2016 Dodge Charger Complaint Log

No warning lights. Loses power, shuts down when traveling. Must pull over, come to a complete stop, put vehicle in park, wait 2-3 minutes sometime longer before it will start back up, Has been occurring for at least 6`months now. Repair shop/dealer unable to confirm due to the fact that it doesn't occur when test driven!!

Kept smelling gas after filling up and off and on . Did a fill up and gas was so strong had to call a tow truck. Dealership said fuel pump assembly connector had high resistance causing the top of the fuel pump to melt.

Chrysler/|Dodge 300's/Charger have a known issue with door panel warping because of material or design defect. A judged rule 08/26/21 that there is an expressed warranty and that they should be repaired outside of the manufacture's warranty, which is when the defect shows up. I have tried both the dealership and customer care Auburn Hills, Michigan to no avail. I am stuck with making the very costly repair myself on a vehicle that I can't sell for what should be its value without the defect showing. I am a disable veteran and a senior so neither of those prospect are appealing. What can I do to get the dealer to fix the defect in light of the judge's ruling or other consumer protection laws? I need to get a replacement vehicle and can't get a reasonable return on this investment with the defect. Please help me.

The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that the passenger’s side front door and driver’s side rear door panels started to detach from the body of the vehicle.

Door panel is separating from the door and window on the passenger side

Not sure of how to report, but own a 2016 Charger. My panels are coming off of doors. Of course no longer under warranty, but Dodge will not fix. This is my third Charger and I've never had this problem before. Very disappointing. This clearly is due to bad workmanship. Nothing I could have done to prevent this!!! DODGE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FIR THEIR SHABBY WORKMANSHIP!!!!!

3 of my 20” wheels cracked at different times. It causes my tires to go flat.

THE ENTIRE DRIVESHAFT OF THE VEHICLE BECOME EXTREMELY LOOSE. THE ENTIRE DRIVESHAFT HAD TO BE REPLACED AS IT WAS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE SHAFT BEING AS LOOSE AS IT WAS. I WAS INFORMED IF THE DRIVESHAFT SEPARATED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT COULD VERY LIKELY LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL AND BE FATAL.

The interior door panels on both front doors of my 2016 Dodge Charger SXT have warped and pulled away from the frame near the window area. The defect appears to be heat-related, and the panels have progressively worsened over time. This issue has not only affected the cosmetic integrity of the vehicle, but it also poses a safety risk by potentially interfering with side airbag deployment or window functionality. I believe this could compromise occupant safety in the event of a side-impact collision. The issue is visible and can be inspected upon request. The problem has not been officially confirmed by a Dodge dealer, but it is widely documented online and the subject of an active class action lawsuit [XXX] et al. v. FCA US LLC). I reported this defect to CarComplaints.com over three years ago and have seen other owners report identical issues with Chargers from similar model years. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or an insurance representative. There were no warning lights or messages related to this issue. The defect gradually became visible approximately two years after I purchased the vehicle. To date, no resolution or support has been provided by Dodge or FCA despite the known and recurring nature of this problem. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I PURCHASED 2016 DODGE CHARGER ONE MONTH AGO FROM CALIFORNIA AUTO DIRECT IN MONTCLAIR. WHILE SIGNING THE PAPERWORK, WE QUESTIONED A $1,000 DEALER CHARGE WHICH THEY EXPLAINED WAS FOR A THOROUGH INSPECTION BEFORE PUTTING THEIR CAR ON THE LOT TO SELL (ALL LIES). SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR ON 3/7/20, THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES. I TOOK THE CAR TO A "DODGE" DEALER AND THEY FIXED A RECALL, OIL LEAK AND REPLACED A MISSING CALIPER, OLD BATTERY. AFTER COMPLETING ALL THE REPAIRS, THE CAR STALLED ON ME AGAIN. EACH TIME THE STEERING AND BRAKES LOCKED UP. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NO CODES AS TO WHY THE CAR JUST STOPS WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I CONTACTED DODGE.COM ONLINE CHAT AND THEY TOLD ME TO LET THE DEALER TRY AND WORK ON IT AND USE THEIR RESOURCES. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. I READ ABOUT RECALLS ON OTHER DODGE CHARGERS AND CHALLENGERS THAT HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS, UNFORTUNATELY NOT M YEAR... 2016.

DOOR PANEL ARE PEELING ON ALL DOORS OR LIFTING UP ALONG THE WINDOWS

I WAS HEADED TO WORK YESTERDAY MORNING AND BEFORE I GOT TO WORK I HEARD A LOUD NOICE UNDER THE HOOD AND SMOKE STARTING ROLLING OUT OF UNDER THE HOOD. I PULLED OVER TO THE CLOSEST INTERSECTION TO GET OFF HIGHWAY AND DISCOVERED OIL ALL OVER THE CAR AND ALL UNDER THE CAR. I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP THAT I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR THROUGH (HAVEN'T EVEN MADE THE FIRST PAYMENT) AND THEY TOWED IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. FURTHER INSPECTION THEY SAID THE DESIGN OF THE CAR HOW IT PULLS AIR THROUGH THE FENDER IT SUCKED WATER UP FROM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HYDRO LOCKED THE MOTOR. I DO ZERO FIRST ROADS ON MY VEHICLES SO IT'S DEFINITELY NOT RIGHT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AND THROW A ROD THROUGH THE MOTOR. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WON'T COVER IT NOR WILL MY INSURANCE. IT'S A BRAND NEW CAR. I NEED HELP!!

I HAVE BEEN SMELLING A STRONG GAS ODOR WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. TODAY WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY I NOTICED A PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER THE CAR TOO. THE PUDDLE WAS UNDER THE LEFT REAR SEAT. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS SEEMS TO BE THE FUEL PUMP UNDER THE REAR SEAT (WHERE MY 6 AND 7 YEAR OLD KIDS SIT). I PULLED UP THE REAR SEAT AND FOUND THE PUMP IS LEAKING THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AND LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS IS POOLED ON TOP OF THE PUMP!! I USED DOZENS OF PAPER TOWELS TO SOAK IT UP AND IT JUST KEPT COMING OUT. THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR IS ALSO BROWN/BURNED NEAR A COUPLE OF THE PROBES INDICATING THE GAS IS CAUSING A SHORT WITHIN THE PLUG!! I UNPLUGGED THE CONNECTOR AND FOUND THAT THE GAS IS ACTUALLY SPEWING OUT FROM INSIDE THE CONNECTOR ON THE PUMP, WHERE THE PRONGS ARE. RESEARCHING ONLINE I SEE MULTIPLE OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS THAT THE PLASTIC TOP OF THE PUMP CRACKS, AND THERE IS EVEN A WEBSITE THAT SELLS A METAL COVER TO HELP PROTECT THE FUEL PUMP COVER! I SEE MULTIPLE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES AND YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. THE MORE RESEARCH I'M DOING ONLINE THE MORE REPORTS I AM FINDING REGARDING FIRES OCCURRING IN MINOR COLLISIONS THAT SHOULD NOT END THAT WAY. INCLUDING A REPORT OF 4 PASSENGERS BURNED TO DEATH, AND SOME VEHICLES THAT COMBUSTED AFTER BEING PARKED. THIS IS BARELY A 4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE AND NO WAY SHOULD A FUEL PUMP HOUSING BE BRITTLE AND CRACKED LIKE THIS ALREADY. PHOTOS ARE ATTACHED.
