IN JULY 2007 I PURCHASED A 07 DODGE CHARGER. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 20+ TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. THE SPEDOMETER FLUCTUATES FROM 60 TO 40 MPH WHEN IN CRUISE CONTROL AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE VEHICLE HAS ODD LITTLE SHAKES AND SHIMMYS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WONT STAY OFF FOR MORE THEN 5 DAYS. THE REMOTE ENTRY WONT WORK ALL THE TIME EVEN IF I'M STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO THE VEHICLE. THERE HAS BEEN A NEW FUEL EXTRACTOR PUT INTO THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. ON NOVEMBER 1, 2006, THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR A BASIC OIL CHANGE AND FILTER AT 3,600 MILES. ON JANUARY 2, 2007, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR BASIC MAINTENANCE, IN WHICH THE CONTACT REQUESTED A TIRE ROTATION BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE WEARING VERY QUICKLY. HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIRES WERE ROTATED, BALANCED, AND THAT THE OIL WAS CHANGED. TWO MONTHS LATER, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TIRES CONTINUED TO WEAR VERY QUICKLY AND THE BRAKES WERE NOT STOPPING THE VEHICLE PROPERLY. HE WENT TO A LOCAL TIRE STORE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIRES WERE PLACED ON THE VEHICLE INCORRECTLY AND THAT TWO DIFFERENT SIZED TIRES SHOULD HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. THE CONTACT RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE NEW TIRES AND BRAKES. THEY PROVIDED THE TIRES AND NEW FRONT BRAKES, BUT NO REAR BRAKES. THE DEALER ALSO FAILED TO REPAIR A RATTLING NOISE IN THE FAN UNDER THE HOOD; HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT. CURRENTLY, THE BRAKES LOCK SOMETIMES AND THE FAN STILL MAKES A NOISE AS IF LEAVES AND STICKS ARE UNDER THE HOOD. THE CONTACT HAS A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY, BUT WAS ADVISED TO TAKE HIS VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,044. UPDATED 01-16-08. *KB UPDATED *JB

FAILURE OF THE ANTILOCK BRAKES AND POWER STEERING RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE ANOTHER VEHICLE GOT HIT FROM BEHIND. THE GAUGE CLUSTER DIED UPON IMPACT. THIS WAS A RENTAL CAR FROM ENTERPRISE AND THE CUSTOMER BEFORE HAD JUST TURNED IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE SHE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES AND STEERING. ENTERPRISE REFUSED TO DOCUMENT THE INCIDENT AS PER THAT CUSTOMER AND THEN PROCEEDED TO GIVE THE VEHICLE TO MY SON FIVE MINUTES LATER. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR ABS CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE ISSUES THAT MAY CAUSE REAR BRAKES TO LOCK UP. CHRYSLER SAYS THAT NOT THIS VIN NUMBER. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 4 MONTHS NOW AND HAVE ALREADY HAD THE ROTORS CUT AND THE PADS REPLACED. THE SQUEALING WAS MORE THAN A NUISANCE AND THE ROTORS WOULD OVERHEAT AND WARP. I HAD THIS WORK DONE AT 8200 MILES. I NOW HAVE 9800 MILES AND THE PADS ARE ALREADY MAKING NOISE AND THE ROTORS OVERHEAT AFTER SEMI HARD BRAKING. *JB
