HAVE BURNT OIL SMELL AFTER ATTEMPTED REPAIRS. DEALER AND DODGE REP SAYS ALL IS NORMAL. WHY WAS ALL THESE REPAIRS ATTEMPTED TO FIX MY ENGINE NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S ALL NORMAL?

  I HAVE A 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER. I WAS DRIVING AND MADE A LEFT HAND TURN AND THEN MY ABS CAME ON AND NOW I CANT USE MY CRUSE CONTROL AND I CANT TURN THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF OR ON . CALL DODGE AND THEY ARE TELLING ME IT IS A CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE PRICE IS $589.00 AND THE LABOR WILL BE ABOUT $300.00. I THINK THAT'S IS A BAD PART TO PUT IN A CAR.

• 12/19/2025· STEERING

  Steering wheel locks up at while driving making it very hard to turn. The dealerships, wants $200/300 for a diagnostic fee and $3k to repair it. This has been reported for years now as you can se with the other complaints. Dealerships must be held accountable for such safety hazards. Thousands of these cars are on the road and millions of lives are in danger. You are our voice please speak up for the consumer. Thanks

• 12/18/2014· POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

  BRAND NEW CAR DELIVERED HAD A TICKING SOUND ONLY WHILE DRIVING AT APROX 1800 RPM'S AND ABOVE.. COMPLAINED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD "NORMAL" FOR NEW CAR UNTIL ENGINE BREAK-IN. WEEKS LATER STAR CASE [XXX] PERFORMED ON CAR TO REMOVE TABS LEFT ON LIFTERS AT ENGINE ASSEMBLY. TABS REMOVED, NO RELIEF FROM TICKING. CHRYSLER REP AUTHORIZED DEALER TO CHANGE REGULAR OIL TO SRT PENZOIL 0W40 FULL SYNTHETIC WITH COST BEING BILLED TO CHRYSLER FOR NEXT 5 YEARS. TICKING IS STILL HEARD INSIDE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. DEALER REFUSES TO SERVICE CAR FOR "TICKING" ENGINE. I WAS TOLD DODGE WOULD NOT PAY FOR THEIR TIME TO CHECK THE CAR. I TOOK CAR OUT OF STATE TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO WAS NOT ABLE TO REPAIR TICKING PER DODGE. THIS IS NOT THE HEMI TICK. SOME CUSTOMERS ARE GETTING THEIR CARS REPAIRED, OTHERS ARE BEING BRUSHED OFF AS "NORMAL". SOME HAVE HAD ENGINES REPLACED AND ANOTHER HAS HAD HIS VEHICLE REPLACED. IF THIS IS "NORMAL" WHY AREN'T ALL 5.7 ENGINES DOING THIS? THEY'RE NOT! IT IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING TO LISTEN TO THE TICKATICKATICKA CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING. IT IS EMBARRASSING TO HAVE PASSENGER'S HEAR THE TICKING. I HAVE GATHERED ABOUT 60 OTHER HEMI 5.7 OWNERS TOGETHER ALL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY WON'T CHRYSLER/DODGE FIX OUR CARS? AN EMAIL FROM CHRYSLER STATED " "TO REVIEW OF OUR RECORDS INDICATES THAT THE CONDITION IN QUESTION IS A FUNCTION OF YOUR VEHICLE'S DESIGN AND IS NOT A DEFECT IN MATERIALS, WORKMANSHIP, MANUFACTURING, OR FACTORY PREPARATION. THESE ARE THE ONLY TYPES OF DEFECTS COVERED UNDER THE NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTIES." WHAT THEY ARE TELLING ME IS THAT THEY KNEW THIS PROBLEM EXISTED AND IT'S A FUNCTION OF MY VEHICLE'S DESIGN? THERE IS NOTHING IN ANY DOCUMENTS I HAVE THAT STATE THIS CAR WILL TICK AS IT DOES. I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IF TICKING WAS PART OF THE CAR'S DESIGN. FIX IT CHRYSLER!!!!! *TR

  The Evaporative Canister was recalled for Dodge Challenger 2014 in 2021. The car was taken to the Chrysler Dodge Dealership and they confirmed the repair. November 2023 the engine light came on. Another mechanic completed a smoke test and determined the evaporative canister to be faulty. Both Chrysler Dodge Dealership and Chrysler Corporate office refused to remedy the issue, despite this being a recall. A faulty evaporative canister is a safety issue due to emitting additional pollution and adding to the green house effect.

  THE WINDOW HAS SMART GLASS. THERE IS A SENSOR IN THE DOOR WHICH ALLOWS THE WINDOW TO AUTOMATICALLY SLIDE UP OR DOWN ABOUT 1\4 OF AN INCH SO THE DOOR CLOSES COMPLETELY. ABOUT 4 DAYS AGO THE WINDOW BEGAN SLIDING UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS ACTING UP DUE TO AN OLD BATTERY SO I BOUGHT A NEW ONE BUT THE WINDOW STILL SLIDES UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN CONSTANTLY BUT ONLY WHEN THE CAR IS OFF.

INITIALLY I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE 3 OR 4 MONTHS WAIT FOR MY PLACE IN ON THE LIST. I BEGAN FOLLOWING UP WITH THE DEALERSHIP ON 9/22/2020 AT WHICH TIME I WAS TOLD TO CALL BACK IN 2 WEEKS AND THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO ORDER THE PART AND SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. ON 10/2/2020 I CALLED AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. ON 10/3/2020 I CALLED THE NUMBER ON THE REMINDER CARD THAT I RECEIVED ON 102/2020 AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE IN SHORT SUPPLY AND "IT'S A MESS". I AGREE, I DON'T THINK CHRYSLER IS TAKING THIS RECALL SERIOUSLY BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T TAKE 4 MONTHS, AND COUNTING, TO RESOLVE AN ISSUE.

  WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES WE NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR INSIDE AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. SUSPECTING THAT THE FUEL ODOR WAS RELATED TO THE UB4 RECALL FOR THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CANISTER WE TOOK TO VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER SHIP. THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND TO BE A CRACKED PLASTIC FITTING THAT CONNECTS THE FUEL FILL TUBE WITH THE FUEL TANK. THE REMEDY BEING REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK AT A COST OF OVER $2600. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED OR IN AN ACCIDENT SO, IT IS MY OPINION THAT THE FUEL TANK AND FILL TUBE ARE A POOR DESIGN AND COULD FAIL CAUSING EXTREME HARM. THE DEALERSHIP DID TAKE PHOTOS OF THE CRACKED PART BUT I DO NOT HAVE COPIES OF THEM. THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED AT CHAPMAN CHRYSLER JEEP, LOCATED AT 930 AUTO SHOW DRIVE, HENDERSON NV 89014.
