TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER (ANDERSON TOYOTA, 6510 SHOWPLACE AVE, LAKE HAVASU CITY, AZ 86404, (928) 764-2886) FAILED TO MENTION THAT THERE WERE FIVE MANUFACTURER RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD. THE DEALER (ANDERSON CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 3920 AZ-95, LAKE HAVASU CITY, AZ 86404, (928) 764-5153) WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE MANUFACTURER WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE REMEDY AND REPAIR PARTS FOR THE RECALLS.

I PURCHASED MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER FROM ANDERSON TOYOTA OF LAKE HAVASU CITY, ARIZONA AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE LAST YEAR. I HAVE SINCE COME TO DISCOVER THAT THE VEHICLE HAS 5 ACTIVE SAFETY RECALLS, NONE OF WHICH WERE ADDRESSED OR FIXED PRIOR TO THE DEALERSHIP SELLING ME THE CAR. SEVERAL OF THE RECALLS HAVE BEEN IN PLACE FOR YEARS, BUT I WAS NEVER INFORMED THAT I WAS BEING SOLD A VEHICLE KNOWN TO BE UNSAFE. I AM NOW PAYING ON A FINANCED VEHICLE THAT CANNOT BE DRIVEN OUT OF TOWN, DUE TO KNOWN DEFECTS THAT WERE IN PLACE AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (BENNETT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, LOCATED AT 1491 GA-40, KINGSLAND, GA 31548; (912) 729-7100) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE CAR'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, INCLUDING ABS, POWER STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY AND DASHBOARD GAUGES, AS WELL AS AC AND RADIO, SUDDENLY CUT OUT DURING DRIVING. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY THE ALTERNATOR CATCHING FIRE. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET (IN MOTION). THE FIRE WAS QUICKLY EXTINGUISHED WITH A BOTTLE OF WATER, BUT SOME PLASTIC/WIRING WAS BURNED.

THE TPMS SYSTEM HAS FAILED. 3 OF 4 TIRES SHOW A PRESSURE BUT IS NOT ACCURATE, SEEMS TO BE FROZEN ON A PRIOR PRESSURE READING. 4TH TIRE POSITION SHOWS "- -". RECENTLY HAD A NAIL IN TIRE THAT CAUSED DEFLATION. DRIVER DID NOT NOTICE SEVERELY UNDER INFLATED TIRE CAUSING POOR HANDLING AND INCREASED RISK OF ACCIDENT. PASSERBY NOTIFIED DRIVER OF LOW TIRE PRESSURE CONDITION. SUBJECT VEHICLE ALSO HAS FAILED BLUETOOTH MODULE WHICH MAY BE RELATED? VEHICLE HAS ALSO BEEN TO DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR CHARGING SYSTEM, BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH SUBJECT VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN CURRENT RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR SAME ISSUES. IS THERE A CORRELATION BETWEEN OVERCHARGING CONDITION AND FAILING MODULES?

ON AUGUST 18, 2017, I STARTED MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER AND DISCOVERED THAT THE UCONNET SYSTEM WAS NO LONGER WORKING. MY HANDS FREE SYSTEM COULD NO LONGER BE CONNECTED. AFTER CONTACTING UCONNECT, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BLUETOOTH MODULE HAD STOPPED WORKING. THIS IS A PROBLEM WHEN YOU ARE CONSTANTLY IN YOUR VEHICLE FOR WORK PURPOSES AND DEPEND ON THE HANDS FREE DRIVING.
