Read complaints for DODGE CHARGER (2016)
I have a 2016 dodge charger sxt. The cars door panels on all doors have began to peel back. This is causing the window framing to be exposed and causing the window to not be protected. This has become a national problem with these dodge chargers. There is no warranty out that can cover these issues. These are newer model cars that have defects that should be fixed. A recall needs to be put in place so that the people who are suffering from this issue can get it replaced with no cost or at a very low cost. Thank you for your time.
Was driving on the highway power steering unit fell out steering wheel locked up airbags deployed and could not step on the brake flu about a hundred feet in the air car is a total loss......updated 11/21/17
The door panels on both drivers door and front passenger door have completely separated from the door exposing airbags and electrical components for windows and locks.
When i recently tried to close my sun roof on my 2016 dodge charger rally, i wasnt able to do so. The car was on, i even called and did the system reboot with a rep but that didnt help, i tried turning the car off and back on, nothing worked.also, the black material has come undone on both the passenger and driver door which is leaving the indoor panel exposed and not sealing the windows on the inside of the car. The black material in the middle where the airbags are is also coming undone. Currently waiting on a call back from the dealership because all of this just happened.
The vehicle is indicating that the airbag system needs to be serviced.the car is 3 years old with 34k miles.there are recalls on the 2011-2015 dodge chargers for the airbag system and the dealership (stealership) is telling me that they the repair is not covered.
The seatbelt is clicked in the seatbelt light goes off and the the service airbag system light comes on.
Heather makes noises when blowingbolts are missing that holds the front grill or bumper
While in motion on the highway, my check engine light kept popping on and off. My vehicle started to feel like it was losing power whenever i began to accelerate. It does drive but it makes a very loud, unsettling noise when driving. It sounds very loud even when i am sitting in park. The vehicle is normally silent when sitting in park and driving. I am smelling something very unusual as well when driving. My car was sent to frisco chrysler dodge jeep ram in frisco, tx a few days after this happened and i was told that they were receiving a code p0430 which meant there are issues with my catalytic converter. I was told that over 800,000 vehicles in the dodge make had been recalled this year due to this same thing. I was told my car couldn't be repaired at the moment as they were unsure as to what actually needed to be fixed. I am a single mother and i am afraid that my car is going to quit on me any day. I am being told there is an active recall on dodge vehicles for this but my particular vehicle isn't part of the recall. How is that possible when it's the same thing?in april and july of this year while driving on the freeway, my car began to shake excessively. I pulled over to see if it would stop and it didn't so i slowly made my way over to freedom chrysler dodge jeep ram by ed morse in duncanville, tx where i was told that my ignition coils are failing and eventually all of them will fail as this is common is dodge vehicles. If this is a known common problem, why are these vehicles still being sold? why hasn't this been fixed? i have spent over $800 in repairs on this car and it's only a 2016. I did not expect to have problems this soon on such a new car.

Back up camera still shows rear view even after changing out of reverse. Also the door panel glue has failed as well as the glue on the panel around the gear control.
I was driving down the highway when my trunk flew open causing my car to come to a complete stop before i could get onto the shoulder and this scenerio almost caused me to get into a wreck. I had my children in the car and they were very scared!its ridiculous that it just shuts off before even giving a warning!
The battery keeps going dead without a transmission issue.
Car keeps cutting off when driving disabling traction control and sport control due to bad alternator this happened on the freeway and on surface streets and can cause an accident because you lose complete power from the car with no notice.
Loss of power steering, dash cluster lights flashing uncontrollably, dash cluster indicated engine rpm fluctuating wildly while in motion and while stationary and while turning.transmission or gear shifter made continuous or odd clicking while in motion and while stationary even after vehicle was place in park. Trouble turning the vehicle back on after above issues occurred had to power cycle vehicle several time for actual startup.could not shift out of park after power cycles and had to do several more power cycles.second time issues have occurred after already taking vehicle to dealership.dealership said it was because of low voltage and had not done any other work on vehicle other than reset code and put miles on vehicle.

The problems have been occurring approximately 1 yr
The contact owns a 2016 dodge charger. The contact stated that there was a feature on the vehicle that allowed him to position the driver's chair to certain settings from driver one to driver two. While the contact was attempting to enter the vehicle and engage this feature, his daughter placed her head in between the head rest and the rear window. Once the contact opened the door, the seat began to automatically adjust and the space between the vehicle and the head rest began to narrow. As the seat began to adjust, the seat began to choke her neck. The contact was able to get to the driver's side door and hit the memory seat button to cease the seat from adjusting. The contact's daughter was not seriously injured and did not need medical attention. The failure had not occurred since this incident. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000. The vin was unknown.

Car stalls while driving

One day when i was driving, i heard a really loud sound coming from my car that hurt my ears so i drove back home under 5 miles per hour because whatever was hitting under the hood of my car was way too loud. As i was parking in my spot at home, my car shut off completely. Couldn't even put it in park and said to check engine. I ended up having to get my car towed to lithia of dodge to look at it to see whats wrong because i couldnt even turn my car back on at all or do anything with it it was undriveable. I was told the driveshaft broke and slammed against the engine, transmission, anything basically connected to the driveshaft was damaged. They didn't total it out and told me to call my insurance but then they sent me elsewhere too and for 6 months i could not get anything worked out. Come to find out, there was a safety recall on 2016 dodge chargers for one of the reasons being the driveshaft not being tightened enough when made or something that it broke and could potentially lead to an accident that could cause injuries! i am lucky that i did not get in an accident or hurt because it happened when i was driving. It said that the recall was completed but of it was, it shouldnt have broke on my car. I stopped paying my loan and everything because no one was totalling it out or sending me to someone who could help so now my car is repossessed and says i still owe on it which i feel is wrong and i shouldnt have the repossession or be having to pay anything on it.

My wife bought me a 2016 dodge hellcat labor day weekend sale, this was a present 9/1/2018 i bought the lincoln 9/2/2018 she bought me the hellcat. When my wife went back to the dealership, they never took my wife out to test drive the car or gave her the car fax report or pointed out any defects. The dealer also told my wife that we were the second owners. I had to buy a carfax report to find out and argue with the dealership that i was the 3rd owner. My wife bought the hellcat 9/2/2018 and i had it back at the dealership 9/14/2018 for multiple issues 1. Rattling in the front every time drive over a bump 2. The vehicle would pull to the right. 3. A piece of paint on the back bumper where the trunk met the bumper had damage. 4. Tires where balled on the inside tire and less than 1/32 on the outside tire. All these issues were a fight and should've never been questioned, the dealership knew about these problems and i still had to fight, i ended up paying for 2 tires the dealership had my car for 49 days at the crown motors of redding. The only issues resolved was the tires and paint chip. Then 11/12/18 to 12/3/2018 the car was back in the shop a second time for the same problem at the dodge roseville auto mall to fix the rattling problems in the front. In between the dates from 11/12 ' 12/3 the dealership called me up and said my vehicle was ready. Myself and the service manager test drove it and discovered that the noise was still not fixed. 12/3/2018 we drove it again and the noise was finally fixed but the pulling to the right still appeared to still be happening. I was told that's common after a wheel alignment i wanted to disagree, but i had no more fight left in me especially after finding out about my wife's medical problems. I'm just disgusted with the whole situation especially with the owner of crown motors and i had a case with the bbb that i won.

After driving on a highway at normal highway speeds, i parked my car in a motel parking lot, got out, and noticed oil sprayed onto the passenger side front and back doors including part of the rear bumper, saw oil sprayed on the passenger front tire, and noticed a puddle of oil on the ground under the passenger front door . After checking the oil dipstick, it registered zero oil. No warning lights or sound alerted me that the oil level was low. I towed my car to the dealer and they found that an oil cooler hose ruptured and resulted in complete oil loss. It is still in the shop waiting for a replacement hose. This defective hose problem was found on 2017 charger models that could result in engine seizure or fire and they will be recalled in september 2018. Apparently some 2016 models have the same problem. I want to make sure the replacement hose the dealer ordered is a new type designed not to fail like the original equipment to avoid a potential disaster in the future while i'm driving the car.
I was driving on the highway. Pulled off highway into gas station and gassed up. When trying to start engine it made a heavy, thunking sound while trying to turn over. Got it towed to a garage where they said the engine dropped a valve and needed to be replaced. Then had it towed to another garage and got the same exact diagnosis - dropped a valve, cylinder destroyed, engine a total loss and needs to be replaced. The owner of the second garage said dropping a valve is a problem with the v8 2006 charger.
My car was parked on a hit and run on august of 2018. My car was parked on a flood march 2019, my car has repairs covered by the insurance of $19,000 and it's still in the shop. I honestly think that my vehicle is not safe for me to drive.

I purchased 2016 dodge charger one month ago from california auto direct in montclair.while signing the paperwork, we questioned a $1,000 dealer charge which they explained was for a thorough inspection before putting their car on the lot to sell (all lies).since i purchased the car on 3/7/20, the car has stalled on me while driving 3 times. I took the car to a "dodge" dealer and they fixed a recall, oil leak and replaced a missing caliper, old battery. After completing all the repairs, the car stalled on me again. Each time the steering and brakes locked up. The dealership found no codes as to why the car just stops while driving. This car is a safety hazard. I contacted dodge.com online chat and they told me to let the dealer try and work on it and use their resources. Unfortunately, they can't find anything. I read about recalls on other dodge chargers and challengers that had similar problems, unfortunately not m year... 2016.
After filling my charger up with premium fuel, it immediately stalls without warning while i am driving, i lose the power steering and i am unable restart it right away. It happens every time i fill up, and i have paid over $500 dollars to the dealership to trouble shoot it, and they do not have a clue. Very dangerous feeling. Someone will be killed from this issue, it comes at varying times.
I bought a car dodge charger 2016 srt from saudi arabia alkhobar umc (united motors company) dodge dealer show room i received the car on 23rd march 2016. All regular maintenance are done in umc center since then.- in april 2016:heard strange sound from the front wheels:first time i gave the car umc service center and they changed the right wheel bearingheard same sound again from front wheels the second day:second time i gave the car to umc service center and they changed the left wheel bearing in december 2016after 37000 km i started seeing the following:1- message in the dashboard "transmission temperature too high" 2- strange sound coming from the gearbox3- strange sound and vibration coming from the engine third time: i gave the car to umc service center and it stayed for three days then they said nothing is wrong with the car, so i asked them to have an engineer to test it, the engineer drove the car and speed up to 200 km/hr and he heard strange sound from the car and acknowledged the car problemforth time: i gave the car to umcservice center, they acknowledged the problems with gearbox and engine, and they kept the car now for almost one week.they informed me two days ago that they have to replace the gearbox and also they have to disassemble the engine and change the 16 hydraulic valves of the engine, due to my complaint they told me today that no gearbox repalcement will be donei am not accepting to buy top end car srt from dodge then i have all of these problems in the car.the dealer in saudi is refusing to do the above and refusing to help or support by even raising it to usa head quarters so i took the following actions:1- sent multiple emails to dodge fca group management2- contacted the usa customer service hot line to file a complaint 3- i filed a complaint in the saudi consumer product safety against umc
I was headed to work yesterday morning and before i got to work i heard a loud noice under the hood and smoke starting rolling out of under the hood. I pulled over to the closest intersection to get off highway and discovered oil all over the car and all under the car. I contacted my dealership that i just bought the car through (haven't even made the first payment) and they towed it back to the dealership. Further inspection they said the design of the car how it pulls air through the fender it sucked water up from driving down the highway and hydro locked the motor. I do zero first roads on my vehicles so it's definitely not right for this to happen driving down a highway and throw a rod through the motor. My extended warranty won't cover it nor will my insurance. It's a brand new car. I need help!!
Driving on highway, became nauseated and dizzy from fumes coming from a/c vents. Dealer found leaking heater core. Car was new with less than 100 miles. Noticed slight smell at purchases, salesman said it was just "new car smell". Car presently in dealers repair shop.
I only have three years with the car and the ac no longer works in the passenger side.
The led lights on the rear of the vehicle are very bright at night.due to the continuous bar with no breaks, it is difficult for others to judge distance and speed.this is very evident when driving in mixed traffic.vehicles with two separate lights are easier to judge distance and speed differences.this is a known problem with stereo vision limitations at night.
The harness on the car is defected and the engine light will not go off on the car.
My head light wont turn on dont know whats wrong
The front arm controls go out quickly. Went to a well known mechanic shop and was informed this is common and frequent in chargers and my headlights have blown. Every other charger i see, 2016 and above havevat least one headlight out or both.the headlight issue is too frequent for this to be just wear and tear on such a recent vehicle. The suspension wears out too quickly and is extremely expensive to have repaired.i owned a car for more than 5 years previously and the suspension did not show signs of wear until at least that 4th or maybe 5th year.these 2 issues i truly feel are a defect within this particular vehicle.
The contact own a 2016 dodge charger. The contact stated that while driving, the passenger's side front headlight bulb became inoperable. The contact drove to the residence with the failure. The following day the vehicle was restarted and the headlight operated as designed. The contact took the vehicle to san leandro chrysler dodge jeep ram (1444 marina blvd, san leandro, ca 94577) where the vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 23,000.
Driver seat will automatically move forward or back during the car actively moving. Moving all the way forward and extending back where unable to reach pedals. Extremely dangerous potentially causing and accident, with serious leg injuries. The emergency break will automatically occur with no vehicles/obstructions that would set off the alert, on the highway , potentially being rear ended. The problems have been occurring approximately 1 yr
Fuel leaks after fuel tank is filled parked or driving, strong fuel smell while driving, check engine light comes on. Inspected vehicles..(this is the 3rd 2016 charger in our fleet that has had this concern) found fuel pump cover plate has a hole burnt in it next to and aroundfuel pump electrical connector. I have included pictures of two fuel pump covers.. Note: vehicles had between 45,000-72,000 miles.

My gas pry just takes off and i can't stop it
I have been smelling a strong gas odor while driving on the road especially when the tank is full. Today while parked in my driveway i noticed a puddle of gas under the car too. The puddle was under the left rear seat. After some research i found a very common problem with these cars seems to be the fuel pump under the rear seat (where my 6 and 7 year old kids sit). I pulled up the rear seat and found the pump is leaking through the electrical connector and large amount of gas is pooled on top of the pump!! i used dozens of paper towels to soak it up and it just kept coming out. The electrical connector is also brown/burned near a couple of the probes indicating the gas is causing a short within the plug!! i unplugged the connector and found that the gas is actually spewing out from inside the connector on the pump, where the prongs are.researching online i see multiple of the same complaints that the plastic top of the pump cracks, and there is even a website that sells a metal cover to help protect the fuel pump cover! i see multiple people complaining about this very dangerous condition in chrysler vehicles and yet nothing is being done about it. The more research i'm doing online the more reports i am finding regarding fires occurring in minor collisions that should not end that way. Including a report of 4 passengers burned to death, and some vehicles that combusted after being parked. This is barely a 4 year old vehicle and no way should a fuel pump housing be brittle and cracked like this already. Photos are attached.

The wiring harness above the fuel pump became hot enough to melt a hole in the top of the fuel tank cover and allow fuel to escape out of the tank, under the back seat, through the electrical connection.the attached picture is the burn on the inside the of tank.dodge is aware of this enough that when they sell a new pump to replace they supply a new wiring harness which we think moves the ground.in additon on this car, which we will call 261, the filter on the passenger side was examined.a sensor connection in the side of the filter shows signs of heat. This is the sixth car this fuel pump pin hole melt has occured on, from 2012 to 2016 models.
After filling up the gas tank, the vehicle will stall for no apparent reason. It will restart but immediately stall again causing me to restart it again.it will do so 5 to 10 times before running normally again. It doesn't seem to matter at what speed but mostly at slower speeds. I have been caught in lanes on the freeway and it could lead to a very dangerous situation especially here in california. This car has been babied and has less than 25,000 miles on it.
As reported on at least 7 other cars, the electrical connection on top of the fuel pump heated up so much a hole was melted in the plastic allowing fuel to escape the tank and sit in a puddle under the back seat.the odor of gas was too strong to remain in the car.police patrol unit, natchez police, #260.this vehicle was serviced by the city barn 3/1 and no problem was detected.the problem became noticed over the weekend.the attached picture shows the heat scorching within the electrical connection and the invasive hole around the right most pin.
The wiring harness above the fuel pump became hot enough to melt a hole in the top of the fuel tank cover and allow fuel to escape out of the tank, under the back seat, through the electrical connection.this was reported to a dealer, 6/20/17, who replaced the wiring harness and fuel pump.this was the second of now 7 cars, this one being called unit 258.
Strong smell of raw fuel after car was delivered on march 4, 2016.there is a leak in the fuel system which has not yet been rectified by the dealership as of march 17, 2016.when the car is running, you can smell fuel (raw gas). It actually was coming in to the cabin via the fresh air vents on the dash.it's worse when the car is parked or at a stop light.i detected what i thought was a loose fuel line but dealership has not yet stated whether that is the problem.they replaced a fuel rail but fuel smell did not go away.this was a serious fire hazard.

The contact owns a 2016 dodge charger. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, there was a loud abnormal sound coming from the vehicle. The check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to brunswick auto mart (3031 center rd, brunswick, oh 44212), to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the driveshaft failed and made a hole in the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 18v281000 (power train). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,560.*dt*dt
This car has been nothing but problems and a nightmare.while driving around 30 and over the car jerks and shifts when i am coming to a stop and or pressing on gas to increase speed. I had some similar issues in 2019 and reported them to the dealership westherr orchard park.westherr claims it was issues with the drive shafts, gasket, engine oil filter adaptor housing, drivetrain control module and axles. Most of all of these repairs have been done by them and where not fixed correctly and with defective products and parts.
The entire driveshaft of the vehicle become extremely loose. The entire driveshaft had to be replacedas it was completely unsafe to drive with the shaft being as loose as it was. I was informed if the driveshaft separated while driving at highway speeds, it could very likely lead to loss of control and be fatal.

The interior door panels are warping. I have replaced one and need to do the other. The trunk lid had no gap between the bottom of the lid and rear end, so there was a constant vibration causing the paint to flake away.if i step on the accelerator too hard, the engines rpm shoots up but the engine gets no power and the remains either at a stand still or will coast until the issue passes.
2016 dodge hellcat front struts replaced in may 18 2018 now the struts are having the same problem car isn't driving straight and struts are on back order since sep 22 until now. Bought the car 9/2/18 and the redding dealership used car manager dave birch and the owner steve roberts have been unprofessional in talking to me. When i asked about the status on my car and is this a normal situation and standard procedure after buying not one but two cars and taking a car in for repairs not having the car with less than 7016 miles and after repairing a scratch on the back bumper and having to replace the tires which should've been replaced before putting the car on the lot, because the sales agent and used car manager had to test the depth of the tires which they shouldn't had to check if they would've just replaced the tires in the beginning all this could've been avoided now there's a crack in the windshield when the care was purchased windshield, the owner and used car manager actually asked '' what else do you want from us david what else do you want us to do for you '' after i asked is this a normal situation and procedure. Well after the used car manager was rude and unprofessional to me i was rude to him and then when i asked to speak to him he was not taking my calls anymore and letting all my messages go to voicemail so when the manager decided to do that that's when i talked to the owner steve he started acting the same way they didn't want to talk to me and switched me to guy the service part manager. If this is how dodge dealerships operate then i'll never recommend anyone from buying a car from any dodge dealership or any dodge vehicle for that matter i don't work due to the redding wildfires burning down my house and business which i owned a party bus company and will pursue this to the very end luckily for me this is a small town & the people of redding
Vehicle has been in multiple times for service on powertrain, transmission downshifts hard when slowing down when cruising at 40+, (vehicle will jerk hard at 10 mph and bang around 10 mph) serv awd system periodically comes on and car will loose power without warning and will need to be shut off and turned back on to beable to drive again and awd light will no longer be on. This has happend twice on city streets and once on the highway at highway speeds .also the car has multiple times in the past owen put into park and will roll away and say service transmission set parking brake and if you don't set parking brake and take your foot off the brake the car will stall, dealer replaced transmission manual service switch and the car has done it 2 times since. The vehicle has been to the dealer multiple times with no 'fix' in sight dodge customer care has been notified of the issue and there is a case open, however the vehicle still has serious safety powertrain issues with no remedy in sight, dealer says car bangs because the transmission is 'stuck in a sweet spot' but they don't have an answer for the service awd light
As i was conducting maintenance on my vehicle, i had seen that my vehicle's drive shaft is not stable and when i moved it, the shaft was able to move freely, and the center support bearing was worn down completely and this is the reason why my vehicle is not functioning the way it should.

One day when i was driving, i heard a really loud sound coming from my car that hurt my ears so i drove back home under 5 miles per hour because whatever was hitting under the hood of my car was way too loud. As i was parking in my spot at home, my car shut off completely. Couldn't even put it in park and said to check engine. I ended up having to get my car towed to lithia of dodge to look at it to see whats wrong because i couldnt even turn my car back on at all or do anything with it it was undriveable. I was told the driveshaft broke and slammed against the engine, transmission, anything basically connected to the driveshaft was damaged. They didn't total it out and told me to call my insurance but then they sent me elsewhere too and for 6 months i could not get anything worked out. Come to find out, there was a safety recall on 2016 dodge chargers for one of the reasons being the driveshaft not being tightened enough when made or something that it broke and could potentially lead to an accident that could cause injuries! i am lucky that i did not get in an accident or hurt because it happened when i was driving. It said that the recall was completed but of it was, it shouldnt have broke on my car. I stopped paying my loan and everything because no one was totalling it out or sending me to someone who could help so now my car is repossessed and says i still owe on it which i feel is wrong and i shouldnt have the repossession or be having to pay anything on it.

Each time the steering and brakes locked up. The dealership found no codes as to why the car just stops while driving. This car is a safety hazard. I contacted dodge.com online chat and they told me to let the dealer try and work on it and use their resources. Unfortunately, they can't find anything.

My wife bought me a 2016 dodge hellcat labor day weekend sale, this was a present 9/1/2018 i bought the lincoln 9/2/2018 she bought me the hellcat. When my wife went back to the dealership, they never took my wife out to test drive the car or gave her the car fax report or pointed out any defects. The dealer also told my wife that we were the second owners. I had to buy a carfax report to find out and argue with the dealership that i was the 3rd owner. My wife bought the hellcat 9/2/2018 and i had it back at the dealership 9/14/2018 for multiple issues 1. Rattling in the front every time drive over a bump 2. The vehicle would pull to the right. 3. A piece of paint on the back bumper where the trunk met the bumper had damage. 4. Tires where balled on the inside tire and less than 1/32 on the outside tire. All these issues were a fight and should've never been questioned, the dealership knew about these problems and i still had to fight, i ended up paying for 2 tires the dealership had my car for 49 days at the crown motors of redding. The only issues resolved was the tires and paint chip. Then 11/12/18 to 12/3/2018 the car was back in the shop a second time for the same problem at the dodge roseville auto mall to fix the rattling problems in the front. In between the dates from 11/12 ' 12/3 the dealership called me up and said my vehicle was ready. Myself and the service manager test drove it and discovered that the noise was still not fixed. 12/3/2018 we drove it again and the noise was finally fixed but the pulling to the right still appeared to still be happening. I was told that's common after a wheel alignment i wanted to disagree, but i had no more fight left in me especially after finding out about my wife's medical problems. I'm just disgusted with the whole situation especially with the owner of crown motors and i had a case with the bbb that i won.

While driving on dirt road at about 15 or 20 mph, i was steering straight in the intended direction, without any swaying, fishtailing, the vehicle accelerated and veered left thus, coming to rest in a drain ditch....updated 10/11/17 updated 10/18/17 updated 7/24/18
Motor mount blows out due to it being filled with hydraulic fluid causing issues with steering and braking. This happened while driving the car causing it to move around while driving any speed was on the freeway when it happened.
My power steering will randomly shut off. It happens intermittently. It makes it very easy to lose control. I have to pull over, turn off my car, wait 10-30 seconds, turn on my car, and hope it doesn't do it again.
While driving steering column became very tight almost impossible to turn with an indicator stating power steering assist off. Service system. I was driving on a city street.
2016 dodge hellcat front struts replaced in may 18 2018 now the struts are having the same problem car isn't driving straight and struts are on back order since sep 22 until now. Bought the car 9/2/18 and the redding dealership used car manager dave birch and the owner steve roberts have been unprofessional in talking to me. When i asked about the status on my car and is this a normal situation and standard procedure after buying not one but two cars and taking a car in for repairs not having the car with less than 7016 miles and after repairing a scratch on the back bumper and having to replace the tires which should've been replaced before putting the car on the lot, because the sales agent and used car manager had to test the depth of the tires which they shouldn't had to check if they would've just replaced the tires in the beginning all this could've been avoided now there's a crack in the windshield when the care was purchased windshield, the owner and used car manager actually asked '' what else do you want from us david what else do you want us to do for you '' after i asked is this a normal situation and procedure. Well after the used car manager was rude and unprofessional to me i was rude to him and then when i asked to speak to him he was not taking my calls anymore and letting all my messages go to voicemail so when the manager decided to do that that's when i talked to the owner steve he started acting the same way they didn't want to talk to me and switched me to guy the service part manager. If this is how dodge dealerships operate then i'll never recommend anyone from buying a car from any dodge dealership or any dodge vehicle for that matter i don't work due to the redding wildfires burning down my house and business which i owned a party bus company and will pursue this to the very end luckily for me this is a small town & the people of redding

Door panel is separating from the door and window on the passenger side

The vehicle was kept parked in a 2 car residential garage. The driver's side interior door panel began to peel up. The panel is breaking away from the door making window use, theft safety and closing the door hazardous.
In a couple year span of dodge chargers, the panels on the doors separate from the plastic underneath causing it to lift up where the window goes into the door. On mine specifically it's the drivers side panel and the front passenger side panel. I have seen pictures on forums for dodge chargers where it's all of the doors with this issue. This is caused by no fault of the owner but clearly somewhere in the manufacturing of the vehicle either parts or materials weren't made properly. The cost to fix this on my own is around $700 per door panel, so $1,400 for both.
I have a 2016 dodge charger sxt. The cars door panels on all doors have began to peel back. This is causing the window framing to be exposed and causing the window to not be protected. This has become a national problem with these dodge chargers. There is no warranty out that can cover these issues. These are newer model cars that have defects that should be fixed. A recall needs to be put in place so that the people who are suffering from this issue can get it replaced with no cost or at a very low cost. Thank you for your time.

One day when i was driving, i heard a really loud sound coming from my car that hurt my ears so i drove back home under 5 miles per hour because whatever was hitting under the hood of my car was way too loud. As i was parking in my spot at home, my car shut off completely. Couldn't even put it in park and said to check engine. I ended up having to get my car towed to lithia of dodge to look at it to see whats wrong because i couldnt even turn my car back on at all or do anything with it it was undriveable. I was told the driveshaft broke and slammed against the engine, transmission, anything basically connected to the driveshaft was damaged. They didn't total it out and told me to call my insurance but then they sent me elsewhere too and for 6 months i could not get anything worked out. Come to find out, there was a safety recall on 2016 dodge chargers for one of the reasons being the driveshaft not being tightened enough when made or something that it broke and could potentially lead to an accident that could cause injuries! i am lucky that i did not get in an accident or hurt because it happened when i was driving. It said that the recall was completed but of it was, it shouldnt have broke on my car. I stopped paying my loan and everything because no one was totalling it out or sending me to someone who could help so now my car is repossessed and says i still owe on it which i feel is wrong and i shouldnt have the repossession or be having to pay anything on it.
While driving on dirt road at about 15 or 20 mph, i was steering straight in the intended direction, without any swaying, fishtailing, the vehicle accelerated and veered left thus, coming to rest in a drain ditch....updated 10/11/17 updated 10/18/17 updated 7/24/18
My wife bought me a 2016 dodge hellcat labor day weekend sale, this was a present 9/1/2018 i bought the lincoln 9/2/2018 she bought me the hellcat. When my wife went back to the dealership, they never took my wife out to test drive the car or gave her the car fax report or pointed out any defects. The dealer also told my wife that we were the second owners. I had to buy a carfax report to find out and argue with the dealership that i was the 3rd owner. My wife bought the hellcat 9/2/2018 and i had it back at the dealership 9/14/2018 for multiple issues 1. Rattling in the front every time drive over a bump 2. The vehicle would pull to the right. 3. A piece of paint on the back bumper where the trunk met the bumper had damage. 4. Tires where balled on the inside tire and less than 1/32 on the outside tire. All these issues were a fight and should've never been questioned, the dealership knew about these problems and i still had to fight, i ended up paying for 2 tires the dealership had my car for 49 days at the crown motors of redding. The only issues resolved was the tires and paint chip. Then 11/12/18 to 12/3/2018 the car was back in the shop a second time for the same problem at the dodge roseville auto mall to fix the rattling problems in the front. In between the dates from 11/12 ' 12/3 the dealership called me up and said my vehicle was ready. Myself and the service manager test drove it and discovered that the noise was still not fixed. 12/3/2018 we drove it again and the noise was finally fixed but the pulling to the right still appeared to still be happening. I was told that's common after a wheel alignment i wanted to disagree, but i had no more fight left in me especially after finding out about my wife's medical problems. I'm just disgusted with the whole situation especially with the owner of crown motors and i had a case with the bbb that i won.
2016 dodge hellcat front struts replaced in may 18 2018 now the struts are having the same problem car isn't driving straight and struts are on back order since sep 22 until now. Bought the car 9/2/18 and the redding dealership used car manager dave birch and the owner steve roberts have been unprofessional in talking to me. When i asked about the status on my car and is this a normal situation and standard procedure after buying not one but two cars and taking a car in for repairs not having the car with less than 7016 miles and after repairing a scratch on the back bumper and having to replace the tires which should've been replaced before putting the car on the lot, because the sales agent and used car manager had to test the depth of the tires which they shouldn't had to check if they would've just replaced the tires in the beginning all this could've been avoided now there's a crack in the windshield when the care was purchased windshield, the owner and used car manager actually asked '' what else do you want from us david what else do you want us to do for you '' after i asked is this a normal situation and procedure. Well after the used car manager was rude and unprofessional to me i was rude to him and then when i asked to speak to him he was not taking my calls anymore and letting all my messages go to voicemail so when the manager decided to do that that's when i talked to the owner steve he started acting the same way they didn't want to talk to me and switched me to guy the service part manager. If this is how dodge dealerships operate then i'll never recommend anyone from buying a car from any dodge dealership or any dodge vehicle for that matter i don't work due to the redding wildfires burning down my house and business which i owned a party bus company and will pursue this to the very end luckily for me this is a small town & the people of redding
The front arm controls go out quickly. Went to a well known mechanic shop and was informed this is common and frequent in chargers and my headlights have blown. Every other charger i see, 2016 and above havevat least one headlight out or both.the headlight issue is too frequent for this to be just wear and tear on such a recent vehicle. The suspension wears out too quickly and is extremely expensive to have repaired.i owned a car for more than 5 years previously and the suspension did not show signs of wear until at least that 4th or maybe 5th year.these 2 issues i truly feel are a defect within this particular vehicle.
Motor mount blows out due to it being filled with hydraulic fluid causing issues with steering and braking. This happened while driving the car causing it to move around while driving any speed was on the freeway when it happened.
I bought the car 2 1/2 years ago. My driver and passenger doors were fine and weren't warped. A 1,000 miles after my door panels and my center consel under dash is warped also. Dodge dealership won't fix the issue as i'm out of my basic warranty even though this is a manufacturer defect. I called dodge headquarters and they won't fix the issue either without paying a $1000 or so per door panel. I'm very upset about this. Apparently from reading online it's a known issue for chargers between 2014-2016 i think. Per dealership they said at the beginning of 2019 dodge is coming out with version 2 door panels but will need to by them
My door panels on both driver and passenger side are swollen causing the panels to rise over the door lock making it impossible to pull the door lock up to unlock the car in case of an emergency
I had to replace my starter that went out 12/24/17, my car was in my driveway. I used fred martin to do the repair. Summer of june 2019, my car was in my driveway. I had to replace the starter again. I bought the stareterfrom auto zone, a starter for a 2016 dodge charger r/t. Upon replacing the starter with the new starter we realized that it would not fit and there was another starter on the vehicle that was not a r/t starter (which fred martin had put on). This past sunday (3/15/20), my starter has went out once again, in my parking lot, something isn't right for a starter to keep going out without any clue. Please help me in any way possible.
I only have three years with the car and the ac no longer works in the passenger side.
The vehicle was kept parked in a 2 car residential garage. The driver's side interior door panel began to peel up. The panel is breaking away from the door making window use, theft safety and closing the door hazardous.
The drivers side heating vent blows cold air.the cold air completely fogged over the drivers side windshield so you can't see out.had to bend over and look out the passenger side.dodge has had this problem far too long, involving all models, and needs to make a fix.very dangerous while driving down the road.
I was headed to work yesterday morning and before i got to work i heard a loud noice under the hood and smoke starting rolling out of under the hood. I pulled over to the closest intersection to get off highway and discovered oil all over the car and all under the car. I contacted my dealership that i just bought the car through (haven't even made the first payment) and they towed it back to the dealership. Further inspection they said the design of the car how it pulls air through the fender it sucked water up from driving down the highway and hydro locked the motor. I do zero first roads on my vehicles so it's definitely not right for this to happen driving down a highway and throw a rod through the motor. My extended warranty won't cover it nor will my insurance. It's a brand new car. I need help!!
Driver and passenger door panel near the top by the windows is blowing off the door frame. The black material has come undone which is leaving the indoor panel is exposed and not ceil driver and passenger door panel near the top by the windows is blowing off the door frame. The black material has come undone which is leaving the indoor panel exposed and not sealing the windows on the inside of the car
The door panels are coming off. It looks ugly. The integrity of the panels is lifting apart from side of the doors. Car gets used this is occurring because of the heat.
Back up camera still shows rear view even after changing out of reverse. Also the door panel glue has failed as well as the glue on the panel around the gear control.
This car has been nothing but problems and a nightmare.while driving around 30 and over the car jerks and shifts when i am coming to a stop and or pressing on gas to increase speed. I had some similar issues in 2019 and reported them to the dealership westherr orchard park.westherr claims it was issues with the drive shafts, gasket, engine oil filter adaptor housing, drivetrain control module and axles. Most of all of these repairs have been done by them and where not fixed correctly and with defective products and parts.
Burnt plastic and chemical smell, exhaust fumes in cabin causing migraine, vomiting,dizziness in fact caused skin to turn grey. Dealership was no help so we contacted dodge corporate and service appointment was made after 2 weeks and dodge having an internal investigation of vehicle we were informed that the 2016 dodge charger rally edition is unsafe and was placed for buyback.we only had possession for 14 days. The dealership tho is refusing to do the buyback even though thy have 100% possession and control.
The door panels on both drivers door and front passenger door have completely separated from the door exposing airbags and electrical components for windows and locks.
While in motion on the highway, my check engine light kept popping on and off. My vehicle started to feel like it was losing power whenever i began to accelerate. It does drive but it makes a very loud, unsettling noise when driving. It sounds very loud even when i am sitting in park. The vehicle is normally silent when sitting in park and driving. I am smelling something very unusual as well when driving. My car was sent to frisco chrysler dodge jeep ram in frisco, tx a few days after this happened and i was told that they were receiving a code p0430 which meant there are issues with my catalytic converter. I was told that over 800,000 vehicles in the dodge make had been recalled this year due to this same thing. I was told my car couldn't be repaired at the moment as they were unsure as to what actually needed to be fixed. I am a single mother and i am afraid that my car is going to quit on me any day. I am being told there is an active recall on dodge vehicles for this but my particular vehicle isn't part of the recall. How is that possible when it's the same thing?in april and july of this year while driving on the freeway, my car began to shake excessively. I pulled over to see if it would stop and it didn't so i slowly made my way over to freedom chrysler dodge jeep ram by ed morse in duncanville, tx where i was told that my ignition coils are failing and eventually all of them will fail as this is common is dodge vehicles. If this is a known common problem, why are these vehicles still being sold? why hasn't this been fixed? i have spent over $800 in repairs on this car and it's only a 2016. I did not expect to have problems this soon on such a new car.
Both door panels are coming off still have warranty for 500 miles left 35658
Door panels are peeling up where the top part of the door panel and the window meet.i already had panels replaced by dealer when the car was still under warranty.the replacement panels are starting to fail as well.it is a common problem with these cars as documented by car forums.see the following: https://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/charger/2016/accessories-interior/door_panels_are_warping.shtml
Car starting to make a strange rattling noise - took it to shop was told drive shaft is coming apart car only has 74,000 miles.was also told rear shocks are bad, rear brakes pads are very low and rear stablizer bar (suspension components) have rotted out bushings.a year ago the car doors started to fall apart both driver and passenger doors.
Door panel are peeling on all doors or lifting up along the windows
I had my cruise set to 57, all was fine until i started down a small hill, my car sped up to 75, i could not get cruise to turn off with the buttons or break,, i panicked , and slammed my brakes,and it finally stoped.
Last year i had the driver side door panel warp, separating up next to the window. It was under regular warranty so the dealer took care of it. Yesterday 8/15/19 the passenger door did the same thing and separated at the window. Doing research on this, i have found many people with dodge chargers, chrysler 300, that are having this same exact issue. I am now at 40500 miles and most likely dodge will not take care of this even under the extended warranty, which means a $1000 repair. With as many people i have seen while researching, this is an absolute material and workmanship defect which could effect safety, especially if the warping occurs around the door lock and someone needs to escape during an emergency situation.
Not sure of how to report, but own a 2016 charger. My panels are coming off of doors. Of course no longer under warranty,but dodge will not fix. This is my third charger and i've never had this problem before. Very disappointing. This clearly is due to bad workmanship. Nothing i could have done to prevent this!!!dodge should be responsible fir their shabby workmanship!!!!!
4/6/2018 while driving on interstate 44 driving at 65 mph traveling east toward st louis mo our sunroof exploded.sounded like a blown tire.the sunshade was closed and most of the glass blew outward.very little glass was left. There was no reason for the sunroof to explode.unknown reason.we were not driving under an overpass.it just exploded. We were lucky to have the sunshade closed and lucky that the flying glass did not hurt or hit the cars behind us.i keep my cool during problems.i just slowed down and pulled over about a mile later.however, i could see how it might startle some people into an accident. The car was 18 months old with 27,xxx miles. I baby my charger srt and again, there was no reason.it is the car company's stand that there is no warranty on glass.our insurance is paying for it, but we are out the deductible of $250. And, when i started this report i had to click on the area such as tires, engine ect. There is not an icon that says sunroof. I had to click "other". You need an icon for sunroof... I do have pictures. It is just a sunroof with a little glass around the edge still attached.
Takata recall my driver side door won't open the door. It unlocks and lock but i can't use the handle to open the door. I have to have someone from the inside en the door.

When returning from a trip to upper michigan my windshield was dirty so i pressed the windshield washer button and nothing happened so i pressed it again with the same results, so we continued on. We we on a 6 lane highway with the cruise control set at 72 mph. When approaching our exit i needed to getaround 2 semis so i stepped on the gas and the rpm gauge went to 5000 rpm and the speed suddenly dropped down to about 60 mph, i tried it again and it did the same thing. When i finally got safely off the highway i went directly to my dealer who told me there was nothing they could do for me for the next week.we went to our home not knowing what was going to happennext. The following day we needed to run some errands around town and the car ran perfect and has ever since.

Very decreased visibility in windshield when sun hits it.looks like micro shatters in the windshield.unable to get to it, like the "millions of sparkles" are inside the glass. Unable to make out anything in front of the car except big shapes (car, truck, etc).this happens whenever the sun is in front of you, morning and evening commute is when it happens to me every day.the car can be in motion or sitting still, wherever you are.
I driven my car and parked it for a few hours and when i returned the tire indicator said the tire was at 0. Passenger side front tire reads 0 tire pressure even when the tire is inflated at or above 32 psi. It continues to read tire pressure low inflate to 32 psi.
I notice when i'm on the interstate or drive at speeds past 55 miles an hour when i press thenbrakes to slow down or stop the car begins to shake. It does that sometimes and sometimes it doesn't.
