• 12/25/2023· FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

  adaptive cruise and forward collision warning failed regularly for 10 months. dealers worked to find issue after having car in shop for collectively about 3 months. Dealer replaced parts, and finally determined it was a 4G adapter sold by Uconnect- a part of Dodge parent corp. Mopar tech's were aware of it, yet to my knowledge they still sell the 4G service. Use of the adapter with remote start disables FCW and ACC. I have pictures and documentation. They should stop selling this or fix software.

  "Turn signal indicator lamp out" shows frequently on the dash display. It will remain on for 3-10 seconds and go off. Upon inspection, ALL EXTERIOR LAMPS function perfectly fine. Even when turn indicator on the dash blinks rapidly, the exterior lamps blink normally. It also dings when the indicator comes on. This just started about six weeks ago. This issue tells the driver that a lamp is out, when in reality it is not. It is very frustrating, as it may occur as often as every five minutes. I have talked to three independent repair shops, as well as three Dodge dealerships. I received basically the same response from all three dealerships, "We have no idea what may be causing this, but leave it with us for a day, and we will investigate. At $182 per labor hour. And we may not find the problem." I would have happily have paid for an hour or so of tracing, but a day?

WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND PULLED OUT ON TO THE MAIN ROAD I COULD NOT GO OVER 4 MILES AN HOUR. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED SINCE THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE ROAD WAS 40 MPH. I WAS TOLD THE SENSORS WERE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I LIMPED THE CAR BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THE CAR OUT OF THAT MODE UNTIL THEY REPLACED THE SENSORS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 7200 MILES ON IT.

  THE RIGHT SHIFTER PADDLE ON THE STEERING WHEEL WILL INTERMITTENTLY DOWNSHIFT SEVERAL GEARS INSTEAD OF UPSHIFTING WHEN THE PADDLE IS PRESSED. THE SYSTEM WILL ALSO DOWNSHIFT UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN THE RIGHT PADDLE SHIFTER IS HELD DOWN TO CHANGE OVER TO THE AUTOMATIC DRIVE SYSTEM. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE I STARTED USING THE PADDLE SHIFTERS AROUND 30,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE UNEXPECTED DOWNSHIFTING CONSISTENTLY SLAMS THE VEHICLE TO ALMOST A STOP, ABRUPTLY FORCING ANY OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE INTO THE SEATBELTS. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OCCASIONS WHERE VEHICLES HAVE ALMOST HIT MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE CAR SHIFTS DOWN SEVERAL GEARS AT ONCE AND SLOWS SUDDENLY WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO SLID IN WET CONDITIONS WHEN IT HAS OCCURRED. DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO OPERATE THE PADDLE SHIFTERS AT HIGH SPEED IN FEAR OF MY OWN SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. IF THE VEHICLE WAS TO DOWNSHIFT SEVERAL GEARS AT SPEED IN WET CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD LIKELY SLIDE OUT OF CONTROL. ADDITIONALLY, THE HARD SHIFTING IS LIKELY CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE TRANSMISSION, DRIVE COMPONENTS AND TIRES. THE VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THIS ISSUE 8 TIMES WITH NO PERMANENT FIX. THERE ARE MANY ARTICLES AND FORUM REPORTS ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE WITH DODGE CHALLENGER VEHICLES, BUT DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FORUMS AND CLAIMS THEY ONLY ADDRESS ISSUES SEPARATELY WITH EACH CUSTOMER. THIS ISSUE HAS LEFT ME WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR MONTHS AT A TIME AND IS A CONSTANT SAFETY HAZARD IF THE PADDLE SHIFTERS ARE OPERATED. THIS ISSUE IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD TO THE OCCUPANTS AND OTHER DRIVERS SINCE DOWNSHIFTING 2-3 GEARS AT ONCE CAN BE THE SAME AS SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES, ESPECIALLY IN WET CONDITIONS.

  I purchased my vehicle new as a 2015. The HVAC blower motor has gone out so quickly and is rattling. It has been about two days when it started out of nowhere and as of today, the blower is not blowing anything out. It should last for 10-20+ years. My wife had the same issue with her BMW and it burned out and black smoke came out the vents. The wires were scorched. This is a safety issue due to fires. I have done research and vehicles have caught fire because of this problem in vehicles. Please advise and thank you.
