2017 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

DRIVING VEHICLE ON A CHICAGO STREET 40 DEGREES OUT, AND MOONROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED AND EXPLODES. REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY WANT TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY.

PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR PANEL SEPARATING AND EXPOSING THE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM AND OTHER PARTS OF THE DOOR MECHANISM. IT WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT WHEN IT SEPARATED.

I HAVE A DODGE CHARGER WITH A 5.7 ENGINE AND AFTER IT SETS FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN I START IT THE ENGINE PECKS FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEN STOPS IT STARTED DOING THIS AROUND 19,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE, IT NOW HAS 22,000 MILES ON IT!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION TOOK TOO LONG COMING OUT OF SECOND GEAR. THE VEHICLE JERKED AND HESITATED VIOLENTLY. ALSO, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PORT LAVACA DODGE (1901 HIGHWAY 35 SOUTH, PORT LAVACA, TX 77979, (361) 693-5195), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

TAKATA RECALL, MY UCONNECT SCREEN IS FAULTY AND GLITCHES OUT AND CHANGES SETTINGS, TEMPERATURE, RADIO STATIONS, TURNS MY SEAT WARMERS ON AND BASICALLY WHATEVER ELSE IT PRESSES ON BY ITSELF. IT HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BOTH IN MOTION AND IDLE. THE INCIDENT STARTED HAPPENING RANDOMLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND I STILL HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT.

I DISCOVERED A BREAK IN ONE OF THE PLASTIC ' WHEEL SKINS' ON MY CAR. I INQUIRED ABOUT REPLACING THE WHEEL SKIN AND DISCOVERED I CAN'T REPLACE IT AND INSTEAD I WOULD NEED TO BY A NEW RIM INSTEAD. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY RIM SO NO NEED TO REPLACE IT. MY COMPLAINT IS WE ARE MADE TO BUY NEW RIMS WHEN THESE PLASTIC WHEEL SKINS BREAK DOWN EVEN THOUGH OUR RIMS ARE I PERFECTLY GOOD CONDITION.

MY VEHICLE HAD PROBLEMS JUST AFTER THE 1 YEAR MARK. IN OCTOBER 2018 FILLED THE GAS TANK AND BEGAN TO PULL AWAY FROM THE PUMP, AT THIS TIME THE CAR WAS IN "DRIVE" BUT DOWN-SHIFTED INTO WHAT FELT LIKE NEUTRAL. AN ERROR CODE RAN ACROSS THE DASH SAYING "PUSH P TO PARK, SELECT DESIRED GEAR". I PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF THEN ON AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED TWICE BUT IT STILL DID IT. I PARKED THE CAR, TURNED IT OFF AND HAD IT TOWED- DEALER SAID IT WAS FINE, AND WASN'T THROWING ANY CODES AND LET ME DRIVE AWAY. NOT 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND IT STARTED SMELLING OF GAS AND WAS RIDING VERY ROUGH AND BACKFIRING. I PULL OVER TO THE NEAREST NEXT DEALERSHIP AND THEY NOTICE THAT GAS IS POURING OUT THE BACK OF THE CAR. DIAGNOSED AS AN 'OVERFILLED CHARCOAL CANISTER' STATING THAT I OVERFILLED THE GAS TANK. WAS REPAIRED, I HAD TO SUBMIT TO HAVE IT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I GET THE VEHICLE BACK AND NOT 2 MONTHS LATER THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AFTER FILLING TANK WITH GAS. GAS IS POURING OUT THE BACK, GAS GAUGE IS GOING CRAZY RISING AND FALLING AND FINALLY DROPPING OFF AS GAS POURS OUT THE BACK. HAD IT TOWED AGAIN AND REPAIRED AT A 3RD DEALERSHIP. GIVEN BACK TO ME AND TOLD IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THAT WE OVERFILLED THE TANK. HAPPENED A THIRD TIME NOT 3 MONTHS LATER AND FINALLY THE ENTIRE GAS TANK WAS REPLACED. BROUGHT IT HOME AND WAS TOLD I SHOULD BE ABLE TO FILL IT, AS THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT WAS LIKELY A SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK CAUSING THE ISSUES. THE CAR SMELLED OF GAS AGAIN WHEN I STOPPED TO FILL THE TANK ON THE WAY BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP. MY HUSBAND PULLED THE SEATS BACK AND HAD TO SOAK UP THE OVERFLOW FROM THE CANISTER HIMSELF- I DON'T FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY ANYMORE FOR FEAR OF A FIRE. MY DAUGHTER COMPLAINS OF HEADACHES WHEN IN THE CAR- WONDERING IF ITS RELATED TO THE POOLING GAS UNDER HER CARSEAT. VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY DODGE.

RECENTLY I'VE BEEN HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE WITH IT TURNING ON AND OFF WHEN I FIRST GO TO START IT UP. NOW I AM HAVING A BIGGER ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR DECIDED TO TURN OFF ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY I AM FULLY AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME WHILE DRIVING. I'VE TAKEN IT TO DODGE AND THEY SEEM TO NOT CAR OR EVEN TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG BECAUSE I CAN NOT REENACT THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE VIDEO OF IT NOT STARTING UP IN THE BEGINNING. SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CODES THAT COME UP, WHICH OF COURSE MAKES IT EASIER ON THEM TO JUST PUSH THE CUSTOMER AWAY. NOW IN MY OPINION I FEEL LIKE THIS CAN BE A LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION IF SOMEONE LIKE MY MOTHER OR MY GRANDMA OWN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOW KNOW HOW TO CONTROL SUCH A HEAVY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE DODGE SHOULD LOOK DEEPER INTO THIS PROBLEM CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF FORUMS ONLINE SUGGESTING A PROBLEM.

THE BULLETIN ON MOPAR WEBSITE IS IN REGARDS TO ELECTRICAL PANEL. NOT ONCE WAS THERE A RECALL. STARTING ON 1/23/19 MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON HIM AND HE COULDN'T MOVE THE VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON. WE TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP THEY SAID OH IT'S THE POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY MODULE BUT YOU'RE PAST MILEAGE FOR COVERAGE. SO I CALL MOPAR THEY GET ANOTHER DEALERSHIP ON THE LINE WE SET UP AN APPOINTMENT. TODAY 1/24/19 MY HUSBAND IS DRIVING TO CLASS IN MORNING TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF ALL CAPABILITY'S TO STEER BRAKE DO ANYTHING. THE VEHICLE LUCKILY CAME ON LONG ENOUGH TO MOVE TO SIDE OF ROAD THEN THE VEHICLE AGAIN SHUT OFF HE COULDN'T BRAKE VEHICLE JUST KEPT MOVING THEN EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED AND SHUT OFF ON IT'S OWN. HE WAS DRIVING ON DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY IN MORNING TRAFFIC AND TRAFFIC ISN'T LIGHT THE THOUGHT OF HIM BEING REAR ENDED AND SOMETHING MORE HAPPENING IS DISHEARTENING KNOWING THEY KNEW THEY HAD ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BUT DIDN'T DO A RECALL
