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.

Around 70k miles I noticed my car not wanting to turn left, especially when braking. The wheel seems to lock up and is very difficult to turn. I also noticed a knocking, rattling type noise, that seems to come from the wheel area, when turning either left or right and at low and high speeds. I took my car to a dodge dealership to be checked. I was told I needed new brakes, rotors and lower control arms replaced. Which I had them replaced. I took car back because it is still doing the same thing, I was told they do not see or know any reason why it's still happening. The check engine light came on, codes ps401 and p06dd was reported. The locking of the wheel is occurring more frequently and I'm afraid to drive the vehicle.

When driving my vehicle their is a knocking noise in my front right wheel, almost sounds as if some bolts are loose. Also when pulling in to back up, when I turn my steering wheel a certain way their is a funny clicking sound in the steering wheel, and funny sound in the brake when I am backing my car into my drive way. I believe that this may be an issue with a recall that hasn't been looked into.

Defective left cylinder in pentastar 3.6vl engine. My car was built in september 2013. It has the constant ticking and puttering associated with the defect. Drives fine, may or may not have the check engine light on, but when idle it shakes/knocks uncontrollably. My mechanic educated me on the defect after many attempts at repairing the severe misfiring. Contacted dodge and chrysler and was informed that because my car is a 2014 charger it did not have the 150,000 extended warranty for his known defect in chargers from 2011-2103; noting mine was built in 2013.

The car had an exhaust smell wednesday coming through the vents. That went away. No issues with performance. Notice days after car was loud. Figured it was just warming up with cold temperature. Last night car starts no problem. Drive to a friends house was maybe in her house 7 minutes. We go to leave used the key fob to unlock the car notice inside of the car is completely black, won't start. There was a ticking noise under the hood. Windshield wipers start moving. I test the key fob not responding. Dashboard lights up, message screen is white, car puts it's self in run but engine not starting. You can move the gear to put the car in neutral. The whole time dashboard and all lights are know blinking. Turn signals are on outside but dashboard doesn't reflect. Battery tested fine. I have video of what the car is doing. They completed a recall on the alternator due to not giving enough power to the car in 2015. Hopefully that's not the problem. Will be towed tomorrow to the dealership.

On august 29th 2016 I was returning(driving on us20) home from some official business, when my dash started flashing, all the warning lights would flash, the speed displayed would go up, and down , and the car started changing gears. There was a ticking sound coming from my gear shift, like it was trying to select gear. The power steering light , and service transmission message keep coming up as well. I would intermittenly lose power steering during this, and power from the engine would lag also. I have a three minute, and thirty-five second video of what was occuring. I contacted some mechanic friends that work on indiana state police chargers, and they thought it could be the battery shorting out. The next morning I replaced the battery, and installed properly with positive post first. This seem to resolve the dash flashing symptoms, but I then had no power steering at all. I took to our local dodge dealer in lagrange, in they ran a diagnostic analysis, and determined the electronic power steering pump was no good. The power steering pump worked perfectly fine with no issues at all, ever, before these electrical issues occured. This vehicle is used to transport the us congressman, when he is in the district on official business, and we need it repaired asap. It is my opinion, the power steering pump was destroyed by the electrical issues concerning the recall on this vehicle. It is also my opinion that fac llc should replace the power steering pump at no cost per the consent order pertaining to this recall. I am trying to get the video to email, at this point, the video is to long to email.
