Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2010 DODGE Charger. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 71,000 and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 162,185.

While I am driving the vehicle it shuts off and the key seems to be loose. It has shut off multiple times while operating driving down the highway making it unsafe to get to the side of the road

Hi I have been trying to get my recalls fixed but everytime I call the dealership they take my information but they never call me back, it has been many months waiting and It says that my airbag can deploy shrapnel everywhere because of humidity.. I have a heart pump and I take many medications and one of them is a blood thinner. If I get hurt from flying shrapnel it could and most likely will kill me because while taking blood thinners it makes it so that you bleed very easily.. I really don't want to die so is there anyway I can get help with my recalls please.. The place that won't call me back is Lithia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Grand Forks, ND

Something wrong in the fuel system. Gas guage incorrect and when putting fuel in sometimes it spits it back out without having full tank.

Drove on hwy no problem made it into town Smelled gas & seen smoke coming from hood briefly(tank was half full )Turned car off got out seen smoke from under the hood, opened the hood as best as i could and seen flames coming from under the hood.CALL fire Dept. dash have no warnings of anything only the smell and being observant saves my life

Got rear ended day later hears a winding noise and engine light came on then Battery light came on. When driving next day all lights on dash board came on and car died. Thought was battery changed it then restarted car. Next day bring to get diagnosed and said altnator was testing bad so had that replaced but Battery light stayed on. Took to collision center dodge and they said pcm was bad so had that replaced. The mechanic stated common problem when altnator dies it burns up the pm module. So I had to wait 2 months for it to get replaced and now changed still the check engine lights and battery light is on.

WHILE DRIVING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME, THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND I LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I PRESSED THE GAS REPEATEDLY AND NOTHING HAPPENED. CARS BEHIND ME WERE BLOWING BUT THERE WASN'T MUCH I COULD DO. THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN ANYWAY SO I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND THEY WORKED SO I STRUGGLED LIKE CRAZY TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR INTO A CHURCH DRIVEWAY. THANK GOD THE BRAKES WORKED OR IT COULD'VE BEEN UGLY. I TRIED STARTING THE CAR BUT IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING BUT ACT LIKE IT WANTED TO START. IT WASN'T A CLICKING IT WAS MORE LIKE A WINDING NOISE LIKE A RUUU RUUU RUUU. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT MADE THE SAME NOISE BUT IT SOUNDED WORSE. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOME BECAUSE THERE WASN'T A REPAIR SHOP OPENED THAT LATE. I'M GOING TO CALL A MECHANIC TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE MIGHT BE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. IT HAPPENED TWO IN APRIL AND THREE TIMES IN MAY OF THIS YEAR BUT IT STARTED BACK UP. I WASN'T SO LUCKY THIS TIME. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY AND I HAD NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE DOING THAT. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND IT WAS PLACED ON A MACHINE AND NO CODES WOULD SHOW UP BUT THE GUY RECOMMENDED I REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY, AND I DID. DODGE REALLY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ASAP. THIS [XXX] IS RIDICULOUS. IT HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND ON THE HIGHWAY. HOPEFULLY THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER OR SOMEONE IN A REALLY HIGH TRAFFIC AREA BECAUSE SOMEONE COULD GET INJURED OR KILLED. I GUESS THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE WAITING ON TO FIX THE PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 2010 DODGE CHARGER CAUGHT FIRE AND EXPLODED. I WAS SITTING IN IT WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING, WAITING FOR MY SON. I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING, BUT NOT LIKE PLASTIC OR THE SMELL WHEN IT'S OVERHEATING. I LOOKED AT MY DASH AND THE THERMOSTAT NEEDLE WAS STRAIGHT UP THEN I SAW A LITTLE PUFF OF SMOKE OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE. I POPPED THE HOOD AND FLAMES SHOT ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. I OPENED THE DOOR AND ROLLED OUT BECAUSE MY SEAT WAS RECLINED. I COULD SEE FIRE UNDER THE HOOD, I REACHED BACK IN AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF THINKING MAYBE IT WOULD HELP. I GRABBED MY PHONE WHICH WAS STUCK TO THE DASH WITH A MAGNET AND I RAN LIKE HELL!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT CRONIC CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2515 N EXPY, GRIFFIN, GA 30223, (770) 227-4271) FOR MAINTENANCE, THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE TIRES WERE UNABLE TO BE ROTATED BECAUSE THE LUG NUTS WERE SWOLLEN.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

CRACKS IN SIDEWALL FOUND AT 1-2 INCHES ABOVE BEAD LINE CIRCUMFERENCE IN A SET OF FOUR UNIROYAL TIGER PAW TOURING 215/65R17 99T M+S TIRES PURCHASED MARCH 2013 AND REMOVED SEPTEMBER 2105 AT 25,000 MILES. TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE TO PREVENT IMMINENT BLOWOUT, BUT SAVED TIRES FOR POSTERITY. TREAD STILL EXCELLENT. CRACKS NOTED ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF SIDEWALL, NOT BOTH, SO EASY TO MISS IF ON INTERIOR FACING SIDEWALL.

I'M HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE VALVE STEMS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE IS A 2010 DODGE CHARGER WITH FIRESTONE FIREHAWK PURSUIT TIRES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DOTHAN CHRYSLER DODGE, DOTHAN AL 7 TIMES ALREADY FOR VALVESTEMS AND IT ONLY HAS 13,400 MILES ON IT! THE VEHICLE IS OWNED BY THE ALABAMA DEPT. OF PUBLIC SAFETY, AND RAPID DEFLATION OF A TIRE IS A MAJOR CONCERN WHILE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES AS AN ALABAMA STATE TROOPER. THE VALVE STEMS ARE LEAKING FROM THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES. I'M AT A LOSS AS HOW TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. DODGE DENIES ANY PROBLEM EVEN EXISTS. *TR

HEAD LIGHT GO FLUXUATE DIM TO BRIGHT THE CAR HAS STRUT PROBLEMS TIE ROD PROBLEMS AT 75000 MILE IM ON THIRD SET OF TIRES I HAVE BROUGHT MY CONCERNS TO LITHA DODGE ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG IT IS HIPMOTIZING TO DRIVE IN THE SLIGHTEST OF FOG NOT TO MENTIN DANGEROUS

I RECEIVED A "FIX-IT" WARNING FROM THE NEVADA HIGHWAY PATROL DUE TO A NON WORKING "3RD BRAKE LIGHT". CHECKING THE FUSE AND THE LED BULB DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, AN INTERNET SEARCH TOLD ME TO CHECK THE WIRE HARNESS BETWEEN THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE AND THE TRUCK LID. I NOTICED THAT SEVERAL VEHICLES OF THE SAME TYPE AND FOR SEVERAL YEAR MODELS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I PULLED BACK THE RUBBER FROM THE WIRE I FOUND 5 OUT OF 6 WIRES IN THE HARNESS BROKE IN THE SAME PLACE. I RECONNECTED THE WIRES MATCHING THE COLOR CODES AND THIS SOLVED THE PROBLEM. ( I ALSO FOUND OUT I HAVE A TRUNK LIGHT !! ) THE LOCAL SERVICE DEPT AND ALSO DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE DENIED THERE WAS AN ISSUE AND DID NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

I RECENTLY RENTED A 2010 DODGE CHARGER WITH POWER SEATS. NONE OF THE ADJUSTING BUTTONS ARE MARKED. AT THE FRONT SIDE CORNER OF THE SEAT IS A TOGGLE BUTTON. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE; I MOVED THIS BUTTON TO ADJUST THE SEAT WHICH I THOUGHT WAS LOGICAL. THIS BUTTON HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE POWER SEATS. THIS BUTTON WHEN ACTIVATED RAISES AND LOWERS THE GAS PEDAL POSITION AND BRAKE PEDAL POSITION. IT CAN BE ACTIVATED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE RESULT OF THIS IS THAT THE ACCELERATION AND BRAKING CAN BE INCREASED OR DECREASED UNEXPECTEDLY. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW THAT COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AT THE LEAST; IT SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO MOVE THESE PEDALS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. NO ACCIDENT RESULTED; BUT IT IS VERY DISORIENTING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO A SERVICE AREA, THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KEFFER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (LOCATED AT 8214 E INDEPENDENCE BLVD, CHARLOTTE, NC 28227, (704) 532-1050) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY, POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE, AND ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

MY DODGE CHARGER R/T HAS HAD REPEATED SUNROOF LEAKS, THE HEADLINER LOOKS AWFUL AND THE SUNROOF WAS REPLACED A MONTH AGO AND I'M STILL HAVING PROBLEMS, BUT NOW ITS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I'M TIRED OF PAYING MONTHLY FOR A VEHICLE TO BE PUT IN THE SHOP FOR A WEEK AT A TIME TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT IS STILL A PROBLEM. I WANT DODGE TO BUY THIS VEHICLE BACK AND THEY CAN MAKE THE PAYMENTS. *TR
