  I STARTED MY CAR BY THE FACTORY INSTALLED REMOTE STARTER AND WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT AND I HEARD A HIGH PITCHED HUM COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND THE 'BATTERY SAVER ON' LIGHT WAS ON. I STARTED TO DRIVE AND THE CAR WAS REALLY SLUGGISH ALMOST TO THE POINT IF I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IT WOULD SHUT DOWN. I DROVER THAT WAY FOR ABOUT 2 MILES AND DURING THAT TIME I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR BY USING THE PUSH BUTTON AND THE MESSAGE WAS GONE, BUT ONCE THE CAR WAS PUT INTO DRIVE THE BATTERY SAVER MESSAGE CAME ON AND BURNING SMELL WAS BACK. . I HAD THE CAR TOWED INTO THE ELGIN JEEP DODGE DEALERSHIP ON A FRIDAY NIGHT (ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER EVERYTHING HAPPENED) AND ON MONDAY I WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING SHOWED UP AND THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE ALTERNATOR BUT SINCE NO ERROR CODES SHOWED THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL (#T36/ NHTSA 17V-435) FOR THE ALTERNATOR. THEY TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD TAKE THE CAR BACK AND HOPE THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN AND WHEN THE PARTS COME IN FOR THE RECALL COME BACK AND GET IT FIX THEN. I DID CONTACT FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES (FCA) TO TRY AND GET IT TEMPORARY FIX BUT DUE TO THERE BEING NO ERROR CODES THEY WILL NOT FIX ANYTHING. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE FCA WILL NOT FIX ANYTHING UNTIL THE CAR STARTS ON FIRE. I DRIVE ABOUT 40 MILES A DAY ON AN EXPRESSWAY WHERE SPEEDS ARE ABOUT 60-70 MPH, I DON'T FEEL SAFE THAT THE ALTERNATOR WILL JUST GO AND THE CAR WILL STOP. I FEEL THAT SINCE THERE WAS A SIGN OF ISSUES THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE FIXED.

• 11/11/2021· ENGINE

  While driving on the interstate at a high rate of speed the MDS engaged and suddenly, the engine dies. I am unable to accelerate and have to coast across 3 lanes of traffic to reach the emergency lane. The timing chain tensioner and timing chain guides had broken into multiple pieces and the timing chain was also broken. The failure of the timing components resulted in warped values, bent push rods and catastrophic engine failure. This left me sitting in my car on the side of the interstate for several hours in the dark. There were no warning lamps or any problems with how the engine had operated before it suddenly died. All parts that have been removed from the car have been kept for inspection. There is a recall for the same OEM timing components failing and causing sudden engine failure for 2009-2012 Dodge Chargers. Dodge used the same timing tensioner, timing arm guide, and timing chains in Chargers built from 2009 to 2019. Why would the recall be extended to all years that used these parts. If they had recalled all the years those parts were used my car engine would not quit suddenly at 80mph and I have to coast across three lanes of traffic or sit in the emergency for hours waiting on a ride. .

  I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AROUND 2AM ON TUESDAY MORNING 10/22/2013. I WAS JUST COMING OUT OF A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND IT JUST TURNED BACK TO 55MPH. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD SOMETHING IN THE FRONT END AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE AND IT STARTED MOVING BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT ME MOVING IT. I LOST ALL CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE AND IT SHOT ME OVER TOWARDS THE RIGHT AND SLAMMED ME INTO THE GUARDRAIL. I CONTINUED TO TRY TO MOVE THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO GET THE CAR AWAY FROM THE GUARDRAIL BUT THE WHOLE CAR SLID UP AGAINST THE GUARDRAIL BEFORE I COULD REGAIN CONTROL AND MOVE THE CAR AWAY FROM THE GUARDRAIL. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT ON 10/10/2013. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE IT FOR TWO FULL WEEKS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. THERE IS ALMOST $12,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE DONE TO THE CAR. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER GROUP REGARDING THIS AND THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE BUT ACCORDING TO THEM THERE WAS TOO MUCH DAMAGE TO TELL EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED SO THEY AREN'T WILLING TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED AND SAFE DRIVER, SOMEONE WHO HAS DRIVEN TRACTOR TRAILER OVER THE ROAD FOR 5 YEARS AND IF YOU LOOK AT MY DRIVING RECORD IT WOULD MATCH UP WITH WHAT I AM SAYING. THERE WAS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THAT VEHICLE THAT NIGHT AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. THE FACT THAT MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT THIS CAR LESS THAN TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT AND CHRYSLER WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT IS VERY DISHEARTENING. AND I NOW HAVE TO KEEP DRIVING THIS SAME CAR AND WORRY EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR
