2011 Dodge Charger complaints

THE AUXILIARY FUEL PUMP FAIL AND LEAKED INTO THE REAR RIGHT HAND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURE AND NO ONE IS WILLING TO HELP WITH THE VERY BIG FIRE HAZARD . THE LEAK HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS FILLED WITH FUEL AND THE TANK HAS ORE THE HALF A TANK OF FUEL.

BRAKE PEDAL OCCASIONALLY WILL GO TO THE FLOOR. NO WORK DONE THAT WOULD ALLOW AIR INTO THE SYSTEM. NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF A LEAK AND MASTER CYLINDER IS FULL OF FLUID. NO SPECIFIC DRIVING HABITS ARE EVIDENT WHEN FAILURE OCCURS. PROBLEM CORRECTS ITSELF WHEN PEDAL IS FORCIBLY DEPRESSED AND OCCURRENCE MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR WEEKS OR MONTHS.

HEADLAMP (LOW BEAM PROJECTION)REPEATEDLY SHUTS OFF AFTER FEW MINUTES DRIVING. I KNOW THAT SOME POLICE VEHICLES HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE BEEN RECALLED. CAN NO LONGER USE MY PERSONAL CAR AFTER SUNSET. LOCAL DEALER WILL REPAIR BUT AT MY EXPENSE. THIS IS A BIG DEAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. I WAS PUTTING ON THE GAS BUT THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN SO QUICKLY THAT I HAD TO PULL OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. AFTER TURNING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON, THE HEADLIGHTS OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. ADDITIONALLY, THE FOG LIGHTS ALSO FAILED TO OPERATE. WYSUP DODGE JEEP (115 S. GRAND AVE, PULLMAN, WA) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE BOTH NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

TRACKING CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON BY IT SELF WHEN IT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING CAR SLOWS DAWN MAKING IT HARD TO PUSH GAS PEDAL TO KEEP DRIVING I HAVE TO PULL OVER CUT MY CAR OFF RESTART MY CAR THEN GO AGAIN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAVE SINCLAIR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2326 W OSAGE ST, PACIFIC, MO 63069, (636) 257-4055) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT CONTINUED TO FAIL AFTER BEING REPLACED. IN ORDER FOR THE HEADLIGHTS TO OPERATE CORRECTLY, THE CONTACT HAD TO HIT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WITH HIS HAND. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY JERKED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION AFTER THE INITIAL JERK MOVEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

THE CAR GAVE AN ERROR MESSAGE 'VEHICLE NOT IN PAR'. COULD NOT TURN ENGINE OFF. EVENTUALLY CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT AND CAUSED BLOWN HEAD GASKETS. HAVE TO GET AN ENTIRE NEW ENGINE AND REPLACE SHIFTER AND PUSH TO START SYSTEM.

THE CAR SEEMS TO CONTINUE OVERHEATING NO MATTER WHAT AFTER NUMEROUS DELIVERIES TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS ASSURED THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER OVERHEAT BUT IT CONTINUES TO DO SO.

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ILLUMINATED IN DASH, TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF OFTEN WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE A SENSOR WAS REPLACED AND SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2016 THE CAR HAS BEEN HARD TO STEER. THE CARS STEERING IS STILL HARD TO STEER WHEN MAKING TURNS. IT ACTS AS IF IT IS GOING TO LOCK UP

I SMELLED THE STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE INSIDE MY CHARGER. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING GAS FROM AROUND THE O RING AT THE FUEL PUMP WHICH IS LOCATED UNDER THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT. THE MECHANIC TIGHTENED THE COVER TO THE FUEL PUMP AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE VEHICLE WAS NOW VISIBLY LEAKING GAS FONTO THE GROUND AND THE FUEL SMELL INSIDE THE VEHICLE WAS INTOLERABLE. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND LEFT IT WITH THEM FOR A DAY IN WHICH TIME THEY REPLACED THE RING, TESTED IT AND FOUND NO FURTHER LEAKAGE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME. BY THE NEXT MORNING THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING AGAIN, THIS TIME MUCH WORSE. I HAD TO PARK IT AWAY FROM THE HOUSE FOR FEAR THAT IT MIGHT CAUSE AN EXPLOSION WHEN IF LEFT IN THE HOT GARAGE WITH THE FUMES FILLING UP THE GARAGE. I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN 71 COMPLAINTS FILED WITH NHTSA. THIS IS TRULY A DANGEROUS DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I JUST HAD MY DAUGHTER AND GRAND KIDS IN THE CAR WITH SOME OF THE GRAND KIDS SITTING OVER THE FUEL PUMP LOCATED UNDER THE SEAT. WHO IN THERE RIGHT MIND WOULD PUT FUEL PUMPS UNDER THE REAR SEAT. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE'S FUEL TANK IS FULL. WHEN I MOVED IT AWAY FROM THE HOUSE IT LEFT A TRAIL OF GASOLINE TO WHERE I PARKED IT AND BY THE NEXT MORNING THERE WAS A HUGE SPOT ON THE GROUND AND THE CAR WAS FULL OF FUMES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF THERE EVERY WAS ONE.

WE HAD RECALL P08 HEADLAMP WIRING PERFORMED ON 2/22/15 AT PALMEN DODGE IN RACINE WI. 2 MONTHS LATER WE MOVED TO ARIZONA. WITHIN 6 MONTHS AFTER THIS RECALL WAS ADDRESSED WE CONTINUED TO HAVE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. AFTER A COUPLE OF TIMES I STARTED KEEPING RECEIPTS. APPROX. EVERY 6 MONTHS WE HAD TO REPLACE OUR HEADLIGHTS (SOMETIMES 1, SOMETIMES BOTH). WE FINALLY HAD A DEALERSHIP BUILT NEAR OUR HOUSE THIS YEAR (RODEO DODGE- SAN TAN VALLEY AZ) SO WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE IT IN WITHOUT TOO MUCH INCONVENIENCE- WE ONLY HAVE 1 CAR & NO RENTAL WAS OFFERED. THE IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE WAS A HEADLAMP HARNESS AND NEEDED TO REPLACE IT. THE COST FOR THIS WORK WAS $729.77. THEY ADVISED THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE PREVIOUS RECALL. HOWEVER WHEN READING THE P08 RECALL IT DOES INDICATE "YOUR DEALER WILL REPLACE THE HEADLAMP HARNESSES AND REPLACE THEM IF REQUIRED". IT SEEMS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THERE WAS A HARNESS OVERLOOKED WHEN THE RECALL WAS ADDRESSED IN 2015 THAT CAUSED US TO CONTINUALLY REPLACE HEADLAMPS EVERY 6 MONTHS. I HAVE RECEIPTS FROM THESE HEADLAMPS FROM: FEB 2017, DEC 2017, MAY 2018. THERE WERE A COUPLE ADDITIONAL TIMES BETWEEN MAR 2016 AND FEB 2017 THAT I DID NOT THINK TO KEEP RECEIPTS. I FINALLY HAD THE ISSUE ADDRESSED WHEN BOTH HEADLAMPS WENT OUT IN DEC 2018. SERVICE WASN'T COMPLETED UNTIL 3/5/19 AS IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR US TO BE WITHOUT A CAR FOR THE LENGTH OF TIME WE KNEW IT WOULD TAKE TO HAVE FIXED. I AM ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT FROM DODGE IN THE AMOUNT OF $971.37 TO COVER THE WORK DON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE HEAD GASKET FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

MY ABS AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON BUT THEY GO OFF. BUT WHEN DRIVING THEY COME ON SUDDENLY I DONT HAVE BRAKES FOR SEVERAL CRUCIAL SECONDS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP. THEN THE LIGHTS GO OFF AGAIN.

MY VEHICLE IS HAVING ALL OF THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE P08 RECALL. MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY GO OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. COMPLETELY DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE THIS WAY. FACTORY SAYS MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT YOU CLEARLY MISSED DIAGNOSED WHAT VEHICLES WERE EFFECTED AS MINE IS. PLEASE HELP!

I GAVE THE CAR FUEL THROTTLE AND IT STALLED THEN DIED ON THE FREEWAY. AFTER BEING STRUCK BY ANOTHER CAR FROM BEHIND, THE CAR STARTED FINE AND STILL RUNS PERFECT. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY RESEARCH SUGGEST THE PCM ON THESE CARS ARE FAULTY.

WHEN I START THE VEHICLE, THE LOW BEAMS WORK NORMALLY. WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF LIGHTS BEING ON, WHETHER IDLE OR DURING DRIVING, THEY WILL TURN OFF ON THERE OWN. I AM THEN FORCED TO USE HIGH BEAMS IN ORDER TO HAVE LIGHTING AT NIGHT.

AT FIRST I WAS UNABLE TO CALL OUT THROUGH MY CARS BLUETOOTH, BUT IF I USED MY PHONE TO CALL OUT I COULD HEAR AND SPEAK THROUGH MY CAR. HOWEVER THIS DID NOT LAST LONG SINCE THE SPEAKERS QUIT WORKING. A LOUD CLICKING STARTED IN MY DASH. THE RADIO TURNS ON BUT NO SOUND. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I COULD NOT START MY CAR AFTER GOGGLING THE ISSUE I FOUND THAT OTHERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND SAID THAT IF YOU TAKE THE REMOTE ITSELF TO PUSH THE START BUTTON THEIR CAR STARTED. I TRIED THIS AND AT THIS TIME MY CAR WILL START THIS WAY. ALSO MY TRUNK JUST OPENS ON IT'S OWN. THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY. I CALLED DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT A RECALL. I'M A DISABLED PERSON, AND I NEED MY CAR TO GET TO AND FROM DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS. I DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF MONEY AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY TO GET THESE ISSUES FIXED. I FEEL THAT SINCE THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE W OATH THE SAME ISSUES THAT THESE THINGS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND CUSTOMERS HAVE THEIR VEHICLES TAKEN CARE OF. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. DONNA [XXX] THESE THINGS HAPPENED OVER TIME SO I HAVE NO CERTAIN DATES. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

PASSENGER SIDE FUEL PUMP LEAKING ON TOP OF TANK. WITH INTERNET RESEARCH FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO POOR QUALITY PLASTIC CRACKING. CONTACT A DEALER NOT UNDER RECALL.

NOTICED GAS SMELL IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING GAS TANK COMPLETELY UP. A COUPLE DAYS LATER I HAD A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL INSIDE VEHICLE AND WHILE DRIVING. STARTED NOTICING THAT THERE WAS A MODERATE SIZE PUDDLE UNDER VEHICLE WHERE THE REAR SEAT IS. I'VE SEEN MANY REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING AND IT DISTURBS ME THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY VEHICLE EITHER ONE OR BOTH HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT. I AM ABLE TO FLIP THEM OFF AND THEY WILL TURN BACK ON BUT CONTINUE TO GO OUT AS I AM DRIVING. THIS OCCURS DURING ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS, HIGHWAY, CITY, STATIONARY, MOVING, ACCELERATING, BREAKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY AND LATER SEIZED COMPLETELY. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS ONLY.

I HAVE BEEN SMELLING GAS INSIDE OF THE CABIN OF MY CAR FOR A WHILE USUALLY ONLY IN THE MORNING OR AFTER MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING A WHILE. FINALLY THIS MORNING, 2/5/2019, THE SMELL WAS SO BAD THAT I HAD A HEADACHE AND MY EYES WERE BURNING AND SO TOOK IT TO AN AUTO MECHANIC SHOP TO LOOK AT IT. THEY STATED THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE SITTING ON MY FUEL PUMP THAT IS UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. THAT IS THE SIDE MY DAUGHTER SITS ON AND SHE HAS BEEN COMPLAINING OF HEADACHES AS WELL. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THAT IF I WERE TO HAVE GOTTEN INTO A WRECK AND THERE HAD BEEN A SPARK OF SOME SORT MY CAR WOULD HAVE GONE UP IN FLAMES BECAUSE THERE WAS A POOL OF GASOLINE SITTING ON THE FUEL PUMP.

WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING THE CAR AT NIGHT, SOMETIMES THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO COMPLETELY OUT, I'VE ALMOST WRECKED TWICE BC OF IT. I STARTED LOOKING ONLINE AND FOUND WHERE IN 2014 THEY RECALLED 50 SUM THOUSAND 2011 AND 2012 CHARGERS FOR THIS REASON, BUT WHEN I CALL THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER THEY TELL ME MY CAR WASN'T PART OF THAT RECALL. BASICALLY THEY WONT PAY FOR IT. I WORK FOR A BIG CAR MANUFACTURER AND I KNOW THAT IF A CUSTOMER COMPLAINED ABOUT SOMETHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE THEM TO DIE OR KILL OTHERS THEY WOULD FIX IT, ALL I WANT IS IT FIXED BEFORE I GET HURT OR HURT OTHERS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND AIR BAG INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER (OURISMAN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE OF ALEXANDRIA, 5900 RICHMOND HWY, ALEXANDRIA, VA 22303, (703) 329-1600) REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT, BUT DID NOT DIAGNOSE THE AIR BAGS.

WHILE DRIVING LIGHTS SHUT OFF, I SWITCH FROM AUTO TO ON, TO TURN LIGHTS BACK ON, LIGHTS FLICKER SLIGHTLY AS WELL. CAR TAKEN DEALERSHIP CHANGED CAR BATTERY, KEY FOG, AND SHORTENED WIRES TO LIGGTS. PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED.

2011 DODGE CHARGER R/T 5.7L HEMI WITH AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAMS. HEADLIGHT(LOW BEAM) INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT AND SOMETIMES WHEN SWITCHING FROM HIGH TO LOW BEAM THE LOW BEAN DOESN'T FUNCTION AND ONE MUST TURN OFF THE LIGHTS MANUALLY AND RE-ENGAGE THEM TO WORK.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I RECENTLY HAD A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED MY FUEL EFFICIENCY DIDN'T APPEAR TO BE AS GOOD AS NORMAL. I NOTICED ON CHRISTMAS EVE 12/24/18 THAT I HAD A VISIBLE FUEL TRAIL ON THE OUTSIDE GROUND, NEAR THE REAR PASSENGER-SIDE DOOR AS IT WAS PARKED. I HAVE SINCE NOT DRIVEN MY VEHICLE OUT OF CONCERN THAT THE ISSUE WOULD RESULT IN SOMETHING MUCH WORSE. I HAVE A CHILD AND WILL NOT PUT HIM OR MYSELF IN DANGER. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET MY CAR TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALER FOR SERVICE ASSISTANCE. SINCE MY CAR HAS SUCH LOW MILEAGE, AND I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER, IT'S DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT I WOULD BE DEALING WITH A FUEL LEAK FROM A 2011 VEHICLE. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS OTHERS THAT HAVE EXPLAINED THEY'VE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2011 DODGE CHARGER SE OR SIMILAR YEAR/MODEL. I'M CONCERNED THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS FUEL LEAK PROBLEM, BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY MENTION OF AN ACTUAL RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS. I KNOW THIS WILL RESULT IN A PRICEY REPAIR FROM THE DEALER, BUT, I WILL HAVE TO DO WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND MYSELF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN TO 90 MPH. THE ABS WOULD NOT RELEASE AND THE CONTACT HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE THAN USUAL TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,426.

I AM WONDERING IF I HAVE ANY FURTHER ACTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO ME FOR A RECALL SITUATION. MY CAR HAD A RECALL FOR THE TIMING CHAIN AND I HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED IN 2014. A FEW WEEKS AGO WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR IN A SNOW STORM THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED AND DESTROYED MY ENGINE. I HAD SECONDS TO NEGOTIATE MY LANE AND GET TO SAFETY WHICH I COULD NOT. THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE WAS STILL STICKING OUT OF THE RIGHT LANE. I WAS INFORMED BY THE STATE PATROL I CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BEHIND ME AND MY VEHICLE WAS ALSO ALMOST STRUCK BY A SEMI TRUCK. I DO NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE YEAR ROUND SO BETWEEN 2014 AND NOW THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 20,000 MILES PUT ON IT WITH THE NEW TIMING CHAIN. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY INFORMED ME THE NEW TIMING CHAIN HAD A WARRANTY OF ONLY 2 YEARS SO ALL SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY. I AM MAKING THE ASSUMPTION THE CORRECT CHAIN WAS NOT PUT ON MY VEHICLE DURING THE RECALL REPAIR OR WAS NEVER CHANGED AT ALL. THE VEHICLE HAD A TOTAL OF 54,000 MILES ON IT AND ACCORDING TO ALL THE FORUMS, THIS IS TYPICALLY WITHIN THE MILEAGE THE CHAIN FAILS AND UNDER THE EXACT CONDITIONS OF WHICH I WAS DRIVING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS NO EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SHOULD HAVE LED TO A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. NOW DODGE WANTS TO CHARGE ME $5,000 FOR THE ENGINE REPAIR WHICH WAS CAUSED FROM THE TIMING CHAIN THEY SUPPOSEDLY INSTALLED.

RAW FUEL SMELL IN INTERIOR OF CAR, PART NUMBER 68159764AB PICKUP/LEVEL UNIT MODULE HAS CRACKING IN HOUSING CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK AND FUMES TO COME INTO CAR. THIS MODULE IS LOCATED UNDER THE REAR SEAT AREA OF THE CAR, AND HAS 2 PLASTIC BODY PLUGS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO SEAL OUT THE FUMES BUT THEY FIT LOOSE AND DON'T SEAL VERY WELL, CALLED ULTIMATE DODGE IN MOUNTAIN HOME ARKANSAS AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE COMPLAINT. THEY REPLIED IT WAS A RECALL, SCHEDULED A REPAIR ON 12/14/2018 TOOK VEHICLE IN, DEALERSHIP CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT COVERED ACCORDING TO THE VIN #. I TOLD THEM THAT IT IS LEAKING FUEL AND THAT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT REPAIR IT BECAUSE IT WASN'T UNDER THE RECALL. I LOOKED IT UP ON GOOGLE THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THAT SAY ITS COVERED. THIS VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL SO ITS AN EXPLOSIVE ISSUE AND A FIRE HAZARD. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I HAD TO PURCHASE THE PART AND HAVE IT REPAIRED FOR OFFICER AND PUBLIC SAFETY. THIS IS A PATROL CAR AND THE MANUFACTURES THAT BUILD THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THERE VEHICLES.

THE CAR HAD AN ALTERNATOR AND AIRBAG RECALL WHICH I TRIED TO SCHEDULE SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE PART WAS NEVER READY. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON THE 880 FREEWAY THE CAR SHUT OFF B/C OF THE ALTERNATOR, NOW I HAVE TO PAY PUT OF POCKET AND THEY ARE GOING TO REIMBURSE ME AND I HAVE TO RENT A CAR FOR THE NEXT 2 DAYS.. INCONVENIENCE TO NO END.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE HID LOW BEAM WILL RANDOMLY TURN OFF. UPON USING THE TOGGLE SWITCH TO TURN BOTH LIGHTS OFF AND BACK TO THE ON POSITION, THE FAILED HEADLAMP WILL RE-ILLUMINATE UNTIL IT FAILS AGAIN. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE BALLAST, NOT THE BULB.

THE CAR BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE, MISFIRE, AND LOST POWER WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AFTER BEING TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WITH ONLY 75000 MILES HAS FAILED LIFTERS AND A BAD CAMSHAFT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERNAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SHORTED OUT AND FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER (FREMONT MOTOR ROCK SPRINGS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT, 1900 FOOTHILL BLVD, ROCK SPRINGS, WY 82901, (307) 228-2091) WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD TO FIX MY FUEL PUMP. AND WHEN I DRIVE SMELL GAS. MY CAR IS A TICKING TIME BOMB.

STRONG FUEL ORDER WHEN FILL GAS TANK. I LOOKED ONLINE IT LOOKS LIKE A COMMON ISSUE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SOMEONE'S GOING TO GET KILLED IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED ALREADY. THE GAS LEAKS OUT AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL SENDING UNIT LOCATED UNDER REAR SEAT ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. WHEN I TOOK THE SEAT OFF THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF FUEL. AGAIN THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AFTER READING ONLINE.

I SMELLED GAS WHEN I FILLED MY CAR UP WITH GAS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS AND WHERE TO FIND WHERE THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM. I LIFTED UP THE REAR SEAT AND THERE WAS FUEL SITTING ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP RIGHT UNDER THE SEAT. THERE IS NO PROTECTION BETWEEN THE SEAT AND FUEL PUMP. SO NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WHICH IS DEACTIVATING MY REMOTE START. I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, ABS, AND EMERGENCY BRAKE INDICATORS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WELLS DODGE (1600 US 27 S, AVON PARK, FL) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPEED SENSORS WERE FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS RECENTLY REPLACED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

AFTER FILLING UP CAR WITH GASOLINE IT IS LEAKING ONTO GROUND, AND SMELL FILLING UP CABIN. ONLINE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH CAR.

I STARTED SMELLING GAS INSIDE MY CAR. I NOTICED A WET PLACE ON THE GROUND UNDER WHERE MY GAS TANK IS. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC. HE STATED THAT WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, IT IS LEAKING ON THE TOP RIGHT SIDE OF MY TANK BECAUSE THAT SIDE IS NOT WELDED CORRECTLY TOGETHER. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN MY CAR. MY MECHANIC SAID JUST THE COST OF A NEW TANK IS $1,100.00. THAT IS NOT INCLUDING THE LABOR TO REMOVE THE OLD ONE TO PUT A NEW ONE IN. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDED AS A RECALL DUE TO SO MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER RT 5.7L V8 HEMI STARTED HAVING ISSUES RUNNING, IT FELT LIKE IT WAS IDLING HIGH WHEN SITTING STILL WHILE RUNNING IN DRIVE, BUT THE RPM'S WERE NORMAL. THEN IT WOULD PERIODICALLY SOUND LIKE IT WAS NOT GOING TO START, WHEN TURNING IT ON, IT WOULD SPUTTER AND STRUGGLE TO START, BUT T WOULD START. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE STARTED HAVING ISSUES ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS, IF YOU TOOK YOUR FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR TO SLOW DOWN GRADUALLY AND THEN TRY TO ACCEL AGAIN IT WOULD WOULD NOT ACCCEL, AND IT WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WAS PULLING BACK, OR BRAKING. THE CAR WOULD THEN JUMP TO ACCEL LIKE IT WAS JUST PUT INTO GEAR. AFTER A DIAGNOSIS WE FOUND THERE WAS A CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE.THE SPARK PLUGS WERE CHANGED, ALL OF THE, AND THE COIL, AND THE INJECTOR, AND STILL IT RAN BAD. FINALLY THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO SAY THAT THERE WAS A CAMSHAFT FAILURE DUE TO AN INTERNAL ISSUE. IT WAS WIPED OUT ALONG WITH THE LIFTERS, BECAUSE THE ROCKERS STOPPED ROCKING. THIS CAR IS 7 YEARS OLD, BUT ONLY HAS ABOUT 81,000 MILES, SO THE POWER TRAIN IS UP. THE CAR WAS REGULARLY SERVICED AND TAKEN CARE OF AND THERE IS NO REASON THAT THERE SHOULD BE SUCH A FAILURE WITH AN ENGINE THAT IS SO LOW ON MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT PASSENGER HEADLIGHT FAILED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE OF THE FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT SPECIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY LOW BEAM ON THE THE CAR HAD GONE OUT AND WILL DO SO AFTER HAVING THE CAR ON FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN THE LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON IF I TURN THEM OFF AND IT WILL TURN OFF AGAIN. SOME TIMES THE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON FOR HOURS AND OTHER TIMES THEY TURN OFF WITHIN A COUPLE MINUTES AND USUALLY ONE LIGHT GOES FIRST AND THE OTHER SHORTLY AFTER
