I TOOK THE VEHICLE DOWN TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND FOUND OUT THAT THE PLENUM IS A COMMON FAIL PART AND IS A DEALER ONLY PART AND COST 969.00 TO REPLACE. AFTER HAVING THE REFLASH DONE ON MY VEHICLE AND FINDING OUT ABOUT THE PLENUM I RETURNED TO AAA TO FIND OUT IF THEY COULD FIX THE PROBLEM CHEAPER.

AFTER FINDING OUT ABOUT THE REFLASH BEING ON RECALL I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET MY MONEY BACK AND WAS TOLD RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC, EVEN THOUGH DISTRIBUTED BY REGULAR MECHANICS. AFTER FIXING THE ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEM AND GETTING MY CAR INSPECTED, 3 DAYS LATER THE INTERLOCK MECHANISM BROKE AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO MOVE THE CLUTCH TO PUT CAR IN GEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND PAID FOR A DIAGNOSTICS AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING ARE ALL LISTED IN THE RECALLS BUT THEY CAN NOT FIX DUE TO RECALLS BEING VIN SPECIFIC. I PAID 478.00 FOR INTERLOCK TO BE FIXED. I HAVE TWO MORE ITEMS ON MY VEHICLE LISTED FOR RECALL AND I NOW KEEP GETTING A LIGHTNING BOLT WARNING SIGN ON MY DASH WHEN MY VEHICLE IS IDLE. I HAVE PAID FOR 2 OUT OF 4 RECALLS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY THE DEALERSHIP BUT WERE NT DUE TO THEM BEING VIN SPECIFIC EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING MATCHES UP WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND WHAT IS BEING RECALLED. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE CHARGER THAT I HAVE PURCHASED "USED" JUST 8 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE NOT EVEN DRIVEN 6000 MILES IN THIS CAR AND IT HAS A BAD "LIFTER" TICKING IN THE ENGINE. IT WILL COST IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $1200.00 TO REPAIR. ON THE DODGE FORUMS I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE VERY SAME ISSUE. THEY HAVE ALL CALLED DODGE AS I HAVE AS WELL AND THE ANSWER WAS THE VERY SAME. CAN'T HELP YOU SORRY FOR YOUR LUCK! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THESE CHARGERS AS IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD WITH THIS MODEL CAR. I AM FURIOUS THAT THEY WILL NOT HELP AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE VEHICLE OR RECOMMEND ONE EVER. I HAVE SPENT A FAIR AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A "GOOD" BRAND AMERICAN VEHICLE AND NOW HERE WE ARE WITH ANOTHER HEADACHE CAR WITH ENGINE PROBLEMS AND NO HELP IN SIGHT! *TR
