2014 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

CAR HAS CHALLENGES STOPPING SAFELY AND THE SUSPENSION IS SECURED PROPERLY. EVEN AFTER INSPECTION STILL NO SATISFACTORY CONDITION

ON 9/21/2020, MY CAR HAD AND PASSED A STATE & EMISSION INSPECTION. MY CAR WAS DRIVEN 200 MILES FROM DATE OF INSPECTION TO CURRENT DATE. WHEN I STARTED MY CAR THE "SERVICE AWD, ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON IN PARK." TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 10/26/2020, THEY SAID IT WAS THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND ASKED, IF I MIGHT HAVE HIT A POTHOLE OR BUMPS ON THE ROAD. I WAS IN DISBELIEF, BECAUSE I ONLY DRIVE ON SMOOTH ROADS AND MY CAR IS BARELY MOVED. I'VE PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW ON 9/19/2014 AND SIX YEARS LATER, MY MILEAGE IS AT 26,420. FROM NUMEROUS THREADS, POSTS AND COMPLAINTS, I'M SEEING A CONCURRENT PROBLEM WITH DODGE VEHICLES IN THIS MANNER. I STRONGLY BELIEVE YOU SHOULD LOOK DEEPLY INTO THIS MATTER, BECAUSE IT'S TOO COMMON AND COSTLY. CAR: 2014 DODGE CHARGE R/T AWD.

THE PANELS ON THE DOORS ARE WARPING AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS AND THE PANELS ON EACH SIDE OF THE SHIFTING CONSOLE ARE ALSO WARPED OUT. IT WILL CREATE A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE DOOR PANELS PREVENT THE AIRBAGS FROM DEPLOYING OR THE CONSOLES COME OFF PREVENTING A SAFE DRIVER OR THE PANELS GET UNDER THE LEGDS OR PREVENT THE DRIVER FROM SAFELY REACHING GAS PEDDLE.

MY POWERSTEERING PUMP AND ALTERNATOR WENT OUT ON MY 2014 WHILE I WAS DRIVING THANK GOD KNOW ACCIDENT OCCURRED HAD IT TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY PUT BOTH PARTS BRAND NEW 10 DAYS LATER IT GONE BACK OUT HAD TO HAVE IT TOW BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP

THE OIL COOLER HAS CRACKED CAUSING OIL TO LEAK WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY CAUSING NEARING $800.00 TO REPAIR.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE CITY STREET AND AS I WENT TO TURN THE CORNER THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. IT TOOK ALL MY STRENGTH AND CAREFUL BRAKING NOT TO HIT THE CAR IN THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND THEY TELL ME THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS OUT. AFTER DOING A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE I FIND THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE. IT IS SO COMMON OF AN ISSUE THAT DODGE IS IN SHORT SUPPLY OF NEW POWER STEERING PUMPS WITH ONLY LIKE 3 IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 58 MPH AND POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETY OUT! NO WARNING AT ALL! DASH LIGHTS WENT CRAZY. WARNING LIGHTS: SERVICE SHIFTER, SERVICE POWER STEERING, AUTO PARK DISABLED, CHECK ENGINE, THEN DASH LIGHTS STARTED BLACKING COMPLETELY OUT. VERY DANGEROUS! I TOOK TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAYS THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAS BEEN FIRED. AFTER READING THE ALTENATOR RECALL, THIA EXPLAINED EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED! ALL RECALLS HAVE BEEN FIXED ON THIS VEHICLE. AFTER CONTACTING LOCAL DEALERSHIPS I LEARNED THAT THERE ARE 89 PEOPLE JUST IN MY AREA NEEDING THIS SAME PUMP AND IT IS ON BACK ORDER. THIS TELLS ME THAT THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! NOW $1800 TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH ALTENATOR RECALL COMPLETED. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR, CANT DRIVE,CANT AFFORD TO FIX, AND WONT SELL TO SOMEONE ELSE KNOWING HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. I CANT IMAGINE THAT WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS NOT AN ALL CONSUMING ISSUE AND PUTS MANY LIVES AT RISK

BACKING OUT OF PARKING PLACE POWER STEERING LIGHTS LIT UP ON DASH, CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED, HAD I BEEN ON THE ROAD WOULD HAVE CAUSED A TERRIBLE CRASH. HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED.
