2013 Dodge Charger complaints

BODY TRUNK LATCHING OPERATION FAILURE VEHICLE STATIONARY TRUNK RELEASE NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. MOTOR IS STILL MAKING OPERATIONAL SOUNDS, WITHOUT ANY ACTION TO OPEN/RELEASE TRUNK. 2013 DODGE CHARGER

THE TRUNK KEPT OPENING ON IT'S OWN, WITHOUT THE KEY FOB ANYWHERE NEAR IT. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON THE CHARGER AND CHALLENGER MODELS YET THE DEALERSHIP HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT. IT WAS 199.00 BEFORE TAX FOR PARTS AND LABOR FOR A NEW TRUNK SENSOR. THE SCARY PART IS THAT IT OPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION BACKING UP AS WELL.

I BROUGHT THIS 2013 DODGE CHARGER WITH 86,000 MILES USED IN 10/20/2016 FROM SOUTH CHICAGO DODGE AND WHEN I GOT IT, THE CAR USED TO JERK WHEN ACCELERATING AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE CAR PROBLEM THAT I HAD. 1ST TIME THEY HAD FIX THE TRANSMISSION, 2ND, TIME THE HAD PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN AND NOW 2018 ITS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, ITS JUST SOMTHING WITH THIS TRANSMISSION OR WUT EVER ITS CONNECTED TO KEEPS BURNING OUT OR KEEPS DAMAGING THE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T KNOW BUT I HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 75 MPH WHEN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP. THE VEHICLE JUST PASSED 100,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING FRACTURED AND LEAKED OIL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MAGUIRE DODGE RAM OF SYRACUSE (959 HIAWATHA BLVD W, SYRACUSE, NY 13204, (315) 487-6211) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE OIL FILTER HOUSING SYSTEM WAS LOOSE. THE DEALER INSTALLED A NEW OIL FILTER SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,450.

ALTERNATOR

THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH STARTED FLASHING AND THEN WENT OUT AND MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY TRIED TO STOP ON I-95 NORTHBOUND AND THE TRANSMISSION AUTOMATICALLY PARKED FUNCTION OCCURRED AT 75 MPH AND MY CAR ALMOST FLIPPED IT WAS SUCH A HARD STOP.

SEAT BELT MALFUNCTION. DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT MALFUNCTIONS FROM TIME TO TIME, WHERE IT DOES NOT RELEASE WHEN PUSHED TO DISENGAGE. IT SEEMS TO GET STUCK IN THE MIDDLE, BUT THE BUTTON ALSO SOMEWHAT STUCK IN HALFWAY POSITION AND ONLY REMEDY IS TO PUSH THE BUCKLE BACK IN AND TRY TO TO PUSH TO RELEASE. MINIMUM OF 3 ATTEMPTS BEFORE IT ACTUALLY RELEASES. OBVIOUSLY IN A PARKED POSITION WHEN THIS OCCURS. BUT BESIDES FRUSTRATING, TIME CONSUMING...IT CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS WHEN PER SAY YOUR ALTERNATOR CATCHES FIRE AND YOU CANT SEEM TO UNBUCKLE YOUR SEATBELT...OR ANY TYOE OF ACCIDENT WHERE TAKING OFF YOUR SEAT BELT IS CRUCIAL TO YOUR SURVIVAL. OR ANOTHER EXAMPLE, UNABLE TO EXIT VEHICHLE WHEN INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY LAW INFORCMENT. ALTHOUGH QUITE EXTREME EXAMPLES, SUCH DO OCCUR.

PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW NO LONGER OPERATES.IT IS STUCK IN THE UP POSITION, THANKFULLY. BUT IT DOES NO GO DOWN, ALTHOUGH IT IS TRYING, THE NOISE THE MOTOR MAKES WHEM FIRST ENGAGED IS STILL THERE IN AN ATTEMPT TO DO ITS JOB. DOES NOT GO DOWN BY PASSENGER BUTTON, DOES NOT GO DOWN BY DRIVER SIDE BUTTON, BOTH BUTTONS AND NO IT IS NOT ON LOCK POSITION. SAFETY ISSUE YES IN CASE THERE IS AN ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING OBSTRUCTING YOUR DOOR AND ONLY WAY TO ESCAPE IS THROUGH WINDOW...THAT WONT GO DOWN.

TRUNK NO LONGER OPENS. CAME WITH TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON ON FOB, BY STEARING WHEEL AND BY TRUNK ON OUTSIDE, AND NONE OF THESE BUTTONS ACTUALLY DO WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO DO. IT IS ATTEMPTING TO RELEASE SOMEHOW BECAUSE YOU CAN HEAR THE TRUNK WHEN ANY OF THESE BUTTON ARE PUSHES, BUT NO ACTUAL MOVEMENT. HUGE TRUNK, AND NO WAY TO UTILIZE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM).

MY CAR STILL MOVES AFTER PLACING DODGE CHARGER SE VIN: [XXX] INTO PARK ALONG WITH EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE THEN TURNING OFF MOTOR. THE CAR STILL MOVES ON IT'S OWN, SOMETIMES EVEN AFTER SITTING OVER NIGHT. I START TO OPEN ONE OF MY DOORS AND THE CAR STARTS MOVING ON IT'S OWN. ALL OF THIS IS DONE WHILE BEING PARKED ON "EVEN SURFACES", SUCH AS MY DRIVEWAY AT HOME (STATIONARY WITH MOTOR OFF. PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE. IT'S BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR BRAND NEW. I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU. [XXX].

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND STOPPED TO ALLOW ANOTHER CAR TO TURN IN FRONT OF ME, I FLASHED MY LIGHTS ONCE TO ALERT THE OTHER DRIVE TO GO AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON AT A HIGH SPEED. I TRIED TO TURN THEM OFF AND THEY WOULD NOT STOP, I TURNED THE WIPER SWITCH BACKWARDS AND FORWARD AND THEY STILL WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME (IN BROAD SUNNY DAYLIGHT) WITH THE WIPERS GOING VERY FAST ON DRY GLASS! VERY ANNOYING AND UPSETTING - WITH NO WARNING. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE WIPERS WERE STILL GOING. I CONTACTED THE NEAREST DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ASKED ME TO COME THERE. I HAD TO DRIVE TO THEM FROM MY HOME ABOUT 10 MILES TO DEALERSHIP WITH THE WIPERS STILL GOING ON DRY WINDSHIELD (VERY EMBARRASSING AND UPSETTING). ONCE I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD GET THEM TO TURN OFF/STOP, WAS TO REMOVE THE FUSE FROM THE BOX THAT CONTROLS THE WIPERS. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR SOME TYPE OF WARNING I SHOULD HAVE NOTICED PRIOR AND THERE WAS NOTHING! THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT 5 YEARS AGO. WE MAINTAIN SERVICING AND TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF OUR VEHICLES. I'M VERY DISTURBED THAT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM? NOW WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT IT'S THE STEERING COLUMN MODULE? AND ITS ABOUT $800 TO REPAIR! THAT'S RIDICULOUS!

WHILE DRIVING, CAR STARTED SMOKING AND SUDDENLY STALLED GIVING A BURNT SMELL. THE CAR HAS NO POWER WHAT SO EVER. CAR WAS TOWED HOME AT OWN EXPENSE AND TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AFTER HOLIDAY. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD AND SO WAS THE BATTERY.

CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH WILL NOT TURN ON/OFF, AND CANCEL BUTTON WON'T FUNCTION, HAVE HAD CLUSTER REPLACED, AND SOFTWARE UPDATED TWICE(ONCE AT DEALERSHIP, THEN AT MY MECHANICS), THE "REPAIR" ONLY LASTS FOR AROUND 15,000 - 20,000 MILES BEFORE IT STARTS TO ACT UP AGAIN. MOST TIMES AFTER TURNING ON THE VEHICLE THE STEERING WHEEL/CRUISE CLUSTER NEEDS TO GET HIT VIOLENTLY MULTIPLE TIMES TO ENGAGE(TURN ON) THE CRUISE CONTROL, REGARDLESS ON IF VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, OR IN MOTION. SOME TIMES I END UP MAKING A 25 MIN DRIVE(OR MORE IF IT IS HAPPENING ON A ROAD TRIP) ON THE FREEWAY WITH OUT IT EVEN ENGAGING(IF IT TAKES MORE THAN 3 MIN(TIME TO FREEWAY) TO TRY TO GET IT TO ACTIVATE, THEN I DON'T RISK TRYING TO GET IT ACTIVE, BUT WILL TRY EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES TO TURN IT ON WITH OUT SUCCESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT LATCH WOULD NOT ACCEPT THE MALE END OF THE SEAT BELT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEE'S SUMMIT DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (1051 SE OLDHAM PKWY, LEE'S SUMMIT, MO) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

2013 DODGE CHARGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ALTERNATOR SAFETY RECALL. *LD *JS

I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH MY DEALERSHIP REGARDING THE REPAIR OF T36 SAFETY RECALL T36. I HAVE CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THIS REPAIR, EACH TIME, I AM TOLD IT IS ON ORDER. THIS BEGAN IN SEPTEMBER 2017 AND IS ON-GOING.

GAS FUMES FILL THE CAR AFTER FILLING UP

TRANSMISSION SHIFTER STICKS, DIFFICULT TO MOVE AUTOMATIC GEAR FROM PARK, DRIVE, REVERSE NEUTRAL..ETC SQUEAKING NOISE IN STEERING COLUMN

ON MY WAY HOME FROM RENO, NV I WAS GETTING ONTO THE I-80 FREEWAY WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY AND THE CAR MANUALLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL ( IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY) THE CAR BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER AND THEN THERE WAS A LOUD BANG IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY, I CLOSE TO AN EXIT AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF. THE CAR RMPS WERE VERY NIGHT THOUGH THE CAR WAS STALLED. THE DEALER LATER DIAGNOSED THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. SO FAR I'VE HAD 6 RECALLS WITH THIS CAR AND 3 REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY.

WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET IT HIGHWAY THE SPEED CONTROL WILL NO LONGER TURN ON WHEN ON/OFF BUTTON IS PRESSED.

ALTERNATOR

AT TIMES WHEN DRIVING EITHER ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION WILL DOWNSHIFT TO LOW GEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. EX: I'M DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGH SPEEDS AND I HEAR THAT SOUND...LIKE IT HAS BEEN THROWN IN 1ST GEAR. AT TIMES HAVE BEEN DRIVING 60+ MPH WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE ONLY WAY TO "RESET" IS TO HURRY AND PULL OVER AND RESTART VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT SPORADICALLY, DURING THE PAST COUPLE YEARS. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO IN APRIL 2018. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COMES ON. I NOTICE A RECALL FOR TRANSMISSIONS, BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW IT IS NEEDED ON MY MODEL CAR.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER SE ALL OF THE LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE DASH AND THE AUTO TRANS WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR . I RAN MY OBD2 AND IT GAVE A TROUBLE CODE OF U0002 HIGH SPEED CAN BUS. IT THEN STALLED ON THE HWY AND I ABOUT CRASHED THE VEHICLE DUE TO NOW POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. IT IS NOW IN THE SHOP AT 125.00 PER HOUR AND THE DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG EITHER. IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. NO CRANKING NO NOTHING.

WHEN GETTING READY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE THE DISPLAY READS VEHICLE NOT IN PARK AND WON'T ALLOW ME TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF. IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY 45 SECONDS TO A MINUTE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND A WARNING LIGHT COME ON SAYING TRACTION CONTROL WAS TURNED OFF AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS IT WENT OFF AND THEN IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. IT HAS DONE THIS BEFORE AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED A SENSOR IN THE CAR NOW ITS DOING IT AGAIN.

MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER'S DOOR HANDLE OPEN AND STAYS IN THE UP POSITION AND YOU HAVE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE TO GET THE DOOR OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARK POSITION AND UPON TRYING TO ENTER THE VEHICLE THE HANDLE LIFTED AND WAS STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION WITHOUT OPENING THE DOOR. IT HAS NOT LATCHED SINCE THE INITIAL INCIDENT AND THE DOOR HAS TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. IT IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE.

WHENEVER I AM DRIVING AND I TURN LEFT AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS SO HARD TO TURN IT SEEMS AS IF IT'S STUCK. I HAVE COME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO HITTING MEDIANS BECAUSE THE CAR JUST DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO TURN. IT ONLY HAPPENS WITH LEFT TURNS. THE RIGHT SEEMS TO BE OKAY. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CHILDREN KNOWING THAT THE CAR DOESN'T OPERATE PROPERLY. I CHECKED RECALLS BUT THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ONE. I HAVE CHECKED OTHER FORUMS AND SEVERAL 2013 CHARGER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE.

IN MOTION GOING OVER A RAILROAD TRACK ON MCMILLAN AVE (CITY STREET) IN NORTH CHARLESTON, SC. THERE WAS A POT HOLE AT THE RAILROAD TRACK. WHILE GOING OVER TRACK/POT HOLE, HEARD A LOUD THUD. TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR CAME ON ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. TOOK TIRE OFF AND PUT ON MY SPARE.

AS DRIVING UP THE HIGHWAY MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER JERKED AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD THERE WAS A MESSAGE THAT SAID 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION SHUT OFF ENGINE TO ENGAGE PARK' MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS ALSO ON. I PULLED OVER BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK. I TRIED TO PULL BACK OFF TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED, TRAFFICS WAS APPROACHING AND THERE IS WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TRYING PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL TO HURRY AND MOVE BEFORE THE COMING TRAFFICK MADE IT TO ME, IT WAS AN 18 WHEELER. I COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD TODAY DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND I'M NOT WONDERING WHY THERE IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT DODGE MULTIPLE TIMES FOR REIMBURSEMENT ON A FAULTY ALTERNATOR. THE PART WAS ISSUED AS A RECALL (17V-435) ON 07-10-17. SINCE THEN I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO SUBMIT DOCUMENTATION FOR REIMBURSEMENT WITH NO SUCCESS.

MY DODGE CHARGER RT 2013 VEHICLE RANDOMLY REPORTS THAT YOUR NEED TO PUSH DOWN THE CLUTCH IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE. IT ALSO WILL RANDOMLY CUT OFF ON YOU WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND FOR THE ALL TELL ME THAT I CAN DO ANYTHING SINCE WE CANT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE WHY THE VEHICLE WILL REPORT ANYTHING ABOUT AN CLUTCH SINCE IT IS AN AUTOMATIC.

FCA RECALL T36/NHTSA 17V-435 NOTIFIED SIX (6) MONTHS AGO REGARDING ALTERNATOR DIODE THERMAL FATIGUE WHICH MAY RESULT IN ALTERNATOR FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSING A RISK OF CRASH. ALSO, MAY DEVELOP A RESISTIVE SHORT CIRCUIT THAT CAN RESULT IN HEAT, SMOKE AND/OR FIRE ORIGINATING WITHIN THE ALTERNATOR. AS OF 01/09/2018, I FORTUNATELY HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER STATES THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I AM OF THE OPINION THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. IF THEY WAIT LONG ENOUGH, WE WILL FORGET ABOUT THIS RECALL. WOULD THE NHTSA PLEASE INTERCEDE REGARDING THIS MATTER?

WHEN AT A STOP FOR MORE THEN THREE MINUTES, CAR WILL STALL. CAR APPEARS AS IF IT IS STILL RUNNING BUT IT IS NOT. WHEN I PROCEED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH TRAFFIC, CAR WILL EITHER NOT MOVE UNTIL BEING RESTARTED, OR IF ON AN INCLINE WILL ROLL BACKWARDS.

I STARTED MY CAR BY THE FACTORY INSTALLED REMOTE STARTER AND WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT AND I HEARD A HIGH PITCHED HUM COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND THE 'BATTERY SAVER ON' LIGHT WAS ON. I STARTED TO DRIVE AND THE CAR WAS REALLY SLUGGISH ALMOST TO THE POINT IF I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IT WOULD SHUT DOWN.

THEY TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD TAKE THE CAR BACK AND HOPE THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN AND WHEN THE PARTS COME IN FOR THE RECALL COME BACK AND GET IT FIX THEN. I DID CONTACT FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES (FCA) TO TRY AND GET IT TEMPORARY FIX BUT DUE TO THERE BEING NO ERROR CODES THEY WILL NOT FIX ANYTHING.
