Sep 10, 2018

I AM WONDERING IF I HAVE ANY FURTHER ACTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO ME FOR A RECALL SITUATION. MY CAR HAD A RECALL FOR THE TIMING CHAIN AND I HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED IN 2014. A FEW WEEKS AGO WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR IN A SNOW STORM THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED AND DESTROYED MY ENGINE. I HAD SECONDS TO NEGOTIATE MY LANE AND GET TO SAFETY WHICH I COULD NOT. THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE WAS STILL STICKING OUT OF THE RIGHT LANE. I WAS INFORMED BY THE STATE PATROL I CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BEHIND ME AND MY VEHICLE WAS ALSO ALMOST STRUCK BY A SEMI TRUCK. I DO NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE YEAR ROUND SO BETWEEN 2014 AND NOW THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 20,000 MILES PUT ON IT WITH THE NEW TIMING CHAIN. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY INFORMED ME THE NEW TIMING CHAIN HAD A WARRANTY OF ONLY 2 YEARS SO ALL SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY. I AM MAKING THE ASSUMPTION THE CORRECT CHAIN WAS NOT PUT ON MY VEHICLE DURING THE RECALL REPAIR OR WAS NEVER CHANGED AT ALL. THE VEHICLE HAD A TOTAL OF 54,000 MILES ON IT AND ACCORDING TO ALL THE FORUMS, THIS IS TYPICALLY WITHIN THE MILEAGE THE CHAIN FAILS AND UNDER THE EXACT CONDITIONS OF WHICH I WAS DRIVING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS NO EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SHOULD HAVE LED TO A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. NOW DODGE WANTS TO CHARGE ME $5,000 FOR THE ENGINE REPAIR WHICH WAS CAUSED FROM THE TIMING CHAIN THEY SUPPOSEDLY INSTALLED.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE STRAIGHT DOWN A CITY STREET AT 36 MILES PER HOUR THROUGH AN INTERSECTION LIGHT AND MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE REALLY HARD AND THE CAR BEGAN TO DROP SPEED ON ITS OWN, I WENT TO PRESS THE GAS TO ACELERATE AND THE EGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH AND THE AIR CONDITIONER STARTED BLOWING REALLY HOT AIR AND I LOST ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE.I TRIED TO PUSH THE GAS TO TURN OFF THE BUSY STREET BUT I HAD NO POWER SO I HAD TO PRETTY MUCH COAST TO THE NEAREST PLACE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFICE. ONCE I PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT THE CAR STARTED TO HAVE A SMELL AS IF SOMETHING WAS BURNING UNDERNEATH THE HOOD, AT THAT POINT I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PUSHED THE OFF BUTTON, I SAT A FEW MINUTES THEN TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR BUT IT WOULD NOT START AND KEPT MAKING A NOISE SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF GOT OUT AND GOT MY TODDLER OUT OF THE BACKSEAT AND CALLED MY HUSBAND, HE ARRIVED ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER AND TRIED JUMP STARTING THE CAR BUT IT WOULD NOT START AND WAS MAKING A WEIRD NOISE WHEN PUSHING THE START BUTTON, AT THIS POINT I FIGURED THE CAR STOPPED DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED SO I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE ON THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD MY ENGINE IS COMPLETELY BURNED UP DUE TO LACK OF OIL WHICH IS NOT TRUE BECUASE I CHECKED THE OIL DIPSTICK 2 DAYS AFTER IT HAD BEEN SITTING AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THERE WAS OIL IN THE CAR AND NO OIL LEAKS, I JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR (2018) SO I BELIEVE MY ENGINE WAS BURNED UP COMPLETELY DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR AND A CIRCUT SHORTAGE CASED THE CAR TO OVER HEAT AND BURN THE ENGINE, I NEED THIS TO BE INVESTGATED TO SEE IF THIS IS SECONDARY TO THE RECALL SO THAT I CAN SEE IF IM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGES OR NOT BECAUSE NOW I NEED AN ENTIRE NEW ENGINE WHICH IS OVER $8,000 IN COSTS.

IN AUGUST MY CAR OUT OF NOWHERE WARNED AND ACTIVATED ITSELF FOR BATTERY SAVER MODE AND NOT LONG AFTER THAT SAME DAY THE CAR LOST ALL POWER CAUSING ME TO LOOSE TOTAL CONTROL OF BRAKES AND STEERING AS WELL AS UNABLE TO UNLOCK MY CAR TO GET OUT. IMAGINE THE FEAR I HAD ESPECIALLY HAVING MY FIANCE AND DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME. THANKFULLY NO COLLISION OCCURRED BUT WHAT IF? THE BATTERY DIED BECAUSE THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED POWER TO PERFORM ITSELF. WHY? DODGE CHARGER R/T MOPAR 5.7 HEMI. AUTOZONE CHARGED MY BATTERY AND CHECKED IT FOR FREE AND DIAGNOSED IT AS A HEALTHY BATTERY. WHEN INSTALLING THE BATTERY BACK I TURNED ON MY CAR TO DIAGNOSE IT WITH THE SENSOR READER THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING AND THE BELT BEGAN TO SMOKE UP AND WHISTLING LOUDLY RIGHT AWAY TURNED IT OFF BUT NOT BEFORE GETTING THE CODE P60 BUT MY CAR DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THAT RECALL CUZ ITS A V8.. SO IF I WOULD OF DIED THEN WOULD MY CAR BEEN ELIGIBLE CUZ U GUYS WOULD ACTUALLY LISTEN THAT ALL DODGE WITH ALTERNATOR 160 AMP ARE FAULTY. I DON'T GOT $$ TO BE THROWING I FIXED IT ONCE AND THE SAME DASHBOARD LIGHT KEEPS WARNING ME AND BEFORE IT KILLS MY ALTERNATOR I CHARGE THE BATTERY DOING THIS EVERY TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR CANT IMAGINE A GIRL SEEMS TO KNOW MUCH MORE THAN THE DEALERSHIP MECHANICS OR WHOEVER DECIDES WHAT CAR QUALIFIES FOR RECALL. *TR

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

WHILE LEAVING WALMART THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE A WHINING LOUD NOISE THAT CAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD AT THE SAME TIME MY CAR MADE A SOUND AND BATTERY SAVER MODE CAME ON. THE LIGHTS FLICKERED ABS & TRACTION LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. THE RADIO STOPPED PLAYING AND WOULDN'T COME BACK ON. AS I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR STOPPED COMPLETELY. I WASN'T ABLE TO MOVE THE WHEEL AND THE BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK. I CALLED MY NCO FOR A JUMP BUT IT DIDN'T HELP. THE CAR BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I NOTIFIED CHRYSLER AND IS WAITING FOR A CALL BACK AS IT SEEMS THERE WILL BE A RECALL BUT IT WONT START UNTIL NOV 28. BEING IN THE ARMY I NEED TRANSPORTATION I HOPE CHRYSLER DON'T THINK I AM SUPPOSE TO GO WITHOUT A CAR UNTIL THEY START THE RECALL... THIS IS A DISGRACE, I HAD A CHEVY MAILBU FROM 2007-2012 AND IT NEVER ONCE HAD A RECALL LET ALONE 5, WORKED LIKE A CHARM!

WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY 61 ON MAY 13,2014 I NOTICED MY WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAD NO WHERE TO PULL OVER SO APPROX., 10 MILES LATER THE BATTERY SAFE MODE CAME ON AND THEN I STARTED SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED TO HAVE SOMEONE TAKE MY CAR BACK TO TOWN. I THEN NEEDED TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR BEFORE THE CAR WOULD RUN AGAIN. THEN ON 7/8/2014 THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM PROCEEDED TO HAPPEN AGAIN AD THIS TIME I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MEINEKE WHERE THEY ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY AGAIN AT ANOTHER COST OF $1,148.66 ON TOP OF THE FIRST $803.16 THAT I HAD PUT INTO THE CAR A MONTH EARLIER. THIS CAR GOT SO HOT AND YOU COULD TELL THERE WAS OBVIOUSLY AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BUT ALL ANYONE WOULD SAY IS THAT ITS STARTING AT THE ALTERNATOR. *TR

JUST AS EVERYONE ELSE HAS WRITTEN, MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER AT ONLY 51,000 MILES ALTERNATOR WENT OUT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF THE GAUGES STARTED FLASHING, MY RADIO CUT OFF, AND THEN MY WHOLE CAR DIED AND WOULDN'T COME BACK ON. LUCKILY, I PULLED OVER IN ENOUGH TIME BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN AND I COULDN'T EVEN PUSH MY BREAK IN. I WOULD HATE TO HAVE BEEN GOING FASTER AND THE WHOLE CAR SHUT DOWN AND BE STUCK IN A METAL DEATH TRAP. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED FROM ANOTHER TOWN. THE NEXT DAY WE PUT A NEW BATTERY IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF COURSE IT WAS FRIED. AFTER RESETTING THE CARS COMPUTER BECAUSE THE THROTTLE SENSOR WAS OFF, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN FOR A TOTAL OF 10 MINUTES BEFORE IT STARTED DISINTEGRATING BY SERPENTINE BELT AND UNRAVELING INTO THE CAR. REPLACED THAT, STARTED IT AGAIN FOR IT ONLY TO SAY THAT MY CAR WAS IN BATTERY SAVER MODE AGAIN WITH A BRAND NEW BATTERY. TOOK IT TO O'REILLYS FOR THEM TO TEST THE ALTERNATOR WHILE MY CAR WAS STILL ABLE TO RUN, BECAUSE WITH THIS PARTICULAR CAR THE ALTERNATOR HAS TO BE TESTED ON THE CAR, AND WELL IT WAS NOT RUNNING THE PREVIOUS DAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE ALTERNATOR FROZE UP THERE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER. LONG STORY SHORT MY DODGE CHARGER IS SITTING UNTIL I CAN SAVE UP ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY THE $700 ALTERNATOR! I WILL NEVER BUY A DODGE AGAIN! YOU WOULD THINK THAT IF THIS MANY PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM THEY WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR

UNDER PASSING CONDITIONS WITH HARD AND FAST ACCELERATION THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AND IT FEELS LIKE IT IS DEAD THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ON MANY OCCASIONS I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT. THIS IS REALLY A BAD SITUATION. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND THEY DO NOT BELIEVE ME THAT THIS IS POSSIBLE. THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME THAT THERE IS A STEADY OR CRUISING AND A NEED ARISES FOR PASSING OR GETTING OUT OF TROUBLE. THE GAS PEDAL WOULD BE DEPRESSED QUICKLY AND HARD BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. THE CAR SEEMS LIKE IT DIES AND THEN IT COMES BACK AND STARTS ACCELERATING. THIS TAKES ABOUT A SECOND OR TWO. OTHER TIMES IT GROWLS AND IT DOES NOT MOVE. I HAVE TALKED TO DODGE AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE IT AND FRANKLY THEY THINK THAT I AM TELLING THEM SOMETHING THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE. IN OTHER WORDS THEY DO NOT BELIEVE ME. *TR

2011 DODGE CHARGER. CONSUMER EXPRESSES DISCONTENT CONCERNING CHRYSLER CORPORATION *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND CHRYSLER WAS AWARE THERE WAS AN ISSUE AND NEVER INFORMED HIM. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE VEHICLE HAS A TERRIBLE BLIND SPOT, WHICH WAS RESTRICTIVE, AS HIS BODY TRANSGRESSED HIGHER TOWARDS THE BACK MAKING IT DIFFICULT SEEING LOW HOODS. ALSO, THE REAR WINDOW VIEW WAS HIGHER, APPARENTLY TO ALLOW MORE TRUNK SPACE, WHICH BLOCKED THE CONSUMER FROM SEEING, THE HOOD WHEN BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACES. THE CONSUMER STATED HE COULD BARELY SEE THE SPEEDOMETER, THE NUMBERS WERE A LOT SMALLER AND DIFFICULT TO READ. ALSO, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO ADJUST THE TILT WHEEL. THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAD TO USE EXTRA STRENGTH TO PULL THE WHEEL UP OR DOWN. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A DRAG IN THE VEHICLE, WHEN HE REMOVED HIS FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE WOULD SLOW DOWN MORE RAPIDLY. ALSO, IT WAS EASY TO ACCIDENTALLY MOVE THE SHIFTER INTO A LOWER GEAR. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. *JB

THE DODGE CHARGER IS THE VEHICLE THAT HAS ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. SO FAR I HAVE COME CLOSE TO THREE ACCIDENTS DUE TO LACK OF ACCELERATION. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND NOTICEABLE WHEN YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE GONE TO A DEALER TO REPAIR THIS BUT THEY CANNOT FIX IT SINCE THIS IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM IN THE VEHICLE AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO FIX IT. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT AND TRANSMISSION PROGRAMMING. I CANNOT AFFORD FOR THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN OR CUT OUT ON ME WHEN I NEED TO GET IN TRAFFIC OR ACCELERATE TO GET OUT OF THE TRAFFIC I HAD TO SELECT AVENGER FROM THE WEB SITE. IT DID NOT HAVE CHARGER. *TR
