HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES.

CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE AS I WAS DRIVING IT THIS WAS 4 HOURS AFTER I PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR GETTING THE TOURQUE CONVERTER FIXED. I THINK THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT CAUSED IT. I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT ONLY GOING 7-10 MPH. DALLAS PD DOESN'T COME OUT IF IT'S ON PRIVATE PROPERTY I AM STILL WAITING MY FIRE REPORT IN THE MAIL. I HAVE UNSURE CLAIM NUMBERS FROM 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE. (CHRYSTLER. NATIONAL GENERAL INSURANCE. HARCO NATIONAL INSURANCE.)

THIS CAR HAS BEEN A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE, AND THE WORST CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT WAS TAKEN TO THE SHOP WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH AND THEY REPLACED THE OIL SENDING UNIT, THEN THIS YEAR WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND WHEN ACCELERATING WITH THE RPM GOING ABOVE 3 THE CAR WOULD LOOSE POWER. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AGAIN AND THEY DIDN'T FIX IT BUT UPDATED THE TRANSMISSION WHICH RESOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR A LITTLE WHILE. WELL TODAY THE TRANSMISSION STARTED AGAIN DOING THE SAME THING. I WILL HAVE TO TAKE THIS CAR BACK INTO THE SHOP. I'VE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW AND IT CURRENTLY HAS 60,250 MILES. I WAS ALWAYS A DODGE FAN BUT I THINK THIS CAR HAS CHANGED ME TO A DIFFERENT BRAND. *TR

POWER STEERING STARTED LEAKING AT ROUGHLY 60K MILES CAUSING STEERING ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY HAD TO CONSTANTLY BE CHARGED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS LEFT STRANDED MORE THAN ONCE. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW WENT UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN AND WAS DRAINING THE POWER TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED AN UNKNOWN RECALL NOTICE TO SERVICE THE ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM ALBANY (701 E OGLETHORPE BLVD, ALBANY, GA 31705, (229) 518-3095) FOR THE REPAIR. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, THE DRIVER'S WINDOW BEGAN GOING UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN AND DRAINED THE POWER. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT FURTHER REPAIRS WERE REQUIRED. THE CONTACT REPORTED THE FAILURES TO THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE AND AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR TO INDICATE THAT THE REMEDY FAILED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED NO SOLUTION OTHER THAN HAVING THE DEALER REPLACE THE LATCH TO THE DOORS. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED 17 TSBS FOR THE ELECTRICAL AND THREE ELECTRICAL RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALER 3 TIMES SO FAR FOR FAILURE TO START. CAR WILL CRANK CONTINUALLY BUT NEVER START. EVENTUALLY THE CAR WILL SHUT ITSELF OFF. PCM WAS REPLACED ON FIRST REPAIR. CAR RAN FINE FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN THE PROBLEM RESURFACED. CAR WAS BROUGHT IN AGAIN FOR REPAID AND THE TIPM AS WELL AS SOME WIRING WAS REPLACED. CAR RAN FINE AGAIN FOR TWO DAYS AND THE PROBLEM RESURFACED. HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER BUT UPON RECEIVING THE CAR THE DEALER SAID THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP WITH NO ISSUES. THE DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR TWO WEEKS IN AN ATTEMPT TO REPRODUCE THE FAILURE WITH NO SUCCESS. CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME WITH A SUGGESTION TO CALL THEM DIRECTLY THE NEXT TIME IT FAILS TO START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN PILOT MXM4 TIRES, SIZE: P235/55/R18 (NA). WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED CRACKS ON THE THREADS OF ALL FOUR TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED AND STATED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70 MILE THE CAR POWER WENT OUT ON ABS AND THEN ALL GAGES SHOWED ZERO, STEERING WENT OUT AND CAR SHUT OF COMPLETELY GOING AT 60 THEN. NO BRAKES NO STEERING ENGINE SHUTS OFF WAS SO SCARED .... CAR HAD TO COME TO A STOP ON IT OWN HAD STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY

ABOUT 25% OF THE TIME, WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT 40 MPH AND GRADUALLY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR TO BEGIN A CLIMB UP A SLIGHT HILL, THE ENGINE RPM AND VEHICLE SPEED WILL NOT INCREASE, AND THE VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO RUN AT 40 MPH WITH ACCELERATOR POSITION INCREASING FROM 10% TO 80%. DURING THIS THROTTLE RESPONSE FAILURE, THE AUTO STICK SHIFT WAS USED TO DOWNSHIFT FROM 4TH TO 3RD GEAR, THE EVIC DISPLAY CHANGED TO 3RD GEAR BUT AND TRANSMISSION REMAINED IN 4TH. AFTER 8 SECONDS OF THROTTLE DELAY (TIMING MAY VARY), THE VEHICLE WILL DOWN SHIFT AND ACCELERATE. THIS UNPREDICTABLE THROTTLE RESPONSE HAS A POTENTIAL OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT IF THIS THROTTLE RESPONSE FAILURE OCCURS DURING A SITUATION OF PASSING OR AVOIDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DODGE DEALER ON NOV 2015 AND APR 2016, AND THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND CONCLUDED THAT THE VEHICLE IS FINE. THEY COULD NOT REPEAT THE FAILURE AND TOLD ME EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. DODGE WILL NOT, OR CANNOT FIX THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS THROTTLE RESPONSE FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON EVERY TWO WEEKS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2015. I HAVE AN OPEN CASE WITH DODGE HOWEVER THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING AS OF TODAY. THEY SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS STATING THE HITCH IS THE ISSUE HOWEVER THE HITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED 6 TIMES. I AM UNSURE IF THIS IS AN RECALL ISSUE OR NOT HOWEVER I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT I WILL NOT SURVIVE AN ACCIDENT OR THE AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY IN A MINOR SITUATION CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE OR DEATH. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY AS WELL AS IN MOTION.

I WAS DRIVING NORMAL SPEED AT 60 WHEN I PROCEEDED TO GET OVER I PUSH THE GAS A LITTLE BIT THE CAR RPM WHEN HIGH BUT THE CAR DID NOT SPEED UP I LOOKED AT THE DASH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I TOOK IT TO HAVE IT SCANNED AT ADVANCE AUTO AND AUTO ZONE THEY BOTH GAVE ME THE SAME CODE OF P0741 THAT IS A TRANSMISSION CODE I DRIVE MY CAR DAILY TO WORK AND HOME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON 2 DAYS THEN GO OFF FOR ONE DAY THEN BACK ON IF U ACCELERATE THEN RELEASE THE PEDAL IT MAKE A HARD JERK FROM THE REAR END THIS IS NOT THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAD I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW IN MARCH 2013 AND THE WINDOW SWITCH WENT OUT AND 2 MONTHS AGO THE AC CONTROL WENT OUT AND NOW THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM NOT ONLY THAT MY FIANCE JEEP IS 2014 WITH 29000 MILES ON IT AND THE HEATED SEATS NOT WORKING OR THE HEAT AND DON JACKSON IN UNION CITY GA HAS HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT BEEN TRYING TO GET PARTS FOR 2 MONTHS FOR THE JEEP TO SOMEONE THAT IS PAYING 1100 A MONTH IN CAR PAYMENTS FROM DODGE I SHOULD BE TREATED RESPECTFULLY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT HESITATED AS IF IT WOULD STALL. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES FOR MONTHS AND INDICATED THAT THEY ONLY HAD FOUR PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE DEALER STATED THAT IT MAY BE LONGER THAN A MONTH BEFORE THEY COULD ORDER THE PART, WHICH WAS UNREASONABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO PROVIDE THE PART AND RECALL REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER.

I BOUGHT A 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER RT CLASSIC NEW IN MAY OF 2013 IN NAMPA, IDAHO. THE CAR CAME WITH 245/45ZR20 GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 SUPERCAR TIRES. LAST SUMMER, WE HAD ONE TIRE REPLACED DUE TO A NAIL IN THE SIDEWALL WITH THE SAME GOODYEAR TIRE (ALTHOUGH IT HAD A YEAR NEWER MANUFACTURED DATE CODE). THE OTHER 3 TIRES WERE STILL ORIGINAL. THE CAR IS NOW A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS OLD. THERE WERE ONLY 20K MILES ON THE CAR AND TIRES WHEN THIS TOOK PLACE. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR AND STORED INSIDE. THE TIRES HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PRESSURES LESS THAN 32 POUNDS OF AIR IN THEM (DUE TO SENSORS MONITORING THE TIRES). THE WEEKEND OF 7/11/15 WE STARTED OUT ON A TRIP FROM CALDWELL, ID TO KALISPELL, MT (WE WERE TAKING THE SCENIC ROUTE ON WINDY BACK ROADS). WE GOT 50 MILES INTO OUR TRIP BEFORE WE GOT A LOW AIR PRESSURE WARNING ON ONE OF THE TIRE SENSORS (THE RIGHT REAR). WE STOPPED AND HAD THE TIRES CHECKED. THEY FOUND ALL 4 TIRES AT VARIOUS STAGES HAD THE INNER SIDEWALLS COMING APART ON THE TIRES (EVEN THE NEWER ONE WITH 10K MILES ON IT). WE HAD ALL OF THE TIRES REPLACED. I HAVE THESE OLD DEFECTIVE TIRES IN MY GARAGE. I DID NOT PUT GOODYEAR TIRES BACK ON THE CAR DUE TO THEM NOT BEING AVAILABLE AT THE TIRE STORE. I HAVE WORKED ON CARS ALL MY LIFE. THESE TIRES WERE NEVER ABUSED AND THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I FEAR FOR OTHERS LIVES. IF THE SIDEWALL OF ONE OF THESE TIRES COMPLETELY BLEW OUT, THE CAR WOULD LIKELY BE UNCONTROLLABLE. I HAVE DONE SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET AND I AM NOT THE FIRST TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF TIRE. I REALLY FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. WHEN TRYING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH DODGE AND GOODYEAR, ALL THAT WAS OFFERED TO ME WAS A 'ROAD HAZARD' VOUCHER FOR $491 AND ONLY IF I PUT GOODYEAR TIRES BACK ON THE CAR. THEY WERE WELL AWARE I HAD ALREADY CHANGED THE TIRES AND DID NOT HAVE ANY INTEREST IN PUTTING UNSAFE GOODYEAR TIRES BACK ON MY CAR.

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (P60/NHTSA 14V634) STATING DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE ALTERNATOR THE CAR COULD LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND/OR CATCH ON FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. ALSO STATED THERE WERE NO PARTS TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. ON THE NIGHT OF FEB 26 I STARTED THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT OF A STORE CLOSE TO HOME AND HEARD AN UNUSUAL SOUND FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WAS ALREADY MOVING SO I DROVE THE HALF MILE HOME PULLED IN GARAGE AND OPENED THE HOOD. THE ALTERNATOR WAS SMOKING HEAVILY. I PULLED THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE TURNED IT OFF, CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL LINE AND THEY SET UP TOWING TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP FOR THE NEXT MORNING. IT TOOK 2 HOURS FOR THE ALTERNATOR TO QUIT SMOKING. THE NEXT MORNING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. NO POWER ANYWHERE FOR ANYTHING. I CALLED SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF ELK GROVE CHRYSLER AND TALKED TO A SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THE CAR COMING IN ON A FLAT BED. WAS ADVISED THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE RECALL PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT AND THAT I COULDN'T GET A LOANER BECAUSE I HADN'T TAKEN OUT THE EXTENDED COVERAGE..?? HE SAID THE FIX MAY ONLY TRAKE THE ONE DAY ANYWAY SO NO NEED FOR A LOANER. THE FIX TOOK 2 DAYS. PICKED THE CAR UP AND SEEMS OK. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT IT WAS FIXED WITH THE SAME TYPE OF ALTERNATOR THAT THE RECALL IS FOR. STILL NO ALTERNATORS AVAILABLE THAT HAVE THE PROBLEMS CORRECTED SO I' RIGHT BACK WHERE I STARTED OR WORSE, THIS WEBSITE NOW SHOWS MY CAR AS BEING FIXED AND HAVING NO APPLICABLE RECALLS. I DON'T TRUST MY CAR, NOT SURE I TRUST CHRYSLER AT THIS POINT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY DIED. I FIGURED IT WAS DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR RECALL. AFTER GETTING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS WATER IN THE INTAKE AND I MUST HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH HIGH WATER. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN THROUGH HIGH WATER. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 2013 DODGE CHALLENGERS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. HOW CAN WATER GET INTO A MOTOR FOR NO REASON AND CAUSE IT TO DIE AS YOU ARE DRIVING? IF YOU DRIVE WHEN IT IS RAINING OR IF YOU HIT A PUDDLE ON THE BLACKTOP IT IS GOING TO CAUSE YOUR CAR TO JUST DIE? IF WASN'T RAINING WHEN IT HAPPENED TO MINE AND THERE WAS NO WATER ON THE ROAD BUT IT HAD RAINED EARLIER IN THE DAY MAYBE 4 HOURS PRIOR TO THE CAR DYING. *TR

BEARINGS STARTED FALLING OUT, WHICH ALLOWS THE SEAT TO SLIDE FORWARD AND BACKWARDS. WITHOUT THESE BEARINGS THE SEAT WILL NO LONGER SLIDE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS, WHEN AN ADJUSTMENT IS NEEDED. HOWEVER, WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE SEAT WILL SLIDE FORWARD FOR NO REASON, OR WHEN I ACCELERATE THE SEAT WILL SLIDE BACKWARDS. MY MOM'S KNEES WERE DAMAGED DURING A MINOR COLLISION BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. SHE IS IN HER 80'S. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AND MAY THRUST SOMEONE FORWARD DURING AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. MY AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY AS I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND THIS WAS DURING A RIGHT TURN AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, SO THERE WASN'T ENOUGH SPEED TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS.

RECALL SENT TO HOME P60 / NHTSA 14V-634 FOR 160-AM ALTERNATOR PROBLEM: THE ALTERNATOR DIODES IN YOUR VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE RAPID FAILURE. VARIABILITY IN THE FAILURE MODE RANGES FROM NO OUTPUT, REDUCED OUTPUT, AND/OR A FULLY SHORTED TO GROUND CONDITION. DEPENDENT ON THE ALTERNATOR FAILURE MOD AND TIMING, VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM VOLTAGE MAY DROP TO CRITICAL LEVELS, DISABLING SYSTEMS SUCH AS ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE AND/OR CENTRAL BODY CONTROLLER. THE DRIVER WILL HAVE LIMITED OR NO DETECTION OF THE ALTERNATOR FAILING, WHICH CAN RESULT IN VEHICLE SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING AND/OR AN UNDER-HOOD ELECTRICAL FIRE. CHRYSLER INTENDS TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE FREE OF CHARGE (PARTS AND LABOR) HOWEVER, THE PARTS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION ARE CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE. CHRYSLER IS MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO OBTAIN THESE PARTS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. WILL CONTACT YOU AGAIN BY MAIL, WITH A FOLLOW-UP RECALL NOTICE, WHEN THE REMEDY PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TODAY TO SEE ABOUT ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION 800-853-1403 AND WAS TOLD THAT NONE WAS BEING PROVIDED AT THIS TIME AND THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS AN IRRESPONSIBLE RESPONSE, CONSIDERING THE ITEMS LISTED ABOVE IN THE RECALL SUCH AS ELECTRICAL FIRE AND FAILURE FOR THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE AND CONTROL ABS ETC. DURING DRIVING. I INFORMED THE CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE THAT THIS WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO PUT OUR FAMILY MEMBER BEHIND THE WHEEL AND THAT THIS WAS CHRYSLER'S BURDEN TO REPAIR IN A TIMELY MANNER OR PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION. WE CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. OTHER PEOPLE GO ON TO DRIVE THEIR RECALLED VEHICLES, ONLY TO HAVE ACCIDENTS AND UNFORTUNATELY DEATH DUE TO THESE RECALLS; (RECENT CHEVROLET IGNITION ISSUES ETC.) *TR
