2010 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

THE TIRE TRACKSON LIGHT CAME ON IN 2014 I HAVE HAD A SET OF NEW TIRES PUT ON TWICE AND GET THE OIL AND TIRES ROTATING EVERY 4 MONTHS AND THE LIGHT HAS YET TO GO OFF AND THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHY THE LIGHT IS STAYING ON AND SAYS LOW TIRE PRESSURE. I AM REALLY SCARED TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THE WHEELS TO LOCK OR SOMETHING ELSE AND CAUSES ME A BAD ACCIDENT, SO I REALLY DON'T DRIVE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THAT, SO COULD YOU PLEASE LOOK OFF INTO IT AND LET ME AND OTHERS KNOW IF IT'S ANY DANGER TO IT. THANKS

THE PCM - POWER-TRAIN CONTROL MODULE FAIL, CAUSING THE MOTOR TO ROCK AND JERK PERFIDIOUSLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE AS IF YOUR TIRE ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS ON A FLAT AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. CAN STOP ARE STALL OUT AT ANYTIME WITH OUT YOU BEING AWARE. IT HAPPEN WHILE IN MOTION AND TRYING TO PARK IT.

ALTERNATOR/BATTERY/ELECTRICAL. HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH BATTERY FOR YEARS. CONSTANTLY HAVE HAD BATTERIES REPLACED AND/OR TESTED AND RECHARGED. PURCHASED THE CAR FROM DEALERSHIP 12/11. LAST BATTERY REPLACEMENT AUGUST 2017. OCTOBER 2017 HAVE HAD THREE JUMP STARTS. 10/14/17 RECEIVED A JUMP START AND WAS DRIVING THE 20 MINUTES TO RECHARGE BATTERY THINKING IT WAS THE BATTERY ISSUE AGAIN. CAR BEGAN MAKING NOISE SO PARKED IT AND LIFTED HOOD TO CHECK THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. NOISE GOT LOUDER AND THEN GOT BACK IN THE CAR. CAR BEGAN MAKING NOISES AGAIN AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR ENGINE TURNED OFF AND WOULDN'T TURN BACK OVER. LUCKILY MADE IT BACK TO A PARKING GARAGE. CONTACTED CHRYSLER ON 10/15/17. CAR MANUFACTURED 8/10 WHICH IS DURING THEIR RECALL PERIOD FOR VEHICLES WITH ALTERNATOR ISSUES. THEY ADVISED I GO TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE CAR INSPECTED AND FOLLOW UP WITH THEM.

CAR SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE GOING DOWN INTERSTATE 70 MILES AND HOUR LEFT LANE PASSING TRAFFIC, NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES. THANKFULLY A TRUCKER SAW MY DISTRESS AND LET ME OVER TO GET OFF INTERSTATE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND BODILY INJURY AS AIR BAGS WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED EITHER. WOULD NOT RESTART HAD TO HAVE TOWED, STARTER REPLACED, NOT THE ISSUE. UPON RESEARCH IT APPEARS THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH SEVERAL CHARGERS AND OTHER MODELS PRODUCED BY CHRYSLER. APPEARS TO BE A WIN MODULE ISSUE BUT NO RECALLS ONLY FOR THE T& C . WIN MODULE IS BEING REPLACED AT A HEARTY PRICE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO THIS SITUATION AS THE WIN MODULE IS BEING USED IN NEWER MODELS. AND THIS RANDOM SHUTTING OFF IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE PUT APPEARS TO JUST KEEP GETTING PUSHED ASIDE. WILL HAVE REPAIR BILLS AVAILABLE ONCE COMPLETED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, THERE WAS AN ODOR OF BURNING WIRES THAT EMITTED INTO THE VENTS OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD AND FROM THE ALTERNATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE ABS AND THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS OR SO AGO I HAD TO REPLACE MY BATTERY BECAUSE IT WAS "TOO WEAK" FOR MY CAR. I DID SO AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO WHEN I TRIED STARTING MY CAR AND IT TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES FOR ME TO FINALLY START IT, IT WAS STATIONARY. I CAME HOME WITH MY EYES STINGING AND SWOLLEN AND THIS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN THE CAR. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I REALIZED THE BATTERY BLEW UP AND THERE WAS BATTERY ACID ALL OVER MY TRUNK. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF IT WAS COMMON AND I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL FORUMS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR BATTERIES BLOWING UP. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR ITSELF OR THE BATTERY, BUT I DO THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE BATTERY IS A DURALAST BATTERY.

THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY COVERAGE AND THE RUST ODOR WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER.
