• 12/26/2014· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  THE VEHICLE TENDS TO FAIL ELECTRICALLY WHEN DRIVING. ALL DASHBOARD INDICATOR LIGHTS GO ON, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES SEEM TO FAIL, LIGHTS GO OUT AND WIPERS STOP FUNCTIONING. I'VE BEEN CAUGHT IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND SUDDENLY WITHOUT LIGHTS, WIPERS, THE ABILITY TO CHECK MY SPEED DIRECTION ETC. I BELIEVE THERE'S AN OUTSTANDING RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS 14V-567 BUT ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER THE NEW PART HASN'T BEEN MADE YET AND ISN'T EXPECTED UNTIL MID-2015. THIS IS DANGEROUSLY UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

• 12/26/2012· ENGINE

  ON CHRISTMAS EVE, DECEMBER 24TH 2012 AT APPROXIMATELY 1:45 IN THE AFTERNOON I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 DODGE CHARGER ON A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD BANGING NOISE FROM MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AFTER I HEARD THE LOUD NOISE, MY 2008 DODGE CHARGER IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY INTERSECTION NEARLY CAUSING A CHAIN REACTION MULTICAR ACCIDENT. A LOCAL POLICE OFFER CAME TO THE SCENE AND HELPED DIRECT TRAFFIC UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PHYSICALLY PUSH MY CAR OUT OF HEAVY TRAFFIC. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO LOOK UNDER THE HOOD I NOTICED A LOT OF COOLANT POURING TO THE GROUND. I ALSO NOTICE THAT THERE WAS NO COOLANT IN THE COOLANT DEPARTMENT. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY WERE CLOSED DUE TO THE HOLIDAYS. LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO BRING MY 2008 DODGE CHARGER TO TIRE KINGDOM. THE MANAGER OF TIRE KINGDOM IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AND STATED THAT MY COOLING FAN BROKE OFF CAUSING THE BROKEN PIECES OF THE FAN TO FLY INTO MY RADIATOR WHICH CAUSED MY RADIATOR DAMAGE AND LEFT A HOLE IN MY RADIATOR. ADDITIONALLY I HAD TO PAY $571.36 TO REPAIR MY 2008 DODGE CHARGER AND THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS ON TOP OF THAT. I HAVE FULL RECEIPTS FOR THE REPAIRS AND I ALSO HAVE PICTURES OF THE BROKEN FAN AND DAMAGED RADIATOR. AFTER GOING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S WEBSITE WWW.NHTSA.GOV I DISCOVERED THAT DODGE HAD A TSBS OUT FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEREFORE, THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT MY FAULT WHAT SO EVER. *TR
