2013 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

ALTERNATOR BAD IN CAR NEED TO EXPAND RECALL LIST ON VIN NUMBER. CAR START SMELLING LIKE BURNING THEN DIED ON HIGHWAY IN FRONT OF DUSTY COLLISION POCOLA OK. DUSTY OWNER OF BUSINESS AND LICENSE AUTO REPAIR PLACE STATED MY ALTERNATOR WAS BAD. THAT ME AND MY DOWN SYNDROME SON WAS LUCKY.

IF THE ALTERNATOR FAILS, THE VEHICLE STALL WITHOUT WARNING, TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BEEN TOLD THAT RECALL P60 IS ONLY FOR 160 AM ALTERNATOR AND MY IS 180 BUT THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN TO MY CAR.

THE CAR WAS SHUT DOWN FOR 1 1/2 HOURS AND SITTING IN A PARKING LOT WITH NOTHING RUNNING OR ON. WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED AS NORMAL, THERE WAS AN ODD SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I POPPED THE HOOD AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR. I SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND BLACK SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR. I HEARD POPPING AND SIZZLING COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION CHRYSLER (LOCATED AT 23820 CREEKSIDE RD, VALENCIA, CA 91355) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PCM WAS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE SCANNER. THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY NEEDED MORE TIME TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT THE SERVICE ADVISER DEPARTMENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,540.

HELLO MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER 3.6 WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE HAS JUST SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNINGS AND I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO A DODGE SHOP U WAITED ON MY VEHICLE FOR DAYS AND THEY SAID IT WAS A BLOWN FUSE BUT I'M IN THE TECHNOLOGY FIELD AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT SOMEONE HAS ACCESS OR REMOTELY ACCESS TO MY VEHICLE NOW I HAVE ISSUES WITH MY FUEL WHICH I'M GETTING 10 MILES A GALLON, AND MY VEHICLE IS GETTING TO A POINT TO WEAR I HAVE TO PULL OVER BECAUSE IT'S GETTING OVERHEATED SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG AND I FEEL UNSAFE ANYTIME YOUR VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF IT IT'S A HAZARD TO EVERYONE MY UCONNECT RADIO ASK FOR A ANTI THEFT CODE BUT IT WAS BEFORE I TOOK IT TO AUTO NATION DODGE IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT I'VE PARKED THE VEHICLE IT HAS 67000 MILES AND I JUST BOUGHT IT IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR ALSO THE WINDOWS ROLL DOWN BY THERE SELFS THE VEHICLE WAS GOING ABOUT 45 MPH ON CITY HWY AND THE DEALERSHIP NEVER HAD IT SMOKED BEFORE THEY SOLD IT TO ME

FOR SOME REASON NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I REPLACE IT, THE FRONT FUSE FOR THE A.C. WHERE THE ENGINE IS LOCATED KEEPS GETTING SOMETHING BURNED ON THE SIDE OF IT CAUSING MY A.C. TO STOP BLOWING COOL AIR. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR NOT. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT OWN THIS TYPE OF CAR HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

EVERY 3 MONTHS SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR THE BATTERY WILL BE DEAD. WHEN I HAVE BATTERY CHECKED WILL TEST GOOD. PUT BATTERY BACK ON AND WILL LAST 3 MORE MONTHS AND THEN DEAD AGAIN! EVER SINCE PURCHASING VEHICLE IN JUNE 2013. BATTERY SAVER MODE COMES ON MESSAGE SCREEN REGULARLY. WHENEVER BATTERY SAVER MODE IS ON MESSAGE SCREEN AM NOT ABLE TO USE RADIO OR OTHER ITEMS ON 8.4 INCH RADIO/NAV/PHONE SCREEN... WHEN ACCELERATING AT LIGHT, CAR HESITATES WHEN PUSHING GAS PEDAL AND THEN WHEN IS PUSHED A LITTLE FURTHER CAR LUNGES, NOT SMOOTH ACCELERATION. ALWAYS STARTS OUT SLOW AND SMOOTH THEN HESITATES (SEEMS LIKE GOING TO STALL) THEN LUNGES.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN STREET ALTERNATOR FAILED WITHOUT WARNING,WHICH IN TURN MADE CAR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH TOTAL LOST OF POWER.I HAD CAR TOWED TO ANTIOCH CHRYSLER WHICH COST ME $1300 FOR ALTERNATOR ,BATTERY LABOR

WHEN DRIVING I COULD HEAR A NOISE WHICH I THOUGHT WAS THE TRANSMISSION THEM I COULD SMELL A FAINT SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC. THEN THE BATTERY SAVER LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. NEVER MADE IT. GOT ABOUT 2 MILES AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. THE BRAKES WOULD ENGAGE ON THEIR ON THEIR OWN FINALLY THE CAR STARTED TO STALL AND COASTED TO A STOP. WHEN STOPPED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE RUNNING SLOWLY. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO DEALER AT MY COST. THEY SAID ALTERNATOR WAS BURNED UP AND IT ALSO BURNED UP THE BATTERY. EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL PAY FOR ALTERNATOR BUT NOT THE BATTERY. CAR HAS 43000 MILES.
