2013 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

I RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL P60 FROM CHRYSLER IN EARLY DECEMBER 2014. THE SAFETY RECALL INDICTED THAT THE PARTS REQUIRED WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THE REMEDY PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TODAY 3/7/15 AND THEY INDICATED THEY HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHEN THIS SITUATION WOULD BE REMEDIED. GIVEN THE FACT THAT THIS IS AN ALTERNATOR SITUATION WHICH COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO UNEXPECTEDLY SHUTDOWN OR CATCH FIRE, IT DOES NOT APPEAR AS THOUGH THIS SITUATION IS BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY CHRYSLER / DODGE. I WOULD LIKE A REMEDY TO THIS SITUATION IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS A SAFETY RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR SINCE NOVEMBER 2014, THE ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE. I CALLED CHRYSLER THE NEXT DAY TO INFORM THEM OF THIS EVENT AND I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND PUT ON A LIST. I USE MY CAR DAILY FOR WORK AND CAN'T BE WITHOUT IT SO I AM WONDERING HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET IN PARTS TO FIX IT. MY CHILDREN AND I ARE IN DANGER EVERY TIME WE HAVE TO GO SOME WHERE UNTIL THIS MATTER IS RESOLVED. *TR

I AM IN RECEIPT OF SAFETY RECALL P60/NHTSA 14V-634 I OWN A 2013 DODGE CHARGER SE 3.6L ENGINE, WA580 5-SPD TRANSMISSION. ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 2015, WHILE TRAVELING FROM LA VALLE, WI TO TOMAH, WI, I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 2015, I EMAILED A NOTE TO CHRYSLER ASSISTANCE THAT I HAD RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF RECALL ABOUT 2 MONTHS PRIOR, WITH NO FURTHER COMMUNICATIONS FROM CHRYSLER. ON SUNDAY, FEB 1, 2015, TRAVELING ROUND TRIP FROM TOMAH, WI TO LA VALLE, WI AND BACK, I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. ON MONDAY, FEB 2, 2015, I HAD MY CAR IN FOR A REGULAR SCHEDULED SERVICING. I ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE RECALL, TO WHICH THEY INDICATED THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT IT, BUT DID NOT HAVE ANY NEW INFORMATION EITHER. THEY OFFERED TO LOAD TEST MY BATTERY, WHICH WAS FINE, INDICATING THAT I COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR. LATER IN THE DAY ON FEB 2, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM CHRYSLER ASSISTANCE INDICATING THAT MY COMPLAINT HAD BEEN FORWARDED TO THEIR SPECIAL TRACKING DEPARTMENT, AND THAT ONCE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, I WOULD BE NOTIFIED. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO LOOK INTO WHY CHRYSLER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO ARRANGE EITHER A BETTER PART OR AN ALTERNATE SOLUTION TO REMEDY THE RECALL. I DO NOT NORMALLY DRIVE THE CAR MUCH AFTER DARK, BUT TO BE STALLED SOMEWHERE OUT IN THE COUNTRY WHEN IT'S 20- ZERO OUTSIDE WOULD PUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY YOUNG DAUGHTER NEEDLESSLY AT RISK. *TR
