2014 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

2014 DODGE CHARGER WITH PENTASTAR V6 DEVELOPED LIFTER TAPPING AND CAM DAMAGE AT 117,000 MILES. ENGINE HAS HAD MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BEFORE OWNERS MANUAL GUIDELINES. WHEN ARRIVING HOME FROM WORK A LOUD TICKING SOUND WAS HEARD AND AT THAT TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TOWED TO DEALER WHO STATED THE CAMS WERE DAMAGED WHEN LIFTERS CAME LOOSE.

WHEN DRIVING AND ACCELERAING LOST POWER TO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND POWWR STEERING.

MY STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THE SAME DAY I WENT UP A STEEP DRIVEWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AS MY TIRES SLIPPED ON SOME SAND BUT THE LIGHT TURNED RIGHT OFF. THIS TIME IT HAS STAYED ON AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE MULTI-AXIS ACCELERATION SENSOR (AKA DYNAMIC SENSOR) INTERNAL FAILURE. FIRESTONE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PART GOING OUT NOR HAS MY MECHANIC. I AM HOPING SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THIS PART GETS RECALLED AS I DO BELIEVE THE STEEP DRIVEWAY CAUSED THIS ISSUE WHICH SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I AM ABLE TO STILL DRIVE MY CAR BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOW DISABLED AS THE CAR THINKS THE CAR CAN BE UNSTABLE/UNSAFE IN CRUISE CONTROL MODE.

ALL CARS TO DATE HAVE SAME PROBEMS LIFTERS WILL GO OUT, INTAKE MANFOLD WILL SUCK OIL INTO THE AIR CHAMBER, SEALS REPLACEMENT WILL NOT FIX. CAR HAS HUGE ELEC PROBEM, CAR PUT TOGATHER IN SECTIONS SO THERE NO SOLD GROUND, SO ALL GROUNDING POINTS WILL FAIL. WITH 60K MILES I HAD REBUILD DRIVE TRAIN TRASFER CASE TWO AXLES FAILED, CAR SUFFERS FROM COMPUTER REBOOTING WICH FOR JUST SEC EVERYTHING RESET, AWD SYSTEM HAS PROGRAMING PROBEMS, THE MOTOR WILL FAIL AFTER WARENTY, THESE CARS WAS MENT TO BREAK DOWN, THEY MENT TO HAVE PROBEMS AS NO DEALERSHIP TALKS TO HEADCORDS AS THEY LOSE SO MUCH MONEY TO FIX THESE PROBEMS, I BEEN LIE TO BY ALL DODGE DELEAR SHIPS, PCM MUST BE UPDATED AS IN RECALL ONLY PART PCM WAS UPDATED ALL THE SERVICE BUILTIONS ON IT THEY NEVER FIX, IN FACK THEY TOLD ME TO LEAVE, SO NOW I CANT EVEN GET PCM UPDATED, TO NOTE TWO DELEAR SHIPS I WENT TO NONE IN THE SHOP WAS WAREING MASK NONE OF THEM I MUST ASK WHY THEY PUT MY LIFE AT RISK

CAR STILL ROLLING AFTER COMPLICATED EFFORTS TO EXIT IN AND OUT OF VEHICLE AS THE CAR IS STILL IN GEAR IT KEEPS ON ROLLING. IT TAKES TREMENDOUS EFFORT AND CONCENTRATION OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DANGER WHENEVER EXITING IN AND OUT OF MY CAR. THIS IS PRETTY SCARY.

FIRST MY CAR WOULD NOT DETECT MY KEYS (EVEN AFTER I REPLACED BATTER). WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD RANDOMLY COME ON AND OFF EVEN AFTER GETTING ALL REPAIRS COMPLETED. ONE DAY IT REPEATEDLY FLASHED ON AND OFF AND KEEPS CONSTANTLY. MY CAR WAS ALSO JUMPING AND VIBRATING EXTREMELY HARD AND THE ENGINE WAS TICKING. GOING SLOW OR SLOWING DOWN, MY CAR HAS A HARD TIME TURNING. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND RAN AN DIAGNOSTICS. AFTERWARDS I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING AND WHAT THE DIAGNOSTIC SAID. I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT FIXED. MOREOVER, MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I DO NOT HAVE A RENTAL. THE LAST TIME I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR RECALLS, I WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY RENTALS AND I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE MY OWN. ALSO, THEY NEVER TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL WITH MY BRAKE CHOCKS WEREN'T REPLACED. THE INDIVIDUALS WORKING IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIDN'T ACT REALLY PROFESSIONAL. THEY WERE DEMEANING AND SQUARING ME OF THINGS THAT I DIDN'T DO OR AGREE TO.

SAFETY AUTO PARK FUNCTION IS STILL STICKING EVEN AFTER THE RECALL REPLACEMENT- THE DEALER SAYS THE ONLY DO FOLLOW UP REPAIRS ON RECALLS 2 YEARS AFTER THE REPLACEMENT. I UNDERSTAND THE TIMEFRAME IS 10 YEARS NOT 2 BUT THEY WILL NOT HONOR
