Suspension, Power train, Apr 26, 2016
I'VE HAD MANY ISSUES WRONG WITH MY CAR. THE FIRST COMPLAINT I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS IS HOW THE CAR SHUTS OFF ON ME WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ON BUSY STREETS, MY CAR WILL SHUT OFF, BUT IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP. THIS IS A DANGEROUS HAZARD AND SAFETY CONCERN. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE GRESHAM DODGE (ON NE BURNSIDE) DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE (503-666-2277). I WAS TOLD "IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, BRING IT BACK" THERE WAS NO CONCERN WITH DODGE THAT THEY WERE SENDING A DANGEROUS VEHICLE BACK OUT ON THE ROAD, THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED NOW, NOT LATER. DODGE NEVER SOLVED THAT ISSUE. FURTHERMORE, MY CAR WAS STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION ON THE EVE OF 4-18-16. I TRIED TO GET IT INTO GEAR, WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. I HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK. WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW, I DECIDED TO GOOGLE DODGE CHARGERS STUCK IN PARK. ON YOUTUBE, THERE WERE SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THEY HAD VIDEO OF HOW TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. YOU HAD TO PRY THE COVERING OFF OF THE SHIFTING UNIT. STICK A PEN INSIDE TO MOVE A WIRE AROUND, IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR INTO GEAR. IT WORRIES ME THAT DODGE IS AWARE OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND OTHER ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES, YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO FIX IT. I COULD OF SERIOUSLY BEEN HURT OR SERIOUSLY HURT SOMEONE ELSE WHILE BEING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR JUST SHUTTING OFF. THEY SHOULD BE CONCERNED ENOUGH TO WANT TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT. AS I STATED BEFORE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE WITH OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE VERY SAME ISSUES. I DID FILE A COMPLAINT ON THE BBB WEBSITE, ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE. MY MAIN OBJECTIVE FOR THIS SITE IS TO BRING OUT HOW DANGEROUS IT IS TO OPERATE MY CAR UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, THAT DODGE DID NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT. SOUNDS AS IF THERE ARE TRANSMISSION AND OR ENGINE ISSUES WITH THE CAR THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.

WHEN TRYING TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT OF A GROCERY STORE, MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. NEVER HAVING A SHIFTING ISSUE BEFORE, I WAS IN A PANIC AS TO WHAT TO DO, SINCE I HAD MY CHILDREN WITH ME AND FELT STRANDED. AFTER PAYING TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED TO A SERVICE CENTER, I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE K39 RECALL FROM CHRYSLER, WHICH WAS EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED 6 WEEKS BEFORE THE START DATE FOR THE 2007 MODELS, I'M NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. IT CLEARLY DOESN'T MATTER THAT HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME, BUT ARE STILL HAVING TO PAY $400+ TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE COVERED. AFTER SPENDING 30 MINUTES LISTENING TO A REP AT THE CHRYSLER RECALL CENTER TELL ME HOW OFTEN HE'S HEARD OF THIS COMPLAINT, JUST TO TELL ME THAT I'M S.O.L. IS BEYOND FRUSTRATING! THIS EXPERIENCE HAS TURNED ME OFF FROM BUYING ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT EVER AGAIN!

THIS VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH DOWN THE ROAD SUDDENLY HAD THE BATTERY LIGHT COME ON THEN THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT THEN ALL THE WARNING GAUGES CAME ON AND STARTED BLINKING AS THIS WAS HAPPENING THE VEHICLES ENGINE WAS ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO PAST FIRST GEAR ROAD THE SHOULDER UNTIL I COULD GET SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. SHUT VEHICLE OFF IT SEEMED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WENT TO HAVE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED BOTH WERE FINE. SINCE THEN EVERY FEW DAYS THE BATTERY LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THEN GO OFF AFTER VEHICLE IS RESTARTED. TODAY 2/11/2015 THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO BUCK AROUND 40 MPH THEN STOP IF I ACCELERATED OR DECELERATED. AND AT ONE POINT WHEN IDLING AT A RED LIGHT IT STALLED AND THEN STARTED BACK UP. I HAVE HEARD A LOT OF SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. WE AS THE CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT TO BE MADE TO SHELL OUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR THINGS THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD STAND BEHIND. WE PAY ENOUGH FOR THE CAR TO BEGIN WITH WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY MORE FOR SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT ISOLATED TO ONE OR TWO INCIDENTS. SOME OF THE PARTS THAT ARE RUMORED TO BE THE PROBLEM ARE FCM, TCM, AND ECM. ALL ARE SUPPOSEDLY FIXED WITH A COMPUTER UPDATE. WELL THEN SO BE IT DON'T CHARGE US THE CONSUMER. *TR

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A SHUDDER WHILE STOPPED FOR LIGHTS ON AND OFF FOR YEARS, SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW IN 07. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG (NO CODES) AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE COMPLAINT. THEN IN 2013 IT BEGAN STALLING AT LIGHTS AFTER THE SHUDDER AND SOMETIMES WITHOUT THE SHUDDER. AGAIN LEAVING NO CODES. I'M A ASE CERTIFIED MASTER TECH OF FORTY YEARS. A TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKUP COULD CAUSE IT TO SHUDDER AND STALL, BUT SHOULD LEAVE A CODE. BUT A DEFECTIVE CRANK POSITION OR CAM POSITION SENSOR COULD SHUT IGNTION OFF WITHOUT LEAVING A CODE. THEREFORE, FOR A TOTAL OF $32.50 I CHANGED BOTH SENSORS. IT FIXED BOTH ISSUES FOR 7 OR 8 MONTHS. SUDDENLY, TODAY 12/30/14 IT'S DOING BOTH AGAIN! THERE'S TO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TO IGNORE THE SAFETY ISSUES OF STALLING IN TRAFFIC WHILE STANDING STILL DRIVING 60 MPH.HELP FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!!!!!! THANKS. *JS
