2012 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

NO MATTER WHERE WE ARE, WHETHER STATIONARY, OR IN MOTION, THE VEHICLE HAS AN OVERWHELMING SMELL OF GASOLINE AFTER WE HAVE FUELED UP THE CAR. TODAY, WE NOTICED GASOLINE LEAKING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE UNDERCARRIAGE. A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE INDICATES INNUMERABLE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, WITH CHRYSLER FAILING TO OFFER A REMEDY TO THIS SITUATION.

MY CARS DISPLAY KEEPS FLASHING OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING AND AT A STOP SIGN OR SIGNAL LIGHT THE DASH FLICKERS AND AUTOMATICALLY PUTS THE CAR TO PARK. THE ONLY TIME THAT'S NOTHING HAPPENS IS WHEN THE CAR IS REVVED. THIS MODEL HAS HAD ISSUES BEFORE AND THAT WAS BASED ON THE ALTERNATOR ISSUE WHICH SEEM LIKE TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL 2012 DODGE CHARGER. DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH THEN CAR STARTED JUMPING. BATTERY LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON. CAR STARTED TO KILL. HAD TO PULL OFF ROAD AND COULD BARELY TURN STEERING WHEEL. KEEP IN MIND I HAVE MY 2 KIDS IN THE CAR. TRIED TO JUMP BATTERY AND IT STATED SMOKING AND JUMPER CABLES BECAME REALLY HOT. TOOK OUT BATTERY AND BRUNG IT IN TO GET CHECKED. HAD TO BUY A NEW BATTERY FOR $220. BRUNG CAR TO GET ALTERNATOR CHECKED AND MACHINE SAYS FAULTY ALTERNATOR. JUST DROPPED IT OFF AT DODGE CERTIFIED. NOT SURE WHAT THE OUTCOME WILL BE.

A KIND OF NOISE WAS PRESENT IN THE ENGINE AND I TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BACK IN AUGUST 2017. THE PARTIALLY FIXED THE ISSUE, HOWEVER, THEY SAID THAT A RECALL WAS AVAILABLE FOR IT, HOWEVER, NO REMEDIATION YET AVAILABLE. IN CONCLUSION, THEY SUGGESTED ME TO WAIT FOR THE REMEDIATION TO BE AVAILABLE B/C THE ALTERNATOR WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. SINCE AUGUST 2017 I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR DODGE TO RELEASE PARTS FOR THIS RECALL AND THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE LATER THAN NOVEMBER. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW AND I'M CONCERN THE VEHICLE MAY STOP AT ANY TIME DUE TO A FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHORT-CIRCUIT.
