ENGINE SPUTTERS WHILE IDLE. I CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 2500-3000 MILES, ALONG WITH ENGINE AIR FILTER AND SPARK PLUG CHANGE AT 36,000. WHILE IDLE, ONCE IN A WHILE THE ENGINE WILL SPUTTER. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE (CND) THE PROBLEM, THEREFORE THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER THEY ASKED IF I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. I LOVED THE RT WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED IT. NOW! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO PURCHASE IT. ENGINE SPUTTERS, SIDE WINDOW IS SCRATCHED DUE TO MECHANISM, ROTOR ARE WARPED, AND OF COURSE THE SHIFTER STUCK IN PARK, AND THE ABS LIGHT IS NOW. ALL OF WHICH CHRYSLER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE FOR MY VIN, BUT HAVE A RECALL ON OTHERS. HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT? LET US CONTINUE TO SUBMIT OUR COMPLAINTS AND HOPEFULLY NO ONE WILL BE INJURED. AND MAYBE CHRYSLER WILL PAY FOR THEIR PROBLEMS. STARTING TO HATE MY HOT RED RT! *TR

I HAD JUST LEFT MY RESIDENCE TO TRAVEL TO WORK IN MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER, 2.7L V6, I HAD MADE IT 6 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE WHEN MY ENGINE BLEW. THE TEMP GAGE NEVER SHOWED THERE WAS ANY KIND OF OVERHEATING PROBLEM. THE CHECK OIL LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND TURNED OFF. A FEW MINUTES LATER IT CAME ON AGAIN AND PUFF OF WHITE SMOKE CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE MOTOR SEIZED. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THAT THE 2.7 LITER DODGE/CHRYSLER MOTOR HAS HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH OIL SLUDGE ISSUES THAT WOULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SEIZE. SO FAR CHRYSLER HAS NOT TAKEN ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE 2.7L ENGINE. THE BOTTOM END OF THE MOTOR HAS TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT THE WARRANTY COMPANY IS BLAMING ME FOR THE MECHANICAL FAILURE OF THE OIL FILTER SEAL ON THE ENGINE. *TR

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR IN MAY 2007, MY CAR'S ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING ON THE HIGHWAY. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED UP AND DIDN'T HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. I DID REPORT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP DURING MY SECOND OIL CHANGE. THEY SAID THAT SINCE IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. NOW, AT ABOUT 95,000 MILES ITS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY, ABOUT TWICE A DAY. NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER TEST AND NOTHING CAME UP. WE ALSO WENT FOR A TEST DRIVE, BUT IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN THE TECHNICIAN WAS WITH ME. I FEEL THAT I WILL EVENTUALLY GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. OUR FAMILY RELIES ON THIS CAR AND I AM WORRIED THAT SOMETHING HORRIBLE COULD HAPPEN. I HAVE VISITED DIFFERENT FORUMS AND OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DEFECT DUE TO THE FACT THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO SEEN COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO USE THIS CAR, BUT ALSO FEEL THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

PEBBLES OR DEBRIS HAS ENTERED THE LOWER COOLING VALANCE ON MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER IS TO WIDE, WHICH ALLOWS ANY AND ALL DEBRIS TO DAMAGE THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER. WHICH DODGE DOES NOT COVER OR RECOGNIZE AS A DESIGN FLAW. THE A/C CONDENSER IS EXPOSED TO ANY AND ALL OBJECTS COMING THROUGH THAT PARTICULAR AREA. THE 3 LBS OF FREON RELEASED TO THE ATMOSPHERE, WHICH WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION THE FREON WILL GO THROUGH ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND EVENTUALLY END UP IN THE PASSENGER AREA. FREON IS A OXYGEN DISPLACEMENT TYPE GAS WHICH CAN CAUSE SICKNESS, VOMITING,HYPOXIO AND EVENTUALLY SUFFOCATION. THIS IS A POSSIBLE SAFETY HAZARD.
