2014 Dodge Charger Powertrain & Transmission Problems

Automatic transmission control module/unit is bad Car won't start

My oil cooler is cracked and leaking tons of oil. Upon further research this is a very common problem in there engines because of faulty engine design. Why is there no recall for the faulty engine oil cooler in the Dodge Charger 2014. Most Dodge Chargers experience an oil leak from a cracked oil cooling unit but there has been no recall? An oil cooler is meant to last the entire life of a car how is Dodge allowed to get away with this when they have not addressed the faulty oil cooler assembly in any recalls?

Loud belt squealing during a turn followed by "battery saver mode" message which then turned into smoke under the hood.

IT WAS TAKEN TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN NOV 2019 AND A SOFTWARE UPGRADE WAS PERFORMED WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE. I HAD TO PAY ~$68 FOR THIS SERVICE. GOOGLE/WEB DISCUSSIONS SHOW THIS IS A BROAD ISSUE AMONG THE DODGE CHARGER AWD, AND SHOULD PROBABLY BE CONSIDERED A COMPANY-COVERED RECALL/REPAIR RATHER THAN A CHARGE BORNE BY CAR OWNER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A SCRAPING SOUND ON THE PAVEMENT. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE SHE NOTICED THAT THE DRIVESHAFT WAS DETACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HER HOME. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO WILSON FORD LINCOLN (2231 US-250, WHITE HALL, WV 26554, (304) 363-0500) AND THEN TO COUNTRY CLUB CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1251 MILFORD ST, CLARKSBURG, WV 26301, (304) 624-7611).

AFTER THE PCM / TCM CRUISE CONTROL RECALL SERVICE, THE TRANSMISSION HAS NOT BEEN THE SAME. THE SHIFTING IS ALL OFF AND THE TRANSMISSION LUNGES AND CLUNKS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THEY REPORT THE TRANSMISSION IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. WHEN CLEARLY IT IS NOT. THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD WHEN COMING TO A STOP.

WHEN PUTTING CAT INTO PARK, ERROR MESSAGE COMES ON AND SAYS 'SERVICE TRANS PRESS BRAKE WHEN STOPPED KEY OFF ENGINE TO ENGAGE PARK' DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS CONTROL MODULE HAD CONTROL MODULE REPLACED A YEAR AGO, NOW EXPERIENCING SAM'S ISSUE.

WHILE IN MOTION THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT DOWN SO THE ENGINE REVS UP UNTIL THE BRAKE IS PRESSED. THIS HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE IT STARTS SHIFTING GEARS ON IT'S OWN. THE VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN DOING THIS SINCE 2/16/19 AND HAS DONE IT ALMOST EVERY DAY SINCE.

THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE REVVING AND SLOWING ITSELF DOWN AROUND THE 30 MPH AREA. THERE IS A JERKING MOTION AROUND THIS SPEED AS WELL. IT IS ACTING LIKE IT WANTS TO SHIFT, BUT CAN'T. WHEN I GET UP PAST 28-31 MPH THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY, BUT I AM AFRAID THAT IT MIGHT STICK AS SOME POINT AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT! I HAVE HEARD IT IS A KNOWN TRANSMISSION PROBLEM FROM A MECHANIC FROM DODGE. I KNOW IT ASKS WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN, WELL, IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY I DRIVE IT!
