TAKATA RECALL WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY STREETS THE OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY STARTED LEAKING OIL ALL THE WAY FROM THE TOP WHERE ITS LOCATED TO THE TRANSMISSION AND EXHAUST PIPES CAUSING A LOT OF SMOKE COME OUT BECAUSE THE OIL BURNIG HAD TO STOP VERY QUICKLY THINKING THE CAR WAS GETTING ON FIRE. AT FIRST DID NOT KNOW WHERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM AFTER INSPECTING I NOTICED IT WAS COMING OUT WHERE THE OIL COOLER ASSAMBLY IS.

I HAD A SMALL AIR LEAK IN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE. I TOOK IT TO GET THE TIRE REPAIRED, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE WHEEL WAS ACTUALLY CRACKED. I TOOK THE CAR TO GET THE RIM REPAIRED, AND IT WAS MAINTAINING PRESSURE. I DID NOT CHECK THE OTHER WHEELS, AS THEY WERE MAINTAINING PRESSURE. APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS LATER, I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING DOWN A LOCAL HIGHWAY (APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH), WHERE THE CAR STARTED SHAKING, AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER RIM WAS CRACKED AS WELL, WHICH LED TO WHEEL FAILURE AND A BLOWOUT. ULTIMATELY, I ENDED UP IN A CONCRETE WALL AND THE CAR WAS TOTALED.

CAR EXPERIENCED RAPID ALTERNATOR FAILURE. REQUESTED DODGE REPAIR AS PART OF RECALL, HOWEVER THEY REFUSED STATING RECALL WAS LIMITED TO 160AMP ALTERNATOR AND MY CHARGER HAD 180AMP. AFTER SOME RESEARCH IN CHRYSLER FORUMS, BOTH THE 160AMP AND 180 AMP ALTERNATORS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME TYPE OF FAILURE. BOTH SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST!

IT HAS ELECTRICA PROBLEMS, SPECIALLY ON LIGHTS. THE REVERSE LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN THE CAR IS ON PARK OR TURNED OFF. THE NOTIFICATION LIGHT KEEPS STAYING ON EVERYTIME EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS ALREADY FIX. THE TIRE PRESSURES KEEPS ON GOING DOWN EVERYDAY.

I'M STILL HAVING, (BATTERY SAVER MODE LIGHT COMING ON). AND NOW I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE ("TAKATA RECALL"). I'VE TAKEN MY DODGE CHARGER BACK TO DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE TODAY, 11/16/17, AS THE (ABS) & (TRACTION CONTROL) LIGHTS BOTH WERE ON. AND AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP I TRIED TO SET MY CRUISE CONTROL AT 75 MPH AS I WAS ON I-77 SOUTH, BUT I COULDN'T GET IT TO SET AT ANY SPEED. TODAY 11/17/2017 MY REPAIR BILL IS $350.00 DOLLARS + A CAR PAYMENT AND HOPEFULLY I CAN GET HOME WITH THE ALTERNATOR ISSUES. I'M TIRED OF PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE ANYWHERE I NEED TO GO. THIS DODGE BELONGS TO A FAMILY OF 4 INCLUDING MYSELF, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET SOMETHING DONE ASAP I THINK I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL VEHICLE AND I DON'T REALLY WANT TO TRADE IT JUST BECAUSE OF THE NO PARTS AVAILABLE, AS MY LUCK WOULD BE, THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE THE SAME MONTH AS I TRADED CARS.

'TAKATA RECALL' DRIVING MY VECHICLE ON CITY ROADS IS FINE, THE VECHICLE RUNS PERFECTLY BUT TAKING IT IN THE HIGHWAY IS ANOTHER PROBLEM. PICKING UP HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE DASHBOARD BEGINS TO SHAKE AS WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL. IT HAPPENS WHEN I REACH 80MPH AND IS A CONCERN TO ME.

2014 DODGE CHARGER WITH ONLY 55K MILES ON IT - POWER STEERING GOING OUT, MID DRIVE IT WILL SET OFF THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHTS AND THEN SOMETIMES THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THIS SEEMS RIDICULOUS FOR A LOW MILEAGE CAR!

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT DOES NOT LOCK IN POSITION. WHEN BRAKING OR STOPPING HARD, THE SEAT TRAVELS FORWARD IN ITS TRACK POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE PASSENGER'S KNEES TO HIT THE LOWER DASHBOARD. EVEN THOUGH THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM SEEMS TO LOCK IN POSITION WHEN SETTING THE POSITION, IT DOES NOT LOCK AND WILL SLIDE FORWARD UPON BARD BRAKING OR A SUDDEN STOP.

I WAS SITTING IN MY CAR IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE . I WENT TO START THE CAR THEN MY DASHBOARD WAS BLINKING WITH ENGINE LIGHT ,BATTERY LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT . THEN SUDDENLY I SEEN "SERVICE POWER STEERING " MY WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN . I TOOK IT UP TO THE STEALERS TO TELL ME IT'S A ELECTRICAL PUMP ISSUE THAT WILL COST ME 2,000 DOLLARS. THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE CAME OUT OF NO WHERE . AFTER I READING DIFFERENT CONSUMERS TESTIMONY , I NOTICED THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THEIR STEERING PUMP . IF I WAS OUT ON THE ROAD AND MY STEERING WHERE STOPPED ON ME , I COULD'VE BEEN DIED . IT SHOULD BE A LAW SUIT FILED ON THEM . I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO EVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM DODGE.

IT IS REAL HARD TO TURN MY CAR WHEEL; I WAS TOLD IT WAS SOME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. BUT I'M REALLY NOT SURE; IT CAME OUT THE BLUE.
