Car started and wouldn't move out of park. Had to be towed to dealership. Broken internal shifter mechanism, they replaced the shifter assembly. This is a recall on other models but not the srt 8. The srt 8 model needs to be added too. The car only had 62,000 miles when this occurred.
My vehicle was released to me from carstar of macon with a knowingly inoperable TPMS on all four of my tires. I was not told this before I paid and drove away. I got 5 minutes down the road and felt violent shaving in the steering wheel. I turned around and drove the vehicle back to carstar and waited about 20 minutes for them to tell me that they were aware that the TPMS was inoperable. That they were aware that all four sensors were not working properly and that one had actually fallen out into the tire itself and was bouncing around in the wheel well knocking off the alignment of the vehicle. They gave me an option of fixing it or removing the sensors. I was told that they would try to contact my insurence company to see if they would pay for the damaged parts that were operating normally before they switched out the new tire wheels. Again they release the vehicle to me with an inoperable TPMS system and advise me to drive over 60 MPH.
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.
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!
Ive had issues that I am reporting to thus site. Dealership said my VIN didn't match. My esp, ABS, and bas lights have been on for 2 years. I went to dealership to inquire on ecu flash with new software by recall, but the dealership said only police package vehicles were included in that recall. Ive researched countless hours to find very many people who have this same problem. Now I am needing to bring my car in for the airbag recall. From what it states on this website, my recall was ordered back in may, 2015. From the information that I read, there was supposed to be a 60 day time span within which the dealership was supposed to fix my airbag issue, and the fact that my vehicle VIN number falls under this recall order, I believe that I was previously misled by chrysler dodge jeep about the issues pertaining to my ABS, bas, and esp issues which regard a wheel speed sensor, from my understanding, that causes me to lose traction, trouble braking in moist to wet weather, and my cruise control option has not worked since the ABS, bas, and esp lights first came on 2 years ago, when my wheels lost traction while pulling into a gravel driveway at about 5 miles an hour.I drove off road accidentally twice in the passed year: the first time was caused by a lack of ABS and a braking assistance system which caused only minor damage to front bumper. The second time was due to loss of tire traction while pulling away from a stop sign while it was raining, causing me to spin out into a 180 degrees turn to which my tires caught traction and I acceled through a white picket fence on the corner of the street while my foot firmly jammed on the brake pedal to try and prevent personal or external damage. Still damaging passenger fender and front grille. I'm close to request of a depreciated financial reimbursement on vehiclal. My safety, security, and trust has become compromised.
My 07 dodge charger r/t stalls randomly causing lost of power and steering wheel lock. Very dangerous on the highway, me and my family could of been killed. I would like this to be a recall as all dodge dealerships are saying its not a recall. I found on many forums with people dealing with the stall issue on the vehicle the appropriate action is to reflash the power control module, but the dealership refuse and tells me to call chrysler where they as well refuse. I am getting tired of dodge this has happen to me about 7 times since my purchase in july 2014. Please help the federal safety agency.
This incident has happened twice now. One, I was stopped at a stop light and the car just shut off, engine, all power etc. Second time was going 25 miles per hour and the same thing happened..car just shut off...no power steering, no brakes...and was in a neighborhood with lots s of kids out and about. Dealer say no computer codes no issues. This is not a safe vehicle.
This is now the third time the vehicle has stalled while in gear. Galeana in ft myers has serviced the vehicle after every incident. We have been out of a vehicle for an accumulative of over thirty days, had to pay for rentals, taxes, gas to get to and from the dealer and bogus repair costs. The first service charge was that of 500 hundred dollars, which the vehicle stalled a few days later and the techs said the service they had done would not have fixed the stalling!!???what??. They then replaced the relay fuse worth fifteen dollars the 2nd time it was serviced, the vehicle stalled two days after having it back and we were on our way to the hospital in the vehicle! I need this documented because this time dodge corporate responded in less than twelve hours to galeana to have the car serviced and a main wire replaced and it hasn't stalled since, but now I want reimburse!!!
When in gear and vehicle is moving, reverse and drive, the vehicle will seize, causing loss of steering and speed. While this vehicles VIN number is not recognized on the recall list, we have had several recall problems with the vehicle which dodge did except responsibility for by paying the repair cost. I want to document that 3 body shops including a certified dodge dealer cannot diagnose this vehicles seizing problem. This is the fourth time it is going into the shop for seizing while in gear. If someone is injured in this vehicle when it malfunctions I hold dodge jeep and chrysler fully labial for negligence and possible conspiracy of current knowledge of vehicles with faulty equipment and failure to document all such vehicles by leaving their VIN numbers off the recall forms.
