Takata recall the suspension is shot. I am having to replace the my tires due to the bushings being junk and have ate my tires away on the inside down to the metal due to the toe positioning being incorrect. The control arms have been changed, but I am in fear the rear camber may be completely out. Also, sometimes my car does not want to turn over, but yet the battery, starter and alternator are fine. Also, my electrical system is a mess. I can't roll down my window unless I shut off my air or heat. Then when I turn on my air or heat all my interior lights go out. Plus, sometimes my tachometer doesn't want to work. I have replaced the engine and transmission, it is always maintained, but yet I feel like I am about to have to dump thousands of dollars into this cheaply made suspension. I have seen several charger owners of the same year stating they have had these issues and if a recall can not be done then a class action lawsuit should be put into motion. I'm hoping dodge will give us a chance to keep their customers, because at this morning I am ready to give up. I have always been a dodge fan, but this time, on my favorite looking car, you all have dropped the ball!

Both front whees have fallen off due to faulty suspension components. The passenger side wheel fell off while at interstate speed when the top ball joint failed. Luckily it fell inward. The driver side wheel fell off when it was put up on the rack at the dealership to fix the faulty fuel pump. Again, the upper ball joint failed.

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that the vehicle shook and knocked excessively at low and high rates of speed. In addition, when the vehicle was at a complete stop, it hesitated several times and lunged forward. The contact had to apply the brake pedal with force to ensure that the vehicle came to a complete stop. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact later received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v313000 (air bags) 16v352000, but had to wait for the second notice to determine when the parts would become available. The approximate failure mileage was 14,200. Parts distribution disconnect. Vin tool confirms parts not available.

In the last year I have had to have the front tie rods replaced three time. At certain speeds my vehicle will vibrate. Going over speed bumps or into even the slightest pot hole the vehicle will vibrate. When slowing down or coming to a stop the front end will vibrate. Took the vehicle to the dealership and they advised my front tires needed to be changed and/or rotated to the back due to an unusual wearing on the tires. The wear was on the outside of the tires.the gear shifter was in park position and there it stayed was unable to shift gear to anything and had to take the console around the lever apart to shift gears. And the brakes squeak all the time even after having them replaced and the rotors replaced as well as the struts. When the car is sitting in idle, the lights dims as though there is a shortage in the electrical system. I let my 17yr old daughter drive my car to school and when she got to a red light the engine shut off. This is dangerous, so I don't let her drive the car anymore. My seatbelt light stays on & beeps when the seatbelt is connected. These are all safety issues & chrysler should be held accountable. These issues needs to be addressed.

Our 2006 dodge charger was showing symptoms of the wheels being out of alignment, and we had it checked out by a mechanic. We knew what he was going to say before he came back with his assessment; its the tie rods once again. We have had problems with the tie rods on this car from the 3rd month of owning it. We have had it fixed by the dealer 3 times along with new brakes and tires at the cost of $2,000 each time. We drive 20 miles a day to and from work, there is no reason for the tie rods to be replaced. I have complained to the dealership and they told me that it is an issue that we will continue to have and there is nothing we can do about it. He had 4 chargers in that day with the same issue. I contacted chrysler 2 days ago because we need to have the tie rods fixed for the 4th time. They told me they would forward my complaint to the product development team. Chrysler needs to own up to the defective products they are selling! I'm afraid for our family of 4 to ride in this car. Do people have to die before an investigation is warranted? I want to get rid of this car but I hate to pawn it off on another family, its dangerous! Please do an investigation, and ask dealerships and mechanics how many defective tie rods they place on these cars a day.
