2012 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

POWER STEERING FUSES KEEP BLOWING WHEN TURNING, WHICH CAUSING IT TO BE VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING. ALMOST CAUSE AN ACCIDENT .

MY ALTERNATOR OR STARTER WENT OUT MY CAR STOPPED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER WHEN I TRY TO START. I HAD TO GET A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO MY HOME. ALSO THE FRONT HEADLIGHT HARNESS BURNT OUT AND I HAD TO PUT ANOTHER OBE WHICH DOES NOT WORK SOMETIMES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE IN FRONT SUDDENLY STOPPED AND REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AS THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY TO PURCHASING AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKES WERE JUST SERVICED AS THE REASON FOR THE BRAKES BEING SLOW TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DURING THE TEST DRIVE THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION REPAIR SHOP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE SUSTAINED BRUISING ON THE REAR OF THE LEG THAT REQUIRED NO MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THE ALL RECALLS HAD BEEN COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V197000 (SERVICE BRAKES, AIR, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AS A CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER INFORMED HIM THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY USED AS AN UNDERCOVER POLICE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

I WAS DRIIVNG ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY CAR SHUT OFF BY ITSELF. I TRIED TO RESTART BUT NO LUCK. I FOUND OUT THAT THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE OFF. I KNOW THERES BEEN RECALL ON THE TIMING CHAIN BEFORE.

ENGINE MAKES A WEIRD NOISE WHEN YOU TURN IT ON AND HAVE IT RUNNING SORTA SOUNDS LIKE A TRUCK. BRAKES DON'T WORK SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA STEP ON THE BREAK PETAL ALL THE WAY IN IF NOT YOU COULD POSSIBLY CRASH OR HIT ANOTHER CAR PARKED NEAR BY. THE CONTROL ARMS GET STOCK A BIT WHEN DOING A TURN ON 25MPH-30MPH

I BOUGHT A USED 2012 DODGE CHARGER AND HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT BY BIG O TIRES PRIOR TO PURCHASE. A FEW DAYS LATER, MY HUSBAND WAS STUCK AT THE GAS STATION BECAUSE THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN VARIOUS PLACES AND WEATHER CONDITIONS AND THE DEALER CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. THE BRAKE SWITCH IS GOOD, WE HAD THE WHOLE GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY REPLACED AND STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. UPON WATCHING YOU TUBE VIDEOS, IT MUST BE THE TRANSMISSION INTERLOCK SWITCH (THE INFAMOUS PINK PLASTIC PIECE) THAT DODGE/CHRYSLER OWNERS ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH. THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2005-07 DODGE CHARGERS TO REPLACE THE PINK TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH THAT BREAKS AND PREVENTS VEHICLES FROM SHIFTING OUT OF PARK. MY 2012 AND MANY VEHICLES AFTER 2007 ARE ALSO AFFECTED. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE DEALER TO REPLACE THIS PART. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THIS RECALL TO BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE MODEL YEARS AFTER 2007, TO INCLUDE MY 2012 CHARGER.

VEHICLE TRUNK OPENS ON IT'S OWN WHEN YOU FIRST START VEHICLE. THIS ALSO DRAINS THE BATTERY. TRUNK OPENS ELECTRICALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.

FUEL LEAK FROM PASSENGER SIDE FUEL PUMP. AFTER FUELING VEHICLE. AND FUEL SMELL IN VEHICLE. I JUST HOPE NO ONE SMOKES NEXT TO MY CAR. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE THIS IS A ON GOING PROBLEM. DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR GOOD.
