2013 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

WHEN GETTING READY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE THE DISPLAY READS VEHICLE NOT IN PARK AND WON'T ALLOW ME TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF. IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY 45 SECONDS TO A MINUTE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND A WARNING LIGHT COME ON SAYING TRACTION CONTROL WAS TURNED OFF AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS IT WENT OFF AND THEN IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. IT HAS DONE THIS BEFORE AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED A SENSOR IN THE CAR NOW ITS DOING IT AGAIN.

MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER'S DOOR HANDLE OPEN AND STAYS IN THE UP POSITION AND YOU HAVE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE TO GET THE DOOR OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARK POSITION AND UPON TRYING TO ENTER THE VEHICLE THE HANDLE LIFTED AND WAS STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION WITHOUT OPENING THE DOOR. IT HAS NOT LATCHED SINCE THE INITIAL INCIDENT AND THE DOOR HAS TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. IT IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE.

WHENEVER I AM DRIVING AND I TURN LEFT AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS SO HARD TO TURN IT SEEMS AS IF IT'S STUCK. I HAVE COME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO HITTING MEDIANS BECAUSE THE CAR JUST DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO TURN. IT ONLY HAPPENS WITH LEFT TURNS. THE RIGHT SEEMS TO BE OKAY. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CHILDREN KNOWING THAT THE CAR DOESN'T OPERATE PROPERLY. I CHECKED RECALLS BUT THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ONE. I HAVE CHECKED OTHER FORUMS AND SEVERAL 2013 CHARGER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE.
