2012 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT FELT INTENSE HEAT EMERGING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DAYTONA DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM AND FIAT (1450 N TOMOKA FARMS ROAD, DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA 32124) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE ASSEMBLIES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,733.

WHY IS IT THAT THE MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION FOR SAFETY IN REGARDS TO SUSPENSION REPLACEMENT, FUSE BOX(S) REWIRING AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM ARE NOT RECALLS FOR THE LD POLICE PURSUIT MODELS. I'M TOLD BY DON DAVIS IN ARLINGTON TEXAS THAT THESE ARE NOT "RECALL ITEMS" AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THESE? EVEN THOUGH THE POLICE FLEET WAS TAKEN CARE OF. THIS, IF I WERE TO BE INJURED IN A CRASH/ACCIDENT WILL OPEN CHRYSLER UP TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SUIT FROM EVERY MODEL ON THE STREET WHICH YOU KNOW THAT IS A LOT. TO ME AND OTHERS THIS IS ALL ABOUT MONEY TO FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM PLACING PROFIT/LOSS ABOVE SAFETY WHICH IS A THE LEAST GROSS NEGLIGENCE. THESE PROBLEMS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME I'M DRIVING THIS CAR.
