I HAVE REPAIRED THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM, BRAKE SYSTEM, SWAY BAR BUSHING, WATER PUMP, ETC. NOW THE HEAD GASKETS BLEW... ARE THERE ANY RECALLS OR WAYS YOU CAN REFUND ME?

I HAVE BEEN CHASING A ABS/EPS LIGHT ISSUE SINCE THE DEALERSHIP DID AN AIRBAG RECALL. REPLACED ALL WHEEL SENSORS, ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS AND FINALLY RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE ANGLE SENSOR. 5 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. RETURNED AND THEY SAID THE STEERING COLUMN MEASURED 37MM INSTEAD OF 34MM. THIS ITEM HAS NEVER BEEN REPLACED OR DAMAGED AND WITHOUT REPLACING THIS ITEM THEN I'M BEING TOLD THIS SENSOR WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT MY DAILY DRIVER BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ON SAFETY ISSUES. NOW I KNOW IT WAS A MANUFACTURE ISSUE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO HELP ME BECAUSE THEY STATED THE DEALER HAS NOT DETERMINED THIS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. IN 2010 AND 2012 THIS ISSUES HAS COME UP IN THE MEDIA AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS PLACED ON NOTICE BUT FAILED TO RECALL BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH CASES WERE LOCATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SENSOR (TPMS) WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V642000 (TIRES) AT EARNHARDT CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (1521 E DRIVERS WAY, GILBERT, AZ 85297), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE TPMS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

VALVE STEM CORRODING HAD ONE REPLACED ALREADY. *TR

CHANGE TIRES AND THE LOW TIRE LIGHT DOESN'T COME OFF. TRUNK WILL NOT UNLOCK FROM KEY FOB OR INSIDE CAR. KEY HOLE TO OPEN DOOR EASY TO BREAK INTO. CAR KEEP CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING ON SEVERAL OCCASION. CUT OFF WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION.

TPMS TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. DRIVING 60MPH. 50F. HIGHWAY. TPMS LIGHT CAME ON AFTER I HEARD A "POP". TIRE COMPLETELY DEFLATED WITHIN 1/4 MILE. TIRE SHOP REPORTED TPMS FAILURE, AND COULD REPLACE IT FOR APPROXIMATELY $75.00. SIMPLE MATH? $300.00 FOR FOUR TIRES. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A "SAFETY FEATURE" ON THE CAR, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE TPMS IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN A STANDARD TIRE STEM.

I HAVE REPAIRED THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM, BRAKE SYSTEM, SWAY BAR BUSHING, WATER PUMP, ETC. NOW THE HEAD GASKETS BLEW... ARE THERE ANY RECALLS OR WAYS YOU CAN REFUND ME?

AFTER TAKING CARE OF THIS CAR I'VE NOTICE THAT THE MANUFACTURE HAS FAILED ME. I BEGAN TO THINK I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED TO. AND AFTER FURTHER REVIEW IT SEEMS TO ME THAT MOST ALL CHARGERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WHICH I THINK THAT DODGE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR REPLACING THE ENGINE IN THE VEHICLE. IF ANYONE IS LIKE MYSELF YOU HATE TO GIVE UP SUCH A BEAUTY. BUT AT THIS TIME I'M ALMOST HEARTBROKEN TO SAY IT MUST BE DONE. I FEEL WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THIS ENGINE SHOULD CONSIDER REPLACING NOT THE SAME MODEL IN THE VEHICLE BUT GIVE A BETTER BRAND. OR IS THAT CAN NOT EXIST BE CONSIDERATE ENOUGH TO GIVE THE OWNER HAVE OF WHAT THEY HAVE INVESTED INTO THE VEHICLE. BUT YOU MUST SHOW PROOF. DODGE ITS NOT RIGHT AND SOMEONE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE ESPECIALLY IF WE HAVE TO PAY A CAR PAYMENT OR CASH IN HAND FOR THIS BEAUTY. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS LETTER TO UPHOLD YOUR END OF THE BARGAIN. IT IS ONLY FAIR. MY ENGINE IS GONE. SIGN UNSATISFIED COSTUMER

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY I HEARD A RATTLE IN THE ENGINE, THEN IT HEARD SOMETHING BREAK OFF, MY BRAKES BECAME HARD I WAS HAVING TROUBLE STOPPING. AFTER I COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. WHILE TRYING TO RESTART MY CAR I COULD ONLY HEAR A CLICK THEN THE ENGINE STARTED TO SMOKE. I HAD RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A HARSH GEAR SHIFT WHILE DRIVING.

I HAVE REPAIRED THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM, BRAKE SYSTEM, SWAY BAR BUSHING, WATER PUMP, ETC. NOW THE HEAD GASKETS BLEW... ARE THERE ANY RECALLS OR WAYS YOU CAN REFUND ME?

PRIOR TO MY MISHAP I HAD NO SIGNS OF MALFUNCTION I WAS DRIVING EARLY ONE MORNING IN MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF AND WILL NOT RESTART COME TO FIND OUT THERE'S A RECALL ON MY TIPM BUT THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR A CERTAIN TIMEFRAME AND MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED LITERALLY FEW MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL DATES ENDED NO I HAVE A REALLY PROBLEM UNDER THE FUSE BOX AND I FEEL IT'S NOT FAIR THAT THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR A CERTAIN TIME. WHEN I HAVE ALL THE SAME PARTS AS THE RECALL CAR IS DEAD MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN DECEMBER 2008 BUT GOT THE 2010 TIPM DUDE BOX I SPENT A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TRYING TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM AND SO WE REALIZED IT WAS THE INTERNAL RELAY .IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT THIS

THE WIN MODULE HAS TROUBLE COMMUNICATING WITH THE KEY FOB AND THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. LOOSE ALL POWER TO DASH. HAPPENED TO ME ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON THE STREET WHILE DRIVING. ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. WIN MODULE STOPS WORKING ALL TOGETHER

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY I HEARD A RATTLE IN THE ENGINE, THEN IT HEARD SOMETHING BREAK OFF, MY BRAKES BECAME HARD I WAS HAVING TROUBLE STOPPING. AFTER I COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. WHILE TRYING TO RESTART MY CAR I COULD ONLY HEAR A CLICK THEN THE ENGINE STARTED TO SMOKE. I HAD RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A HARSH GEAR SHIFT WHILE DRIVING.

ALL OF MY STEERING COLUMN COMPONENTS QUIT WORKING, I HAVE NO TURN SIGNALS, WIPERS, BRIGHTS, CRUISE CONTROL, HORN OR POWER MIRRORS. NOW THE TAILLIGHTS ILLUMINATE ONLY WHEN THEY WANT TO BUT BRAKE LIGHTS WORK. I WAS STOPPED AND INFORMED THAT I HAD NO REAR LIGHTING AT ALL AND THAT IS WAS VERY UNSAFE. I'VE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY REPLACING PARTS BUT NOTHING IS GETTING FIXED NOT TOO MENTION THE SAFETY ASPECT OF IT ALL WITH NO TURN SIGNALS OR WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND THE TAILLIGHTS OR RUNNING LIGHTS NOT WORKING UNLESS I UNHOOK THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WHICH I ALSO REPLACED. THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON HERE AND THERE AS WELL. I BELIEVE IT'S THE TIPM BUT I NEED SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS. IT'S BEEN MONTHS SINCE I'VE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND HAVING EVERYTHING WORKING PROPERLY. I ALSO TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLES AND KEEP UP ON ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

I HAVE DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT PRODUCE HEAT WHEN THE THERMOSTAT IS SET TO HEAT AND INSTEAD BLOWS ONLY COLD AIR WHICH FOGS THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING OR NOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE VEERED FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT END FRAME WAS CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,285.

I HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY DRIVING AND A LADY T BONED ME ON MY DRIVER SIDE. MY CAR WAS DECLARED TOTALED BUT AT NO TIME DURING THE COLLISION OR EVEN AFTER DID MY AIRBAGS DEPLOY.

DASHBOARD LIGHTS NOT WORKING ANYMORE. SOMETIMES IT FADES IN AND OUT AND SOMETIMES NOTHING AT ALL. WITH THE ENGINE, WHEN I 1ST START IT WHILE COLD I'LL WAIT 30 SECONDS OR SO AND PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE ON MY KINDA BUT DOESNT. WAS TOLD WAIT TIL CAR IS WARMED UP AND MUFFLER NOISE WILL GO AWAY ONCE IT WARMS UP. ALL OF THIS WHILE IT IS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY.

SINCE DECEMBER, I HAVE EXPERIENCED A VERY NOTICEABLE FLICKER OF THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS. THIS HAS CAUSED ONCOMING DRIVERS TO FLASH THEIR HEADLIGHTS IN RESPONSE TO THE FLICKERING. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED MY BATTERY AND CHECKED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WHEN I GOOGLED "DODGE CHARGER FLICKERING HEADLIGHTS", THERE WERE POSTS BY A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF CHARGER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, SOME ARE EXPERIENCING HEADLIGHT FAILURE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WORTHY OF INVESTIGATION. *TR

CAR IS HAVING A FUEL LEAK FROM THE TOP PLASTIC PART THAT CONNECTS THE FUEL LINES TO TOP OF THE PASSENGER FUEL PUMP. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE AND IT IS A HUGE FIRE HAZARD. THESE CHEAP PLASTIC PARTS WITH LITTLE PROTECTION OTHER THAN JUST THE SEAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AS THERE ARE MULTIPLE STORIES OF PEOPLE BEING BURNED ALIVE DUE TO FUEL LEAKS.

AUXILIARY FUEL PUMP MODULE RECENTLY STARTED LEAKING. (BEHIND PASSENGER SEAT) AFTER CLOSER INSPECTION THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP IS LEAKING...THE PLASTIC ITSELF. NOT THE LINE OR CONNECTION. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND THERE IS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A RECALL. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER MY CAR IS RUNNING.
