TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT REACHED DOWN TO ADJUST A DEVICE IN THE AUX CONNECTION.

JUST YESTERDAY MY WIFE WAS ABOUT TO DRIVE AWAY-ONLY TO FIND THE CAR WAS TOTALLY DEAD! IF THERE ARE NO REPAIR PARTS-WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? IT HAD BEEN SITTING OVER NIGHT IN THE GARAGE---!

TAKATA RECALL WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY STREETS THE OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY STARTED LEAKING OIL ALL THE WAY FROM THE TOP WHERE ITS LOCATED TO THE TRANSMISSION AND EXHAUST PIPES CAUSING A LOT OF SMOKE COME OUT BECAUSE THE OIL BURNIG HAD TO STOP VERY QUICKLY THINKING THE CAR WAS GETTING ON FIRE.

DODGE CHARGER WAS TAKEN IN TO CERTIFIED DODGE SERVICE CENTER FOR SAME PROBLEM 3 DIFFERENT TIMES BEFORE THE 4TH TIME THE PROBLEM OCCURRED, WHICH RESULTED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. MAIN PROBLEM: GEAR SHIFT/LEVER STICKS AND HAS TO BE FORCED INTO DESIRED GEAR. ALSO, WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, CAR STAYS IN PARK AND WILL NOT SHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEAR. ON JULY 18TH, 2017, CAR WAS STARTED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED.

AS CAR WAS CROSSING INTERSECTION (I WAS ATTEMPTING TO GO WEST) THE CAR STALLED AND THE CAR WENT INTO PARK AND WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEAR. BECAUSE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE, SHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEAR ETC. , ONCOMING CAR TRAVELING EAST SLAMMED INTO DRIVER SIDE REAR END. ONCOMING CAR DID NOT REALIZE THAT OUR CAR (DODGE CHARGER) WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE AND ATTEMPTED TO SWERVE BUT STILL COLLIDED WITH BACK END OF CAR. HAD THE CAR NOT MALFUNCTIONED, THE ATTEMPT TO CROSS INTERSECTION WOULD HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL THEREFORE NO ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. AGAIN, CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO A CERTIFIED DODGE SERVICE CENTER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM AND MULTIPLES TIMES IT WAS CLAIMED "FIXED" OR "PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED". GEAR SHIFT ON THIS CAR HAS HAD PROBLEMS FROM THE BEGINNING AND HAS ONLY WORSENED OVER TIME. DRIVER OF DODGE CHARGER SUFFERED BACK TRAUMA FROM ACCIDENT AND IS SEEKING MEDICAL CARE AS WELL.

THE ISSUE IS IF YOU TURN OFF THE CAR IT GOES AWAY. I WAS INFORMED TO BRING IT BACK IN IF THE "BATTERY SAVER MODE" COMES BACK ON BUT IF THE PLACE ISN'T OPENED THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO SO. I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE FIXED, MY CAR CUTS OFF AT TIMES WHEN I START IT AND DRIVE OFF IN THE MORNING WHEN IT'S COLDER AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS WHICH THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE CAR COMPANY AS WELL.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 DODGE CHARGER SXT ON THE FREEWAY TODAY (11/02/16) THE ENGINE STALLED & I BARELY MADE IT TO THE RELATIVE SAFETY OF THE MEDIAN TO ATTEMPT TO RESTART MY CAR. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, IT EVENTUALLY RESTARTED, HOWEVER IT STALLED AGAIN SHORTLY THEREAFTER ON THE FREEWAY & 3 MORE TIMES ONCE I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY. I JUST GOT IT BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK FOR THE SAME PROBLEM (THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY "UPDATED" SOME SOFTWARE BUT COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM). IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SAFELY AVOID INJURY/DAMAGE IF THIS PROBLEM ISN'T FIXED & CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. I HAVE MULTIPLE PHOTOS & VIDEOS ON MY PHONE OF THIS OCCURRING & WOULD BE HAPPY TO EMAIL THEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

WHEN DRIVING, I PRESSED BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE CAR AND HEARD A SCREECH NOISE, CAR TREMBLED A BIT AND CAME TO A STOP. WHEN I CONTINUED TO DRIVE WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ELECTRICAL STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON. IT TURNED OFF FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER, BUT IT TURNED ON AGAIN THE NEXT DAY IN THE MORNING WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND HAS STAYED ON SINCE.

ON AUGUST 29TH 2016 I WAS RETURNING(DRIVING ON US20) HOME FROM SOME OFFICIAL BUSINESS, WHEN MY DASH STARTED FLASHING, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WOULD FLASH, THE SPEED DISPLAYED WOULD GO UP, AND DOWN , AND THE CAR STARTED CHANGING GEARS. THERE WAS A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM MY GEAR SHIFT, LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO SELECT GEAR. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT , AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE KEEP COMING UP AS WELL. I WOULD INTERMITTENLY LOSE POWER STEERING DURING THIS, AND POWER FROM THE ENGINE WOULD LAG ALSO. I HAVE A THREE MINUTE, AND THIRTY-FIVE SECOND VIDEO OF WHAT WAS OCCURING. I CONTACTED SOME MECHANIC FRIENDS THAT WORK ON INDIANA STATE POLICE CHARGERS, AND THEY THOUGHT IT COULD BE THE BATTERY SHORTING OUT. THE NEXT MORNING I REPLACED THE BATTERY, AND INSTALLED PROPERLY WITH POSITIVE POST FIRST. THIS SEEM TO RESOLVE THE DASH FLASHING SYMPTOMS, BUT I THEN HAD NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. I TOOK TO OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER IN LAGRANGE, IN THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS, AND DETERMINED THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING PUMP WAS NO GOOD. THE POWER STEERING PUMP WORKED PERFECTLY FINE WITH NO ISSUES AT ALL, EVER, BEFORE THESE ELECTRICAL ISSUES OCCURED. THIS VEHICLE IS USED TO TRANSPORT THE US CONGRESSMAN, WHEN HE IS IN THE DISTRICT ON OFFICIAL BUSINESS, AND WE NEED IT REPAIRED ASAP. IT IS MY OPINION, THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS DESTROYED BY THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES CONCERNING THE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. IT IS ALSO MY OPINION THAT FAC LLC SHOULD REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP AT NO COST PER THE CONSENT ORDER PERTAINING TO THIS RECALL. I AM TRYING TO GET THE VIDEO TO EMAIL, AT THIS POINT, THE VIDEO IS TO LONG TO EMAIL.

I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH FCA SINCE 8/31/16, SO FOR 28 DAYS NOW, THAT I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT POWER STEERING. I FILED MY FIRST COMPLAINT ON, OR AROUND 9/12/16. I EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS STATED IN NHTSA PE14022 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPORXIMATELY 65MPH. EVERY WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF FLASHING, SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE, SERVICE POWER STEERING , AND TACH, AND SPEEDO WOULD DROP TO ZERO , AND I WOULD LOSE ENGINE POWER, AND POWER STEERING. I CAPTURED THE INCIDENT ON VIDEO, AND PROVIDED THE VIDEO TO NHTSA, I WILL AGAIN PROVIDE A LINK FOR THE VIDEO HERE : HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/E96HVQPEP10 . IN DEALING WITH FCA LLC, THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE ELECTRIC HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING PUMP THAT WAS FRIED FROM THIS INCIDENT OCCURING. FCA IS SAYING THAT IT WAS THE "2 YEAR OLD MOPAR BATTERY" THAT CAUSED THE INCIDENT, AND REFUSE TO REPLACE THE EHPS PUMP THAT WORKED PERFECTLY FINE BEFORE THIS OCCURED. I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR PER NHTSA RECALL NO. 14V-634 A GREAT DEAL OF TIME PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT OCCURING. FCA IS TRYING TO CIRCUMVENT HAVING TO REPLACE THE PUMP BY CHANGING THE ORIGIN OF THE MEANS TO THE BATTERY, INSTEAD OF THE ALTERNATOR. I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH HOW FCA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL OF THE PROOF GIVEN TO THEM. I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS, THERE HAD BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FILED WITH SIMILAR RESULTS AS MINE IN DEALING WITH FCA. IT'S TIME FOR NHTSA TO DO SOMETHING TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE WITH FCA. FCA OFFERED TO REPLACE THE $1400 EHPS PUMP IF I PAY A $500 CO-PAY, I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS OFFER BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF THE MATTER. THE TRUE ORIGIN OF ALL OF THE ISSUE'S I'M CURRENTLY HAVING, IS FROM THE ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR THAT WAS IN THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND A HALF INITIALLY, AND DURING THAT TIME IT WAS IMPROPERLY CHARGING THE BATTERY THAT POSSIBLY CAUSED THE BATTERY TO ULTIMATELY FAIL ON 8/31/16.
