2012 Dodge Charger complaints

PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR THEY HAVE NOT RELEASE THE PARTS TO MY DEALER AND I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION IN MAY 2016.

NOTE: I HAVE A RECORDING OF THE INCIDENT TO PROVIDE IF NEEDED. I WERE DRIVING TURNING A CORNER AND THE VEHICLE JUST STALLED. A FORD EXPLORER HOPPED THE CURB IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING ME AT APPROX. 35-40 MPH. I RECENTLY HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED AND WITHIN THE PAST 10 DAYS I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE ALONGSIDE AN OILCHANGE. I LOOKED UP MY VEHICLE SAW THAT OTHERS HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT AND SAW THAT DODGE HAS A RECALL FOR MY YEAR MODEL FOR MY EXACT CURRENT ISSUE AND I WERE INFORMED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL. I SAID FOR SURE THIS INCIDENCE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE AND POSSIBLY MY CAR OR OTHERS COULD HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED BUT WHO SHOULD I REACH OUT TO TO CLARIFY. THE RESPONSE, NOONE. YOU ARE STUCK WITH A TRANSMISSION ISSUE EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE A RECALL OUT. THEN I WERE ASKED IF FOR ONLY $130 BUCKS AN HOUR WOULD I LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND CHECK IT IN. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON A ROAD 5 DAYS AGO. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY CAR SINCE I PARKED IT THAT DAY AND ARE QUITE FRANKLY AFRAID AS I TRAVEL WITH MY 2 SMALL CHILDREN. WHAT IS SOMEONE LIKE ME SUPPOSED TO DO?

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I HAD PUT A BRAND NEW BATTERY IN AND MY VEHICLE STATED THAT IT WAS CLOSING DOWN ALL POWER TO SAVE BATTERY. I JUST PULLED INTO AN AUTO DISCOUNT STORE AND SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF MY ENGINE. HAD IT TOWED TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY 180AMP ALTERNATOR. IT HAD BURNT UP JUST LIKE THE PROBLEMS THEY WERE HAVING WITH THE 160AMP BUT BECAUSE THE 180AMP WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL I ENDED UP PAYING $900 TO CHRYSLER TO PUT IN A NEW ALTERNATOR. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE ALTERNATORS BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE MY CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY--THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY ABOUT 63K MILES ON IT. THE ALTERNATOR SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE BAD. IN FACT 2 MORE CHARGERS CAME IN THAT SAME DAY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

WE HAVE GONE MULTIPLE TIMES TO MAC HAIK DODGE CHRYSLER ON 11000 NORTH FREEWAY FOR THE PASSANGER AIR BAG RECALL AND EVERY TIME THEY TELL US THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PIECES NEEDED FOR THE JOB. WHAT CAN WE DO, WHERE DO WE GO GET IT FIXED. WE'VE BEEN GOING THERE FOR MONTHS AND ITS ALWAYS THE DAME STORY. NO PARTS

SOMETIMES I OPEN THE GARAGE IN THE MORNING AND THE TRUNK IS OPEN SOMETIMES RIGHT WHEN I START THE CAR IT WILL OPEN, ILL SHUT IT THEN IT OPENS AGAIN. OTHER TIMES IT WONT OPEN AGAIN ON ITS OWN AFTER I SHUT IT. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL!

ALTERNATOR FAILED AND LOST ALL POWER IN FRONT OF A HIGH SCHOOL. AVOIDED HITTING CHILDREN AND A BUS AND WAS ABLE TO PARK THE CAR. IT WAS A VERY SCARY AND A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE CAR HAD A BATTERY SAFETY MODE LIGHT GO ON, RIGHT BEFORE THE INCIDENT AND I SMELLED A BURNING SCENT COME FROM THE CAR. THE CAR HAS 66,000 MILES ON IT.

ON FEBRUARY 5TH AT APPROX. 11AM WE WERE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY LAS VEGAS STREET WHEN WE HAD A IMMEDIATE SHUT DOWN OF ALL POWER. DASH LIGHT WHEN OFF AND ON, WIPERS WENT ON THEN SHUT OFF, AND THE VEHICLE DIED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE HAD NO POWER, NO POWER TO DO ANYTHING ACTED COMPLETELY DEAD AS IF THE BATTERY HAD BEEN REMOVED. TO HAVE THE VEHICLE LOSE COMPLETE POWER AND TO LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE CREATED AN EXTREME HAZARD TO BOTH MY FAMILY AND TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. WE HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE! IT APPEARS THAT CHRYSLER HAS IDENTIFIED A PROBLEM AND HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE ALTERNATOR FOR THE 3.1 LITER ENGINE IN THE CHARGER BUT FOR THE 5.7 CHARGER THEY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ! THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY PRIOR WARNING OF LOW VOLTAGE OR BATTERY PROBLEM! THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING GREAT AND THEN STOPS IN A HAZARDOUS AREA! THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY IDENTIFIED AND TO NOT PROVIDE A RECALL FOR THIS HAZARD IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND NEGLIGENT! I WOULD EXPECT THAT CHRYSLER CARE ABOUT THE WELFARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THAT THIS RECALL AND FACTORY REPAIR BE IMPLEMENTED IMMEDIATELY! *TR

WHEN WE RECEIVED THE CAR IT HAD A DENT IN BACK BUMPER. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE WOULD LOOK AT HIS SECURITY CAMERAS AND GET BACK TO ME. AFTER A FEW DAYS HE CALLED ME TO NOTIFY ME HE HAD NOT SEEN AN ACCIDENT ON HIS TAPES. NOTIFIED HIM THEY HAD DRIVEN IT FOR 90 MILES DID HE HAVE TAPE ON THAT.

MY LOW BEAM DOES NOT FUNCTION. I GOOGLED MY PROBLEM AND AN EDMONDS ARTICLE IDENTIFIED A RECALL ON POLICE VEHICLES ( P08 ) AND A SUBSEQUENT RECALL ON THE REST OF THE MODEL RUN. WHEN I CALLED THE RECALL LINE GIVEN FOR FCA I WAS TOLD IT DID NOT APPLY TO MY PROBLEM. I WAS TRANSFERRED TO CUSTOMER CARE WHO TOLD ME THEY WOULD DO NOTHING FOR ME SINCE THE RECALLS WERE VIN SPECIFIC. I ASKED IF THERE WAS A REPAIR I COULD ACCOMPLISH AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO TALK TO A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. UNTIL I HAVE A REMEDY I WILL BE DRIVING AROUND WITH ONE HEADLIGHT. IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS THAT THE REPRESENTATIVE IN RECALL CAN AGREE THAT I HAVE THE AFFECTED WIRING IN MY VEHICLE, ACCORDING TO THE BUILD SHEET FOR MY VIN, BUT THEY WILL NOT MAKE THE REPAIR CALLED FOR IN THE RECALL ON THE DEFECT. *TR

MY DODGE CHARGER WENT DEAD WHILE I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY. THE BATTERY INDICATOR CAME ON AND CHARGING SYSTEM ON MY MONITOR, I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE IN THE CAR AND I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO TURN ON A SIDE STREET AS THE WIPERS CAME ON AND SUDDENLY I HAD NO MORE POWER TO STEER THE CAR.

THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO FIND OUT THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS FRIED. I LOOKED UP AT THE TIME MY VEHICLE WAS DOWN BEFORE MY ROADSIDE SERVICE GOT THERE THAT NIGHT. I FOUNDED OUT THERE WAS A P60 RECALL ALTERNATOR (AMP 160) FOR DODGE CHARGER YEAR 2011-2014. I CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATION THE NIGHT I WENT DOWN, AND THEY LOOKED UP AND SAID IT WAS NOT ON MY VEHICLE. THEY SAID I HAD A AMP 180, BUT AFTER GETTING A NEW ALTERNATOR IN MY DODGE CHARGER I'M STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A BATTERY SAVE MODE THAT KEEPS POPPING UP ON MY MONITOR SCREEN. I PLEADED WITH THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ALTERNATOR AND THAT NIGHT I COULD HAVE DIED. IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I DON'T FEEL SAFE EVERYDAY DRIVING, BECAUSE I HAVE TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY TO GO TO WORK. I'M GOING BACK TO THE DODGE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO GET THIS BATTERY SAVE MODE CHECKED OUT, BECAUSE THEY USED ONE OF THE P60 RECALL ALTERN
