Loud belt squealing during a turn followed by "battery saver mode" message which then turned into smoke under the hood.
2014 Dodge Charger electric power steering pump having issues turning steering wheel which I complain about 6 months ago after purchasing the vehicle for my son it a very serious problem concerning safety . They only recall 2014 Dodge Charger if the the power steering pump was install at specific Maufactured facilities, which is bs . Dodge should be responsible for any faulted power steering pump issue knowingly it exists. My son vehicle has this electric power steering pump issue and the manufacturer and Dodge dealer should replace due to safety issues. Please advise
While driving on expressway vehicle automatically went into neutral. Would not go back into drive mode. Had to veer to the side of road. Very dangerous almost caused accidents. When vehicle stopped still couldn't put vehicle into drive. Turned car off vehicle would not turn back on.
My steering wheel has locked up on me while I'm driving at least 10 times if not more since I purchased my 2014 dodge charger in 2015. All these incidents where at different time periods and at different speeds ranging from 0 to 60 MPH. The steering wheel would stay locked for a couple of minutes. Each time that it has happened, I've been close to having an accident either hitting someone else or running off the road. I would try to turn the vehicle off and on to see if it would loosen back up. Sometimes it would work, other times it wouldn't. I've taken the vehicle to multiple mechanics and they all have said it might have something to so with the power steering since the vehicle is electric. I've then taken it to the dodge dealership to get it diagnosed and they said nothing comes up on their tests that shows steering wheel defects. I've also contacted the actual dodge manufacturer but they weren't of any help either unless a recall pops up. I have no evidence to show the problem other than horrible past experiences I've had while driving.
When driving and acceleraing lost power to the instrument cluster and powwr steering.
My stability control light came on the same day I went up a steep driveway. It has happened before as my tires slipped on some sand but the light turned right off. This time it has stayed on and it was diagnosed as the multi-axis acceleration sensor (aka dynamic sensor) internal failure. Firestone had never heard of this part going out nor has my mechanic. I am hoping something is wrong and this part gets recalled as I do believe the steep driveway caused this issue which should not happen. I am able to still drive my car but the cruise control is now disabled as the car thinks the car can be unstable/unsafe in cruise control mode.
All cars to date have same probems lifters will go out, intake manfold will suck oil into the air chamber, seals replacement will not fix. Car has huge elec probem, car put togather in sections so there no sold ground, so all grounding points will fail. With 60k miles I had rebuild drive train trasfer case two axles failed, car suffers from computer rebooting wich for just sec everything reset, awd system has programing probems, the motor will fail after warenty, these cars was ment to break down, they ment to have probems as no dealership talks to headcords as they lose so much money to fix these probems, I been lie to by all dodge delear ships, PCM must be updated as in recall only part PCM was updated all the service builtions on it they never fix, in fack they told me to leave, so now I cant even get PCM updated, to note two delear ships I went to none in the shop was wareing mask none of them I must ask why they put my life at risk
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.
Sound from radio goes in and out
Driving down the road at 58 MPH and power steering went complety out! No warning at all! Dash lights went crazy. 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
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 dodge charger. The contact stated that she took the vehicle to an unknown dealer for some routine maintenance. The contact also had a recall and that work was completed. After that visit, the battery light came on. The contact had her battery and alternator checked out by an independent mechanic and all was fine. Afterwards the windows would not roll up or down, the radio and the A/C, and the window wipers would turn on by themselves. When that happened the entire console would light up as well. The contact called the dealer gossett chrysler, dodge, jeep, ram 1901 covington pike, memphis, tn 38128 (901) 363-6556 and they said there were no recalls. The manufacturer had not been contacted yet. The vehicle was currently still unrepaired at the contact's home. The failure mileage was 100,000.
While driving all the warning on the drivers panel stated to ding and warning to not put car into park or it may not be able to be put back into gear. The service power steering warning, they stayed in making all sort of noise for a couple minutes. Power steering was not working all of a sudden either. I almost wrecked into the car beside me. Parked the car once I got home, boyfriend looked at it and it seemed fine to him. This happened a couple different times since then. The power steering will just stop working. The service power steering warning light comes on now and then. It is dangerous! I am just happy my daughter was not driving when it happened, that could have been tragic as she has only been driving just under 2 years. I have looked this up and it seems to be a problem that many others have experienced. It is so dangerous when the steering goes out, there should be a recall on this!
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 the federal safety agency'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.
Car displaying battery saver mode have had battery checked and always with a passing diagnosis I have gotten car checked and it might be a faulty alternator car has donde this since starting of second year of purchase but never have out much attention to this u til now that car shuts off and have to get jumped in order to start I have seen in forums that people have this issue and is reoccurring in this model and year
The rear fuse box burnt out in the trunk of the car; almost causing a car fire and the fuse box is none operational but located next to the transmission, control panel,seats and airbags fuses and many other operational safety features of the car. The car has had all recalls, services, maintained meticulously with one owner no accidents.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 dodge charger. The contact stated that the air pressure service message was displayed and the instrument panel was blank.

Electronic throttle body defect causes car to cut off while driving. Lighting bolt flashes then check engine light comes on. I was driving at 70 MPH on the highway and then the warning lights flash bolt and engine then the cars shutsoff. Very dangerous
Today my car turned off all of a sudden out of no where. I have stated to the dealer for years that it is not normal for a car to say battery saver mode and lights, radio, dash and all electrical devices in a vehicle to turn of or stutter of and on. They said it is normal and that it is my battery. If a car turns on the alternator is supposed to take all the load off of the battery running in the engine nothing else. My car has stuttered multiple time off and in while driving and even almost turned off. This is not safe for driving around, because car could turn off while driving on a highway and I lose all control off the vehicle steering, brakes and accelerating. When I the vehicle turned off today I was stopped at a red light and the car started to stutter and then it just turned off when the green light turned on. I was unable to take a picture today and I was in traffic and it is illegal to drive and use a phone. I have multiple picture from the past but was only able to upload one

While driving freeway, highway, in a parking lot or at a stop light my cars electronics are shutting off and occasionally the engine shuts off and my steering locks up. Sounds like the p60 recall but my car VIN does not qualify but had all the same symptoms and is very dangerous. This car is my only way to work and it's been getting worse and I have been denied a fix on this. This is not safe at all
My vehicle has a recall (campaign 17v‑741) for the alternator. I took my vehicle to my local dodge dealer for repairs and was advised that since my VIN is not in the dodge recall database, the repair cannot be done under recall and I would have to pay for the repair/replacement of the alternator. My "battery saver mode" light illuminates regularly under load such as air conditioner. To date, dodge refuses to honor the recall.
My car often sometimes the ABS & traction control light pop up out of the blue at the same time then goes off & also it seems at times the transmission gets stuck when reducing speed coming to s stop also the vehicle all of a sudden just turn off on me when I was run my a.c in a drive through as I proceeded to pull off
All dash warning lights are on. Loss of power steering trans slippery and sticking.
Alternator recall that matches exact issue, make (dodge), model (charger), year (2014), and engine size of car (3.6l v6). Alternator malfunction caused short circuit of hydro-electric power steering pump. Indicator lights began to flash and car would begin to stall while in operation until eventually dying completely. Alerted that VIN number was not part of the recall and had to have all work done at local mechanic.
