MY SON AND I WERE TRAVELING HOME IN CHARLESTON WV. WE MERGED ONTO THE PATRICK ST BRIDGE IN THE LEFT LANE. THERE WAS A DISABLED VEHICLE IN THE LANE THAT DID NOT HAVE ON IT'S HAZARD LIGHTS. DUE TO RAIN AND WET CONDITIONS, WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR HYDROPLANED AND HIT DEAD CENTER IN THE REAR OF THE 2006 FORD EXPLORER THAT WAS DISABLED. THE CRASHED CAUSED THE REAR OF MY CAR TO LIFT SLIGHTLY OFF THE GROUND AND MOVED ALL FRONT END COMPONENTS FROM THE GRILL TO THE RADIATOR ETC... INTO THE ENGINE. THIS SHIFTED THE ENGINE BACKWARDS, CRUMPLED BOTH FENDERS, AND ALSO THE HOOD. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL FOR EITHER PASSENGER SIDE FOR MY SON OR DRIVER SIDE FOR MYSELF. NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THE CRASH. THE CAR IS BEING CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS AT THIS TIME. EVERYONE I HAVE SPOKEN TO ARE SHOCKED THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WITH THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE THE IMPACT CAUSED. I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2011-2012 DODGE CHARGERS FOR AIRBAGS BUT I DID NOT SEE A RECALL FOR MY MAKE OR MODEL. I WILL BE FOLLOWING UP WITH DODGE ALSO TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 95,000 MILE I HAD MY ROCKER ARM SHAFT LIFTER ASSEMBLY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO A BROKEN ROCKER ARM AND LOUD KNOCKING NOISES COMING FROM MY ENGINE. 10,000 MILES LATER A ROCKER ARM BROKE ON THE NEW ASSEMBLY. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND IT IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH DODGE CHARGER 3.5L ENGINES. THERE IS A DEFECTIVE PART IN THE ASSEMBLY THAT CAUSES THE ROCKER ARM TO BREAK. PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED THIS ITEM IN THEIR ENGINE NUMEROUS TIMES. THE ROCKER ARM SHAFT LIFTER ASSEMBLY SHOULD BE RECALLED. PEOPLE PAY OVER $1500 FOR THIS REPAIR JUST TO HAVE FAULTY PARTS INSTALLED AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH DODGE'S 3.5L ENGINE. *TR

AN OVERWHELMING SMELL OF GAS STARTING AROUND 9/6/14. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE STANDARD OIL CHANGE AND ADVISED THAT I SMELLED GAS. THEY INDICATED THAT WHEN CHANGING THE OIL THEY WOULD PERFORM A PRELIMINARY CHECK. AT THAT TIME THEY DIDN'T NOTICE ANY VISIBLE LEAKS AND SCHEDULED ME AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING THE CAR BACK IN ON 9/15/14 IF THE CAR STILL SMELLED OF GAS AND DID NOT GO AWAY. THE SMELL EVENTUALLY WENT AWAY, BUT START NOTICING ANYTIME THE CAR WAS FILLED UP WITH GAS THE SMELL WOULD RETURN ON 9/30/14 FILLED THE CAR UP WITH GAS AND BY THE TIME I MADE IT HOME IT WAS POURING GAS NEAR THE LEFT PASSENGER REAR. FURTHER OBSERVATION SHOWED THAT THERE IS A LEAK IN THE GAS LINE. I HAVE SCHEDULED IN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IT BACK TO HE DEALERSHIP WITH THE 1ST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT 10/8/14. I WAS ADVISED TO NOT DRIVE AS THE CAR CAN POSSIBLY IGNITE. IT IS NOW PARKED IN THE GARAGE. IT IS HOT. NOT SURE IF THE GARAGE SHOULD BE OPENED TO GIVE AIR OR IF OPENING THE GARAGE WILL ALLOW SUNLIGHT THAT MAY COULD CAUSE FUMES TO IGNITE. THE GARAGE SMELLS OF GAS AND THE FUMES ARE NOW IN MY HOME. DO WE KNOW OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE DODGE CHARGER AND GAS LINE LEAKS. *TR

I HAD A FLAT TIRE AND TRIED TO REMOVE IT AND PUT THE SPARE ON BUT COULD NOT GET THE LUGS NUTS OFF BECAUSE THE TIRE WRENCH NO LONGER FIT THEM. I HAD TO GET CAR TRANSPORTED TO DODGE DEALERSHIP BY FLAT BED. WHEN WE GOT THERE THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON DODGE CHARGERS, CHALLENGERS, AND CHRYSLER 300'S. THE LUG NUT IS MANUFACTURED IN TWO PARTS, AND THE OUTER PART SWELLS MAKING THE LUG NUT DEFECTIVE. SO THEREFORE THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO PRY THEM OFF. WHEN THEY CHECKED THE OTHER LUG NUTS THEY WERE ALL BAD DUE TO A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A PRODUCT OF DODGE AND THEREFORE THEIR FAULT AND WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THEY CHARGED ME OVER $350.00 TO REPLACE ALL OF THESE LUG NUTS. I FEEL THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE AND COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE ME TO BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE IF I HAVE A FLAT TIRE, BECAUSE I CANNOT CHANGE IT MYSELF DUE TO THIS DEFECT. I AM THANKFUL THAT THIS HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY OR ELSE I WOULD BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITH NO WAY OF PUTTING THE SPARE ON. I FEEL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS FAULTY DESIGN. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN ONE YEAR - THE NO. 2 CYLINDER HAS BROKE. THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT TELL ME WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. BUT THEY DID TELL ME THAT ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE REBUILT - NO NEW PARTS. THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS. ALSO, IF THE PART GOES BAD AND RETURNED TO CHRYSLER/DODGE - THEY WILL NOT MAKE IT KNOWN WHAT THE PROBLEM IS TO THE DEALERSHIP OR TO THE CONSUMER.. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINES IN THE 2010 DODGE CHARGERS. THEY ARE DECEIVING US. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. BAD NOISE COMING FRONT UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR WHEN GO OVER A SMALL BUMP SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHINGS GOING TO BREAK. ENGINE LIGHT TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIKE WON'T GO OFF. TOOK IT TO MULTIPLE SHOPS AND I GET A DIFFERENT STORY EVERY TIME.. TRACTION CONTROL LIKE CAME ON ONE DAY AND I CAN'T GO OVER 60MPH WITHOUT THE CAR SHUDDERING VIOLENTLY AND LOSING A LITTLE BIT OF POWER.

A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING MY 2010 DODGE CHARGER SXT 3.5L ... I DEVELOPED VIBRATION/SHAKING DURING IDLE UNTIL ABOUT 900 RPM'S. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND CYLINDER 1 WAS MISFIRING. CYLINDER HEAD, GASKET, EXHAUST MANIFOLD WERE REPLACED. THEN WENT THE EGR VALVE, THAT WAS THEN REPLACED. THE SHAKING IS STILL CURRENT AND I AM ABLE TO NOT GET ANY ANSWERS. THERE HAS TO BE A RECALL THAT IS NOT BEING ANNOUNCED. I HAVE READ MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SHAKE ISSUE ON THEIR SAME MODEL AND YEAR AS WELL. *JS

CAR WOULDN'T CRANK SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE WIN MODULE. *TR

CAR WOULDN'T CRANK. *TR

THE TIRE TRACKSON LIGHT CAME ON IN 2014 I HAVE HAD A SET OF NEW TIRES PUT ON TWICE AND GET THE OIL AND TIRES ROTATING EVERY 4 MONTHS AND THE LIGHT HAS YET TO GO OFF AND THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHY THE LIGHT IS STAYING ON AND SAYS LOW TIRE PRESSURE. I AM REALLY SCARED TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THE WHEELS TO LOCK OR SOMETHING ELSE AND CAUSES ME A BAD ACCIDENT, SO I REALLY DON'T DRIVE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THAT, SO COULD YOU PLEASE LOOK OFF INTO IT AND LET ME AND OTHERS KNOW IF IT'S ANY DANGER TO IT. THANKS

IN 2011 I PURCHASED THIS 2010 DODGE CHARGER FROM A DEALER LOCATED IN PARAMUS NJ. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AS A CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP, I BEGAN TO NOTICE A SLIGHT PULL OF THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT. I HAD TO MAINTAIN CONSTANT LEFT PRESSURE ON THE WHEEL IN ORDER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE TRAVELING STRAIGHT. I THEN NOTICED THAT WHEN I DEPRESSED THE BREAK AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHOOK. I ALSO NOTICED A NOISY THAT WAS COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AREA AS IF THERE WAS A PART THAT WAS RUBBING AND WOULD FALL OFF. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALER AND ADVISED THEM OF THE ISSUE. THEY DID SET AN APPOINTMENT UP FOR ME TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THEY ADVISED ME THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SUSPENSION AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FINE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE AND RETURNED IT TO MY GARAGING AREA. LATER ON IN THE MONTH, I NOTICED THAT THE SAME ISSUE WAS OCCURRING ONCE AGAIN AND I THEN DECIDED THAT I NEEDED TO CALL THE DEALER AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND LOOKED AT THE CAR AGAIN. ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER I BEGAN NOTICING THE ISSUE ONCE AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME TO FIND THAT THERE WAS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN, THE NOISE SOUNDED AS A WINDSHIELD WIPER AGAINST A DRY GLASS. I DECIDED THAT I WOULD TAKE THE CAR TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC. MY MECHANIC ADVISED ME THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TIE ROD ENDS AND THAT THEY WERE A KNOWN PROBLEM. HE STATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN AS WELL AND THAT THEY BOTH REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. I HAD THE TIE ROD ENDS REPLACED IN NOVEMBER OF 2012 WE ARE NOW IN 2013 AND I AM ONCE AGAIN BEING TOLD THAT THE TIE ROD ENDS ARE BAD AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. I AM CONSTANTLY FORCED TO MAINTAIN LEFT PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR

FROM THE TIME WE BOUGHT THIS CAR, IT FEELS LIKE THE FRONT END IS GOING TO COME OUT FROM UNDERNEATH IT. AT 65 MPH ITS SHAKES VOILENTLY. REPLACED BOTH OUTER TIE RODS. REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES DUE TO UNEAVEN WEAR. GOING BACK TO THE SHOP THIS WEEK TO SEE WHATS NEXT TO FIX. FOR THE LONGEST TIME, I THOUGHT THE DEALERSHIP SOLD ME A TOTALLED CAR. BUT AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUGHT THE 2010 DODGE CHARGERS, LOOKS LIKE DODGE PUT OUT A PIECE OF CRAP CAR FOR THAT YEAR. I WOULD NOT SUGGEST ANYONE BUYING ONE OF THESE, UNLESS YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO FEED THE SHOP. *TR

THE KEY FOB WILL NOT WORK WITH CAR, WILL NOT OPEN THE CAR, START THE CAR WITHOUT SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO USE THE KEY. EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERIES AND REPROGRAMMING NEW KEYS KEY FOBS FAIL TO OPEN DOORS OR TURN CAR ON. I ALSO HAVE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE FOR SIMILAR MALFUNCTIONS THOUSANDS OF DODGE CAR OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE BECAUSE THE KEY WOULD NOT START MY CAR NOR WOULD THE SPARE. I SPOKE WITH THE DODGE DEALER AS WELL AS DODGE CORPORATE OFFICE THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BUT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WHERE DODGE IS CHARGING $1000 - $2000 TO FIX THE PROBLEM HOWEVER THAT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM A LOT OF THE TIME. I PLEASE ASK THAT YOU LOOK INTO THIS IT IS A DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION IN ANY SITUATION WHERE YOU MAY NEED YOUR CAR IN A MOMENTS NOTICE AND IT DOES NOT WORK. KEY FOBS FROM 2009 - ON FAIL TO WORK WITH CAR. DOES NOT UNLOCK DOORS DOES NOT START CAR WITHOUT ATTEMPTING TO USE THE FOB OVER AND OVER. *TR

SITTING STOPPED BEHIND A CAR THAT WAS PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT. I WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR AND WAS PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME . MY AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO POWER OFF. A FUSE HAD TO BE REMOVED IN ORDER TO POWER OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V200000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 41,000. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 DODGE CHARGER R/T I WAS STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I ACCELERATED, IMMEDIATELY AFTER I STARTED ACCELERATING A NOISE AND CLUNKING FEEL HAPPENED. I MAINTAINED A VERY SLOW SPEED BECAUSE OF NOT KNOWING WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO THE FIRST PARKING LOT I COULD EASILY ACCESS. AGAIN NOT KNOWING WHAT THE ISSUE WAS BUT KNOWING THAT THERE WAS A DIFFERENT PHYSICAL APPEARANCE TO THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE AND ALSO HOW IT DROVE WHILE FINDING A PARKING LOCATION I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A TRUSTED MECHANIC. ONCE ON THE LIFT WE WERE ABLE TO SEE THAT THE REAR SUB-FRAME BUSHINGS HAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THEMSELVES. BEING THAT I WAS GOING AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED THE SITUATION WAS KEPT UNDER CONTROL, BUT HAD I BEEN GOING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED AS I OFTEN DO ON MY DAILY COMMUTE I AM UNSURE IF THIS WOULD HAVE TURNED OUT TO BE AS CONTROLLED AS IT WAS. THE IMPRESSION MY MECHANIC GAVE WAS THAT THIS WAS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF A PART THAT SHOULD NOT FAIL AT THIS POINT OF A VEHICLES LIFE. AFTER THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT OF THE VEHICLE I DID HAVE IT TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO DO THEIR ASSESSMENT. I HAVE ALSO CONTACT CHRYSLER MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN LITTLE TO NO INFORMATION ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE OTHER THAN THAT THE ENGINEERS ARE LOOKING AT IT. I DID DO SOME RESEARCH AND WAS ABLE TO FIND THAT OTHER OWNERS OF THE DODGE CHARGER, CHALLENGER AND CHRYSLER 300 HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. MOST OF WHICH WERE SITUATIONS WHERE OWNERS REPLACED THE BUSHINGS WITH STRONGER AFTERMARKET PARTS PRIOR TO FAILURE BUT IT DOES SEEM TO BE A MORE COMMON CONCERN AMONG OWNERS. I KNOW THAT I AM JUST ONE PERSON REPORTING AN ISSUE BUT MY MAIN CONCERN CURRENTLY IS THAT AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED I DO NOT KNOW IF THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN AS CONTROLLED, AND THAT IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME AS I DO HAVE A FAMILY WITH SMALL CHILDREN. *TR

ON THE DAY OF PURCHASE IN APRIL 2013, I OBSERVED AND INQUIRED ABOUT A TICKING NOISE IN THE CAR'S ENGINE. THE SALESMAN STATED THAT IT WAS PROBABLY DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OIL CHANGES, BUT THE TICKING STILL EXISTS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A COUPLE OF MECHANICS, I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM MAY BE BAD LIFTERS. AS OF TODAY I CHECKED FOR POSSIBLE RECALLS ON THE CAR. NONE WERE LISTED. I AM REQUESTING THIS MATTER BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER AND A REMEDY BE PROVIDED BY THE CAR MAKER. *TR

I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER, IT TOOK FOUR OR FIVE TRIES TO RE-START THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED FOR OVER TWO MONTHS. DODGE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A BAD WIN MODULE.
