I WAS đRIVING MY CAR WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I PULLED INTO HARDEES PARKING LOT. LOOKED AT THE ODOMETER. CAR TEMPERATURE WAS NORMAL. I TURN THE ENGINE OFF. WAITED A FEW SECONDS WHEN I NOTICED HEAVY WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I GRABBED MY PURSE AND EXITED THE CAR. I CALLED 911 WHILE ON THE PHONE FLAMES STARTED COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. DRIVER SIDE UNDER IN FRONT OF THE TIRE IS WHERE THE FLAMES STARTED. I TOOK A PHOTO

I PURCHASED THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO WITH THE TITLE, JUST HAVING IT AT MY PARENTS HOUSE BECAUSE I HAVE ANOTHER CAR. I DROVE IT BACK TO MEMPHIS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT JERKED, CUT THE CAR OFF TURN IT BACK ON IT DRIVES NO MORE THAN 30 MPH. GOT A READING AT 2 DIFFERENT AUTO ZONES, AND GOT A TUNE UP, OIL CHANGE, AND WIRE COILS THAT GO WITH THE CAR. STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. SO I DRIVE THE CAR BACK TO MY PARENTS HOUSE A HOUR AWAY FROM MEMPHIS AND IT'S GOING SLOW, SO OF COURSE LAW ENFORCEMENT HAD SOME QUESTIONS THAT ALMOST ALLOWED ME TO GET THE CAR TOWED AT THE TIMES WITH THE CORONAVIRUS GOING ON AS WELL.. SO, AFTER I GET MY SLOW CAR OUT THE IMPOUND, I LOOKED ON CARS.COM AND I SEE A PREVIOUS RECALL ON MY CAR THAT I DIDN'T SEE AT THE TIME OR PURCHASE OR HAD ANY IDEA OF, THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE TO LATE TO FIX EVEN THOUGH THESE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS I'M HAVING AT THIS PRESENT MOMENT. MY CAR JERKS BACK WHEN TRYING TO PUT IT IN THE REVERSE OR DRIVE. SO, I GO BACK TO AUTOZONE, IN THE LITTLE TOWN BECAUSE NOW I'M AFRAID TO MOVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF THE DANGER IT'S IN. AUTOZOBE DON'T WANT TO DO THE READING SO I DO IT MYSELF BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO GET INTO PEOPLE CARS AT THIS TIME. SO, KEEP IN MIND I'VE GOT THE WORK DONE TO THE CAR AND I'M COMING BACK TO CONFIRM THAT I DID DO THOSE THINGS. THE MAN WHO WORKED AT AUTOZONE TOLD ME IT WAS SOMETHING WITH MY WIRING, AND TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIND THE PART NEEDED IN THE STORE I SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYES THE SCREEN TURN BLANK. TOOK IT TO DODGE, THEY JUST REPLACE THE AIR BAGS, AND OF COURSE OFFER TO MAKE ME SPEND MONEY. I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PREVIOUS RECALL ON MY CAR AND NO ONE HELPED EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A MAXIMUM 10 YEARS. BUT IF THESE CARS ARE STILL SELLING AND BEING USED THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY TIME FRAME FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE FIXED BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOW UNSAFE AND UNUSABLE, AND THE OWNER OUT OF MONEY.

MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND WAS AT THE STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND HE HIT THE GAS TO GO THE CAR STALLED AND IT STARTED SMOKING FROM UNDER THE TRUNK AND WITHIN SECONDS WAS IN FLAMES. MY SON HAD TO JUMP OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WENT AND TURNED THE FIRE OUT. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHY IT WENT UP IN FIRE. WE WERE DRIVING IT ALL MORNING AND MY SON DRIVES IT TO SCHOOL WITH NO ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SON WAS DRIVING 20-25 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A LOW WATER BRIDGE. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ALSO FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE WHEELS BECAME STUCK IN THE BRIDGE AND THE VEHICLE FLIPPED OVER. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER EXPERIENCED SORENESS AND UNDERWENT X-RAYS AND CT SCANS, BUT NO INJURIES WERE FOUND. THERE WERE THREE OTHER OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE WHO SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE POLICE OFFICER STATED THAT DUE TO THE FAILURE AND MOMENTUM GOING DOWN THE INCLINE, THE VEHICLE MOST LIKELY STRUCK THE BRIDGE AT A RATE OF 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN FLAMES WERE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I PULLED OVER, GOT OUT AND CALLED 911. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT OUT THE FIRE, MY CAR WAS TOTALED. THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A DEFECT SOMEWHERE UNDER THE HOOD. IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE ENGINE WHICH I HAD TO REPLACE AT 66,841 MILES FOR OVER $8,000. I GOT NO WARNINGS ON THE DASH, JUST FIRE FROM UNDER THE HOOD.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER FAILED REFERENCE K39
Other or unspecified, Jun 15, 2019
A RECALL WAS ISSUED IN 2011 FOR SHIFT INTERLOCK LEVERS FOR VEHICLES THAT WERE MANUFACTURED BEGINNING IN JUNE 2007 (RECALL # K39). THE SYMPTOM WAS CUSTOMERS NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT THEIR VEHICLES FROM THE PARK POSITION. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN FEBRUARY 2007. I WAS TOLD BY DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT MY WAS MADE BEFORE THE DATE ALLOWED. I WOULD LIKE TO INQUIRE WHETHER THE COMPONENT AFFECTING THESE VEHICLES WAS ADDED AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED OR IS IT THE SAME. IF IT IS THE SAME PLEASE ALLOW THE EARLIER VEHICLES TO FALL UNDER THIS RECALL ALSO. THANK YOU. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN THE DRIVEWAY.

MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER WITH 98,000 MILES JUST THREW A COOLING FAN BLADE THROUGH THE RADIATOR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, LEAVING ME ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. I KNOW THIS IS A RE-OCCURRING ISSUE BECAUSE I AM ON THE CITY COUNCIL FOR A SMALL SUBURB OF HOUSTON AND WE HAD SEVERAL POLICE CARS DO THE SAME THING. SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT COULD LEAVE THE DRIVER BROKEN DOWN IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION (INCLEMENT WEATHER, LATE AT NIGHT, BAD PART OF TOWN), I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE REPAIR COSTS A LITTLE UNDER $1,000 TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND COOLING ASSEMBLY.

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AND IS STUCK IN PARK. THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS PREPARING FOR FAMILY TO COME OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND. I'VE DETERMINED THIS IS DUE TO A BROKEN SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH WHICH IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR. I CONTACTED DODGE/CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THOUGH THE ISSUE IS EXACTLY THE SAME AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED AT MY COST AND THEN IF MY VEHICLE IS LATER INCLUDED IN A RECALL, I WOULD BE REIMBURSED. I'VE READ OF MANY DODGE OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE WHERE THEY HAVE THE EXACT ISSUE BUT ARE EXCLUDED WITHIN THE RECALL YEARS. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED AS THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF THE SCOPE IS NOT CAPTURING THE COMPLETE SPECTRUM. HOW DO WE GET INCLUDED INTO THE RECALL? IF DODGE/CHRYSLER WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY FOR A SIMPLE PLASTIC PART THAT BREAKS, THEN I CERTAINLY DON'T FORESEE MYSELF EVER BUYING ANOTHER DODGE/CHRYSLER. VERY DISAPPOINTING AND FRUSTRATING TO SAY THE LEAST. THANK GOODNESS THERE IS A TEMPORARY WORK AROUND IN ORDER TO STILL BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. LEASE HELP!

THE CAR STARTS UP AND THEN SHUTS DOWN WHEN GEAR IS PUT IN DRIVE. IT HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE IN DRIVE A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST BUT STARTED BACK UP WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS TIME THE CAR WAS PARKED FOR OVER 4 HOURS BUT WOULD START UP BUT SHUTS DOWN WHEN GEAR IS PUT IN DRIVE. IT HAS ALSO SHUT DOWN AFTER MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO ANOTHER LANE ( ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE HIT FROM BEHIND )

THIS AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS CONTROL OVER THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT AND ALSO CONTROLS THE DEFROST AS WELL. THIS IS UNSAFE CONDITION BECAUSE I LIVE IN A STATE WHERE IT RAINS REALLY HARD AND I ALMOST HIT SEVERAL CARS FROM BEHIND BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE MY DEFROST IN THE FRONT OR REAR.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER AND MY MOTOR WAS LOCK-UP. I DID NOT KNOW FOR SURE TILL I TOOK IT TO DODGE AND I HAD TO PAY THEM FOR THIS SERVICE. ALTHOUGH THEY DID TELL ME HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST FOR ANOTHER MOTOR 8500 LIKE REALLY. FURTHERMORE,THE PROBLEM WAS THE COOLING SYSTEM WHICH GAVE NO SIGN OR WARNING TIL THE ENGINE LOCK-UP. THEREFORE I PURCHASED A USE ENGINE SAME YEAR AND MODEL FOR MY 5.7 HEMI MOTOR WHICH DODGE REFUSE TO GIVE A WARRANTY ON BUT THEY MAKE THEM. SAD. I BOUGHT A NEW RADIATOR CLEAN/FLUSHED MY COOLING SYSTEM. NOW THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE MOTOR I JUST WAS ABLE TO PUT IN SAME PROBLEM COOLING SYSTEM. PLEASE HELP OR LET ME TRADE MY CAR IN. I HONESTLY THINK DODGE SHOULD RECALL THESE CARS BECAUSE THEY BUILT SOME POOR MOTOR AND EXPECT HARD WORKING PEOPLE TO PAY FOR THEIR POOR JUDGEMENT IN BUILDING THESE PRETTY CAR.

WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY THERE WAS A BIG BANG UNDER MY HOOD AND I STARTED TO SMELL COOLANT. I DROVE MY CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD ONE OF MY COOLING FANS BROKE, SENDING A BLADE INTO MY RADIATOR CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO IT.

I OWN A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. BIGGEST PIECE OF JUNK EVER IN MY DRIVE WAY. I WAS EXCITED WHEN THE CHALLENGER CAME OUT, MY DAUGHTER WOULD GET THE CHARGER AND MOMMA WOULD GET THE NEW CHALLENGER. I CAN SAY, THAT WONT BE HAPPENING. IN THE THREE YEARS I'VE HAD THIS CAR, I HAVE HAD TO SPEND SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FIXED FROM LEAKING FLUID. A PART I WAS TOLD THAT WAS MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY, BUT NO RECALL, I HAD TO PURCHASE THE FIX KIT MYSELF. WITHIN 6 MONTHS FROM THIS HAPPENING, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT OUT. LOOSING ALL ELECTRONICS IN THE CAR. AGAIN, NO RECALL ANOTHER $600+ OUT OF MY POCKET. NOW JUST THIS WEEK THE "PINK THINKY" HAS MESSED UP. THIS LEFT ME STRANDED IN ANY EMPTY PARKING LOT AT WORK ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND MY HUSBAND AN HOUR AWAY. THANK GOODNESS THE MECHANIC SHOP I GO TO COULD TELL ME HOW TO OVERRIDE AND GET ME HOME. OF COURSE I CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP FIRST, BUT LOW AND BEHOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT HELP ME. THE ANSWER, "I CAN SEND A TOW TRUCK. I DO KNOW THERE IS AN OVERRIDE BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW IT WORKS." REALLY! THREE THINGS RIGHT THERE A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED ON! THIS CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE THE PROBLEMS IT DOES WITHOUT SOMEONE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR CORRECTING IT. MITSIBISHI HAS DODGE BEAT BY ALONG SHOT! 00 GALANT, WAS TRADED IN FOR THE CHARGER WITH 260K MILES ON IT, NEVER SPENT 1 DIME THAT WAS NOT FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, AND IT STILL RAN, DROVE AND HANDLED LIKE IT DID THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. BUT I JUST HAD TO HAVE THE NEW DODGE CHARGER, BIG MISTAKE ON MY PART! THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER DODGE ANYTHING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I KNOW DODGE DOES NOT CARE, I'M JUST ONE OUT OF MILLIONS BUT THEY SHOULD! DODGE CAN GO BANKRUPT TOTALLY, AND NEVER MANUFACTURE ANOTHER THING AND MY WORK WOULD KEEP RIGHT ON REVOLVING! *TR
