I was sold this car from a dealer and told nothing was wrong with it, 2 days later codes U0002 (CAN communication BUS performance) and U0103 (Loss communication with gear shift module) came on and the car will go into what I believe is limp mode every 10-30 minutes into driving it. I believe the Column shifter assembly is to blame as there was a recall for this same part and I’m having the same exact issues stated in the recall making it unsafe to drive.

HEADGASKET, FEL-PRO ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD GASKET, REMOVE CARBON, AND MAKE ALL NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS.

I HAVE REPAIRED THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM, BRAKE SYSTEM, SWAY BAR BUSHING, WATER PUMP, ETC. NOW THE HEAD GASKETS BLEW... ARE THERE ANY RECALLS OR WAYS YOU CAN REFUND ME?

ALL OF MY STEERING COLUMN COMPONENTS QUIT WORKING, I HAVE NO TURN SIGNALS, WIPERS, BRIGHTS, CRUISE CONTROL, HORN OR POWER MIRRORS. NOW THE TAILLIGHTS ILLUMINATE ONLY WHEN THEY WANT TO BUT BRAKE LIGHTS WORK. I WAS STOPPED AND INFORMED THAT I HAD NO REAR LIGHTING AT ALL AND THAT IS WAS VERY UNSAFE. I'VE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY REPLACING PARTS BUT NOTHING IS GETTING FIXED NOT TOO MENTION THE SAFETY ASPECT OF IT ALL WITH NO TURN SIGNALS OR WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND THE TAILLIGHTS OR RUNNING LIGHTS NOT WORKING UNLESS I UNHOOK THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WHICH I ALSO REPLACED. THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON HERE AND THERE AS WELL. I BELIEVE IT'S THE TIPM BUT I NEED SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS. IT'S BEEN MONTHS SINCE I'VE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND HAVING EVERYTHING WORKING PROPERLY. I ALSO TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLES AND KEEP UP ON ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

I HAVE BEEN CHASING A ABS/EPS LIGHT ISSUE SINCE THE DEALERSHIP DID AN AIRBAG RECALL. REPLACED ALL WHEEL SENSORS, ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS AND FINALLY RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE ANGLE SENSOR. 5 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. RETURNED AND THEY SAID THE STEERING COLUMN MEASURED 37MM INSTEAD OF 34MM. THIS ITEM HAS NEVER BEEN REPLACED OR DAMAGED AND WITHOUT REPLACING THIS ITEM THEN I'M BEING TOLD THIS SENSOR WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT MY DAILY DRIVER BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ON SAFETY ISSUES. NOW I KNOW IT WAS A MANUFACTURE ISSUE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO HELP ME BECAUSE THEY STATED THE DEALER HAS NOT DETERMINED THIS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. IN 2010 AND 2012 THIS ISSUES HAS COME UP IN THE MEDIA AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS PLACED ON NOTICE BUT FAILED TO RECALL BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH CASES WERE LOCATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE BATTERY SERVICE AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FUEL GAUGE TO READING WAS INCORRECT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO RICK HENDRICK JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM FIAT (8333 RIVERS AVE, NORTH CHARLESTON, SC 29406; (843) 639-5475) TO BE DIAGNOSED.

I'M WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE HEMI TICK THAT CHRYSLER SEEMS TO KEEP OVERLOOKING KNOWING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE LIFTERS NOT GETTING ENOUGH OIL TO THEM AND CAUSING THEM TO EAT AWAY AT THE CAMSHAFT THIS IS COSTING US A LOT OF MONEY TO REPLACE THESE AND I THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND THAT THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO COVER THE COST OF PARTS AND REPAIRS FOR THIS ITS A SHAME WE HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THEY KNOW IS AN ISSUE AND THEY JUST COVER IT UP AS (OH THAT'S COMMON WITH THE HEMI) NO ITS NOT COMMON BECAUSE ITS A HEMI, ITS COMMON BECAUSE ITS AN ISSUE WITH THE LIFTERS THEY WON'T FIX EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW WHAT IT IS I THINK THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED BY NOW SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL AND REPAIR THIS PROBLEM IT HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY ON ANY STREET OR HIGHWAY ITS AN ISSUE BY FAR ITS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THEY BROUGHT THE HEMI BACK IN 2005.

AFTER TAKING CARE OF THIS CAR I'VE NOTICE THAT THE MANUFACTURE HAS FAILED ME. I BEGAN TO THINK I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED TO. AND AFTER FURTHER REVIEW IT SEEMS TO ME THAT MOST ALL CHARGERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WHICH I THINK THAT DODGE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR REPLACING THE ENGINE IN THE VEHICLE. IF ANYONE IS LIKE MYSELF YOU HATE TO GIVE UP SUCH A BEAUTY. BUT AT THIS TIME I'M ALMOST HEARTBROKEN TO SAY IT MUST BE DONE. I FEEL WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THIS ENGINE SHOULD CONSIDER REPLACING NOT THE SAME MODEL IN THE VEHICLE BUT GIVE A BETTER BRAND. OR IS THAT CAN NOT EXIST BE CONSIDERATE ENOUGH TO GIVE THE OWNER HAVE OF WHAT THEY HAVE INVESTED INTO THE VEHICLE. BUT YOU MUST SHOW PROOF. DODGE ITS NOT RIGHT AND SOMEONE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE ESPECIALLY IF WE HAVE TO PAY A CAR PAYMENT OR CASH IN HAND FOR THIS BEAUTY. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS LETTER TO UPHOLD YOUR END OF THE BARGAIN. IT IS ONLY FAIR. MY ENGINE IS GONE. SIGN UNSATISFIED COSTUMER

DASHBOARD LIGHTS NOT WORKING ANYMORE. SOMETIMES IT FADES IN AND OUT AND SOMETIMES NOTHING AT ALL. WITH THE ENGINE, WHEN I 1ST START IT WHILE COLD I'LL WAIT 30 SECONDS OR SO AND PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE ON MY KINDA BUT DOESNT. WAS TOLD WAIT TIL CAR IS WARMED UP AND MUFFLER NOISE WILL GO AWAY ONCE IT WARMS UP. ALL OF THIS WHILE IT IS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY.

PRIOR TO MY MISHAP I HAD NO SIGNS OF MALFUNCTION I WAS DRIVING EARLY ONE MORNING IN MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF AND WILL NOT RESTART COME TO FIND OUT THERE'S A RECALL ON MY TIPM BUT THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR A CERTAIN TIMEFRAME AND MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED LITERALLY FEW MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL DATES ENDED NO I HAVE A REALLY PROBLEM UNDER THE FUSE BOX AND I FEEL IT'S NOT FAIR THAT THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR A CERTAIN TIME. WHEN I HAVE ALL THE SAME PARTS AS THE RECALL CAR IS DEAD MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN DECEMBER 2008 BUT GOT THE 2010 TIPM DUDE BOX I SPENT A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TRYING TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM AND SO WE REALIZED IT WAS THE INTERNAL RELAY .IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT THIS

I CAME OUT OF THE STORE AND TURNED THE KEY FOB TO START THE IGNITION, THE CAR STARTED AND THEN SHUT ITSELF OFF, ARMING THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM AND LOCKING ME OUT OF ALL FUNCTIONS OF THE CAR.

CHANGE TIRES AND THE LOW TIRE LIGHT DOESN'T COME OFF. TRUNK WILL NOT UNLOCK FROM KEY FOB OR INSIDE CAR. KEY HOLE TO OPEN DOOR EASY TO BREAK INTO. CAR KEEP CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING ON SEVERAL OCCASION. CUT OFF WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION.

THE COMPUTER IN THE TRANSMISSION IS MAKING MY CAR JERK FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR. I HAVE A LIFETIME POWER TRAN WARRANTY YET THEY SAY THAT THERE IS NO "FIX" FOR MY CAR, BASICALLY I HAVE TO EITHER DRIVE IT LIKE IT IS OR BUY ANOTHER ONE AND I DO NOT THINK THAT IS FAIR FOR A LOYAL CUSTOMER LIKE MYSELF. EVERY TIME I CALL, THEY MANAGE TO LOOSE MY LIFETIME WARRANTY, THIS LAST TIME THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME I DIDN'T GET MY TRANSMISSION SERVICED FOR THE 10 YEAR MARK, I TOLD THEM I DID IN MARCH WHEN DODGE SAID IT WAS DUE - HE NOW TELLS ME THAT I GOT IT DONE TOO EARLY TO MAKE MY WARRANTY VALID. WHAT KIND OF MESS IS THAT. I JUST WANT MY CAR FIXED YET DODGE IS TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PROVIDE A PATCH OR EVEN CREATE ONE. WHEN I DRIVE, MAINLY EARLY MORNINGS, MY CAR WILL DO A HARD SHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR. NO MATTER UPHILL, DOWNHILL, ROUNDING A CURB, STRAIGHTAWAY, HIGHWAY OR STREETS.
