THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLASSIC CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1102 WALTON DR, TEXARKANA, TX 75503, (903) 716-0600) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER FUSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL BURNING ODOR. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE WIRING WAS REPLACED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT PROVIDED.

MY CAR STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS ALL THE TIME. WHEN I GOT BACK FROM THE STORE I NOTICED THE GAS WAS LEAKING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK DOOR. THERE WAS A GAS PUDDLE AND THE INSIDE OF THE CAR SMELLED LIKE A LOT OF GAS. MY BROTHER LIFTED THE BACK SEAT AND THERE WAS A LOT OF GAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK.

ANYTIME I FILL MY GAS TANK IT GIVES A FOUL SMELL AND LATER NOTICED FUEL LEAK ON REAR PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT IN FRONT OF PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE, NOW I HAVE TO FILL MY TANK ONLY HALF BECAUSE IT LEAKS WHEN I FILL IT UP,THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

WENT TO AUTOZONE FOR THE FREE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT READING. IT CAME BACK WITH A CODE P0456 WHICH IS A EVAP LEAK. MY CAR DOES SEEM TO HAVE A LIGHT GAS ODOR AFTER I FILL IT UP WITH GAS. THE SMELL CONTINUES TO LINGER BUT EVENTUALLY SEEMS TO GO AWAY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND SEE THERE ARE MANY POST AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ISSUE. I DON'T NOTICE ANY FUEL LEAKING FROM MY CAR BUT I CAN SMELL GAS. MY CAR IS A 2011 BUT ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES AS OF TODAY 5/3/18. I'M FILING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE A LOT OF FORUMS ONLINE ABOUT THE ISSUE SAYS I SHOULD SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF OTHER 2011 DODGE CHARGERS SE RWD WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

WHEN I FILL MY TANK, THE FUEL PUMP UNDER THE BACK SEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OVER FILLS AND LEAKS RAW GASOLINE INTO THE CAB. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH 2011 AND 2012 CHARGERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SECOND I HAD A HEAD LIGHT GO OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I REPLACED THE BULB AND STILL ISN'T WORKING, CHECKED THE FUSES AND THOSE ARE,GOOD TO. MAYBE IT'S A FAULTY WIRE HARNESS. ALSO FOUND PEOPLE ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER IS PERSISTENTLY HAVING STRONG FUEL SMELL WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEED WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS 3/4 TO FULL. AFTER PARKED OVERNIGHT, THE SMELL SUBSIDES. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN 2013. AS OF 2018, IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN 28000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE PEDAL WOULD STICK TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED SEVERAL TIMES TO REGAIN BRAKE FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT NO BRAKE FAILURES WERE FOUND. THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THAT THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS BE REPLACED. THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

SEVERAL TIMES, THE CAR HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, RESTART THE ENGINE AND IT HAS GONE AWAY. IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS I HAVE NOTICED ON RANDOM OCCASIONS, WHEN DOING A LEFT TURN, IT FEELS LIKE THE POWER STEERING IS NO LONGER WORKING, AND THIS ONLY HAPPENS ON LEFT TURNS. FINALLY, I HAVE SOME STRANGE ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAPPENING, SOMETIMES MY LEFT LOW BEAM WILL WORK, OTHER DAYS IT WON'T. NOW THE SOUND TO THE SPEAKERS HAVE STOPPED, AND THEN TODAY, I LEFT TO GO TO WORK, MY CAR WON'T START, ALL I HAVE IS AN ILLUMINATED ETC LIGHT AND NOTHING. I HAVE TRIED GETTING DODGE TO LOOK AT IT REPEATEDLY, IT IS CLEARLY A WIRING ELECTRICAL FAULT, THEY KEEP TELLING ME NOTHING IS UNDER REAL, AND I KEEP PUTTING MONEY AFTER MONEY INTO THE CAR, AND I THINK ITS GOING TO GET ME HURT ONE DAY.
