THE CONTACT'S AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL. ON THE DAY OF THE CRASH, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WAS ALSO SERVICED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL. THE CONTACT AND HIS PASSENGER AND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE WHERE IT WAS INSPECTED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS.

APPROX., DECEMBER 2017 (DONT REMEMBER EXACT DATE) MY TIRE SENSOR GAUGE KEPT COMING ON BUT THE TIRE IT INDICATED THAT HAD LOW AIR WAS NOT THE CORRECT TIRE. NOW FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS IT IS ON EVERYTIME I START AND DRIVE MY CAR AND SHOWS THAT THE TWO PASSENGER TIRES ARE LOW (FRONT 24 PSI AND BACK 0 PSI) BUT NEITHER TIRE IS FLAT OR LOW ON AIR, IN FACT NONE OF MY TIRES ARE LOW BUT I CANNOT TRUST WHAT TIRE THE GAUGE TELLS ME BECAUSE IT HAS NEVER BEEN ACCURATE SINCE IT BEGAN COMING ON AT THE END OF 2017. IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM OR IS THERE A WAY TO FIX IT SO IT CALCULATES THE CORRECT TIRES?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD A BANGING NOISE UNDERNEATH THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 62,000.

A BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON MY DASH, A FEW MINUTES LATER SEVERAL INDICATOR FLASHED ON (THE ABS, THE BRAKE, AND ESP/BAS FLASHED ON AND MY VEHICLE POWERED OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS EXTREMELEY DANGEROUS AND HAVE BEEN READING THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON DODGE MODELS. HOW CAN THIS BE CORRECTED?! IF THIS IS A REPEAT PROBLEM, WHY ISN'T IT YET A RECALL? THE CAR IS JUST SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING.

THERE IS A SMELL OF RAW FUEL INSIDE THE VEHICLE. SMELL COMES THROUGH THE AIR VENTS WHILE PARKED AND DRIVING. ALL THE TIME>

THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION AT 47,000 MILES IS HAVING A VERY HARD TIME SHIFTING INTO AND OUT OF GEAR AT IDLE. WITH CLUTCH PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR IT WILL NOT GO INTO OR OUT OF FIRST GEAR OR REVERSE. AFTER GETTING IT INTO GEAR AND DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FINE. THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH AND GREASE USED ON THIS YEAR MODEL

TAMARA INFLATOR. ELECTRONIC WINDOW CIRCUIT, POWER STEERING, CRITICAL COOLANT OVERFLOW

I WAS GOING ABOUT 50 MILES PER HOUR ON A BUSY FREEWAY WHEN MY ABS LIGHT TURNED ON LIGHTS IN THE PANEL START TO FLICKER AND ENGINE SHUTS OFF. THIS IS ONE OF MANY OCCURANCES ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP UNDER MY MOPAR SERVICE CONTRACT AND THEY REPLACED ALTERNATOR. ONE MONTH LATER ENGINE TURNS OFF AGAIN. 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS.

MY 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE ENGINE TURNS OFF AND I LOSE POWER STEERING. IT DOES THIS REPEATEDLY WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS BUT THE POWER STEERING MAKES IT VERY HARD TO TURN THE VEHICLE WHICH MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC OR ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK PRESS MY IGNITION START BUTTON TO TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY TO THE OFF POSITION AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATE AFTER THIS HAPPENS SO THE DODGE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED MY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED AND MY ESP, TRACTION CONTROL AND ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WAS DISABLED AND HASN'T BEEN ENABLED. AFTER STARTING THE CAR THE ESP, TC AND ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATE AND STAY ON. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE ARE NO TROUBLE CODES OR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT THOUSANDS OF OWNERS OF DODGE CHALLENGERS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THE SAME RESULT THAT THE DODGE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS CAN NOT FIND OR DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS RANDOM ENGINE SHUT OFF HAS HAPPENED AROUND 40 TIMES. IT'S HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY IN MOTION AT SPEEDS OF 75 MPH ON THE CITY STREET FROM 30-50 MPH AND WHEN LEAVING AN INTERSECTION AFTER THE STOP LIGHT TURNS GREEN LEAVING ME STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION IN DANGER OF BIENG HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE TURNING IN A INTERSECTION AND THE VEHICLE STOPPING WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC HEADING TOWARDS MY VEHICLE. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN HIT NUMEROUS TIMES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE PROOF OF MY VEHICLE TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH NO LUCK AS TO WHAT THE DANGEROUS PROBLEM IS.

2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE WINDOWS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS STOLEN DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE WINDOWS. UPDATED 10/25/2017*JS

CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN

THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I UNLOCK THE DOOR WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND WHEN I JUST OPEN THE DOOR IT CLICKS ABOUT 20-25 TIME OH YES AND WHEN I ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE TO A COLDER SETTING IT IS VERY ANNOYING I HAVE T NOTICED ANYTHING ELSE

ON A NORMAL LEFT TURN THE ENGINE STALLED.

GASOLINE LEAKING AROUND FUEL PUMP UNDER THE BACKSEAT INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. LEAKING UNDERNEATH VEHICLE IN FRONT OF REAR PASSENGER TIRE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING IN DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK. THE SMELL/FUMES ARE OVERWHELMING INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THERE IS A POOL OF GASOLINE ON MY DRIVEWAY. UPON RESEARCH, THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH DODGE VEHICLES WITH NO SAFETY RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR CLOSE TO A YEAR WITH NO HELP FROM DEALERSHIPS.

MY CAR LOST COMPLETE POWER WHILE TURNING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. THE VEHICLE IS DEAD AND WILL NOT START. THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING. THIS IS A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER HAVING A TIMING CHAIN RECALL REPAIR. DID THE CHAIN FAIL ANYWAY?

CAR STARTING SMELLING STRONGLY OF GASOLINE AFTER FILLING TANK. THE SMELL MAKES YOU VERY LIGHT HEADED AND IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I PARKED THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY AND GAS IS DRIPPING FROM 2 SPOTS IN FRONT OF THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE. I AM AFRAID TO START IT TO DRIVE IT TO A DEALER THINKING IT WILL CATCH ON FIRE. I HAVE CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO COME AND TAKE IT TO A DEALER. I AM TRYING TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT SO NOT ONE COMES AROUND IT WITH A CIGARETTE OR OTHER SOURCE OF IGNITION. MY HOUSE AND 2 GARAGES ARE IN DANGER OF THE LEAKING GAS UNTIL I CAN GET THE CAR TOWED AWAY FROM MY PROPERTY.

TAKATA AIRBAG, FUEL SYSTEM, KEY MODULE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE CAR STALLED WHILE IT WAS STATIONARY I HAD IT TOWED TO DODGE AND THEY SAID THE FUEL PUMPS WE'RE BAD, GOT FUEL PUMPS CHANGED CAR STILL WON'T START. THE LIGHTS IN THE INTERIOR WON'T COME ON, THE DOORS LOCKED AND UNLOCK OUT OF THE BLUE, THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. MY VIN SHOWS RECALLS BUT THERE ARE OTHER RECALLS FOR YR MK AND MODEL BUT NOT LISTED UNDER MY VIN HOWEVER MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES

ONE OF THE TWO FUEL PUMPS IN MY 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER HAD SOME SORT OF CRACK AND STARTED LEAKING. IT HAS RIGHT OVER 60,000 MILES ON IT. WE KEEP THIS CAR IN THE GARAGE ATTACHED TO ARE HOME. WE CAME HOME ONE DAY RIGHT AFTER WE FILLED THE GAS TANK UP ON THE CAR AND WE SMELLED GAS WHEN WE CAME HOME THAT DAY AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS ON ELF THE OTHER THINGS IN THE GARAGE SO WE REMOVED THAT THING. THE NEXT MORNING WE WOKE UP AND THE SMELL CAME IN THE HOUSE SO I WENT ONLINE AND STARTED LOOKING UP GAS SMELLS FROM 2010 CHALLENGER AND FOUND A FORUM OF CHALLENGER CAR OWNERS FROM 2009-2012 AND THEY ALL SAID IT WAS THEIR FUEL PUMP LEAKING SO I WENT HOME AND HOPED THE SWEAT UP AND COVER AND SHARE ENOUGH THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING GAS AND IT WAS DRIPPING ALL OVER AND RUNNING DON THE TANK WE REMOVED THE CAR FROM THE GARAGE AND IT NEVER WENT AWAY WE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD NOT HELP US EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A FAULT IN THE PUMPS IN THE CARS.

RECALL MALFUNCTION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF FUEL UNDER THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TRIED TO START THE CAR AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS AND RADIO WORKED JUST FINE. GOT SOMEONE TO GIVE ME A JUMP AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP SO I WENT AND BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND THAT WORKED FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS THEN THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER 2 1/2 DAYS THEY SAY IT'S THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE, OR THE TIPM.

2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 LIMITED EDITION (SRT8). THE SRT8'S TIRES LOSE AIR PRESSURE (5-10 POUNDS) WHENEVER A POTHOLE'S IS ENCOUNTERED OR GOING OVER A CURB LIP GREATER THAN ONE (1) INCH. DEALERSHIPS THAT PROVIDE AUTHORIZED FACTORY SERVICE HAVE TOLD ME THAT TIRE PRESSURE LOSS IS NORMAL AS THE SRT8 HAS FACTORY (OEM) ALUMINUM WHEELS THAT DEVELOP CRACKS IN THE CENTER OF THE WHEELS/RIMS FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THIS IS DEEMED UNACCEPTABLE AS THE SRT8 DOES NOT COME EQUIPPED WITH A SPARE TIRE AND THE TIRE INFLATOR KIT PROVIDED BY DODGE DOES NOT SEAL THE FACTORY (OEM) SRT8 ALUMINUM WHEELS/RIMS WHEN IT IS CRACKED. TIRE AIR PRESSURE LOSS OCCURS DRIVING AT NORMAL ROADWAY SPEEDS AS WELL AS UNDER 15 MILES PER HOUR TRAVELLING OVER DRIVEWAY AND, E.G., SHOPPING MALL ENTRANCES, CHANGES IN PAVEMENT GRADE, ETC.

TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR IS FINE BUT I HAVE BEEN WAITING 7 MONTHS FOR RECALL PARTS TO REPLACE MY AIRBAG INFLATOR. R37/NHTSA 15V-444. FIAT CHRYLSER AMERICA'S RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER (18008531403) IS JUST AN ANSWERING SERVICE WITH NO ACTUAL INFORMATION ABOUT AVAILABILITY OF PARTS AND ABOUT LIMITS TO HOW MANY PARTS A DEALER CAN ORDER. BUT THE REPRESENTATIVE MARK FROM THE RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER SAYS PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO BE ORDERED. MY LOCAL DEALER, NYLE MAXWELL SUPERCENTER, SAYS THAT FIAT CHRYSLER ONLY ALLOWS THEM TO ORDER 10 AT A TIME, AND THE 10 PARTS THEY HAVE ON HAND ARE ALREADY SCHEDULED TO BE USED FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S VEHICLES. THERE'S NO WAY TO FIND OUT WHY FIAT CHRYSLER ONLY ALLOWS THEM TO ORDER 10 AT A TIME, AND NYLE MAXWELL SUPERCENTER CLAIMS THERE'S NO WAY TO SPECIAL ORDER THE PART THAT I NEED, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE PART IS AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL (S43 - 16V-352, JULY 1, 2016) - "THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING MAY RUPTURE WHILE DEPLOYING DURING A CRASH. THE POTENTIAL FOR SUCH RUPTURES MAY OCCUR IN SOME OF THE SUBJECT AIRBAG INFLATORS AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF EXPOSURE TO PERSISTENT CONDITIONS OF HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AND/OR HEAT AGING. IN THE EVENT OF A FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENT(S) COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS." I OWN A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER AND AM STILL WAITING TO HAVE THIS RECALL FIXED. THERE WAS A SIMILAR RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE JULY 14, 2015 (R37 / 15V-444) -"THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING IN YOUR VEHICLE MAY RUPTURE, DUE TO EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE, DURING NORMAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EVENTS. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. THE INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE WITH METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." AN INFLATOR RUPTURE MAY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE THAT I USE TO TRANSPORT MY TEENAGER AND TODDLER. I AM AT RISK EVERY DAY WHEN I AM DRIVING MY VEHICLE. KNOWING THAT THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM EXISTS AND CANNOT BE FIXED IS EXTREMELY UNSETTLING.

RESEARCH SHOW A ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL . THIS HAS HAPPEN TWICE AND IS VERY COSTLY.

UPON STARTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPLIGHT THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN & THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. THEIR WAS A VEHICLE STOPPED AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION (4 WAY STOP). TO AVOID HITTING THEM I WENT TO THE RIGHT OF THE STOP SIGN. THERE WAS JUST ENOUGH ROOM IN BETWEEN THE STOP SIGN & A TELEPHONE POLE. I HAD SHIFTED THE CAR TO NEUTRAL, & FINALLY GOT IT STOPPED IN FRONT OF A HOUSE. I WAS VERY SHAKEN UP BY THIS & CALLED MY HUSBAND. HE SAID HE WOULD BE THERE ASAP. A MAN CAME OUT OF THE HOUSE & ASKED ME WAS I OK. I TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED & LET HIM KNOW MY HUSBAND WAS ON THE WAY. WHEN MY HUSBAND GOT THERE, HE GOT ME CALMED DOWN & SAID HE WAS GOING TO TRY TO DRIVE IT CAUTIOUSLY TO THE DEALER.

PURCHASED NEW IN 11/2010. 2 YEARS INTO OWNERSHIP, ON ABOUT 4 OCCURANCES, ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF, LOOSE STEERING CONTROL AND BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME WHILE MAKING A SLOW RIGHT HAND TURN. PROBLEM DISAPPEARED AND THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE OF SOME KIND. NOW 3 YEARS LATER IT HAS STARTED DOING IT AGAIN EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. WHEN THE ENGINE DIES YOU CAN BARELY STEER AND HAVE TO REALLY PULL HARD ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP FROM GOING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BRAKES DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY EITHER, YOU LOOSE ALL POWER BRAKING AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR THIS ISSUE EXTENSIVELY. WHAT I HAVE FOUND IS ABOUT A HUNDRED OTHER DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS ON SEVERAL FORUM SITES DESCRIBING EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. NOBODY HAD AN ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM AND FOUND JUST AS MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THAT PEOPLE SAID WERE WRONG RANGING FROM ECM FAILURE TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT MODULES AND LOOSE CONNECTIONS. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT WOULD ONLY OCCUR WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. NOW IT DOES IT AT ANY TIME NO MATTER WHETHER SITTING IN A PARKING LOT OR DRIVING ON THE STREET. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE KEY ALL THE WAY OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON TO START IT AND THERE IS ALWAYS A DELAY FROM THE TIME YOU DO THAT TILL THE TIME IT RESPONDS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE AS SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITHOUT IT EVER BEING CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL NOTICE IN APRIL AND STILL NO REMEDY (PARTS) AVAILABLE.

WHEN SHIFTING INTO 2ND GEAR SOMETIMES WONT LET THE GEAR GO INTO SLOT AND HAVE TO FORCE IT IN AND OUT. DODGE HAS A STAR CASE #K38556860 BUT IS NOT RECALLING THIS ISSUE AND FORCING THE BUYER TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. THE POWERTRAIN WARRENTY IS OUT OF DATE HOWEVER THERE ARE SO MANY OF THIS ISSUE ONLINE WHEN YOU SEARCH FOR IT THAT IT SEEMS DODGE SHOULD HAVE ALREADY MADE THIS A RECALL SINCE IT SEEMS THE MADE THE CORRECT FIX THE YEAR AFTER.

I HAD A TAKATA DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG RECALLED AND REPLACED. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, PERHAPS A YEAR, I RECEIVED VIA MAIL A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG; HOWEVER, THERE WERE NO AVAILABLE PARTS TO FIX IT. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. I'M WONDERING WHAT THE STATUS IS? HOW DO I GET THIS REPAIRED ETC. SHOULD I HAVE THE AIRBAG DISABLED? WILL ANYONE EVEN PERFORM THAT SERVICE?

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN TRAFFC AND THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN AND IT WOULD NOT CRANK UP ,I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED, BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL IS NOT PUMPING GAS INTO TTHE CAR.AND THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. CHRYSLER SAYS ITS THE ACC PEDAL SENSOR
