  CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AS IM DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 70MPH AND MY CAR GOES INTO "LIMP" MODE WHICH COULD OF CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. CYLINDER 5 MISFIRE IS THE DIAGNOSIS AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER. IT APPEARS TO BE A BAD LIFTER INSIDE OF THE HEAD IN WHICH CAUSED OVER 4K TO FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN WHICH THE ENGINE FAILED WHILE DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY INSIDE!!

  FILLED UP WITH GAS AND HAD A STRONG SMELL IN CAR AFTER CHECKING I FOUND OUT THAT THE GAS TANK WAS LEAKING AROUND THE FUEL PUMP SEAL HAD IT REPLACED AND STILL LEAKS IF YOU FILL ABOVE 3/4 TANK THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD DUE TO GAS LEAKING ON THE GROUND IF SOMEONE DROPPED A CIG. ON THE GROUND WHERE THE GAS IS IT COULD EXPLODE AND THE FUMES INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CANT BE GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH,I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE TO FIX .I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR 11/23/2015

• 12/31/2013· STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  I CURRENTLY OWN A 2011 DODGE CHARGER AND I GOT INTO MY CAR AND NOTICED THAT ALL OF THE LIGHTS WERE ON IN THE DASH BOARD FROM THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS, POWER STEERING SERVICE LIGHT WAS FLASHING, BRAKE LIGHTS I MEAN EVERY LIGHT WAS ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I PURCHASED THE CAR DECEMBER 2012 AND I REMEMBER THE DEALER SAYING THAT I HAD THE PREVIOUS OWNERS WARRANTY BUT TO FIND OUT I ONLY HAD THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO PAY $120.00 JUST FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. MY HUSBAND WAS FURIOUS AND TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER SHOP AND THEY STATED THAT THE CAR JUST NEEDED FUSES WHEN ALL OF THE FUSES WERE REPLACED ALL OF THE LIGHTS WENT OFF BUT THE POWER STEERING WENT ALL THE WAY OUT SO NOW I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR UNTIL I CAN GET THE MONEY TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE POWER STEERING IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING UP FOR 2 MONTHS NOW. A FAIRLY NEW CAR AND I AM HAVING THESE PROBLEMS THIS IS JUST CRAZY I CHECK THE DODGE WEBSITE FOR RECALLS AND I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. *TR

  MY DODGE CHARGER HAS ABOUT A 43,000 MILES AND I NOTICED A GASOLINE ODOR IN MY CAR, SO I STOPPED TO LOOK TO SEE IF GAS WAS LEAKING FOR MY CAR AND IT WAS LEAKING GAS COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. I HAD MY CARE TOWED TO MY NEAR BY MECHANIC SHOP AND THEY FOUND THAT THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM MY FUEL PUMP. I CALLED DODGE TO REPORT THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID, ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTY.

  DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT WENT OUT. TRIED REPLACING THE BULB, WHICH WAS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT THAN ANTICIPATED SO, DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DODGE DEALER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM. RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT THE BULB BUT WAS THE ENTIRE WIRING MECHANISM AND THE WIRES HAD "MELTED". I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL DODGE CUSTOMER FOR MANY YEAR, DESPITE MANY DIFFICULTIES WITH OTHER DODGE MODELS. MOST RECENT, THIS HEADLIGHT ISSUE, NOT COVERED UNDER ANY RECALL (EVEN AFTER READING ALL THESE COMPLAINTS) AND I AM OVER MY 36,000 MILE WARRANTY, I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN CHRYSLER! NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE COST OF THIS REPAIR, BUT NOW I WORRY THAT IF THE HEAT IS ENOUGH TO MELT THE WIRES, WHAT HAPPENS THE NEXT TIME I AM DRIVING AND THE WIRES ACTUALLY CATCH FIRE? GUESS CHRYSLER WILL ISSUE A RECALL ONCE SOMEONE IS SEVERELY INJURED OR WORSE CASE DEAD BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE! *TR

  I AM WONDERING IF I HAVE ANY FURTHER ACTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO ME FOR A RECALL SITUATION. MY CAR HAD A RECALL FOR THE TIMING CHAIN AND I HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED IN 2014. A FEW WEEKS AGO WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR IN A SNOW STORM THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED AND DESTROYED MY ENGINE. I HAD SECONDS TO NEGOTIATE MY LANE AND GET TO SAFETY WHICH I COULD NOT. THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE WAS STILL STICKING OUT OF THE RIGHT LANE. I WAS INFORMED BY THE STATE PATROL I CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BEHIND ME AND MY VEHICLE WAS ALSO ALMOST STRUCK BY A SEMI TRUCK. I DO NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE YEAR ROUND SO BETWEEN 2014 AND NOW THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 20,000 MILES PUT ON IT WITH THE NEW TIMING CHAIN. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY INFORMED ME THE NEW TIMING CHAIN HAD A WARRANTY OF ONLY 2 YEARS SO ALL SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY. I AM MAKING THE ASSUMPTION THE CORRECT CHAIN WAS NOT PUT ON MY VEHICLE DURING THE RECALL REPAIR OR WAS NEVER CHANGED AT ALL. THE VEHICLE HAD A TOTAL OF 54,000 MILES ON IT AND ACCORDING TO ALL THE FORUMS, THIS IS TYPICALLY WITHIN THE MILEAGE THE CHAIN FAILS AND UNDER THE EXACT CONDITIONS OF WHICH I WAS DRIVING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS NO EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SHOULD HAVE LED TO A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. NOW DODGE WANTS TO CHARGE ME $5,000 FOR THE ENGINE REPAIR WHICH WAS CAUSED FROM THE TIMING CHAIN THEY SUPPOSEDLY INSTALLED.

  RAW FUEL SMELL IN INTERIOR OF CAR, PART NUMBER 68159764AB PICKUP/LEVEL UNIT MODULE HAS CRACKING IN HOUSING CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK AND FUMES TO COME INTO CAR. THIS MODULE IS LOCATED UNDER THE REAR SEAT AREA OF THE CAR, AND HAS 2 PLASTIC BODY PLUGS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO SEAL OUT THE FUMES BUT THEY FIT LOOSE AND DON'T SEAL VERY WELL, CALLED ULTIMATE DODGE IN MOUNTAIN HOME ARKANSAS AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE COMPLAINT.

I TOLD THEM THAT IT IS LEAKING FUEL AND THAT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT REPAIR IT BECAUSE IT WASN'T UNDER THE RECALL. I LOOKED IT UP ON GOOGLE THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THAT SAY ITS COVERED. THIS VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL SO ITS AN EXPLOSIVE ISSUE AND A FIRE HAZARD. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I HAD TO PURCHASE THE PART AND HAVE IT REPAIRED FOR OFFICER AND PUBLIC SAFETY. THIS IS A PATROL CAR AND THE MANUFACTURES THAT BUILD THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THERE VEHICLES.

• 12/15/2016· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  ON JULY 11TH 2016 I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED AN OVERWHELMING SMELL OF GASOLINE. 5 DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CODE DETECTED A SMALL EVAP SYSTEM LEAK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SPORADICALLY ILLUMINATES AND THEN TURNS OFF ON ITS OWN. THE SMELL OF GASOLINE GOES AWAY WHEN THE TANK IS HALF FULL. WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, GASOLINE DRIPS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE. UPON RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET I DISCOVERED ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM THAT OVER 40 PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS SAME ISSUE. THE FUEL PUMP CONTINUES TO PUMP GAS ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THE GAS TANK LEAKS WHEN THE TANK IS OVER HALF WAY FULL. ACCORDING TO OTHER COMPLAINTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM CHRYSLER AND DODGE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS SAME PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES. DODGE AND CHRYSLER REFUSE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THEY REDESIGNED THE FUEL SYSTEM AFTER THE 2011 AND ALSO RECALLED THE HEMI MODEL FOR THE SAME ISSUE. CHRYSLER/DODGE HAS YET TO RECALL THE FUEL SYSTEM ON MY V6 MODEL. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR. CAN AN INVESTIGATION BE OPENED ON THIS ISSUE SINCE THERE IS 50 COMPLAINTS ONLINE THAT DATE ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2012? A GAS TANK SHOULDN'T NOT "WEAR-OUT" AND LEAK AFTER 5 YEARS.... DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE OR BECOME SEVERELY INJURED FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE? MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINED OF ALTERNATOR ISSUES, IT TOOK A FIRE TO OCCUR FOR CHRYSLER TO FINALLY RECALL THE ALTERNATOR ON THE DODGE CHARGERS. IT SEEMS THAT CHRYSLER DODGE IS JUST WAITING FOR A CATASTROPHIC EVENT TO OCCUR BEFORE THEY DECIDE TO RECALL THIS ISSUE...THATS WHAT IT TOOK FOR CHRYSLER TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR, EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS RECORDED! *TR

  FOR SEVERAL MONTHS WHEN FILLING GAS TANK UP I WOULD SMELL A STRONG GAS ODOR IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR. AFTER THE GAS LEVEL WOULD START TO GO DOWN THE ODER WOULD GO AWAY. WELL, THE LAST FEW DAYS THE ODOR GOT REALLY STRONG AND IT DIDN'T MATTER HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN THE TANK, IT MADE ME AND MY FAMILY REALLY NAUSEOUS, AND AFTER A FEW DAYS OF THIS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED SPUTTERING LIKE IT WANTED TO STAUL OUT. WELL FINALLY AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF THIS THE ODOR GOT SO STRONG THAT IT MADE ME VERY FATIGUED AND SICK, YOU CAN SMELL THE GAS IN MY CLOTHES AND MY EYES STARTED TO BURN. MY CARS ENGINE IS CLUMPING LIKE THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO GO OUT SO I PARKED IT AT HOME AND SHUT IT OFF. I'LL HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT.

MY WIFE CONTACTED CHRYSLER 1 800 853 1403 AND THEY TOLD HER THAT THE CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THE RECALL INVOLVED POLICE VERSIONS OF THE SAME CAR. THE SAME PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING IN CIVILIAN VERSIONS AS WELL. OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP IS PLEADING "IGNORANCE" AND WANTS TO CHARGE US TO REPAIR WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY AS DESIGN/ENGINEERING DEFECT.

I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND WAS ADVISED THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I NOTICED OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH ALMOST IDENTICAL ISSUES AS WHAT I EXPERIENCED WITH MY CAR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST BUT IT NEEDS TO BE. MY CAR BARELY HAS 50,000 MILES AND IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD.

  I DRIVE A 2011 DODGE CHARGER RT MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO LOSS POWER AND WHEN POWER IS LOST I HAVE NO POWER STREERING OR BRAKES. I WAS ADVISED MY VEHICLE HAS A ACTIVE RECALL T-36 IN WHICH THE PROBLEMS I'M HAVE ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF THE RECALL. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES AT CLASSIC DODGE IN DENTON TX. THE ONLY THING CLASSIC DODGE HAS DONE IS REPLACE THE BATTERY STATING WE HAD TO START THERE AND ADVISED ME FCA HAS NOT SENT OUT A FIX AND WONT UNTIL FEB 2018. I HAVE REPORTED TO CLASSIC DODGE IN DENTON AS WELL AS MY FCA CASE MANAGER MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO LOSS POWER AND HAS ALMOST RESULTED IN SEVERAL CRASHES AND FCA HAS FAILED TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND HAS STOPPED RETURNING MY PHONE CALLS. ON 12-05-17 I WAS INVOLVED IN A AUTOMOBLE CRASH IN THE CHARGER CAUSED BY THE LOSS IN POWER AND I RAN INTO A TREE CAUSING VEHICLE STRUCTUAL DAMAGE.

  FUEL PUMP (TOP) UNDER THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT DEVELOPS LEAKS AND SPILLS FUEL INTO AND EXPLOSIVE FUMES INTO THE PASSENGER AREA OF THE CAR. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON GOOGLE I'M FINDING THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2011 DODGE CHARGER. IF THIS IS SUCH A WIDESPREAD AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME UNDERSTAND WHY NHTSA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL? PROBLEM OCCURS AFTER A FILL UP. DISCOLORATION ON THE PUMP SHOWS THE EXTENT/VOLUME OF GASOLINE POURING OUT INTO THE INTERIOR FLOOR PAN.

  GOT PULLED OVER BY POLICE FOR HAVING RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT OUT. DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE WIRING HARNESS. SURE ENOUGH, WHEN I WIGGLED THE WIRE, THE LIGHT CAME ON, SO THE BULB IS GOOD BUT THE WIRING IS BAD. SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, DODGE SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THIS. *TR

  MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE WENT OUT OVER 5 TIMES THIS YEAR. I REPLACED THE LIGHT AT MY EXPENSE EVERY TIME. I TOOK MY CAR TO A CAR SHOP TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED ONLY TO FIND OUT THE BULB HARNESSES WERE BURNT UP. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE BURNT UP BULB HARNESSES REPLACED BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE REMEDY IS AND I WAS TOLD MY CAR COULD NOT BE FIXED WITH OUT PAYMENT. THEY STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS FOR A DIFFERENT CAR. MY VIN # ONLY SHOWED THE ABS/ESC, DOOR HANDLE, AND AIRBAG HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. FROM THE LOOK OF IT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. THE ISSUE OCCURRED DUE TO THE ABS/ESC SYSTEM WHICH WAS RECALLED. *TR
