THE DODGER CHARGER RT HAS BEEN THE WORSE VEHICLE I HAVE EVER PAID FOR. MY CHARGER IS ONLY AT 80,000 MILES AND THE CHARGER HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY. THE TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES WITH GOING OVER 50 MPH AND THE ENGINE NOW KNOCKS. I AM JUST SITING HERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW A VEHICLE AT 80,000 HAVE THIS MANY ISSUES.

THE CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 50-55 MPH. EVERYTHING WENT OUT. EVENTUALLY THE CAR STARTED. NOW, WHEN I STOP AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT STALLS OUT. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A WARNING LIGHT AND I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED WITH A COMPUTER. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH INDICATING THERE IS A PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO INCREASE SPEED, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECREASE IN SPEED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED RANDOMLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

WHILE TRAVELING ON US 33 WEST BOUND IN MARYSVILLE OHIO, JUST IN FRONT OF EXIT HONDA PARKWAY AROUND 6 AM, TRAFFIC CAME TO A STOP, AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN, ESTIMATING AROUND 50 MPH (70 SPEED LIMIT), THE CAR BEHIND ME CRASHED INTO THE THE REAR OF MY CAR, AFTER COLLISION I RESPONDED BY TRYING TO STEER MY CAR TO LEFT, BUT HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. ALL THREE CARS INVOLVED IN THE CRASH WERE TOTALED. THE REAR IMPACT SHATTERED THE REAR WINDOW AND SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE OCCURRED TO THE REAR OF MY CAR AND ALSO THE FRONT FROM THE FORWARD COLLISION. THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, I HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL, AND SUFFERED FROM A DIAGNOSED CONCUSSION AS WELL AS A SEVERE STRAIN TO MY NECK. ONE YEAR AGO, I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO A DODGE DEALER TO GET THE AIRBAG REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL. CONSIDERING THIS, I REACHED OUT TO DODGE AND THEY ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER TO THE INCIDENT. IT HAS NOW BEEN FOUR WEEKS, SINCE I HAVE CONTRACTED THEM, AND DODGE IS YET TO RESPOND TO MY ISSUE. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES EACH WEEK, FOLLOWING UP ON THE CASE BUT HAS NOT CONTACTED ME OUR PROVIDED ME WITH ANY INFORMATION. DODGE HAS CLAIMED TO HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REACH OUT TO ME, BUT CITED AN ISSUE WITH HAVING WRONG NUMBER, EVEN AS I HAVE CONFIRMED / VERIFIED MY CONTACT INFORMATION EVERY TIME I HAVE CONTACTED THEM.

HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE GEAR SHIFT APART SO I CAN SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE PINK SWITCH IS BROKEN. $400 REPAIR REQUIRED. JUST LUCKY IT BROKE IN THE DRIVEWAY AND NOT WHEN MY FAMILY WAS ON A TRIP 2 HOURS FROM HOME.
