ONE OF THE TWO FUEL PUMPS IN MY 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER HAD SOME SORT OF CRACK AND STARTED LEAKING. IT HAS RIGHT OVER 60,000 MILES ON IT. WE KEEP THIS CAR IN THE GARAGE ATTACHED TO ARE HOME. WE CAME HOME ONE DAY RIGHT AFTER WE FILLED THE GAS TANK UP ON THE CAR AND WE SMELLED GAS WHEN WE CAME HOME THAT DAY AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS ON ELF THE OTHER THINGS IN THE GARAGE SO WE REMOVED THAT THING. THE NEXT MORNING WE WOKE UP AND THE SMELL CAME IN THE HOUSE SO I WENT ONLINE AND STARTED LOOKING UP GAS SMELLS FROM 2010 CHALLENGER AND FOUND A FORUM OF CHALLENGER CAR OWNERS FROM 2009-2012 AND THEY ALL SAID IT WAS THEIR FUEL PUMP LEAKING SO I WENT HOME AND HOPED THE SWEAT UP AND COVER AND SHARE ENOUGH THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING GAS AND IT WAS DRIPPING ALL OVER AND RUNNING DON THE TANK WE REMOVED THE CAR FROM THE GARAGE AND IT NEVER WENT AWAY WE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD NOT HELP US EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A FAULT IN THE PUMPS IN THE CARS.

MY PASSENGER AIRBAG DASH LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND I HAVE SEEN RECALLS ONLINE BUT WHEN I PUT IN MY VIN IT SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2015 BUT THE LIGHT CAME ON IN 2017 AND MY MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS A RECALL BUT WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING FOR A RECALL SPECIFICALLY FOR MY CAR BUT I STILL HAVE NOT SEEN IT, EVEN THOUGH THE YEAR AND MODEL OF MY CAR HAS HAD A RECALL AND I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHY.
APPROX., DECEMBER 2017 (DONT REMEMBER EXACT DATE) MY TIRE SENSOR GAUGE KEPT COMING ON BUT THE TIRE IT INDICATED THAT HAD LOW AIR WAS NOT THE CORRECT TIRE. NOW FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS IT IS ON EVERYTIME I START AND DRIVE MY CAR AND SHOWS THAT THE TWO PASSENGER TIRES ARE LOW (FRONT 24 PSI AND BACK 0 PSI) BUT NEITHER TIRE IS FLAT OR LOW ON AIR, IN FACT NONE OF MY TIRES ARE LOW BUT I CANNOT TRUST WHAT TIRE THE GAUGE TELLS ME BECAUSE IT HAS NEVER BEEN ACCURATE SINCE IT BEGAN COMING ON AT THE END OF 2017. IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM OR IS THERE A WAY TO FIX IT SO IT CALCULATES THE CORRECT TIRES?
MY 2010 CHALLENGER RT HAS THE 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN IT AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR, ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THERE IS NO SECOND GEAR THERE, FOUND OUT THERE IS A STAR CASE FOR THE WRONG GREASE WAS PUT ON THE INPUT SHAFTS AND IT'S MESSING UP TRANNY'S AND THE MILES ON MY CAR IS 50,131 AND THE STAR CASE NUMBER STAR CASE#-IT'S K38556860 AND IT'S A VALID CASE AND IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT AND ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK CAUSE IT HAPPENED IN A TURN SO I MORELESS HAD TO GO FROM 1ST TO 3RD GEAR
MY 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE ENGINE TURNS OFF AND I LOSE POWER STEERING. IT DOES THIS REPEATEDLY WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS BUT THE POWER STEERING MAKES IT VERY HARD TO TURN THE VEHICLE WHICH MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC OR ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK PRESS MY IGNITION START BUTTON TO TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY TO THE OFF POSITION AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATE AFTER THIS HAPPENS SO THE DODGE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED MY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED AND MY ESP, TRACTION CONTROL AND ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WAS DISABLED AND HASN'T BEEN ENABLED. AFTER STARTING THE CAR THE ESP, TC AND ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATE AND STAY ON. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE ARE NO TROUBLE CODES OR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT THOUSANDS OF OWNERS OF DODGE CHALLENGERS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THE SAME RESULT THAT THE DODGE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS CAN NOT FIND OR DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS RANDOM ENGINE SHUT OFF HAS HAPPENED AROUND 40 TIMES. IT'S HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY IN MOTION AT SPEEDS OF 75 MPH ON THE CITY STREET FROM 30-50 MPH AND WHEN LEAVING AN INTERSECTION AFTER THE STOP LIGHT TURNS GREEN LEAVING ME STOPPED IN THE
THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION AT 47,000 MILES IS HAVING A VERY HARD TIME SHIFTING INTO AND OUT OF GEAR AT IDLE. WITH CLUTCH PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR IT WILL NOT GO INTO OR OUT OF FIRST GEAR OR REVERSE. AFTER GETTING IT INTO GEAR AND DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FINE. THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH AND GREASE USED ON THIS YEAR MODEL
A BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON MY DASH, A FEW MINUTES LATER SEVERAL INDICATOR FLASHED ON (THE ABS, THE BRAKE, AND ESP/BAS FLASHED ON AND MY VEHICLE POWERED OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS EXTREMELEY DANGEROUS AND HAVE BEEN READING THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON DODGE MODELS. HOW CAN THIS BE CORRECTED?! IF THIS IS A REPEAT PROBLEM, WHY ISN'T IT YET A RECALL? THE CAR IS JUST SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING.
TAKATA AIRBAG, FUEL SYSTEM, KEY MODULE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE CAR STALLED WHILE IT WAS STATIONARY I HAD IT TOWED TO DODGE AND THEY SAID THE FUEL PUMPS WE'RE BAD, GOT FUEL PUMPS CHANGED CAR STILL WON'T START. THE LIGHTS IN THE INTERIOR WON'T COME ON, THE DOORS LOCKED AND UNLOCK OUT OF THE BLUE, THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION.

RECALL MALFUNCTION
I WAS GOING ABOUT 50 MILES PER HOUR ON A BUSY FREEWAY WHEN MY ABS LIGHT TURNED ON LIGHTS IN THE PANEL START TO FLICKER AND ENGINE SHUTS OFF. THIS IS ONE OF MANY OCCURANCES ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP UNDER MY MOPAR SERVICE CONTRACT AND THEY REPLACED ALTERNATOR. ONE MONTH LATER ENGINE TURNS OFF AGAIN. 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS.
THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I UNLOCK THE DOOR WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND WHEN I JUST OPEN THE DOOR IT CLICKS ABOUT 20-25 TIME OH YES AND WHEN I ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE TO A COLDER SETTING IT IS VERY ANNOYING I HAVE T NOTICED ANYTHING ELSE
SHIFTING ISSUE WITH MANUAL 2010 CHALLENGER R/T. EXPERIENCING A NIBBLE WHEN SHIFTING AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T SHIFT INTO 3RD WHEN COLD. MATCHES THE DESCRIPTION FROM OTHER 2009-2010 DRIVERS IN ON-LINE CHALLENGER FORUMS UNDER STAR CASE # K38556860 & S1021000004 (BAD GREASE USED ON TR-6060. MY LOCAL DEALER AND CHRYSLER WARRANTY HOTLINE CLAIM TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT.
CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN
ON A NORMAL LEFT TURN THE ENGINE STALLED.
MY CAR LOST COMPLETE POWER WHILE TURNING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. THE VEHICLE IS DEAD AND WILL NOT START. THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING. THIS IS A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER HAVING A TIMING CHAIN RECALL REPAIR. DID THE CHAIN FAIL ANYWAY?
CAR STARTING SMELLING STRONGLY OF GASOLINE AFTER FILLING TANK. THE SMELL MAKES YOU VERY LIGHT HEADED AND IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I PARKED THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY AND GAS IS DRIPPING FROM 2 SPOTS IN FRONT OF THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE. I AM AFRAID TO START IT TO DRIVE IT TO A DEALER THINKING IT WILL CATCH ON FIRE. I HAVE CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO COME AND TAKE IT TO A DEALER. I AM TRYING TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT SO NOT ONE COMES AROUND IT WITH A CIGARETTE OR OTHER SOURCE OF IGNITION. MY HOUSE AND 2 GARAGES ARE IN DANGER OF THE LEAKING GAS UNTIL I CAN GET THE CAR TOWED AWAY FROM MY PROPERTY.
I HAD A TAKATA DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG RECALLED AND REPLACED. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, PERHAPS A YEAR, I RECEIVED VIA MAIL A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG; HOWEVER, THERE WERE NO AVAILABLE PARTS TO FIX IT. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. I'M WONDERING WHAT THE STATUS IS? HOW DO I GET THIS REPAIRED ETC. SHOULD I HAVE THE AIRBAG DISABLED? WILL ANYONE EVEN PERFORM THAT SERVICE?
TRIED TO START THE CAR AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS AND RADIO WORKED JUST FINE. GOT SOMEONE TO GIVE ME A JUMP AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP SO I WENT AND BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND THAT WORKED FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS THEN THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER 2 1/2 DAYS THEY SAY IT'S THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE, OR THE TIPM.
2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 LIMITED EDITION (SRT8). THE SRT8'S TIRES LOSE AIR PRESSURE (5-10 POUNDS) WHENEVER A POTHOLE'S IS ENCOUNTERED OR GOING OVER A CURB LIP GREATER THAN ONE (1) INCH. DEALERSHIPS THAT PROVIDE AUTHORIZED FACTORY SERVICE HAVE TOLD ME THAT TIRE PRESSURE LOSS IS NORMAL AS THE SRT8 HAS FACTORY (OEM) ALUMINUM WHEELS THAT DEVELOP CRACKS IN THE CENTER OF THE WHEELS/RIMS FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THIS IS DEEMED UNACCEPTABLE AS THE SRT8 DOES NOT COME EQUIPPED WITH A SPARE TIRE AND THE TIRE INFLATOR KIT PROVIDED BY DODGE DOES NOT SEAL THE FACTORY (OEM) SRT8 ALUMINUM WHEELS/RIMS WHEN IT IS CRACKED. TIRE AIR PRESSURE LOSS OCCURS DRIVING AT NORMAL ROADWAY SPEEDS AS WELL AS UNDER 15 MILES PER HOUR TRAVELLING OVER DRIVEWAY AND, E.G., SHOPPING MALL ENTRANCES, CHANGES IN PAVEMENT GRADE, ETC.

TAKATA RECALL (S43 - 16V-352, JULY 1, 2016) - "THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING MAY RUPTURE WHILE DEPLOYING DURING A CRASH. THE POTENTIAL FOR SUCH RUPTURES MAY OCCUR IN SOME OF THE SUBJECT AIRBAG INFLATORS AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF EXPOSURE TO PERSISTENT CONDITIONS OF HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AND/OR HEAT AGING. IN THE EVENT OF A FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENT(S) COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS." I OWN A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER AND AM STILL WAITING TO HAVE THIS RECALL FIXED. THERE WAS A SIMILAR RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE JULY 14, 2015 (R37 / 15V-444) -"THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING IN YOUR VEHICLE MAY RUPTURE, DUE TO EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE, DURING NORMAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EVENTS. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. THE INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE WITH METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." AN INFLATOR RUPTURE MAY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE THAT I USE TO TRANSPORT MY TEENAGER AND TODDLER. I AM AT RISK EVERY DAY WHEN I AM DRIVING MY VEHICLE. KNOWING THAT THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM EXISTS AND CANNOT BE FIXED IS EXTREMELY UNSETTLING.

TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR IS FINE BUT I HAVE BEEN WAITING 7 MONTHS FOR RECALL PARTS TO REPLACE MY AIRBAG INFLATOR. R37/NHTSA 15V-444. FIAT CHRYLSER AMERICA'S RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER (18008531403) IS JUST AN ANSWERING SERVICE WITH NO ACTUAL INFORMATION ABOUT AVAILABILITY OF PARTS AND ABOUT LIMITS TO HOW MANY PARTS A DEALER CAN ORDER. BUT THE REPRESENTATIVE MARK FROM THE RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER SAYS PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO BE ORDERED. MY LOCAL DEALER, NYLE MAXWELL SUPERCENTER, SAYS THAT FIAT CHRYSLER ONLY ALLOWS THEM TO ORDER 10 AT A TIME, AND THE 10 PARTS THEY HAVE ON HAND ARE ALREADY SCHEDULED TO BE USED FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S VEHICLES. THERE'S NO WAY TO FIND OUT WHY FIAT CHRYSLER ONLY ALLOWS THEM TO ORDER 10 AT A TIME, AND NYLE MAXWELL SUPERCENTER CLAIMS THERE'S NO WAY TO SPECIAL ORDER THE PART THAT I NEED, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE PART IS AVAILABLE.

What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
