MY 2007 CHARGER IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT SO MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD... WHILE DRIVING, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AT ONCE, FAN (HEAT, A/C) GOES DEAD, ALL GAUGES DROP TO ZERO AND AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF... AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS, EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL EXCEPT FOR THE HEADLIGHTS, THOSE HAVE TO BE MANUALLY TURNED ON...

Engine and engine cooling, Engine, Jan 15, 2013
MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER WAS RENDERED INOPERABLE WHEN THE ENGINE COOLING FAN BLADES SEPARATED UNEXPECTEDLY, CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE RADIATOR. THIS INCIDENT ULTIMATELY RESULTED IN ENGINE FAILURE. WHEN THIS INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO THE CHRYSLER GROUP, THE CASE MANAGER WAS INFORMED OF A RECALL THAT ADDRESSED THIS SAME ISSUE. PLEASE REFER TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION L08 ENGINE COOLING FANS. THIS NOTIFICATION CAUTIONS OWNERS THAT THE ELECTRICALLY POWERED RADIATOR COOLING FANS ON ABOUT 52,000 OF THE REFERENCED VEHICLES (INCLUDE 2007 DODGE CHARGER) MAY SEPARATE DURING FAN OPERATION AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE RADIATOR. THIS EXACT FAILURE OCCURRED TO MY VEHICLE COSTING ME IN EXCESS OF $2000 BUT THE CHRYSLER GROUP REFUSED TO OFFER ASSISTANCE DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY VIN FELL OUTSIDE OF THE RANGE TO THE VINS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I REQUEST THAT A THE EXISTING RECALL BE EXPANDED TO ALL OF THE VEHICLES TYPES LISTED WITHIN THE 2006-2008 TIME FRAME INSTEAD OF LIMITING TO THE 52,000 ESTIMATED IN THE NOTIFICATION. *TR UPDATED 01/24/13

TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER PROBLEM: I READ THERE WAS A "SILENT" RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ONLY FOR CARS BUILT BETWEEN JUNE AND SEPTEMBER OF 2007. MY CAR WAS BUILT SHORTLY BEFORE THIS PERIOD. MY QUESTION IS: WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL FOR ALL VEHICLES HAVING THIS PROBLEM? A DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME OVER $400 TO REPLACE A SINGLE PINK PLASTIC PART WITH A SMALL, FRAIL HOOK (WHICH IS WHAT BROKE OFF) THAT ATTACHES TO A SMALL SPRING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND A DESIGN FLAW THAT WARRANTS A COMPREHENSIVE RECALL. I CANNOT EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW MUCH THIS HAS UPSET ME AND WOULD REALLY LIKE THE NHTSA TO TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION AND ISSUE A RECALL FOR ALL CARS AFFECTED. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME ALONG WITH MY WIFE FROM RUNNING ERRANDS WHEN MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPHS PER HOUR. I CALLED AAA TO COME AND TOW MY VEHICLE. THEY DID JUST THAT AND THE SERVICE-CONTRACTED TOWING COMPANY FOR AAA DROPPED MY DODGE CHARGER RT OFF TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP THAT I'M ACCUSTOMED TO GOING. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED HEAVILY FROM THE ENGINE PROBLEM. SO HE TOOK OUT THE OLD BATTERY I HAD AND PUT IN A NEW BATTERY. ONCE HE DID THAT HE TRIED TO GET THE DODGE CHARGER RT TO START BUT THERE WAS NO LUCK. BUT EVENTUALLY SOME ELECTRICAL POWER WAS RESTORED TO A LEVEL IN ORDER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO BE PERFORMED. ONCE THIS MECHANIC COMPLETED THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST HE TOLD ME THAT THE CODES HE RECEIVED ARE IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2007 MODEL OF THE DODGE CHARGER RT. HE TOLD ME THAT THE 2007 MODEL FOR THIS VEHICLE HAD THE MOST RECALL PROBLEMS FOR THE ISSUE THAT I EXPERIENCED WHICH WERE ENGINE PROBLEMS. HE SAID THAT THE ENGINE PROBLEMS WERE THE SECOND MOST RECALLED ISSUE AFTER THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOR THIS VEHICLE. HE TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO INVESTIGATE ABOUT GETTING A RECALL COMPLAINT MADE FOR THIS VEHICLE WITH THE MANUFACTURER (DODGE), BECAUSE THE ENGINE PROBLEM JUSTIFIED THE SAME RECALL ISSUES THAT PREVIOUS OWNERS HAD WITH THE MODEL AND YEAR OF THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR
