FIRST MY CAR WOULD NOT DETECT MY KEYS (EVEN AFTER I REPLACED BATTER). WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD RANDOMLY COME ON AND OFF EVEN AFTER GETTING ALL REPAIRS COMPLETED. ONE DAY IT REPEATEDLY FLASHED ON AND OFF AND KEEPS CONSTANTLY. MY CAR WAS ALSO JUMPING AND VIBRATING EXTREMELY HARD AND THE ENGINE WAS TICKING. GOING SLOW OR SLOWING DOWN, MY CAR HAS A HARD TIME TURNING. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND RAN AN DIAGNOSTICS. AFTERWARDS I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING AND WHAT THE DIAGNOSTIC SAID. I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT FIXED. MOREOVER, MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I DO NOT HAVE A RENTAL. THE LAST TIME I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR RECALLS, I WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY RENTALS AND I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE MY OWN. ALSO, THEY NEVER TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL WITH MY BRAKE CHOCKS WEREN'T REPLACED. THE INDIVIDUALS WORKING IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIDN'T ACT REALLY PROFESSIONAL. THEY WERE DEMEANING AND SQUARING ME OF THINGS THAT I DIDN'T DO OR AGREE TO.

ON 9/21/2020, MY CAR HAD AND PASSED A STATE & EMISSION INSPECTION. MY CAR WAS DRIVEN 200 MILES FROM DATE OF INSPECTION TO CURRENT DATE. WHEN I STARTED MY CAR THE "SERVICE AWD, ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON IN PARK." TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 10/26/2020, THEY SAID IT WAS THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND ASKED, IF I MIGHT HAVE HIT A POTHOLE OR BUMPS ON THE ROAD. I WAS IN DISBELIEF, BECAUSE I ONLY DRIVE ON SMOOTH ROADS AND MY CAR IS BARELY MOVED. I'VE PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW ON 9/19/2014 AND SIX YEARS LATER, MY MILEAGE IS AT 26,420. FROM NUMEROUS THREADS, POSTS AND COMPLAINTS, I'M SEEING A CONCURRENT PROBLEM WITH DODGE VEHICLES IN THIS MANNER. I STRONGLY BELIEVE YOU SHOULD LOOK DEEPLY INTO THIS MATTER, BECAUSE IT'S TOO COMMON AND COSTLY. CAR: 2014 DODGE CHARGE R/T AWD.

THE PANELS ON THE DOORS ARE WARPING AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS AND THE PANELS ON EACH SIDE OF THE SHIFTING CONSOLE ARE ALSO WARPED OUT. IT WILL CREATE A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE DOOR PANELS PREVENT THE AIRBAGS FROM DEPLOYING OR THE CONSOLES COME OFF PREVENTING A SAFE DRIVER OR THE PANELS GET UNDER THE LEGDS OR PREVENT THE DRIVER FROM SAFELY REACHING GAS PEDDLE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE CITY STREET AND AS I WENT TO TURN THE CORNER THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. IT TOOK ALL MY STRENGTH AND CAREFUL BRAKING NOT TO HIT THE CAR IN THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND THEY TELL ME THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS OUT.

WARNING LIGHTS: SERVICE SHIFTER, SERVICE POWER STEERING, AUTO PARK DISABLED, CHECK ENGINE, THEN DASH LIGHTS STARTED BLACKING COMPLETELY OUT. VERY DANGEROUS! I TOOK TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAYS THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAS BEEN FIRED. AFTER READING THE ALTENATOR RECALL, THIA EXPLAINED EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED! ALL RECALLS HAVE BEEN FIXED ON THIS VEHICLE. AFTER CONTACTING LOCAL DEALERSHIPS I LEARNED THAT THERE ARE 89 PEOPLE JUST IN MY AREA NEEDING THIS SAME PUMP AND IT IS ON BACK ORDER. THIS TELLS ME THAT THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! NOW $1800 TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH ALTENATOR RECALL COMPLETED. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR, CANT DRIVE,CANT AFFORD TO FIX, AND WONT SELL TO SOMEONE ELSE KNOWING HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. I CANT IMAGINE THAT WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS NOT AN ALL CONSUMING ISSUE AND PUTS MANY LIVES AT RISK

I OWN A 2014 DODGE CHARGER SE AND HAD A FAULTY ALTERNATOR. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. PER NHTSA'S RECALL T36 AND T75 SOME ALTERNATORS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED MY VEHICLES ALTERNATOR. BEFORE MAY 27TH, 2018, OUR ALTERNATOR FAILED. THE CAR WOULD NOT START, AT THE TIME WE WERE NOT SURE IF IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. I HAD A LOCAL AUTO STORE TEST THE ALTERNATOR AND IT PASSED. SO, WE PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY. WE BELIEVED THAT RESOLVED THIS ISSUE. AFTER A MONTH, THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. IT APPEARS THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT CHARGING THE BATTERY CORRECTLY. THE ISSUE WAS HIT OR MISS LUCKILY, WE DID NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. THIS CAR IS NOT AN EVERYDAY VEHICLE SO IT COULD GO A COUPLE OF WEEKS WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN. TO ALLEVIATE THE ISSUE, I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR ON SEPTEMBER 15TH 2018. SINCE THAT TIME EVERYTHING HAS BEEN WORKING CORRECTLY. ATTACHED ARE A PHOTO OF THE OEM ALTERNATOR, THE AFTERMARKET ALTERNATOR, AND RECEIPT. I BELIEVE DODGE CHRYSLER SHOULD EXTEND THEIR CURRENT RECALLS TO INCLUDE THE DENSO 42100 ' 0750 ALTERNATOR. ON MAY 27TH, 2018 OUR ALTERNATOR FAILED. AT THE TIME WE WERE. *TR
