TAKATA RECALL - WHILE EXITING A HIGHWAY INTO A SHOPPING CENTER, MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. MY WIFE WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED. THIS EPISODE WAS VERY FRIGHTENING. VERY UNSAFE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS, BUT THIS DESPERATELY NEEDS RECALLING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN IN THIS MATTER. *TR

COOLING FAN BLADES SHATTERED AND PUNCTURED RADIATOR WHILE CAR WAS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT IDLE. CAUSED LOSS OF COOLANT AND COOLING SYSTEM FAILURE. NO EXTERNAL CAUSE FOR DEFECT FOUND. COST OF REPAIR ESTIMATED $1000.00
Other or unspecified, Jul 1, 2016
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.

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.

DRIVING A 2007 DODGE CHARGER WITH ABOUT 21K MILES. YESTERDAY, WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN, I TOOK A RIGHT TURN AND WHILE NAVIGATING THE TURN WITH THE SIGNAL ON, I HEARD A LOUD PLASTIC-ON-PLASTIC POPPING AND CREAKING NOISE. WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL WENT OFF, THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND THE LEFT SIGNAL TURNED ON!! NOW, WHEN I TURN RIGHT I HEAR CLICKING FROM THE WHEEL/COLUMN AND WHEN THE SIGNAL CANCELS IT DOES IT SO HARD THAT IT ACTIVATES THE TURN SIGNAL OF THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I'M SURE THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD BELIEVE I'M CONFUSED WHICH WAY I'M GOING ' I'M SO GLAD IT DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT! SO THE TURN SIGNAL IN THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A PLASTIC 'POPPING' NOISE, AND IS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER ON A TURN. THE DEALER SAID IT'S THE CLOCKSPRING. NUMEROUS POSTS ON FORUMS MENTION THE SAME ISSUE. THERE'S BEEN A RECALL ON CHRYSLER/DODGE MINIVANS IN THE EARLY 2000'S FOR THE SAME ISSUE (CLOCKSPRING).... BUT NOT ONE FOR THIS VEHICLE! A PROBLEM LIKE THIS APPEARS TO BE A 'CHEAP' PLASTIC PART FAILING - I HAVE 21K MILES ON THIS CAR (BUT OBVIOUSLY PAST THE 3-YR WARRANTY)... PARTS SHOULD *NOT* FAIL AT 21K MILES!
