2017 Dodge Charger Complaint Log

TAKATA RECALL, MY UCONNECT SCREEN IS FAULTY AND GLITCHES OUT AND CHANGES SETTINGS, TEMPERATURE, RADIO STATIONS, TURNS MY SEAT WARMERS ON AND BASICALLY WHATEVER ELSE IT PRESSES ON BY ITSELF. IT HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BOTH IN MOTION AND IDLE. THE INCIDENT STARTED HAPPENING RANDOMLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND I STILL HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT.

THE RIGHT REAR SEAT BELT BECAME LOCKED OUT WHILE UNBUCKLED DURING A STOP AT A RESTAURANT. WE RETURNED TO THE CAR TO FIND IT WOULDN'T RELEASE SO WE COULD BUCKLE UP TO CONTINUE OUR JOURNEY. WE TRIED LOOSENING THE SMALL PART THAT WAS ON A BOOSTER SEAT AND IT RETRACTED BUT STILL REFUSED TO RELEASE. THE SEAT BELT IS UNUSABLE AT THE MOMENT. WILL VISIT A DEALER.

MY VEHICLE HAD PROBLEMS JUST AFTER THE 1 YEAR MARK. IN OCTOBER 2018 FILLED THE GAS TANK AND BEGAN TO PULL AWAY FROM THE PUMP, AT THIS TIME THE CAR WAS IN "DRIVE" BUT DOWN-SHIFTED INTO WHAT FELT LIKE NEUTRAL. AN ERROR CODE RAN ACROSS THE DASH SAYING "PUSH P TO PARK, SELECT DESIRED GEAR". I PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF THEN ON AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED TWICE BUT IT STILL DID IT. I PARKED THE CAR, TURNED IT OFF AND HAD IT TOWED- DEALER SAID IT WAS FINE, AND WASN'T THROWING ANY CODES AND LET ME DRIVE AWAY. NOT 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND IT STARTED SMELLING OF GAS AND WAS RIDING VERY ROUGH AND BACKFIRING. I PULL OVER TO THE NEAREST NEXT DEALERSHIP AND THEY NOTICE THAT GAS IS POURING OUT THE BACK OF THE CAR. DIAGNOSED AS AN 'OVERFILLED CHARCOAL CANISTER' STATING THAT I OVERFILLED THE GAS TANK. WAS REPAIRED, I HAD TO SUBMIT TO HAVE IT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I GET THE VEHICLE BACK AND NOT 2 MONTHS LATER THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AFTER FILLING TANK WITH GAS. GAS IS POURING OUT THE BACK, GAS GAUGE IS GOING CRAZY RISING AND FALLING AND FINALLY DROPPING OFF AS GAS POURS OUT THE BACK. HAD IT TOWED AGAIN AND REPAIRED AT A 3RD DEALERSHIP. GIVEN BACK TO ME AND TOLD IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THAT WE OVERFILLED THE TANK. HAPPENED A THIRD TIME NOT 3 MONTHS LATER AND FINALLY THE ENTIRE GAS TANK WAS REPLACED. BROUGHT IT HOME AND WAS TOLD I SHOULD BE ABLE TO FILL IT, AS THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT WAS LIKELY A SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK CAUSING THE ISSUES. THE CAR SMELLED OF GAS AGAIN WHEN I STOPPED TO FILL THE TANK ON THE WAY BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP. MY HUSBAND PULLED THE SEATS BACK AND HAD TO SOAK UP THE OVERFLOW FROM THE CANISTER HIMSELF- I DON'T FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY ANYMORE FOR FEAR OF A FIRE. MY DAUGHTER COMPLAINS OF HEADACHES WHEN IN THE CAR- WONDERING IF ITS RELATED TO THE POOLING GAS UNDER HER CARSEAT. VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY DODGE.

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD

ELECTRICAL FIRE: OPENED CAR TO GO TO WORK IN THE MORNING 10/17/18 AND FOUND THAT INSIDE MY CAR IT WAS COVERED IN SOOT. THEN NOTICED ARM REST CONSOLE WAS MELTED AND UNDERNEATH WAS MELTED DOWN; EXPOSING WIRES. ALSO UPPER LIGHT IN TOP, FRONT, CENTER WAS MELTED (FROM HEAT). CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVE WAY OF MY HOME. THANKFUL WINDOWS WERE UP SO NO OXYGEN COULD FUEL THE FIRE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED MORE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY CAUGHT THE HOUSE ON FIRE WITH MY FAMILY INSIDE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED TO DODGE WHERE THEY STATED AN INVESTIGATION HAS TO BE OCCUR BEFORE THEY WILL HELP US OR LOOK INTO WARRANTY (WHICH WE HAVE). CPSC: 11/6/2018 UPDATE *DT *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, AN ABNORMAL WINDING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE HOOD LATCH WAS CORRODED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

BRAND NEW VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR BREAK PROBLEMS AND SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. MORE THAN ONE CERTIFIED DEALER HAVE REPLACED DRUMS, BREAK PADS AND TIE-ROD BUSHING WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. THE CAR SEVERELY SHAKES AT THE FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM WHEN BREAKING, PARTICULARLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND COMING DOWN HILLS. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE CAR DEALER(S) FOR AS LONG AS OVER A MONTH ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. A DRUMMING SOUND CAN BE HEAR WHEN VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THESE SYMPTOMS. TO THE DEALER'S RESPONSE (FREMONT CDJR) NO PROBLEMS ARE FOUND. LAME EXCUSES I HAVE HEARD FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT: ED MORGA/SERVICE AND PARTS DIRECTOR; [XXX]/SERVICE ADVISOR AND OTHERS STATE THAT THERE ARE NOT PROBLEMS; THAT THE VEHICLE IS TOO HEAVY FOR THIS TYPE OF BREAKING; NOISE WILL GO AWAY ONCE THE PARTS WARM-UP; SERPENTINE BELT AND OTHERS. ON THE OTHER HAND, SERVICE TECHNICIANS SUCH AS [XXX]/SHOP FOREMAN; [XXX]/ SERVICE TECHNICIAN AND OTHERS HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR ALONE WITH ME FOR TESTING; AND CORROBORATING SUCH PROBLEMS TO EXIST. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED TO THE DEALER SINCE THE SERVICE ON WITH 18,1403 MILES. VEHICLE HAS NOW 60,123 MILES AND THE PROBLEMS NEVER FIXED. A CARE CASE WAS FILED WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS (CARE CASE # [XXX]). ALSO THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FAILS. ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND COMMANDS LOCK/FREEZE OR DISAPPEAR WITHOUT WARNING, AFFECTING THE VEHICLE'S FUNCTIONALITY. DEALER STATES THAT THIS IS A SOFTWARE UPDATE ISSUE. NEVER GOT IT RESOLVED EITHER. I'M DESPERATELY SEEKING YOUR HELP SINCE I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN FOR ASSISTANCE. THESE ARE VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS THAT THE DEALER HAS TAKING FOR GRANTED. SAFETY CONCERNS THAT MAY AWAIT A TRAGEDY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. PLEASE ASSIST. REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 DODGE CHARGER. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE RADIO CONSOLE THAT CONTROLLED THE GPS, RADIO FEATURES, AND THE DEFROST FUNCTIONS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SCREEN WOULD OCCASIONALLY FREEZE OR DISPLAY A BLANK SCREEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FERMAN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM OF NEW PORT RICHEY (4023 US-19, NEW PORT RICHEY, FL 34652, (727) 847-5555) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THE FAILURE.

I WAS SPEEDING ABOUT 80MPH AND HIT THE BREAKS AND MY SEAT BELT LOCKED WHEN I STOPPED AND IT NEVER UNLOCK I HAD TO GET EMERGENCY TO COME AND CUT OFF MY SEAT BELT AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP

I GET REPEATED WEATHER ALERTS FROM U-CONNECT SCREEN SYSTEM. THE ALERTS COME FROM SERIUS SATELLITE TRAVEL LINK SYSTEM. THEY POP UP AND BLOCK WHATEVER IS DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN LIKE RADIO OR MAPS. THEY CONTINUE TO BLOCK THE SCREEN UNTIL THE DRIVER REACHES OVER TO TURN THEM OFF - DISTRACTING THEIR EYES AND HAND FROM DRIVING! NEITHER SERIUS OR DODGE ARE UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO TURN THEM OFF. DURING A RECENT WINTER STORM THIS WAS VERY HAZARDOUS BECAUSE MANY ROADS WERE CLOSED AND I COULDN'T FIND A WAY HOME BECAUSE THE ALERTS WERE SO FREQUENT THEY CONTINUOUSLY BLOCKED THE MAP APP - AS I WAS TRYING TO DRIVE HOME.

THE "SEVERE WEATHER ALERTS" THAT SHOW UP ON THE RADIO SCREEN FOR WEATHER THAT IS HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY ARE DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS. THE ONLY WAY TO CLEAR THE ALERTS IS TO TAKE YOUR HAND OFF THE WHEEL AND USE THE TOUCH SCREEN. THESE ALERTS ARE GENERATED BY THE SIRIUS XM TRAVEL LINK APP AND SIRIUS IS UNABLE, OR MORE LIKELY, UNWILLING TO DISABLE THE ALERTS EVEN WHEN ASKED.

LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER OURCHASING NEW 2017 DODGE CHARGER RT THE DOOR PANELS ON ALL 4 DOORS STARTED TO BOW AND SEPARATE FROM THE PANEL

THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE FABRICATION IN ALL THE HOODS OF THE DODGE CHARGERS THAT CAUSES THE HOOD LATCH PIN TO CORRODE. MY CHARGER IS BRAND NEW AND HAS CORROSION ON THE HOOD. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. LET UNCHECKED, THIS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS IF THE HOOD CORRODES ENOUGH TO WHERE THE LATCH PIN BECOME DETACHED FROM THE HOOD WHILE DRIVING.

THE UCONNECT INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IN FCA VEHICLES HAS A DEFECT THAT WILL CAUSE MULTIPLE WEATHER ALERTS FOR AREAS HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY. THE ERRANT WEATHER ALERTS TAKE OVER THE ENTIRE SCREEN AND REQUIRE THE DRIVER TO TAKE THEIR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO EXIT OUT OF THE ALERT. THE ALERT WILL NOT GO AWAY ON IT'S OWN, AND YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE RADIO OR HVAC SYSTEM WITHOUT READING AND EXITING OUT OF THE ALERT. ALSO, THE UCONNECT SYSTEM HAS NO OPTION TO DISABLE WEATHER ALERTS. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU CANNOT STOP THEM FROM HAPPENING IN THEIR CURRENT BUILD. I'VE CALLED DODGE AND UCONNECT MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THERE IS STILL NO RESOLUTION. ALL THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS UCONNECT NEEDS TO ADD THE OPTION IN THE SETTINGS TO TOGGLE WEATHER ALERTS ON OR OFF. IT SHOULD TAKE A PROGRAMMER AN HOUR TO ACCOMPLISH THIS SIMPLE TASK. JUST TODAY I GOT 4 WEATHER ALERTS FOR COUNTIES BETWEEN 140 AND 400 MILES AWAY FROM MY CURRENT LOCATION ON MY 5 MILE DRIVE, EACH ONE REQUIRING ME TO PHYSICALLY CLOSE THE SCREEN TO GET BACK TO THE NAVIGATION PAGE. FORCING DRIVERS TO READ AND INTERACT WITH MULTIPLE DEFECTIVE WEATHER ALERTS CAN BE AS DANGEROUS AS TEXTING AND DRIVING. WHEN I CALLED DODGE, THEY SAID THE ISSUE IS WITH UCONNECT. UCONNECT TOLD ME NOTHING CAN BE DONE. WHEN I MESSAGED DODGE, THEY TOLD ME SIRIUS XM IS TO BLAME FOR SENDING THE ALERTS. SO WE HAVE A 3 WAY FINGER POINTING CONTEST HERE THAT NOBODY WANT TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR. ALL I WANT IS FOR UCONNECT TO GIVE DRIVERS THE OPTION TO DISABLE WEATHER ALERTS TO KEEP THEIR ATTENTION ON THE ROAD.

IT WAS ONLY SERVICED BY DODGE DEALERSHIP , IT HAS NOT BEEN HOT RODED, RACED, OR MISTREATED I OWN A $40,000 PLUS CAR THAT HAD 14,770 MILES ON IT I COULD NOT EVEN DRIVE IT IN THE RAIN!!!!!!! IAM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE NOT OF A CRASH BUT COULD EASILY BEEN I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW SET OF TIRES AT A 50% DISCOUNT AND STILL COST $800 I NEVER IN MY LIFE, FELT SO DISAPPOINTED THIS IS BAD BUSINESS BOTTOM LINE!! FOR BRIDGESTONE AND DODGE I DIDN'T PICK THESE TIRES, YALL DID I INTRUSTED YOU AS A TIRE MANFACTURE AND DODGE AS A CAR COMPANY TO PUT THE BEST PERFORMANCE SPEED RATED TIRE FOR MY CAR ON THAT CAR I LIVE IN SEWANEE,TN ABOUT AN HOUR FROM YOUR LA VERN TENN PLANT I ALWAYS TRY TO STAY USA BUT IF THIS IS WHAT MY HARD EARNED MONEY GETS ME , ITS A SAD DAY IN THIS WORLD HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU WERE ME?

NOISE FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AREA. WHEN GOING SPEEDS OF 65+ MPH THERE IS A HOWLING/WHINING NOISE THAT IS CONSTANT. WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS IT GOES AWAY. WHEN I GET BACK ON THE GAS IT COMES BACK. I HAVE HAD THE REAR DIFF REPLACED AND HAVE HAD IT IN MULTIPLE TIMES FOR DIAGNOSTICS/FLUID CHANGES WITH NO FIX IN SITE. FCA TOLD ME, TO BAD, THAT IS A NORMAL NOISE AND THERE IS NOTHING ELSE WE CAN DO TO FIX THE ISSUE. A BRAND NEW CAR WITH AN OLD CAR NOISE? UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE VIDEOS, REPAIR DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THE NOISE. *TT *TR

SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE I NOTICED A STRONG FUEL SMELL OUTSIDE AND INSIDE MY CAR AND WHEN THE AIR WAS ON THE SMELL WAS COMING THROUGH THE AIR VENTS. I BROUGHT IT IN THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SMELLED THE GAS OUTSIDE THE CAR. THEY PULLED UP MY BACKSEATS AND THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF GAS THAT LEAKED FROM THE FUEL PUMP. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND A FEW DAYS AFTER GETTING MY CAR BACK WHEN I FILLED UP MY TANK AGAIN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND THIS TIME IT WAS LEAKING GAS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR. AFTER THAT 2ND REPAIR I GOT MY CAR BACK AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER AFTER I FILLED UP MY TANK AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE 3RD TIME THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE GAS TANK. THE CAR STILL HAS A STRONG GAS SMELL THAT CAUSES ME TO HAVE HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, AND NAUSEA. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR BECAUSE LATELY SINCE I'VE BEEN HAVING THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR LEAKING GAS I'VE BEEN GETTING ALOT OF STATIC SHOCK WHEN I TOUCH MY CAR.

THIS CAR IS POSSESSED. IT WILL SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND COME TO A STOP. THERE WILL BE NOTHING IN FRONT OF YOU AND THE CAR WILL SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND STOP. IT HAS DONE IT AT SLOW SPEEDS AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR THE DEALER TO LOOK AT IT BUT THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. THIS CAR IS GOING TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

MY 2017 DODGE CHARGER IS EXPERIENCING "HARD SHIFTING" WHEN I GET IN THE VEHICLE AND START DRIVING IT. I JUST GOT IT BACK FROM THE DEALER YESTERDAY (THE SECOND TIME I DROPPED IT OFF) AND THEY SAY THEY EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM BUT BECAUSE THERE WERE NO CODES, THEY ARE REFERRING THE PROBLEM BACK TO DODGE. THEY APPLIED COMPUTER UPDATES TO THE PCM AND TCM ON THE FIRST TRIP AND THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 6,700 MILES ON IT.

MY 2017 DODGE CHARGER DAYTONA 392 (R/T SCAT PACK) HAS AN INHERENTLY DANGEROUS INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL FAILURE. WHILE TRAVELING 77MPH ON INTERSTATE 70 THE EVIC SCREEN INDICATED A FCW WARNING WITH THE SYSTEM TURNED OFF, LOSS OF THE ABS, ESP, SRS, THEN TOTAL LOSS OF ELECTRIC STEERING WITH NO THROTTLE OR BREAKING INPUT RESPONSE. SAID VEHICLE THEN VIOLENTLY DOWNSHIFTED FROM 8TH GEAR TO 3RD GEAR CAUSING THE REAR WHEELS TO BREAK TRACTION SUBSEQUENTLY RESULTING IN FULL LOSS OF LATERAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I FULLY DEPRESSED THE EMERGENCY BREAK AS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DRIFT TO THE LEFT RESULTING IN FLAT SPOTS ON BOTH REAR TIRES AS I SKIDDED TO A HAULT. I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WITH 4 LOCAL DEALERS IN KANSASCITY TO NO RESOLVE. AFTER THIS FAILURE OCCURS AND THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME THE GAGUE LIGHTNING FLASHES INTERMITTENTLY THEN FLASHING/CLEARING THE PCM WIPING EVERY CODE OUT. ONCE CAPTURED BY A SERVICE WRITER STATIONARY AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP USING THE OBD2 DATA RECORDER WERE 277 FAULTS ALL SIGHTING ELECTRICAL OVER VAULTS AND ELECTRICAL FAILURE OF THE TCM. FCA ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER WHO DID NOTHING. AFTER CONSISTENT CALLS TO FCA CORPERATE I WAS ASSIGNED A "STAR CASE" AND SAID CASE WAS GIVEN TO THE 91 TEAM WHO HAVE ALSO DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. THIS VEHICLE ISN'T JUST DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY AND MYSELF BUT OTHER MOTORISTS AS WELL SIGHTING TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL WHEN THIS EVENT OCCURS. I PURCHASED SAID VEHICLE MARCH 20, 2017 AND HAVE DEALT WITH THIS SINCE DAY 8 OF OWNERSHIP. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 8,522 MILES AND THERE'S NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT. I CAN'T EVEN GET LOCAL DEALERS TO CHANGE THE OIL UNDER THE MVP MAXCARE UNLIMITED WARRANTY.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH LIGHT FOR SAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT USABLE AT NIGHT WITHOUT OPERATING THE HIGH BEAMS. A STATE POLICE OFFICER CHECKED THE LIGHTS AND COMMENTED THEY WERE THE WORST HE HAS SEEN. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED!

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER STATES THE BODY CONTROL MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE. THE ORIGINAL MODULE #68354142 IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH REVISION AA AND REVISION AB BOTH ON BACKORDER. VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERS FOR 24 DAYS WAITING ON NEW MODULE. MODULE IS SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE AT DEALERS LOCATION 4/10/2017. THIS MODULE CONTROLS EVERYTHING INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND IS LINKED TO THE BATTERY. THIS MODULE CREATED A CONSTANT DRAIN OF POWER, MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO TAKE ANYWHERE. ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS UNTIL THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED.
