2007 Dodge Charger Complaint Log

ON THE ABOVE DATE DURING INSPECTION OF VEHICLE IT WAS DETERMINED THE VEHICLE HAS ABNORMAL FRAME ROT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE UNSAFE. VEHICLE IS A POLICE CAR. THE TOWN TO SOUTH FIVE MILES AND TOWN TO EAST 2MILES HAS SAME CARS SINCE DISCOVERED IDENTICAL ROT. ANOTHER TOWN 25 MILES HAS SAME PROBLEM (ALL POLICE CARS) I HAVE SPOKE WITH DODGE AND THEN ARE AWARE AND OFFERING TO PAY HALF TO REPAIR. THESE ARE VERY POPULAR CARS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND MODELS RUN 06-10. I FEEL THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE ESPECIALLY FOR POLICE USE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSES. I FIND IS ALL TO INTERESTING THAT FOUR CARS WITH 25 MILES HAS SAME ISSUE MAKE ALL CARS NOT SERVICEABLE . ALL TOWN ARE SMALL POLICE DEPT AND LOSS OF THESE CARS IN HURTING OUR EFFORTS TO PROVIDE FOR THE COMMUNITY. DODGE HAS GIVEN OUR DEPT 30 DAYS TO ACCEPT OFFER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER AND MY MOTOR WAS LOCK-UP. I DID NOT KNOW FOR SURE TILL I TOOK IT TO DODGE AND I HAD TO PAY THEM FOR THIS SERVICE. ALTHOUGH THEY DID TELL ME HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST FOR ANOTHER MOTOR 8500 LIKE REALLY. FURTHERMORE,THE PROBLEM WAS THE COOLING SYSTEM WHICH GAVE NO SIGN OR WARNING TIL THE ENGINE LOCK-UP. THEREFORE I PURCHASED A USE ENGINE SAME YEAR AND MODEL FOR MY 5.7 HEMI MOTOR WHICH DODGE REFUSE TO GIVE A WARRANTY ON BUT THEY MAKE THEM. SAD. I BOUGHT A NEW RADIATOR CLEAN/FLUSHED MY COOLING SYSTEM. NOW THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE MOTOR I JUST WAS ABLE TO PUT IN SAME PROBLEM COOLING SYSTEM. PLEASE HELP OR LET ME TRADE MY CAR IN. I HONESTLY THINK DODGE SHOULD RECALL THESE CARS BECAUSE THEY BUILT SOME POOR MOTOR AND EXPECT HARD WORKING PEOPLE TO PAY FOR THEIR POOR JUDGEMENT IN BUILDING THESE PRETTY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS; HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION LOCK SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 176,000.

WHILE MY CAR WAS IDLING THE ELECTRIC COOLING FAN CAME APART AND THE FAN BLADES IMPALED INTO MY RADIATOR. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER I CRANKED THE CAR AND BEFORE I GOT ON THE INTERSTATE. I LEARNED THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND WILL PAY FOR SOME CARS TO BE REPAIRED. THIS IS IN CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTICE L-08 FROM CHRYSLER. I WAS TOLD MY CAR FIT THE CRITERIA OF THIS NOTICE, YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, ETC. EXCEPT THE NOTICE SAYS "SEVERE DUTY" FAN MODULE AND ACCORDING TO THE MAN ON THE PHONE MY CAR HAS A "HEAVY DUTY" MODULE. MY CAR DID EXACTLY WHAT THE OTHER CARS THAT WERE COVERED DID. SO BASICALLY CHRYSLER IS SAYING IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR MY FAN TO COME APART AND SLING PIECES INTO MY RADIATOR AND NO TELLING WHAT ELSE BECAUSE MY HEMI 5.7 HAS A HEAVY DUTY PIECE ON THE FAN BUT IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR THE SEVERE DUTY PIECE ON THE SAME CAR TO DO IT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF IT HAD HAPPENED AT 70 MPH AND FOR THE NOTICE TO HAVE BEEN WRITTEN IN THE FIRST PLACE SOMEONE WAS AWARE OF THAT. THIS NOTICE OR RECALL MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

UNSAFE VEHICLE DUE TO AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING NOT BEING REPLACED THOUGH RECALLED MANY MONTHS AGO BY MANUFACTURER. CHRYSLER CORPORATION IS GIVING US NO UPDATES AS TO WHEN THE PROPER PARTS WILL BE READY FOR IMMEDIATE SERVICE....THIS IS HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE! THE DAILY ANXIETY THEY ARE PUTTING CONSUMERS THROUGH IS RIDICULOUS. THEY TELL US DON'T DRIVE THE CAR IF YOU ARE CONCERNED BUT WE HAVE TO USE THESE VEHICLES TO DRIVE TO WORK ETC...PLEASE TRY TO FIND OUT WHERE THEY ARE IN SOLVING THESE CRITICAL PROBLEMS ! I HAVE ASKED BOTH THE LOCAL DEALER AND THE NATIONAL CHRYSLER CORP AND NEITHER WILL PROVIDE AN ANSWER! *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT 40+ MPH I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ALL THE WAY, THE DODGE CHARGER DID NOT REACT AND KEPT ACCELERATING AT THE NORMAL RATE BEFORE I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. SINCE IT WAS NOT REACTING TO MY INPUT, I TOOK MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE VEHICLE KEPT ACCELERATING AT A CONSTANT RATE. THEN AFTER TWO SECONDS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT FULL THROTTLE, AND CONTINUED TO SPEED UP AT FULL THROTTLE. BRAKES WERE PRESSED BUT SEEMED TO HAVE ZERO EFFECT ON THE VEHICLE'S UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION. FINALLY I DECIDED TO PULL OVER TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND IT CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE.

ON JUNE 2, 2014 I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WAITING TO TURN WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY WHAT FELT LIKE SOMETHING FALLING OUT OF MY MOTOR. ONCE I TURNED I TURNED OFF ONTO THE SERVICE ROAD TO CHECK WHAT HAPPENED. MY CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO OVER HEAT AND MY GAGE WENT FROM IN BETWEEN THE COOL RANGE TO HOT RANGE. I DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR ANY FURTHER IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANY UNNECESSARY DAMAGES. I CALLED MY HUSBAND WHO THEN CAME TO GET ME AND CHECK THE PROBLEM. HE NOTICED THAT THE FANS ON THE COOLING SYSTEM WERE NOT WORKING. ONE COMPLETELY LOCKED WHICH CAUSED SOME OF THE FANS TO BREAK AND THE OTHER JUST STOPPED WORKING. I LOOKED ON LINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY SIMILAR OCCURRENCES OF THIS HAPPENING. I CAME UPON CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE NOTIFICATION L08, WHICH IMPLIES THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED ON OVER 55,000 VEHICLES. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS HAD THEM LOOK INTO IT. ACCORDING TO THE NOTIFICATION IT STATES THAT ONLY THE SEVERE COOLING SYSTEMS ON 2006-2008 DODGE CHARGERS ARE HAVING THIS OCCUR. MY VEHICLE IS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER 3.5 L V6 WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE CUSTOMER SERVICE NOTIFICATION SINCE IT ONLY CARRIES THE HEAVY DUTY COOLING SYSTEM. SO MY DEALERSHIP WILL NOT COVER THE COST TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING ON LIKE MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLES. HOWEVER, DURING OPERATION MY COOLING LOCKED AND STOPPED WORKING. I AM UNSURE HOW MANY MORE VEHICLES HAVE HAD THIS OCCUR TO THEM BUT UPON RESEARCHING IT HAS AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR. *TR
