2008 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

PERIODIC ISSUES WITH NOT WANTING TO START. THE KEY WOULD BE PUT IN AND TURNED, BUT IT WOULD NOT FIRE. THE KEY COULD BE TURNED OFF AND THEN WOULD START ON THE NEXT TRY. THEN, ON SATURDAY MAY 11, 2019 THE CAR WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE THE KEY BEING INSERTED AND TURNED TO THE ON POSITION.

I DROVE MY 2008 DODGE CHARGER 45 MINUTES HOME FROM WORK AND IT JUST SHUT OFF. BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND BEFORE I COULD PULL OVER THE CAR SHUT OFF. I JUMPED THE BATTERY AND IT STAYED STARTED FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES BEFORE IT DIED AGAIN. NOW IT WONT TURN OVER, NOTHING WORKING INSIDE CAR.

CAR HAS ALWAYS HAD CHRYSLER RECALL P57. IGNITION INTERMITTENTLY WOULD STICK ON START CAUSING THE ENGINE TO CONTINUOUSLY CRANK BUT NOT START. CAR WOULD INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. WOULD RESUME NORMALLY WHEN RESTARTED. IS OCCURRING MORE AND MORE AND MY WIFE ALMOST WRECKED YESTERDAY BECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I AM TOLD RECALL ONLY COVERS CHARGERS BUILT BETWEEN MAY 24, 2007, TO MAY 12, 2008. MY WIFE'S WAS BUILT ON JULY 3, 2008. RESEARCHING ONLINE IT IS NOT ISOLATED TO OUR CAR. I FEEL THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO OTHER 2008 CHARGERS WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS.

TAMARA RECALL P60 IT CUT OFF WHILE I WAS GOING UP THE RAMP TO GET ON THE EXPRESS WAY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO OVERHEAT. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BECAUSE THE COOLANT FAN PUNCTURED THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

I CAN PUT THE KEY IN THE STARTER I'M TURNING IT OVER NOVI TRUCK IS RUNNING TO MY GAS PUMP OR MY SPEEDOMETER OR MY RADIO

PASSENGER SIDE FUEL PUMP FAULTY, LEAKES GAS INTO THE CAR CABIN MAKING IT SMELL LIKE FUEL AFTER FILLING UP THE CAR UNTIL ITS DOWN TO ABOUT 3/4 OF A TANK.

CAR STARTED TO HAVE ISSUES WITH HESITATION AND STARTUP. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENLY. I SEEN ONLINE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING SIMINAR ISSUES BUT CANT PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. I SEEN FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS, IACV, MISFIRING ETC. THE CAR THROWS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS BUT WHEN YOU PLUG THE CAR INTO A OBD 2 SCANNER IT SHOWS THE LONG TERM FUEL TRIM VERY HIGH AT 16.4 IN IDLE.

OVER THE PAST WEEK ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN TRYING TO START VEHICLE STARTER WOULD NOT ENGAGE. USED DIFFERENT FOB'S WITH SAME RESULT. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO LESTER GLENN CHRYSLER/DODGE, TOMS RIVER, NJ. DIAGNOSIS WAS IGNITION MODULE. COST TO REPAIR $1,200. THIS OCCURRED WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

THE BLADE ON THE FAN BLADE BROKE OFF,AND STUCK A HOLE IN THE RADIATOR I WAS DRIVING AND I HEARD THIS NOISE,SMOKE STARTED COMING THRU THE VENT IN THE CAR
