2010 Dodge Challenger complaints

I HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. ON 8-3-2011 I WENT OUT TO GO TO LUNCH AND NOTICED MY REARVIEW MIRROR HAD FALLEN OFF. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT TOOK A PLUG OF WINDSHIELD WITH IT WHEN IT FELL. IT APPEARS THAT THE WINDSHIELD COULD BE DEFECTIVE. I'M AFRAID THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD MAY JUST SHATTER.I HAVE BEEN WAITING 2 WEEKS FOR AN EXPEDITED ANSWER FROM CHRYSLER. AT THIS TIME THEY HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK PICTURES AND SENT THEM TO CHRYSLER FOR A DETERMINATION. IT'S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE I'M GETTING THE RUN AROUND. *TR

MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION (LESS THAN 20 MPH) WHEN CAR STALLS, OIL LIGHT ILLUMINATES, AND POWER STEERING & BRAKES BECOME ALMOST UNUSABLE. HAD TO STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY, PUT CAR IN PARK, PUSH THE START BUTTON, AND CONTINUE ON TO MY DESTINATION. THIS IS THE 1ST TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. *TR

THIS IS 4TH OR 5TH TIME THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED, HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE COME UP WITH NOTHING. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AS WELL AS THOUSANDS ONLINE, YET THE DEALER STATES THEY ARE UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE. NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND I LOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKING. THE CAR BECOMES VERY HARD TO MANEUVER AND STOP. THE CAR WAS STOPPED IN AN INTERSECTION, AND THANKFULLY THE APPROACHING CARS WERE FAR ENOUGH AWAY TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND START IT UP AND DRIVE OFF WITH NO OTHER ISSUES. THIS INTERMITTENT STALLING IS BECOMING A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED, IF THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ALREADY.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DOWN AN EXPRESSWAY. SHE EXITED AND WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES AS SHE APPROACHED A STOP SIGN. AS THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 15 MPH, THE CAR ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF, WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER. WHEN THE CAR STALLED, IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER AND BRAKE, AS THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL. IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, SHE HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, AND THEN HIT THE START BUTTON. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS, AS THERE WERE OTHER MOTORISTS EXITING THE EXPRESSWAY BEHIND HER. THERE ARE MANY OTHER OPEN COMPLAINTS WITH THE NHTSA FOR THE 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 - EACH DESCRIBING AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM WITH RANDOM STALLING. ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE MANY VERY SIMILAR DESCRIPTIONS OF THIS PROBLEM ON DODGE CHALLENGER OWNER GROUP FORUMS. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND JUST AS OTHER CHALLENGER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO ACTED AS THOUGH THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH MANY DOCUMENTED CASES EXIST. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE, AND LIKE THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REFUSED TO HELP. I SPOKE WITH TWO DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIVES, AND BOTH OF THEM CLAIMED TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE CHALLENGER STALLING ISSUE, AND REFUSED TO TRANSFER ME TO ANOTHER DEPARTMENT THAT MIGHT BE WILLING TO INVESTIGATE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND APPEARS TO BE VERY COMMON WITH THIS PARTICULAR CAR. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS

I BOUGHT A 2010 SRT8 DODGE CHALLENGER A FEW WEEKS AGO WITH JUST 50 MILES ON IT. I NOW HAVE APPROXIMATELY 800. ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER, THE CAR STALLED TWICE, BOTH TIMES WHILE COMING TO A STOP. THE SAME THING HAPPENED YESTERDAY AND TODAY, MAKING IT 4 TIMES IN LESS THAN A MONTH. SIMILAR TO OTHERS, MY DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF THE STALLING IN THEIR DIAGNOSTICS. 3 OUT OF THE 4 TIMES I WAS IN TRAFFIC, WITH THE OTHER TIME OCCURRING IN A PARKING LOT. THERE WAS NO WARNING WHEN IT HAPPENED. AFTER EACH STALL, I HAD TO PUT THE GEAR IN PARK AND RESTART. THE MOTOR STARTS WITH NO HESITATION AFTER A STALL. THERE ARE DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS. WHO IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED? CURRENTLY, I FEEL THE CARE IS TOO UNSAFE TO HAVE MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8, IT HAS 1324 MILES ON IT. TODAY AS I WAS TURNING IN A ROAD THE CAR ENGINE STALLS! I HAD TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT. AFTER LOOKING ON CAR FORUMS THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON WITH THESE CARS. MY QUESTION IS, WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM BY DODGE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, I TOLD HIM TO GO GOOGLE IT ON THE INTERNET AND HE WOULD FIND THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK AND RESTARTED. UPON RESTART, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 15,500. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

CAR HAS STALLED AND SHUT DOWN 3 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING IT IN 08/2010. ALL THREE CASES THE CAR HAD JUST COMPLETED A TURN ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY WHERE LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST IT, WITH NO POWER STEERING, TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ON ALL THREE CASES, THE ONLY INDICATION I HAD THAT THE CAR SHUT OFF WAS THAT THE OIL LIGHT FLASHED ON. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR EASILY THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, BUT THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE. IT FINALLY DID IT AFTER THE THIRD TIME I TRIED IT. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM A FEMALE THAT LOVES HER NEW CAR, BUT MY HUSBAND IS WORRIED ABOUT ME DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY IF IT KEEPS SHUTTING OFF. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND DODGE NEEDS TO GET ON THE BALL AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING WITH THE DEALERSHIP, BUT AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS FROM EVERYONE ELSE, I HAVE LITTLE FAITH THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. DODGE, PLEASE FIX MY CAR!

2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8....VEHICLE STALLS OUT WHEN SLOWING DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW THREE TIMES. ONCE IT HAPPENED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE OTHER 2 TIMES IT HAS OCCURRED ON THE ROAD WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. OIL LIGHT CAME ON IN ONE OF THE INSTANCES BUT I AM UNSURE IF IT CAME ON THE OTHER TWO. WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER THIS MAKES THE CAR DIFFICULT TO STEER. ON ALL THREE OCCASIONS, THE CAR DID START BACK UP WITH THE PUSH BUTTON START, HOWEVER IT DID CRANK OVER VERY SLOWLY. CAR IS GOING INTO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO EVALUATE THIS, HOWEVER IT APPEARS THAT WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAVE THIS HAPPEN, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HOPEFULLY THIS CAN BE REMEDIED BEFORE ANYONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 5 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WITH A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER TEN MINUTES BUT THE OIL WARNING LAMP WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 13,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 9 TO 12 MPH, HE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE FURTHER, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, THE VEHICLE JERKED INTO FOURTH GEAR. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,300. UPDATED 08/31/11 *BF UPDATED 2/9/12 *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TURNING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. WITHIN THIRTY SECONDS, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. A SIMILAR FAILURE OCCURRED ONCE PRIOR. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT BOTH FAILURES OCCURRED WHILE MAKING TURNS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

2010 CHALLENGER SRT8 AUTOMATIC HAS STALLED AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME. IT HAS 4,820 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE ENGINE HAS STALLED. PRIOR REPORT 10354193. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND SLOWED TO TURN LEFT INTO A DRIVEWAY WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED THE CAR WITHOUT A PROBLEM. *TR

NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, PULL UP TO A STOP SIGN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND CAR JUST DIES. LOSE ALL POWER, NO POWER STEERING AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY. THIS IS NOW THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT LOOKED AT AGAIN. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN WHEN CROSSING AN INTERSECTION INSTEAD OF AT A STOP SIGN. IVE READ HUNDREDS OF REPORTS LIKE MINE ON FORUMS AND YET DODGE IS UNAWARE OF THIS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION?? I WONT BE TAKING MY 1 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN THIS CAR... *TT

VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND COMPLETE THE TURN WITHOUT INCIDENT DUE TO THE ALERTNESS OF THE DRIVER BEHIND ME. I DID NOT NOTICE WHICH SYMBOLS, IF ANY, LIT UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. HAVING A VEHICLE SHUT DOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

I WAS MAKING A SLOW U-TURN AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF (STALLED). THIS ACTUALLY THE THIRD INCIDENT SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN DECEMBER. I WAS PULLING ON TO THE FREEWAY FROM A STOP (UNDER 10MPH) AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF (STALLED). ALSO, I WAS SLOWING TO A RED LIGHT (UNDER 10MPH) AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF (STALLED). I DON'T HAVE THE DATE AND MILEAGE OF THE FIRST TWO INCIDENTS, SO I'VE GIVEN THE DETAILS OF THE THIRD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED AND IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE, SHE HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE BUT HE WAS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THAT BOTH THE ACCELERATOR AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WERE ENGAGED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

FOUR PASSENGER DRIVING OVER RR CROSSING WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF! TRIED TO CRANK IT SEVERAL TIMES WOULDN'T START. THREE PASSENGERS GOT OUT OF THE CAR THE LAST COULDN'T REACH THE SEAT LEVER TO GET OUT SO HE WAS HIT BY A TRAIN THE CAR WAS TOTALED HE ONLY OWNED THE CAR A WEEK IT ONLY HAD 400 MILES ON IT THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. *TR

WHEN STARTING THE CAR ON A COLD START, THE TAIL PIPE EMISSION (GAS AND CARBON VAPORS) SURROUND THE VEHICLE AND ENTER THE CAR CABIN THROUGH THE AIR VENTS. (COMES UP THROUGH THE HOOD OF THE CAR) I BELIEVE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS LOCATED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT JUST UNDER THE VENTILATION SYSTEM.. THEY CHECKED TO SEE IF ALL PARTS HAD A TIGHT FIT AND THE SALES MANAGER BELIEVES THERE'S NOT A DEFECT.. *TR

I OWN A 2010 CHALLENGER R/T. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 30MPH, I SLOWED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND VEHICLE LIGHTS WENT OUT, LOSS OF ALL POWER, AND ENGINE TURNED OFF. I COASTED TO CURB AND WITHOUT TOUCHING THE KEY, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED RIGHT BACK UP. AGAIN THE NEXT DAY WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A BUSY STREET, VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE TURNING LEFT, EXCEPT I WAS CROSSING THE LANE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AGAIN, IT RESTARTED WITH NO HELP FROM ME. NO ACCIDENT CAUSED, BUT AN ONCOMING VEHICLE CAME TO ABOUT 3 FEET OF MY DRIVERS DOOR BEFORE STOPPING. (40MPH STREET) I READ THAT THIS IS OCCURRING A LOT WITH 08-10 CHALLENGERS AND WOULD LOVE IT FIXED BEFORE MY 17Y/O DAUGHTER TAKES IT OUT AND GETS T-BONED AND INJURED OR WORSE. *TR

AFTER EXITING HIGHWAY, ENGINE STALLED WHEN TRAVELING ABOUT 5 MPH. WAS ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE WITHOUT INCIDENT. WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY WARNING LIGHTS PRIOR TO INCIDENT. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE SAME HAPPENED, AFTER MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO DRIVEWAY, ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE TRAVELING AT 5 MPH. WAS ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE AND CONTINUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V200000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE). HE STATED THAT AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER, THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE PART NEEDED FOR REPAIRS WOULD BE UNAVAILABLE FOR SIX MONTHS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED HIM TO CONTINUE CALLING THE DEALER UNTIL THE PART BECAME AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100.

STEERING COLUMN LOUD SNAP POP. STEERING COLUMN REINFORCEMENT BEAM CRACKED, INCLUDED, BROKEN.

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS. I HAVE ABOUT 6500 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND AGAIN TODAY. I TOOK VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER WHEN IT HAPPENED TODAY. THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON IT. ALMOST TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE WHEN IT STALLS....EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE OR TURN STEERING WHEEL....AND I AM 6' 3" TALL AND OVER 200 LBS. COULDN'T IMAGINE IF THIS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE WHEN SHE IS DRIVING THE CAR. *TR

MY 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER HAS RANDOMLY SHUT OFF FOUR TIMES IN MY PAST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. TWICE IN BRAKING SITUATIONS COMING TO A REDLIGHT, AND TWICE IN PARKING LOTS AT LOW SPEEDS, THANK GOD! UNTIL THE VEHICLE HAS COME TO A STOP POWER STEERING AND BRAKES ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY SO EVASION OF OTHER CARS, PEDESTRIANS, PROPERTY BECOMES EXTREMELY LIMITED. I AM LUCKY THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON FASTER ROADS, HOWEVER I AM AWARE OF OTHER CONSUMERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN, AND ARE NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE SIMILAR CARS. *TR

I USED MY REMOTE START TO WARM-UP MY 2010 CHALLENGER RT. I LEFT FOR WORK AND TRAVELED AT 20 MPH IN MY SUBDIVISION. I ARRIVED AT INTERSECTION TO MAKE AT TURN ONTO A 45 MPH STREET AND TRAVELED ABOUT 1 MILE TO LIGHT STOPPED AND MADE A RIGHT TURN ONTO ANOTHER 45 MPH STREET (4 LANES). AS I INCREASED SPEED TO 45 LIMIT I FELT THE GAS PEDAL PULL AWAY FROM MY FOOT AND THE CAR BEGAN TO QUICKLY SPEED UP. I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN THE BRAKE THINKING THAT THE PEDAL WAS STUCK DUE TO COLD WEATHER 18 DEGREES. IT JUST KEPT INCREASING IN SPEED. I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL TO TAKE TORQUE OFF THE DRIVE TRAIN. I LET IT COAST INTO THE NEXT SIDE STREET AND PUT IT INTO PARK. THE ENGINE WAS IDLING AT 4000 RPM. I SHUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT IMMEDIATELY JUMPED BACK UP TO 4000 RPM. I HAD TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE WAY SO I PULLED IT INTO A CUL-DE-SAC RIDING THE BRAKE WITH BOTH FEET. AGAIN, I SHUT IT OFF, WAITED A LITTLE AND RESTARTED IT. AGAIN, IT JUMPED TO 4000 RPM. I CALLED MY WIFE AND TOLD HER WHAT HAD HAPPENED. SHE SUGGESTED THAT I BRING IT HOME AND TAKE OUR OTHER CAR. I DECIDED TO TRY SHUTTING IT DOWN AGAIN. AGAIN WHEN I STARTED IT JUMPED TO 4000 RPM. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT HOME AND RODE THE BRAKE BACK TO THE STOP IN ORDER TO MAKE THE LEFT TURN TO GO HOME. THE TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC GOING THAT DIRECTION WAS NON-STOP SO I ELECTED TO AVOID GOING INTO A CONGESTED SITUATION NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WOULD DO. I DECIDED TO GO RIGHT SINCE THERE WERE NO CARS GOING THAT DIRECTION TO WORRY ABOUT HIT

BRAKES ARE SQUEALING AFTER DRIVING FOR 15 MINUTES, HAVE HAD REPAIRED ONCE ALREADY AND ARE STILL DOING THE SAME THING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 18,000.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER IN JANUARY 2010. THE CERAMIC BRAKES BEGAN SQUEAKING IN APRIL 2010. IT OCCURS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 5 MINUTES AND THE BRAKES HAVE "HEATED" UP. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO 3 DIFFERENT PLACES OVER 6 VISITS AND DURING EACH OIL CHANGE AND THE SAME RESULTS ARE: YOUR BRAKES ARE GOOD, NO REPLACEMENT NEEDED, WE REMOVED SOME DUST (IN 2 CASES, THE REMOVED SOME TYPE OF FLUID) AND YOUR BRAKES ARE FINE. NO ONE WOULD REPLACE THEM WHILE THEY WERE UNDER THE 12K MILE WARRANTY AND NOW, I CURRENTLY SIT AT 15K -- WITH THESE ANNOYING, HIGH PITCHED, SQUEALLY BRAKES. PLEASE LOOK INTO OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH CHALLENGERS (2010) AND BRAKE PROBLEMS. THANK YOU. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH THE HEADLINER STARTED TO FALL IN THE CONTACTS FACE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE HEADLINER REPLACED TWICE; HOWEVER, NEITHER OF THE REPAIRS REMEDIED THE ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE HEADLINER NEEDED TO BE REDESIGNED AND HAS AGREED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

I HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SE FULLY LOADED WITH LEATHER SEATS MY GIG RADIO AND SUNROOF. WHEN I LET MY SUNROOF OPEN WHILE DRIVEN AROUND 35 MILES PER HOUR THE HEADLINER BEGINS TO FALL. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH AND THE PROBLEM BEGAN IN APRIL AND I HAVE HAD THE HEADLINER REPLACED TWICE. I WAS TOLD BYE A SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE HEADLINER HAD TO BE REDESIGNED. *TR

2010 SRT8 CHALLENGER STALLS AFTER RUNNING HIGHWAY SPEEDS (70-80 MPH) ON SLOW DOWN AS TO GET OFF A EXIT RAMP, OR TO TURN INTO A REST STOP, GAS STATION. PROPER SPEED TO GEAR RATIO ASSUMED. CLUTCH FULLY SUPPRESSED OR WHILE MOVING. ALSO STALLS ON TAKE OFF (TRAFFIC LIGHT, STOP SIGN) IN ROLLING CONDITION, AGAIN PROPER SPEED TO GEAR RATIO ASSUMED. IDENTIFIERS: LOW OIL LIGHT, NO STEERING, ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES OF A STALLED VEHICLE. SOMETIMES WILL START IMMEDIATELY SOMETIMES NOT. DEALER STATES NO CODES NO ISSUES. *TR

ENGINE STALL OUT ON MY 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 6.1L HEMI. THE CAR HAS STALLED OUT UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS FOUR TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR APRIL 3, 2010. TWICE WHILE MAKING A SLOW TURN FROM A STOP, ONCE FROM WHILE AT SPEED 35MPH ON A STEADY RUN DOWN A CITY BLOCK, AND AGAIN WHILE COMING TO STOP AT A LIGHT. I TOOK THE CHALLENGER IN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN APRIL AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND RECENTLY TOOK THE CAR BACK IN LAST WEEKEND AND THEY SAID THE ABS SENSOR MODULE (PART #68048305AC MODULE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYS) HAD GONE BAD AND MAY BE CAUSING THE ISSUE. I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES THIS WEEK BUT I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT THIS ISSUE MAY BE RESOLVED YET. *TR

ENGINE STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. *TR

2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 AUTOMATIC. TRAVELING TO WORK ON FREEWAY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AROUND 15-20 MPH. MY CAR STALLED AND I HAD TO COAST OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. 20 MINUTES LATER I STARTED THE CAR AND CONTINUED TO WORK. I THEN HAD CAR TOWED TO MAK HAIK DODGE ON 1-45 NORTH IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AFTER KEEPING MY CAR FOR 24 HOURS. THE STALLING CONDITION HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE CAR ONLY HAD AROUND 450 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THE STALL OCCURRED, I NOW HAVE AROUND 1100 MILES ON THE CAR. *TR

I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP AND TURN RIGHT TO ENTER THE FREEWAY AS THE CAR ROLLED TO A STOP THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE DIED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS CAR:2010 DODGE R/T CHALLENGER. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER I RESTARTED THE ENGINE IN NEUTRAL THEN SHIFTED TO DRIVE. I HAD EXITED THE FREEWAY TURNED RIGHT WENT UP AN INCLINE AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND THE ENGINE STALLED IN TRAFFIC. *TR

HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR APPROX. 1.5 HOURS, APPROACHED A RED LIGHT AND TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME HAD STOPPED ABRUPTLY FORCING ME TO MAKE A FAST STOP. NOT A FULL FORCE STOP BUT A QUICK REACTION/SUDDEN STOP. THEN MY CAR STALLED OUT AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE CAR. IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. I PUT IT IN DRIVE BUT IT HESITATED TO MOVE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3-5 SECONDS, THEN TOOK OFF. THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 2000 MILES ON IT. CURRENTLY IT HAS ALMOST 3000 MILES. THIS HAD HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE THIS INCIDENT ALSO AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO THE STREET I LIVE ON. SAME THING, CAR RESTARTED RIGHT UP. THAT WAS WITH ABOUT 1000 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY CAN DETECT SOMETHING. HOWEVER, I'VE READ ON SOME FORUMS THAT IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO THESE CARS QUITE A BIT IN AUTOMATICS 5.7 AND 6.1 MOTORS. MY FEAR IS THAT ME OR A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY, AS WELL AS SOME UNSUSPECTING OTHER DRIVER WILL RUN INTO EITHER MY BACK END OR FROM THE SIDE IF STALLS AGAIN WHILE MAKING A TURN ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THANK YOU. *TR

THE CAR STALLS WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAVE HAD IT STALL IN TRAFFIC AND AT INTERSECTIONS AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT A FEW TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES IN THE 4500 MILES ON THE CAR. IT IS VERY SCARY. THE DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR FOR OVER TWO WEEKS WITH NO END IN SIGHT. THE LAST OCCURRENCE WAS ON THE 13TH OF AUGUST. THE CAR SOMETIMES WILL NOT MOVE AFTER IT IS RESTARTED AND MUST BE TURNED ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT WILL DRIVE. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 IN JUNE. THERE HAS BEEN 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHERE THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. I BRAKE TO TURN AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AND I SEE THE OIL LIGHT COME ON BRIEFLY. LUCKILY, I HAVEN'T BEEN REAR ENDED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AFTER KEEPING IT FOR A WEEK, THEY CAME BACK AND SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. IN ADDITION, THE HEADLINER FOR THE SUNROOF HANGS DOWN AND THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT IT IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS COMPLAINT....DOES IT TAKE A PERSON GETTING KILLED BEFORE DODGE RECALLS THESE CARS. *TR

2 INCIDENTS IN 2010 SRT CHALLENGER OF VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. 1ST INCIDENT WAS AFTER STOPPING AT STOPLIGHT; OIL LIGHT FLASHED BRIEFLY THEN ENGINE SHUT OFF. 2ND INCIDENT WAS DURING A RIGHT TURN INTO A SHOPPING CENTER; ENGINE SHUT OFF JUST AS PULLED OFF THE MAIN ROAD; DID NOT NOTICE ANY INDICATOR LIGHTS AS WAS CONCERNED ABOUT VEHICLES BEHIND ME. BOTH TIMES CAR WAS ABLE TO BE STARTED (KEYLESS PUSHBUTTON START) WITHIN ONE OR TWO PRESSES OF START BUTTON. I HAVE 1760 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. INCIDENTS SEPARATED BY ABOUT 2 MONTHS (CAR PURCHASED 2/2010). HAVE READ ON FORUMS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER CHALLENGERS. REPORT TO NHTSA WAS RECOMMENDED TO ANOTHER OWNER BY DEALER. *TR

2010 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHILE TURNING RIGHT CAR STALLS AND COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF REQUIRING THE CAR TO BE PUT INTO PARK AND RESTARTED. FORTUNATELY ON BOTH OCCASIONS MY WIFE WAS NOT REAR ENDED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE OWNING THE CAR. DEALERSHIP WAS "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE" THE ISSUE AND NO FIX IS KNOWN. SRT ENGINEERS HAVE STATED IN ONLINE FORUMS THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ARE WORKING ON A FIX. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL DODGE VEHICLE MODELS, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF OWNERS POSTING STORIES ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT-8. THE CONTACT STATED THAT OCCASIONALLY, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. SHE DROVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY AFTER IT WAS RESTARTED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE TIMES SINCE APRIL 2010. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THREE TIMES BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,646. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 165.

2010 CHALLENGER SRT8 - CAR SHUT DOWN AT RED LIGHT. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED ONCE, BUT FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE ON THE INTERNET, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHERS WHO OWN THIS MODEL AND YEAR CAR. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEM SUCH AS THIS AND THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING UNLESS THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON. MY HUSBAND THINKS THAT THIS IS A COMPUTER PROBLEM AND HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR NOT COMMUNICATING PROPERLY TO THE COMPUTER AND WHEN THE OIL PRESSURE DROPS, IT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO CUT OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM ALMOST AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CARE NOW BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS COULD HAPPEN AT HIGH SPEED. *TR

GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A TIRE HANDLING ISSUE. SIZE 245/45ZR/20. ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS WITH RAIN GROOVES, THE TIRES ARE UNSTABLE, FOLLOW THE RAIN GROOVES, YOU CAN NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT, THE CAR DRIFTS WITH THE ROAD SURFACE, THE TIRES WILL NOT TRACK CORRECTLY WHILE CORNERING. *TR

2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 STALLS WHEN DEPRESSING BRAKE COMING TO A STOP. DOES IT INTERMITTENTLY. FEAR IT MIGHT DO IT AT THE WRONG TIME CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 3,000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS STALLED AT LEAST 10 DIFFERENT TIMES. DODGE TOOK CAR IN AND HAD NO SOLUTION TO PROBLEM OTHER THAN REPLACING OR UPDATING LATEST SOFTWARE UPDATES. AFTER THAT WAS DONE CAR STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. CAR HAS TO BE PUT IN PARK THEN RESTARTED. SOMETIMES TWICE BEFORE VEHICLE WILL MOVE. *TR

NORMAL DRIVING, PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE ENGINE JUST STALLS WHILE STILL MOVING. POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO RESTART THE CAR BEFORE DRIVING OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, NO ISSUES AND NO WARNING LIGHTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ENTERING THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPEED UP TO APPROXIMATELY 90 MPH. HE APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. HE DROVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. WHEN HE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE RPMS INCREASED EXCESSIVELY. HE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, MANUALLY PULLED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL UP, AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS MECHANICAL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, RESET THE COMPUTER AND RESET THE SENSOR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY FAILURES AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,290.

ALL HEATER, AC AND REAR DEFROSTER NOT WORKING INCLUDING ALL LIGHTS IN DIALS, CAR BLOWS ONLY HOT AIR INCLUDING WHEN FAN IS OFF. *TR

MY HEADLINER TO MY NEW 2010 RT CHALLENGER IS HANGING DOWN IN THE BACK WINDOW. THE REASON IS IT IS NOT CORRECTLY ATTACHED. I WENT MY LOCAL DEALER SAN MARCOS DODGE AND MADE THEM AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY 'ALL" COME FROM DODGE THAT WAY. THEY PROCEEDED TO SHOW ME ANOTHER NEW 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER STR8 WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EITHER THAT'S JUST THE WAY THEY COME. I WENT TO A DODGE FORUM AND SINCE MY POSTING ON FEB THE 11TH I NOW HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURES WARRANTY UNDER DEFECTS IN MATERIAL WORKMANSHIP. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS IF THIS HEADLINER DROPS INTO THE REAR WINDOW AREA AND WE LOSE SIGHT OF TRAFFIC A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT COULD TAKE PLACE POSSIBLY FATAL BECAUSE I DO ALOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING IN AUSTIN TX TO SAN MARCOS TX TO GO TO WORK DAILY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS LARGE TRUCKS I MUST NAVIGATE DAILY AROUND. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS SINCE I SEEM TO HAVE LITTLE RECOURSE WITH THE DEALER OR THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION. *TR
