2012 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

WHENEVER I TRY AND TURN MY STEERING WHEEL IT IS VERY HARD HAVE TO USE ALOT OF KUSCLE. DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE STOPPED TRYING TO TURN OR GOING AN AVERAGE SPEED. IT IS WORSE WHEN NOT AT A COMPLETE STOP.

I WAS IN EL PASO TEXAS BECAUSE MY FATHER WAS IN THE HOSPITAL WHEN I ROLLED DOWN MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IT WOULDN'T GO BACK UP. THERE'S NO FURTHER DETAILS AS TO WHY IT WON'T GO BACK UP THAT'S ALL I DID WAS ROLL IT DOWN. AND EVERY SINCE THAT DAY AT LEAST ONCE A DAY WHEN I'M TURNING OR SLOWING DOWN THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY TURN OFF AND GO INTO AUTO PARK AND LOSE ALL POWER. IT ALSO CONSTANTLY SAYS IT'S GOING AN AUTO PARK WHEN I'M ON THE FREEWAY GOING 75 MILES PER HOUR. ALL OF THE GAUGES WILL GO DOWN TO ZERO AND BACK UP WHEN I'M ON THE FREEWAY AND IT WON'T SHUT OFF AND LOCK UP ON ME BUT IF I'M GOING BELOW 20 MILES AN HOUR IT WILL LOCK UP ON ME. THIS HAPPENS WAY TOO OFTEN I HAVE KIDS AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. BUT NOW MY CAR WILL NOT START AT ALL.

CAR CONTINUES TO RUN HOT. REPALCED THE THERMOSTAT WATER PUMP. HAVE NOT DRIVEN CAR IN 2 MONTHS. AS LONG AS THE CAR IS NOT IN MOTIONIS DOES NOT RUN HOT. AFTER PUTTING MORE FLUIDIN THE CAR, NOW THE DRIP HAS BECOME LEAK. THERE IS A (Z) ELECTRICAL LOOKING SYMBOL ONTHE DASH IN RED. CITY STREET

EVERY NOW AND AGAIN I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR WHEN I'M DRIVING. I CAN JUST BE DRIVING AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW MY CAR WILL GO INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN AND I WILL LITERALLY HAVE TO PULL OVER WHEREVER I'M AT. ONCE I'M PULLED OVER I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND CUT IT OFF. IT WON'T START BACK UP RIGHT AWAY CAUSE THE BRAKE BE FEELING LIKE IT'S LOCKED. AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WILL START BACK UP AND DRIVE LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM BUT IT'S DANGEROUS. MAJORITY OF THE TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS IN CITY LIMITS BUT THIS LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70MPH. *TR

MAY 25 2020, 2012 DODGE CHARGER SE. I WAS PARKING THE VEHICLE IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND TRIED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN TO STRAIGHTEN THE CAR, THE SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND I'M NOT ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IN ANY DIRECTION. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC AND HE CHANGED THE FUSE 4 DIFFERENT TIMES AND IT POPPED ON HIM. NO ONE HAS ANY REMEDIES TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE THAT'S OBVIOUSLY NOW AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH DODGE CHARGERS THROUGHOUT DIFFERENT YEARS AND MODELS. PLEASE HAVE A RECALL PERFORMED FOR THE PARTS NEEDED TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 DODGE CHARGER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A TUNE UP WAS NEEDED. SO I PAID MONEY FOR THAT. AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK HOME, I DROVE IT AROUND THE CORNER TO THE GAS STATION AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT THEN FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSING, WENT BACK TO MY MECHANIC, ONLY TO FIND OUT THE LIFTER ON THE CAM SHAFT IS BAD. ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC, AND 3 OTHER CERTIFIED MECHANICS, AND FROM DOING ALL MY RESEARCH, THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY COMMON WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE. I AM USUALLY ALONE WITH A SMALL CHILD TO TRANSPORT AROUND TOWN. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY! I WANT TO REMAIN A FAITHFUL CUSTOMER TO DODGE, BUT I'M SURE THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS VERY COMMON PROBLEM. IF THEY DON'T RECALL THIS, I WILL NOT EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER DODGE VEHICLE AGAIN. TO DATE, I HAVE OWNED 4 OF THEM.

ON APRIL OF 2018, MY CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON . I NOTICED MY CAR BARELY TAKING OFF AS I INCLINE A HILL OR MAKE A SUDDEN STOP. AFTER OBSERVING HOW MY CAR WAS DRIVING SUDDENLY SLOW, I THEN TOOK IT TO LANDMARK DODGE IN MORROW,GA.FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE CODE GIVEN WAS P06DD(DEALERS CODE). I HAD TO GATHER UP 2500.00 TO GET (VALVE BODY WORK) DONE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED OFF UNTIL OCTOBER 2019 WHERE I TOOK MY CAR TO AUTO ZONE FOR A FREE DIAGNOSTIC, BUT TO MY SURPRISE IT GAVE THE SAME CODE. I WORK BACK AND FORTH OUT OF TOWN SO THEREFORE I DIDN'T MAKE IT BACK IN TIME TO GET IT REINSPECTED AGAIN FOR THAT CODE. RECENTLY ON APRIL 1ST.MY CAR STALLED AND ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON INCLUDING WINDSHIELD WIPERS. I DO NOTICED FURTHER AHEAD A WEEK LATER THAT WHEN EVER I RUN OVER A POT HOLE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD IT DOES IT MORE OFTEN. AS OF NOW, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND MY CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STILL IS FAILING. I'VE OWNED MY CAR FOR 7 1/2 YEARS NOW AND DO PLAN ON KEEPING IT AROUND FOR AT LEAST 10 MORE YEARS. THE CAR RUNS GREAT AND IS GOOD ON GAS. THANKS *TR

I HAVE AN ENGINE LIGHT TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC, THE OIL SENSOR WAS CHANGED 2 TIMES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS DELETED TWICE AND STILL COME BACK ON, AS RESULT I CANT USE THE REMOTE STARTED AND EVEN THE DEALER DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. AM I THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE>? *TR

MY CAR TURNED OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. IT WAS THE STARTER THAT WENT OUT AND THE ALTERNATOR.
