARS LATER. FIRST DRIVER LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY WORK. I WOULD TAKE TO DEALER THEY WOULD REPLACE HEADLAMP AND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WOULD WORK FOR DAYS/WEEKS. CONTINUED TO HAVE ISSUE FINALLY DEALER FIXED ISSUE BY REPLACING BALLAST AND LAMP. SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT. I'VE REPEATEDLY TOLD DEALER THIS IS NOT MY FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE AND THEY NEED TO BRING TO THE ATTENTION OF MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE IS ONE BIG ELECTRICAL DISASTER. THE RADIO SYSTEM HAS BEEN REPLACED THE ENTIRE AC HAS BEEN REPLACED.

2015 DODGE CHALLENGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NHTSA SAFETY RECALL 18V-332. *LD *JS

I PURCHASED A USED 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER SCAT PACK WITH 6800 MILES. THE RADIATOR STARTED LEAKING AT 7100 MILES. I FOUND THE LEAK AFTER HIGHWAY DRIVING. A PUDDLE FORMED UNDER THE PASSENGER FRONT CORNER OF THE CAR. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE IT SINCE THE OEM WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE A RECALL IS NECESSARY AND A POSSIBLE REVAMPING OF THE RADIATOR SO THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO FUTURE OWNERS.

TURN SIGNAL PROBLEM. TURN SIGNAL BLINKS TO FAST OCCUPANIED BY A CHIME THAT INDICATES A LIGHT OUTAGE. WHILE DRIVING, THE LIGHT TURNS ON AUTOMACTICALLY FOR SHORT PERIODS AT A TIME. I ALMOST RAN OF THE ROAD BECAUSE I THOUGHT MY LIGHTS WERE OUT. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I START MY VEHICLE AND THIE LIGHT CHIME COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AS WELL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE INVOLVING THIS ISSUE.

THE STEERING COLUMN STARTING MAKING A LOW PITCHED WHINING SOUND FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS. THE CAR WAS STOPPED AND PARKED AND THE WARNING CAME ON ABOUT THE SERVICING THE POWER STEERING AND NOW THE CAR HAS NO POWER STEERING. CODES: U11E8-00- & U0001-00- AND THE CAR IS NOW 1500 MILES BEYOND THE WARRANTY. WE ARE GOING TO PUSH TO THE GET THIS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY BUT AT 37K MILES THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN, AND AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THIS APPARENTLY IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING MODULE LOCATED ON THE THE RACK AND PINON AND THE WHOLE THING WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL AS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD.

LETTER REGARDING THE DEPLOYMENT OF HIS AIRBAGS IN HIS 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED, BUT THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THE VEHICLE DID NOT DECELERATE AT A NECESSARY RATE IN ORDER FOR THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. *JS

MY 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER SCAT PACK HAS DEVELOPED A RADIATOR LEAK THAT SEEMS TO LOSE COOLANT WHEN DRIVING. I HAD FIRST NOTICED THE COOLANT LEVEL DROPPING BACK IN DECEMBER, 2017 WHILE MY CAR WAS IN STORAGE. IT WAS BROUGHT INTO FIELDS DODGE WHO DIAGNOSED THE LEAK BUT COULD NOT TELL ME WHERE EXACTLY THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM. I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY REFUSED TO OFFER ANYTHING ON RESOLVING THIS ISSUE EVEN THOUGH MY WARRANTY EXPIRED 3 DAYS AGO ON MARCH 12TH, 2018. THEY DO HAVE A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING RADIATOR LEAK PROBLEMS BUT THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT, EVEN FOR CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE LOW MILEAGE BUT EXPIRED WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER MENTIONED THE LEAK MAY BE COMING FROM A SEAM BETWEEN THE PLASTIC AND ALUMINUM. THE RADIATOR IS OF INFERIOR QUALITY AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHERS ON CHALLENGER FORUMS WHO HAVE MENTIONED RADIATOR PROBLEMS ON THEIR CHALLENGERS.

CAR IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES- WHEN EMERGENCY BREAK IS SET AND THE ENGINE IS OFF AND IN PARK THE CAR WILL STILL ROLL BY ITSELF. COMPLAINED TO DODGE, DODGE SAYS SOFTWARE ISSUE AND IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. STILL HAPPENING, I AM LUCKY IT DID NOT HIT A CAR BUT TODAY (2/22/18) IT HIT A TREE- ROLLED 2 FEET BACK. THERE IS A RECALL OUT THERE FOR THE 2017 MODEL BUT I REALLY FEEL MULTIPLE YEARS ARE EFFECTED. ACTUAL CAR IS A SCAT PACK. WHEN I LOOKED ON LINE SEVERAL PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH A CHALLENGER ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE, ALSO WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE BODY WORK BUT I FEEL DODGE SHOULD BE LIABLE.

2015 challenger, wheel speed sensor failures starting at year two. Have replaced wheel speed sensors on 5 separate occasions. It has affected all wheel speed sensors and fron passenger replaced twice. All replacement parts are from dealer and are geniuine mopar replacements. Seems to be a very common issue, the parts are typically on backorder and it can be caused simply by going through a car wash.

I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ON A 4 LANE CITY STREET AND HIT A POT HOLE AFTER HITTING THE POT HOLE MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND NOTICED MY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WAS BOWED OUT AND THE CAR COULD NO LONGER BE DRIVEN. AFTER HAVING A TOW TRUCK COME TO THE SCENE I WAS TOLD THE STEERING KNUCKLE HAD BROKEN IN HALF AND THE WHEEL ALMOST COMPLETELY DETACHED.

COMPLETE AND SUDDEN LOSS OF BOTH HEADLIGHTS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. DEALER, IN DISCUSSION WITH FCA HQ, SUGGESTS CAUSE IS RELATED TO FRONT TURN SIGNAL ELECTRONICS ASSOCIATED WITH A SINGLE FRONT TURN INDICATOR, WHICH OTHERWISE FUNCTIONS NORMALLY. AT THIS TIME DODGE HAS NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE AND THE CAR IS DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE BY THE DEALERSHIP. OWNER HAS CONTACTED FCA TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF TOTAL UNWARNED HEADLIGHT LOSS - WHICH IS INTERMITTANT - AS A SAFETY ISSUE. LIGHTS OTHERWISE STILL WORK AND COME BACK ON BY THEMSELVES AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, SUGGESTING PROBLEM WITH BODY CONTROL UNIT FUNCTION OR FAILSAFE DESIGN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT SLID FORWARD. TRI LAKES MOTORS DEALER OF BRANSON, MISSOURI WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT TRACK BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE, THE OEM LUG WRENCH DID NOT FIT CORRECTLY INTO THE LUG HOLES. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE WHEEL. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOVING A TIRE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

2015 DODGE CHALLENGER RT SCAT PACK FAULTY OIL SENSOR. WAS REPORTED IN EARLIER MODEL CHALLENGER FROM 2014-2015. THIS IS ON THE 392 SRT MOTOR CAUSE OIL PRESSURE TO DROP SUDDENLY WHILE IN MOTION.

4 JULY 2017, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, VEHICLE FAULT INDICATORS SHOWING PROBLEM WITH STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, ABS SYSTEM, AND DISABLED CRUISE CONTROL. FAULTS CLEARED APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS LATER. 5 JULY 2017, VEHICLE AGAIN DISPLAYED SAME FAULTS, HOWEVER, FAULTS REMAINED LATCHED (DID NOT SELF CLEAR). I CONTACTED LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, FAULT WAS DIAGNOSED ON 6 JULY 2017 AS A FAILED RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. SERVICE DEPARTMENT PLACED NEEDED PART ON ORDER, RETURNED KEYS TO ME AND ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE TO BRING VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR ON 7 JULY 2017. WHILE CONTINUING ON TO PLACE OF WORK, FAULTS RETURNED, THEN CLEARED. AT THE END OF DAY, 6 JULY, WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT NORMAL APPROACH SPEEDS AND APPLIED BRAKES. FRONT BRAKES INITIALLY OPERATED AS NORMAL, THEN WITHIN A SECOND OR SO, LOST BRAKE PRESSURE...I FELT THE ABS SYSTEM RELEASE THE BRAKES, CAUSING ME TO EXERT ENORMOUS PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITHIN A FEW FEET OF THE STOP SIGN TO GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED FROM ONLY A FEW MPH. ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS 55 MPH. AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED (BARELY)..THEN THE SAME FAULTS APPEARED. FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, THE INTERMITTENT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CAUSED THE FRONT ABS SYSTEM TO ACTIVATE ON A DRY ROAD, ESSENTIALLY DISABLING MY FRONT BRAKES WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF BRAKING. THIS IS NOT AN EXPECTED FAILURE MODE. I UNDERSTAND ONBOARD DIAGNOSTICS INDICATING THE PROBLEMS ABOVE, HOWEVER, IT APPEARS THAT IF THIS PROBLEM TAKES PLACE WHILE BRAKING, BRAKE PERFORMANCE IS COMPROMISED. THIS IS NOW THE SECOND WHEEL SPEED SENSOR TO BE REPLACED IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR SO. FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, THAT MEANS THAT THIS IS A HIGH FAILURE RATE ITEM (LAST ONE WAS ON THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL), AND IF IT HAPPENS WHILE BRAKING...I ESSENTIALLY LOSE BRAKING AT THE PRECISE MOMENT BRAKES ARE NEEDED. I CONSIDER THIS A DESIGN ISSUE. REDUNDANT SENSORS RECOMMENDED FOR ABS.

ISSUE #1 VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER WHILE STATIONARY ON A CITY STREET WITH NO INDICATION OR WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE WAITING TO ENTER THE INTERSECTION. THE CAR TURNS OFF COMPLETELY AND SAYS TO PLACE CAR IN PARK. ISSUE #2 THIS ISSUE ALWAYS OCCURS WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STATIONARY STATE; VEHICLE JUMPS WITH LITTLE PRESSURE ON GAS, THEN POWER DIPS DOWN, THEN BACK UP OVER AND OVER. THE CAR RESEMBLES A BUCKING RODEO HORSE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT A POWER DIP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION INHIBITS THE CARS ABILITY TO CLEAR AN INTERSECTION SAFELY.

I OWN A 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STALL AND DISPLAY "COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SELECT THE APPROPRIATE GEAR." THIS HAS HAPPENED 10-15 TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES. ON THE SECOND VISIT THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND VALVE BODY. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ONLY 4 BLOCKS AWAY AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AND DISPLAYED THE SAME ERROR. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE WHAT IS HAPPENING, SO THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AT APPROXIMATELY 16,000 MILES.
