  I have owned my car for a little over 4 years and I just bought a two pack of lightbulbs in sept 2022 for the headlights. And I replace my bulbs every couple of months bc they go out. This cannot be normal. This is becoming expensive as a 2 pack is $50 x3 times a year. I've had them replaced at a shop where it was over $125. I've checked to make sure I'm buying the right ones. And I just find this to be crazy. As I have to go buy my 4th pack tomorrow this year.

AFTER ABOUT A WEEK TRYING TO GET IN THE DEALERSHIP THE ENTIRE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. I REPLACED THE BULB NOTHING HAPPENED. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AGAIN THERE WAS WAIT. ANOTHER WEEK WENT BY AND MY PASSENGER HEADLAMP STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. I NOW HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND MY FOG LIGHTS.

  STEERING WHEEL JERKED WHEN TURNING OR BACKING OUT OF A TIGHT SPOT, INTERMITTENTLY. WE THEN RECEIVED POWER STEERING ERROR WITH THE ICON ON THE DASH. NOW APPROX 3 MONTHS LATER WE LOST POWER STEERING. DEALERS SAY THE ENTIRE FRONT RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF AN ELECTRONIC PART. THE RACK IS AT LEAST $2500 AND THEN MULTIPLE DEALERS SAY AT LEAST ANOTHER $1500 IN LABOR. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A CAR ONLY 2 YEARS OLD CAN BE SUBJECT TO THIS TYPE OF REPAIR FOR AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT FAILURE. WHEN STARTING, WE CAN STEER EASILY BUT AFTER 100 YARDS OR LESS WE GET THE FAILURE ICON AND LOSE POWER STEERING. THIS CLEARLY SEEMS A FAULT AT THE DESIGN/MANUFACTURE LEVEL. I CANNOT FIND THE COST OF THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENT YET, WOULD LIKE SOME HELP WITH THAT AND ALSO WITH CHRYSLER BEING MADE TO FIX THIS DEFECT.

  MY 2015 CHARGER IS HAVING POWER STEERING ISSUES. PROBLEM STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO, WHEN THE CAR WOULD JERK TO EITHER SIDE AND THE ABS LIGHT WOULD COME ON. TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW POWER STEERING RACK. CAR WAS A YEAR OLD WHEN PURCHASED, AND A YEAR LATER, IS HAVING THIS MAJOR ISSUE. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A DEFECT, OR IF SOMEONE TRIED TO MODIFY CAR IN SOME WAY, OR IF THE PROBLEM OCCURRED BEFORE IT WAS PURCHASED BY ME AND THAT INFO WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO ME. THE CAR WAS USED AS A PERSONAL VEHICLE BY THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM, AND WAS ONLY TOLD THAT INFORMATION AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE THIS ISSUE KNOWN, IN CASE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.AGAIN, IN MY OPINION, THIS CAR IS TOO NEW TO HAVE THIS KIND OF ISSUE, SO SOON. ONLY 2 YEARS OLD.

WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT LOOKED AT I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $650 TO REPLACE THE DOOR ACTUATOR. APPROX 2 DAYS LATER WHILE I WAS WAITING ON THE PART I TRIED THE HEAT AND IT CAME ON. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I CANCELLED THE REPAIR. NOW, HERE AS THE COLD HAS COME UPON US AGAIN, ONCE AGAIN, NO HEAT ON DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL ISSUES REGARDING DODGE CHARGERS OF THE SAME YEAR EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS ISSUE IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED BY THE MAKER TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE. BEING THAT WHEN IT'S COLD OUT THE DEFROSTER ISN'T CAPABLE OF KEEPING THE WINDSHIELD CLEAR THEREFORE COULD CAUSE VISABILITY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING.

  There is a manufacturing defect in the car, after it has driven 120,000 kilometers or 200,000 kilometers, it causes problems in the engine’s cooling systems, which causes the car’s temperature to rise. It is also possible that the engine is damaged and needs to be replaced after that. The cooling system needs to be checked, improved, and treated for better and higher quality Note : After researching this problem on websites, I found that the car breaks down frequently in countries like Saudi Arabia due to the temperature of weather reaching 50 degrees Celsius.

  I HAVE A DODGE CHARGER, I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY DOOR PANELS INSIDE THE CAR HAVE BEEN WARPING, I DIDN'T THINK THAT I HAVE TO PAY 30000 DOLLARS FOR A CAR I THOUGHT WOULD BE AN AWESOME CAR DO THIS. SO I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME, BUT NO I HAVE FOUND OUT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2011, I HAVE A TOTAL OF 3 CARS INCLUDING MY BEAUTIFUL DODGE CHARGER. I DON'T THINK IT'S FAR THAT I AND MANY OTHERS HAVE TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE OF NEARLY AN EXTRA 2000 DOLLARS FOR GETTING OUR DOOR PANELS REINSTALLED. THIS IS LUDACRIS DON'T GO THINK. I ALSO KNOW THAT THIS IS A NATION WIDE PROBLEM HERE, THEN WHEN YOU CALL TO SEE ABOUT GETTING THEM FIX KNOWING YOU HAVE A WARRANTY OR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY TELL YOU THEY DON'T PAY FOR IT BECAUSE ITS WARE OR TEAR. HOW IS THAT? I KNOW WHEN I GET INTO MY CAR I USUALLY SIT INSIDE THE CAR AND NOT OR A DOOR PANEL. HOW HEAVY OF SOMETHING CAN A DOOR PANEL ACTUALLY BE BEING THAT A DOOR PANEL HAS LITTLE WEIGHT TO HOLD ANYTHING. MY POINT HERE IS WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2011 IT'S 2019. WHY DO THE CUSTOMER HAVE TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR SOMETHING THEY HAVE NOT EVEN THERE.

  I also have a drive shaft bearing that is completely destroyed. I have seen similar complaints on nhtsa. I took my car into a local shop for both front CV boots ripped and leaking. Upon inspection I was told the drive shaft also needed replaced, totaling over 3000+ to replace the drive shaft. The mechanic took a video of the bearing and it is indeed completely separated with the drive shaft moving very loose. With how may people are complaining about this part, and the recalls on drive shafts for certain vehicles, (unfortunately not this VIN) that it should be investigated.

  The center Carrier support bearing is defective. As I look online on how to repair it I see NUMEROUS occasions of this happening in similar cars as mine. This part allows the drive shaft to not move up and down. When the center support bearing is defective and pops out of place it allows the drive shaft to move up and down. Which ruins other parts of the drive shaft and transfer cases. Dodge needs to be held responsible for their faulty part.
