  WHILE IM DRIVING ALL OF MY INDICATOR LIGHTS WILL FLASH, AND ALL OF THE GAUGES DROP TO ZERO REPEATEDLY. IT HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN, ESPECIALLY IN COLDER WEATHER. TOOK IT TO DODGE, THEY COULDNT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THERFORE IT STILL HASNT BEEN FIXED.

• 12/30/2024· ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  SERVICE BULLETIN # 14-002-14: Fuel tank "roll over" valve failed immediately after fill-up saturating the purge solenoid and dryer canister for the fuel vapor vent reburning system. This service bulletin described failure caused liquid fuel rather than vapor to be dumped into the intake manifold stalling the vehicle in traffic in unsafe conditions. The car was towed to Beamon Dodge at 1705 S. Church St., 37130 awaiting repair. Dodge customer service was contacted at 1-800-423-6343 where they stated that this VIN was not covered by the service bulletin. Quoted repair for the manufacture defect is $4,680.48. Clearly the vehicles covered by this service bulletin are incomplete. Complaints of this failure can be found on the internet through 2014 when this service bulletin was issued on April 22, 2014. Clearly Dodge corrected nothing in their manufacturing and NHTSA is not protecting all consumers.

  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. *JS

  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.

• 12/28/2013· ENGINE

  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. *TR

  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.
