2016 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND A NIGHTMARE. WHILE DRIVING AROUND 30 AND OVER THE CAR JERKS AND SHIFTS WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP AND OR PRESSING ON GAS TO INCREASE SPEED. I HAD SOME SIMILAR ISSUES IN 2019 AND REPORTED THEM TO THE DEALERSHIP WESTHERR ORCHARD PARK. WESTHERR CLAIMS IT WAS ISSUES WITH THE DRIVE SHAFTS, GASKET, ENGINE OIL FILTER ADAPTOR HOUSING, DRIVETRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND AXLES. MOST OF ALL OF THESE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE BY THEM AND WHERE NOT FIXED CORRECTLY AND WITH DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS AND PARTS.

IN A COUPLE YEAR SPAN OF DODGE CHARGERS, THE PANELS ON THE DOORS SEPARATE FROM THE PLASTIC UNDERNEATH CAUSING IT TO LIFT UP WHERE THE WINDOW GOES INTO THE DOOR. ON MINE SPECIFICALLY IT'S THE DRIVERS SIDE PANEL AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE PANEL. I HAVE SEEN PICTURES ON FORUMS FOR DODGE CHARGERS WHERE IT'S ALL OF THE DOORS WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS IS CAUSED BY NO FAULT OF THE OWNER BUT CLEARLY SOMEWHERE IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE EITHER PARTS OR MATERIALS WEREN'T MADE PROPERLY. THE COST TO FIX THIS ON MY OWN IS AROUND $700 PER DOOR PANEL, SO $1,400 FOR BOTH.

I PURCHASED 2016 DODGE CHARGER ONE MONTH AGO FROM CALIFORNIA AUTO DIRECT IN MONTCLAIR. WHILE SIGNING THE PAPERWORK, WE QUESTIONED A $1,000 DEALER CHARGE WHICH THEY EXPLAINED WAS FOR A THOROUGH INSPECTION BEFORE PUTTING THEIR CAR ON THE LOT TO SELL (ALL LIES). SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR ON 3/7/20, THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES. I TOOK THE CAR TO A "DODGE" DEALER AND THEY FIXED A RECALL, OIL LEAK AND REPLACED A MISSING CALIPER, OLD BATTERY. AFTER COMPLETING ALL THE REPAIRS, THE CAR STALLED ON ME AGAIN. EACH TIME THE STEERING AND BRAKES LOCKED UP. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NO CODES AS TO WHY THE CAR JUST STOPS WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I CONTACTED DODGE.COM ONLINE CHAT AND THEY TOLD ME TO LET THE DEALER TRY AND WORK ON IT AND USE THEIR RESOURCES. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. I READ ABOUT RECALLS ON OTHER DODGE CHARGERS AND CHALLENGERS THAT HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS, UNFORTUNATELY NOT M YEAR... 2016.

I WAS HEADED TO WORK YESTERDAY MORNING AND BEFORE I GOT TO WORK I HEARD A LOUD NOICE UNDER THE HOOD AND SMOKE STARTING ROLLING OUT OF UNDER THE HOOD. I PULLED OVER TO THE CLOSEST INTERSECTION TO GET OFF HIGHWAY AND DISCOVERED OIL ALL OVER THE CAR AND ALL UNDER THE CAR. I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP THAT I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR THROUGH (HAVEN'T EVEN MADE THE FIRST PAYMENT) AND THEY TOWED IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. FURTHER INSPECTION THEY SAID THE DESIGN OF THE CAR HOW IT PULLS AIR THROUGH THE FENDER IT SUCKED WATER UP FROM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HYDRO LOCKED THE MOTOR. I DO ZERO FIRST ROADS ON MY VEHICLES SO IT'S DEFINITELY NOT RIGHT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AND THROW A ROD THROUGH THE MOTOR. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WON'T COVER IT NOR WILL MY INSURANCE. IT'S A BRAND NEW CAR. I NEED HELP!!

I HAD TO REPLACE MY STARTER THAT WENT OUT 12/24/17, MY CAR WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY. I USED FRED MARTIN TO DO THE REPAIR. SUMMER OF JUNE 2019, MY CAR WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY. I HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER AGAIN. I BOUGHT THE STARETERFROM AUTO ZONE, A STARTER FOR A 2016 DODGE CHARGER R/T. UPON REPLACING THE STARTER WITH THE NEW STARTER WE REALIZED THAT IT WOULD NOT FIT AND THERE WAS ANOTHER STARTER ON THE VEHICLE THAT WAS NOT A R/T STARTER (WHICH FRED MARTIN HAD PUT ON). THIS PAST SUNDAY (3/15/20), MY STARTER HAS WENT OUT ONCE AGAIN, IN MY PARKING LOT, SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT FOR A STARTER TO KEEP GOING OUT WITHOUT ANY CLUE. PLEASE HELP ME IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE.
