WHEN WE GO TO FILL UP THE TANK WITH GAS NO MATTER WHAT THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS, IT OVER FLOWS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ONTO THE GROUND. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM DOUGH GREY. 1421 WEST THIRD, P O BOX 1229, ELK CITY OK 73648 AND THE PHONE NUMBER IS 580-225-3005. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP 2 TIMES AND CALLED THEM AGAIN BECAUSE THE MATTER HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THEY INFORMED US THAT THEY CAN NOT HELP US IN THIS MATTER. WHAT CAN WE DO TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED? OUR SON IS THE ONE THAT PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR US AND BUYS A LOT OF HIS COMPANY VEHICLES FROM THIS COMPANY.

THIS DECEMBER 2011, I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR TWO YEARS. IT HAS STALLED IN TRAFFIC THREE TIMES WHILE TURNING TO THE LEFT AND ONCE WHILE TURNING TO THE RIGHT. IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE HAD RUN OUT OF GASOLINE, HOWEVER THERE WAS PLENTY OF GASOLINE. I HAVE AVOIDED THREE COLLISIONS, THE LAST TWO BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE QUICKLY, DUE TO EXPERIENCE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ("REDLANDS DODGE" CALIFORNIA) HOWEVER THEY SAY THE COMPUTER HAS NO RECORD AND OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND ON THE "INTERNET" SEVERAL SITES OF OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE AND YEAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY DODGE BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE IS NO FIX AT THIS TIME OR RECALL. *TR

I'M HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE VALVE STEMS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE IS A 2010 DODGE CHARGER WITH FIRESTONE FIREHAWK PURSUIT TIRES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DOTHAN CHRYSLER DODGE, DOTHAN AL 7 TIMES ALREADY FOR VALVESTEMS AND IT ONLY HAS 13,400 MILES ON IT! THE VEHICLE IS OWNED BY THE ALABAMA DEPT. OF PUBLIC SAFETY, AND RAPID DEFLATION OF A TIRE IS A MAJOR CONCERN WHILE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES AS AN ALABAMA STATE TROOPER. THE VALVE STEMS ARE LEAKING FROM THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES. I'M AT A LOSS AS HOW TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. DODGE DENIES ANY PROBLEM EVEN EXISTS. *TR

CONTINUE TO HAVE FLAT TIRES ON 2010 DODGE CHARGER. VALVE STEMS LEAK. AIR PRESSURE SENSOR IS ATTACHED TO VALVE STEM. *TR

WE HAVE THREE 2010 POLICE PACKAGE DODGE CHARGERS ON OUR DEPARTMENT. ALL THREE WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE VALVE STEMS LEAKING. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE STEM. THE AIR PRESSURE SENSOR IS ATTACHED TO THE VALVE STEM. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN IN MY OPINION. IF YOUR GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED TO A CALL AND THE STEM COMES APART YOU WILL MORE THAN LIKELY WRECK YOUR PATROL CAR. OUR STATE HIGHWAY PATROL IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IF YOU CONTACT THE DODGE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS THEY WILL TELL YOU THE SAME THING. WHY CAN'T THE SENSOR GO ON A BAND THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL AS THEY HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. *TR

HAD MY FIRST PROBLEM WITH MY 2010 DODGE CHARGER R/T ~ 6K MILES ON THE CLOCK. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN ~ 5 DEGREE F TEMPS - THE CAR WAS FULLY WARMED UP AND IT WAS AROUND 9AM IN THE MORNING, THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED, WITH ALL THE ERROR INDICATORS COMING ON. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS POWER STEERING AND BRAKING WENT OUT. I STOPPED THE CAR, CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD FOR SOME SORT OF VISIBLE DAMAGE. SEEING NONE & CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL - I WENT TO RESTART AND FOUND THAT THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN OVER. DOUBLE CHECKED I WAS IN PARK, EVERYTHING WAS SQUARED AWAY - TOOK THE KEY OUT - PUT IT BACK IN, TURNED - AND HEARD A SINGLE IGNITION - LIKE ONE COIL WENT OFF - THEN STOPPED. TRIED IT AGAIN, WOULDN'T TURN OVER. SO I CALL DODGE ROADSIDE FOR A TOW AND SIT THERE FOR 10 MINUTES. WHILE WAITING I DECIDED TO THEN TRY IT AGAIN, THEN MAGICALLY THE STARTER ACTUALLY GOES AND IT TURNS OVER. I WAS MAYBE 5 MILES AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP - SO I TOOK IT STRAIGHT THERE WHERE THEY TOOK A LOOK AT IT. FOR WHATEVER REASON, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM NOR TELL ME WHY IT OCCURRED OR HOW I CAN PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK OF THIS VEHICLE, THE FUEL TANK ACCEPTS ONLY A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF GASOLINE AT A TIME, APPROXIMATELY ONE-TENTH OF A GALLON AT A TIME. ALTHOUGH THE GAS TANK ON THE CAR IS FAR FROM FULL, THE PERSON FUELING THE TANK THEN CONTINUES TO SQUEEZE THE HANDLE ON THE GASOLINE SPIGOT, BUT THE TANK REJECTS THE GASOLINE AND THE GASOLINE SPILLS OUT ONTO THE CAR BODY, THE PERSON AND THE GROUND BENEATH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH A NUMBER OF 2010 DODGE CHARGERS RENTED AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY OVER THE LAST NINE MONTHS. THIS MAY BE A FILLER TUBE VENTING PROBLEM. *TR

I RECENTLY RENTED A 2010 DODGE CHARGER WITH POWER SEATS. NONE OF THE ADJUSTING BUTTONS ARE MARKED. AT THE FRONT SIDE CORNER OF THE SEAT IS A TOGGLE BUTTON. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE; I MOVED THIS BUTTON TO ADJUST THE SEAT WHICH I THOUGHT WAS LOGICAL. THIS BUTTON HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE POWER SEATS. THIS BUTTON WHEN ACTIVATED RAISES AND LOWERS THE GAS PEDAL POSITION AND BRAKE PEDAL POSITION. IT CAN BE ACTIVATED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE RESULT OF THIS IS THAT THE ACCELERATION AND BRAKING CAN BE INCREASED OR DECREASED UNEXPECTEDLY. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW THAT COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AT THE LEAST; IT SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO MOVE THESE PEDALS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. NO ACCIDENT RESULTED; BUT IT IS VERY DISORIENTING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND WHILE IT WAS IN THE PARK POSITION, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH PUSHED THAT VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER ONE.

THE FENDER WAS BEING REPAIRED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 5,630.

POWER ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDAL MOVEMENT SYSTEM HAS A TOGGLE SWITCH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT THAT IS EASILY CAUGHT BY A JACKET OR A COAT. THIS CAUSES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO MOVE TOWARDS YOU WHILE DRIVING AND IN TURN CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE FASTER BECAUSE YOUR FOOT IS STILL ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE TOGGLE SWITCH TO MOVE THESE PEDALS FORWARD OR BACK AWAY FROM THE DRIVER NEEDS TO BE RELOCATED TO THE DASH OR INOPERABLE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN THE DRIVE POSITION. *TR
