2014 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO VISIBLE WARNING INDICATORS WHILE THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ACTIVATED AND THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED TO THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ARRIGO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM SAWGRASS, (5901 MADISON AVE, TAMARAC, FL 33321, (954) 626-8811) AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT A NEW BATTERY WAS ALSO NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000 MILES. DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEED, CAR SUDDENLY POPPED 3 LIGHTS; TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, AND THE PARKING BRAKE INDICATOR. REPAIR SHOP HAS DIAGNOSED AS THE ABS MODULE NEEDING REPLACEMENT. THERE ARE NO OTHER SYMPTOMS BESIDES THE WARNING LIGHTS AND CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING. AT THIS TIME I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF ANY OF THESE SYSTEMS HAVE ACTUALLY FAILED SINCE THE ABS MODULE HAS SHUT OFF THESE SYSTEMS.

THE VEHICLE WHEN I PURCHASED IT 3 MONTHS AGO HAS PRETTY LOW MILEAGE AND $79,000 ON IT WELL I NOTICED THE WHOLE TIME I HEARD A CREAKING SOUNDING WHEN I WOULD TURN THE TIRES AND THEN WHEN I WENT TO GEORGIA BECAUSE I LIVE IN TENNESSEE FOR CHRISTMAS AND BY THE TIME I GOT BACK TO TENNESSEE I COULDN'T EVEN TURN MY WHEEL AND I GUESS THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT IN IT BUT IT'S A NEW CAR AND IT'S BEEN TAKEN REALLY GOOD CARE OF I'M JUST WONDERING WHY THE PUMP WENT OUT ON IT SO FAST WHEN I WAS DRIVING SO FAST I COULD WRECKED AND EVERYTHING

WIFE DROPPED ME OFF AT WORK AND LITERALLY THE SERVICE POWER STEERING SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. THEY VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING AND THIS HAPPENED OUT OF NOWHERE. THANKFULLY SHE WAS STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THE POWER STEERING QUIT

BETWEEN 30-60 MPH, AWD TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR KEPT DISENGAGING/ENGAGING WHILE DRIVING. SLIGHT JARRING OF CAR OCCURRED WHEN ACTION HAPPENED. IT WAS TAKEN TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN NOV 2019 AND A SOFTWARE UPGRADE WAS PERFORMED WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE. I HAD TO PAY ~$68 FOR THIS SERVICE. GOOGLE/WEB DISCUSSIONS SHOW THIS IS A BROAD ISSUE AMONG THE DODGE CHARGER AWD, AND SHOULD PROBABLY BE CONSIDERED A COMPANY-COVERED RECALL/REPAIR RATHER THAN A CHARGE BORNE BY CAR OWNER.

POWER STEERING PUMP ALL OF A SUDDEN, JUST WENT OUT. LUCKILY I WAS PARKING MY CAR AT HOME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR PRESSURE SERVICE MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS BLANK.

SHEARED ROCKER PIN POSING INJURY AND OR DEATH TO OCCUPANT OR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY DEFECT CAUSES CAR TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. LIGHTING BOLT FLASHES THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN THE WARNING LIGHTS FLASH BOLT AND ENGINE THEN THE CARS SHUTSOFF. VERY DANGEROUS

TODAY MY CAR TURNED OFF ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT OF NO WHERE. I HAVE STATED TO THE DEALER FOR YEARS THAT IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR A CAR TO SAY BATTERY SAVER MODE AND LIGHTS, RADIO, DASH AND ALL ELECTRICAL DEVICES IN A VEHICLE TO TURN OF OR STUTTER OF AND ON. THEY SAID IT IS NORMAL AND THAT IT IS MY BATTERY. IF A CAR TURNS ON THE ALTERNATOR IS SUPPOSED TO TAKE ALL THE LOAD OFF OF THE BATTERY RUNNING IN THE ENGINE NOTHING ELSE. MY CAR HAS STUTTERED MULTIPLE TIME OFF AND IN WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN ALMOST TURNED OFF. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR DRIVING AROUND, BECAUSE CAR COULD TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND I LOSE ALL CONTROL OFF THE VEHICLE STEERING, BRAKES AND ACCELERATING. WHEN I THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF TODAY I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE CAR STARTED TO STUTTER AND THEN IT JUST TURNED OFF WHEN THE GREEN LIGHT TURNED ON. I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE A PICTURE TODAY AND I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND IT IS ILLEGAL TO DRIVE AND USE A PHONE. I HAVE MULTIPLE PICTURE FROM THE PAST BUT WAS ONLY ABLE TO UPLOAD ONE
