Takata recall. This vehicle is used by my son who car pools to school. The distance is approx 35 - 45 minute commute each way.while i have been notified of the recall , i don't think the solution is satisfactory.since this vehicle has a passenger most every day i think dodge should provide a loaner/rental until the problem is fixed. Lives are at stake!
Unsafe vehicle due to airbag inflator housing not being replaced though recalled many months ago by manufacturer. Chrysler corporation is giving us no updates as to when the proper parts will be ready for immediate service....this is highly unacceptable!the daily anxiety they are putting consumers through is ridiculous. They tell us don't drive the car if you are concerned but we have to use these vehicles to drive to work etc...please try to find out where they are in solving these critical problems ! i have asked both the local dealer and the national chrysler corp and neither will provide an answer!

Car was parked. Floor shifter would not come out of park, ignition key would not come out of ignition switch. Ac distribution housing broken,vehicle wheels bent from normal driving. Dealer said key, ignition switch, floor shifter, other associated parts need replacement.. Over $7000 repair, wheels not included.
While driving my 2007 dodge charger my cell phone charger caught on fire in my console.the dealership said that this was not warrantied.i had to pay $1,000 out of pocket.this fire was not put there by me.i did not start the fire.we had to pull fuse out of outlet because the fire continued blazing.i think this is a factory defect.i have a kawasaki dealership and if this would have happened on our unit,. Kmc would have covered it.how can dodge expect me to buy extended warranty when basic did not cover my outlet catching on fire.my cell phone was being charged when the fire started.
This is the 3rd time this has happen and i have 12,000 miles on my 07 dodge charger. I love my car but i am terrified that something bad may happen to me while driving it because when driving 60 mph on the highway my speedometer drops to "zero" then back to normal speed.... The car has only jerked 1x when this has happened and other times there is no change. The first time the dealership found there was a faulty computer and had to replace it. I told them on that first visit that therewas very loud knocking on the left side of the front of the car also at this time. The second time they tried updating the soft wear and now they are working on it yet again!!!! i am so afraid of this thing giving out on me on the busy highway.
Tech went to go pull part from parts department and was told vehicles part was discontinued.
This is now the third time the vehicle has stalled while in gear. Galeana in ft myers has serviced the vehicle after every incident. We have been out of a vehicle for an accumulative of over thirty days, had to pay for rentals, taxes, gas to get to and from the dealer and bogus repair costs. The first service charge was that of 500 hundred dollars, which the vehicle stalled a few days later and the techs said the service they had done would not have fixed the stalling!!???what??. They then replaced the relay fuse worth fifteen dollars the 2nd time it was serviced, the vehicle stalled two days after having it back and we were on our way to the hospital in the vehicle! i need this documented because this time dodge corporate responded in less than twelve hours to galeana to have the car serviced and a main wire replaced and it hasn't stalled since, but now i want reimburse!!!
Car battery exploded in the trunk of the car.
While driving to work the instrument panel gauges and warning lights began to go haywire. The gauges dropped to 0 and the warning lights and bells began to flicker and ring. The fan/heater began fluctuating up and down as well. Early on, this would occur intermittently. Now it is more consistent. It is occurring daily-- more so in the early morning hours. It is quite scary because you have no idea what will happen next. I acquired a video of this event. It can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdz-uczi2de.

We have experienced a shudder while stopped for lights on and off for years, since the car was new in 07. The dealer could not find anything wrong (no codes) and could not duplicate the complaint. Then in 2013 it began stalling at lights after the shudder and sometimes without the shudder. Again leaving no codes. I'm a ase certified master tech of forty years. A torque converter lockup could cause it to shudder and stall, but should leave a code. But a defective crank position or cam position sensor could shut igntion off without leaving a code. Therefore, for a total of $32.50 i changed both sensors. It fixed both issues for 7 or 8 months. Suddenly, today 12/30/14 it's doing both again! there's to many complaints about this to ignore the safety issues of stalling in traffic while standing still driving 60 mph.help fix this problem before someone is killed!!!!!! thanks.
Vehicle caught on fire and burned.

My 2007 charger is having the same problem that so many others have had... While driving, all the warning lights come on at once, fan (heat, a/c) goes dead, all gauges drop to zero and automatic headlights turn off... After a couple seconds, everything goes back to normal except for the headlights, those have to be manually turned on... This was happening once in a while before, but now is happening multiple times a day. Dealership has no answers and i called the 1 800 number for dodge with no luck. Has anyone had this diagnosed properly and fixed?
The electronic throttle control causes the car to lose power while driving. It makes it impossible to accelerate. It usually happens on a cold start and has happened on occasion after the car has warmed up. The dealer claims that they can't do anything about it unless it happens while at the dealership, because there is no way to read an error code.

This vehicle while driving 40 mph down the road suddenly had the battery light come on then the transmission light then all the warning gauges came on and started blinking as this was happening the vehicles engine was accelerating and decelerating, and the vehicle would not go past first gear road the shoulder until i could get safely off the road. Shut vehicle off it seemed to correct the problem. Went to have battery and alternator checked both were fine. Since then every few days the battery light will come on and then go off after vehicle is restarted. Today 2/11/2015 the battery light came on again and the vehicle started to buck around 40 mph then stop if i accelerated or decelerated. And at one point when idling at a red light it stalled and then started back up. I have heard a lot of similar issues with this problem with this vehicle. We as the consumers should not to be made to shell out thousands of dollars for things that the manufacturer should stand behind. We pay enough for the car to begin with we shouldn't have to pay more for something that is obviously not isolated to one or two incidents. Some of the parts that are rumored to be the problem are fcm, tcm, and ecm. All are supposedly fixed with a computer update. Well then so be it don't charge us the consumer.

My vehicles engine light was on while i was taking it to get inspected. Aaa ran a test to find out as to why the engine light was on. The diagnostics should a problem with the plenum, air intake valve and the car needed a reflash or update in the cars computer. I took the vehicle down to a dodge dealership and found out that the plenum is a common fail part and is a dealer only part and cost 969.00 to replace. After having the reflash done on my vehicle and finding out about the plenum i returned to aaa to find out if they could fix the problem cheaper. They then checked the recall list to see if their were any recalls. The recalls for my vehicle were for the cars computer system , the interlock mechanism for the clutch, and the radiator fan. After finding out about the reflash being on recall i called the dealership in an attempt to get my money back and was told recalls are vin specific, even though distributed by regular mechanics. After fixing the engine light problem and getting my car inspected, 3 days later the interlock mechanism broke and would not allow me to move the clutch to put car in gear. I took it to the dealership again and paid for a diagnostics and was told the problems i am having are all listed in the recalls but they can not fix due to recalls being vin specific. I paid 478.00 for interlock to be fixed. I have two more items on my vehicle listed for recall and i now keep getting a lightning bolt warning sign on my dash when my vehicle is idle. I have paid for 2 out of 4 recalls that should have been taken care of by the dealership but were nt due to them being vin specific even though everything matches up what's wrong with my vehicle and what is being recalled.
I own a 2007 dodge charger. Biggest piece of junk ever in my drive way.i was excited when the challenger came out, my daughter would get the charger and momma would get the new challenger. I can say, that wont be happening.in the three years i've had this car, i have had to spend several hundred dollars to have the transmission fixed from leaking fluid. A part i was told that was manufactured incorrectly, but no recall, i had to purchase the fix kit myself.within 6 months from this happening, the instrument cluster went out. Loosing all electronics in the car. Again, no recall another $600+ out of my pocket. Now just this week the "pink thinky" has messed up.this left me stranded in any empty parking lot at work on a friday afternoon and my husband an hour away.thank goodness the mechanic shop i go to could tell me how to override and get me home. Of course i called the dodge dealership first, but low and behold the service department could not help me. The answer, "i can send a tow truck. I do know there is an override but i'm not sure how it works."really!three things right there a recall should be issued on!this car should not have the problems it does without someone taking responsibility for correcting it.mitsibishi has dodge beat by along shot!00 galant, was traded in for the charger with 260k miles on it, never spent 1 dime that was not for routine maintenance, and it still ran, drove and handled like it did the day i bought it. But i just had to have the new dodge charger, big mistake on my part! there will never be another dodge anything in my driveway. I know dodge does not care, i'm just one out of millions but they should!dodge can go bankrupt totally, and never manufacture another thing and my work would keep right on revolving!

I purchased my 2007 dodge charger se on feb 17 2009. I had multiple problems when i bought the vehicle including the airbag light being on which they fixed by recalibrating the unit. The left washer fluid module had to be replaced and the passenger headlight had condensation that was poorly repaired by placing silcone around my headlight. The shop also said that they had to recalibrate the transmission because it was slipping and was causing my speedometer to drop to 0 but the rpm would never move and the car would not lose power. On march 7 i drove 90 miles away from home when i exited my vehicle and got about 10 feet away the car exploded in flames. The car drove beautifully the entire trip never hesitated and never overheated, never indicated any kind of problem!!!! the entire front of my car to the dash was completely melted within 5 minutes of the car exploding. Luckily i did not have my children with me and i was not in home as i park my new vehicle in the garage, i would have lost everything i own. The fire department had to bust out the rear window to get my purse because the only key hole is in the front door and the fob would not work to unlock the car. This is a huge safety hazard!!! if my 2 small children had been in the car i would have not been able to get them out in time because of how fast the car exploded!!! the fire department determined that it was the electrical system under the hood. The dealership i bought the vehicle from 2 weeks ago told me to go '!@#$%myself and deal with my insurance company that it has nothing to do with them. Please if you have this car or are considering buying this car please please don't do it!!!!
It was a hot day over 90f. I started the car. The speedometer cluster did not work. All the lights including engine light, esp, break, traction control was on. I turned the car off and restarted with the same issue. I let the engine warm up and then restarted the car with the same issue. I started to drive home, the instrument cluster did not work, speedometer showed 0mph. I took it to a local mechanic, he told me to re-flash the computer and change the speedometer cluster.

While driving to work the instrument panel gauges and warning lights began to go haywire. The gauges dropped to 0 and the warning lights and bells began to flicker and ring. The fan/heater began fluctuating up and down as well. Early on, this would occur intermittently. Now it is more consistent. It is occurring daily-- more so in the early morning hours. It is quite scary because you have no idea what will happen next. I acquired a video of this event. It can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdz-uczi2de.

Ive had issues that i am reporting to thus site. Dealership said my vin didn't match. My esp, abs, and bas lights have been on for 2 years. I went to dealership to inquire on ecu flash with new software by recall, but the dealership said only police package vehicles were included in that recall. Ive researched countless hours to find very many people who have this same problem. Now i am needing to bring my car in for the airbag recall.from what it states on thiswebsite, my recall was ordered back in may, 2015. From the information that i read,there was supposed to be a 60 day time span within which the dealership was supposed to fix my airbag issue, and the fact that my vehicle vin number falls under this recall order, i believe that i was previously misled by chrysler dodge jeep about the issues pertaining to my abs, bas, and esp issues which regard a wheel speed sensor, from my understanding, that causes me to lose traction, trouble braking in moist to wet weather, and my cruise control option has not worked since the abs, bas, and esp lights first came on 2 years ago, when my wheels lost traction while pulling into a gravel driveway at about 5 miles an hour.i drove off road accidentally twice in the passed year: the first time was caused by a lack of abs and a braking assistance system which caused only minor damage to front bumper. The second time was due to loss of tire traction while pulling away from a stop sign while it was raining, causing me to spin out into a 180 degrees turn to which my tires caught traction and i acceled through a white picket fence on the corner of the street while my foot firmly jammed on the brake pedal to try and prevent personal or external damage. Still damaging passenger fender and front grille. I'm close to request of a depreciated financial reimbursement on vehiclal. My safety, security, and trust has become compromised.
My vehicle was released to me from carstar of macon with a knowingly inoperable tpms on all four of my tires. I was not told this before i paid and drove away. I got 5 minutes down the road and felt violent shaving in the steering wheel. I turned around and drove the vehicle back to carstar and waited about 20 minutes for them to tell me that they were aware that the tpms was inoperable. That they were aware that all four sensors were not working properly and that one had actually fallen out into the tire itself and was bouncing around in the wheel well knocking off the alignment of the vehicle. They gave me an option of fixing it or removing the sensors. I was told that they would try to contact my insurence company to see if they would pay for the damaged parts that were operating normally before they switched out the new tire wheels. Again they release the vehicle to me with an inoperable tpms system and advise meto drive over 60 mph.

Takata recall - while exiting a highway into a shopping center, my car completely shut off. My wife was unable to steer the vehicle. Fortunately we were able to restart the vehicle before an accident occurred. This episode was very frightening. Very unsafe. I don't know what caused this, but this desperately needs recalling. Thank you for your concern in this matter.

I was driving home along with my wife from running errands when my vehicle shut down while driving at 45mphs per hour. I called aaa to come and tow my vehicle. They did just that and the service-contracted towing company for aaa dropped my dodge charger rt off to the auto repair shop that i'm accustomed to going. The mechanic told me that the battery was drained heavily from the engine problem. So he took out the old battery i had and put in a new battery. Once he did that he tried to get the dodge charger rt to start but there was no luck. But eventually some electrical power was restored to a level in order for a diagnostic test to be performed. Once this mechanic completed the diagnostic test he told me that the codes he received are identical to the recall problems associated with the 2007 model of the dodge charger rt. He told me that the 2007 model for this vehicle had the most recall problems for the issue that i experienced which were engine problems. He said that the engine problems were the second most recalled issue after the transmission problems for this vehicle. He told me that i needed to investigate about getting a recall complaint made for this vehicle with the manufacturer (dodge), because the engine problem justified the same recall issues that previous owners had with the model and year of this vehicle. Please help me because i was told that the manufacturer warranty expired.

My husband and i were riding in our vehicle, all of a sudden we heard a loud pop sound come from the front of the vehicle. My husband then observed the temperature gauge on the vehicle rising, and the red light suddenly appeared. We were only minutes away from our home when this occurred, so we were able to immediately returned home. Once the vehicle was parked in the driveway, the hood was opened and we both observed a plastic fan blade broken and hanging out of the fan's casing. We also observed fluid inside of the hood underneath of thw line directly across from the broken hanging fan blade. We also observed fluid on the ground directly underneath of this line. Vehicle has 137,000 miles on it. Vehicle is scheduled to go into shop monday morning.
This is regarding a 2007 dodge charger srt-8.the vehicle was functioning normally when i was suddenly unable to accelerate in stop and go traffic.the traction control and electronic throttle control (etc) warning lights illuminated and the vehicle began "sputtering" as i tried to accelerate.i exited at the next available off-ramp and came to a stop at which point the engine shut off and i was unable to start it again.i had it towed to the nearest chrysler/dodge dealership/service center and after about a week i was informed that the #2 cylinder had 0 psi compression.they said they had to open the engine to get further information as to why it had no compression.after opening the engine, they found that the valve seat for the #2 cylinder was warn and needs to be replaced.given that this vehicle only has 70k miles on it, i believe this failure is premature.there were absolutely no signs of degradation in vehicle performance leading up to this incident.i use this vehicle to commute to work about 35 miles each way, everyday.i take very good care of the vehicle and service it regularly if not earlier than the recommended mileage/time.
My 2007 dodge charger cooling fan broke and busted the radiator i need to if and when it will be under a recall.
Excessive oil consumption with this 3.5 liter v6 engine. One quart of 10w30 mobil 1 is lost every 400 to 500 miles. No leaks, no blue smoke, no drops in driveway or street. Coolant color is fine, no contamination and remains at same level.
I was driving on the freeway going about 65 mph with cruse control when i felt a odd vibration, i noticed the car was off. While i was coasting on to the shoulder, i noticed that the steering and braking were heavy. I pulled to the shoulder, put the car in park and restarted the car. This car is a moving death trap and if not for the light traffic or the side shoulder there could have easily been a crash and or fatality.
Valve seats dropped on cylinder 1 and 7 while driving on highway causing severe damage to internal cylinder and causing over heat of car also no longer turns on. Caused some spark plugs to bend due to piston hitting them. Photo attached is the cylinder damaged from piece of valve seat bouncing around inside the piston.
I was sitting at a stop light and heard a pop. The cooling fan blade on the passenger side of the car had broken and made a hole in my radiator. I immediately took the car to a mechanic and they replaced the fan blade and the radiator. Three weeks later the exact same thing happened to the fan blade on the driver side of the car, once again making a hole in my new radiator. I feel that this is a huge design flaw and, apparently, a huge problem with 2006-2008 chargers. I'm so glad i was in town on small local streets both times when this happened. It would have been terrible if it had happened on the freeway.i checked with the dealer to see if there is any kind of recall for this part and there isn't. I have the 5.7l v6 hemi charger and it has a little over 100,000 miles.
My wife was driving car in town and she heard a load pop from engine compartment.. Noticed car was starting to heat up, stopped car from the smell and smoke from front of car. Pulled over and opened hood and noticed radiator had been damaged from the engine side. Once i got there noticed the big hole in radiator and one of the cooling fan blades had broken and damaged the radiator.
Takata recall - while exiting a highway into a shopping center, my car completely shut off. My wife was unable to steer the vehicle. Fortunately we were able to restart the vehicle before an accident occurred. This episode was very frightening. Very unsafe. I don't know what caused this, but this desperately needs recalling. Thank you for your concern in this matter.
Vehicle stalled while sitting at red light.vehicle engine revved slightly and then shut off.this same incident has occurred approximately twenty-five times since that date.each time it is after coming to a stop.
The contact owns a 2007 dodge charger. The contact stated that the engine fan failed. While driving approximately 40 mph, the engine emitted a loud noise and the vehicle abruptly stalled. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic (chick's auto repair, 540-347-3992, warrenton, va) who diagnosed that the engine fan failed, which caused the radiator to fail. The manufacturer advised the contact to tow the vehicle to have a diagnostic test performed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer (chrysler dodge jeep, 540-905-7223, warrenton, va) for a second diagnostic test, which confirmed that the engine fan blade fractured and caused the radiator to fail. The manufacturer informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in the engine blade replacement warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 52,000.

I own a 2007 dodge charger v6 engine on nov the 14th i was driving 40 miles per hour oil light suddenly came on started flashing really fast and making a dinging noise, all of a sudden there was a loud fast ticking under hood then the car shuts off luckily i was close to the dodge dealership i was able to coast into the parking lot i cut the car off and tried to crank it back up it would not start but all my lights came on as if it was going to crank the technician came and checked my oil it was full and clear because i make sure i keep my routine maintenance done on my vehicles, they told me that they needed to keep my car to figure out what was wrong with it i said ok that's fine, on nov 17th 2014 i called to see if they had found out what was wrong they told me that my motor had locked uphow is that possible when i keep everything checked and up to date and fluid levels checked i also get the 16 point multi check done every time i go in there it gets put on the machine to check to see if there are any issues with my car, in other words i need a new motor i always do preventive maintenance on my charger this should not have happened at all. I also needed to replace my gear shift it got stuck in park and i had to have it towed and i had to pay to get the gear shift replaced, as well as getting the relay switch replaced as well.needless to say i am still without transportation.
I have an 2007 dodge charger and i love my car. I got it in 2007 my first car i have ever had. One day i was on my way home going 50 mph and my car just slowed down on me and the stearing wheel got hard to turn. So i had to push it out of that road and call a towning truck to pull it in. After pulling it in i had it towed to a shop. The guy looked and it and called and told me tha engine was bad. He said it was strang that it happen because there was no reson showing why it should be bad. Because i kelpt the oil chaged got it servies like i should. So we got to looking online and see that there is a recall on tha engine and he said there is tha problem its with tha engine recall and not something i did because i did because tha car is in great condition. And i just want my car fix buy tha company. Because i prices evrything to get it fixed and it was 5600.00 and i dont have that kind of money.
I was driving when i heard a loud noise. I then went to a repair shop, i was told that one of the blades on the fan had broke and put a hole in my radiator. I contacted dodge and the lady i spoke with did know about the problem but she stated that my car was made in a different factory so i was not part of the recall. Which i think is unfair since i had the same problem like everyone else
About 40k miles into owning the car i was driving on the highway and my car stalled out.once i pulled over i was able to restart the car but with a check engine light now appearing.the car made it the rest of my destination but has not been the same since. That was 5 years ago.the check engine light comes on and off randomly. There appears to be little power left when trying to accelerate.when stepping on the gas the car responds but will idle down and feel close to stalling out even when trying to accelerate.i took to dodge and they replaced a part that cost me $800 to fix (intake manifold tuning valve). Of course this did not fix the issue.the check engine light was of for about a month before it came on again.they did not want to help me out.i was told it could be another $1200 in repairs.i did not want to spend this much money as i do not have confidence that they have a resolution.the car has never performed any better.i have put less than 3k miles/year on the car for the previous two years.i have no confidence that my car would have lasted this long if my commute was longer or stop and go traffic was involved.i have to take my wife's much older car when i need to make longer commutes.i am very unsatisfied.
I was driving my car when all of a sudden flames were coming from under the hood on the driver side. I pulled over, got out and called 911. By the time the fire department put out the fire, my car was totaled. There must have been a defect somewhere under the hood. It may have been the engine which i had to replace at 66,841 miles for over $8,000. I got no warnings on the dash, just fire from under the hood.
Reverse went out in transmission. There was no warning of any sort. Had no idea that i even had any problems. Took vehicle to the dealership to be repaired under warranty. Was without my vehicle for almost a month while still having to make payments and find another way of getting around.vehicle was just over a year old. Got the vehicle back and the reverse went out in the transmission again as well as the rear main seal leaking. Took vehicle back to dealership for more repairs and was without my vehicle again for almost a month. Now, the motor is knocking and skipping and vehicle has less than 95,000 miles. These cars are lemons and i don't know how chrysler corporation is getting away with this and i sure do not recommend anyone buying a dodge. Wish i had never bought this vehicle and somebody needs to step up to the plate and make it right. Sad part is i am stuck with a vehicle that is going to need major engine repairs or engine replace and i still owe on the vehicle and of course there is no warranty left.
The bridge on the main highway had standing water. The road was not blocked off and couldn't see it until you got up to it. Traffic was in front and behind me so i could not turn around. I went under the bridge by piggy wiggly in pototoc, me and soon as i did my car started sputtering and i pulled over and car cut off. I had just bought the car that monday and this happened thursday. Dealership tower car to shop and said the water made motor lock up. Had car taken to another mechanic which said same thing. Now i'm stuck paying for a car i can not drive cause of the road condition. I was told this is a state highway . Mayor told me call insurance person tim gunther and tim told me it's state hwy so i have to call department of transportation. This was going to be a car for my daughter and now i am stuck paying for it and needing a motor due to the road holding water and not being blocked off. I was headed to work and had to call my boss to pick me up.

Problem #1: one of the cooling fan blades sheered off and & flew into the radiator. I was at a complete stop and broke off when i started to accelerate. I replaced the broken blade (didn't have enough money to replace both) and radiator. About a year or less later the other fan blade sheered off (the one i didn't replace) and went into the radiator. This time also during accelerating after a complete stop. Deja vu. This time i had to replace the entire fan assembly (because the blades were on backorder) and radiator. When i went to the dodge dealership they said there was a recall on the same blades but only the 2006 model. Problem #2: it is now loosing propulsion. The power stays on it just stops moving forward. I can put it in park & then back in gear and it moves, but barely. It isn't consistent but it is terrifying. I have googled possible issues and it seems like a lot of people are having the same problem and they have linked it to a bad pcm. I took it to a mechanic but of course it didn't do it while he had it. I have been told, by dodge, that they are the only ones that can do a full diagnostic, that other devicesonly cover about 30% of the program. That alone seems unfair if not illegal. I cannot afford $110 just to find out what's wrong. My trunk light doesn't work either & even dodge can't find out why. It's not the bulb, it's not the fuse, and the electrical connection is good. According to them. I have more images and receipts but can't figure out how to attach them.

While on the freeway i turned on my air conditioner and all of a sudden the fan blade fell apart disintegrated and it broke my radiator i understand that there is a recall but certain bins don't can't be involved in the recall i don't understand because my car has the same problem as the recall but i can't get any information about if it's going to get fixed or not
After filling up at a gas station, the car started stuttering and later on stalled at a red light in the city. Has become this way only after filling up the fuel tank completely, it will stutter and sometimes stall at complete stops. I have stopped from filling up completely to avoid this problem for approximately two years now. It is a 2007 dodge charger rt rwd.
On june 2, 2014 i was stopped at a stop light waiting to turn when i heard a loud bang followed by what felt like something falling out of my motor. Once i turned i turned off onto the service road to check what happened. My car immediately began to over heat and my gage went from in between the cool range to hot range. I did not want to drive my car any further in order to prevent any unnecessary damages. I called my husband who then came to get me and check the problem. He noticed that the fans on the cooling system were not working. One completely locked which caused some of the fans to break and the other just stopped working. I looked on line to see if there were any similar occurrences of this happening. I came uponchrysler customer service notification l08, which implies that this problem has happened on over 55,000 vehicles. I contacted my local dealership and was had them look into it. According to the notification it states that only the severe cooling systems on 2006-2008 dodge chargers are having this occur. My vehicle is a 2007 dodge charger 3.5 l v6 which is not covered under the customer service notification since it only carries the heavy duty cooling system. So my dealership will not cover the cost to fix the same problem occurring on like make and model vehicles.however, during operation my cooling locked and stopped working.i am unsure how many more vehicles have had this occur to them but upon researching it has and continues to occur.
The contact owns a 2007 dodge charger. While driving at approximately 60 mph, the engine stalled and the oil and the engine warning lights illuminated.

While traveling at 40+ mph i attempted to accelerate by pressing the accelerator pedal all the way, the dodge charger rt(5.7l v8) did not react and kept accelerating at the normal rate before i pressed the accelerator. Since it was not reacting to my input, i took my foot completely off the accelerator but the vehicle kept accelerating at a constant rate. Then after two seconds, the vehicle accelerated at full throttle, in automatic, downshifted, and continued to speed up at full throttle. Brakes were pressed but seemed to have zero effect on the vehicle's uncontrolled acceleration. Finally i decided to shift into neutral and the engine resumed normal operation. I then shifted into drive again from neutral, and operation of the vehicle resumed to normal. First time this has happened and is extremely unsafe, luckily, no car was in front of me and i had time to control the car before i came to the upcoming red light/intersection.
On several occasions, my car would completely turn off when turning right.i have had this problem since i purchased the car.each time, i have taken it back to the dealership and they have found nothing.on 10/3/2014 approximately 6:10 p.m., i turned right and the car completely shut off.the vehicle is currently at the dodge dealership in fayetteville, nc undergoing some tests.i feel the car is unsafe and am asking them to check the ignition for defects.i have read that there were other dodge vehicles that lost power and have researched them to take to the dealership to inspect.if i were to trade this vehicle in for another car, i am afraid the next purchaser's life could be in danger.once it stops, it takes strong arms to control it while pulling over.i need assistance in getting to the problem.
My 2007 dodge charger was rendered inoperable when the engine cooling fan blades separated unexpectedly, causing severe damage to the radiator.this incident ultimately resulted in engine failure. When this incident was reported to the chrysler group, the case manager was informed of a recall that addressed this same issue. Please refer to customer satisfaction notification l08 engine cooling fans.this notification cautions owners that the electrically powered radiator cooling fans on about 52,000 of the referenced vehicles (include 2007 dodge charger) may separate during fan operation and cause damage to the radiator.this exact failure occurred to my vehicle costing me in excess of $2000 but the chrysler group refused to offer assistance due to the fact that my vin fell outside of the range to the vins included in the recall and that my vehicle was out of warranty.i request that a the existing recall be expanded to all of the vehicles types listed within the 2006-2008 time frame instead of limiting to the 52,000 estimated in the notification.

Driving on city street speed limit 40mph car began overheating. In attempt to fix the overheating issue a new water pump and 2 new radiators have been installed. The initial radiator literally had the entire bottom fall out. The cooling fans will not come on and are damaged. It is my belief that the damage to the cooling fans is what caused damage to the radiator.i have been dealing with this issue for 3 years now driving another car if traveling more than 1 mile from my home. Obviously this is a problem caused by the manufacturerl

I have a 2007 dodge charger sxt with 60k miles. On 4/8/2016 while backing out of my driveway at 7:45 a.m. Heading to work i here a plastic breaking noise and a large thump sound coming from the front of the car. I quickly got out to see what i had hit rolling out the drive when i noticed water, heard hissing and noticed big broken plastic pieces all on the ground. I turned the car off called my husband to turn around, look at the car and them drop me off at work on his way to work. He popped the hood to my charger and he showed me 2 broken fan blades and housing surrounding my radiator and where the fan blades had punctured numerous holes into the radiator where the fluid was coming out from. Had to get to work so away we went. We called a shop to pickup my car and have the repairs made. I remembered this sight and my husband checked out the recalls and complaints regarding my car which brings me to write this complaint in hopes that reimbursement for my recent repairwill be handled as it seems others have had and been given the opportunity to do so.

I was on i-495 leaving long island ny ,driving around 50-55 mph when my 07 dodge charger 2.7 liter turned off on the extremely busy freeway. Im usually in the fastlane , but this particular day i was traveling in the far right lane. So no damage was done. There are no warning indicators or warnings of this problem that occurs , before or after.there has also been numerous times that the vehicle has turned off while attempting to leave on a green light.that has almost caused me many rear end accidents. I have taken my car to many mechanics including the dodge dealership and no one could seem to find the problem.there are many others on the dodge charger forum with the same problem , and feel the same dangers that could be caused if this problem is not fixed or at least identified.if all dodge chargers have this problem , it could cause many defect related accidents.there is no check engine warning and the car runs fine until it unexpectedly shuts off. I have spent over $800 for test and other wishful repairs with still no answer to fix the problem.check the dodge charger forum. I didn't bother to sign up because there was no solution.
Engine suddenly shut off while driving. It started back up and 2 miles shut off for the 2nd time. No warning, no rough running. Drove approx. 35 miles with no further problems. The computer showed code p0443 2 times and c121c once.

This is not a safe vehicle.
My vehicle begins to stall out at low speeds or while idling. While slowing down for a light or just waiting for the traffic light to change.

I was then given a final diagnosis that the fuel tank was the issue and it was going to cost 4500.00 to replace.today is april 1 and i just picked up my vehicle after it was sitting in the dealership for almost 1 month and still the problem has not been resolved. Please help me. My vehicle is sitting in my driveway with a car cover because i am afraid to drive it in this condition.

There's a problem with the head gaskets on the 2.7 v6 engines. My charger is boiling coolant in the reservoir coolant tank and when you run the rpm's up to 3x, coolant spray out the coolant cap. I replaced the thermostat, the coolant top itself, i did a radiator flush and also changed spark plugs and at this point i don't know what else to do. My car has 15400 miles on it and it happens day after day but now it seems as if the issue has gotten worse. I was told that all or most the 2.7 engines has had this issue and had to replace the whole engine. After explaining to dodge chrysler jeep what my vehicle was doing i paid $125 for a diagnostic test and they said that it failed the block test and it's recommended to tear down the top cylinder heads to check for warped gaskets. Please get back to me with any resolutions.
Within a year or so of first purchasing the car (2007)i noticed it would feel like someone hit me from behind as i got off the interstate and was waiting for a light. I have since learned this was the engine "bumping" to keep it from stalling. I would either give it gas or put it in neutral and it would be ok. Within the last year the car has actually stalled on me at the lights. I noticed this mostly after driving on the interstate at 70-75 mph for my 20 min drive to work and as i slowing down to get off the exit it seems to "bump" and now "stall". I have had the car stall three times in a row on a single instance recently with the third time it finally caught and did not stall, but i feared it would not start at all. I have had an instance recently of the car stalling while at low speeds (10-20 mph) as i'm slowing down. All other times were at an actual stop. Recently the car stalled and it took 2 times to get it to restart and when it restarted it would not immediately go into gear, even though the car was in"drive". My husband was driving for this time and although i am primary driver, he has experienced the "bumps" over the years. In this last instance the car had been on a back road and while still only driving about 20-30 mins the speed was never higher than 45-50 mph.

My radiator fan motor assembly locked up and a blade came off.the blade went into the radiator.it damanged the radiator and left me stranded.had no prier noises or prolems.took it to the shop. Cost me $677.27 to replace the radiator, the hoese, antifreeze, hose clamps and radiator fan motor assemly.the guy that fixed mine said he see this every week in chargers.infact our whole police department switched from charges for this reason.i called the dealership and the dodge # and they said there is nothing to do to help out because of age and mileage of care.wasn't happy because online there are plenty of discussions about the same issue.my dealership doesn't fix them unless they are underwarranty.they send them out to the same guy i went to if they are out of warranty.i guess not to show on their books the problem.
Vehicle has stalled out several times since my purchase.vehicle was bought in 2009 with approximately 13500 miles on it.it stalled the first time about a month later.since then it has stalled approximately ten times.each time it occurs when slowing for a stop, or while actually stopped.the engine will shutter like it is being choked.it will then rev slightly and then cut off.this has occurred in different weather conditions and temperatures.contact with local dealer has not produced any answers.they say the problem has to be replicated however it does not occur with any certain frequency.several other related complaints can be found on the internet with no solution.
I drove my 2007 dodge charger to a local store. I went in and came out inside of 10 minutes. I started my it started making the unusual noise. I then drove it to hilltop chrysler jeep dodge ram located at3291 auto plaza drive, richmond, ca 94806 (510) 243-6100where i was charged over $1100 to be told that my engine had dropped a valve seat. I was then told that it would be over $9000 for a new engine as they don't repair old engines.
Was driving down road and car started to slow down and became extremely difficult to operate. Car slowed pretty much to a stop and i had to use all my strength to get it to turn so i could pull over to a safe place. The car completely shut off and locked up on me. I put the car in park and took the key out, put the key back in to restart the car and it started right back up. I have been researching since this has happened and there are tons of complaints about this exact thing. I have two small children and now i am afraid to drive my car and it is my only vehicle. I just purchased this charger about 3 months ago. This is the first time it's happened . This problem needs to be addressed and it needs to be fixed before people start to die from horrific crashes from no fault of their own! i'm so disappointed aboutthis and would have never bought this car if i would have known i was putting mine, my kids or others life at danger! absolutely ridiculous!

Was going to town and as soon as i stopped at the store i seen steam coming from under my hood and popped the hood and had water spraying out of my radiator by the fan got to looking at it good and all the fan blades was broke off and one of then went into the radiator.took it to the dodge dealership in town and they told me the recall l08 was only for the v6 motors and i had to fix it myself.
I was in a drive thru waiting on the cashier, when i heard a loud explosion and pop from under my engine. I could also feel it through my brake pedal. Scared and wondering what the heck just happened? i immediately pulled forward and parked my car and turned the engine off. I got out of my vehicle and noticed fluid leaking. I popped the hood and found some shattered plastic pieces. Upon my 1st inspections my fan was what shattered. I made a few calls and when a mechanic came to inspect 20 minutes later, he said the fan exploded causing pieces to then hit the radiator. Now both parts need to be replaced. Now investigation, i see this is a common problem for chargers and i'm wondering why there isn't a recall. I cant even imagine what could've happened if i was driving. I also had my child in the car. Scary enough while the car wasn't moving. Tis happened out of the blue with no prior warnings.
The car stalled 3 times with in a 5 min period. They were all at stop lights.
Check engine light on failed inspection code p1004 many 3.5l 6cyl engines are having same problem no tsb no recall big repair cost.
When i first bought the car in may 2007, my car's engine shut off without warning on the highway. I immediately put the car in neutral and it started up and didn't have the problem again. I did report it to the dealership during my second oil change. They said that since it has not happened again that it shouldn't be anything to worry about. Now, at about 95,000 miles its been happening morefrequently, about twice a day. No warning lights come on. The engine just shuts off. I took it to the dealership and they ran a diagnostic computer test and nothing came up. We also went for a test drive, but it did not happen when the technician was with me. I feel that i will eventually get into an accident. Our family relies on this car and i am worried that something horrible could happen. I have visited different forums and others have had the same problem. I feel that this is a defect due to the fact that others have had the same problem. I have also seen complaints on this site reporting the same problem. I don't have a choice but to use this car, but also feel that it is extremely dangerous.
2007 dodge charger engine shuts off without warning occasionally which is very dangerous. This has happened 3 times in 3 years and has been back to the dealer but they have not been able to find out what is causing it or how to fix it.
While my car was idling the electric cooling fan came apart and the fan blades impaled into my radiator.luckily it happened right after i cranked the car and before i got on the interstate.i learned that chrysler is aware of this problem and will pay for some cars to be repaired. This is in customer satisfaction notice l-08 from chrysler.i was told my car fit the criteria of this notice, year, make, model, etc.except the notice says "severe duty"fan module and according to the man on the phone my car hasa "heavy duty" module. My car did exactly what the other cars that were covered did.so basically chrysler is saying it is acceptable for my fan to come apart and sling pieces into my radiator and no telling what else because my hemi 5.7 has a heavy duty piece on the fan but it is not acceptable for the severe duty piece on the same car to do it.this could have been a dangerous situation if it had happened at 70 mph and for the notice to have been written in the first place someone was aware of that.this notice or recall may need to be expanded before someone gets hurt.
On 09/23/2013 at about 7am i was driving to work about 20 miles upon arrival the vehicle started smoking from under the hood. I parked and inspected the vehicle and found some water leaking from the radiator, i let the engine cool for about 4 hours and at lunch went out and added water to the vehicle as i added the water it poured directly out. I further inspected the vehicle and found that all seven radiator fan blades had separated from the main housing that was intact and not loose or distorted and impelled themselves through the radiator. I researched this issue and found that dodge had aservice bulletin csn-l08 issued in 2011 for the dodge magnum and other vehicles. When i contacted them they advised i was out of warranty and there was nothing they could do. I do not feel this is a warranty issue if it has happened in 2011 and still happening in 2013 and should be investigated further if someone is working on one of these vehicles and the fan blades come apart. This could cause bodily injury with the force it impelled them through the radiator. There should be a recall of this fan part #24040406 manufacturedate 1/10/06 and a reimbursement program for those individual's who have had to replace these items.
The contact owns a 2007 dodge charger. While the vehicle was stationary, the cooling fan fractured and entered the radiator, which also fractured. The vehicle was taken to be repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 1,500.
I have a 2007 dodge charger that i have purchased "used" just8 months ago. I have not even driven 6000 miles in this car and it has a bad "lifter" ticking in the engine. It will cost in the neighborhood of $1200.00 to repair. On the dodge forums i have seen multiple people complaining of the very same issue. They have all called dodge as i have as well and the answer was the very same. Can't help you sorry for your luck! i can't believe that there has not been a recall on these chargers as it seems to be a problem across the board with this model car. I am furious that they will not help and stand behind their products. I will never buy another dodge vehicle or recommend one ever. I have spent a fair amount of money for what i thought was a "good" brand american vehicle and now here we are with another headache car with engine problems and no help in sight!

My 2007 dodge charger had coolant leaks that were repaired under warranty. I had to get a water pump replaced, under warranty. Now i am being told i have engine sludge from the engine not cooling properly. Why in the world is this not fixed under warranty?

While under ten mph in stop and go traffic, car stalled, had to put vehicle in park and restart, no codes thrown and engine ran fine after.
After dealership changing all 8 coils and cam sensor there is no change in driveability. Car still cuts out spontaneously, bucks, and snorts when doing simple (no drama) passes. I heard of these cars with this problem and i have a suspicion that the dealership will not find anything. I surely do not want my wife and kids to be driving on the freeway and have it just turn off on them!!!
Pebbles or debris has entered the lower cooling valance on my 2007 dodge chargeris to wide, which allows any and all debris to damage the air conditioner condenser. Which dodge does not cover or recognize as a design flaw. The a/c condenser is exposed to any and all objects coming through that particular area. The 3 lbs of freon released to the atmosphere, which when the car is in motion the freon will go through engine compartment and eventually end up in the passenger area. Freon is a oxygen displacement type gas which can cause sickness, vomiting,hypoxio and eventually suffocation. This is a possible safety hazard. Freon 134a also expels a toxic gas if exposed to temps above 452f which catalytic converters reach temps above 500f.
While driving down the street the engine cut off completely. First it revved up and then cut off on while driving( in the drive mode). My son was in the car and oncoming traffic was coming in the direction. The car was then placed in park and started again. It started up and revved again and ran after that. This could have been a tragic situation. I hope you can figure out something to help me make sense of this situation.

High speed radiator fan blades on 2007 3.5l dodge charger break apart and causes damage to the radiator, resulting in failure of the radiator and subsequent replacement of both radiator and the radiator fan.consequential repair exceeds $700.
My 2007 dodge charger was rendered inoperable when the engine cooling fan blades separated unexpectedly, causing severe damage to the radiator.this incident ultimately resulted in engine failure. When this incident was reported to the chrysler group, the case manager was informed of a recall that addressed this same issue. Please refer to customer satisfaction notification l08 engine cooling fans.this notification cautions owners that the electrically powered radiator cooling fans on about 52,000 of the referenced vehicles (include 2007 dodge charger) may separate during fan operation and cause damage to the radiator.this exact failure occurred to my vehicle costing me in excess of $2000 but the chrysler group refused to offer assistance due to the fact that my vin fell outside of the range to the vins included in the recall and that my vehicle was out of warranty.i request that a the existing recall be expanded to all of the vehicles types listed within the 2006-2008 time frame instead of limiting to the 52,000 estimated in the notification.

Engine sputters while idle.i change the oil every 2500-3000 miles, along with engine air filter and spark plug change at 36,000.while idle, once in a while the engine will sputter.took it to the dealership and they could not duplicate (cnd) the problem, therefore they could not fix the problem, however they asked if i needed an oil change.i loved the rt when i first purchased it.now!i would not recommend anyone to purchase it.engine sputters, side window is scratched due to mechanism, rotor are warped, and of course the shifter stuck in park, and the abs light is now.all of which chrysler will not acknowledge for my vin, but have a recall on others.how many people need to file a complaint?let us continue to submit our complaints and hopefully no one will be injured.and maybe chrysler will pay for their problems. Starting to hate my hot red rt!

I had just left my residence to travel to work in my 2007 dodge charger, 2.7l v6, i had made it 6 miles away from my house when my engine blew. The temp gage never showed there was any kind of overheating problem. The check oil light came on for a few seconds and turned off. A few minutes later it came on again and puff of white smoke came out from under the hood and the motor seized. From the research i have done on the internet i have found that the 2.7 liter dodge/chrysler motor has had a lot of problems with oil sludge issues that would cause the engine to seize. So far chrysler has not taken any responsibility for this major problem with the 2.7l engine.the bottom end of the motor has to be rebuilt or replaced to correct this problem. At this point the warranty company is blaming me for the mechanical failure of the oil filter seal on the engine.

I was using the scissor jack on my 2007 dodge charger to place my car on jack stands in order to change the oil. As i was removing the jack stands, the scissor jack failed while the car was raised far enough to remove the jack stand. Had i not use jack stands i certainly would have been crushed. I know that many folks do no employ jack stands while working on their cars and this equipment defect certainly has the potential to kill somebody.
My vehicles engine light was on while i was taking it to get inspected. Aaa ran a test to find out as to why the engine light was on. The diagnostics should a problem with the plenum, air intake valve and the car needed a reflash or update in the cars computer. I took the vehicle down to a dodge dealership and found out that the plenum is a common fail part and is a dealer only part and cost 969.00 to replace. After having the reflash done on my vehicle and finding out about the plenum i returned to aaa to find out if they could fix the problem cheaper. They then checked the recall list to see if their were any recalls. The recalls for my vehicle were for the cars computer system , the interlock mechanism for the clutch, and the radiator fan. After finding out about the reflash being on recall i called the dealership in an attempt to get my money back and was told recalls are vin specific, even though distributed by regular mechanics. After fixing the engine light problem and getting my car inspected, 3 days later the interlock mechanism broke and would not allow me to move the clutch to put car in gear. I took it to the dealership again and paid for a diagnostics and was told the problems i am having are all listed in the recalls but they can not fix due to recalls being vin specific. I paid 478.00 for interlock to be fixed. I have two more items on my vehicle listed for recall and i now keep getting a lightning bolt warning sign on my dash when my vehicle is idle. I have paid for 2 out of 4 recalls that should have been taken care of by the dealership but were nt due to them being vin specific even though everything matches up what's wrong with my vehicle and what is being recalled.

I purchased my 2007 dodge charger se on feb 17 2009. I had multiple problems when i bought the vehicle including the airbag light being on which they fixed by recalibrating the unit. The left washer fluid module had to be replaced and the passenger headlight had condensation that was poorly repaired by placing silcone around my headlight. The shop also said that they had to recalibrate the transmission because it was slipping and was causing my speedometer to drop to 0 but the rpm would never move and the car would not lose power. On march 7 i drove 90 miles away from home when i exited my vehicle and got about 10 feet away the car exploded in flames. The car drove beautifully the entire trip never hesitated and never overheated, never indicated any kind of problem!!!! the entire front of my car to the dash was completely melted within 5 minutes of the car exploding. Luckily i did not have my children with me and i was not in home as i park my new vehicle in the garage, i would have lost everything i own. The fire department had to bust out the rear window to get my purse because the only key hole is in the front door and the fob would not work to unlock the car. This is a huge safety hazard!!! if my 2 small children had been in the car i would have not been able to get them out in time because of how fast the car exploded!!! the fire department determined that it was the electrical system under the hood. The dealership i bought the vehicle from 2 weeks ago told me to go '!@#$%myself and deal with my insurance company that it has nothing to do with them. Please if you have this car or are considering buying this car please please don't do it!!!!
Flickering headlights; suddenly go off for a period of a few seconds.randomly flash on and off when vehicle is moving.faulty tipm.
My 2007 charger is having the same problem that so many others have had... While driving, all the warning lights come on at once, fan (heat, a/c) goes dead, all gauges drop to zero and automatic headlights turn off... After a couple seconds, everything goes back to normal except for the headlights, those have to be manually turned on... This was happening once in a while before, but now is happening multiple times a day. Dealership has no answers and i called the 1 800 number for dodge with no luck. Has anyone had this diagnosed properly and fixed?
When use turn signals, making right turns, the left turn signal sometimes activate, and seems to get hung up electronically, when they try to cancel out.also, had issue with head lights suddenly cutting off at night, while driving.the lights where in automatic mode, very dangerous.
Theturn signal light dimmer broke on the inside of the steering wheel , it won't return to the middle after you turn left or right.almost gotten in a few accident because my signal light was still on.
This airbag light came on and has control over the air conditioning unit and also controls the defrost as well. This is unsafe condition because i live in a state where it rains really hard and i almost hit several cars from behind because i didn't have my defrost in the front or rear.

Please if you have this car or are considering buying this car please please don't do it!!!!
My 2006 dodge charger r/t with the 5.7l hemi stalls while driving after refueling at a gas station. It's a safety hazard to myself and others due to it stalling while driving at any speed.
It is a know problem with chrysler's and dodge's. Plastic shift lever release breaks which will not allow the car to come out of park. Some cars were recalled others with the exact same part were not. Mine was one of the cars not recalled. Search the web for "dodge car stuck in park". There are 1000's of comments and posts about this defective part.
2007 police package dodge charger was involved in a vehicle pursuit of a suspected intoxicated driver.as charger proceeded through an intersection, it was involved in a multi-vehicle collision resulting in a vehicle fire.
The contact owns a 2007 dodge charger. While driving approximately 45 mph on normal road conditions the "check engine" warning light indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The engine stalled and failed to restart. The failures occurred intermittently. In addition, whenever dispensing fuel to the full capacity level an excessive amount of fuel spilled from the tank. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing who stated that the failure was contributed to the fuel pump. The vehicle was repaired for the malfunctions. The failure mileage was 70,000. Updated 03/09/10.*ljthe fuel pump wiring melted. Updated 06/01/10.
In july 2007 i purchased a 07 dodge charger.it has been in the shop 20+ times in the last 6 months.the spedometer fluctuates from 60 to 40 mph when in cruise control and feels like it is going to stall when this happens.the vehicle has odd little shakes and shimmys.the check engine light wont stay off for more then 5 days.the remote entry wont work all the time even if i'm standing right next to the vehicle.there has been a new fuel extractor put into this vehicle.
The contact owns a 2007 dodge charger.the contact stated while driving approximately 45 mph, the engine stalled without warning.the vehicle restarted but the failure recurred multiple times.the vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnosis. The technician stated that the spark plugs needed to be changed.the vehicle was repaired. However, the failure recurred.the vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the mechanic then stated that the fuel tank was leaking.the vehicle had not been repaired and the manufacturer was not notified of the failure.the approximate failure mileage was 83,000.
The car stopped in middle of freeway it moves in motion without feet on gas
2007 dodge charger 5.7 170,000+ miles stalling immediately or shortly after fueling without warning while in drive. Identical to same issues in the 2006 models. Car is in motion each time it has stalled on city streets in heavy traffic. Car threw evap canister codes. Components were repaired but car continued to stall after ever full tank of gas.car threw evap leak code. No leaks found. Fuel pump was checked and tank checked for over flow. No leaks. No gas smell. Fuel pump and evap system ruled out as cause. The issue seems to be with the tank itself.
I purchased this car 2 years ago with the title, just having it at my parents house because i have another car. I drove it back to memphis on the highway and it jerked, cut the car off turn it back on it drives no more than 30 mph. Got a reading at 2 different auto zones,and got a tune up, oil change, and wire coils that go with the car. Still the same problem. So i drive the car back to my parents house a hour away from memphis and it's going slow, so of course law enforcement had some questions that almost allowed me to get the car towed at the times with the coronavirus going on as well.. So, after i get my slow car out the impound, i looked on cars.com and i see a previous recall on my car that i didn't see at the time or purchase or had any idea of, that might be a little to late to fix even though these the exact same problems i'm having at this present moment. My car jerks back when trying to put it in the reverse or drive. So, i go back to autozone, in the little town because now i'm afraid to move my car because of the danger it's in. Autozobe don't want to do the reading so i do it myself because they're not allowed to get into people cars at this time. So, keep in mind i've got the work done to the car and i'm coming back to confirm that i did do those things. The man who worked at autozone told me it was something with my wiring, and to take it back to the dealership because they cannot find the part needed in the store i seen it with my own eyes the screen turn blank. Took it to dodge, they just replace the air bags, and of course offer to make me spend money. I told them about the previous recall on my car and no one helped even though there is a maximum 10 years. But if these cars are still selling and being used there shouldn't be any time frame for the problem to be fixed because the car is now unsafe and unusable, and the owner out of money.
As i'm driving down the freeway in the fast lane the vehicle stalls.i'm able to maneuver across all three lanes of traffic to get on the shoulder and call aaa roadside. When the tow truck gets to my location he puts 2 gallons of gas in my tank and the vehicle starts right up. Meanwhile the gas gauge is showing a quarter tank. After looking up if this has happened to anyone else i came across numerous online posts stating that the same thing has happened to them as well. This is a huge safety concern as it can result in a very bad accident from losing power steering and power brakes as a result of the engine stalling out from fuel starvation and the gas gauge showing a quarter tank.
My vehicle begins to stall out at low speeds or while idling. While slowing down for a light or just waiting for the traffic light to change. I brought the vehicle to the chrysler dealership at gwinnette chrysler stone mountain georgia and the problem was diagnosed to be the fuel tank needing replacementafter paying 3000.00 dollars for repairs that did not resolve the issue. I was then given a final diagnosis that the fuel tank was the issue and it was going to cost 4500.00 to replace.today is april 1 and i just picked up my vehicle after it was sitting in the dealership for almost 1 month and still the problem has not been resolved. Please help me. My vehicle is sitting in my driveway with a car cover because i am afraid to drive it in this condition.

After filling up at a gas station, the car started stuttering and later on stalled at a red light in the city. Has become this way only after filling up the fuel tank completely, it will stutter and sometimes stall at complete stops. I have stopped from filling up completely to avoid this problem for approximately two years now. It is a 2007 dodge charger rt rwd.
Problem #1: one of the cooling fan blades sheered off and & flew into the radiator. I was at a complete stop and broke off when i started to accelerate. I replaced the broken blade (didn't have enough money to replace both) and radiator. About a year or less later the other fan blade sheered off (the one i didn't replace) and went into the radiator. This time also during accelerating after a complete stop. Deja vu. This time i had to replace the entire fan assembly (because the blades were on backorder) and radiator. When i went to the dodge dealership they said there was a recall on the same blades but only the 2006 model. Problem #2: it is now loosing propulsion. The power stays on it just stops moving forward. I can put it in park & then back in gear and it moves, but barely. It isn't consistent but it is terrifying. I have googled possible issues and it seems like a lot of people are having the same problem and they have linked it to a bad pcm. I took it to a mechanic but of course it didn't do it while he had it. I have been told, by dodge, that they are the only ones that can do a full diagnostic, that other devicesonly cover about 30% of the program. That alone seems unfair if not illegal. I cannot afford $110 just to find out what's wrong. My trunk light doesn't work either & even dodge can't find out why. It's not the bulb, it's not the fuse, and the electrical connection is good. According to them. I have more images and receipts but can't figure out how to attach them.
Engine turns off when idling such as when stopped at a "stop sign" or "traffic light".auto dealership replaced both fuel pumps and have cleaned throttle housing but problem continues.
When driving around town, come to stop and car begins to stall out.
Automatic door locks cycle uncontrolled to the lock position, several times a minute. Auto feature works, then continues. Lock mode only.
My 2007 dodge charger had a part failure in the shifter mechanism that prevented it from being moved from park.this occurred at 8 pm at night on top of a parking garage when i had my family with me.it took over an hour to locate a towing company that could get to me because of the parking garage.the dealership informed me the problem was a cheap plastic part that had been recalled on the avenger but not the charger and they had been replacing about a dozen per week.dodge should recall this part and repay the owners that have already had to make the repair.
Gear shift sticks in park due to cheap plastic part designed to break but with no remedy other than full replacement of shifter.it appears to occur in large numbers if not every dodge charger years 2006-2009.
Vehicle shift interlock latch is broken. The latch allows the vehicle to shift from gear to gear or will prevent the shifting. After researching the issue, it was learned the piece was a recall piece but according to dodge only on certain vehicles and our vehicle does not meet the standards required for recall.although dodge just simply ships the same item to various location across the world, our vehicle was built in the area that does not afford recall status; eventhough it was built with the exact same part.i was informed to put in a complaint by the dodge phone representative.i was also told our vehicle has no recall although i found 3 on this site alone.
2007 dodge charger, only 50,000 miles. Automatic transmission. Car stuck in park. Numerous on line complaints regarding dodge vehicles of various models.
I drove car the night before and everything worked properly. The next day i started the car and tried to go into reverse. The gear wouldn't move. It was stuck in park. I tried the pink button by the gear box and that wouldn't even get the gear out of place. I had to get the car towed to a chrysler/dodge service. I was informed i needed a shifter assembly which was not covered in my extended warranty and my manufacturer warranty had expired. It cost $350 to fix. I talk with other dodge charger owners who have said this has happened to them and had to pay out of pocket to get this fixed. This is obviously a manufacturing problem if different people from different states and dealerships have complained about this problem. This should be replaced by the service regardless if have a warranty if this is a defect created originally by the manufacturer.
My car is stuck in park! i have no idea what happened. I drove it today with no problems then all of a sudden i try to leave and it wont allow me to put it in reverse. I have seen a numerous amount of complaints online with people having the same problem so this is something that is common with these cars."my car hasn't been repaired yet!" i don't think i should have to pay for something that i didn't cause.
Pink plastic tab in the shifter assembly on 2007 dodge charger rt (17,000 miles) broke, resulting in vehicle being unable to shift from park. There are thousands of complaints online about this problem. The tow truck driver even commented on the notorious "charger stuck in park" problem when he called in our pickup. Chyrsler - dodge has refused a recall on this issue, yet charges 400 dollars to fix it. They put the same type of part back in and many people have had it break over and over, just to pay again to have it fixed.
Parked car in driveway, set hand brake and it failed.was told by dealership and dodge customer service that it is a "periodic adjustment" that must be made to the hand brake. We were not informed of the need for a "periodic adjustment" at time of purchase, and it is not post anywhere in the .adjustment cost out of our pocket. Car one year old.

I have not had my car for a year.my gears are locked on my car. Which is a defeat and a safety issue. I have spoken with 3 people that have an dodge charger as well and all 3 people have had the same problem.this is obvious a defeat which should be a recall. I currently still make payments on my vehicle its not fair to me for this to happen and its not my fault.i have googled this issue/ i have seen the complaints on your website about the same issue i am having.. So many people are complaining about the same problem.this is in deed a defeat in the car.just for this reason alone i am considering letting chysler come pick the car up and keep it.i pay to much money out monthly to going through defeats on a car when i call about it then am told its no recall on it.its not fair.i am a paying customer and have not ever been late paying monthly payments. Please consider this problem as a recall.

They said they couldn't find a reason for the lights being on.sure enough they ran me up a 900 dollar bill consisting of the following repairs:filter tr 21170001/sealer no 01081003/fluid atf 01081018/antifreeze 01081004/connector 09004009. I was told by the service manager these were the repairs needed: water outlet housing/transmission hydraulic service w/ programming/air filter/fuel system cleaningwe picked the vehicle up july 10th 2014 from dealership, drove it directly home.my girlfriend drove the vehicle 30 miles to work july 12th 2014,after an 8 hour shift she started the dodge charger letting it run idle for 5 minutes before exiting the parking lot.the vehicle was brought to a stopbefore entering the interstate. When she tried to accelerate the vehicle did not move or make a revving sound, the steering wheel was locked tight but hot air was continuing to blow from vents.no indicator lights were present before during or after the event. The vehicle hadn't physically acted up since the first 3 times 7 months ago, so we immediately called the dealer and she drove it directly there.

Our car got stuck in park, couldn't shift gear. Apparently gears got stuck. Had to get is towed, sent to dealer. Although dealeship said it is common thing that happens to chargers, wasn't covered through warrantly. Had to pay for parts and labor.
The first incident happened after i was driving on the freeway for about 30 miles i parked the car with the car on so i can have the air on. I had to move my car and the car wouldn't move. The shifter would move but it didn't seem to change into gear. I had it towed to a transmission shop thinking it was a transmission problem. The shop looked it over and found nothing wrong with the transmission they said it was the brakes that were locked up so they unplugged the abs and that seemed to fix the problem.the second incident happened when i was driving home from work and came to a stop at an intersection when i pulled away from the light the car hadn't switched gears and wouldn't accelerate. When i parked the car there was a heavy smell of the brakes burning.

My car is stuck in park. Pressing the brake doesn't help and the shiftlock release doesn't help. No events lead up to the issue, i got in my car and couldn't put it in gear. Luckily i was at my house, but this could have happened anywhere.
Started my 2007 dodge charger, went to put car into reverse and was unable to do so. Car remains in park and unable to move it. Apparently there is a recall on 2006-2007 dodge charger, but only selected vin's on the cares built between june-september 2007, mine was built may 2007 so even though i'm having the same issue as the cars built 1 month later my car is not covered under the recall. I am upset, and after research apparently i am not the only one that this has happened to. All 2006-2007 dodge chargers should be covered!!!! i am upset!!! i want the recall to he re-opened to cover allthe cars regardless of when they were built during 2006-2007.

Cant not get car to shift out of park
I own a 2007 dodge charger rt with a hemi.the gear shifter is stuck in park.i contacted the manufacturer and was told there is a recall for this problem on police cars but that my vin number was not part of that recall. The manufacturer offered no assistance. The mileage is 88,125. It's funnyi have the same problem that was found through a defect investigation conducted on more than 20,000 police cars. The problem was corrected in those vehicles and it should be fixed. The vehicles are built the same and i understand police cars need to be programmed differently with reinforced suspension and other features to do their jobs but its the same cable on my car that dislodges that'sfound on an officers car.i fixed my car.the nhtsa campaign id number 08v58300 (power train:automatic transmission:lever and linkage:column shift.)
2007 dodge charger with automatic floor shifter would not move out of park once started.had no prior problems.car started fine and showed no warning lights or anything.
I could not shift the vehicle out of park. I had to push some pink release button to get the gear shift to move.now the piece that regulates the communication between the brake and shifter was found to be broken. It appears other dodge charger owners have had a similiar problem.

Every since had car ticks.was driving after fill up and car just turned off having me almost hit 8 cars on the highway with my 5 year old son in car. Now will not start. Days later it starts and tick then turns off. Found out itā€™s common problem everybody has in these 5.7 hemi engines lifters/ cam.
Vehicle would not shift out of park. Car was taken to dodge dealer where other recalls that were associated with vin were addressed (i.e. Driver and passenger airbag) the dealer was not able to address the interlock lever as it was not in their system and they directed me to contact chrysler to address the discrepancy. Chrysler had issued "customer satisfaction notification k39" in february of 2011 that addressed this transmission shifter interlock lever. The notification indicates there are about 28,800 vehicles that may be affected and provides instructions on getting it repaired if your vehicle build date falls between june 25,2007 through september 21,2007 (my vehicle was built 3 months prior to this window) and because of this does not populate into the dealerconnect global recall system. It is my logic that the dates established in the notification do not fully encompass the issue being addressed, and because of these hard dates that dictate whether your vehicle is affected (regardless of whether or not you are stuck in park) , i have had no progress in dealing with chrysler group 'recall' assistance center because to them, on paper, my car is "not affected".for amplifying data, reference "customer satisfaction notification k39"
Transmission shifter interlock lever problem: i read there was a "silent" recall for this problem only for cars built between june and september of 2007.my car was built shortly before this period.my question is: why isn't there a recall for all vehicles having this problem?a dealership quoted me over $400 to replace a single pink plastic part with a small, frail hook (which is what broke off) that attaches to a small spring.i believe this is a defective part and a design flaw that warrants a comprehensive recall.i cannot explain to you how much this has upset me and would really like the nhtsa to take the appropriate action and issue a recall for all cars affected.thank you.
Started my 2007 dodge charger, went to put car into reverse and was unable to. Car remains in park and unable to move it. Apparently there is a recall on 2006-2007 dodge charger, but only selected vin's, mine was built august 24, 2006 so even though i'm having the same issue as the cars built later my car is not covered under the recall.

All 2006-2007 dodge chargers should be covered!!!! i am upset!!! i want the recall to be re-opened to cover all the cars regardless of when they were built during 2006-2007. It's apparently the "brake shift interlock".

The transmission shifter interlock lever broke resulting in the inability to move the gear shift lever out of the "park" position.i see that other cars that are very similar to mine, if not the same car as mine, that have had this problem have had factory recalls on this...... 2005-2007 dodge charger, magnum and chrysler 300.....but unfortunately mine doesn't and i don't know why.

Vehicle would not shift out of park. The key interlock and brake engagement system had to be disabled in order to drive the car. This is a well known problem that chrysler is well aware of. Consumers are disabling the safety features so that they do not have to spend $150 to $600 in repairs.
I've had many issues wrong with my car. The first complaint i would like to express is how the car shuts off on me without warning. While driving on the freeway and on busy streets, my car will shut off, but it will start right back up. This is a dangerous hazard and safety concern. I've taken my car to the gresham dodge (on ne burnside) dealership to address this issue (503-666-2277). I was told "if it happens again, bring it back" there was no concern with dodge that they were sending a dangerous vehicle back out on the road, that could potentially cause an accident. This was an issue that needed to be addressed now, not later. Dodge never solved that issue. Furthermore, my car was stuck in the park position on the eve of 4-18-16. I tried to get it into gear, without any success. I had to call for a tow truck. While waiting for a tow, i decided to google dodge chargers stuck in park. On youtube, there were so many others with the same issue. They had video of how to get the car out of park. You had to pry the covering off of the shifting unit. Stick a pen inside to move a wire around, in order to get the car into gear. It worries me that dodge is aware of transmission issues and other issues with their vehicles, yet nothing is being done to fix it. I could of seriously been hurt or seriously hurt someone else while being on the freeway and my car just shutting off. They should be concerned enough to want to look into this issue and fix it. As i stated before, there are numerous videos on youtube with other people experiencing the very same issues. I did file a complaint on the bbb website, along with everyone else. My main objective for this site is to bring out how dangerous it is to operate my car under these conditions, that dodge did not seem to care about. Sounds as if there are transmission and or engine issues with the car that needs immediate attention.

My car failed to go into gear, which this matter in on recall but i was told by dodge that my vin was not in system under the recall, putting in the vin could of been a error to. Human error do happen but the manufacture should stand behind their cars, i had to pay for the repairs in full, i then have to send in my original receipt before chrysler will reimburse me $150 towards the repairs. I was without my car for 8 days.

I've recently had a problem with my shifter not wanting to move out of park. I contacted the dealership and was told that there was no recall listed for my vin number. I did research online and found that this is a common problem with the 2007 chargers like mine, and many people have been told that their vin doesn't fall under the limited recall. I was told by dodge's customer service that it was a vin-specific recall, and there was nothing they could do for me. I filed a formal complaint with dodge's customer service today.. I'm stuck with a vehicle that now requires me to press a hot pink lever in the console when the gear shift sticks, and no one at dodge seems to be bothered that this is happening to thousands of customers who didn't fall under the limited recall. There has been at least 261 complaints on the 2007 charger filed with national highway traffic safety administration.out of those 261 complaints, 143 were about power train issues. And of those 143 power train complaints, 121 were about the transmission gear shifter interlock lever. This is only on the nhtsa website.there are many, many more on various sites on the web. Thank you.

When trying to leave the parking lot of a grocery store, my vehicle would not shift out of park. Never having a shifting issue before, i was in a panic as to what to do, since i had my children with me and felt stranded. After paying to have my vehicle towed to a service center, i found out about the k39 recall from chrysler, which was exactly what was wrong with my vehicle. However, since my vehicle was manufactured 6 weeks before the start date for the 2007 models, i'm not included in this recall. It clearly doesn't matter that hundreds of customers are having the same issue as me, but are still having to pay $400+ to fix something that should be covered. After spending 30 minutes listening to a rep at the chrysler recall center tell me how often he's heard of this complaint, just to tell me that i'm s.o.l. Is beyond frustrating! this experience has turned me off from buying another chrysler product ever again!
My 2007 dodge charger had a part failure in the shifter mechanism that prevented it from being moved from park.this occurred at 8 pm at night on top of a parking garage when i had my family with me.it took over an hour to locate a towing company that could get to me because of the parking garage.the dealership informed me the problem was a cheap plastic part that had been recalled on the avenger but not the charger and they had been replacing about a dozen per week.dodge should recall this part and repay the owners that have already had to make the repair.

I was at an open mall and i parked my charger, i noticed i was to close to the car next to me so i decided to move it to another parking spot. When i turned on my car, i was unable to move the shifter, it became stuck. I was unable to move my vehicle. I tried everything thinking, moving the steer wheel, tapped on the brakes etc and the car would not shift. I was in a very bad area of town and was alone.i had to call a tow truck and that was going to take a couple. So i was stuck alone waiting. After reading in many websites. It looks like i have not been the only one with the problem. Seems like thousands of other chryslers owners had issues.when the tow truck finally arrived, he had already helped 4 other people owning a dodge charger with the same problem. And once i was at dodge picking up my vehicle. They too told me that many people had gone in to get the same problem fixed in just a few weeks. I believe with so many people having the same problem, there should be some sort of recall. Luckily no one has gotten hurt that i know of because of this. As a single mom, i really cant afford an expense that should be covered by chrysler.i have always serviced my vehicle and is in pristine condition.. And honestly i love it.. But i don't love paying for something that should be breaking to begin with.thank you..
The shifter gear is stuck in parking and will not shift off the parking gear.
Interlock brake lever broke. This is the piece that locks your car in park and you have to press brake pedal to release lock before shifting. Car wont come out of park position. I have seen several complaints of this online for dodge and they are only willing to fix certain vin numbers. I would like mine to be considered being as it only had 30k miles when this happened.

On the morning of october 16, 2009 my 2007 dodge charger did not notify me of any problems and the check engine light did not go on. I started my engine and proceed to change gears and it was lock. I did know what was wrong so after out-of-pocket expenses towing to the dealer-ship the mechanic said that it is broken gear shift mechanism then mechanic said, "it was not my fault. It is a internal problem and there is no reason why it broke." to make matters more difficult for me the warranty that came with the car will not even cover this part. This is a defect in the car. What if was driving and could not shift back to park or reverse would i have had to been a accident and risk my life? to correct the failure it will cost me to pay close to $400.00 to replace/repair. Let me remind you guys that i did nothing wrong with the car it is something that broke by itself. I take care of my car i service when needed and i only use to commute to for errands, work and home. This is a valid part and a warranty will not cover that?please review my complaint and consider the circumstances that the gear shift mechanism is a defected part on 2007 dodge charger.

Vehicle shift interlock latch is broken. The latch allows the vehicle to shift from gear to gear or will prevent the shifting. After researching the issue, it was learned the piece was a recall piece (k39) but according to dodge only on certain vehicles and our vehicle does not meet the standards required for recall. Although dodge just simply ships the same item to various location across the world, our vehicle was built in the area that does not afford recall status; eventhough it was built with the exact same faulty part.

My vehicle is stuck in park, turns out that the shift interlock or the "pink thingy" as most people know it as is a defective part on dodge vehicles but there are no known recalls for this problem. The vehicle has 70,000 miles. After i took the cover of the shifter off, i notice that the only way to get it to drive is to push on the pink plastic and it will allow it to go on reverse,neutral,drive. I did some research online and read that alot of people are having this problem but dodge is not fixing the problem. I contacted dodge and was told that they could not help me.
Transmission went on my car at 54000 miles it's died in middle of the intersection while i was driving.
I was making a left turn into an intersection when i could not excellerate to clear the intersection because i lost power going to my transmission which almost caused me to get hit by another car approaching the intersection...totally lost power to the transmission...could not go forward or backwards was wondering if there is any sort of recall for this, i felt like i could have been killed, the car gave me no warning what so ever, no warning lights ever came on indicating there was a problem...my husband followed me to the dealer later on in the day and i was told it was some sort of valve body problem and it would cost $680.00 to fix it...never been so scared in my life not sure if i chose the right components or not but it felt like the tranny to me...i got three or four blocks from the dealer and then my service engine soon light came on...if this is not something that's on a recall then some one can be killed...i think god was just with me...the dealer also stated alot of them were coming back for some sort of vacum hose problem, well if that many is coming back why they have not had a recall not unless its not being reported...maybe i can help save the next person from a tragedy and people need to be aware.

This vehicle while driving 40 mph down the road suddenly had the battery light come on then the transmission light then all the warning gauges came on and started blinking as this was happening the vehicles engine was accelerating and decelerating, and the vehicle would not go past first gear road the shoulder until i could get safely off the road. Shut vehicle off it seemed to correct the problem. Went to have battery and alternator checked both were fine. Since then every few days the battery light will come on and then go off after vehicle is restarted. Today 2/11/2015 the battery light came on again and the vehicle started to buck around 40 mph then stop if i accelerated or decelerated. And at one point when idling at a red light it stalled and then started back up. I have heard a lot of similar issues with this problem with this vehicle. We as the consumers should not to be made to shell out thousands of dollars for things that the manufacturer should stand behind. We pay enough for the car to begin with we shouldn't have to pay more for something that is obviously not isolated to one or two incidents. Some of the parts that are rumored to be the problem are fcm, tcm, and ecm. All are supposedly fixed with a computer update. Well then so be it don't charge us the consumer.

There was no sign that there was any problems with my car. I got in the vehicle, started the ignition, and was not able to shift the gear from park to reverse. I had a local towing company come and pick up the car, and they took it to a local mechanic. The tower said there's been recalls on the column shifter for the dodge chargers. After the mechanic looked at the car, he said that yes it was the column shifter and it would need to be replaced. It will cost $380.35 to have it all replaced. Since i didn't do anything to damage the car, and there's a recall on the particular item that is being replaced i don't see why i shouldn't be able to have some form of reimbursement sent to me.

I was driving home along with my wife from running errands when my vehicle shut down while driving at 45mphs per hour. I called aaa to come and tow my vehicle. They did just that and the service-contracted towing company for aaa dropped my dodge charger rt off to the auto repair shop that i'm accustomed to going. The mechanic told me that the battery was drained heavily from the engine problem. So he took out the old battery i had and put in a new battery. Once he did that he tried to get the dodge charger rt to start but there was no luck. But eventually some electrical power was restored to a level in order for a diagnostic test to be performed. Once this mechanic completed the diagnostic test he told me that the codes he received are identical to the recall problems associated with the 2007 model of the dodge charger rt. He told me that the 2007 model for this vehicle had the most recall problems for the issue that i experienced which were engine problems. He said that the engine problems were the second most recalled issue after the transmission problems for this vehicle. He told me that i needed to investigate about getting a recall complaint made for this vehicle with the manufacturer (dodge), because the engine problem justified the same recall issues that previous owners had with the model and year of this vehicle. Please help me because i was told that the manufacturer warranty expired.

My 2007 dodge charger suddenly would not shift out of park today 7/12/2013. After researching online i discovered there is a recall for this issue however my vin is not covered.

2007 dodge charger r/t was parked in driveway.upon starting the vehicle, it would not shift out of park.the vehicle had to be towed to a repair center for diagnosis; however, it seems to be a common problem for chargers.there was a recall done for 05-07 charger/magnum/chrysler 300 lx model vehicles, for an issue with the shift lever.upon calling the chrysler corp. To see if the r/t model (with an upgraded engine size) would be covered under the recall, i was informed it was not. If the recall was on the base model, it should be recalled on all, as the basics of the car structure itself, and the basic parts used, would most likely be the same.if they admit to a defective part in the lx, do right by the customers, and allow the recall to encompass all models of the vehicle.

The shift assembly that allows the car to go from park to drive has broken. Called dodge and asked about a recall and they stated one has been issued but not for my car due to the time frame it was built. So no recall for my car. This is a major safety hazards cause it could slip out of gear or the brakes could fell or who knows else will happen. I need this fixed and not to happy with dodge due to they wont issue a recall for my car when i can look on the internet and find other cases just like mine and same year and make and model.

We have experienced a shudder while stopped for lights on and off for years, since the car was new in 07. The dealer could not find anything wrong (no codes) and could not duplicate the complaint. Then in 2013 it began stalling at lights after the shudder and sometimes without the shudder. Again leaving no codes. I'm a ase certified master tech of forty years. A torque converter lockup could cause it to shudder and stall, but should leave a code. But a defective crank position or cam position sensor could shut igntion off without leaving a code. Therefore, for a total of $32.50 i changed both sensors. It fixed both issues for 7 or 8 months. Suddenly, today 12/30/14 it's doing both again! there's to many complaints about this to ignore the safety issues of stalling in traffic while standing still driving 60 mph.help fix this problem before someone is killed!!!!!! thanks.
The car is stuck in park and after calling dodge they tell me that my car doesn't fall under the recall due to my vin #. The thing is they know this problem is happening to a lot of their vehicles why not have all the cars that experience this problem be in the recall. I don't understand.
Reverse went out in transmission. There was no warning of any sort. Had no idea that i even had any problems. Took vehicle to the dealership to be repaired under warranty. Was without my vehicle for almost a month while still having to make payments and find another way of getting around.vehicle was just over a year old. Got the vehicle back and the reverse went out in the transmission again as well as the rear main seal leaking. Took vehicle back to dealership for more repairs and was without my vehicle again for almost a month. Now, the motor is knocking and skipping and vehicle has less than 95,000 miles. These cars are lemons and i don't know how chrysler corporation is getting away with this and i sure do not recommend anyone buying a dodge. Wish i had never bought this vehicle and somebody needs to step up to the plate and make it right. Sad part is i am stuck with a vehicle that is going to need major engine repairs or engine replace and i still owe on the vehicle and of course there is no warranty left.
Notification code k39the transmission gear shift lever interlock return spring hook broke.the broken interlock return spring hook was the result of the inability to move the gear shift lever out of the park position.i called the dodge dealership and they would not repair it as per notification code k39 recall.i have my repair receipts from midas auto service experts.
2007 dodge charger was stuck in park. No other problems. Found out that chrysler has a defective part in these cars called the transmission shifter interlock lever recalled on some models (notification code k39) . However, the other dodge chargers are not covered under the recall even though it has the same defective part. Instead, they want to charge the consumer to fix the problem although it is well known that it is a manufacturing problem. (its a cheap plastic pink release button that goes out at any given time causing the car to be stuck in park) this is a widespread, well known, highly documented defected part that the recall only covered on few models not all models. This is a cheap and unethical move on chrysler-dodge's part to have the consumer bear the cost when it is not the consumer's problem. This needs to be recalled across the board on anyand all vehicles equipped with this cheap piece of plastic. Instead since my particular 2007 dodge charger is not included in the recall, i am left to pay roughly $500.00 to repair it. Really disheartening and pathetic when customers want to buy american but get this as quality!

Car will not shift out of park
The vehicle will not come out of park. Vehicle towed to dealership. Tech diagnosed problem as needing to replace the transmission shifter interlock lever. Labor, parts, taxes, and misc. Charges totaled $498.18 were paid by customer. Dealer stated there was no recall for part from chrysler. On charger forums found posts that chrysler had issued a k39 notification letter which could be filled out and sent to chrysler group recall center. Customer submitted form. Chrysler responded that vehicle was built one month before recall range so it would not be covered. Customer does not agree with chrysler's recall range in that it is too limited and needs to be expanded. Same part is failing, whether vehicle was built in recall range or a month earlier. It is still a dangerous problem in that the vehicle is inoperable and can leave the driver and family stranded in unfamiliar surroundings and late at night. Chrysler should include vehicle in recall and pay for all parts and labor.

The transmission shifter interlock lever was recalled on 2005 - 2007 dodge and chrysler vehicles, however after contacting dodge directly i was told my vehicle was not covered because it was not built during the years of the recall.once the lever is broken, you're unable to put your car into gear.the same issue that was recalled for the other years of these vehicles has happened to my car.and from the research i've done online there are hundreds if not thousands of other complains with the same issue.i contacted 3 different dealerships and it's going to cost approximately $390 to have the plastic lever replaced with the metal lever that's being used now.i feel as though this is a known issue with dodge and chrysler and therefore should be covered by the manufacture.this could be very dangerous as the car will not go into gear if the lever breaks, and can cause a person to be stranded.if i needed to get away from someone in a life or death situation i would not have been able to leave in my car because of this defect. I believe dodge and chrysler should revisit this recall and extend to all cars it affect.my car is a 2007 dodge charger, however it was built in 2006 therefore it does not "qualify" for the recall.

07 dodge charger, with automatic transmission, and console shifter. The plastic piece holding the park gear release spring breaks off and the vehicle can then not be shifted into gear.this is an obvious engineering flaw that chrysler and it's dealerships are well aware of, and choose not to address as a warranty or recall issue.the vehicle i am involved with has only 46,000 miles.the problem is widespread enough that the aftermarket parts industry, speciffically dorman , manufactures and sells a metal replacement for this obviously defective and inadequate part.

I drove my car to the end of my road to pick my kids up from the bus stop.once i put the car in park to allow the kids to get in it would not shift out of park.i called a tow truck and when he arrived he removed the plastic console and showed me that by pressing a hot pink lever my car would engage.he was correct and i drove my car home.i contacted the dealership and they informed me that it would cost around $350 to have fixed since my warranty ran out less than one month ago.i do not feel that i should have to pay that after reading the numerous complaints listed on here.this is obviously shoddy manufacturing and should be recalled.
Shifter stuck in park. Car drove fine, parked it at night, the next morning the car would not move out of park.researched the problem online, found a fix (to prevent calling a tow), and drove the charger to the dealer.i expected this to be covered under a recall (#08v583000).but it was not, called chrysler and they stated that my vehicle was not covered.how many times does this have to happen before the manufacturer will do something about it?admit to the problem, pay for the repair, and consumers would be satisfied.very displeased with chrysler/dodge.other problems manufacturer will not pay for, rotor/brake pads wearing prematurely/loud squeal, drivers window leaves starch marks on glass, abs light on, engine sputters.

I own a 2007 dodge charger. Biggest piece of junk ever in my drive way.i was excited when the challenger came out, my daughter would get the charger and momma would get the new challenger. I can say, that wont be happening.in the three years i've had this car, i have had to spend several hundred dollars to have the transmission fixed from leaking fluid. A part i was told that was manufactured incorrectly, but no recall, i had to purchase the fix kit myself.within 6 months from this happening, the instrument cluster went out. Loosing all electronics in the car. Again, no recall another $600+ out of my pocket. Now just this week the "pink thinky" has messed up.this left me stranded in any empty parking lot at work on a friday afternoon and my husband an hour away.thank goodness the mechanic shop i go to could tell me how to override and get me home. Of course i called the dodge dealership first, but low and behold the service department could not help me. The answer, "i can send a tow truck. I do know there is an override but i'm not sure how it works."really!three things right there a recall should be issued on!this car should not have the problems it does without someone taking responsibility for correcting it.mitsibishi has dodge beat by along shot!00 galant, was traded in for the charger with 260k miles on it, never spent 1 dime that was not for routine maintenance, and it still ran, drove and handled like it did the day i bought it. But i just had to have the new dodge charger, big mistake on my part! there will never be another dodge anything in my driveway. I know dodge does not care, i'm just one out of millions but they should!dodge can go bankrupt totally, and never manufacture another thing and my work would keep right on revolving!

I went to drive my 2007 dodge charger and it was stuck in park. No other problems. I investigated and found out that chrysler has a defective part in these cars. They want to charge the consumer to fix the problem although it is well known that it is a manufacturing problem. (its a cheap plastic pink release button that goes out at any given time causing the car to be stuck in park) this is not the consumer's problem this needs to be recalled instead i was told since i was the second owner of the car there is nothing they can really do. It costs roughly $500.00 to be fixed. Really makes a happy customer question the quality of their service.

I was leaving work, and entering i-285 off exit ramp, i saw a vehicle that was stopped ahead of me approx. A quarter of a mile up ahead of me, so i began to apply brakes to prepare to stop ahead...and i realized that my brake pedal would not move or give in to even apply pressure to brake. I was going approx. 45 to 50mph...and i crashed and rear ended a car full force without any brakes at all. Both airbags deployed...it was awful and the scariest thing that i have ever experienced. It resulted in a 4 car accident. I suffered a broken ankle in two places, torn foot ligaments, and burns from airbags. I am angry, because i found out about several recalls that are out with my cat that i was unaware of. I have had my car serviced with dodge on three different occassions prior to this happening within the past 6/7 months. Something will be done about this...i could have died!!!!!
While traveling at 40+ mph i attempted to accelerate by pressing the accelerator pedal all the way, the dodge charger rt(5.7l v8) did not react and kept accelerating at the normal rate before i pressed the accelerator. Since it was not reacting to my input, i took my foot completely off the accelerator but the vehicle kept accelerating at a constant rate. Then after two seconds, the vehicle accelerated at full throttle, in automatic, downshifted, and continued to speed up at full throttle. Brakes were pressed but seemed to have zero effect on the vehicle's uncontrolled acceleration. Finally i decided to shift into neutral and the engine resumed normal operation. I then shifted into drive again from neutral, and operation of the vehicle resumed to normal. First time this has happened and is extremely unsafe, luckily, no car was in front of me and i had time to control the car before i came to the upcoming red light/intersection.

Ive had issues that i am reporting to thus site. Dealership said my vin didn't match. My esp, abs, and bas lights have been on for 2 years. I went to dealership to inquire on ecu flash with new software by recall, but the dealership said only police package vehicles were included in that recall. Ive researched countless hours to find very many people who have this same problem. Now i am needing to bring my car in for the airbag recall.from what it states on thiswebsite, my recall was ordered back in may, 2015. From the information that i read,there was supposed to be a 60 day time span within which the dealership was supposed to fix my airbag issue, and the fact that my vehicle vin number falls under this recall order, i believe that i was previously misled by chrysler dodge jeep about the issues pertaining to my abs, bas, and esp issues which regard a wheel speed sensor, from my understanding, that causes me to lose traction, trouble braking in moist to wet weather, and my cruise control option has not worked since the abs, bas, and esp lights first came on 2 years ago, when my wheels lost traction while pulling into a gravel driveway at about 5 miles an hour.i drove off road accidentally twice in the passed year: the first time was caused by a lack of abs and a braking assistance system which caused only minor damage to front bumper. The second time was due to loss of tire traction while pulling away from a stop sign while it was raining, causing me to spin out into a 180 degrees turn to which my tires caught traction and i acceled through a white picket fence on the corner of the street while my foot firmly jammed on the brake pedal to try and prevent personal or external damage. Still damaging passenger fender and front grille. I'm close to request of a depreciated financial reimbursement on vehiclal. My safety, security, and trust has become compromised.

My rear brakes lock up while i driving and abs light comes on. It caused me to run off the road and it started a fire.
The rear brakes are going through routers and brake pads extensively. The reason why this is happening is still unknown. Wanted to make you aware of this issue, and make sure thisproblem has nothing to do with the abs recall.
I purchased this car 2 years ago with the title, just having it at my parents house because i have another car. I drove it back to memphis on the highway and it jerked, cut the car off turn it back on it drives no more than 30 mph. Got a reading at 2 different auto zones,and got a tune up, oil change, and wire coils that go with the car. Still the same problem. So i drive the car back to my parents house a hour away from memphis and it's going slow, so of course law enforcement had some questions that almost allowed me to get the car towed at the times with the coronavirus going on as well.. So, after i get my slow car out the impound, i looked on cars.com and i see a previous recall on my car that i didn't see at the time or purchase or had any idea of, that might be a little to late to fix even though these the exact same problems i'm having at this present moment. My car jerks back when trying to put it in the reverse or drive. So, i go back to autozone, in the little town because now i'm afraid to move my car because of the danger it's in. Autozobe don't want to do the reading so i do it myself because they're not allowed to get into people cars at this time. So, keep in mind i've got the work done to the car and i'm coming back to confirm that i did do those things. The man who worked at autozone told me it was something with my wiring, and to take it back to the dealership because they cannot find the part needed in the store i seen it with my own eyes the screen turn blank. Took it to dodge, they just replace the air bags, and of course offer to make me spend money. I told them about the previous recall on my car and no one helped even though there is a maximum 10 years. But if these cars are still selling and being used there shouldn't be any time frame for the problem to be fixed because the car is now unsafe and unusable, and the owner out of money.

The first incident happened after i was driving on the freeway for about 30 miles i parked the car with the car on so i can have the air on. I had to move my car and the car wouldn't move. The shifter would move but it didn't seem to change into gear. I had it towed to a transmission shop thinking it was a transmission problem. The shop looked it over and found nothing wrong with the transmission they said it was the brakes that were locked up so they unplugged the abs and that seemed to fix the problem.the second incident happened when i was driving home from work and came to a stop at an intersection when i pulled away from the light the car hadn't switched gears and wouldn't accelerate. When i parked the car there was a heavy smell of the brakes burning.

Was driving down road and car started to slow down and became extremely difficult to operate. Car slowed pretty much to a stop and i had to use all my strength to get it to turn so i could pull over to a safe place. The car completely shut off and locked up on me. I put the car in park and took the key out, put the key back in to restart the car and it started right back up. I have been researching since this has happened and there are tons of complaints about this exact thing. I have two small children and now i am afraid to drive my car and it is my only vehicle.

This problem needs to be addressed and it needs to be fixed before people start to die from horrific crashes from no fault of their own! i'm so disappointed aboutthis and would have never bought this car if i would have known i was putting mine, my kids or others life at danger! absolutely ridiculous!

I purchased a 2006 dodge charger daytona over three months ago. I took the vehicle back to the dealer for its first oil change. Since the day i purchased it with 70 miles on it, the brakes have squealed badly. I told the dealer about it and they were going to check it out. They called me to say that they could not hear any noise, but if there was a squeal it is typical on all charger daytona's. It is something i just have to live with. When i picked up the car i drove it 100 feet and applied the brakes. A loud squeal came from the brakes, but they still refuse to do anything about it. Why is this? why don't they do anything about it?

Poor brake performance - brakes making noise during light braking. First reported 10,088 miles. Rotors turned and pads cleaned. Now 10,500 miles and same problem.
Several police departments and automotive dealerships should be investigated, inspected to determine if they have these vehicles in operation; texas area dealerships and texas police departments that utilize these models (e.g.) san antonio, houston. Austin, dallas dealerships , police departments.
Driver states while merging on to highway into traffic and hitting a slippery spot the (tcs) traction control system engaged as normal (throttle was cut back to idle). However, once traction was regained the tcs failed to disengage. The vehicle had to be pulled to side of roadway and shut off. Once restarted the vehicle returned to normal operation. This happened twice to date. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, however the dealer reported that the problem could not be duplicated.
Failure of the antilock brakes and power steering resulting in an accident where another vehicle got hit from behind. The gauge cluster died upon impact.this was a rental car from enterprise and the customer before had just turned in the vehicle because she was having problems with the brakes and steering.enterprise refused to document the incident as per that customer and then proceeded to give the vehicle to my son five minutes later.this vehicle has been recalled for abs control module software issues that may cause rear brakes to lock up. Chrysler says that not this vin number.
The contact owns a 2007 dodge charger.the contact stated that while driving 30 mph during inclement weather the brakes locked.the contact notice a recall regarding the service brakes, hydraulic: antilock: control unit, module but the manufacturer informed the contact that the vin did not apply to the recall.

2007 dodge charger r/t road & track package(hd brakes)my vehicle has 3500 miles from when i purchased it new and has excessive brake noise and possible front brake damage due to grooving/warping of the rotors. I havecomplained to the local dealer in my area as to the problem and a possible permanent fix with tsb 05-001-07. The dealer has stated i've been declined for this tsb and all that can be done under warranty is a temporary fix of replacing the brake pads with the same likeness and re-cut the rotors. This should not even be an option for a brand new vehicle with only 3500 carefull miles. The manufactuer is fully aware of this problem in their braking systems and has done nothing to correct this, that i am aware of. As i stated, tsb 05-001-07 was denied for my vehicle due to a "sales code" that does not match. My vehicle has this heavy duty brake system stated in the tsb, but do to "liability" will not be done. I have contacted several vehicle owners with the same problems i have, and all are just as frustrated as i am to have a new vehicle with brake problems.the dealer then stated to file a complaint with the manufacturer and hope something "comes out" before the 12,000 mile warranty is up. Thank you!
With only 95 (brand new) miles the vehicle started shaking when apply breaks over 50 mph.it seem like badly warped rotors. Send a e mail to dodge did.t seem to care. The dealer said they will fix it, i met another owner with same problem.this a expensive car , the vehical mwy be fored to fix this problems.
I have had my car for 4 months now and have already had the rotors cut and the pads replaced. The squealing was more than a nuisance and the rotors would overheat and warp. I had this work done at 8200 miles. I now have 9800 miles and the pads are already making noise and the rotors overheat after semi hard braking.
The contact owns a 2007 dodge charger.when the brake pedal was depressed at 70 mph, the steering wheel shook and the brake pedal shuttered.the dealer shaved and turned the rotors because they were warped.the failure recurred after 50 miles.the dealer was unable to repair the failure.the contact installed aftermarket brake pads and rotors, as well as new tires on the vehicle; yet, the failure continued.the failure mileage was 500 and current mileage was 27,926.
The contact owns a 2007 dodge charger. When driving at various speeds, there was a loud noise in the front of the vehicle. The mechanic stated that they couldn't hear any noise and that the brake pads were not defective. A second diagnosis was obtained from another mechanic who stated that the front brake rotors were warped and the tie rods needed to be replaced. An authorized dealer replaced the tie rods. The contact is concerned that a new vehicle has experienced multiple failures. Since the vehicle was repaired the failure has not recurred. The failure mileage was 12,000 and the current mileage was 37,000.
Rear brakes on 2007 dodge charger (17144 mile, mainly hwy) grooved consistently from top to bottom. Dealer checked and the only explanation they would give me was that i live on a gravel road and that rocks are causing this. Apparently if you live or are going to drive on a gravel road you can't own a charger. Both the dealer and chrysler customer service turned this down as a warranty item. Dealer stated rotors needed to be turned but without giving me a solution as to preventing this problem in the future. The grooves in the rotor are about 1/8 of an inch. This would take about 40 rocks perfectly lined up on each of the rear brakes. Impossible. I am be given the run around and would appreciate any assistance possible.
Loud and consistent squealing of front brakes since purchase date in february 07. Reported to dealer at both oil changes and nothing done.
Driving a 2007 dodge charger with about 21k miles.yesterday, while driving in town, i took a right turn and while navigating the turn with the signal on, i heard a loud plastic-on-plastic popping and creaking noise. When the turn signal went off, there was a loud pop and the left signal turned on!!now, when i turn right i hear clicking from the wheel/column and when the signal cancels it does it so hard that it activates the turn signal of the opposite direction.i'm sure the other drivers on the road believe i'm confused which way i'm going ' i'm so glad it didn't cause an accident!so the turn signal in the steering wheel makes a plastic 'popping' noise, and is making it difficult to steer on a turn.the dealer said it's the clockspring. Numerous posts on forums mention the same issue.there's been a recall on chrysler/dodge minivans in the early 2000's for the same issue (clockspring).... But not one for this vehicle! a problem like this appears to be a 'cheap' plastic part failing - i have 21k miles on this car (but obviously past the 3-yr warranty)... Parts should *not* fail at 21k miles!
This incident has happened twice now. One, i was stopped at a stop light and the car just shut off, engine, all poweretc. Second time was going 25 miles per hour and the same thing happened..car just shut off...no power steering, no brakes...and was in a neighborhood with lots s of kids out and about.dealer say no computer codes no issues. This is not a safe vehicle.
Premature busing and control arms failure, leading to loss of steering control and premature tire wear,harsh noise and poor absorption of road hazards ( uneven roads, or pots holes lead to abrupt steering movement).
My 07 dodge charger r/t stalls randomly causing lost of power and steering wheel lock.very dangerous on the highway, me and my family could of been killed.i would like this to be a recall as all dodge dealerships are saying its not a recall. I found on many forums with people dealing with the stall issue on the vehicle the appropriate action is to reflash the power control module,but the dealership refuse and tells me to call chrysler where they as well refuse.i am getting tired of dodge this has happen to me about 7 times since my purchase in july 2014. Please help nhtsa.
My vehicle was released to me from carstar of macon with a knowingly inoperable tpms on all four of my tires. I was not told this before i paid and drove away. I got 5 minutes down the road and felt violent shaving in the steering wheel. I turned around and drove the vehicle back to carstar and waited about 20 minutes for them to tell me that they were aware that the tpms was inoperable. That they were aware that all four sensors were not working properly and that one had actually fallen out into the tire itself and was bouncing around in the wheel well knocking off the alignment of the vehicle. They gave me an option of fixing it or removing the sensors. I was told that they would try to contact my insurence company to see if they would pay for the damaged parts that were operating normally before they switched out the new tire wheels. Again they release the vehicle to me with an inoperable tpms system and advise meto drive over 60 mph.
Steering / tie rods.
The contact owns a 2007 dodge charger. The contact stated that the front tires were being replaced by an independent mechanic when he was informed that the front driver side tie rod needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance. The failure and current mileages were 9,000.
This is now the third time the vehicle has stalled while in gear. Galeana in ft myers has serviced the vehicle after every incident. We have been out of a vehicle for an accumulative of over thirty days, had to pay for rentals, taxes, gas to get to and from the dealer and bogus repair costs. The first service charge was that of 500 hundred dollars, which the vehicle stalled a few days later and the techs said the service they had done would not have fixed the stalling!!???what??. They then replaced the relay fuse worth fifteen dollars the 2nd time it was serviced, the vehicle stalled two days after having it back and we were on our way to the hospital in the vehicle! i need this documented because this time dodge corporate responded in less than twelve hours to galeana to have the car serviced and a main wire replaced and it hasn't stalled since, but now i want reimburse!!!
The 2007 dodge charger seized while in gear; loss of control and speed; locked steering wheel,no acceleration,while moving at 3mph in reverse once and while merging onto i-75 @ ~8mph two other times all within 5 weeks of each other but with no indicator warning dash lights illuminating.neither of the auto mechanics could find a problem.the vehicle hasn't seized up, but the vehicle's checkengine light and electronic throttle control indicator warning lights came on last week.the dodge charger manual says if the electronic throttle control light comes on, to discontinue use of the vehicle until an authorized dealer can evaluate the problem.july 7th 2014 the vehicle went to a certified dealer to be diagnosed. They said they couldn't find a reason for the lights being on.sure enough they ran me up a 900 dollar bill consisting of the following repairs:filter tr 21170001/sealer no 01081003/fluid atf 01081018/antifreeze 01081004/connector 09004009. I was told by the service manager these were the repairs needed: water outlet housing/transmission hydraulic service w/ programming/air filter/fuel system cleaningwe picked the vehicle up july 10th 2014 from dealership, drove it directly home.my girlfriend drove the vehicle 30 miles to work july 12th 2014,after an 8 hour shift she started the dodge charger letting it run idle for 5 minutes before exiting the parking lot.the vehicle was brought to a stopbefore entering the interstate. When she tried to accelerate the vehicle did not move or make a revving sound, the steering wheel was locked tight but hot air was continuing to blow from vents.no indicator lights were present before during or after the event. The vehicle hadn't physically acted up since the first 3 times 7 months ago, so we immediately called the dealer and she drove it directly there.
When in gear and vehicle is moving, reverse and drive, the vehicle will seize, causing loss of steering and speed. While this vehicles vin number is not recognized on the recall list, we have had several recall problems with the vehicle which dodge did except responsibility for by paying the repair cost. I want to document that 3 body shops including a certified dodge dealer cannot diagnose this vehicles seizing problem. This is the fourth time it is going into the shop for seizing while in gear.if someone is injured in this vehicle when it malfunctions i hold dodge jeep and chrysler fully labial for negligence and possible conspiracy of current knowledge of vehicles with faulty equipment and failure to document all such vehicles by leaving their vin numbers off the recall forms.
Was driving down road and car started to slow down and became extremely difficult to operate. Car slowed pretty much to a stop and i had to use all my strength to get it to turn so i could pull over to a safe place. The car completely shut off and locked up on me. I put the car in park and took the key out, put the key back in to restart the car and it started right back up. I have been researching since this has happened and there are tons of complaints about this exact thing. I have two small children and now i am afraid to drive my car and it is my only vehicle. I just purchased this charger about 3 months ago. This is the first time it's happened . This problem needs to be addressed and it needs to be fixed before people start to die from horrific crashes from no fault of their own! i'm so disappointed aboutthis and would have never bought this car if i would have known i was putting mine, my kids or others life at danger! absolutely ridiculous!
Ive had issues that i am reporting to thus site. Dealership said my vin didn't match. My esp, abs, and bas lights have been on for 2 years. I went to dealership to inquire on ecu flash with new software by recall, but the dealership said only police package vehicles were included in that recall. Ive researched countless hours to find very many people who have this same problem. Now i am needing to bring my car in for the airbag recall.from what it states on thiswebsite, my recall was ordered back in may, 2015. From the information that i read,there was supposed to be a 60 day time span within which the dealership was supposed to fix my airbag issue, and the fact that my vehicle vin number falls under this recall order, i believe that i was previously misled by chrysler dodge jeep about the issues pertaining to my abs, bas, and esp issues which regard a wheel speed sensor, from my understanding, that causes me to lose traction, trouble braking in moist to wet weather, and my cruise control option has not worked since the abs, bas, and esp lights first came on 2 years ago, when my wheels lost traction while pulling into a gravel driveway at about 5 miles an hour.i drove off road accidentally twice in the passed year: the first time was caused by a lack of abs and a braking assistance system which caused only minor damage to front bumper. The second time was due to loss of tire traction while pulling away from a stop sign while it was raining, causing me to spin out into a 180 degrees turn to which my tires caught traction and i acceled through a white picket fence on the corner of the street while my foot firmly jammed on the brake pedal to try and prevent personal or external damage. Still damaging passenger fender and front grille. I'm close to request of a depreciated financial reimbursement on vehiclal. My safety, security, and trust has become compromised.
I have a 2007 dodge charger. On three different occasions within the past eight months, my steering column has locked up while making a left turn.this occurred twice while attempting to turn onto a very busy highway. In the very first incident the column not only locked up, but the car went off also.i had to place my foot on the brake hurriedly, shift to park, and restart the car to unlock the column. On the second occasion the steering column locked up causing me to do the same routine again. The third time it happen was in a parking lot so it wasn't as scary.please look into this matter.
The vehicle has binding in the rack and pinion called dodge said that they would help me fix it but then in the end the decided that i was negligent and its was my fault. The steering wheel can possibly get stuck in place and cause death or even injury.
Takata recall - while exiting a highway into a shopping center, my car completely shut off. My wife was unable to steer the vehicle. Fortunately we were able to restart the vehicle before an accident occurred. This episode was very frightening. Very unsafe. I don't know what caused this, but this desperately needs recalling. Thank you for your concern in this matter.
Car goes to limp mode it feels like it loses power.steering wheel control s dont work and wipers stop when they want
Car started and wouldn't move out of park.had to be towed to dealership.broken internal shifter mechanism,they replaced the shifter assembly.this is a recall on other models but not the srt 8.the srt 8 model needs to be added too.the car only had 62,000 miles when this occurred.
Front outer tie rod ends of 2007 dodge charger 3.5 liter are of a non greasable type. The grease which is utilized at time of installation breaks down prematurely (at around 30,000 miles) and turns to a gritty clay in the ball joint. This premature breakdown of lubrication results in the wearing out and failure of the tie rod end which will result in the loss of control of said vehicle. These are my findings as i did a failure mode evaluation and upgraded the oem component to a greaseable high performance tie rod end.
Upon arriving for my scheduled oil change and tire exchange from snows to summer, i was informed that my tie rod ends on both front wheels needed to be replaced as they were not safe to drive on. So i instructed them to go ahead and fix it as i needed to be able to drive the vehicle and safety is the most important issue when you transport your child on a regular basis (as well as myself). I didn't realize at that time this was something that is covered under warranty or i would have gone to a daimlerchrysler/dodge dealer to get it fixed. It is unacceptable for a car with 33,000 miles to need two new tie rods.this was an emergency repair as i had no previous indication that there was a problem at all. Leaving without getting the vehicle repaired was not an option as i am not willing to put mine or my daughter's safety in jeopardy as she was with me at the time of the appointment. I am aware of the damage to the car that can be caused when a tie rod (or both) fails and didn't think twice about going ahead with the repairs. Upon speaking with a representative after the fact to get a reimbursement (following the instructions in the back of the owners manual regarding emergency repairs not done at a dealer), daimlerchrysler stated they would only replace the parts. This is not good enough as i did not have any other option. I do not feel i should have to pay for something, which would have otherwise been fully covered under the warranty by going to a daimlerchrysler dealer, especially being a safety issue. Had the tie rods indeed broken while driving the vehicle, not only would it have incurred enormous amounts of damage it would have been extremely unsafe for myself and my 6 year old daughter. Research over the internet has since indicated this is a chronic problem with daimlerchrysler vehicles and this is not a repair i should have to pay for.

Shimmy at 73-80 mphvisable steering wheel shakes and shimmys at 73mphcar was at dealer for problem and the dealer rebalanced the wheels. No effect problem still exists.car was returned to another dealer and wheels were rotated. No effect problem still exists.several other owners have same problems with srt/8 models. Remidies have been replacing tie rod ends, wheel bearings, road force balance of wheels and replacement of steering rack. There needs to be a tsb for this problem.
Today the outer tie rod on the drivers wheel side snapped in half. This occurred not after hitting a bump, or a curb, but pulling into a parking space. Yes, a right hand turn at less than 5 miles an hour snapped the outer tie rod in two. How fortunate am i that this defective product did not break while i was on the highway? this is an absolute outrage that dodge knowingly places unsafe components on their cars, and refuses to recall them when the parts continue to fail. Dodge recalls the tie rods on the dakota, ram, and durango; but after thousands of public complaints that charger tie rods are bad also, they do nothing about it. Are they waiting for people to die because of their unsafe products?

Early morningcommute to work, traveled southbound onca highway 15, proximate to miramar way exit.vehicle began to smoke, engine hood sprang open, other drivers indicating that smoke and flames coming from front engine - as hood blocking view.i continued to side of the road, jumped out and watched front end of engine become engulfed in flames!watched entire front end of car burn, during this time highway patrol / fire patrol called. Fire claim number- [xxx].contacted tow company to take- tow driver told me that this was the third dodge challenger he had salvaged in the past month - with the same issue!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
On the above date during inspection of vehicle it was determined the vehicle has abnormal frame rot causing the vehicle to be unsafe. Vehicle is a police car. The town to south five miles and town to east 2miles has same cars since discovered identical rot. Another town 25 miles has same problem (all police cars) i have spoke with dodge and then are aware and offering to pay half to repair.these are very popular cars for law enforcement and models run 06-10. I feel this dangerous issue especially for police use that needs to be addresses. I find is all to interesting that four cars with 25 miles has same issue make all cars not serviceable . All town are small police dept and loss of these cars in hurting our efforts to provide for the community. Dodge has given our dept 30 days to accept offer.
Had vehicle six years and had to replace the front ( left and right) tension struts four times. Major flaw in vehicle where tension struts fail after a few months and need to be replaced. Loud clunking noise is heard every time vehicle encounters a bump or imperfection in the road. Sounds like vehicle is falling apart. Believe chrysler's engineers should redesign part and have it replaced on vehicles experiencing this problem.
Premature busing and control arms failure, leading to loss of steering control and premature tire wear,harsh noise and poor absorption of road hazards ( uneven roads, or pots holes lead to abrupt steering movement).
Defective suspension.
I've had to change control arms and struts multiple times since getting the vehicle.
The car shakes and shimmies. It has been doing it for a few years and keeps getting worse. The higher the speed the more it shakes. It shakes right up the steering column into the steering wheel. I fear the shaking will result in other parts failing which could lead to an accident. Car is very scary to drive. If a steering rod fails because of this it could be catastrophic.
I've had many issues wrong with my car. The first complaint i would like to express is how the car shuts off on me without warning. While driving on the freeway and on busy streets, my car will shut off, but it will start right back up. This is a dangerous hazard and safety concern. I've taken my car to the gresham dodge (on ne burnside) dealership to address this issue (503-666-2277). I was told "if it happens again, bring it back" there was no concern with dodge that they were sending a dangerous vehicle back out on the road, that could potentially cause an accident. This was an issue that needed to be addressed now, not later. Dodge never solved that issue. Furthermore, my car was stuck in the park position on the eve of 4-18-16. I tried to get it into gear, without any success. I had to call for a tow truck. While waiting for a tow, i decided to google dodge chargers stuck in park. On youtube, there were so many others with the same issue. They had video of how to get the car out of park. You had to pry the covering off of the shifting unit. Stick a pen inside to move a wire around, in order to get the car into gear. It worries me that dodge is aware of transmission issues and other issues with their vehicles, yet nothing is being done to fix it. I could of seriously been hurt or seriously hurt someone else while being on the freeway and my car just shutting off. They should be concerned enough to want to look into this issue and fix it. As i stated before, there are numerous videos on youtube with other people experiencing the very same issues. I did file a complaint on the bbb website, along with everyone else. My main objective for this site is to bring out how dangerous it is to operate my car under these conditions, that dodge did not seem to care about. Sounds as if there are transmission and or engine issues with the car that needs immediate attention.

There were three other occupants in the vehicle who sustained unknown injuries that required medical attention. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The police officer stated that due to the failure and momentum going down the incline, the vehicle most likely struck the bridge at a rate of 60 mph. The vehicle was towed to an independent lot. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and dealer were not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.
The ignition switch assembly quit working and the car would not start. All other electrical components worked properly.
I bought my charger on 11/03/06 with 13 miles on it. At 900 miles the engine check light came on. I took it to the dealer, they said an o2 sensor was bad, they replaced it. Then at 980 miles the engine light came on again. It was the same sensor, and the car was in the shop for 3 days. The dealer said everything was good to go. Then on december 27th the light came on again. I took it to the dealer and now they say it needs software for the computer for the engine. Currently i am waiting for them to call me when the part comes in. They said it is o.k to drive til then.......the dealer has been very nice about this ,they have been doing a very good job. I just feel a brand new car shouldn't be doing this and i'm looking into the lemon law.
This is an ongoing problem that began sometime after the airbag recall replacement and continues to happen. Car can be in motion driving down the road or stationary in park or with foot on the brake. For some unknown reason i will hear a ding ding ding, simultaneously all lights will start blinking and the gauges go hay wire dropping and jumping. All alerts will be flashing (including but not limited to gas, transmission, brake etc.). Since a picture cannot exemplify what is happening, a video of a similar (if not the same) problem can be found here: https://youtu.be/qdz-uczi2dethis is not a video of my car but it is similar to what is happening in my car.
Transmission shifter interlock lever failed reference k39
I was driving my 2007 dodge charger and my motor was lock-up. I did not know for sure till i took it to dodge and i had to pay them for this service. Although they did tell me how much it would cost for another motor 8500 like really. Furthermore,the problem was the cooling system which gave no sign or warning til the engine lock-up. Therefore i purchased a use engine same year and model for my 5.7 hemi motor which dodge refuse to give a warranty on but they make them. Sad. I bought a new radiator clean/flushed my cooling system. Now the same thing happened to the motor i just was able to put in same problem cooling system. Please help or let me trade my car in. I honestly think dodge should recall these cars because they built some poor motor and expect hard working people to pay for their poor judgement in building these pretty car.
Vehicle will not shift into gear and is stuck in park.this happened as i was preparing for family to come over labor day weekend.i've determined this is due to a broken shift interlock latch which is a common problem and a recall has been issued for.i contacted dodge/chrysler and was told that my 2007 dodge charger is not included in the recall though the issue is exactly the same and they informed me that it would need to be repaired at my cost and then if my vehicle is later included in a recall, i would be reimbursed.i've read of many dodge owners experiencing this same issue where they have the exact issue but are excluded within the recall years.this needs to be corrected as their understanding of the scope is not capturing the complete spectrum.how do we get included into the recall?if dodge/chrysler will not stand behind their products, especially for a simple plastic part that breaks, then i certainly don't foresee myself ever buying another dodge/chrysler.very disappointing and frustrating to say the least.thank goodness there is a temporary work around in order to still be able to drive the vehicle.lease help!
I own a 2007 dodge charger. Biggest piece of junk ever in my drive way.i was excited when the challenger came out, my daughter would get the charger and momma would get the new challenger. I can say, that wont be happening.in the three years i've had this car, i have had to spend several hundred dollars to have the transmission fixed from leaking fluid. A part i was told that was manufactured incorrectly, but no recall, i had to purchase the fix kit myself.within 6 months from this happening, the instrument cluster went out. Loosing all electronics in the car. Again, no recall another $600+ out of my pocket. Now just this week the "pink thinky" has messed up.this left me stranded in any empty parking lot at work on a friday afternoon and my husband an hour away.thank goodness the mechanic shop i go to could tell me how to override and get me home. Of course i called the dodge dealership first, but low and behold the service department could not help me. The answer, "i can send a tow truck. I do know there is an override but i'm not sure how it works."really!three things right there a recall should be issued on!this car should not have the problems it does without someone taking responsibility for correcting it.mitsibishi has dodge beat by along shot!00 galant, was traded in for the charger with 260k miles on it, never spent 1 dime that was not for routine maintenance, and it still ran, drove and handled like it did the day i bought it. But i just had to have the new dodge charger, big mistake on my part! there will never be another dodge anything in my driveway. I know dodge does not care, i'm just one out of millions but they should!dodge can go bankrupt totally, and never manufacture another thing and my work would keep right on revolving!
I was đriving my car when i noticed smoke coming from under the hood. I pulled into hardees parking lot. Looked at the odometer.car temperature was normal. I turn the engine off.waited a few seconds when i noticed heavy white smoke coming from under the hood.i grabbed my purse and exited the car.i called 911 while on the phone flames started coming from under the hood. Driver side under in front of the tire is where the flames started.i took a photo
I was exiting a parking lot. I had my foot on the brake waiting to exit and make my left hand turn. I had my windows up and a/c on. While the car was stationary there was a big bang under my hood and i started to smell coolant. I drove my car to a repair shop and was told one of my cooling fans broke, sending a blade into my radiator causing severe damage to it.
One incident. Transmission stuck in park. Occured after parking car. Dealership installed 4578029ae:shifter:replaced shifter.
My 2007 dodge charger with 98,000 miles just threw a cooling fan blade through the radiator while the vehicle was in motion, leaving me on the side of a busy highway.i know this is a re-occurring issue because i am on the city council for a small suburb of houston and we had several police cars do the same thing.since this is a known defect that could leave the driver broken down in a dangerous situation (inclement weather, late at night, bad part of town), i believe it should be recalled. The repair costs a little under $1,000 to replace the radiator and cooling assembly.
Takata recall.
This airbag light came on and has control over the air conditioning unit and also controls the defrost as well. This is unsafe condition because i live in a state where it rains really hard and i almost hit several cars from behind because i didn't have my defrost in the front or rear.
Vehicle occasionally loses power during normal driving. Throttle stuck wide open during acceleration from about 10 mph.
My son was driving the car and was at the stop light. When the light turned green and he hit the gas to go the car stalled and it started smoking from under the trunk and within seconds was in flames. My son had to jump out the passenger side for safety reasons. The fire department went and turned the fire out. We have no idea why it went up in fire. We were driving it all morning and my son drives it to school with no issues.
A recall was issued in 2011 for shift interlock levers for vehicles that were manufactured beginning in june 2007 (recall # k39). The symptom was customers not being able to shift their vehicles from the park position. My vehicle was manufactured in february 2007. I was told by dodge customer service that my was made before the date allowed. I would like to inquire whether the component affecting these vehicles was added after my vehicle was manufactured or is it the same. If it is the same please allow the earlier vehicles to fall under this recall also. Thank you. My vehicle was stationary in the driveway.
I was driving my car when all of a sudden flames were coming from under the hood on the driver side. I pulled over, got out and called 911. By the time the fire department put out the fire, my car was totaled. There must have been a defect somewhere under the hood. It may have been the engine which i had to replace at 66,841 miles for over $8,000. I got no warnings on the dash, just fire from under the hood.
2007 dodge chargers and i replaced the starter and still did not start up i was told it is posibly the win module
I purchased this car 2 years ago with the title, just having it at my parents house because i have another car. I drove it back to memphis on the highway and it jerked, cut the car off turn it back on it drives no more than 30 mph. Got a reading at 2 different auto zones,and got a tune up, oil change, and wire coils that go with the car. Still the same problem. So i drive the car back to my parents house a hour away from memphis and it's going slow, so of course law enforcement had some questions that almost allowed me to get the car towed at the times with the coronavirus going on as well.. So, after i get my slow car out the impound, i looked on cars.com and i see a previous recall on my car that i didn't see at the time or purchase or had any idea of, that might be a little to late to fix even though these the exact same problems i'm having at this present moment. My car jerks back when trying to put it in the reverse or drive. So, i go back to autozone, in the little town because now i'm afraid to move my car because of the danger it's in. Autozobe don't want to do the reading so i do it myself because they're not allowed to get into people cars at this time. So, keep in mind i've got the work done to the car and i'm coming back to confirm that i did do those things. The man who worked at autozone told me it was something with my wiring, and to take it back to the dealership because they cannot find the part needed in the store i seen it with my own eyes the screen turn blank. Took it to dodge, they just replace the air bags, and of course offer to make me spend money. I told them about the previous recall on my car and no one helped even though there is a maximum 10 years. But if these cars are still selling and being used there shouldn't be any time frame for the problem to be fixed because the car is now unsafe and unusable, and the owner out of money.
While on the freeway i turned on my air conditioner and all of a sudden the fan blade fell apart disintegrated and it broke my radiator i understand that there is a recall but certain bins don't can't be involved in the recall i don't understand because my car has the same problem as the recall but i can't get any information about if it's going to get fixed or not

This is now the third time the vehicle has stalled while in gear. Galeana in ft myers has serviced the vehicle after every incident. We have been out of a vehicle for an accumulative of over thirty days, had to pay for rentals, taxes, gas to get to and from the dealer and bogus repair costs. The first service charge was that of 500 hundred dollars, which the vehicle stalled a few days later and the techs said the service they had done would not have fixed the stalling!!???what??. They then replaced the relay fuse worth fifteen dollars the 2nd time it was serviced, the vehicle stalled two days after having it back and we were on our way to the hospital in the vehicle! i need this documented because this time dodge corporate responded in less than twelve hours to galeana to have the car serviced and a main wire replaced and it hasn't stalled since, but now i want reimburse!!!

My 07 dodge charger r/t stalls randomly causing lost of power and steering wheel lock.very dangerous on the highway, me and my family could of been killed.i would like this to be a recall as all dodge dealerships are saying its not a recall. I found on many forums with people dealing with the stall issue on the vehicle the appropriate action is to reflash the power control module,but the dealership refuse and tells me to call chrysler where they as well refuse.i am getting tired of dodge this has happen to me about 7 times since my purchase in july 2014. Please help nhtsa.

While traveling at 40+ mph i attempted to accelerate by pressing the accelerator pedal all the way, the dodge charger did not react and kept accelerating at the normal rate before i pressed the accelerator. Since it was not reacting to my input, i took my foot completely off the accelerator but the vehicle kept accelerating at a constant rate. Then after two seconds, the vehicle accelerated at full throttle, and continued to speed up at full throttle. Brakes were pressed but seemed to have zero effect on the vehicle's uncontrolled acceleration. Finally i decided to pull over to shift into neutral and it continue to accelerate. I then shifted into park and pressed the emergency brakes while the engine was still accelerating.first time this has happened and is extremely unsafe, luckily, no car was in front of me and i had time to pull the car over before i came to the upcoming red light/intersection.

Vehicle on three isolated occasions over the past week has lunges forward while stopped at a red traffic light, another instance at a stop sign and as of today while waiting in line at a local coffee shop drive through. On each occasion my vehicle was at a complete stop for roughly a minute, my foot was on the brake and suddenly the vehicle began to self rev to 3500 rpm. On all occasions i had to immedialty place the vehicle in neutralto prevent catastrophic endangerment to myself, surrounding vehiclesand persons. This condition is a detriment to he safe operation of the vehicle. However dodge refuses to resolve the issue.

While driving to work the instrument panel gauges and warning lights began to go haywire. The gauges dropped to 0 and the warning lights and bells began to flicker and ring. The fan/heater began fluctuating up and down as well. Early on, this would occur intermittently. Now it is more consistent. It is occurring daily-- more so in the early morning hours. It is quite scary because you have no idea what will happen next. I acquired a video of this event. It can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdz-uczi2de.
When in gear and vehicle is moving, reverse and drive, the vehicle will seize, causing loss of steering and speed. While this vehicles vin number is not recognized on the recall list, we have had several recall problems with the vehicle which dodge did except responsibility for by paying the repair cost. I want to document that 3 body shops including a certified dodge dealer cannot diagnose this vehicles seizing problem. This is the fourth time it is going into the shop for seizing while in gear.if someone is injured in this vehicle when it malfunctions i hold dodge jeep and chrysler fully labial for negligence and possible conspiracy of current knowledge of vehicles with faulty equipment and failure to document all such vehicles by leaving their vin numbers off the recall forms.

The 2007 dodge charger seized while in gear; loss of control and speed; locked steering wheel,no acceleration,while moving at 3mph in reverse once and while merging onto i-75 @ ~8mph two other times all within 5 weeks of each other but with no indicator warning dash lights illuminating.neither of the auto mechanics could find a problem.the vehicle hasn't seized up, but the vehicle's checkengine light and electronic throttle control indicator warning lights came on last week.the dodge charger manual says if the electronic throttle control light comes on, to discontinue use of the vehicle until an authorized dealer can evaluate the problem.july 7th 2014 the vehicle went to a certified dealer to be diagnosed. They said they couldn't find a reason for the lights being on.sure enough they ran me up a 900 dollar bill consisting of the following repairs:filter tr 21170001/sealer no 01081003/fluid atf 01081018/antifreeze 01081004/connector 09004009.

When she tried to accelerate the vehicle did not move or make a revving sound, the steering wheel was locked tight but hot air was continuing to blow from vents.no indicator lights were present before during or after the event. The vehicle hadn't physically acted up since the first 3 times 7 months ago, so we immediately called the dealer and she drove it directly there.
After filling up at a gas station, the car started stuttering and later on stalled at a red light in the city.

2007 dodge charger. Consumer writes in regards to reimbursement for repairs *tgwthe consumer stated when she returned to her vehicle, she was unable to get the gear out of park. The dealer replaced the shifter and cable.the consumer also stated the rear window was damaged due to a defective heating element in the defroster grid. It occurred when the window shattered on november 18, 2011. It was the second time she used the rear window defroster since purchasing the vehicle.the first use was in 2010. She has since realized during that first use, the heating element in the defroster grid malfunctioned through overheating which caused a brown spot on the rear window. The automatic rear window defroster timer failed to take effect causing complete drainage of the battery.
Driverside window mechanism causes scratches on window.manufacturer stated not a defect.vehicle has 36,000, out of warranty.vehicle is taken care of, not abused.chrysler should fix the problem.
Car was parked. Floor shifter would not come out of park, ignition key would not come out of ignition switch. Ac distribution housing broken,vehicle wheels bent from normal driving. Dealer said key, ignition switch, floor shifter, other associated parts need replacement.. Over $7000 repair, wheels not included.
I own a 2007 dodge charger se i bought brand new 8/7/2007 at 5,000 miles i noticed a squealing noise when i applied the brakes. I immediately went to the dealershipi was told that they could not hear any noise from the brakes and that maybe it was dirt getting in the brakes. Dealership said they cleaned the brakes and i should have no problems. The same day i still notice the same squealing noise when i applied the brakes. I took my car in for an oil change at 6,000 miles and also advised the dealership of the brake problem again. Service person said he would test drive to see if he could hear the noise and again he could not hear the noise. I went in for my 12,000 miles oil change dealership did an inspection of the car found nothing wrong with my brakes and still did not hear the noise. Now at 15,500 miles while driving at 10 mph i tried to make a left turn and discovered the wheellockedup and i could not move the wheel at all at first i thought the car had stalled but there was no lights came on the dashboard to indicate that so i stopped my car and put in park and turned it off and restarted it and the when released and i was able to turn the wheel again. Well 5 days later the same thing happened to me again this time i was driving 45 mph and was trying to make a right turn and as i was slowing down and attempting to make a right turn once again the wheel is locked up. I took the car to the dealership yesterday and i was advised after leaving my car there from 8am until 3:30 pm i was advised by the service person that they could not find the problem and i am terrified to drive this car. What happens if i am on the highway going 65 mph and need to turn suddenly and the wheel locks up i could be killed or hurt or hurt someone else on the road my car is still at the dealership for the service manager to see if he can see if the problem with the wheel will occur while he is driving.
I purchased a set of nexen roadian hp 102v tires in july 2015, size 265/35/22. I recently went to get my vehicle serviced when i was told that i needed new tires and was asked to come take a look. All 4 of my tires had cracked around the shoulder of the tires, and the cracking was on the opposite side of the tire that i have no vision of. This is a serious matter that i wouldn't have never known if i hadn't taken my vehicle in to be serviced. I have only put a little over 20,000 miles on these tires and the treading is great which doesn't show any signs of neglect. The place i purchased the tires from agreed that the tires are in great condition, & the tires had the correct pressure in the etc. They also said that i'm not the first person that has come in with the same issue with nexen roadian hp tires. They sent all of the paperwork in to the manufacturer and they are the worst. Bernardo was very rude and trying to put blame on the customer (me) when he was clearly told by the place i purchased the tires from which are the same one's that took pictures of the tires and did the inspection that they see absolutely no fault of mine and that the tires are just defective. So then i asked for the dot numbers, and what do we discover??? the manufacturing date was stamped 4715, how could this be if i purchased the tires in july 2015? there is something shady going on and nexen needs to be investigated, my car has been at mccarthy tire for 2 weeks and now that the dot issue has been discovered no one has an answer to why it's stamped for the 47th week of 2015, it's only 52 weeks in a year which means i would've had to by those tires in november 2015. The reviews i'm reading on nexen tires are exactly the same issue that i'm having, what is it going to take before a recall is done on nexen tires?

Shimmy at 73-80 mphvisable steering wheel shakes and shimmys at 73mphcar was at dealer for problem and the dealer rebalanced the wheels. No effect problem still exists.car was returned to another dealer and wheels were rotated. No effect problem still exists.several other owners have same problems with srt/8 models. Remidies have been replacing tie rod ends, wheel bearings, road force balance of wheels and replacement of steering rack. There needs to be a tsb for this problem.
My vehicle was released to me from carstar of macon with a knowingly inoperable tpms on all four of my tires. I was not told this before i paid and drove away. I got 5 minutes down the road and felt violent shaving in the steering wheel. I turned around and drove the vehicle back to carstar and waited about 20 minutes for them to tell me that they were aware that the tpms was inoperable. That they were aware that all four sensors were not working properly and that one had actually fallen out into the tire itself and was bouncing around in the wheel well knocking off the alignment of the vehicle. They gave me an option of fixing it or removing the sensors. I was told that they would try to contact my insurence company to see if they would pay for the damaged parts that were operating normally before they switched out the new tire wheels. Again they release the vehicle to me with an inoperable tpms system and advise meto drive over 60 mph.
Alloy wheels ( 17 inch ) with chrome center cap ( ram emblem ) are experiencing pitting and corrosion around center hub. This has eaten away the clear coat on the alloy wheels. Although this is not a safety concern at the moment, it reduces the vehicles value ( trade in ). Chrysler engineers need to redesign this so that corrosion does not take place. Same problem occurred to another owner's vehicle ( dodge intrepid 1993 ). Chrysler needs to make it right by refinishing alloy wheels.
While attempting to remove the wheels from my vehicle, i discovered that the factory tire tool would not fit on the stock lug nuts. The lug nuts are a two piece design, a steel nut with a sheet metal jacket covering it. The jacket has become warped and the tire tool will not fit. I contacted the local dealership and spoke with a mechanic. He stated it is a common problem. I then contacted the manufacturer. I was told that i had to take the vehicle in to the dealership and have it serviced before i filed a complaint. I realize this may not seem like a safety issue, i would not want my spouse or myself to be stranded along a highway or remote road because i was unable to change a flat tire due to a poor lug nut design.
