2013 DODGE CHALLENGER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
