2011 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

PURCHASED A 2011 DODGE CHARGER 2 MONTHS AGO FOR MY TEENAGE SON. WHEN FILLING UP GAS TANK MORE THAN 3/4 FULL GAS LEAKS WHILE CAR IN PARK FROM AREA ABOUT 1.5 FEET IN FRONT OF REAR PASSENGER WHEEL. CABIN SMELLS OF GAS ODOR. CALLED DEALER THAT I PURCHASED CAR FROM...NO HELP. TONS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR SON TO DRIVE DODGE. PLEASE STAND BEHIND YOUR CARS. LET'S RECALL THIS AND KEEP PEOPLE SAFE BEFORE A LIFE IS LOST. ONE LIFE IS TOO MANY.

IF I FILL UP MY TANK OF GAS IT STARTS LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. FUMES CAN BE SMELLED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND OUTSIDE AS WELL. ITS VERY PENETRATING. WHEN ITS HOT OUTSIDE IF THE CAR REMAINS CLOSE WHEN U ARR INSIDE THE FUMES BEGIN TO GIVR YOU A SORE THROAT AND SHORT OF BREATH. VERY DANGEROUS

GET IN CAR TO GO TO WAL-MART ONE SATURDAY MORNING THE LOW BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND GET A MESSAGE THAT CAR WAS GOING TO BATTERY SAVING MODE. DROVE TO STORE GOT MY ITEMS GOT BACK INTO CAR AND ALL ELECTRONICS JUST STARTED SHUTTING OFF THEN CAR STARTED TO IDLE AND CUT OUT MADE A U SHAPE IN PARKING LOT AS WAS AFRAID TO GET ON THE ROAD FOR FEAR OF IT QUITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. TURN CAR OFF WOULDN'T START BACKUP YOU COULD SMELL SOMETHING HOT UNDER THE HOOD. THE ALTERNATOR WAS SO HOT BURNT HAND. HAD TO CALL TOW TRUCK TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO FIX. I WAS LUCKY THIS HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON A ROAD COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE COST OF REPAIR WAS $1, 187.75 PLUS IT TOOK 2 WEEKS FOR REPAIR. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR CAUGHT MY CAR ON FIRE.

WHEN TANK IS FILLED, A STRONG FUEL ODOR OCCURRED INSIDE CAR, ALONG WITH A PUDDLE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF RIGHT REAR TIRE. DEALERSHIP FIRST "FIXED" SECONDARY FUEL PUMP BUT PROBLEM RECURRED AT NEXT FILL UP. SUBSEQUENTLY THE PRIMARY FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED. IT IS EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THIS DID NOT RESULT IN A FIRE OR DEATH WITH MY KIDS RIDING IN THIS CAR ON A DAILY BASIS. DODGE KNOWS ABOUT ISSUE AS TONS OF COMPLAINTS CAN BE FOUND ON LINE.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY TIRES EVERY 9 MONTHS AND ROTATE THEM EVERY 3 WEEKS. FINALLY, I ASKED MY TIRE SHOP WHY. HE SAID THE WAY THIS DODGE CHARGER WAS BUILT, THE TIRES ARE AT AN ANGLE SO THEY WEAR UNEVENLY, WHICH ALSO MAKES IT WEAR FASTER. I THOUGHT I WAS BEING FED A STORY, SO I TOOK IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. THE TOLD ME THE SAME EXACT THING. THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND DANGEROUS. I'M JUST WAITING FOR A TIRE TO BLOW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY.

MY VEHICLE IS A 2011 DODGE CHARGE 80,000 MILES. FOR ABOUT 4MONTHS ITS BEEN SMELLING LIKE FUME, GASOLINE INSIDE THE VEHICLE LIKE IF THERE WAS A LEAK WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY, IN MOTION AT ALL TIMES. WHEN I FILL MY GAS TANK THE SMELL GETS WORST. SINCE IT BEGAN TO SMELL LIKE GASOLINE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. I HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE MECHANICS ARE WANTING APPROXIMATELY $500 TO FIX THE GASOLINE FUEL SYSTEM. I HOPE I DON'T BLOW UP.IT IS A UNSAFE CONDITION TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I HAVE TWIN 1YEAR OLDS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER TO FIND IF THERE IS A RECALL BUT THEY STATE THEY DON'T.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING. BATTERY SAVER MODE CAME ON AND THE RADIO TURNED OFF. I STARTED GETTING SERVICE LIGHTS AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ABLE TO GET IT HOME AS I WAS ONLY A BLOCK AWAY WHEN THIS STARTED. I TURNED OFF AND ON THE CAR. THE CAR STUDDERED TO START AND THE A TON OF ERROR LIGHTS CAME ON LIKE ABS, BREAK, ENGINE, SERVICE LIGHTS. THE CAR STUDDERED AND THE STEARING WHEEL AND BREAK WAS LOCKED. TUNED OUT IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR THAT DIED AND THANK GOD I WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND NOT GOING FAST ELSE I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT AS EVERYTHING AROUND MY HOUSE IS A HIGHWAY. THE 3.5L ENGINE WAS RECALLED BUT AFTER LOOKING AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 5.7L HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS ALSO NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.
