2007 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

I PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE CHARGER DAYTONA OVER THREE MONTHS AGO. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ITS FIRST OIL CHANGE. SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED IT WITH 70 MILES ON IT, THE BRAKES HAVE SQUEALED BADLY. I TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT IT AND THEY WERE GOING TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY CALLED ME TO SAY THAT THEY COULD NOT HEAR ANY NOISE, BUT IF THERE WAS A SQUEAL IT IS TYPICAL ON ALL CHARGER DAYTONA'S. IT IS SOMETHING I JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR I DROVE IT 100 FEET AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. A LOUD SQUEAL CAME FROM THE BRAKES, BUT THEY STILL REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHY IS THIS? WHY DON'T THEY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT? *JB

LOUD AND CONSISTENT SQUEALING OF FRONT BRAKES SINCE PURCHASE DATE IN FEBRUARY 07. REPORTED TO DEALER AT BOTH OIL CHANGES AND NOTHING DONE. *JB

SHIMMY AT 73-80 MPH VISABLE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND SHIMMYS AT 73MPH CAR WAS AT DEALER FOR PROBLEM AND THE DEALER REBALANCED THE WHEELS. NO EFFECT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. CAR WAS RETURNED TO ANOTHER DEALER AND WHEELS WERE ROTATED. NO EFFECT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS HAVE SAME PROBLEMS WITH SRT/8 MODELS. REMIDIES HAVE BEEN REPLACING TIE ROD ENDS, WHEEL BEARINGS, ROAD FORCE BALANCE OF WHEELS AND REPLACEMENT OF STEERING RACK. THERE NEEDS TO BE A TSB FOR THIS PROBLEM.

2007 DODGE CHARGER WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS CUSTOMER STATES THAT THE CAR WAS SERVICED FOUR TIMES AND HE BELIEVES THAT IT IS A LEMON**CC THE CONSUMER COMPLAINED THAT THE BRAKES WERE VERY SQUEAKY. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE BRAKE PADS HAD RECENTLY BEEN UPDATED AND AN ORDER WOULD HAVE TO PLACED FOR THE NEWER VERSION. THE CONSUMER CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES AFTER THE UPDATE OF THE BRAKES. *JB

REAR BRAKES ON 2007 DODGE CHARGER (17144 MILE, MAINLY HWY) GROOVED CONSISTENTLY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. DEALER CHECKED AND THE ONLY EXPLANATION THEY WOULD GIVE ME WAS THAT I LIVE ON A GRAVEL ROAD AND THAT ROCKS ARE CAUSING THIS. APPARENTLY IF YOU LIVE OR ARE GOING TO DRIVE ON A GRAVEL ROAD YOU CAN'T OWN A CHARGER. BOTH THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE TURNED THIS DOWN AS A WARRANTY ITEM. DEALER STATED ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED BUT WITHOUT GIVING ME A SOLUTION AS TO PREVENTING THIS PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE. THE GROOVES IN THE ROTOR ARE ABOUT 1/8 OF AN INCH. THIS WOULD TAKE ABOUT 40 ROCKS PERFECTLY LINED UP ON EACH OF THE REAR BRAKES. IMPOSSIBLE. I AM BE GIVEN THE RUN AROUND AND WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE POSSIBLE. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT HAS OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR ONLY TWO MONTHS AND IT HAS ALREADY BEEN IN THE SHOP THREE TIMES. HE STATED THAT THE ENGINE MAKES A NOISE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IDLE. THE PCV VALVE WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. APPROXIMATELY TWO DAYS LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE POPPING AND SQUEALING. THE BRAKES WERE REPAIRED, BUT THE ENGINE NOISE CONTINUED. THE MECHANIC COMPARED THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND CONFIRMED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING FAILURE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS PRESENT. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 6,333 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

WITH ONLY 95 (BRAND NEW) MILES THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING WHEN APPLY BREAKS OVER 50 MPH.IT SEEM LIKE BADLY WARPED ROTORS. SEND A E MAIL TO DODGE DID.T SEEM TO CARE. THE DEALER SAID THEY WILL FIX IT, I MET ANOTHER OWNER WITH SAME PROBLEM.THIS A EXPENSIVE CAR , THE VEHICAL MWY BE FORED TO FIX THIS PROBLEMS.

2007 DODGE CHARGER R/T ROAD & TRACK PACKAGE(HD BRAKES) MY VEHICLE HAS 3500 MILES FROM WHEN I PURCHASED IT NEW AND HAS EXCESSIVE BRAKE NOISE AND POSSIBLE FRONT BRAKE DAMAGE DUE TO GROOVING/WARPING OF THE ROTORS. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE LOCAL DEALER IN MY AREA AS TO THE PROBLEM AND A POSSIBLE PERMANENT FIX WITH TSB 05-001-07. THE DEALER HAS STATED I'VE BEEN DECLINED FOR THIS TSB AND ALL THAT CAN BE DONE UNDER WARRANTY IS A TEMPORARY FIX OF REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS WITH THE SAME LIKENESS AND RE-CUT THE ROTORS. THIS SHOULD NOT EVEN BE AN OPTION FOR A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH ONLY 3500 CAREFULL MILES. THE MANUFACTUER IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN THEIR BRAKING SYSTEMS AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THIS, THAT I AM AWARE OF. AS I STATED, TSB 05-001-07 WAS DENIED FOR MY VEHICLE DUE TO A "SALES CODE" THAT DOES NOT MATCH. MY VEHICLE HAS THIS HEAVY DUTY BRAKE SYSTEM STATED IN THE TSB, BUT DO TO "LIABILITY" WILL NOT BE DONE. I HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL VEHICLE OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS I HAVE, AND ALL ARE JUST AS FRUSTRATED AS I AM TO HAVE A NEW VEHICLE WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE DEALER THEN STATED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND HOPE SOMETHING "COMES OUT" BEFORE THE 12,000 MILE WARRANTY IS UP. THANK YOU!

TL*- CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER, AND STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 12 MPH HE PRESSED ON THE BRAKES 20 FEET BEFORE GETTING TO A STOP SIGN, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO DRIVE, AND SIDE SWIPED ANOTHER VEHICLE AT 12 MPH, WHICH FINALLY CAUSED THE 2007 DODGE CHARGER TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS AT 5,038 MILES. *AK UPDATE 05/10/07*TR

I BOUGHT MY CHARGER ON 11/03/06 WITH 13 MILES ON IT. AT 900 MILES THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID AN O2 SENSOR WAS BAD, THEY REPLACED IT. THEN AT 980 MILES THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. IT WAS THE SAME SENSOR, AND THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 3 DAYS. THE DEALER SAID EVERYTHING WAS GOOD TO GO. THEN ON DECEMBER 27TH THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND NOW THEY SAY IT NEEDS SOFTWARE FOR THE COMPUTER FOR THE ENGINE. CURRENTLY I AM WAITING FOR THEM TO CALL ME WHEN THE PART COMES IN. THEY SAID IT IS O.K TO DRIVE TIL THEN.......THE DEALER HAS BEEN VERY NICE ABOUT THIS ,THEY HAVE BEEN DOING A VERY GOOD JOB. I JUST FEEL A BRAND NEW CAR SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS AND I'M LOOKING INTO THE LEMON LAW.
