2011 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

MY VEHICLE IS HAVING ALL OF THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE P08 RECALL. MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY GO OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. COMPLETELY DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE THIS WAY. FACTORY SAYS MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT YOU CLEARLY MISSED DIAGNOSED WHAT VEHICLES WERE EFFECTED AS MINE IS. PLEASE HELP!

I GAVE THE CAR FUEL THROTTLE AND IT STALLED THEN DIED ON THE FREEWAY. AFTER BEING STRUCK BY ANOTHER CAR FROM BEHIND, THE CAR STARTED FINE AND STILL RUNS PERFECT. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY RESEARCH SUGGEST THE PCM ON THESE CARS ARE FAULTY.

WHEN I START THE VEHICLE, THE LOW BEAMS WORK NORMALLY. WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF LIGHTS BEING ON, WHETHER IDLE OR DURING DRIVING, THEY WILL TURN OFF ON THERE OWN. I AM THEN FORCED TO USE HIGH BEAMS IN ORDER TO HAVE LIGHTING AT NIGHT.

AT FIRST I WAS UNABLE TO CALL OUT THROUGH MY CARS BLUETOOTH, BUT IF I USED MY PHONE TO CALL OUT I COULD HEAR AND SPEAK THROUGH MY CAR. HOWEVER THIS DID NOT LAST LONG SINCE THE SPEAKERS QUIT WORKING. A LOUD CLICKING STARTED IN MY DASH. THE RADIO TURNS ON BUT NO SOUND. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I COULD NOT START MY CAR AFTER GOGGLING THE ISSUE I FOUND THAT OTHERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND SAID THAT IF YOU TAKE THE REMOTE ITSELF TO PUSH THE START BUTTON THEIR CAR STARTED. I TRIED THIS AND AT THIS TIME MY CAR WILL START THIS WAY. ALSO MY TRUNK JUST OPENS ON IT'S OWN. THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY. I CALLED DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT A RECALL. I'M A DISABLED PERSON, AND I NEED MY CAR TO GET TO AND FROM DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS. I DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF MONEY AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY TO GET THESE ISSUES FIXED. I FEEL THAT SINCE THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE W OATH THE SAME ISSUES THAT THESE THINGS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND CUSTOMERS HAVE THEIR VEHICLES TAKEN CARE OF. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. DONNA [XXX] THESE THINGS HAPPENED OVER TIME SO I HAVE NO CERTAIN DATES. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

NOTICED GAS SMELL IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING GAS TANK COMPLETELY UP. A COUPLE DAYS LATER I HAD A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL INSIDE VEHICLE AND WHILE DRIVING. STARTED NOTICING THAT THERE WAS A MODERATE SIZE PUDDLE UNDER VEHICLE WHERE THE REAR SEAT IS. I'VE SEEN MANY REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING AND IT DISTURBS ME THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL.

PASSENGER SIDE FUEL PUMP LEAKING ON TOP OF TANK. WITH INTERNET RESEARCH FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO POOR QUALITY PLASTIC CRACKING. CONTACT A DEALER NOT UNDER RECALL.
