Back Up Camera is glitching and not detecting items behind me. I noticed that this item was a recall at one time but when I put my VIN it does not indicate a recall.
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.
2015 challenger, wheel speed sensor failures starting at year two. Have replaced wheel speed sensors on 5 separate occasions. It has affected all wheel speed sensors and fron passenger replaced twice. All replacement parts are from dealer and are geniuine mopar replacements. Seems to be a very common issue, the parts are typically on backorder and it can be caused simply by going through a car wash.
My car started giving warning signal on dashboard and would not function properly my car speed wouldn't stop and wouldn't break I ran off road and wrecked no other vehicles were involved and my airbag did not deploy when I wrecked no airbags came out but my computer is still showing airbag system needs service my airbags did no come out, the steering wheel cover popped off and the roof panels are popped out of seams but no air bags came out at all my cruise control is not working now and my seatbelt would not unlock when I wrecked now the seatbelt alarm will not stop going off even when it's buckled I'm now having electricel issues and service warnings that' came on before car wrecked are all still on I have had some body work fixed since wreck but stopped having things fixed from wreck on car because I'm scared to drive it now I feel unsafe I don't know what to expect I'm scared airbags are gonna pop out now since they already went off and nothing came out I have not had it checked or taking it to dealership since it's been in shop for some of the body work repair but I never finished repairs I spent 4200 in body work and more is needed but I'm scared to drive my car it's got to much crazy stuff going on all the dash readings are still showing and the reading for airbag that is still on
THE VEHICLE HAD A RECALL ABOUT THE THE PCM SO I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND AFTER I FELT AS IF NOTHING WERE DONE TO FIX MY CAR SO I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF AWAY AND WHEN I GOT MY CAR BACK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE GUY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT GIVING FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT MY CAR AND TELLS ME I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION SO EVEN THEN I STILL KNOW NOTHING WAS DONE TO FIX MY CAR MY PCM IS GETTING WORSE AND NOW AFFECTING. MY TRANSMISSION CONTROL UNIT SHIFTING. THE CAR WON'T GO INTO FIRST GEAR AND WHEN GOING INTO 5TH GEAR IT KICKS AND WHIPLASHES ME.
THE STABILITY CONTROL ICON COMES ON, SOMETIMES IT GOES AWAY. RECENTLY IT HAS STAYED ON FOR COUPLE OF DAYS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT WENT AWAY . THE DEALER SAID IF THERE IS NO LIGHTS ON DISPLAY THEY CAN'T SERVICE THE ISSUE.
MY UCONNECT SCREEN HAS WENT BLACK AND SPORT BUTTON DEACTIVATED. PASSENGER SEAT NOT CLICKING IN PLACE. *TR
UNABLE TO SEE SPEED AT ZERO, GAUGES AREN'T WORKING.
THE BRAKE ANTILOCK WHEEL SPEED SENSORS ON THE FRONT WHEELS LOCKED INTO SKID MODE AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 4 MILES AN HOUR. 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 CAR WAS PARKED AND NOT ON. WHEN THE KEY FOB WAS HIT TO UNLOCK THE CAR THE PANEL BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND PASSENGER DOOR CAUGHT ON FIRE. THIS ALSO CAUSED THE SUNROOF TO JAR OPEN.
WHILE OPERATING NORMALLY, APPROXIMATELY 35-65 MPH BOTH HIGHWAY AND COUNTY ROADS, ON THE WAY TO WORK, THE SERVICE ABS & STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS CAME IN, STEERING AND BRAKING WERE AFFECTED. BRAKE SYSTEM STARTED PULSING AND STEERING SYSTEM VIBRATED. 20 SECONDS LATER, WENT AWAY. ON THE WAY HOME, IT REPEATED THIS 4X WITHIN 35 MILES OF TRAVEL. WENT TO DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY FOR ISSUE. THEY CLAIMED IT TO BE A FAULTY WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. REPLACED SENSOR. 49,575 MILES AT TIME OF SERVICE. A $42 PART ENDED UP COSTING $310 TO GET FIXED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS THING TO HAPPEN TO FAIRLY NEW CAR. CAR HAS NEVER SEEN SNOW OR SALT. GARAGE KEPT IN WINTER MONTHS. THIS AFFECTED THE BRAKING AND STEERING SYSTEMS. 2 OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SYSTEMS ON A VEHICLE IN ORDER TO OPERATE SAFELY ON THE ROAD. I AM THE 3RD PERSON I KNOW OF WHO'S HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME YEAR DODGE. THIS SHOULD BE A FACTORY RECALL ON ALL THE SENSORS FOR THESE SYSTEMS TO BE REPLACED.
4 JULY 2017, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, VEHICLE FAULT INDICATORS SHOWING PROBLEM WITH STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, ABS SYSTEM, AND DISABLED CRUISE CONTROL. FAULTS CLEARED APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS LATER. 5 JULY 2017, VEHICLE AGAIN DISPLAYED SAME FAULTS, HOWEVER, FAULTS REMAINED LATCHED (DID NOT SELF CLEAR). I CONTACTED LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, FAULT WAS DIAGNOSED ON 6 JULY 2017 AS A FAILED RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. SERVICE DEPARTMENT PLACED NEEDED PART ON ORDER, RETURNED KEYS TO ME AND ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE TO BRING VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR ON 7 JULY 2017. WHILE CONTINUING ON TO PLACE OF WORK, FAULTS RETURNED, THEN CLEARED. AT THE END OF DAY, 6 JULY, WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT NORMAL APPROACH SPEEDS AND APPLIED BRAKES. FRONT BRAKES INITIALLY OPERATED AS NORMAL, THEN WITHIN A SECOND OR SO, LOST BRAKE PRESSURE...I FELT THE ABS SYSTEM RELEASE THE BRAKES, CAUSING ME TO EXERT ENORMOUS PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITHIN A FEW FEET OF THE STOP SIGN TO GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED FROM ONLY A FEW MPH. ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS 55 MPH. AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED (BARELY)..THEN THE SAME FAULTS APPEARED. FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, THE INTERMITTENT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CAUSED THE FRONT ABS SYSTEM TO ACTIVATE ON A DRY ROAD, ESSENTIALLY DISABLING MY FRONT BRAKES WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF BRAKING. THIS IS NOT AN EXPECTED FAILURE MODE. I UNDERSTAND ONBOARD DIAGNOSTICS INDICATING THE PROBLEMS ABOVE, HOWEVER, IT APPEARS THAT IF THIS PROBLEM TAKES PLACE WHILE BRAKING, BRAKE PERFORMANCE IS COMPROMISED. THIS IS NOW THE SECOND WHEEL SPEED SENSOR TO BE REPLACED IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR SO. FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, THAT MEANS THAT THIS IS A HIGH FAILURE RATE ITEM (LAST ONE WAS ON THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL), AND IF IT HAPPENS WHILE BRAKING...I ESSENTIALLY LOSE BRAKING AT THE PRECISE MOMENT BRAKES ARE NEEDED. I CONSIDER THIS A DESIGN ISSUE. REDUNDANT SENSORS RECOMMENDED FOR ABS.
NEW 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER PURCHASED WITH 67 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE EXPERIENCED "STUCK" RPM'S AT 23 AND 51 MPH. HARD SHIFTS. HARD TRANSITIONS. SHUTTERING IN THE TRANSMISSION. INABILITY TO SHIFT OUT OF 3500 RPM WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I WAS AT A DEAD STOP ATTEMPTING TO GET INTO THE HIGHWAY LANE [NO ONRAMP AREA TO MERGE] AND THE CAR ONLY WENT TO 51 MPH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ANY MORE. THE TRANSMISSION STAYED AT 3500 RPM. I HAD A PASSENGER TAKE A VIDEO OF THE ISSUE WITH MY CAMERA PHONE TO SHOW THE DEALERSHIP THE ISSUE. RALLY MODE IS EVEN WORSE. ANOTHER CAR ON SAFERCAR.GOV HAS THE SAME ISSUE, SAME MODEL, SAME YEAR. I HAVE NOT EVEN MADE MY FIRST PAYMENT ON IT TO CHRYSLER CAPITAL. I HAVE AN OPEN "STAR" CASE WITH DODGE CUSTOMER CARE AND I HAVE GONE THROUGH TWO CASE MANAGERS ALREADY. THE CASE MANAGER AS OF TODAY TOLD ME, THAT THEY ARE GOING TO TELL THE DEALER TO DROP THE TRANSMISSION AND CHECK THE VALVE BODY FOR EXCESS WEAR OR OTHER ISSUES. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER 3 TIMES IN THE THE 4 WEEKS I HAVE ASSUMED CONTROL/LEASED THE CAR. THIS LAST TIME WILL MAKE 9 DAYS AT THE DEALER. THERE IS A SYSTEMIC ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. SIDE NOTE.MID DASH VENT CLICKS--REFUSES TO CLOSE. ANOTHER DEALERSHIP ORDERED THE PART FOR THAT--ELECTRICAL ISSUES ALL AROUND WITH THE 2015 DODGE CHALLENGER SXT.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
