2017 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

The steering on this vehicle randomly becomes hard to steer during driving. This is very dangerous and the problem should not be occurring in these vehicles so soon. It's electrical power steering, so it's not an easy fix and can really cause accidents with the way it comes and goes while driving.

The contact owns a 2017 Dodge Charger. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle independently accelerated at a high speed. The contact shifted into neutral(N) to slow the forward momentum of the vehicle. The vehicle decelerated, stopped, and was towed to the dealer however, no failure was found with the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure but provided no assistance. The contact was referred to the NHTSA for assistance. The failure mileage was 50,000.

The drive shaft on my Charger started to make a clicking noise. At 56,694 miles I had to replace the drive shaft at an independent garage because the Dodge dealer could not see my car for 3 weeks. The drive shaft is at the garage and available for inspection. I called Dodge for any compensation, and they said they would not provide any.

vehicle sat idling for approximately 20 minutes and when starting to drive there was no assist to the power steering. Drove approximately 2 miles without power assist and turned off engine for 1 hour, restarted engine and power assist worked. Afraid to drive it and have power assist fail while driving

The safety issue is due to the delamination between the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and touch screen digitizer of the Uconnect 8.4 Instrument Panel Module. This unit controls the infotainment system, navigation, and numerous vehicle settings. The failure mode of continuous false selections (ghost touches) is far beyond merely annoying. It is very distracting to drive a vehicle which is randomly switching to random modes. It is dangerous because the driver knows the car is changing functions without command inputs and is almost compulsively distracted to turn attention to the display to understand what happened and whether corrective action is needed. FCA offers no recourse other than component replacement by the dealer at owner cost if out of warranty. I was quoted a price of $1930 due to expiration of warranty. This is a known materials defect that should be corrected by the manufacturer regardless of warranty. As a material and manufacturing defect, the problem was present from vehicle assembly with high probability of manifestation at some future time.

My Uconnect radio back up camera does not work 100 percent of the time and radio dails 911 when car is on and ghost touching while driving anywhere. I have taking the vehicle to a dodge dealership and they are well aware of the issue and problems that are happening with the Uconnect radio system and are unable to fix safety issue unless item is recalled my wife safety has been placed at risked due to always having to hang up on 911 and take her eyes off the road constantly to do so. Picture uploaded is what causes the safety issue.

2017 Charger UConnect system going crazy due to delamination problem causing driver to take attention from the road. Dodge knows of this issue but has not issued a recall.

This is regarding the Uconnect radio. The screen has delaminated and is constantly pressing buttons by itself. Randomly making phone calls and startling me while driving, one time it called the police. Turning the heat and air and climate seats off and on consistently. This is dangerous.

Headlamp goes off. I have replaced the headlamp recently in a month it goes off again. Seems like wiring is melting.

Burning fuses in fuse box under hood causing charing to the yellow mini fuses and making the headlight go out. There's one seperate fuse for the right headlight and one seperate fuse for the left headlight. There are youtube videos on it also. When you try to contact Dodge about it they brush you off and then send you a survey form by email asking you how was ypur service experience. When you tell them you were never contacted in the survey, they send you another survey. That's an insult.
