I'VE HAD MANY ISSUES WRONG WITH MY CAR. THE FIRST COMPLAINT I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS IS HOW THE CAR SHUTS OFF ON ME WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ON BUSY STREETS, MY CAR WILL SHUT OFF, BUT IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP. THIS IS A DANGEROUS HAZARD AND SAFETY CONCERN. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE GRESHAM DODGE (ON NE BURNSIDE) DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE (503-666-2277). I WAS TOLD "IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, BRING IT BACK" THERE WAS NO CONCERN WITH DODGE THAT THEY WERE SENDING A DANGEROUS VEHICLE BACK OUT ON THE ROAD, THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED NOW, NOT LATER. DODGE NEVER SOLVED THAT ISSUE. FURTHERMORE, MY CAR WAS STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION ON THE EVE OF 4-18-16. I TRIED TO GET IT INTO GEAR, WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. I HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK. WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW, I DECIDED TO GOOGLE DODGE CHARGERS STUCK IN PARK. ON YOUTUBE, THERE WERE SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THEY HAD VIDEO OF HOW TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. YOU HAD TO PRY THE COVERING OFF OF THE SHIFTING UNIT. STICK A PEN INSIDE TO MOVE A WIRE AROUND, IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR INTO GEAR. IT WORRIES ME THAT DODGE IS AWARE OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND OTHER ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES, YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO FIX IT. I COULD OF SERIOUSLY BEEN HURT OR SERIOUSLY HURT SOMEONE ELSE WHILE BEING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR JUST SHUTTING OFF. THEY SHOULD BE CONCERNED ENOUGH TO WANT TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT. AS I STATED BEFORE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE WITH OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE VERY SAME ISSUES. I DID FILE A COMPLAINT ON THE BBB WEBSITE, ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE. MY MAIN OBJECTIVE FOR THIS SITE IS TO BRING OUT HOW DANGEROUS IT IS TO OPERATE MY CAR UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, THAT DODGE DID NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT. SOUNDS AS IF THERE ARE TRANSMISSION AND OR ENGINE ISSUES WITH THE CAR THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE MAY HAVE FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V493000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS EXPLODED SENDING DEBRIS AND CLOUD SHARP PARTICLES EVERY WHERE ME AND MY SOON SUFFERED BURNS TO THE FACE FRONT THE AIR BAG WHICH I THINK WAS DEFECTIVE.

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE CHARGER SXT WITH 60K MILES. ON 4/8/2016 WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AT 7:45 A.M. HEADING TO WORK I HERE A PLASTIC BREAKING NOISE AND A LARGE THUMP SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I QUICKLY GOT OUT TO SEE WHAT I HAD HIT ROLLING OUT THE DRIVE WHEN I NOTICED WATER, HEARD HISSING AND NOTICED BIG BROKEN PLASTIC PIECES ALL ON THE GROUND. I TURNED THE CAR OFF CALLED MY HUSBAND TO TURN AROUND, LOOK AT THE CAR AND THEM DROP ME OFF AT WORK ON HIS WAY TO WORK. HE POPPED THE HOOD TO MY CHARGER AND HE SHOWED ME 2 BROKEN FAN BLADES AND HOUSING SURROUNDING MY RADIATOR AND WHERE THE FAN BLADES HAD PUNCTURED NUMEROUS HOLES INTO THE RADIATOR WHERE THE FLUID WAS COMING OUT FROM. HAD TO GET TO WORK SO AWAY WE WENT. WE CALLED A SHOP TO PICKUP MY CAR AND HAVE THE REPAIRS MADE. I REMEMBERED THIS SIGHT AND MY HUSBAND CHECKED OUT THE RECALLS AND COMPLAINTS REGARDING MY CAR WHICH BRINGS ME TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT IN HOPES THAT REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY RECENT REPAIR WILL BE HANDLED AS IT SEEMS OTHERS HAVE HAD AND BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO. THANKS
