IN OCTOBER 2018, I WENT TO YOUR DEALERSHIP (PLANET FORD) LOCATED IN HUMBLE TEXAS. I PURCHASE (DEBIT CARD) TWO VEHICLES OFF OF THE LOT. I PURCHASED A DODGE CHALLENGER 2019 (HEMI V8 RT), AND CHEVROLET TAHOE 2007. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DODGE CHALLENGER SINCE IT HAD LESS THAN 50,000 MILES HAD A BUMPER TO BUMPER COVERAGE STILL WITH DODGE. I STARTED HAVING MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE DODGE CHALLENGER. I SPOKE WITH STEWARD (WHO SOLD ME THE EXTENDED WARRANTY) AT PLANET FORD IN HUMBLE, TEXAS AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO TEXAN DODGE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE HAD MULTIPLE ENGINE PROBLEMS AND IT WOULD REQUIRE ANOTHER ENGINE TO BE PUT INTO THE CAR. IN DECEMBER, I PICKED THE CAR UP AND HAD TO PAY $160.00 DEDUCTIBLE. I LOST TIME FROM WORK, AND ENDED UP BEING FIRED. IN DECEMBER 2018, THE VEHICLE SUFFERED A THROTTLE PROBLEM. AGAIN, I HAD TO PAY $ 114.00 DEDUCTIBLE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RELEASED (AFTER A WEEK). NOW, JANUARY 2019, I HAVE AN OIL LEAK. I WENT INTO TEXAN DODGE AND SPOKE TO MRS. SHEFFIE (AFTER CALLING HER MULTIPLE TIMES), AND SHE TOLD ME THAT I MIGHT HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER DEDUCTIBLE AND THAT THE CAR HAD PRIOR ISSUES WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I TOLD HER THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A NEW ENGINE THAT TEXAN DODGE (THEIR DEALERSHIP) PUT IN AND ALSO WORKED ON THE FAULTY THROTTLE IN 2018. SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WANT SURE IF PLANET FORD (WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY) WOULD COVER THE OIL LEAK. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT A PRIOR CLAIM WAS PUT ON THE VEHICLE BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2018. NOT ONLY AM I GETTING THE RUN AROUND, BUT I KNOW THAT ACCORDING TO THE PRIOR INSURANCE CLAIM THAT WAS PUT ON THE VEHICLE THAT PLANET FORD WAS AWARE OF THE DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLE. I ALSO PAID 2 TIMES FOR DEDUCTIBLES AND NOW THE VEHICLE STILL HAS AN OIL LEAK. THANK YOU.

WE HAD ONE OF OUR 2013 DODGE CHARGER PPV FAIL TO CRANK. AFTER DETERMINING THAT ENGINE WAS NOT GETTING FUEL, WE REMOVED FUEL PUMPS. WE FOUND DRIVERS SIDE FUEL PUMP ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR HAD GOTTEN SO HOT THAT IT MELTED TOP PUMP COVER AND CREATED A FUEL LEAK. THIS CONDITION HAPPENED INSIDE FUEL TANK WHICH SEEMS LIKE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A FUEL TANK FIRE. WE REPLACE BOTH FUEL PUMPS WITH NEW COVER. WE HAVE 7 OF THESE VEHICLES BUT THIS IS THE ONLY INCIDENT THAT WE ARE AWARE OF SO FAR. I DO HAVE OLD PART AND PICTURES.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO AND NOW THE CAR HAS BEEN MISFIRING GIVING ME VARIOUS ERROR CODES WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ON THE ROADS. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM, ACURA OF FREMONT, HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALLS. THE VEHICLE HAS GIVEN ME THE P0132 AND RECENTLY P0300 ERROR CODE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CHRYSLER AND DODGE DEALERSHIP IN SAN LEANDRO, CA AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIND AN ISSUE WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THEY SAW THE P0300 ERROR CODE AND THE CAR SHAKING IMMENSELY. I TOLD THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE AFTER I FELT THE STRONG SHAKING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING MAKING DINGING SOUNDS AND TICKING SOUNDS. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT TO TRY AGAIN IN THE MORNING AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND NO ISSUE ON THE VEHICLE. THE NEXT DAY, THE CAR STARTS JERKING ON THE FREEWAY SLIPPING IN POWER CAUSING THE CAR TO SHAKE. AFTER RESEARCHING, THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THIS SPECIFIC YEAR AND MODEL THAT I HAVE, A CYLINDER HEAD MISFIRE THAT THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING.

WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER FAR WORSE THAN ANY MANUAL STEERING I HAVE DRIVEN IN OVER 50 YEARS. ONLY 17,500 MILES ON CAR. STEERING PUMP ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. CAR WAS IN MOTION. CITY AND HIGHWAY BOTH.
