I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY DIED. I FIGURED IT WAS DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR RECALL. AFTER GETTING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS WATER IN THE INTAKE AND I MUST HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH HIGH WATER. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN THROUGH HIGH WATER. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 2013 DODGE CHALLENGERS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. HOW CAN WATER GET INTO A MOTOR FOR NO REASON AND CAUSE IT TO DIE AS YOU ARE DRIVING? IF YOU DRIVE WHEN IT IS RAINING OR IF YOU HIT A PUDDLE ON THE BLACKTOP IT IS GOING TO CAUSE YOUR CAR TO JUST DIE? IF WASN'T RAINING WHEN IT HAPPENED TO MINE AND THERE WAS NO WATER ON THE ROAD BUT IT HAD RAINED EARLIER IN THE DAY MAYBE 4 HOURS PRIOR TO THE CAR DYING. *TR

RECALL SENT TO HOME P60 / NHTSA 14V-634 FOR 160-AM ALTERNATOR PROBLEM: THE ALTERNATOR DIODES IN YOUR VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE RAPID FAILURE. VARIABILITY IN THE FAILURE MODE RANGES FROM NO OUTPUT, REDUCED OUTPUT, AND/OR A FULLY SHORTED TO GROUND CONDITION. DEPENDENT ON THE ALTERNATOR FAILURE MOD AND TIMING, VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM VOLTAGE MAY DROP TO CRITICAL LEVELS, DISABLING SYSTEMS SUCH AS ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE AND/OR CENTRAL BODY CONTROLLER. THE DRIVER WILL HAVE LIMITED OR NO DETECTION OF THE ALTERNATOR FAILING, WHICH CAN RESULT IN VEHICLE SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING AND/OR AN UNDER-HOOD ELECTRICAL FIRE. CHRYSLER INTENDS TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE FREE OF CHARGE (PARTS AND LABOR) HOWEVER, THE PARTS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION ARE CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE. CHRYSLER IS MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO OBTAIN THESE PARTS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. WILL CONTACT YOU AGAIN BY MAIL, WITH A FOLLOW-UP RECALL NOTICE, WHEN THE REMEDY PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TODAY TO SEE ABOUT ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION 800-853-1403 AND WAS TOLD THAT NONE WAS BEING PROVIDED AT THIS TIME AND THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS AN IRRESPONSIBLE RESPONSE, CONSIDERING THE ITEMS LISTED ABOVE IN THE RECALL SUCH AS ELECTRICAL FIRE AND FAILURE FOR THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE AND CONTROL ABS ETC. DURING DRIVING. I INFORMED THE CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE THAT THIS WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO PUT OUR FAMILY MEMBER BEHIND THE WHEEL AND THAT

THE CAR LEAK GAS IF I PUT MORE THAN 10.00 IN IT.. *TR

MY BREAKS MAKE A VERY LOUD NOISE EVERY TIME I STOP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE MY CAR WAS ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD AND I'M BEING TOLD ITS NOT COVERED THAT ITS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *TR

MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 7,000 MILES AND I'VE NOTICE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF SMALL CHIPS. I'M WONDERING IF THE WINDSHIELD IS DEFECTIVE AND WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SOMETHING LARGER HITS THE GLASS WILL IT BREAK EASIER. I DRIVE THE SAME WAY TO WORK AND MY OTHER VEHICLE WHICH HAS 40,000 DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THIS. *TR

WAS TRAVELLING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 55 TO 60 MPH, BEGAN TO GENTLY ACCELERATE TO PASS CAR GOING IN SAME DIRECTION ON FREEWAY. SUDDENLY THE ENGINE RPM INCREASED RAPIDLY, BUT CAR DID NOT SPEED UP, THEN SUDDENLY IT APPEARED TO SLAM INTO GEAR. PERSON TRAVELLING IN PASSENGER SEAT BEGAN TO LOOK ALL AROUND AS HE THOUGHT WE HAD BEEN HIT. AGAIN, THIS DOES NOT OCCUR WITH PEDAL TO THE FLOOR ACCELERATION, JUST NORMAL DRIVING. CAR HAS DONE THIS MANY TIMES BEFORE, IT SLAMS BACK INTO GEAR SO HARD IT STALLS THE ENGINE. ONCE IN A CURVE IT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT.. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER TWICE BEFORE BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE THE PROBLEM. ON LAST VISIT I TOOK TRANSMISSION GUY FROM DEALER WITH ME AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO DO A SLIGHT VERSION OF WHAT IT DOES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HE STATED THAT HE WANTED TO CHECK THE K2 VALVE. HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD 5 VEHICLES THAT HE HAD FOUND PROBLEMS WITH THE SEALS. CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE DEALER HAVING THIS CHECKED. *TT

MY SON WAS DRIVING THIS CAR GOING BACK TO COLLEGE ON THE I 49. HE NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE TRUNK. HE STOPPED, OPENED THE TRUNK AND IT WAS ON FIRE. LUCKILY HE HAD A BOTTLE OF WATER AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. IN THE PROCESS HE BURNT HIS HAND (MINOR BURN). HE CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WHO SHOWED UP AND TOLD HIM THAT THE BATTERY OR WIRING HAD SHORTED OUT AND CAUSED A BATTERY MELTDOWN AND A FIRE IN THE TRUNK. HIS CLOTHES AND SPEAKERS WERE BURNT. THE CAR IS NOW SITTING AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN ALEXANDRIA LA. DODGE WAS CONTACTED AND SO FAR HAS DENIED ANY MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THIS CAR IS ONE YEAR OLD. I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS TYPE VEHICLE LAST YEAR. THIS MAY BE RELATED. I AM AFRAID THAT EVEN WHEN REPAIRED THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND DODGE SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON FEBRUARY 2013, WE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL INDICATOR WOULD NEVER SHOW A FULL TANK OF GAS. IT WOULD STOP AT 3/4. HOWEVER, WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE ENGINE, ESPECIALLY AROUND A 1/2 OF A TANK, THE GAUGE WOULD REGISTER 1/4 TANK. ON 4/29/2013, MY SPOUSE NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WE DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THE ONBOARD COMPUTER SHOWED 68 MILES TO EMPTY AND WE NEEDED TO TRAVEL 30 MILES. AS SOON AS WE ENTERED THE FREEWAY, THE CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT START. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEALER REPLACED THE SENDING OR (ASCENDING) UNIT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 1275 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ON 1 MAY 2013 WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND MY WIFE DROVE IT HOME, I FOLLOWED IN A CHASE VEHICLE. THAT NIGHT SHE COMPLAINED OF HEADACHES(NOT NORMAL FOR MY SPOUSE). THE NEXT MORNING, 2 MAY 2013, I OPEN THE DOOR OF THE VEHICLE TO PLACE SAFETY SEATS AND WAS OVERCOME BY THE NOXIOUS FUEL FUMES. MY WIFE DECIDED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO WORK AND COULD NOT MAKE IT THERE DUE TO THE FUMES GETTING WORSE. SHE PULLED OVER AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEIR FIX WAS TO USE ODOR NEUTRALIZER WHICH NOW RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNSERVICEABLE. ONE CANNOT STAND THE SMELL. MY SPOUSE FEARS THEY CARE MAY COMBUST AT THE FIRST SIGN OF AN OPEN FLAME AND IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. DEALER WILL NOT ENTERTAIN ANY IDEAS OF CHECKING O-RING SEALS. *TR

WONDER WHY IS IT THAT YOUR WEBSITE 7 DAYS AFTER RECALL HAS NOTHING TO VIEW OF THE RECALL OF 4459 VEHICLES WITH APPROX. 2500 EFFECTED, 7 FIRES (NO INJURIES). *TR

I AM WONDERING WHO DODGE IS LYING TO NHTSA OR THE CONSUMER. I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM DODGE CUSTOMER CARE ON 3/18/2013. A CUSTOMER CARE PERSON ADVISED TO STOP DRIVING THE CHALLENGER AS THERE WAS A POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH FIRE HAZARD. DODGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO FIX, BUT HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP EVERY DAY AND THEY INDICATE THAT NO FIX HAS BEEN ISSUED BY CHRYSLER AND DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO FIND A FIX. I CALL THE CUSTOMER CARE CENTER AND THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THE FIX IS OR TIME FRAME. I LOOKED AT YOUR WEBSITE AND THE RECALL NOTICE INDICATES THAT THE WIRING TO THE STARTER IS GOING TO BE REPLACE. THIS IS NOT WHAT THE DODGE CUSTOMER CARE TOLD ME OR THE DEALERSHIP. EITHER FRAUD IS GOING ON HERE OR CHRYSLER IS TRYING TO COVER THEMSELVES. I NEED AN ANSWER TO FIX MY CAR. *TR

I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE CAR DEALER (DARCARS CHRYSLER JEEP OF ROCKVILLE, MD) THAT I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM ON 19 MARCH 2013. I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS RECALLED FOR A SAFETY ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS THE ENGINE STARTER POSITIVE TERMINAL ON MY VEHICLE COULD SHORT TO GROUND AND CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. AN ELECTRICAL FIRE COULD OCCUR AT ANY TIME REGARDLESS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING OR IS IN THE KEY OFF POSITION. AS OF 22 MARCH 2013, THERE IS NO FIX ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER. FURTHERMORE, THEY (THE DEALERSHIP) CAN NOT GIVE ME A DATE WHEN I WILL RECEIVE MY AUTOMOBILE BACK. *TR
