Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER AWD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE ABS AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE MADE A TICKING NOISE BEFORE STALLING. WHILE AT A RED LIGHT, THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT MOVED VERY SLOWLY. DURING EACH ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE, THE TICKING NOISE GREW LOUDER AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE EMERGING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE TICKING SOUND OCCURRED ONE OTHER TIME, BUT IT WENT AWAY. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 201,000.
I'VE HAD TO CHANGE CONTROL ARMS AND STRUTS MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE GETTING THE VEHICLE.
I'VE HAD MANY ISSUES WRONG WITH MY CAR. THE FIRST COMPLAINT I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS IS HOW THE CAR SHUTS OFF ON ME WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ON BUSY STREETS, MY CAR WILL SHUT OFF, BUT IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP. THIS IS A DANGEROUS HAZARD AND SAFETY CONCERN. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE GRESHAM DODGE (ON NE BURNSIDE) DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE (503-666-2277). I WAS TOLD "IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, BRING IT BACK" THERE WAS NO CONCERN WITH DODGE THAT THEY WERE SENDING A DANGEROUS VEHICLE BACK OUT ON THE ROAD, THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED NOW, NOT LATER. DODGE NEVER SOLVED THAT ISSUE. FURTHERMORE, MY CAR WAS STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION ON THE EVE OF 4-18-16. I TRIED TO GET IT INTO GEAR, WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. I HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK. WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW, I DECIDED TO GOOGLE DODGE CHARGERS STUCK IN PARK. ON YOUTUBE, THERE WERE SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THEY HAD VIDEO OF HOW TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. YOU HAD TO PRY THE COVERING OFF OF THE SHIFTING UNIT. STICK A PEN INSIDE TO MOVE A WIRE AROUND, IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR INTO GEAR. IT WORRIES ME THAT DODGE IS AWARE OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND OTHER ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES, YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO FIX IT. I COULD OF SERIOUSLY BEEN HURT OR SERIOUSLY HURT SOMEONE ELSE WHILE BEING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR JUST SHUTTING OFF. THEY SHOULD BE CONCERNED ENOUGH TO WANT TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT. AS I STATED BEFORE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE WITH OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE VERY SAME ISSUES. I DID FILE A COMPLAINT ON THE BBB WEBSITE, ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE. MY MAIN OBJECTIVE FOR THIS SITE IS TO BRING OUT HOW DANGEROUS IT IS TO OPERATE MY CAR UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, THAT DODGE DID NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT. SOUNDS AS IF THERE ARE TRANSMISSION AND OR ENGINE ISSUES WITH THE CAR THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.
THE CAR SHAKES AND SHIMMIES. IT HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR A FEW YEARS AND KEEPS GETTING WORSE. THE HIGHER THE SPEED THE MORE IT SHAKES. IT SHAKES RIGHT UP THE STEERING COLUMN INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. I FEAR THE SHAKING WILL RESULT IN OTHER PARTS FAILING WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. CAR IS VERY SCARY TO DRIVE. IF A STEERING ROD FAILS BECAUSE OF THIS IT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC.
HAD VEHICLE SIX YEARS AND HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT ( LEFT AND RIGHT) TENSION STRUTS FOUR TIMES. MAJOR FLAW IN VEHICLE WHERE TENSION STRUTS FAIL AFTER A FEW MONTHS AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. LOUD CLUNKING NOISE IS HEARD EVERY TIME VEHICLE ENCOUNTERS A BUMP OR IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD. SOUNDS LIKE VEHICLE IS FALLING APART. BELIEVE CHRYSLER'S ENGINEERS SHOULD REDESIGN PART AND HAVE IT REPLACED ON VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. *TR
DEFECTIVE SUSPENSION. *TR
1. NORMAL DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. 2. BALL JOINTS AND CONTROL ARMS WEAR WITHIN MONTHS OF REPAIR. RIGHT SIDE CONTROL ARM BROKE AND CAUSED CAR TO VEER VIOLENTLY TO THE LEFT WITH LIMITED TO NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BY DRIVER. ALSO SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO RIGHT SIDE TIRE. 3. VEHICLE HAD NEEDED BOTH CONTROL ARMS AND BALL JOINTS REPAIRED (AGAIN) DUE TO VEHICLE UPGRADES BY DODGE IF ONE CONTROL ARM IS DAMAGE BOTH CONTROL ARMS ON VEHICLE MUST BE REPLACE ALONG WITH TIRES WHICH ARE USUALLY DAMAGED, CAUSING THE OWNER ADDITIONAL AND UNEXPECTED COSTS. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. WHEN SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES THERE WAS A VERY LOUD NOISE IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES ARE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FRONT END WAS OUT OF LINE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE DEALER LATER STATED THAT TIRES CAUSED THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, A TIRE FACILITY CONFIRMED THAT THE TIRES WERE NOT RELATED TO THE FAILURE.
