EVERY NOW AND THEN I HAVE AN ODER OF FUEL IN THE CABIN AND THEN ITS GONE RIGHT AWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4-5 TIMES IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS IS THERE A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM OR A LEAK WITH THESE CARS

AT ABOUT 75,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVNG THEN SURGE AND LUNGE FORWARD. AT THAT POINT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SCARED THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME. IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ON THE 10 FREEWAY COMING HOME. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TWO MECHANICS. THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS STUCK CLOSED. I WAS TOLD BY BOTH MECHANICS THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION? IT'S THE TORQUE CONVERTER. IT IS A HAZARD FOR THE CAR TO SURGE AND LUNGE; CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT! HOW CAN I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION WHEN IT STARTED @ 72,000 MILES. BAD PARTS. PLEASE REVIEW THIS PROBLEM. I NEED HELP!!!!! PLEASE CONSIDER AND REVIEW. I CANT AFFORD A NEW TRANSMISSION.!!! IT JUST DOESNT SEEM LOGICAL.

MY POWER STEERING HAS WENT OUT TWICE. MY STEERING LOCKS UP MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. THIS IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS AND HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING.

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CUT OFF. THE COMPUTER WAS NOT REGISTERING THAT THE CAR WAS IN PARK AT ALL. I HAD TO UNPLUG THE BATTERY IN THE TRUNK TO GET THE CAR TO CUT OFF. I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW GEARSHIFT!

SEE MY POST AT CHRYSLERFORUMS.COM HTTPS://WWW.CHRYSLERFORUM.COM/FORUM/NEW-MEMBER-AREA-5/P06DD-ERROR-CODE-PROBLEM-OIL-PUMP-30740/#POST110546 ALSO, IF YOU DO A GOOGLE SEARCH OF "P06DD AND CARCOMPLAINTS.COM" YOU'LL FIND THAT THERE ARE OVER 10 PAGES OF INFO RELATED TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WITH THE OIL PUMP IN THE V6 PENTASTAR ENGINE.

HANDS FREE BLUETOOTH QUIT WORKING, CANNOT CONNECT PHONE, GPS, OR USE AUXILIARY, FACTORY RESETS DID NOT WORK NOR DID BATTERY DISCONNECT. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE BLUETOOTH MODULE MAY HAVE FAILED WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE CASE WITH MANY 2012 CHARGERS. NEW STATE LAW GOES INTO EFFECT IN MAY 2019 WITH THE HANDS FREE LAW BUT I CAN'T COMPLY. IF THIS IS A FACTORY MODULE FAILURE DEFECT, WHY ISN'T THIS VERY IMPORTANT SAFTEY FEATURE PROTECTED UNDER RECALL?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN ROOF WOULD NOT OPEN PROPERLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO PRESS THE OPEN SWITCH MORE THAN A FEW TIMES.

I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT IN REGARDS TO THE ISSUE PREVIOUSLY, BUT NEW INFORMATION THAT MOPAR ISSUED A CAMPAIGN TO RECALL THE TIMING CHAIN ON OVER 50K VEHICLE FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MOPAR REFUSED TO COVER MY TIMING CHAIN DUE TO MY VEHICLE HAD TO MANY MILES AND I AM NOT THE FIRST OWNER. I FIND IT COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO HAVE A TIMING CHAIN SNAP WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON A MAIN STREET WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURED. PLEASE ADVISE IF ANYTHING FURTHER COMES. I ATTACHED A COPY OF THE PREVIOUS RECALL ON THIS ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN IT WAS TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION. ROBERT LOEHR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (567 E MAIN ST, CARTERSVILLE, GA 30121, (770) 382-5885) WAS NOTIFIED, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO WARRANTY. A LOANER VEHICLE WAS PROVIDED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK FOR THE STEERING WHEEL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT ISSUED A STEERING RECALL REMEDY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY SERVICED THE VEHICLE FOR AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER STEERING RECALL CAMPAIGN AND ISSUED SEVEN TSBS FOR THE STEERING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

TIMING CHAIN SNAPPED WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE THE 5.7 LITER V8 HEMI. I HAVE READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THE SAME ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 105K MILES ON IT.

2 OF THE 4 BOLT HEADS SHEARED OFF OF THE REAR CONNECTING POINTS ON THE ENGINE CRADLE. DRIVERS SIDE TIME IS UNKNOWN. PASSENGER SIDE HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN CAR WAS COMING IN TO PARK. SEE PHOTOS. IF THE PASSENGER SIDE BOLT HEAD HAD SHEARED OFF ON THE ROAD, I WOULD HAVE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR. COULD THIS HAVE CAUSED A SEVERE ACCIDENT WHILE DOING THE COMMON SPEED LIMIT OF 75MPH? THEN THE ACTUAL CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED AS THE SHEARED BOLT HEADS WOULD HAVE BEEN CONTRIBUTED TO THE ACCIDENT. CAUSE OF FAILURE HAS BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO RUST, BUT I CANNOT SEE A 1/2 BOLT RUSTING THROUGH IN 7 YEARS, EVEN IF 5 YEARS WERE SPENT IN NORTHERN OHIO. REPAIRS COST OVER $3800.00

MY BRAKES ARE FAILING SOMETIMES THE PEDAL GOES DOWN TO THE BOTTOM AND LOSES THE BRAKE AND WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR AND PUMP THE PEDAL IT WORKS AGAIN

HAD A PREVIOUS RECALL ON AN ISSUE WITH DRIVERS AIR BAG THAT WAS CORRECTED BUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AND RING I BELIEVE THIS MODEL IS ALSO PART OF THE CURRENT AIRBAG RECALL BUT MY VIN SAYS NO RECALLS AT THIS TIME I BELIEVE THAT TO BE INCORRECT

MY 2012 DODGE CHARGER (BOUGHT NEW) WHEN TURNING SHARP TO LEFT, U TURN IT GETS STUCK AND HARD TO TURN. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL DODGE CHARGER OWNERS, DIFFERENT YEAR BUT SAME MODEL AND MAKE CAR OWNERS WHO HAS OR HAD SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IT COSTS THOUSANDS TO FIX AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH DODGE AND RECALL SENT OUT ON CARS IMMEDIATELY. THIS PROBLEM NOT TURNING AND STEERING GETTING STUCK COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT!

CAR WON'T START SOMETIMES. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WILL BE ON WHEN I GET TO MY CAR BUT WONT RECOGNIZE MY KEY. THE LIGHTS WILL BLINK ON AND THE WIPERS WILL COME ON THEN STALL. I HAVE TO GET A JUMP CONSTANTLY. THE BATTERY IS NEW SO IT ISN'T THAT. I HAD THE CAR TESTED AT AUTO ZONE AND IT READ FINE. I WAS ADVISED TO GET THE FUSES CHECKED. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC HE SAID IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. THE CAR IS ALWAYS IS ALWAYS IN STATIONARY WHEN IT DOES THIS. LUCKILY I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS WHILE ON THE ROAD YET. THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING ALSO A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THIS PROBLEM. IT WOULD GLITCH ON AND OFF. THE SCREEN WILL STILL DO THIS BUT THE SOUND ISN'T WORKING AT ALL.

SEALED TRANSMISSION MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO ADJUST FLUID LEVELS THAT CAN KEEP TRANSMISSION FROM FREEZING AND LOCKING UP. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE HAS A HORRIBLE BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND SHIFTING IS BECOMING IRRADIC WITH CAN CAUSE TRAFFIC ISSUES. IT OCCURS MOSTLY IN TOWN DRIVING AFTER STOPPING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME (STREET LIGHTS). RECENTLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE P0208 CODE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS UNINTENTIONALLY WENT OUT. DULUTH DODGE INC (4755 MILLER TRUNK HWY, DULUTH, MN 55811, (218) 720-6123) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V101000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK ON 18 NOVEMBER 2018 MY VEHICLES RADIO BECAME INTERMITTENT ON ALL SETTINGS. BLUETOOTH, AUXILLARY, SATTELITE AND REGULAR RADIO HAD AN INTERRUPTION IN THE AUDIO AT REGULAR INTERVALS. I SMELLED AN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL AND PULLED OVER. I POPPED THE TRUNK AND THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE FUSEBOX NEXT TO THE REAR TIRE. THE RADIO AMPLIFIER FUSE HAD MELTED ITSELF INTO THE FUSEBOX AND WAS CONTINUING TO SHORT. CHARGER HAS AN OPEN RECALL FOR ALTERNATOR SCHEDUALED FOR SERVICE 26 DECEMBER 2018

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED LEFT OR RIGHT.

WAS PUTTING GASOLINE IN MY 2012 DODGE CHARGER AND IT WOULD ONLY TAKE A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL BEFORE SPITTING IT BACK OUT AT YOU WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT NOT FOR THE 2012 MODEL CHARGER SXT 3.6 LITER. THE DEALER IS CHARGING ME OVER $1,700 DOLLARS TO FIX AND THE 2006 THROUGH 2011 HAVE THIS ISSUE. WE HAD THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND IT WAS RECALLED AND FIXED TWICE. IT STARTED DOING IT AT AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE AS WE NOW HAVE ON THE CHARGER. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR FUEL TO BE SPIT OUT ON YOU AS YOU ATTEMPT TO FUEL THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS FAULTY AND WAS REPAIRED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC; HOWEVER, THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING.

THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND HAD IT TOWED TO SUNLAND PARK DODGE (950 CROCKETT ST, EL PASO, TX 79922, (915) 228-2005) FOR REPAIRS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE ALTERNATOR. ACCORDING TO THE CONTACT, THE DEALER INSTALLED A RECALLED ALTERNATOR INSTEAD OF A NEW ONE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000. *TT*JB

IT WAS IN DRIVE AND WHEN I OPEN THE DOOR IT REFUSE TO GET INTO GEAR AND WENT BACK INTO PARK AND THEN WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT IN GEAR OR REVERSE IT WOULDN'T DO EITHER AND THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT BOTH CAME ON AND I HAD TO LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 15 OR 20 MINUTES BEFORE IT WOULD GET INTO A GEAR FOR ME TO DRIVE IT....AND THIS WAS AFTER THE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE GEAR SHIFTER SO I FEEL THAT STILL HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH MY GEAR SHIFTER THAT THEY DID THE RECALL ON...IT DIDNT START HAPPENING UNTIL THAT SAFETY SHIFT WENT INTO PARK WHEN I OPEN MY DOOR AND IT WOULDNT GO INTO ANOTHER GEAR AFTER THAT....

WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, VEHICLE DISPLAYED WARNING LIGHTS AND STALLED. WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE THE GEAR SHIFT WAS LOCKED IN PARK POSITION. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD LOCKED UP. I AM AWARE THAT THERE WAS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION SENT OUT BY CHRYSLER, BUT WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT IT AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE DIDN'T FALL UNDER THAT NOTIFICATION.

PASSENGER HID LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS OFF. AFTER A PERIOD OF THE VEHICLE BEING SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED THE LIGHT WILL COME BACK O BUT WILL SHUT OFF AGAIN AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL ON THE WIRING HARNESS, BUT NOTHING IS SHOWING ON MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE FOR THE RECALL.

I'M STAFF SERGEANT JASON MARTINEZ. I BOUGHT MY 2012 DODGE CHARGER BRAND NEW IN NOVEMBER 2013 AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THIS CAR SINCE. RECALL AFTER RECALL ALL THE WAS TO AN ISSUE WHERE MY ENGINE IS FAILING. HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/CHARGER/. HERE IS A WEBSITE DEVOTED TO THE ISSUES CAR OWNERS HAVE WITH RECALL LEMON AUTOS. THE 2012 DODGE CHARGER IS FULL OF ISSUES. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

MY 2012 DODGE CHARGER IS HAVING THE SAME LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ISSUE AS THE RECALL POSTED 5/2/2014 FOR MY YEAR. HOWEVER, WHEN I LOOK UP MY VIN NUMBER, ITS SAYING THERE IS NO ACTIVE RECALLS.

TAKATA RECALL ONE MORNING AS I GOT INTO MY CAR TO HEAD TO WORK, I STARTED HEARING THIS CLICKING NOISE. IT LASTED FOR ABOUT 1 MIN., THEN IT STOPPED. I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND AGAIN. I WAS NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS SEEING AS I BASICALLY HAVE HAD JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING REPLACED IN MY VEHICLE DUE TO ALL THESE RECALLS OVER THE YEARS. AFTER RESEARCHING, I NOTICED SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. I KNOW THE DODGE RAM ACTUALLY HAD A RECALL. FOUND OUT IT WAS THE ACTUATOR. THE AMOUNT OF TIME THE CLICKING NOISE LAST HAS GOTTEN LONGER AND IT WILL RANDOMLY START EVEN AFTER MY CAR IS NO LONGER RUNNING AND JUST SITTING IDLE. THIS IS SO ANNOYING CONSIDERING I KNOW I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO MY CAR TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE AND I'M SURE ITS A MANUFACTORY'S ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. THIS NOISE IS LOUD ,ANNOYING AND EMBARRASSING, AND I DON'T WANT TO PAY A TON OF MONEY TO REPLACE A $40 PART, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ISSUE IS HAPPENING TO MULTIPLE VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT, CRUISE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT, LOSS OF ALL WHEEL DRIVE WARNING LIGHT, LOSS OF FRONT END PROTECTION WARNING LIGHT, AND ABS WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON - AFTER SCAN, CODE P0128 APPEARS INDICATING THAT THE COOLANT THERMOSTAT HAD A FAULT. ACCORDING TO SERVICE TECH, MOST COMMON SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR (ECT). THIS APPARENTLY IS VERY A COMMON ERROR ON ALL MOPAR ENGINES MODEL YEARS 2006-2012 OR SO AND THIS HAPPENS ON A LOT OF THEM. SINCE THIS IS APPARENTLY A MISTAKE ON MOPAR'S PART AND IS VERY COMMON FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL, IT SHOULD BE PAID FOR AT THE DEALERS EXPENSE. I WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR THIS WAS A SOMEWHAT KNOWN ISSUE BUT THAT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ENACTED FOR IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE PLUG IN PART FOR THE HEADLIGHT, WHICH WAS MELTING. AFTER THE CONTACT TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT CALLED JIM COGDILL DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (8544 KINGSTON PIKE, KNOXVILLE, TN 37919, (865) 690-1611) AND WAS INFORMED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE SINCE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS ALREADY PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN ECO MODE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT START. DEALER SAID THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED. SPEED WAS ABOUT 70-75 MPH

PDC AND AC WIRING MELTED TOGETHER. WIRE HARNESS IS PART OF HEADLAMP TO DASH HARNESS. AC WILL GO IN AND OUT ON IT'S OWN. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP IT REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF PDC AND HEADLAMP TO DASH WIRING HARNESS. PDC AND WIRED SHOULD NOT MELT TOGETHER CAUSING EXPOSED WIRES

TAKATA INFLATORS WE BROUGHT OUR CAR TO LAKELAND DODGE IN FLORIDA AS SCHEDULED, TO HAVE THIS RECALL FIXED. AFTER 4HOURS OF WAITING THEY SAID THEY DID THE REPAIR TO CORRECT IT. WE CHECKED THE DATABASE ON THIS SITE AND IT SAID THAT THE REPAIR IS WAS NOT CONDUCTED. I NEED TO GET THIS FIXED AND I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO WASTE. I ATTACHED THE INVOICE SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT THEY DID.

I WAS LEAVING A MECHANIC SHOP AFTER A TIRE CHANGE I ENTERED THE ROAD N ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR JUST DIED ON ME I CALLED THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT'S THE ALTERNATOR HE CAME AND GOT IT ON HIS FLAT BED SO I CHECK TO SEE IF MY CAR WAS ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THE ALTERNATOR AND SURE ENOUGH IT WAS

THE OIL PUMP IS NOT GIVING ENOUGH PRESSURE FOR THE CAR TO ACCELERATE THEREFORE CAUSING PROBLEMS ON THE ROAD AND MANY TIMES DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. THERE IS ALSO A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I REPLACED EVERYTHING THAT COULD BE WRONG WITH IT EXCEPT THE DUAL STAGE OIL PUMP. I'VE TALKED TO MANY TECHNICIANS AND THEY SAID THAT THAT IS THE ONLY THING IT CAN BE. PLEASE REVIEW THIS ON THE 2012 DODGE CHARGER SXT RWD 3.6L ENGINE. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

I HAVE REPLACED 6 PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM WIRING HARNESSES IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS DUE TO THE HARNESS MELTING AT THE LIGHTBULBS CONNECTOR. ALSO REPLACING LIGHTBULBS EACH TIME BECAUSE ONCE THE HARNESS MELTS THEY CANNOT BE SEPARATED CAUSING AN ADDED ADDITIONAL COST EACH TIME TO THE PROBLEM. I PURCHASED A NEW LIGHTBULB HARNESS 3 WEEKS AGO & HAD IT INSTALLED DUE TO MY LOW BEAM GOING OUT YET AGAIN, & YESTERDAY EVENING NOTICED IT WAS OUT AGAIN!!!! AFTER ALL THE TIME AND MONEY SPENT, I'M GETTING TIRED OF THIS AND FRANKLY IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO KNOW ELECTRICAL STUFF IS BURNING UP UNDER YOUR HOOD THAT SHOULD BE SAFE! ALSO IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO HAVE HEADLIGHTS OUT IN MY STATE GEORGIA.

MY VEHICLE IS GIVING A MESSAGE THAT SAYS 'BATTERY SAVER MODE.' THE BATTERY IN THE VEHICLE IS IN PERFECT CONDITION, THE ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED AND I AM STILL GETTING THIS MESSAGE. ACCORDING TO BLOGS MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE CAR IS AT RISK OF SPONTANEOUSLY CUTTING OFF WHILE IN BATTERY SAVER MODE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. IT MAY BE A SENSOR ISSUE IDK AND MY LOCAL DODGE IS ALSO UNSURE

MY POWER STEERING PUMP HAS WENT OUT ON ME TWICE WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. THE FIRST TIME WAS LAST YEAR AS I WAS DOING A LEGAL U-TURN ON A STREET. I WASN'T ABLE TO GET THE MY CAR STRAIGHT ALMOST WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. I GOT THE PUMP REPLACED AND THEN 4 MONTHS LATER AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON THE STREET, THE PUMP WENT OUT AGAIN. ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AGAIN. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO RECALLS ON THE POWER STEERING PUMP.
