2015 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. ALTHOUGH PROBLEM IS PRIMARILY OBSERVED WHILE IN MOTION. ACCELERATOR/BRAKE ASSEMBLY MOVES TOWARDS THE SEAT WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS CAUSES INCREASED PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL UNKNOWINGLY. IF DRIVING - THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATE, IF BRAKING - INCREASED PRESSURE CAUSES UNPREDICTABLE DECREASE IN SPEED. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY DEALER TWICE ON THE SAME VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED WHICH DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE SECOND TIME THE ENTIRE ACCELERATOR/BRAKE ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED WHICH DID FIX THE ISSUE. AFTER LESS THAN ONE YEAR THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AGAIN. THE PROBLEM IS THAT EVEN A SMALL INCREASE IN PRESSURE ON THE GAS HAS A DRAMATIC EFFECT ON SPEED AND ACCELERATION. IT IS ALMOST IMPERCEPTIBLE THAT THE PEDAL IS MOVING TOWARDS THE DRIVER WHILE DRIVING. THE PEDAL WILL CONTINUE MOVING UNTIL AT FULL FORWARD (CLOSEST TO THE DRIVER) OR SWITCH IS USED. THE SWITCH LOCATED ON THE SEAT WILL STOP THE MOVEMENT AND STILL OPERATES TO MOVE THE PEDALS BACK TO THEIR DESIRED POSITION.

ADJUSTABLE PEDAL MOVE CLOSER TO DRIVE UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. MOST TIMES YOU DONT NOTICE THE PEDALS MOVING UNTIL THE ENGINE REVS UP OR THE BRAKES STOP FASTER THAN EXPECTED. MOST OF THE TIME MY FOOT IS STATIONARY AND I MOVE THE TIP OF IT FOR THE GAS. IM 6'5" SO THE PEDALS ARE ADJUSTED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THEY START MOVING ALL THE WAY TOWARD ME WHILE IM DRIVING CAUSER ME TO PUSH FASTER ON THE ACCELERATOR UNTIL I REALIZE WHATS HAPPENING. WITH A HEMI THAT'S A LOT OF POWER TO BE SPINNING UP. PERSONALLY I DONT FEEL THE PEDALS SHOULD BE ADJUSTABLE WHEN TRANSMISSION IS OUT OF PARK. I HAVE YET TO FIND A RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEALER. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL ARTICLES ONLINE TALKING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT NO CLEAR SOLUTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, A "PARK THE VEHICLE" MESSAGE SUDDENLY DISPLAYED. AFTER PARKING AND TURNING THE ENGINE OFF, SMOKE WAS SEEN COMING FROM THE REAR TRUNK. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A WIRE LEADING TO THE FUSE BOX WAS IN FLAMES. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES, BUT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

MY PASSENGER SEAT HAS FAILED IN THE LICK POSITION IN THE TRACK ADJUSTMENT. ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, WE HAD TO COME TO AN ABRUPT HAULT FROM 75 MPH, AND MY PASSENGER SEAT BROKE FROM ITS LOCKED POSITION, SENDING ME FIREARD TOWARDS MY DASH THEN JAMMED IN THAT POSITION, THE PROBLEM I FOUND ON THE SEAT TRACK , WAS THE SLIDER BEARINGS BROKE AND UNLOCKED THE TRACK, AND GOT STUCK WITH THE BROKEN PARTS IN THE TRACK, OF COURSE THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE WARRANTY, SURE WISH THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS, MAYBE YOU CAN HELP, ON GETTING SEAT TRACKS REPLACED.

TAKATA RECALL. THE SEATBELT, ONCE BUCKLED, WILL NOT UNFASTEN UNLESS YOU REPEATEDLY YANK AT THE BELT ITSELF. THERE WAS REPEATED CLICKING IN THE ENGINE AND I COULD NOT EXCEED OVER 45MPH. WHEN THE HEAT IS TURNED ON IN THE CAR THE COOL A/C BLOWS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR AND WHEN I TRIED TO ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE ON DRIVER SIDE OF CAR I AM UNABLE TO DO THAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE OR WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL TICKING NOISE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (SNETHKAMP CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 11600 TELEGRAPH RD, REDFORD CHARTER TWP., MI 48239, (888) 455-6146) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT WAS WORN, THE LIFTER WAS THE CAUSE OF THE TICKING NOISE, AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,535.

I STARTED A UCONNECT SYSTEM UPDATE WHILE I WAS STILL PARKED. THE DISCLAIMER SAID NOTHING ABOUT TO NOT UPDATE WHILE DRIVING. I STARTED THE UPDATE AND STARTED DRIVING (MY COMMUTE IS ABOUT 25 MINUTES). IT TOOK ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES TO DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE. ONCE IT DOWNLOADED, THE SYSTEM RESET. AT THIS TIME I WAS IN CRUISE CONTROL ON A FREEWAY THAT WAS ENDING, SO I TURNED OFF MY CRUISE CONTROL AND THEN MY CAR JOLTED FORWARDED AS IF IT WERE IN A VERY LOW GEAR AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH. I THEN WAS STUCK IN 1ST GEAR WHILE THE SYSTEM WAS REBOOTING AND COULDN'T AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY SHIFT PAST 1ST GEAR LEAVING ME STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THEN A SCREEN POPPED UP SAYING THERE WAS 50 MINUTES LEFT ON THE UPDATE. I WAS STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL THE UPDATE FINISHED. AFTER THAT, MY GEARS WERE SHIFTING NORMALLY. DURING THIS TIME, I CALLED DODGE AND OPENED A CASE LETTING THEM KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. THE PICTURE I PROVIDED WAS A PICTURE AFTER I WAS ALREADY STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. *TT *BF *CN UPDATED 10/29/18*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD THUMPING NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED DURING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO OURISMAN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE OF ALEXANDRIA (5900 RICHMOND HWY, ALEXANDRIA, VA 22303) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STRUTS AND MOTOR MOUNT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A CASE MANAGER TO ASSIST WITH HER CLAIM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,124.

ON FEB 15, 2018 AT ABOUT 2:00 P.M. MY VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. MY SON WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, AND REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE GOING ABOUT 25 MPH. THE FRONT BUMPER WAS DAMAGED AND THE FRONT AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. DUE TO THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE I BELIEVE THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED.I AM LOOKING FOR HELP INVESTIGATING THIS.
