Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I replaced the lifters on the engine and it's got a knocking noise don't know what it is but now a red lightening bolt comes across the dash and I have scan it for codes but nothing comes up.
It was a regular day I turn my car off when inside my came out 15mins later the car wouldn't do anything. The lights on the dash comes on but radio won't and the windows also won't go down
Abs esp light on
The engine shut completely off during driving. I lost power steering and automatic braking. I tried to restart but it would not turn over. The battery and the alternator were not dead. I had it towed to a shop and they said the engine control module was dead. It almost caused me to have an accident. I then had to have it towed to a dealer for repair.
While driving in the neighborhood the car shut off lost power steering car was in drive and ignition was still on. Turned the ignition off and took several tries to restart car restarted but would not go above 10 MPH and cut off 4 times thereafter. Drove a week later and same problem right before I got on the highway. Car shuts off while in drive. No check engine lights or any other indicator lights come on. This is very dangerous as this is my primary vehicle to transport my family
My car electronic throttle light keeps coming on along with my traction light. It started doing it once every other month. Then every month. And now 2-5 times a week. It happens each time I am driving, it starts to idle hard. And if I don't pull over the car dies. I shut my car off. Give it about 5 seconds. Then restart it and go on. It may take 2-3 days but then it does it again.
Takata recall my vehicle has a few recalls now for some 2 years. Ow I have yet to get a call back or contact from the dealer at all! I have 2 children that I drive around with everyday I would really like these recalls taken cared of asap everytime I call the dealer they give me the run around about a waiting list or parts waiting to be received. As I said it has breen 2 years since my first recall notice and I have about 3 different recalls now which none have been taken cared of at all.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge charger. The contact stated that the key was inserted into the ignition switch however, there was a few moments of a delayed response. The failure occurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the wireless control module was reprogrammed on two separate occasions. Most recent, the vehicle failed to start. The VIN was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v567000 (electrical system) and the part needed to perform the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 74,783.
The vehicle is stopping for unknown reasons while driving. Phone dodge chrysler in cerritos regarding the recall that is affecting my vehicle and was told no parts are available to repair wireless ignition node module or r25 as required by the national traffic and motor vehicle safety act to repair the vehicle at the current time. This is unacceptable as the vehicle is cutting off for unknown reasons. I was told by diane that all I could do is get on the waiting list that extends over two months and I would be contacted when the part is available.
