2008 Dodge Charger AWD Problems

IF THE IGNITION STAYS BETWEEN "START" AND "ON" POSITIONS IT COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CERTAIN ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS. IF THE IGNITION KEY INADVERTENTLY MOVES INTO THE "OFF" OR "ACCESSORY" POSITION, THE ENGINE WILL TURN OFF, WHICH WILL THEN DEPOWER VARIOUS KEY SAFETY SYSTEMS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO AIR BAGS, POWER STEERING, AND POWER BRAKING. LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY OF THESE SYSTEMS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF CRASH AND/OR INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.

FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS, AND MORE SO NOW IN THE COLDER WEATHER, THE ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL COMES ON EITHER AT START UP OR BETWEEN 10-35 MPH. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, POWER IMMEDIATELY GOES TO NOTHING CAUSING THE CAR TO DIE. THE ABS LIGHTS, INCLUDING THE BAS LIGHT, ARE ALSO NOW ON. *TR

I CAN PUT THE KEY IN THE STARTER I'M TURNING IT OVER NOVI TRUCK IS RUNNING TO MY GAS PUMP OR MY SPEEDOMETER OR MY RADIO

I WAS DRIVING 45 MPH WHEN MY 2008 DODGE CHARGER STARTED WANTING TO CUT OFF AS IF WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS THEN ALL AT ONCE CAR JUST CUTS OFF IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. THE CHARGER WOULD NOT CRANK BACK UP, TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY SAID MOTOR JUST WENT OUT, AND ALSO SOMETIMES I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE NOT WANTING TO CUT ON PUT THE KEY IN AND TURN TO ON AND NOTHING LIGHTS WOULD JUST COME ON I ALWAYS KEEP MY OIL CHANGES ON TIME FROM WHAT I BEEN READING THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE HAS ALOT OF PROBLEMS SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GET THESE VEHICLES FIXED. *TR

I DRIVE TO WORK EVERY DAY AND I CAN FEEL MY CAR SHACKING WHILE I HAVE THE CAR ON DRIVE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED MY VEHICLE SLIDING OF THE ROAD WITH OUT CONTROL. ALSO MY BREAKS HAS LOST CONTROL ON ME WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH. THESE ISSUES IM EXPERIENCING ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL DRIVING MY VEHICLE EVEN IF IM DRIVING SLOW. THE LAST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED 9/12/18, BUT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THESE ISSUES ARE NOT REPORTED AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CONSIDERED AS A RECALL.

EVERYTIME I CHECK MY OIL THERE IS NEVER ANY OIL IN THERE. I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO PUT OIL IN MY CAR. THE OTHER NIGHT I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR JUST STARTED SHAKING. THE AIR AND HEAT STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A TUNE UP AND THAT MY #2 SPARK PLUG HAD BLOWN. I THEN HAD THE TUNE UP AND #2 SPARK PLUG CHANGED AND MY CAR STILL IS NOT RUNNING RIGHT. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO BASICALLY LAUGHED AT ME AND TOLD ME THE 2.7 ENGINE WERE HORRIBLE. HE TOLD ME I HAD OIL SLUDGE AND THAT I MIGHT AS WELL NOT EVEN BOTHER GETTING MY CAR FIXED. I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THIS CAR A YEAR YET. DODGE NEEDS TO REPLACE ALL 2.7 ENGINES. *TR

THE CAR WAS STOPPED AT RED LIGHT AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A TURN THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR INTO PARK AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE CAME BACK ON. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION AFTER HAVING FLUIDS DONE TWICE KEEPS LOCKING UP INTO 2ND GEAR HAVE TO TURN OFF CAR SHIFT IN PARK RESTART. *TR

I OWN A 2008 DODGE CHARGER, I RECENTLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WHEN THE DS POWER SEATS STOPPED WORKING FOLLOWED BY THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS. TOOK IT TO DODGE COUNTRY IN KILLEEN, TX WHERE I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MAN THAT THE WIRES HAD MELTED TOGETHER NEAR THE FUSE BOX IN TRUCK AND THAT IT WAS A FIRE HAZARD. HE COULD NOT TELL ME WHERE THE PROBLEM ORIGINATED, BUT INFORMED ME TO CALL MY INSURANCE CO. AND FILE A CLAIM WITH THEM. HE SAID AND I QUOTE "TELL THEM YOU SPILLED SOMETHING IN THE TRUCK, GET YOUR HUSBAND TO AGREE ON IT, AND THEY SINCE THEY INSURE STUPIDITY THEY WILL LIKELY COVER THIS, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU DECIDE SO WE CAN ALL HAVE THE SAME STORY & I WILL TELL THEM WHAT YOU WANT!". THAT NIGHT I WENT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP TO PICK UP MY CAR CHARGER OUT OF MY CAR AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW BOTH SEATS ARE WORKING AS WELL AS MY LOCKS! I DID CALL MY INSURANCE CO. AS WELL AS FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER AND INFORMED BOTH PARTIES WHAT THE SERVICE GUY TOLD ME TO DO. WHEN BOTH DENIED MY CLAIM I CALLED DODGE COUNTRY AND INFORMED THEM I WOULD BE PICKING UP MY CAR. WHEN I GOT MY RECEIPT WITH DIAGNOSTIC REPORT IT STATED THE "FUSE IN PDC MELTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED" NOT WIRING HARNESS LIKE I WAS TOLD ORIGINALLY. GOT IN MY CAR AND SEAT WAS MOVED ALL THE WAY UP TO STEERING WHEEL AND NOT WORKING AGAIN!!! THESE PEOPLE DO BAD BUSINESS! THEY FIXED IT AND WHEN I REFUSED TO PAY THE $4500 THEY WANTED TO REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS THE UNFIXED IT! MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT IT WASN'T THE WIRES IN THE FIRST PLACE. THEY ALSO BENT THE FUSES IN PDC FROM PULLING THEM OUT WITH PLIERS! DODGE HAS YET TO RETURN A PHONE CALL! CAR STILL INOP!! *TR
