CURRENTLY HAVING AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS FOR THE SAME LIGHTS. TWICE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD DO SOMETHING FUNNY AND THE THOSE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON. THE SECOND TIME(CURRENTLY AND OCCURRED ON JUNE 4TH) THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. THE FIRST TIME THE ABS AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS TOLD IT WAS A ABS SENSOR, AND I PAID THE DEALERSHIP $250.00. THIS TIME LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER, THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING IT IS YET ANOTHER SENSOR CAUSING THOSE LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE. AND AS FAR AS THE AIRBAG GOES, IT'S FAULTY WIRING AND THAT IT NEEDED ANOTHER WIRING HARNESS. THESE REPAIRS WOULD COST ME OVER $600.00. I HAVE TWO FRIENDS THAT HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE AND ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A OVERALL DODGE ISSUE AS FAR AS THE CHARGERS GO.

I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A LEGAL U-TURN, WHEN TRYING TO PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE, I STEP ON THE GAS ONLY TO REALIZE THE SHIFTER POPPED BACK INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK. WHEN MAKING A U-TURN THERE IS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BY THE TIME I'M ABLE TO COMPLETE THE U-TURN AND PLACE THE GEAR INTO REVERSE THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I'VE BEEN BEHIND SOME BIG TRUCKS THAT DECIDE THEY WANT TO BACK UP. WITH A NORMAL SHIFTER YOU CAN QUICKLY PLACE THE CAR INTO REVERSE. WITH THIS SHIFTER I FEEL I'M GOING TO GET HIT. THIS POPPING OUT OF REVERSE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SHIFTER. I LIKE THE CAR ALTHOUGH I'VE HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MANY REPAIRS AND IT'S ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. THIS CAR I FEEL MAY GET ME IN AN ACCIDENT OR KILL ME BY NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT QUICKLY ENOUGH. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO UNTIL I GOT YOUR WEBSITE. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT WHEN YOU CAN'T PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE BECAUSE IT POPS OUT. THANK YOU *TR

I HAVE A 2013 DODGE CHARGER V6. AT AROUND 45K MILES I NOTICED A WOBBLY SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF MY CAR WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AT A SLOW SPEED. THE CAR DIDN'T FEEL OR DRIVE WOBBLY IT JUST SOUNDED WOBBLY. BECAUSE MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO PAY THE OUTRAGEOUS FEE THE DEALERSHIP WOULD CHARGE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SO I TOOK IT TO LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP INSTEAD. THEY TOLD ME THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS A BIT SURPRISED TO LEARN THIS BECAUSE BUSHINGS GOING OUT AT ONLY 45K MILES IS VERY PREMATURE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE TO FIND THAT LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. POLICE OFFICERS WHO DRIVE 2009 - 2014 DODGE CHARGERS ARE HAVING TO REPLACE THE TENSION STRUTS ON BOTH SIDES EVERY 15-20 THOUSAND MILES DUE THE BUSHINGS BEING TORN. CHRYSTLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF REPLACING THESE PARTS NOT THE CONSUMER.

A RECALL WAS SENT OUT FOR THE ALTERNATOR, I TRIED SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THE WORK DONE AND THEY NEVER HAD THE PART. RECENTLY I WAS OUT DRIVING THE CAR AND IT SHUTOFF AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR BEGAN TO FLASH ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY. I HAD TO CALL THE TOW TRUCK TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WAS INOPERABLE. ONCE THE DEALERSHIP DID THEIR DIAGNOSIS THEY NOTIFIED ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND IT CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DIE. HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE ALTERNATOR BUT I HAD TO COME OUT OF THE POCKET FOR THE BATTERY. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THE BATTERY DIED DUE TO THE BAD ALTERNATOR AND HE STATED THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW THAT STILL INSISTING THAT I PAY FOR THE BATTERY. I CALLED FOR TWO DAYS STRAIGHT TRYING TO CONTACT THE SERVICE MANAGER BUT NO ONE EVER CONTACTED ME. THEREFORE I'M REACHING OUT TO YOUR COMPANY TO FIND OUT IS IT FAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR A BATTERY THAT DIED DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR GOING OUT. THE CAR LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FLASH AND THE GAUGES CONTINUED TO GO IN ALL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS EVEN WHEN THE TOW COMPANY TOWED THE CAR. THE BATTERY THAT WAS IN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED DIRECTLY FROM DODGE LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ASSIST ME?
