2013 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

IN MOTION GOING OVER A RAILROAD TRACK ON MCMILLAN AVE (CITY STREET) IN NORTH CHARLESTON, SC. THERE WAS A POT HOLE AT THE RAILROAD TRACK. WHILE GOING OVER TRACK/POT HOLE, HEARD A LOUD THUD. TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR CAME ON ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. TOOK TIRE OFF AND PUT ON MY SPARE. TOOK MY TIRE AND RIM TO TIRE SHOP TO PURCHASE NEW TIRE, IT WAS THEN THAT I FOUND OUT MY RIM HAD CRACKED, AND THAT I WOULD IN FACT NEED A NEW TIRE AND RIM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED GARY MILLER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (5746 PEACH ST, ERIE, PA 16509) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT SHE COULD PAY OUT OF POCKET AND BE REIMBURSED LATER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT SHE COULD PAY OUT OF POCKET AND SUBMIT REIMBURSEMENT. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

AS DRIVING UP THE HIGHWAY MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER JERKED AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD THERE WAS A MESSAGE THAT SAID 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION SHUT OFF ENGINE TO ENGAGE PARK' MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS ALSO ON. I PULLED OVER BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK. I TRIED TO PULL BACK OFF TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED, TRAFFICS WAS APPROACHING AND THERE IS WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TRYING PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL TO HURRY AND MOVE BEFORE THE COMING TRAFFICK MADE IT TO ME, IT WAS AN 18 WHEELER. I COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD TODAY DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND I'M NOT WONDERING WHY THERE IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

I'VE CHECK WITH JIM BURKE DODGE SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THE RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION FOR MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER. AS OF TODAY JANUARY 15, 2018 NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I'M BEING TOLD THEIR ISN'T A FIX AT THIS TIME.

I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT DODGE MULTIPLE TIMES FOR REIMBURSEMENT ON A FAULTY ALTERNATOR. THE PART WAS ISSUED AS A RECALL (17V-435) ON 07-10-17. SINCE THEN I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO SUBMIT DOCUMENTATION FOR REIMBURSEMENT WITH NO SUCCESS. I'VE SPOKE WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM DODGE MULTIPLE TIMES ALL CLAIMING TO NOT HAVE RECEIVED MY DOCUMENTS. I'VE SUBMITTED THE VIA EMAIL, MAIL AND UPLOADED THEM TO THERE WEBSITE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 6 MONTHS NOW.

MY DODGE CHARGER RT 2013 VEHICLE RANDOMLY REPORTS THAT YOUR NEED TO PUSH DOWN THE CLUTCH IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE. IT ALSO WILL RANDOMLY CUT OFF ON YOU WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND FOR THE ALL TELL ME THAT I CAN DO ANYTHING SINCE WE CANT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE WHY THE VEHICLE WILL REPORT ANYTHING ABOUT AN CLUTCH SINCE IT IS AN AUTOMATIC.

TAKATA RECALL. MY CARS WAS STATIONARY AND BATTERY WAS DEAD TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED AND THEY SAID IT WAS BAD SO REPLACED IT AND NOW IT IS ON BATTERY SAVER AND SMELLS LIKE BURNT WIRES

FCA RECALL T36/NHTSA 17V-435 NOTIFIED SIX (6) MONTHS AGO REGARDING ALTERNATOR DIODE THERMAL FATIGUE WHICH MAY RESULT IN ALTERNATOR FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSING A RISK OF CRASH. ALSO, MAY DEVELOP A RESISTIVE SHORT CIRCUIT THAT CAN RESULT IN HEAT, SMOKE AND/OR FIRE ORIGINATING WITHIN THE ALTERNATOR. AS OF 01/09/2018, I FORTUNATELY HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER STATES THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I AM OF THE OPINION THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. IF THEY WAIT LONG ENOUGH, WE WILL FORGET ABOUT THIS RECALL. WOULD THE NHTSA PLEASE INTERCEDE REGARDING THIS MATTER?

WHEN AT A STOP FOR MORE THEN THREE MINUTES, CAR WILL STALL. CAR APPEARS AS IF IT IS STILL RUNNING BUT IT IS NOT. WHEN I PROCEED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH TRAFFIC, CAR WILL EITHER NOT MOVE UNTIL BEING RESTARTED, OR IF ON AN INCLINE WILL ROLL BACKWARDS.
