2007 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

WHILE UNDER TEN MPH IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, CAR STALLED, HAD TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART, NO CODES THROWN AND ENGINE RAN FINE AFTER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND LEAVING A TOLL BOOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. HE COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY ONE DOZEN TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER REPAIRED A CABLE WIRE TO THE WHEEL WELL. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER YET THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

PURCHASED 07 R/T CHARGER FROM DEALER BRAND NEW,,TREATED LIKE BABY, CHANGED OIL AND HAD ALL SERVICE COMPLETED AT DEALERSHIP. WITHOUT NOTICE CAR DIES ON STREET AS IF VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS. GAS LIGHT ON. PUT GAS IN VEHICLE ONLY TO START UP MAKING AN EXTREMELY LOUD KNOCKING SOUND. MIND YOU VEHICLE HAD BEEN RUNNING LIKE A CHARM. HAD VEHICLE TOWED ONLY TO BE TOLD #6 CYLINDER BLOWN,MOTOR GONE. WHAT IS DODGE DOING ABOUT THIS. APPARENTLY CERRITOS DODGE IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON 6 CHARGERS THAT NEED ENTIRELY NEW ENGINES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER AWD. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING FROM THE ENGINE. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE ADVISED HER THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NO OIL ON THE DIP STICK. THE MECHANIC ADDED 4 QUARTS OF OIL TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER ADVISED HER THAT THE TEFLON PISTONS WERE CONSUMING A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL AND WAS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE. THE DEALER DID NOT FIND A FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD AN OIL CHANGE LESS THAN 2,500 MILES AGO AND THE RATE OF WHICH THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING OIL WAS ABNORMAL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,925.

WE WENT TO THE MOVIES AND WHEN WE CAME OUT THE CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. NO MATTER WHAT WE DID THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD NOT MOVE. WE HAD TO GET A RIDE HOME. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHARGERS AND TOLD US HOW TO GET INTO THE GEAR SHIFT MECHANISM SO THAT WE COULD GET IT OUT OF PARK. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME IT IS PUT IN PARK WE HAVE TO TAKE IT APART. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS FIXED ON THE CAR WHEN IT IS CONSIDERED A COMMON PROBLEM. DODGE NEEDS TO MAKE THEIR CUSTOMERS HAPPY, WE WILL NOT BE RECOMMENDING THIS VEHICLE UNTIL A RECALL IS MADE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. WE FEEL IT IS POOR SALESMANSHIP TO NOT DISCLOSE THIS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SALE. WE HAVE BEEN DODGE OWNERS FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS BUT THAT IS DUE TO CHANGE WITHOUT FURTHER HELP ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AFTER DEALERSHIP CHANGING ALL 8 COILS AND CAM SENSOR THERE IS NO CHANGE IN DRIVEABILITY. CAR STILL CUTS OUT SPONTANEOUSLY, BUCKS, AND SNORTS WHEN DOING SIMPLE (NO DRAMA) PASSES. I HEARD OF THESE CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I HAVE A SUSPICION THAT THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT FIND ANYTHING. I SURELY DO NOT WANT MY WIFE AND KIDS TO BE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND HAVE IT JUST TURN OFF ON THEM!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT INTO PARK BUT IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SHIFTING MECHANISM FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 51000.

I DROVE MY CAR TO WORK AND PARKED IT. WHEN I WENT OUT TO MY CAR TO GO TO LUNCH IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I HAD TO REMOVE THE UPHOLSTERY AROUND THE GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR TO GET TO THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TO USE A SCREW DRIVER TO MOVE THE BROKEN PIECE SO THAT I CAN SHIFT THE CAR, UNTIL I HAVE TIME TO MAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE CHARGER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE IGNITION. THE ENGINE FAILED TO OPERATE. SUDDENLY, SMOKE EMITTED FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE SMALL FLAMES WHICH ORIGINATED FROM THE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

ENGINE SPUTTERS WHILE IDLE. I CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 2500-3000 MILES, ALONG WITH ENGINE AIR FILTER AND SPARK PLUG CHANGE AT 36,000. WHILE IDLE, ONCE IN A WHILE THE ENGINE WILL SPUTTER. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE (CND) THE PROBLEM, THEREFORE THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER THEY ASKED IF I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. I LOVED THE RT WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED IT. NOW! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO PURCHASE IT. ENGINE SPUTTERS, SIDE WINDOW IS SCRATCHED DUE TO MECHANISM, ROTOR ARE WARPED, AND OF COURSE THE SHIFTER STUCK IN PARK, AND THE ABS LIGHT IS NOW. ALL OF WHICH CHRYSLER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE FOR MY VIN, BUT HAVE A RECALL ON OTHERS. HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT? LET US CONTINUE TO SUBMIT OUR COMPLAINTS AND HOPEFULLY NO ONE WILL BE INJURED. AND MAYBE CHRYSLER WILL PAY FOR THEIR PROBLEMS. STARTING TO HATE MY HOT RED RT! *TR
