MY 2014 DODGE CHARGER IS BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT OF LHM DODGE IN TUCSON, AZ. BY 13,978 MY CAR SMELLED LIKE SULFUR WHILE IN MOTION. DRIVING SLUGGISHLY, AND THE "BATTERY SAVER MODE" LIGHT ON. BROUGHT INTO LARRY H MILLER FOR REPAIR. WAS TOLD THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED REPLACED AFTER 13,975 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AT 14,100 MILES THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING THE SAME SMELL, AND THE BATTERY SAFER MODE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN . RETURNED IT TO LHM WITH COMPLAINTS. THEY SAY "IT'S NORMAL" MANAGER TOLD ME "DODGE JUST DIDN'T MAKE THE ALTERNATOR BIG ENOUGH FOR THAT ENGINE, MANUFACTURER FLAW"AT 14,432 MILES, THE VEHICLE NOT BLOWING COLD AIR. BATTERY SAVER MODE LIGHT WAS STILL ON, SMELLED LIKE SULFUR AND CAR WAS DRIVING SLUGGISH. I OPENED CASE WITH CORPORATE. THEY "FIXED" IT, AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. ON JUNE 17, 2016, MY VEHICLE WAS DRIVING SLUGGISHLY, THE ENGINE LIGHT ON, CALLED DODGE IMMEDIATELY AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER. I CALLED JIM CLICK IMMEDIATELY TO GET MY VEHICLE IN. MY VEHICLE WAS 23,900 MILES. DODGE CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT GET ME IN UNTIL JULY 1ST AND THAT ITS "FINE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AS LONG AS THE LIGHT ISN'T FLASHING". BROUGHT IN FOR "REPAIR" ON JUNE 1ST. I DROVE A RENTAL CAR FROM FRIDAY JUNE 1ST-JUNE 8TH, THE "CLUSTER" IN THE DASH WAS NOT READING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS "ALL FIXED". WHEN THE VEHICLE PULLED UP I GOT IN AND BEGAN TO PULL AWAY AS MY DASHBOARD WENT BLACK. I TURNED AROUND. MY ADVISOR BROUGHT IT BACK AND EXPLAINED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE "RESET" BUT THAT HE'LL ORDER A NEW CLUSTER. I GET INTO MY VEHICLE THERE IS AN "ERROR" SIGN WHERE THE MILAGE IS SUPPOSED TO BE. I THAT I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I EXPRESSED HOW UPSET I WAS ABOUT THE SITUATION AND HE SAID TO ME "YOU'LL BE FINE TO DRIVE IT, IT WON'T SHUT OFF". I GET HOME STARTED IT, AND THE ENTIRE DASH SHUTS OFF. MY CAR IS NOW BEING TOWED AGAIN TO JIM CLICK DODGE.

WHILE DRIVING AND PREPARING TO TURN MY VEHICLE TOOK CONTROL AND I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO BREAK OR TURN. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NOBODY IN THE NEIGHBOR AT THE TIME AND WITH LESS THAN A FOOT FROM HITTING THE STOP SIGN I WAS ABLE TO STOP. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED (1.5 YEARS PRIOR)AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG JUST NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. I INSISTED THIS WAS NOT THE ISSUE SO THE MANAGER HAD HIS ASSOCIATE TEST DRIVE TO COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION THE STEERING AND BRAKE SYSTEM IS FINE. NOT HAPPY I LEFT AFTER PURCHASING THE BATTERY AND HERE WE ARE 1.5 WEEKS LATER WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I TRIED TO DRIVE OUT OF WORK YESTERDAY AND I LOST CONTROL TO MY STEERING AND IT LOCKED. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TRIED ONCE MORE THE SAME THING HAPPENED, I THEN TRY TO RESTART BUT IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DO SO. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND IT STARTED. NOT FEELING SAFE FOR MY LIFE I LEFT THE CAR AT WORK AND STILL DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT. FROM WHAT I AM READING I AM NOT THE ONLY 2014 DODGE CHARGER HAVING THIS ISSUE. I NEED THIS FIXED IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

MY 2014 DODGE CHARGER HAS 55,000 MILES. THE CAR HAS A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

I WAS TOLD BY THE DODGE DEALERSHIP THAT IT IS A "FAULTY" TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER SYSTEM ALSO KNOWN AS THE TIPM. AS UPON READING CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS FOR CHRYSLERS "FAULTY" TIPM. PLEASE HELP ME FIX MY ISSUE AS THIS IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE TO DRIVE BEING THAT IT COULD LOSE POWER AT ANY GIVEN TIME.

GOT 2014 CAR BRAND NEW IN FEB 2014. IT HAS ABOUT 15K MILES ON IT AND IN JUST OVER 2 YEARS ALL 4 MICHELIN PILOT HX MXM4 TIRES HAVE DRY ROT. TIRE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT MICHELIN IS PRONE TO DRY ROT. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH MANUFACTURER.

SAFETY RECALL S03/NHTSA 16V-046. THE DEALER, PARKWAY CHRYSLER DODGE, IN CLINTON TWP., MICHIGAN FAILED TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. I FIRST NOTIFIED THE DEALER ON 4/22/2016, AND HAVE CALLED REPEATEDLY TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT. THEY HAVE ME ON A WAITING LIST, AND IT ALREADY HAS BEEN 4 MONTHS. THE DEALER SAYS CHRYSLER WILL ONLY SEND THEM A LIMITED NUMBER OF PARTS, SO I COULD BE WAITING MANY MORE MONTHS FOR THE REPAIR. I FEEL THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

SPARE TIRE JACK RECALL - WHEN I TRIED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST 2 HOURS AND THE RECALL NOTICE SAYS IT SHOULD TAKE 30 MINUTES. I CANNOT TAKE THAT MUCH UNPAID LEAVE FROM WORK FOR A RECALL THAT SHOULD NOT TAKE THAT MUCH TIME.

HAVING A TRANSMISSION RELATED ISSUE. VEHICLE MAKES A JOLT FOWARD WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. SOMETIMES IT'S NOT SO BAD BUT YOU CAN TELL IT'S DOWNSHIFTING LATE OR HARD WHEN COMPLETING A STOP. THIS HAPPENS 90 PERCENT OF THE TIME WHEN MY VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP. I HAVE THE 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION IN THE SXT VERSION CHARGER V6. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND MANY CHARGER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO RESULTS ON WHAT'S THE CAUSE OR HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE. DODGE IS SUPPOSEDLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS SINCE CAME OUT WITH A PCM TRANSMISSION FLASH UPDATE. THE UPDATE HAS PROVEN TO BE INEFFECTIVE FOR EVERYONE INCLUDING MYSELF. THE PROBLEM AFFECTS 2011 -2014 8 SPEED CHRYSLER AND DODGE. I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS AND HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS A RECALL IS PLACED.

WHEN DRIVING (MAINLY LOW SPEED) THERE IS A METAL TO METAL/POPPING TYPE NOISE COMING FROM LOWER AREA. SEEMS TO BE SOMEWHERE WITH ROTATION OF TIRES, OR SUSPENSION TRAVEL, OR TRANSMISSION. ONLY WHEN THERE IS MOVEMENT WITH THE VEHICLE, SOUNDS AS IF THERE ARE 2 PIECES OF METAL RUBBING/BUMPING TOGETHER INTEMITTENTLY. IT IS NOT A CONSTANT NOISE, SEEMS TO BE MORE NOISE ON ROUGHER ROAD CONDITIONS. DODGE DEALER SAID THEY CANNOT "RIP APART MY VEHICLE WITHOUT KNOWING THE CAUSE OF NOISE."

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL WAS DETACHING FROM THE DOOR FRAME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER ANCIRA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (10807, I-10, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78230, (210) 558-1500) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DOOR PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

MY CHARGER WAS WITHIN THE YEAR RAGE OF THE 160AMP ALTERNATOR RECALL HOWEVER MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED FOR SOME REASON. I HAVE GOT "POWER SAVING MODE" A COUPLE TIMES WHEN JUST SITTING IN ONE SPOT. I JUST HOPE I DON'T END UP THE NEXT ONE LOSING POWER ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED FOR SOME REASON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN, WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO LOSE CONTROL AND CRASH INTO A DITCH. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK, CHEST, AND HEAD. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

WHILE DRIVING I-405N AT APPROX 63MPH, MY CEL & TC LAMP ILLUMINATED AND CAR STALLED OUT LEAVING ME WITH NO STEERING FUNCTIONS, THEN SUDDENLY IT TURNED BACK ON AND RED-LINED FOR ALMOST 20SECS STRAIGHT LEAVING ME AT WOT SPEEDING STRAIGHT TOWARDS THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE DASH FLASHED SOMETHING IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RIGHT BEFORE IT SHUTS OFF BUT TOO QUICKLY FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO READ IT, THE WHITE BOX THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE SELECTED GEAR TURNS ORANGE AND HIGHLIGHTS ALL GEARS, THEN TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER FALL TO ZERO. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I WAS ABLE TO RECORD THE THE DASH DISPLAY ON MY PHONE WHEN IT WAS OCCURRING BACK -TO-BACK. I PULLED FAULT CODES(U0101,U1110,U1120,U11BC,U0121,U0100,U212). I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP 2 WEEKS PREVIOUSLY, THEY JUST RESET MY CEL LAMP AND SAID BRING IT BACK IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE IT CAUSES SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE ECM AND TCM PROGRAMMING, OR THE MODULES THEMSELVES. INCLUDED IS SCREENSHOT FROM THE VIDEO I RECORDED AS IT STALLED ON THE FWY FOR THE 3RD TIME IN 10 MINUTESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, A MESSAGE ABOUT THE BATTERY POWER WAS DISPLAYED ACROSS THE MESSAGE BOARD. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE CHARGED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

TORQUE CONVERTER MALFUNCTION: THE TORQUE CONVERTER IN THE DODGE AWD RT MODEL MALFUNCTIONS AND CREATES A GROANING SOUND WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ACCELERATING ON FLAT OR LOW TO STEEP ROAD INCLINES. IF UNCHECKED IT MAY LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION AND AWD SUBSYSTEM. SINCE THIS TORQUE COMPONENT IS NOT A REGULARLY STOCKED ITEM AT MOST DODGE DEALERSHIPS, IF THE COMPONENT FAILS THE WAIT TIME FOR A REPLACEMENT CAN BEEN UP TO A FEW WEEKS. MY DEALERSHIP BROWN DAUB DODGE, A 5 STAR DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN EASTON PA, SAID THERE WERE ONLY TWO COMPONENTS AVAILABLE IN THE ENTIRE USA!

WHILE DRIVING ON A TOWN ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MPH, THE WARNING LIGHTS FOR THE ABS AND ESC SYSTEMS LIT. I SUBSEQUENTLY DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO NO LONGER FUNCTIONED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER SINCE THE VEHICLE RECENTLY HAD A RECALL PERFORMED FOR ALTERNATOR REPLACEMENT, AND SYMPTOMS INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL - CHRYSLER P60 / NHTSA 14V-634 - INDICATE THAT MODES OF FAILURE MAY INCLUDE DISABLING ABS AND ESC. CHRYSLER STATED THAT "SOMETIMES THEY MAY NEED TO DO THE RECALL AGAIN". BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER. DIAGNOSED AS A SENSOR FAILURE. I HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS.SERVICE WRITER STATED THAT THIS FAILURE HAPPENS ON THESE CARS QUITE FREQUENTLY, AND EVEN "GUESSED" CORRECTLY WHAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE THE TECH WORKED ON IT. ESC AND ABS ARE BOTH SIGNIFICANT SAFETY SYSTEMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND A LOUD WHINING NOISE EMITTED FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE REMEDY WAS INSUFFICINT. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

WE BOUGHT OUR CAR NEW, IT HAS BEEN AT THE DODGE DEALER FOR REPAIRS FOR THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER FOR 6 MONTHS TOTAL TIME IN SHOP. 1. THE BATTERY SAVER MODE COMES ON, AND THEN THE STEERING GETS HARD, THE ALT. HAS BEEN REPLACE, EXTRA WIRING ADDED TO ADD MORE GROUNDS. THIS AFFECTS THE WAY THE CAR DRIVES. WHEN THE BATTERY SAVER MODE IS ON THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING OR WORKS LESS. THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND RACK AND PINION HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERY DAY, IN TOWN OR ON THE FREEWAY. 2. THE RADIO KEEPS SHORTING OUT, IT'S BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. THIS HAPPENS DAILY, IT QUITS, BLEW OUT THE SPEAKERS, NAVAGTION STOPPED WORKING. 3. THE HEATER KEEPS GETTING STUCK ON EITHER 100% HOT OR 100% A/C ON COLD. SETTINGS WILL NOT CHANGE. CONTROLS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES, THE HEAT/COLD DOOR MOTOR WAS REPLACE TWICE. THE CAR HAS SPENT 185 DAYS IN SERVICE THIS YEAR. WHEN THEY GIVE THE CAR BACK IT ACTS UP IN ABOUT 5 MINS. THE CAR IS GOING BACK IN FOR THE RADIO AND BATTERY SAVER MODE AND STEERING ON MONDAY. I PICKED THE CAR UP FRIDAY AND IT FAILED LESS THAN A MILE FROM THE DEALERSHIP.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT FULL SPEED A MESSAGE APPEARED ON VEHICLE INSTRUMENT PANEL: BATTERY SAVER MODE. WAS CONCERNED AS I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE MESSAGE MEANT. WAS NOT MENTIONED IN THE OWNER MANUAL. LOOKED UP MESSAGE ON DODGE CHARGER FORUM, REALIZED THAT MY VEHICLE FALLS WITHIN YEARS FOR RECALL, WITH 160 AMP ALTERNATOR, BUT MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL NOR HAVE I BEEN CONTACTED. PERHAPS IT, ALONG WITH OTHERS, SHOULD BE TO WARN OWNERS OF POTENTIAL ISSUES. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE MESSAGE TO INDICATE THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE SERVICED, ALTHOUGH TO MY UNDERSTANDING IT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF POWER TO THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE, BUT NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

MY DODGE CHARGERS POWER STEERING WOULD QUIT BOTH WHILE IN PARK AND DRIVE, WHEN IN THE CAR AND THE INCIDENT WOULD OCCUR YOU COULD NOT TURN THE VEHICLES STEERING WHEEL. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON A TOW TRUCK DUE TO VEHICLE NOT BEING ABLE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMALLY LOUD SOUND. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ACTIVATED, THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

FAILURE OF THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM AND TENSION STRUT BUSHINGS.

MY CHARGER IS ALREADY CHIPPING PAINT IN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR JAM. I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALER BOBY SHOP AND ASKED THEM TO TAKE PICTURES OF IT AND SEND IT OUT BUT THE REPAIR MAN SAID HE WAS NOT GOING TO AND SAID THAT I JUST DONT TAKE CARE OF MY CAR. I OFFERRED TO SHOW HIM THE OTHER CHARGERS ON HIS LOT THAT ARE SLIGHTLY USED AND THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT HE DIDNT WANT TO.EVERY EXCUSE HE HAS DIDNT MAKE ANY SENSE AND WHEN I WAS DONE EXPLAINING TO HIM THAT DIDNT HAPPEN HE JUMPED TO ANOTHER THEORY OF HIS. HE DID OFFER TO TOUCH IT UP WITH PAINT BUT I CAN DO THAT MYSELF. JUST REGULAR PAINT ISNT GOING TO FIX THAT PROBLEM. THE DOOR END NEEDS REPAINTED. OVER %90 OF THE CHARGERS ARE DOING THIS. I COULD SEND YOU NUMEROUS PICTURES OF DIFFERENT CHARGERS IN MY CITY AT DEALERSHIPS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM OR HAVE BEEN TOUCHED UP BY PAINT.

TWO OF THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING WERE ON:ESC(ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL) AND ABS.I TOOK MY CAR FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD TO LEAVE IT FOR REPAIRS. AFTER FOUR DAYS I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL WHICH I GOT INFORMED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART WAS OUT OF STOCK AND IT NEED TO BE ORDER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR NEEDED REPAIRS IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE IT UNTIL THE PART ARRIVES.AFTER TWO WEEKS, I VISITED AGAIN THE DEALER AND THE PART WAS NOT THERE AND NOW AND I HAVE TO WAIT AND I ALSO NEEDED TO BE PLACE IN A WAITING LIST IN WHICH I WOULD HAVE NUMBER 254 (THOSE ARE THE AMOUNT OF CARS WHICH NEEDS TO REPLACED THE SAME PART). IN MY LAST VISITED TO THE DEALER I INFORMED THAT THE CAR IS WORSE BECAUSE NOW IT HAS STRANGE VIBRATION WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE AND MAKES NOISE. AFTER ALL THIS ISSUES IS VERY HARD FOR ME AND I CAN FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR.

AT 5,500 MILES, WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC, I WOULD LOSE POWER TO MY PEDAL. MY PEDAL WOULD BE NON RESPONSIVE FOR UP TO 40 SECONDS WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. AFTER ABOUT 40 SECONDS, IT COULD COME ALIVE AND CATCH, BUT BY THEN, I AM IN DANGER BECAUSE THE CAR BEHIND ME THINKS I'VE ACCELERATED TO FLOW INTO TRAFFIC. DEALERSHIP SAW THE CODE WHERE THEY SAID IT WAS P0600 FOR OIL PRESSURE CONTROL CIRCUIT STUCK. I WAS ABLE TO TEST DRIVE WITH THE TECH WHO ATTACHED HIS LAPTOP TO THE SENSOR, AND SHOW HIM THE "STALL/SURGE". HE COULD SEE AND FEEL THE "STALL/SURGE" AS IT WAS HAPPENING BUT THE LAPTOP DID NOT REGISTER ANY ISSUES. THE TECH TESTED AND DIAGNOSED THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH WAS FAULTY. THE TECH REPLACED THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH, BUT HE SAID HE COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT ON HIS OWN. THEY CHANGED THE OIL FOR ME WHILE IT WAS IN FOR SERVICE. AGAIN ON 6-10-15 AT 12,443 MILES WHEN I WAS ACCELERATING INTO TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR "STALLED/SURGED" AND I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND. AS SOON AS IT HAPPENED, I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOOK AT IT FOR A FEW DAYS BECAUSE THEY WERE SO BUSY. 9-26-15. IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AT 17,000 MILES. IT STALLED/SURGED, IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN I AM MERGING ONTO A FREEWAY AND I AM THE MOST VULNERABLE. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY, I DO NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD IT SINCE THEN, THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT REPLACING THE ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHEN MAKING TURNS. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED.

LESS THAN A YEAR OLD.... *TR
