2007 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MY CAR WOULD COMPLETELY TURN OFF WHEN TURNING RIGHT. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. EACH TIME, I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE FOUND NOTHING. ON 10/3/2014 APPROXIMATELY 6:10 P.M., I TURNED RIGHT AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN FAYETTEVILLE, NC UNDERGOING SOME TESTS. I FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND AM ASKING THEM TO CHECK THE IGNITION FOR DEFECTS. I HAVE READ THAT THERE WERE OTHER DODGE VEHICLES THAT LOST POWER AND HAVE RESEARCHED THEM TO TAKE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT. IF I WERE TO TRADE THIS VEHICLE IN FOR ANOTHER CAR, I AM AFRAID THE NEXT PURCHASER'S LIFE COULD BE IN DANGER. ONCE IT STOPS, IT TAKES STRONG ARMS TO CONTROL IT WHILE PULLING OVER. I NEED ASSISTANCE IN GETTING TO THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES MALFUNCTIONED AND STOPPED OPERATING.

WHILE TRAVELING AT 40+ MPH I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ALL THE WAY, THE DODGE CHARGER DID NOT REACT AND KEPT ACCELERATING AT THE NORMAL RATE BEFORE I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. SINCE IT WAS NOT REACTING TO MY INPUT, I TOOK MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE VEHICLE KEPT ACCELERATING AT A CONSTANT RATE. THEN AFTER TWO SECONDS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT FULL THROTTLE, AND CONTINUED TO SPEED UP AT FULL THROTTLE. BRAKES WERE PRESSED BUT SEEMED TO HAVE ZERO EFFECT ON THE VEHICLE'S UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION. FINALLY I DECIDED TO PULL OVER TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND IT CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE. I THEN SHIFTED INTO PARK AND PRESSED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES WHILE THE ENGINE WAS STILL ACCELERATING. FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, LUCKILY, NO CAR WAS IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TIME TO PULL THE CAR OVER BEFORE I CAME TO THE UPCOMING RED LIGHT/INTERSECTION. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK SPRING HOOK BROKE OFF WHICH RESULTED IN LOCKING OF THE SHIFT LEVER IN "PARK" POSITION. THE ISSUE IS VERY COMMON FOR DODGE AND CHRYSLER MODELS AND IT IS COVERED BY RECALL K39 FOR DODGE CHARGER MODELS MADE BETWEEN 2005 AND 2007. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED INCLUSION OF THE DESCRIBED CONDITION IN THE K39 RECALL STATING THAT MY CAR WAS MADE FEW MONTHS BEYOND THE K39 RECALL DATES. FROM THE MANUFACTURER K39 LETTER( HTTP://WWW.CHRYSLER.COM/WEBSELFSERVICE/PDF/K39.PDF) -TO PROVE OUR COMMITMENT TO QUALITY, THE COMPANY IS INVESTING IN AND PRIORITIZING IMPROVEMENTS FOR EVERY VEHICLE THAT WE BUILD. AS PART OF THAT COMMITMENT, WE ARE ALSO TARGETING EXISTING VEHICLES ON THE ROAD TODAY AND CONTACTING OUR CUSTOMERS TO PROVIDE THESE QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS, AT NO CHARGE, THAT WILL HELP TO IMPROVE YOUR OWNERSHIP SATISFACTION -' HOGWASH. *TR

THIS IS NOW THE THIRD TIME THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE IN GEAR. GALEANA IN FT MYERS HAS SERVICED THE VEHICLE AFTER EVERY INCIDENT. WE HAVE BEEN OUT OF A VEHICLE FOR AN ACCUMULATIVE OF OVER THIRTY DAYS, HAD TO PAY FOR RENTALS, TAXES, GAS TO GET TO AND FROM THE DEALER AND BOGUS REPAIR COSTS. THE FIRST SERVICE CHARGE WAS THAT OF 500 HUNDRED DOLLARS, WHICH THE VEHICLE STALLED A FEW DAYS LATER AND THE TECHS SAID THE SERVICE THEY HAD DONE WOULD NOT HAVE FIXED THE STALLING!!???WHAT??. THEY THEN REPLACED THE RELAY FUSE WORTH FIFTEEN DOLLARS THE 2ND TIME IT WAS SERVICED, THE VEHICLE STALLED TWO DAYS AFTER HAVING IT BACK AND WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO THE HOSPITAL IN THE VEHICLE! I NEED THIS DOCUMENTED BECAUSE THIS TIME DODGE CORPORATE RESPONDED IN LESS THAN TWELVE HOURS TO GALEANA TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED AND A MAIN WIRE REPLACED AND IT HASN'T STALLED SINCE, BUT NOW I WANT REIMBURSE!!! *TR
