CAR MAKES TICKING SOUND. HAD ROCKER ARM AND CAM SHAFT REPLACED 1 YEAR AGO AND ITS TICKING AGAIN. I GET OIL CHANGES EVERY 3000-5000 MILES. *TR
Power train, Jun 5, 2020
I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE OF A SOUND THE CAR MADE WHEN DRIVING, HE SAID IT IS THE DRIVELINE BEARING. THESE ARE NON-REPAIRABLE SO YOU NEED TO HAVE THE ENTIRE DRIVE SHAFT REPLACED. WHEN CALLING FOR THE PART IT IS BACKORDERED EVERYWHERE BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM AND THEY ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IF THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM AND THEY MUST KNOW BECAUSE IT IS BACKORDERED EVERYWHERE WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL TO FIX IT. *TR
Vehicle speed control, Electronic stability control (ESC), Service brakes, May 26, 2020
ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY ABS AND ESC LIGHT LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE DASH. ESC WAS IN RED AND ABS WAS IN YELLOW. I PULLED THE CAR OVER, CUT IT OFF, AND GOOGLED WHAT IT MAY BE AND ALL KINDS OF STUFF CAME UP IN REFERENCE TO WHAT IT COULD BE. ONCE I STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN, IT WAS GONE. LET IT BE KNOWN, I TRAVEL ON THE INTERSTATE TO GO TO WORK, SO THIS WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE FOR ME. I PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE TOOK OFF ONCE I GOT UP TO 78, I PUT MY CRUISE ON AND THEN ABOUT 10 MINS LATER THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AGAIN. THIS TIME, IT SHUT MY CRUISE OFF AND IT'S LIKE SOMEONE PULLED MY STEERING WHEEL FROM ME. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AGAIN AND CUT THE CAR OFF. I WOULD REALLY HATE TO BE DRIVING 75-79 MPH AND MY STEERING GOES OUT. PHONED DODGE AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THEY COULD TELL ME WHAT IT WAS. I WENT AHEAD ON AND CONTINUED TO WORK AND IT DID NOT DO IT AGAIN, EVEN COMING HOME. I JUST DID NOT USE THE CRUISE. TIME HAS PASSED AND IT DID NOT COME BACK ON BUT NOW (TWICE) WHEN I USE MY BRAKES, IT FEELS LIKE THEY ARE SLIPPING. NOT TO MENTION AS OF 30 MINS AGO MY LIGHTS HAVE COME BACK ON. I WAS TOLD IT MAY BE A SENSOR BUT IT'S HARD TO TELL WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE NOT ON. THIS CAR IS MY LIFE.. MY MEANS TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I CANNOT FINANCIALLY GIVE HUNDREDS EVERY TIME A LIGHT COME ON AND THEN IT GOES OFF AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE. I WAS TOLD MY BREAKS AND ROTORS WERE FINE, YET I AM STILL GOING TO REPLACE THEM. I JUST NEED THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER.. I AM A TRUE MOPAR FAN AND I LOVE MY DODGE, BUT IF I OR MY FAMILY IS IN DANGER DRIVING/RIDING IN THIS CAR, MYSELF AND SOMEONE ELSE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT AND SEE IF SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. PLEASE ADVISE..THANK YOU! *TR

Steering, Electronic stability control (ESC), Service brakes, Apr 3, 2020
THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED DISPLAYING MESSAGES TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICED. IT HAS BEGAN TO NOT START AS WELL. IT WILL RANDOMLY FLASH THESE MESSAGES ON THE DASH IN MOTION AND STATIONARY POSITIONS. WHEN IT DOES, THE POWER STEERING ACTUALLY GOES OUT OF THE VEHICLE SWERVES. THE CAR WAS JUST AT A DEALERSHIP TO GET THE OIL DONE A WEEK AGO AND THEY DID AN ENTIRE INSPECTION ON IT AND SAID IT WAS FINE....IT HAS DONE THIS BEFORE 2 YEARS AGO AND THEN STOPPED ON IT'S OWN. SO THE OIL CHANGE WAS BEFORE THE ISSUES STARTED AGAIN. HAD IT CHECKED OUT AGAIN AND STILL NOTHING THROWING ANY CODES OUT. THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND WE WOULD LOVE SOME ANSWERS AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING!

I WAS DRIVING USING MY PADDLE SHIFTERS MOUNTED TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND I PRESSED THE + SHIFTER TO UPSHIFT, BUT INSTEAD OF GOING UP TO THIRD GEAR THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IT IS VERY COMMON AMONG OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES, DATING BACK TO AT LEAST 2015 AND STILL PRESENT IN CURRENT 2019 VEHICLES, YET CHRYSLER HAS NOT ISSUED A SOLUTION. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY SIGNIFICANT ISSUE AS THIS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CARS ENGINE, AND COULD EVEN CAUSE ACCIDENTS OR SPEEDING TICKETS AS THE CAR COULD ACCELERATE SUDDENLY WHEN THE DRIVER IS EXPECTING TO UPSHIFT. I HAVE NOTICED THIS ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES, IT WAS CERTAINLY NOT A ONE-OFF AND IT IS DEFINITELY NOT LIMITED TO MY VEHICLE, AS IT IS CIRCULATING AROUND THE INTERNET AS A COMMON CHRYSLER PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED IT IN CHARGERS AND CHALLENGERS I HAVE DRIVEN (I AM A VALET DRIVER) THERE ARE SEVERAL VIDEOS UP ON THE INTERNET DOCUMENTING THE ISSUE.

BOTH HEADLIGHTS HAVE WENT OUT ON MY CHARGER. FIRST IT WAS DRIVER HEADLIGHT I COULD ONLY DRIVE WITH MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON. IF I SWITCH THEM TO LOW BEAM THERE WOULD BE NO LIGHT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK TRYING TO GET IN THE DEALERSHIP THE ENTIRE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. I REPLACED THE BULB NOTHING HAPPENED. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AGAIN THERE WAS WAIT. ANOTHER WEEK WENT BY AND MY PASSENGER HEADLAMP STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. I NOW HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND MY FOG LIGHTS. BRAND NEW BULBS IN BOTH HEADLIGHTS STILL NO POWER AND NO LIGHTS. NO BRIGHT LIGHTS, NO LOW BEAM LIGHTS. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR THE ANSWER ON THE WEB. I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2010-2012 CHARGERS WITH THE ELECTRICAL WIRING BURNING OUT AND CAUSING THIS ISSUE. I'M WONDERING IF THE SAME ISSUES IS HAPPENING WITH MY CHARGER. MY BROTHER HAS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200 AND IS NOW HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

TOOK IT IN TO LAMPE DODGE VISALIA CALIFORNIA, WAS TOLD A LOANER OR RENTAL HAD TO BE APPROVED BY CORPORATE. THIS WAS NOVEMBER 8TH OF 2019, I HAVE CALLED AND NO ANSWER THEY REFER ME TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND NO ANSWER OR RENTAL CAR. I HAVE BEEN A PREVIOUS DODGE OWNER, AND THIS WILL BE THE LAST VEHICLE I PURCHASE FROM YOU. I HAVE BEEN PATIENT AND THE DEALERSHIP IS NO HELP NEITHER IS CORPORATE. I AM NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT IS RIGHT, THE MOST FRUSTRATING THING IS THE LACK OF FOLLOW THROUGH OR COMMUNICATION FROM DEALER AND CORPORATE. THE CORPORATE PERSON WE SPOKE TO WAS CURBIN AND HE HAD NO INFO AND BLAMED IT ON HIS SUPERVISOR FOR NOT APPROVING IT. I WILL BE TELLING EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT THIS, AND I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH YOUR COMPANY AND HOW THEY HAVE TREATED ME. I SPOKE TO CORPORATE TODAY AND ZERO ASSISTANCE. THANKS A LOT

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN JANUARY OF 2019 ABOUT A RECALL TO REPLACE THE PAB INFLATOR ON MY 2015 DODGE CHARGER SE. I WENT TO VIVA DODGE WHERE I GOT MY VEHICLE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD PUT IN THE ORDER FOR THE PART AND GIVE ME A CALL WHEN THEY'RE READY TO FIX IT. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER OF 2019 AND THEY HAVE YET TO CONTACT ME. I TRIED CALLING THEM MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND THEY ASSURED ME THE PARTS WERE BEING ORDERED BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK ABOUT GOING IN FOR REPAIR. IT IS CONCERNING TO ME CONSIDERING FAULTY OF THIS PART COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES AND EVEN DEATH IF EVER IN AN ACCIDENT.

THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR I'VE OWNED MY 2015 CHARGER. I NOTICED THE FIRST YEAR AFTER BUYING THE CAR IN THE SUMMER THAT THE HEAT ONLY BLEW OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT LOOKED AT I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $650 TO REPLACE THE DOOR ACTUATOR. APPROX 2 DAYS LATER WHILE I WAS WAITING ON THE PART I TRIED THE HEAT AND IT CAME ON. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I CANCELLED THE REPAIR. NOW, HERE AS THE COLD HAS COME UPON US AGAIN, ONCE AGAIN, NO HEAT ON DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL ISSUES REGARDING DODGE CHARGERS OF THE SAME YEAR EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS ISSUE IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED BY THE MAKER TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE. BEING THAT WHEN IT'S COLD OUT THE DEFROSTER ISN'T CAPABLE OF KEEPING THE WINDSHIELD CLEAR THEREFORE COULD CAUSE VISABILITY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING.

MY HEADLAMPS PERIODICALLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, WHICH RESULTS IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I AM TOLD THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM MODULE REGULARLY MALFUNCTIONS ON THESE VEHICLES RESULTING IN A SITUATION WHERE LIGHTING AT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF. THIS CONDITION HAS HAPPENED NOT ONLY WHILE STATIONARY BUT ALSO WHILE MOVING.

I HAVE A DODGE CHARGER, I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY DOOR PANELS INSIDE THE CAR HAVE BEEN WARPING, I DIDN'T THINK THAT I HAVE TO PAY 30000 DOLLARS FOR A CAR I THOUGHT WOULD BE AN AWESOME CAR DO THIS. SO I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME, BUT NO I HAVE FOUND OUT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2011, I HAVE A TOTAL OF 3 CARS INCLUDING MY BEAUTIFUL DODGE CHARGER. I DON'T THINK IT'S FAR THAT I AND MANY OTHERS HAVE TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE OF NEARLY AN EXTRA 2000 DOLLARS FOR GETTING OUR DOOR PANELS REINSTALLED. THIS IS LUDACRIS DON'T GO THINK. I ALSO KNOW THAT THIS IS A NATION WIDE PROBLEM HERE, THEN WHEN YOU CALL TO SEE ABOUT GETTING THEM FIX KNOWING YOU HAVE A WARRANTY OR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY TELL YOU THEY DON'T PAY FOR IT BECAUSE ITS WARE OR TEAR. HOW IS THAT? I KNOW WHEN I GET INTO MY CAR I USUALLY SIT INSIDE THE CAR AND NOT OR A DOOR PANEL. HOW HEAVY OF SOMETHING CAN A DOOR PANEL ACTUALLY BE BEING THAT A DOOR PANEL HAS LITTLE WEIGHT TO HOLD ANYTHING. MY POINT HERE IS WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2011 IT'S 2019. WHY DO THE CUSTOMER HAVE TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR SOMETHING THEY HAVE NOT EVEN THERE.
