2010 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHARGER POLICE PACKAGE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE IGNITION ON HE STATED THAT YOU COULD SMELL EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE. HE STATED THAT THE ODOR WAS LIKE SMELLING THE EXHAUST PIPE. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE PASSENGER FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT EXPLAINED WELL TO THE DEALER AND WHO WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND EXPLAIN THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED AND APPROACHING A STOP. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS IDLING, THERE WAS AN EXTREMELY STRONG ODOR OF FUMES EMITTING INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE WOULD BE IDLING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR THE IDENTICAL FAILURE ON TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NOT A REMEDY FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERN OF THE POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNDER 9,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK OF THIS VEHICLE, THE FUEL TANK ACCEPTS ONLY A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF GASOLINE AT A TIME, APPROXIMATELY ONE-TENTH OF A GALLON AT A TIME. ALTHOUGH THE GAS TANK ON THE CAR IS FAR FROM FULL, THE PERSON FUELING THE TANK THEN CONTINUES TO SQUEEZE THE HANDLE ON THE GASOLINE SPIGOT, BUT THE TANK REJECTS THE GASOLINE AND THE GASOLINE SPILLS OUT ONTO THE CAR BODY, THE PERSON AND THE GROUND BENEATH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH A NUMBER OF 2010 DODGE CHARGERS RENTED AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY OVER THE LAST NINE MONTHS. THIS MAY BE A FILLER TUBE VENTING PROBLEM. *TR

I RECENTLY RENTED A 2010 DODGE CHARGER WITH POWER SEATS. NONE OF THE ADJUSTING BUTTONS ARE MARKED. AT THE FRONT SIDE CORNER OF THE SEAT IS A TOGGLE BUTTON. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE; I MOVED THIS BUTTON TO ADJUST THE SEAT WHICH I THOUGHT WAS LOGICAL. THIS BUTTON HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE POWER SEATS. THIS BUTTON WHEN ACTIVATED RAISES AND LOWERS THE GAS PEDAL POSITION AND BRAKE PEDAL POSITION. IT CAN BE ACTIVATED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE RESULT OF THIS IS THAT THE ACCELERATION AND BRAKING CAN BE INCREASED OR DECREASED UNEXPECTEDLY. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW THAT COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AT THE LEAST; IT SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO MOVE THESE PEDALS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. NO ACCIDENT RESULTED; BUT IT IS VERY DISORIENTING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND WHILE IT WAS IN THE PARK POSITION, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH PUSHED THAT VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER ONE. THE CONTACT CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO THE DRIVE POSITION WHEN THE CRASH OCCURRED. THE CONTACT DID NOT REPORT ANY INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FENDER WAS BEING REPAIRED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 5,630.

POWER ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDAL MOVEMENT SYSTEM HAS A TOGGLE SWITCH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT THAT IS EASILY CAUGHT BY A JACKET OR A COAT. THIS CAUSES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO MOVE TOWARDS YOU WHILE DRIVING AND IN TURN CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE FASTER BECAUSE YOUR FOOT IS STILL ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE TOGGLE SWITCH TO MOVE THESE PEDALS FORWARD OR BACK AWAY FROM THE DRIVER NEEDS TO BE RELOCATED TO THE DASH OR INOPERABLE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN THE DRIVE POSITION. *TR
