2014 DODGE CHARGE POLICE CAR LOSES ALL POWER STEERING WHEN TURNED LEFT. WE HAVE 4 OF THESE MODELS AT OUR POLICE AGENCY AND ALL 4 ARE DOING THE SAME THING. AFTER SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL OTHER POLICE CHIEF'S, THEY ALL STATED THAT THE ELECTROSTATIC POWER STEERING PUMP WAS BAD AND IT WAS A MULTIPLE THOUSAND DOLLAR FIX FOR THEM. OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER SAYS TO FIX EACH FLEET CAR, THE COST WILL BE OVER $2000 PER CAR. WITH THIS MANY ISSUES, THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION AND A RECALL. FURTHER, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED LEFT, ALL POWER STEERING IS LOST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE ALTERNATOR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STALL, BUT HESITATED AFTER THE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE HAD BEEN OCCURING FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NEWNAN PEACHTREE CHRYSLER (53 HOLLIZ PKWY, NEWNAN, GA 30265) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW ALTERNATOR WAS NEEDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,412.

WHILE IN MOTION THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT DOWN SO THE ENGINE REVS UP UNTIL THE BRAKE IS PRESSED. THIS HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE IT STARTS SHIFTING GEARS ON IT'S OWN. THE VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN DOING THIS SINCE 2/16/19 AND HAS DONE IT ALMOST EVERY DAY SINCE.

FUEL PUMP ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR KEEPS BURNING THE FUEL PUMP PLASTIC AT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS AND CAUSES A FUEL LEAK INTO THE CAR CABIN, UNDER THE REAR SEAT. REPLACED BURNED FUEL PUMP 3 TIMES AND IS BURNED UP AGAIN AND LEAKING FUEL WITHIN SIX MONTHS. THERE IS A DEFECTIVE ISSUE, HUNDRED OF COMPLAINTS I SEE ONLINE, WITH NO RESOLUTION TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, I HOPE MY CAR DOES NOT EXPLODE KILLING MY FAMILY.

(PAB) I HAVE 2 RECALLS ON MY 2014 DODGE CHARGER THAT ARE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. THE AIR MAY EJECT METAL FRAGMENTS INTO THE INTERIOR OF CAR WHICH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH UPON COLLISION. I ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIME TODAY TO GET ASSISTANCE FROM CHRYSLER/DODGE WITH A LOANER/RENTAL CAR UNTIL MY VEHICLE COULD BE FIXED. THE AIR BAGS NEEDED TO RESOLVE THE SAFETY ISSUE WILL NOT BE IN UNTIL AFTER FEB 26TH CAUSING ME NOT TO HAVE ADEQUATE SAFE TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK AND FOR MY FAMILY. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH 2 LANE HIGHWAYS AND TRAVEL 49.5 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK EACH DAY WITH DEER AND OTHER ANIMALS CONSTANTLY RUNNING INTO THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT I JUST NEED TO BE CAREFUL DRIVING BUT WAS ADVISED BY INSURANCE AGENT TO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL FIXED AS ACCIDENTS HAPPEN UNANNOUNCED AND DAILY. NOONE WITHIN THE CHRYSLER ORGANIZATION WAS WILLING TO ASSIST ME WITH A RENTAL OR LOANER VEHICLE. I WAS CALLED BY AN AGENT WHO SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR MONDAY, FEB 18TH @ 3:30 KNOWING THAT THE AIR BAG WAS NOT IN STOCK. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET AND EXHAUSTED WITH THE 4 + HOURS I SPENT ON THE PHONE TODAY TO NOT RECEIVE ANY RESOLUTION. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE FROM CHRYSLER AGAIN AND REALLY NEED A SAFE RIDE FOR MYSELF, WIFE, 5 AND 6 YEAR OLDS, AND 2 WEEK OLD SON TO TRAVEL UNTIL THIS ISSUE CAUSED BY CHRYSLER IS RESOLVED.
