Brakes- total brake failure of my car isn't heated up to the third line. Engine- loud ticking. Mechanic said 1 out of 12 lifters in driver's side cylinder has collapsed. Power train- when I accelerate in over drive my check engine light comes on for a couple days. When I diagnose it, it says torque converter failure. (overdrive failure) so I'm guessing I have no overdrive until the check engine light shuts back off. (who knows) dodge/chrystler needs to check into the quality of the cars they're producing. I will neber buy another dodge/chrystler/jeep

I rear ended another vehicle because my brakes failed. I had both feet pushing on the brake pedal and my brakes failed to stop my vehicle. They did not lock up or anything I rolled right into another vehicle. I see a lot of chargers that are crashed in the front just like mine. I really think these brake should be looked into or issue a recall.*dt consumer stated vehicle was not repaired and manufacture was not contacted.

2006 dodge charger daytona r/t randomly stalls while driving or parked. No check engine light gets produced. In that split second that it shuts off, the car loses power completely and no brakes or power steering. This is extremely dangerous, and dodge should issue a recall immediately to fix this issue. Most sources point to a faulty gas tank that has a lifetime warranty now but should be recalled.

I purchased a new 2019 dodge charger scatpack. It was purchased as a leisure car for weekend use. I've had the vehicle for a year and a half and has 13000 miles. The vehicle began to shimmy from the front brakes. The front vibration began very light but has continued to increase. At first I believe that it was probably caused by the fact that it was not driven to often and there was probably a rust buildup of some kind. However, in researching the internet it appears to be a common problem with this vehicle. The dealership labeled the problem as a wear and tear issue and for that reason it would be my responsibility to fix it. I strongly believe that this is a poor designed problem that the manufacturer is refusing to recognize. I've owned many cars in my 58 year's of life and I know that a break issue unfortunately takes loss of life before it's addressed by the authorities and or manufacturer's. I'm hoping that these issue is addressed as I've found throughout my research that it's a common problem with this vehicle and it comes with other problems like brake failure also. The brakes are manufactured by brembo brake who has also refused to acknowledge a posible problem with the brakes.
