TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN TOWN AND THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL L08 WAS ONLY FOR THE V6 MOTORS AND I HAD TO FIX IT MYSELF.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS VEHICLE IS USED BY MY SON WHO CAR POOLS TO SCHOOL. THE DISTANCE IS APPROX 35 - 45 MINUTE COMMUTE EACH WAY. WHILE I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL , I DON'T THINK THE SOLUTION IS SATISFACTORY. SINCE THIS VEHICLE HAS A PASSENGER MOST EVERY DAY I THINK DODGE SHOULD PROVIDE A LOANER/RENTAL UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. LIVES ARE AT STAKE!

I WAS DRIVING WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. I THEN WENT TO A REPAIR SHOP, I WAS TOLD THAT ONE OF THE BLADES ON THE FAN HAD BROKE AND PUT A HOLE IN MY RADIATOR. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THE LADY I SPOKE WITH DID KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT SHE STATED THAT MY CAR WAS MADE IN A DIFFERENT FACTORY SO I WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. WHICH I THINK IS UNFAIR SINCE I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM LIKE EVERYONE ELSE

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE RIDING IN OUR VEHICLE, ALL OF A SUDDEN WE HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND COME FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND THEN OBSERVED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ON THE VEHICLE RISING, AND THE RED LIGHT SUDDENLY APPEARED. WE WERE ONLY MINUTES AWAY FROM OUR HOME WHEN THIS OCCURRED, SO WE WERE ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY RETURNED HOME. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE HOOD WAS OPENED AND WE BOTH OBSERVED A PLASTIC FAN BLADE BROKEN AND HANGING OUT OF THE FAN'S CASING. WE ALSO OBSERVED FLUID INSIDE OF THE HOOD UNDERNEATH OF THW LINE DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE BROKEN HANGING FAN BLADE. WE ALSO OBSERVED FLUID ON THE GROUND DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH OF THIS LINE. VEHICLE HAS 137,000 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED TO GO INTO SHOP MONDAY MORNING.

MY RADIATOR FAN MOTOR ASSEMBLY LOCKED UP AND A BLADE CAME OFF. THE BLADE WENT INTO THE RADIATOR. IT DAMANGED THE RADIATOR AND LEFT ME STRANDED. HAD NO PRIER NOISES OR PROLEMS. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP. COST ME $677.27 TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR, THE HOESE, ANTIFREEZE, HOSE CLAMPS AND RADIATOR FAN MOTOR ASSEMLY. THE GUY THAT FIXED MINE SAID HE SEE THIS EVERY WEEK IN CHARGERS. INFACT OUR WHOLE POLICE DEPARTMENT SWITCHED FROM CHARGES FOR THIS REASON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DODGE # AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING TO DO TO HELP OUT BECAUSE OF AGE AND MILEAGE OF CARE. WASN'T HAPPY BECAUSE ONLINE THERE ARE PLENTY OF DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.MY DEALERSHIP DOESN'T FIX THEM UNLESS THEY ARE UNDERWARRANTY. THEY SEND THEM OUT TO THE SAME GUY I WENT TO IF THEY ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. I GUESS NOT TO SHOW ON THEIR BOOKS THE PROBLEM.

THE CAR STOPPED IN MIDDLE OF FREEWAY IT MOVES IN MOTION WITHOUT FEET ON GAS

AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY IN THE FAST LANE THE VEHICLE STALLS. I'M ABLE TO MANEUVER ACROSS ALL THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET ON THE SHOULDER AND CALL AAA ROADSIDE. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK GETS TO MY LOCATION HE PUTS 2 GALLONS OF GAS IN MY TANK AND THE VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT UP. MEANWHILE THE GAS GAUGE IS SHOWING A QUARTER TANK. AFTER LOOKING UP IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE I CAME ACROSS NUMEROUS ONLINE POSTS STATING THAT THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THEM AS WELL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS IT CAN RESULT IN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT FROM LOSING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINE STALLING OUT FROM FUEL STARVATION AND THE GAS GAUGE SHOWING A QUARTER TANK.

THE CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT OCCURRED WHILE BRAKING ON A CITY STREET. PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND STARTED IT UP AGAIN. DROVE IT HOME.

COOLING FAN BLADES SHATTERED AND PUNCTURED RADIATOR WHILE CAR WAS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT IDLE. CAUSED LOSS OF COOLANT AND COOLING SYSTEM FAILURE. NO EXTERNAL CAUSE FOR DEFECT FOUND. COST OF REPAIR ESTIMATED $1000.00

TAKATA RECALL - WHILE EXITING A HIGHWAY INTO A SHOPPING CENTER, MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. MY WIFE WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED. THIS EPISODE WAS VERY FRIGHTENING. VERY UNSAFE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS, BUT THIS DESPERATELY NEEDS RECALLING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN IN THIS MATTER. *TR

I PUT CAR IN THE PARK POSITION TO GET OUT OF THE CAR TO GET SOMETHING. I TURNED AROUND AND MY CAR WAS REVERSING DOWN THE STREET. I HAD TO RUN AND OPEN THE DOOR AND JUMP IN THE CAR TO STOP IT. IT WAS IN REVERSE WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR. I WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER WITH 98,000 MILES JUST THREW A COOLING FAN BLADE THROUGH THE RADIATOR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, LEAVING ME ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. I KNOW THIS IS A RE-OCCURRING ISSUE BECAUSE I AM ON THE CITY COUNCIL FOR A SMALL SUBURB OF HOUSTON AND WE HAD SEVERAL POLICE CARS DO THE SAME THING. SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT COULD LEAVE THE DRIVER BROKEN DOWN IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION (INCLEMENT WEATHER, LATE AT NIGHT, BAD PART OF TOWN), I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE REPAIR COSTS A LITTLE UNDER $1,000 TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND COOLING ASSEMBLY.

I'VE HAD MANY ISSUES WRONG WITH MY CAR. THE FIRST COMPLAINT I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS IS HOW THE CAR SHUTS OFF ON ME WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ON BUSY STREETS, MY CAR WILL SHUT OFF, BUT IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP. THIS IS A DANGEROUS HAZARD AND SAFETY CONCERN. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE GRESHAM DODGE (ON NE BURNSIDE) DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE (503-666-2277). I WAS TOLD "IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, BRING IT BACK" THERE WAS NO CONCERN WITH DODGE THAT THEY WERE SENDING A DANGEROUS VEHICLE BACK OUT ON THE ROAD, THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED NOW, NOT LATER. DODGE NEVER SOLVED THAT ISSUE. FURTHERMORE, MY CAR WAS STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION ON THE EVE OF 4-18-16. I TRIED TO GET IT INTO GEAR, WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. I HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK. WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW, I DECIDED TO GOOGLE DODGE CHARGERS STUCK IN PARK. ON YOUTUBE, THERE WERE SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THEY HAD VIDEO OF HOW TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. YOU HAD TO PRY THE COVERING OFF OF THE SHIFTING UNIT. STICK A PEN INSIDE TO MOVE A WIRE AROUND, IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR INTO GEAR. IT WORRIES ME THAT DODGE IS AWARE OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND OTHER ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES, YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO FIX IT. I COULD OF SERIOUSLY BEEN HURT OR SERIOUSLY HURT SOMEONE ELSE WHILE BEING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR JUST SHUTTING OFF. THEY SHOULD BE CONCERNED ENOUGH TO WANT TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT. AS I STATED BEFORE, THERE ARE NUME

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE CHARGER SXT WITH 60K MILES. ON 4/8/2016 WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AT 7:45 A.M. HEADING TO WORK I HERE A PLASTIC BREAKING NOISE AND A LARGE THUMP SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I QUICKLY GOT OUT TO SEE WHAT I HAD HIT ROLLING OUT THE DRIVE WHEN I NOTICED WATER, HEARD HISSING AND NOTICED BIG BROKEN PLASTIC PIECES ALL ON THE GROUND. I TURNED THE CAR OFF CALLED MY HUSBAND TO TURN AROUND, LOOK AT THE CAR AND THEM DROP ME OFF AT WORK ON HIS WAY TO WORK. HE POPPED THE HOOD TO MY CHARGER AND HE SHOWED ME 2 BROKEN FAN BLADES AND HOUSING SURROUNDING MY RADIATOR AND WHERE THE FAN BLADES HAD PUNCTURED NUMEROUS HOLES INTO THE RADIATOR WHERE THE FLUID WAS COMING OUT FROM. HAD TO GET TO WORK SO AWAY WE WENT. WE CALLED A SHOP TO PICKUP MY CAR AND HAVE THE REPAIRS MADE. I REMEMBERED THIS SIGHT AND MY HUSBAND CHECKED OUT THE RECALLS AND COMPLAINTS REGARDING MY CAR WHICH BRINGS ME TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT IN HOPES THAT REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY RECENT REPAIR WILL BE HANDLED AS IT SEEMS OTHERS HAVE HAD AND BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO.

DRIVING A 2007 DODGE CHARGER WITH ABOUT 21K MILES. YESTERDAY, WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN, I TOOK A RIGHT TURN AND WHILE NAVIGATING THE TURN WITH THE SIGNAL ON, I HEARD A LOUD PLASTIC-ON-PLASTIC POPPING AND CREAKING NOISE. WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL WENT OFF, THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND THE LEFT SIGNAL TURNED ON!! NOW, WHEN I TURN RIGHT I HEAR CLICKING FROM THE WHEEL/COLUMN AND WHEN THE SIGNAL CANCELS IT DOES IT SO HARD THAT IT ACTIVATES THE TURN SIGNAL OF THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I'M SURE THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD BELIEVE I'M CONFUSED WHICH WAY I'M GOING ' I'M SO GLAD IT DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT! SO THE TURN SIGNAL IN THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A PLASTIC 'POPPING' NOISE, AND IS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER ON A TURN. THE DEALER SAID IT'S THE CLOCKSPRING. NUMEROUS POSTS ON FORUMS MENTION THE SAME ISSUE. THERE'S BEEN A RECALL ON CHRYSLER/DODGE MINIVANS IN THE EARLY 2000'S FOR THE SAME ISSUE (CLOCKSPRING).... BUT NOT ONE FOR THIS VEHICLE! A PROBLEM LIKE THIS APPEARS TO BE A 'CHEAP' PLASTIC PART FAILING - I HAVE 21K MILES ON THIS CAR (BUT OBVIOUSLY PAST THE 3-YR WARRANTY)... PARTS SHOULD *NOT* FAIL AT 21K MILES!
