2007 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

MY 07 DODGE CHARGER R/T STALLS RANDOMLY CAUSING LOST OF POWER AND STEERING WHEEL LOCK. VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY, ME AND MY FAMILY COULD OF BEEN KILLED. I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE A RECALL AS ALL DODGE DEALERSHIPS ARE SAYING ITS NOT A RECALL. I FOUND ON MANY FORUMS WITH PEOPLE DEALING WITH THE STALL ISSUE ON THE VEHICLE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION IS TO REFLASH THE POWER CONTROL MODULE, BUT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSE AND TELLS ME TO CALL CHRYSLER WHERE THEY AS WELL REFUSE. I AM GETTING TIRED OF DODGE THIS HAS HAPPEN TO ME ABOUT 7 TIMES SINCE MY PURCHASE IN JULY 2014. PLEASE HELP NHTSA. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS MODULE CONTROL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V493000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC), BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. UPDATED 03/04/15*LJ UPDATED 10/8/15 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V354000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER DID NOT PROVIDE A SPECIFIC DATE WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE.

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A SHUDDER WHILE STOPPED FOR LIGHTS ON AND OFF FOR YEARS, SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW IN 07. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG (NO CODES) AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE COMPLAINT. THEN IN 2013 IT BEGAN STALLING AT LIGHTS AFTER THE SHUDDER AND SOMETIMES WITHOUT THE SHUDDER. AGAIN LEAVING NO CODES. I'M A ASE CERTIFIED MASTER TECH OF FORTY YEARS. A TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKUP COULD CAUSE IT TO SHUDDER AND STALL, BUT SHOULD LEAVE A CODE. BUT A DEFECTIVE CRANK POSITION OR CAM POSITION SENSOR COULD SHUT IGNTION OFF WITHOUT LEAVING A CODE. THEREFORE, FOR A TOTAL OF $32.50 I CHANGED BOTH SENSORS. IT FIXED BOTH ISSUES FOR 7 OR 8 MONTHS. SUDDENLY, TODAY 12/30/14 IT'S DOING BOTH AGAIN! THERE'S TO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TO IGNORE THE SAFETY ISSUES OF STALLING IN TRAFFIC WHILE STANDING STILL DRIVING 60 MPH.HELP FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!!!!!! THANKS. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEEDS, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AFTER GETTING GAS WHEN MY CAR CUT COMPLETELY OFF LUCKILY I WAS IN THE SLOWN LANE AND NO CARS WAS COMING .I GOT TO CRANK BACK UP BUT IT DROVE FOR A LITTLE AND CUT OFF AGAIN,SO I LEFT IT THERE AND WHEN THE TOW GUY BROUGHT IT TO MY HOUSE SO I WENT TO TEST DRIVE IT AND IT WORKED FINE.AND I NOTICE WHEN I GOT GAS THE NEXT TIME THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN I GET GAS. *TR

NOTIFICATION CODE K39 THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK BROKE. THE BROKEN INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK WAS THE RESULT OF THE INABILITY TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR IT AS PER NOTIFICATION CODE K39 RECALL. I HAVE MY REPAIR RECEIPTS FROM MIDAS AUTO SERVICE EXPERTS. *JS
