MY 2014 DODGE CHARGER HAS 55,000 MILES. THE CAR HAS A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IF MY CAR WAS TO LOSE ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING I RUN A RISK OF CRASHING INTO SOMEONE OR SOMETHING POSSIBLY KILLING ANOTHER PERSON OR MYSELF. I WAS TOLD BY THE DODGE DEALERSHIP THAT IT IS A "FAULTY" TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER SYSTEM ALSO KNOWN AS THE TIPM. AS UPON READING CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS FOR CHRYSLERS "FAULTY" TIPM. PLEASE HELP ME FIX MY ISSUE AS THIS IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE TO DRIVE BEING THAT IT COULD LOSE POWER AT ANY GIVEN TIME.

WHILE DRIVING AND PREPARING TO TURN MY VEHICLE TOOK CONTROL AND I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO BREAK OR TURN. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NOBODY IN THE NEIGHBOR AT THE TIME AND WITH LESS THAN A FOOT FROM HITTING THE STOP SIGN I WAS ABLE TO STOP. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED (1.5 YEARS PRIOR)AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG JUST NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. I INSISTED THIS WAS NOT THE ISSUE SO THE MANAGER HAD HIS ASSOCIATE TEST DRIVE TO COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION THE STEERING AND BRAKE SYSTEM IS FINE. NOT HAPPY I LEFT AFTER PURCHASING THE BATTERY AND HERE WE ARE 1.5 WEEKS LATER WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I TRIED TO DRIVE OUT OF WORK YESTERDAY AND I LOST CONTROL TO MY STEERING AND IT LOCKED. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TRIED ONCE MORE THE SAME THING HAPPENED, I THEN TRY TO RESTART BUT IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DO SO. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND IT STARTED. NOT FEELING SAFE FOR MY LIFE I LEFT THE CAR AT WORK AND STILL DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT. FROM WHAT I AM READING I AM NOT THE ONLY 2014 DODGE CHARGER HAVING THIS ISSUE. I NEED THIS FIXED IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

MY 2014 DODGE CHARGER IS BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT OF LHM DODGE IN TUCSON, AZ. BY 13,978 MY CAR SMELLED LIKE SULFUR WHILE IN MOTION. DRIVING SLUGGISHLY, AND THE "BATTERY SAVER MODE" LIGHT ON. BROUGHT INTO LARRY H MILLER FOR REPAIR. WAS TOLD THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED REPLACED AFTER 13,975 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AT 14,100 MILES THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING THE SAME SMELL, AND THE BATTERY SAFER MODE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN . RETURNED IT TO LHM WITH COMPLAINTS. THEY SAY "IT'S NORMAL" MANAGER TOLD ME "DODGE JUST DIDN'T MAKE THE ALTERNATOR BIG ENOUGH FOR THAT ENGINE, MANUFACTURER FLAW"AT 14,432 MILES, THE VEHICLE NOT BLOWING COLD AIR. BATTERY SAVER MODE LIGHT WAS STILL ON, SMELLED LIKE SULFUR AND CAR WAS DRIVING SLUGGISH. I OPENED CASE WITH CORPORATE. THEY "FIXED" IT, AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. ON JUNE 17, 2016, MY VEHICLE WAS DRIVING SLUGGISHLY, THE ENGINE LIGHT ON, CALLED DODGE IMMEDIATELY AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER. I CALLED JIM CLICK IMMEDIATELY TO GET MY VEHICLE IN. MY VEHICLE WAS 23,900 MILES. DODGE CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT GET ME IN UNTIL JULY 1ST AND THAT ITS "FINE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AS LONG AS THE LIGHT ISN'T FLASHING". BROUGHT IN FOR "REPAIR" ON JUNE 1ST. I DROVE A RENTAL CAR FROM FRIDAY JUNE 1ST-JUNE 8TH, THE "CLUSTER" IN THE DASH WAS NOT READING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS "ALL FIXED". WHEN THE VEHICLE PULLED UP I GOT IN AND BEGAN TO PULL AWAY AS MY DASHBOARD WENT BLACK. I TURNED AROUND. MY ADVISOR BROUGHT IT BACK AND EXPLAINED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE "RESET" BUT THAT HE'LL ORDER A NEW CLUSTER. I GET INTO MY VEHICLE THERE IS AN "ERROR" SIGN WHERE THE MILAGE IS SUPPOSED TO BE. I THAT I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I EXPRESSED HOW UPSET I WAS ABOUT THE SITUATION AND HE SAID TO ME "YOU'LL BE FINE TO DRIVE IT, IT WON'T SHUT OFF". I GET HOME STARTED IT, AND THE ENTIRE DASH SHUTS OFF. MY CAR IS NOW BEING TOWED AGAIN TO JIM CLICK DODGE.

I'VE HAD 3 CRASHES BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRONIC GEAR SHIFTER. CRASH #1) I PULLED OVER TO USE MY PHONE I PUT THE CAR IN PARK ONLY TO HEARD A THUMP. I HIT THE BENZ IN FRONT OF ME DAMAGING BOTH MY CAR AND THE MERCEDES BENZ. CRASH #2 I BACKED INTO A PARKING SPACE PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WENT TO THE TRUNK TO GET SOME BOTTLED WATER IF I HAD JUMPED OUT OF THE WAY I WOULD HAVE BEEN PINNED AGAINST A BRICK WALL. CRASHED #3) THE CAR RAN INTO A FENCE AFTER I PUT IT IN PARK AND GOT OUT. CAUSING FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS WEIRD GEAR SHIFTER. BECAUSE THE STICK JUMS BACK TO THE CENTER YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT GEAR YOU'RE IN.

WHEN DRIVING (MAINLY LOW SPEED) THERE IS A METAL TO METAL/POPPING TYPE NOISE COMING FROM LOWER AREA. SEEMS TO BE SOMEWHERE WITH ROTATION OF TIRES, OR SUSPENSION TRAVEL, OR TRANSMISSION. ONLY WHEN THERE IS MOVEMENT WITH THE VEHICLE, SOUNDS AS IF THERE ARE 2 PIECES OF METAL RUBBING/BUMPING TOGETHER INTEMITTENTLY. IT IS NOT A CONSTANT NOISE, SEEMS TO BE MORE NOISE ON ROUGHER ROAD CONDITIONS. DODGE DEALER SAID THEY CANNOT "RIP APART MY VEHICLE WITHOUT KNOWING THE CAUSE OF NOISE."

LOSS OF ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. WARNING LIGHTS INDICATED FOR BOTH. CAUSE WAS A BAD WHEEL SENSOR DRIVER SIDE REAR. 6,169 MILES.
