2014 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

THE RIGHT REAR SUSPENSION TRAILING LINK THAT BOLTS TO THE SUB FRAME THE SUB FRAME MOUNTING BRACKET SHEARED OFF THE SUB FRAME. THIS CAR HAS WAS A RENTAL CAR BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. THE DATA RECORDED WAS RETRIEVED AND NOTHING SHOWS THIS WAS CAUSED BY ME. THE LEFT SIDE HAS VISIBLE WEAR AND STRESS IN THE FRAME, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR EVEN IF THIS CAR IS REPAIRED. THIS CAUSED A MINOR ACCIDENT MAKING ME SPIN WHEN IT SHEARED OFF. IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THE WELDING OF THIS PART.

THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE REVVING AND SLOWING ITSELF DOWN AROUND THE 30 MPH AREA. THERE IS A JERKING MOTION AROUND THIS SPEED AS WELL. IT IS ACTING LIKE IT WANTS TO SHIFT, BUT CAN'T. WHEN I GET UP PAST 28-31 MPH THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY, BUT I AM AFRAID THAT IT MIGHT STICK AS SOME POINT AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT! I HAVE HEARD IT IS A KNOWN TRANSMISSION PROBLEM FROM A MECHANIC FROM DODGE. I KNOW IT ASKS WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN, WELL, IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY I DRIVE IT!

WENT TO PULL OUT FROM MY WORKS PARKING LOT AND PUSHED GAS PEDAL TO SPEED UP AND THE GAS PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND STAYED THERE FOR ROUGHLY 4 TO 5 SECONDS AND THE CAR JUST KEEP SPEEDING UP. I THEN PUMPED THE GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES AND THERE WAS A CLICK AND THE PEDAL RETURNED TO IT'S NORMAL POSITION. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT'S HAPPENED IN 6 MONTHS

WHILE DRIVING, I CONDUCTED A NORMAL PASS ON A TWO LANE ROAD. WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATION PEDAL, THE CAR TOOK OFF AT A DRAMATIC PACE. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE WELL OVER 100 MPH. DRAGGING THE BRAKE KEPT THE CAR FROM CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE TO ITS FULL CAPACITY. SHIFTING IN NEUTRAL HAD NO EFFECT AS THE ENGINE MAINTAINED ITS FULL RPM. WHILE IN NEUTRAL, THE CAR'S COMPUTER WOULD NOT ALLOW THE ENGINE TO BE SHUT OFF DISPLAYING A MESSAGE THAT THE CAR HAD TO BE IN PARK BEFORE THAT WAS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN. PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, APPLIED FULL BRAKING, AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO A STANDSTILL AS THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN AT FULL RPM. SHIFTED TO PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I LET IT SIT FOR 10 MINUTES AND STARTED IT AGAIN. CAR PERFORMED NORMAL. DODGE HAS A KNOWN ISSUE/RECALL FOR THE SAME SITUATION WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL AND I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS PRESENT WHILE NOT USING CRUISE CONTROL AS WELL. LESS THAN A MONTH AGO, THE CAR WAS SERVICED AT THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER UNDER THE RECALL TO CORRECT THE CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE. *DSY

TAKATA RECALL IT'S A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT I CAME TO FIND OUT AFTER SEARCHING IT OWN GOOGLE THE CAR WELL RANDOMLY BECOME NON RESPONSIVE TO ACCELERATING THE RPMS WELL RISE BUT THE SPEED WON'T ITS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY CHANGE LANES OR A PULL OUT FROM A STOP SIGN IT'S HAS CAUSED ME TO GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY CAR JUST STOP GOING MIDWAY THROUGH A INTERSECTION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE STEERING SEIZED AND THE CHECK ENGINE, BRAKE, ABS AND STEERING ASSIST WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,000.
