THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE HEAD GASKETS ON THE 2.7 V6 ENGINES. MY CHARGER IS BOILING COOLANT IN THE RESERVOIR COOLANT TANK AND WHEN YOU RUN THE RPM'S UP TO 3X, COOLANT SPRAY OUT THE COOLANT CAP. I REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT, THE COOLANT TOP ITSELF, I DID A RADIATOR FLUSH AND ALSO CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AND AT THIS POINT I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. MY CAR HAS 15400 MILES ON IT AND IT HAPPENS DAY AFTER DAY BUT NOW IT SEEMS AS IF THE ISSUE HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I WAS TOLD THAT ALL OR MOST THE 2.7 ENGINES HAS HAD THIS ISSUE AND HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ENGINE. AFTER EXPLAINING TO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP WHAT MY VEHICLE WAS DOING I PAID $125 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THEY SAID THAT IT FAILED THE BLOCK TEST AND IT'S RECOMMENDED TO TEAR DOWN THE TOP CYLINDER HEADS TO CHECK FOR WARPED GASKETS. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME WITH ANY RESOLUTIONS.

FLICKERING HEADLIGHTS; SUDDENLY GO OFF FOR A PERIOD OF A FEW SECONDS. RANDOMLY FLASH ON AND OFF WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVING. FAULTY TIPM.
I HAD JUST LEFT MY RESIDENCE TO TRAVEL TO WORK IN MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER, 2.7L V6, I HAD MADE IT 10 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE WHEN MY ENGINE BLEW. THE TEMP GAGE NEVER SHOWED THERE WAS ANY KIND OF OVERHEATING PROBLEM. THE CHECK OIL LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND TURNED OFF. A FEW MINUTES LATER IT CAME ON AGAIN AND PUFF OF WHITE SMOKE CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE MOTOR SEIZED.

WHEN TRYING TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT OF A GROCERY STORE, MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. NEVER HAVING A SHIFTING ISSUE BEFORE, I WAS IN A PANIC AS TO WHAT TO DO, SINCE I HAD MY CHILDREN WITH ME AND FELT STRANDED. AFTER PAYING TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED TO A SERVICE CENTER, I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE K39 RECALL FROM CHRYSLER, WHICH WAS EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED 6 WEEKS BEFORE THE START DATE FOR THE 2007 MODELS, I'M NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. IT CLEARLY DOESN'T MATTER THAT HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME, BUT ARE STILL HAVING TO PAY $400+ TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE COVERED. AFTER SPENDING 30 MINUTES LISTENING TO A REP AT THE CHRYSLER RECALL CENTER TELL ME HOW OFTEN HE'S HEARD OF THIS COMPLAINT, JUST TO TELL ME THAT I'M S.O.L. IS BEYOND FRUSTRATING! THIS EXPERIENCE HAS TURNED ME OFF FROM BUYING ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT EVER AGAIN!

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AND IS STUCK IN PARK. THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS PREPARING FOR FAMILY TO COME OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND. I'VE DETERMINED THIS IS DUE TO A BROKEN SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH WHICH IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR. I CONTACTED DODGE/CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THOUGH THE ISSUE IS EXACTLY THE SAME AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED AT MY COST AND THEN IF MY VEHICLE IS LATER INCLUDED IN A RECALL, I WOULD BE REIMBURSED. I'VE READ OF MANY DODGE OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE WHERE THEY HAVE THE EXACT ISSUE BUT ARE EXCLUDED WITHIN THE RECALL YEARS. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED AS THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF THE SCOPE IS NOT CAPTURING THE COMPLETE SPECTRUM. HOW DO WE GET INCLUDED INTO THE RECALL? IF DODGE/CHRYSLER WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY FOR A SIMPLE PLASTIC PART THAT BREAKS, THEN I CERTAINLY DON'T FORESEE MYSELF EVER BUYING ANOTHER DODGE/CHRYSLER. VERY DISAPPOINTING AND FRUSTRATING TO SAY THE LEAST. THANK GOODNESS THERE IS A TEMPORARY WORK AROUND IN ORDER TO STILL BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. LEASE HELP!

IVE HAD ISSUES THAT I AM REPORTING TO THUS SITE. DEALERSHIP SAID MY VIN DIDN'T MATCH. MY ESP, ABS, AND BAS LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ON FOR 2 YEARS. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ON ECU FLASH WITH NEW SOFTWARE BY RECALL, BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID ONLY POLICE PACKAGE VEHICLES WERE INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. IVE RESEARCHED COUNTLESS HOURS TO FIND VERY MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. NOW I AM NEEDING TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. FROM WHAT IT STATES ON THIS WEBSITE, MY RECALL WAS ORDERED BACK IN MAY, 2015. FROM THE INFORMATION THAT I READ, THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A 60 DAY TIME SPAN WITHIN WHICH THE DEALERSHIP WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX MY AIRBAG ISSUE, AND THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER FALLS UNDER THIS RECALL ORDER, I BELIEVE THAT I WAS PREVIOUSLY MISLED BY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP ABOUT THE ISSUES PERTAINING TO MY ABS, BAS, AND ESP ISSUES WHICH REGARD A WHEEL SPEED SENSOR, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THAT CAUSES ME TO LOSE TRACTION, TROUBLE BRAKING IN MOIST TO WET WEATHER, AND MY CRUISE CONTROL OPTION HAS NOT WORKED SINCE THE ABS, BAS, AND ESP LIGHTS FIRST CAME ON 2 YEARS AGO, WHEN MY WHEELS LOST TRACTION WHILE PULLING INTO A GRAVEL DRIVEWAY AT ABOUT 5 MILES AN HOUR.I DROVE OFF ROAD ACCIDENTALLY TWICE IN THE PASSED YEAR: THE FIRST TIME WAS CAUSED BY A LACK OF ABS AND A BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM WHICH CAUSED ONLY MINOR DAMAGE TO FRONT BUMPER. THE SECOND TIME WAS DUE TO LOSS OF TIRE TRACTION WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN WHILE IT WAS RAINING, CAUSING ME TO SPIN OUT INTO A 18

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER AND MY MOTOR WAS LOCK-UP. I DID NOT KNOW FOR SURE TILL I TOOK IT TO DODGE AND I HAD TO PAY THEM FOR THIS SERVICE. ALTHOUGH THEY DID TELL ME HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST FOR ANOTHER MOTOR 8500 LIKE REALLY. FURTHERMORE,THE PROBLEM WAS THE COOLING SYSTEM WHICH GAVE NO SIGN OR WARNING TIL THE ENGINE LOCK-UP. THEREFORE I PURCHASED A USE ENGINE SAME YEAR AND MODEL FOR MY 5.7 HEMI MOTOR WHICH DODGE REFUSE TO GIVE A WARRANTY ON BUT THEY MAKE THEM. SAD. I BOUGHT A NEW RADIATOR CLEAN/FLUSHED MY COOLING SYSTEM. NOW THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE MOTOR I JUST WAS ABLE TO PUT IN SAME PROBLEM COOLING SYSTEM. PLEASE HELP OR LET ME TRADE MY CAR IN.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. 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.
