ABS control module failure resulting in no ABS brakes , traction control or ESP

Was driving and a tick was present then over heated sat on side of road until cooled down added coolant drove home . The next day car was drivable. Drove to school and car was sounding funny so took it to a repair shop and they told me the particular engine in the vehicle has a fuel efficient component where it shuts down the cylinders on the freeway, and the lifters are supposed to open, but our lifter did not open. It got stuck and grind the camshaft in the motor. Needless to say I had to have the car towed home. It’s just sitting in my parking lot. I tried calling Dodge. They wouldn’t help me. I tried calling multiple agencies to help. I looked up on the Internet and there is multiple complaints about the same problem it’s called the hemi lift so hopefully one day this can be recalled because I’m still paying on the car. I had a year and a half. No one will help me. My kids were driving the car. What if the thing blew up on them on the freeway and somebody hit them because Car wouldn’t move anymore . Or if they were taking the car through the desert and there is no phone calls and no one around. If they were going around corners of a mountain and just stopped on them or blew up because can’t drive the car anymore. very bad and scary and sad that the builder of that motor won’t fix their mistake and leave countless people stranded and in a predicament

My vehicle was stolen in downtown New York

As documented in the previous report.

I need to address a serious issue regarding the car I purchased in 2020 from a private vendor. Upon taking the car to Crown Dodge Dealership in Ventura County for repair, I had to pay roughly $700 out of pocket for the service and rented a car from Hertz for the days I was without my car. However, upon receiving the car back, it still had unresolved issues with the electrical components and dashboard noise. It is unacceptable that the manager at the dealership did not prioritize my safety or the quality of the car I purchased. Since this car is my sole mode of transportation, I demand a prompt resolution to this matter. I expect immediate assistance in addressing these concerns. Thank you.

Was driving normally going 65 mph on the highway when white smoke was emitting from inside the steering wheel. Between the dashboard and steering wheel. Engine was fine and no warning lights came on. Everything ran great except for the white smoke. I don’t know what it could be. Luckily it didn’t catch on fire

I experienced a catastrophic timing chain failure despite prior recall work being performed by Dodge that supposedly resolved their known timing chain issues with the 5.7L hemi with automatic transmission. This failure occurred without any prior warning at a cruising speed of about 65 MPH rendering the car undrivable. There were no warning lights, drivability issues, or signs of the impending failure. This is a well-maintained car with only 80,000 miles, never missing a required oil change and other maintenance tasks. Timing chains should not fail at such low milage - indeed, timing belts will last longer before they fail. This failure occurred on a major highway placing me and other motorists in danger from the car being unmovable and potentially causing a high-speed collision on a 70 MPH highway. If this had occurred less than 0.5 miles down the road, both shoulders of the roadway were closed due to road widening construction. A certified letter with pictures of the timing chain and timing chain guide failures with a receipt for associated repairs was sent the to the manufacturer in December 2023 but they have not given me the courtesy of a reply. The engine was replaced by an independent mechanic at an out-of-pocket cost of $13,217.38 and the pictures were taken at that time by the repair shop.

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. Additionally, the low engine oil warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had reoccurred approximately three or four times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

ABS Module Failure. All repair parts discontinued from 2008-2014 for Manual Transmissions. Safety issue will not allow operations of Anti lock brakes

The clutch stick broke while driving and putting it on gear.

The Gen III hemi has an inherent design flaw in which the rollers making contact with the camshaft will fail, causing damage to the camshaft and causing the engine to misfire. This is due to the camshaft being moved away from the crankshaft as it causes oil starvation. After extensive research it appears to affect cars of various miles and workload. There is no single cause that makes this happen other than a grievous design flaw. The main complaint is that you experience total power loss at higher revs, making it dangerous to drive on the interstate or attempting to merge into traffics as the engine begins to shudder and lose most power. Whether it’s 40K miles or 110K miles, the flaw does not discriminate. After numerous attempts to reach Chrysler technical service on how to prevent this, I’ve been ignored and case numbers deleted. Now this is very important. This causes a misfire which not only destroys catalytic converters, but arrives with no notice. It’s very possible someone may be attempting to pass someone on the interstate and suddenly lose power. My mechanic inspected it and confirmed that the rollers failed, causing causing lifters to not make proper clearance. This needs to be investigated as this engine is in millions of cars. And even if 1% of these failure occur on an interstate, the potential for fatalities is absolutely nothing to ignore. I kindly ask that this matter be investigated. As not everyone can afford the 5K to fix this problem like I can. And due t

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the tire sensor, battery, and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed as a powertrain control module failure, which caused the battery and alternator to fail. The mechanic informed the contact that the powertrain control module needed to be replaced. The dealer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to file a complaint with NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 57,000.

Car stall no warning lite. Car has stalled when driving on the freeway, when exiting the Freeway as well at making turns. This has been happening for about 3 years. Seems to only happen during the summer months. The dodge dealership said that they would not be able to identify the problem unless a warning lite was on or they test drive and it happens. The problem doesn't happen all the time it's sporadic.

The car has an intermittent issue where at highway speeds it will go into almost a limp mode. Basically the check engine light comes on and car loses power and won't go over 45 mph. I have to pull over and shut car off. It will restart and operate normally for a random period of time. Very dangerous when on the highway and have to pull over to the side of the road. From the forums I belong to, this is a very common problem. There are even members that have bought a brand new Challenger and had this happen to them after a few months. The code that usually appears from this is misfire on cylinder 1 and even the dealerships don't know what causes it and hard to diagnose since it happens randomly. Love the car but very annoyed that this keeps happening and no one can figure out the fix

PROBLEM: FUEL FUMES IN THE CABIN OF MY 2010 CHALLENGER STATIONARY AND IN MOTION (CITY AND HIGHWAY). THE FUEL TANK IS LOCATED UNDER THE REAR SEAT IN DODGE CHALLENGERS, CHARGERS AND THE CHRYSLER 300. INTERNET SEARCHES REGARDING FUEL FUMES IN THE CABIN REVEALED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING FUEL PUMP O-RING LEAKS. THERE ARE U-TUBE VIDEOS AVAILABLE FOR THE HOME MECHANIC. HOWEVER, IT IS UNREASONABLE TO EXPECT THAT AN OWNER PERFORM THIS REPAIR DUE TO THE EXPOSURE TO GASOLINE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. MY CHALLENGER IS A LIMITED EDITION MOPAR10 WITH METICULOUS MAINTENANCE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED. IT HAD ONLY 60,958 MILES WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 01/28/21. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP O-RINGS AT A COST OF $396.00 ($96 IN PARTS AND $300 IN LABOR). I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM IN ANY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED, NEW OR USED, SINCE 1978. THE EXPOSURE TO GASOLINE FUMES IS A WELL KNOWN HEALTH HAZARD ESPECIALLY IN A CLOSED ENVIRONMENT SUCH AS A VEHICLE CABIN. FOR THE CAR WITH ONLY 60K MILES WITH METICULOUS MAINTENANCE BEING PERFORMED BY ONE DEALERSHIP AND A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET, WARRANTS AN INVESTIGATION OF DODGE AND CHRYSLER REPAIR RECORDS ON THIS ISSUE. A $400 REPAIR IS 25% PARTS AND 75% LABOR. I RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT THAT A RECALL HAS BE ISSUED. PLEASE NOTE THAT MY DODGE DEALER HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONAL REGARDING CUSTOMER CARE. HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT OFFER TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT FREE OF COST BECAUSE NO RECALL EXISTS ON TH

I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT AN AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY NOT GOING TO FIXED IT BECAUSE MY CAR GOT TO A CAR ACCIDENT BEFORE, SO THEY COULD NOT PERFORM RECALL DUE TO AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE LADY SAID NO DEALERSHIP WILL FIXED IT. I WANT TO KNOW IF I AM GOING TO GET ANY CREDIT SO THAT I CAN GET IT FIXED, OR AM I GOING TO BE THE ONE WHO IS GOING TO PAY TO FIX IT OUT OF MY POCKET. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT [XXX] OR [XXX] PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHMENT. THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON DECEMBER 11, 2019, MY SON WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE FOR WORK WHEN THE HORN STARTING BLOWING IN THE CAR AND WOULDN'T STOP. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. AFTER ABOUT 4 MINUTES IT STOPPED. I TOOK THE CAR TO SUPREME CHEVROLET IN PLAQUEMINE WHERE I PURCHASE THE CAR FROM. THE CAR WAS CHECKED OUT AND TOLD THAT I WAS GOING TO NEED ANOTHER HORN, THEY HAD ORDERED ONE AND IT SHOULD BE IN IN ABOUT 3 DAYS. WHEN I WENT TO THE SERVICE AREA TO PICK UP THE CAR, THE GUY TOLD ME THAT THE HORN AND AIRBAG HAD BEEN TAKEN OUT AND THEY HAD PUT SOMETHING AROUND THE STIRRING WHEEL TO HOLD IT DOWN UNTIL THE HORN CAN BE REPLACED. I HAVE CHECKED BACK MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY ARE STILL SAYING THEY CANNOT LOCATE THE HORN FOR MY CAR. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE A CAR WITHOUT A HORN AND AN AIRBAG. TODAY IS OCTOBER 23, 2020 AND I HAVE YET TO GET A HORN AND AIRBAG FOR THE CAR.*DT*DT*JB*JB
