I PURCHASED THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO WITH THE TITLE, JUST HAVING IT AT MY PARENTS HOUSE BECAUSE I HAVE ANOTHER CAR. I DROVE IT BACK TO MEMPHIS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT JERKED, CUT THE CAR OFF TURN IT BACK ON IT DRIVES NO MORE THAN 30 MPH. GOT A READING AT 2 DIFFERENT AUTO ZONES, AND GOT A TUNE UP, OIL CHANGE, AND WIRE COILS THAT GO WITH THE CAR. STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. SO I DRIVE THE CAR BACK TO MY PARENTS HOUSE A HOUR AWAY FROM MEMPHIS AND IT'S GOING SLOW, SO OF COURSE LAW ENFORCEMENT HAD SOME QUESTIONS THAT ALMOST ALLOWED ME TO GET THE CAR TOWED AT THE TIMES WITH THE CORONAVIRUS GOING ON AS WELL.. SO, AFTER I GET MY SLOW CAR OUT THE IMPOUND, I LOOKED ON CARS.COM AND I SEE A PREVIOUS RECALL ON MY CAR THAT I DIDN'T SEE AT THE TIME OR PURCHASE OR HAD ANY IDEA OF, THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE TO LATE TO FIX EVEN THOUGH THESE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS I'M HAVING AT THIS PRESENT MOMENT. MY CAR JERKS BACK WHEN TRYING TO PUT IT IN THE REVERSE OR DRIVE. SO, I GO BACK TO AUTOZONE, IN THE LITTLE TOWN BECAUSE NOW I'M AFRAID TO MOVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF THE DANGER IT'S IN. AUTOZOBE DON'T WANT TO DO THE READING SO I DO IT MYSELF BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO GET INTO PEOPLE CARS AT THIS TIME. SO, KEEP IN MIND I'VE GOT THE WORK DONE TO THE CAR AND I'M COMING BACK TO CONFIRM THAT I DID DO THOSE THINGS. THE MAN WHO WORKED AT AUTOZONE TOLD ME IT WAS SOMETHING WITH MY WIRING, AND TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIND THE PART NEEDED IN THE STORE I SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYES THE SCREEN TURN BLANK. TOOK IT TO DODGE, THEY JUST REPLACE THE AIR BAGS, AND OF COURSE OFFER TO MAKE ME SPEND MONEY. I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PREVIOUS RECALL ON MY CAR AND NO ONE HELPED EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A MAXIMUM 10 YEARS. BUT IF THESE CARS ARE STILL SELLING AND BEING USED THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY TIME FRAME FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE FIXED BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOW UNSAFE AND UNUSABLE, AND THE OWNER OUT OF MONEY.

THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHT DIMMER BROKE ON THE INSIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL , IT WON'T RETURN TO THE MIDDLE AFTER YOU TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. ALMOST GOTTEN IN A FEW ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY SIGNAL LIGHT WAS STILL ON.

CAR GOES TO LIMP MODE IT FEELS LIKE IT LOSES POWER.STEERING WHEEL CONTROL S DONT WORK AND WIPERS STOP WHEN THEY WANT

2007 DODGE CHARGER 5.7 170,000+ MILES STALLING IMMEDIATELY OR SHORTLY AFTER FUELING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IN DRIVE. IDENTICAL TO SAME ISSUES IN THE 2006 MODELS. CAR IS IN MOTION EACH TIME IT HAS STALLED ON CITY STREETS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. CAR THREW EVAP CANISTER CODES. COMPONENTS WERE REPAIRED BUT CAR CONTINUED TO STALL AFTER EVER FULL TANK OF GAS. CAR THREW EVAP LEAK CODE. NO LEAKS FOUND. FUEL PUMP WAS CHECKED AND TANK CHECKED FOR OVER FLOW. NO LEAKS. NO GAS SMELL. FUEL PUMP AND EVAP SYSTEM RULED OUT AS CAUSE. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE WITH THE TANK ITSELF.

MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND WAS AT THE STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND HE HIT THE GAS TO GO THE CAR STALLED AND IT STARTED SMOKING FROM UNDER THE TRUNK AND WITHIN SECONDS WAS IN FLAMES. MY SON HAD TO JUMP OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WENT AND TURNED THE FIRE OUT. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHY IT WENT UP IN FIRE. WE WERE DRIVING IT ALL MORNING AND MY SON DRIVES IT TO SCHOOL WITH NO ISSUES.
