Driver Seat will automatically move forward or back during the car actively moving. Moving all the way forward and extending back where unable to reach pedals. Extremely dangerous potentially causing and accident, with serious leg injuries. The emergency break will automatically occur with no vehicles/obstructions that would set off the alert, on the highway , potentially being rear ended. The problems have been occurring approximately 1 yr
The battery keeps going dead without a transmission issue.
Back up camera still shows rear view even after changing out of reverse. Also the door panel glue has failed as well as the glue on the panel around the gear control.
I was driving down the highway when my trunk flew open causing my car to come to a complete stop before I could get onto the shoulder and this scenerio almost caused me to get into a wreck. I had my children in the car and they were very scared! Its ridiculous that it just shuts off before even giving a warning!

Car keeps cutting off when driving disabling traction control and sport control due to bad alternator this happened on the freeway and on surface streets and can cause an accident because you lose complete power from the car with no notice.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 dodge charger. The contact stated that there was a feature on the vehicle that allowed him to position the driver's chair to certain settings from driver one to driver two. While the contact was attempting to enter the vehicle and engage this feature, his daughter placed her head in between the head rest and the rear window. Once the contact opened the door, the seat began to automatically adjust and the space between the vehicle and the head rest began to narrow. As the seat began to adjust, the seat began to choke her neck. The contact was able to get to the driver's side door and hit the memory seat button to cease the seat from adjusting. The contact's daughter was not seriously injured and did not need medical attention. The failure had not occurred since this incident. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000. The VIN was unknown.
While in motion on the highway, my check engine light kept popping on and off. My vehicle started to feel like it was losing power whenever I began to accelerate. It does drive but it makes a very loud, unsettling noise when driving. It sounds very loud even when I am sitting in park. The vehicle is normally silent when sitting in park and driving. I am smelling something very unusual as well when driving. My car was sent to frisco chrysler dodge jeep ram in frisco, tx a few days after this happened and I was told that they were receiving a code p0430 which meant there are issues with my catalytic converter. I was told that over 800,000 vehicles in the dodge make had been recalled this year due to this same thing. I was told my car couldn't be repaired at the moment as they were unsure as to what actually needed to be fixed. I am a single mother and I am afraid that my car is going to quit on me any day. I am being told there is an active recall on dodge vehicles for this but my particular vehicle isn't part of the recall. How is that possible when it's the same thing? In april and july of this year while driving on the freeway, my car began to shake excessively. I pulled over to see if it would stop and it didn't so I slowly made my way over to freedom chrysler dodge jeep ram by ed morse in duncanville, tx where I was told that my ignition coils are failing and eventually all of them will fail as this is common is dodge vehicles. If this is a known common problem, why are these vehicles still being sold? Why hasn't this been fixed? I have spent over $800 in repairs on this car and it's only a 2016. I did not expect to have problems this soon on such a new car.
Heather makes noises when blowing bolts are missing that holds the front grill or bumper
When I recently tried to close my sun roof on my 2016 dodge charger rally, I wasnt able to do so. The car was on, I even called and did the system reboot with a rep but that didnt help, I tried turning the car off and back on, nothing worked. Also, the black material has come undone on both the passenger and driver door which is leaving the indoor panel exposed and not sealing the windows on the inside of the car. The black material in the middle where the airbags are is also coming undone. Currently waiting on a call back from the dealership because all of this just happened.
Loss of power steering, dash cluster lights flashing uncontrollably, dash cluster indicated engine RPM fluctuating wildly while in motion and while stationary and while turning. Transmission or gear shifter made continuous or odd clicking while in motion and while stationary even after vehicle was place in park. Trouble turning the vehicle back on after above issues occurred had to power cycle vehicle several time for actual startup. Could not shift out of park after power cycles and had to do several more power cycles. Second time issues have occurred after already taking vehicle to dealership. Dealership said it was because of low voltage and had not done any other work on vehicle other than reset code and put miles on vehicle.
The harness on the car is defected and the engine light will not go off on the car.
