2012 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

SEALED TRANSMISSION MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO ADJUST FLUID LEVELS THAT CAN KEEP TRANSMISSION FROM FREEZING AND LOCKING UP. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE HAS A HORRIBLE BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND SHIFTING IS BECOMING IRRADIC WITH CAN CAUSE TRAFFIC ISSUES. IT OCCURS MOSTLY IN TOWN DRIVING AFTER STOPPING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME (STREET LIGHTS). RECENTLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE P0208 CODE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS UNINTENTIONALLY WENT OUT.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK ON 18 NOVEMBER 2018 MY VEHICLES RADIO BECAME INTERMITTENT ON ALL SETTINGS. BLUETOOTH, AUXILLARY, SATTELITE AND REGULAR RADIO HAD AN INTERRUPTION IN THE AUDIO AT REGULAR INTERVALS. I SMELLED AN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL AND PULLED OVER. I POPPED THE TRUNK AND THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE FUSEBOX NEXT TO THE REAR TIRE. THE RADIO AMPLIFIER FUSE HAD MELTED ITSELF INTO THE FUSEBOX AND WAS CONTINUING TO SHORT. CHARGER HAS AN OPEN RECALL FOR ALTERNATOR SCHEDUALED FOR SERVICE 26 DECEMBER 2018

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED LEFT OR RIGHT.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE BRAKE FAILURE.

WAS PUTTING GASOLINE IN MY 2012 DODGE CHARGER AND IT WOULD ONLY TAKE A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL BEFORE SPITTING IT BACK OUT AT YOU WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT NOT FOR THE 2012 MODEL CHARGER SXT 3.6 LITER. THE DEALER IS CHARGING ME OVER $1,700 DOLLARS TO FIX AND THE 2006 THROUGH 2011 HAVE THIS ISSUE. WE HAD THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND IT WAS RECALLED AND FIXED TWICE. IT STARTED DOING IT AT AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE AS WE NOW HAVE ON THE CHARGER. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR FUEL TO BE SPIT OUT ON YOU AS YOU ATTEMPT TO FUEL THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS FAULTY AND WAS REPAIRED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC; HOWEVER, THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND HAD IT TOWED TO SUNLAND PARK DODGE (950 CROCKETT ST, EL PASO, TX 79922, (915) 228-2005) FOR REPAIRS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE ALTERNATOR. ACCORDING TO THE CONTACT, THE DEALER INSTALLED A RECALLED ALTERNATOR INSTEAD OF A NEW ONE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000. *TT*JB

IT WAS IN DRIVE AND WHEN I OPEN THE DOOR IT REFUSE TO GET INTO GEAR AND WENT BACK INTO PARK AND THEN WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT IN GEAR OR REVERSE IT WOULDN'T DO EITHER AND THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT BOTH CAME ON AND I HAD TO LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 15 OR 20 MINUTES BEFORE IT WOULD GET INTO A GEAR FOR ME TO DRIVE IT....AND THIS WAS AFTER THE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE GEAR SHIFTER SO I FEEL THAT STILL HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH MY GEAR SHIFTER THAT THEY DID THE RECALL ON...IT DIDNT START HAPPENING UNTIL THAT SAFETY SHIFT WENT INTO PARK WHEN I OPEN MY DOOR AND IT WOULDNT GO INTO ANOTHER GEAR AFTER THAT....

PASSENGER HID LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS OFF. AFTER A PERIOD OF THE VEHICLE BEING SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED THE LIGHT WILL COME BACK O BUT WILL SHUT OFF AGAIN AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL ON THE WIRING HARNESS, BUT NOTHING IS SHOWING ON MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE FOR THE RECALL.

WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, VEHICLE DISPLAYED WARNING LIGHTS AND STALLED. WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE THE GEAR SHIFT WAS LOCKED IN PARK POSITION. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD LOCKED UP. I AM AWARE THAT THERE WAS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION SENT OUT BY CHRYSLER, BUT WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT IT AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE DIDN'T FALL UNDER THAT NOTIFICATION.
