TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY OBSERVED BOTH THE MESSAGE AND STRONG ODOR. POPPED VEHICLES HOOD AND A VERY STRONG ELECTRICAL BURNING ODOR WAS OBSERVED AND THE OUTSIDE OF THE ALTERNATOR WAS BLACK AND HOT. THEY INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE V-8, BUT THERE WAS FOR THE V-6 ALTERNATORS (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000) AND EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THE AFFECTED BUILD DATES, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. WHEN I WENT OUT TO MOVE MY VEHICLE FROM WHERE I HAD PARKED, THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND EMERGENCY BRAKE (WAS NOT ENGAGED) LIGHTS WERE ON.

I OWNED AND PURCHASED MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER SINCE 5-17-2014. ON 7-13-2015, MY SON WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE ART INSTITUTES OF ATLANTA/DECATUR, THE 2011 CHARGER HE WAS OPERATING WOULD NOT CRANK. AFTER THE WRECKER ARRIVED TO GET READY AND TOW, THE CAR CRANKED AND HE MADE IT HOME FROM DECATUR, GA TO MCDONOUGH, GA. THE NEXT DAY, 7-14-2015, I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T CRANK TILL I CALLED A WRECKER ON 7-16-15 TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO LANDMARK DODGE IN MORROW, GA. THEY CALLED ME ON 7-20-2015 AND INFORMED ME MY WARRANTY OR CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COVER THE ISSUE BOTHERING THE CAR (LOST ENGINE GROUND AND MELTED GROUND WIRE, LEFT SIDE ENGINE AT MOTOR MOUNT). THEY TESTED THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM, STARTER, STARTER WIRING AND RELAY, AND TIGHTENED ALL ENGINE GROUNDS, REPLACED ENGINE GROUND LEFT SIDE AT MOTOR MOUNT. IT WAS REPAIRED ON 7-20-2015. THE REPAIR CAME UP TO $308.29 (PARTS AND LABOR). PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER ON THE 2011 CHARGER BEFORE IT HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ELSE AND IT REALLY COSTED ME. UPDATED 9/28/15 *LN. UPDATED 12/13/2017*CN

ON 7-25-15 I FILLED CAR UP WITH GAS AND AFTER DOING SO SMELLED A STRONG GAS SMELL ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. I CAME HOME AND PARKED THE CAR. MY HUSBAND WENT OUTSIDE NEAR THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED SMELL AND BEGIN TO DO A WALK AROUND THE VEHICAL AND NOTICE THAT IT WAS LEAKING GAS FROM THE TANK. HE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AND PULLED OUT THE BACK SEAT AND NOTICE THE GAS WERE COME FROM AROUND THE SEAL OF THE GAS TANK. HE SAID WE NEED TO GET SOME OF THE GAS OUT OF THE TANK. WE DRIVE IT A DISTANCE TO SEE IF THE SMELL WOULD GO AWAY BUT IT NEVER DID UNTIL IT WERE AT A HALF OF TANK. HE THEN ON 7-27-15 REPLACED THE SEAL AND WENT BACK TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL THE CAR UP AGAIN AND THE STRONG FUEL SMELL RETURNED AND THE TANK BEING LEAKING AGAIN. I THEN STARTED TO LOOK AND SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND NOTICED IT SEEMS TO BE A KNOW DANGEROUS ISSUE WITH THE GAS TANK ON THIS VEHICLE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO ASAP. I AM SO AFRAID THAT IF SOME THROWS SOMETHING FLAMMABLE NEAR THIS VEHICLE ITS GOING TO IGNITE. VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS RESOLVING!!

FIRST THE ABS AND ESC LIGHTS CAME ON THEN THE MESSAGE BATTERY SAVER MODE THEN THE RADIO TURNED OFF AND THE AC STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR THEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TRIED TO START IT BUT IT WOULD NOT START BUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID COME ON FOR 1 PASS AND THE SPEEDOMETER AND TAC ALSO DID 1 PASS LEFT TO RIGHT AND BACK SLOWLY. CHECKED THE INTERNET AND SEEN OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM CAUSE BY THE ALTERNATOR AND THEIR IS A CURRENT RECALL ON THE V6 BUT I HAVE THE HEMI V8. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DODGE DEALER.

6/19/15 THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ORIGINALLY FOR A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR. AFTER THE JOB WAS COMPLETED I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND HAD TROUBLE SHUTTING IT OFF. AFTER SHIFTING IT THROUGH THE GEARS SEVERAL TIMES IT SHUT OFF. THE NEXT DAY I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT WEEKEND AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND IT SHUT OFF FINE. THE NEXT DAY THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THIS TIME THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD TO SHIFT IT THROUGH THE GEARS AND IT WOULD BE FINE. ALSO TOLD THAT THE ONLY WAY TO SHUT THE CAR OFF WAS TO REMOVE A FUSE TO THE FUEL INJECTION. TRULY NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER. 7/13/15 THE CAR WOULDN'T SHUT OFF AT ALL. DROVE IT TO THE DEALER AND IT'S BEEN THERE EVER SINCE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS BY THE DEALER, LITHIA DODGE, MEDFORD, OR. THE LATEST IS AN ACTUAL DODGE CORPORATE ENGINEER IS SUPPOSED TO CALL THEM BACK. NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW A CAR CAN BE DESIGNED WITHOUT AN ALTERNATE WAY TO SHUT IT OFF IF THE PUSH BUTTON START AND STOP DOES NOT WORK. THE DATES ARE APPROXIMATE AS MY PAPERWORK IS IN THE CAR.

ON 07/20/2015 AT AROUND 1:15 I PARKED MY VEHICLE IN CONCORD MILLS MALL PARKING LOT, WENT IN TO RETURN A PRODUCT. I RETURNED TO MY CAR AROUND 1:25, ATTEMPTED TO START MY VEHICLE(PUSH BUTTON START) IT CYCLED TO THE "RUN" POSITION, BUT THE CAR DIDN'T START. AFTER ABOUT 4 ATTEMPTS I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG BECAUSE I SMELT A "BURNT ELECTRICAL SMELL". I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND POPPED MY HOOD, I TOOK A LOOK AROUND AT ALL PHYSICAL FEATURES OF THE ENGINE TO TRY AND LOCATE A VISUAL PROBLEM. NOTHING WAS VISIBLE TO MY EYE, I THEN GOT BACK INTO THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN, AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS I CALLED TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO ASK A COUPLE QUESTIONS ON WHAT MIGHT BE GOING ON, AFTER SOME SPECULATION WE CAME TO CHECK MY FUSES. I THEN EXITED THE VEHICLE AND TOOK A LOOK AT MY FUSE BOX LOCATED UNDER MY HOOD, I NOTICED THAT I HAD A 30AMP 58V "BOXED SHAPED FUSE" THAT HAD BLOWN. I VISITED A NEAR BY ADVANCE AUTO PARTS STORE TO PURCHASE A FUSE, THEY DID HAVE ONE SO I PURCHASED THE FUSE AND RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE TO INSTALL. ONCE I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE I DISCONNECTED MY "+ POSITIVE" BATTERY TERMINAL AND INSTALLED THE FUSE. AFTERWARDS I RECONNECTED THE BATTERY TERMINAL AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN I GOT NOTHING, I ALSO CHECKED THE FUSE AND IT HAD BLOWN AGAIN. I THEN CONTACTED A TOW TRUCK AND WAS TOWED TO HENEDRICK DODGE ON 7/20 AROUND 5:45. THEY CONTACTED ME ON 7/21 AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY ENGINE WIRE HARNESS HAD MELTED!! AND THAT IT HAD SHORTED OU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN ABNORMALLY VIBRATED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE SPOILER FAILED. THE CONTACT ALSO EXPERIENCED WOBBLING IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

FILLED GAS TANK ON WAY TO WORK. GOT IN CAR TO GO TO LUNCH AND NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL. CALLED MY HUSBAND (HE IS AN ASE CERTIFIED MASTER TECH, GM MASTER TECH.) HE INFORMED ME THERE MUST BE A FUEL LEAK. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HE PUT HIS SCANNER ON IT AND IT PULLED A CODE OF P0496 (SMALL LEAK DETECTED). THE SMELL WOULD GO AWAY WHEN THE GAS LEVEL WAS UNDER 1/2 TANK. WOULD ONLY FILL TO 1/2 AFTER THAT. AFTER A WEEK OR SO THE SMELL WOULD COME BACK WITH ONLY 1/2 TANK OF GAS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS STAYED ON ALL THIS TIME. HUSBAND PULLED THE REAR SEAT OUT ON JULY 11TH TO DISCOVER FUEL POOLING FROM THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER FUEL MODULE, THE GAS WAS LEAKING THROUGH THE PLASTIC. CONTACTED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. JULY 12TH WE ORDERED A NEW BOSCH PREMIUM FUEL PUMP (PART# 67774). ON JULY 17TH I RAN THE FUEL DOWN SO ONLY 1 GALLON WAS LEFT IN TANK. LET THE CAR SIT FOR 2 HRS. HUSBAND REMOVED THE MAIN PUMP, WHICH FELL APART. UPON REMOVING THE PRIMARY FUEL PUMP (RIGHT SIDE) THE PRESSURE WAS SO STRONG IT BLEW FUEL ALL OVER HIM AND THE INTERIOR OF THE BACK SEAT. THE PUMP HOLDS FUEL PRESSURE FOR WAY TO LONG AFTER IT IS TURNED OFF. NOT TO MENTION THAT THERE IS ONLY 2 PIECES OF PLASTIC/FOAM BETWEEN THE FUEL PUMPS AND THE BACK SEAT. THAT, IN ITSELF IS DANGEROUS. IS THE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE WHAT CAUSED THE PLASTIC FUEL PUMP TO CRACK AND ALLOW THE FUEL TO POOL ON TOP? I LOVE MY CAR BUT AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW. I AM NOT ONLY CONCERNED

ENGINE CAME ON. CAR WOULD NOT START. HAD TO JUMP START CAR

ALTERNATOR FAILURE IN A 4 YEAR OLD CAR. WOW. DRIVING DOWN THE AUTOBAHN AT 130KPH, AND YOUR CAR SHUTS OFF, NOT COOL. SHOULD HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH BEFORE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL HAD A LOUD METAL ON METAL SCRAPING NOISE, BOTH WITH BRAKING AND WITHOUT BRAKING, IN BOTH DRIVE AND IN REVERSE POSITIONS. THE NOISE ONLY LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO MILES AND COULD NOT BE REPLICATED, WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE TIRE PLACE. THEY DID REPLACE SOME BRAKE HARDWARE ON THAT SIDE, SAYING THAT IT WAS A THIN METAL PIECE BEHIND THE BRAKE PAD WAS BENT. BUT NOW, TWO WEEKS LATER THE WHEEL WAS MAKING THE SAME NOISE BUT NOT AS LOUDLY AND IT ALSO WENT AWAY ON ITS OWN AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES. IN ADDITION MY DRIVERS FRONT TIRE IS TERRIBLY OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND WORE THE OUTER EDGE OF THE TIRE NEARLY BALD. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BRAKE HARDWARE OR NOT, I HAVE NOT FULLY INVESTIGATED IT YET. WHEN THE TIRE SHOP DID AN ALIGNMENT ON MY CAR THEY WERE UNABLE TO CORRECT MY ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE WAY THAT THE MOTOR WAS SITTING IN MY CAR. MY CAR IS AN ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE AND IT WAS INTO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR THE TIMING CHAIN GUIDE RECALL A YEAR AGO. MY TIRES AT THAT POINT TIME WE'RE ONLY TWO YEARS OLD NOW THEY ARE ONLY THREE YEARS OLD. THE UNEVEN WEAR ON THE TIRE HAS BEEN WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. AT THE RECALL REPAIR MY CAR HAD 33,000 MILES ON IT AND CURRENTLY MY CAR HAS 43,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON AT 18,000 MILES. *TR

RECEIVED MESSAGE ON CONSOLE WHY DRIVING "BATTERY SAVER MODE" DROVE 1 MILE AND PULLED INTO GAS STATION. WHILE PARKED AND CAR RUNNING RADIO, ABS, STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEMS ALL WENT OFFLINE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND SMELLED ELECTRICAL BURNING. OPENED HOOD AND BURNING SMELL WAS STRONGER. I RETURNED TO THE CAR AND ALL ELECTRICAL POWER WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED. TOWED TO DODGE DEALERSHIP AFTER CALLING CHRYSLER RECALL HOTLINE. *TR

I NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL IN AND AROUND THE CAR SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AFTER FILLING UP BUT I DID NOT OVERFILL OR SPILL GAS ANYWHERE. AFTER HAVING A MECHANIC DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE HE FOUND THAT THE FUEL PUMP UNDER THE REAR SEAT ON THE RIGHT SIDE WAS LEAKING AND HAD FUEL POOLING UP AT THE TOP. AS FIRST STEP HE REPLACED THE O-RING SEAL ON THE FUEL UP. AFTER REPLACING THE SEAL THERE WAS NO LEAK INITIALLY BUT IT OCCURRED AGAIN AFTER THE NEXT FILL UP. SO IT SEEMS THE LEAK ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL. SINCE THE SEAL WAS ALREADY REPLACED BUT THE LEAK IS STILL THERE I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALER WHO WILL HAVE TO DIAGNOSE IT FURTHER BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY THE GAS TANK THAT IS LEAKING AND THEY HAVE SEEN MANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS ALREADY AND I AM NOT THE FIRST ONE. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT DODGE HAS UPDATED THE FUEL TANK RECENTLY SO OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A FLAW WITH THE OLD DESIGN WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY I AM HAVING PROBLEMS. NOT ONLY IS THIS A COSTLY REPAIR WHICH IS UNFAIR TO CONSUMERS BUT IT POSES DANGER SINCE FUEL IS LEAKING UNDER THE SEAT AND COULD POTENTIALLY IGNITE AND SET THE WHOLE CAR ON FIRE. *TR
