2012 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHORTED TWICE WHILE DRIVING. AUTO PARK DISABLED MESSAGE CAME ON, TOUCH SCREEN WENT ALL WHITE THEN CUT OFF, SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE FLUTTERING. HAPPENED TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY DURING 4 MILE STRETCH.

SO, I'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRIC P/S PUMP WITH IT MAKING GRINDING NOISES AS I TURN AND LOCKING UP. I DID END UP REPLACING IT BECAUSE THE DEALER NEAR ME NEGLECTED TO TELL ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME TO FIX IT. THE PUMP I REPLACED IT WITH IS STARTING TO DO IT AGAIN... I WANT IT REPLACED WITH A BRAND NEW OEM PUMP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DOGE CHARGER. AFTER THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY, IT BEGAN TO ROLL AWAY AS THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE SHOVELING SNOW, THE VEHICLE MOVED BACKWARDS WHILE THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN PARK. THE CONTACT JUMPED IN THE VEHICLE AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,919.

POWER STEERING FAILS, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER HARD TURNS. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO GO OFF THE ROAD AND NEARLY WRECK/STRIKE OTHER CARS. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN THESE CARS. IT OCCURS AT CITY AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT'S HARD TO STEER AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS.

THIRD TIME CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB AND THE WIRES FOR MY HEADLIGHT (LOW BEAM) AND STILL HAVING PROBLEMS, FEW FRIENDS OF MINE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. LOW BEAM GOES OFF WHILE DRIVING.

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE WIPERS WENT ON WITHOUT ME TURNING THEM ON. THEY CONSTANTLY STAY ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ON UNLESS I PULL THE RELAY OUT. THE TURN SIGNAL/WIPER CONTROL SWITCH DOES NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THEM BEING ON/OFF, THE SPEED, AND THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 DODGE CHARGER WHEN MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND RUNNING ROUGH. I TOOK THE CAR TO AUTO ZONE FOR DIAGNOSTIC WHICH STATED THAT PO303 MISFIRED 3 TIMES. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHICH CHANGED OUT MY SPARK PLUG AND COIL WHICH WENT AWAY FOR A FEW MINUTES BUT ENGINE LIGHT RETURNED AND FLASHED WITH SAME REACTION. I RETURNED BACK TO THE MECHANIC WHICH HAD TO DIG DEEPER OF WHAT WAS CAUSING THE SPARK PLUG AND COIL TO MISFIRE AND FOUND IT WAS THE LIFTER. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE MANY DODGE CHARGERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND DO NOT FEEL THAT WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR CHRYSLER/DODGE ERROR/PROBLEM AND I AM PLEADING THAT THIS BECOMES A RECALL FOR CHRYSLER TO OWN UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AS THEY KNOW THAT IT IS AN ISSUE AS THEY ARE MAKING SURE THEIR NEWER CHARGERS DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING ONCE IT STRUCK A CURB. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTERWARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SWANTY'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF BULLHEAD CITY (LOCATED AT 2494 AZ-95, BULLHEAD CITY, AZ 86442, (928) 704-2222) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,097.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG SENSOR INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CROSSROADS CHRYSLER (4510 WHITEHILL BLVD, PRINCE GEORGE, VA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG WIRE HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

1.THE WIRING TO THE HEADLIGHTS KEEPS BURNING INTO AND IT HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE ALREADY. 2. THE RADIO DOESN'T COME ON WHEN I START THE CAR; I HAVE TO SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART IT SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES TO GET EVERYTHING CONNECTED. 3. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY CAR ALIGNED 4 TIMES IN 9 MONTHS AND BOUGHT 2 SETS OF TIRES BECAUSE IT WILL NOT KEEP THE ALIGNMENT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR AND THE RADIO AND LIGHTS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MUCH LONGER. WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS?
