TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THERE WAS A COOLANT ODOR PRESENT AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS JUMP STARTED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED SMOKE FUMES FROM THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WEEP HOLE WAS FAILED ON THE WATER PUMP AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000.

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED MY CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED AS IT LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND TURN THE CAR OFF BUT IT WOULD NOT RESTART.

OUR 2009 DODGE CHARGER WAS IN THE GARAGE, I NOTICED SMOKE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE AND WENT INTO THE GARAGE AND OUR CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE GARAGE AND SMOKE & WATER DAMAGE TO THE ENTIRE HOUSE. THIS THE SUMMARY FROM THE FIRE INSPECTOR THAT WAS SENT OUT BY OUR INSURANCE COMPANY: BASED ON SCENE OBSERVATIONS, WITNESS INTERVIEWS, AND INFORMATION RECEIVED, THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS MOST PROBABLY RELATED TO AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE INVOLVING WIRING AND OR COMPONENTS OF THE 2009 DODGE CHARGER. MORE SPECIFICALLY, THE FIRE OCCURRED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS AN ELECTRICAL EVENT OCCURRING IN THE ORIGIN AREA RESULTING IN THE IGNITION OF COMBUSTIBLE WIRING INSULATION AND OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AREA LEFT SIDE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 DODGE CHARGER ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THE CAR JUST CUT OFF WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER (LUCKY I AVOIDED CAUSING AN ACCIDENT) AND IT RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS UNTIL A MONTH AGO I CAME OUT OF THE MALL TO GO HOME AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. FINALLY AFTER 10 MINUTES OF TRYING AND PRAYING, THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP AND GOT ME HOME WHICH WAS ABOUT 50 MILES AWAY. IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN AFTER THAT. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND MANY FUSES. THE CAR STARTED ONE TIME WHEN WE FIRST REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT AS SOON AS I TURNED IT OFF IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. WE FIGURED OUT HOW TO START THE CAR ONE MORE TIME TO GET IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE IGNITION MODULE AND PURCHASE A NEW KEY. I AM LOOKING AT A $960.00 BILL. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS EXACT PART FOR THE MANUFACTURE DATE OF MAY 2007 - MAY 2008. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED AUGUST 2008. I BELIEVE THIS FAULTY PART WAS ALSO USED ON MY CAR. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS YEAR MODEL, WE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN A RECALL. $960.00 JUST TO REPLACE A KEY!!!!
