All four axles and spindle nuts are literally decaying and crumbling. Its to the point the guy at the tire shop said its not safe. Being a awd vehicle it puts a lot of strain on the hubs. The car only has 65,000 miles on it.
WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE THEIR IS A KNOCKING NOISE IN MY FRONT RIGHT WHEEL, ALMOST SOUNDS AS IF SOME BOLTS ARE LOOSE. ALSO WHEN PULLING IN TO BACK UP, WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL A CERTAIN WAY THEIR IS A FUNNY CLICKING SOUND IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND FUNNY SOUND IN THE BRAKE WHEN I AM BACKING MY CAR INTO MY DRIVE WAY. I BELIEVE THAT THIS MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH A RECALL THAT HASN'T BEEN LOOKED INTO.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. WHEN THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM DON BROWN CHEVROLET (2244 S KINGS HIGHWAY BLVD, ST. LOUIS, MO 63110, 314-772-1400), THEY WERE NOT INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V332000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). WHILE MAKING A STOP, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS. THE SERVICE CENTER MANAGER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. A DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO PROPERLY ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO IDLE HIGHLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND MANEUVER THE SWITCH FUNCTION DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED 61 SAFETY ALERTS TO A DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEVICE READER SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WANTED A BUY BACK OR A TRADE IN OPTION IF THE MANUFACTURER WAS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
I HAD A SMALL AIR LEAK IN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE. I TOOK IT TO GET THE TIRE REPAIRED, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE WHEEL WAS ACTUALLY CRACKED. I TOOK THE CAR TO GET THE RIM REPAIRED, AND IT WAS MAINTAINING PRESSURE. I DID NOT CHECK THE OTHER WHEELS, AS THEY WERE MAINTAINING PRESSURE. APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS LATER, I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING DOWN A LOCAL HIGHWAY (APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH), WHERE THE CAR STARTED SHAKING, AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER RIM WAS CRACKED AS WELL, WHICH LED TO WHEEL FAILURE AND A BLOWOUT. ULTIMATELY, I ENDED UP IN A CONCRETE WALL AND THE CAR WAS TOTALED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PAINT BUBBLED ON THE RIMS OF ALL FOUR TIRES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,361. UPDATED 07/18/17*LJ *CN

I HAVE A 2014 DODGE CHARGER SXT WITH THE 3.6 V6 ENGINE AND THE NEW 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY; WHEN IT IS COLD, THE ENGINE WILL REV-UP BETWEEN SHIFTS, AND IT HAS SEVERE DOWNSHIFTS. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE,(AMBIENT AND VEHICLE), IS NORMAL THE UP-SHIFT PROBLEM GOES AWAY BUT THE DOWNSHIFTING PROBLEM STILL REMAINS,(AT TIMES)! I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK FOR REPAIRS 3 TIMES ,(FOR THIS PROBLEM), AND NOTHING HAS HELPED. THIS IS A VERY NICE VEHICLE AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO KEEP IT AND ENJOY IT , BUT THIS PROBLEM IS SURE RUINING AN OTHERWISE NICE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN VERY TROUBLESOME SINCE IT`S INTRODUCTION AND I AM WONDERING IF A RECALL IS PENDING?? IF NOT, IT SHOULD BE!!!!!!! THE LAST TIME I LET THE VEHICLE WITH MY DEALER , THEY SAID THAT THEY "COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM", EVEN THOUGH THE TECHNICIAN THAT ALWAYS WORKS ON MY VEHICLES, ADMITS THAT HE HEARD AND FELT THE PROBLEMS THAT I DESCRIBE. I MADE A COMPLAINT TO CHRYSLER AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME TO GET LOST ! THEY SAID THAT THE SERVICE MANAGER, (AT THE DEALERSHIP), SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE, THAT IS THE WAY THIS TRANSMISSION IS SUPPOSED TO OPERATE !!!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE !!!!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, MY TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP/SKIP AND STARTED TO SHIFT VERY ROUGHLY FROM THAT POINT. AFTER A FEW VISITS TO MY DEALER AND AFTER THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR A WEEK, IT WAS THEN DETERMINED THAT THE VALVE BODY INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACED, AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT GIVE RENTAL CARS OUT DUE TO THE VEHICLE STILL BEING DRIVABLE. (WTF?) THE PART NEEDED TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION IS ON BACKORDER AND CHRYSLER CURRENTLY DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE IT IN BECAUSE IT HAS TO COME FROM A VENDOR, SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A $40000 PAPER WEIGHT IN MY DRIVEWAY UNTIL CHRYSLER GETS OFF THEIR SORRY BUTTS TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. DUE TO THIS PART BEING ON BACKORDER, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON PROBLEM THAT I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE A RECALL. *TR
THERE IS HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION BETWEEN MILE MARKER 314-320 INTERSTATE 65 NORTH BOUND. I WAS APPROX DRIVING IN THE LEFT HAND LANE AT 4:15PM ON WEDNESDAY JUNE 11 2014. I WAS GOING APPROACHING THE OVERPASS AND THERE WAS NO TRANSITION ASPHALT ON REMOVED THE REMOVED EXISTING ROAD AND THE 3 INCH STEP UP TO THE OVERPASS BRIDGE. NO VISIBLE SIGNS FOR WARNINGS. I HIT THE CURB AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICE A VIBRATION ON MY LEFT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. APPROACH 100 YDS FROM THE OVERPASS,THERE WERE 2 OTHER CARS (2007 MERCEDES BENZ E300 AND OLDER MODEL CHEVY PICKUP) CHANGING FLAT TIRES, DUE TO THIS UNLEVELED TRANSITION. MAKING IT HOME TO HUNTSVILLE I HAD A 1 INCH V SHAPE DINT IN MY RIM BUSTED TIRE AND ALIGNMENT OFF. I CALLED AND ORDERED A NEW RIM, HOWEVER THEY SENT ME A EMAIL STATING THE RIMS ARE DISCONTINUED. SO LEAVING ME TO HAVE TO ORDER NEW RIMS AND TIRES FOR MY CAR. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS MATTER TO BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE PICTURES AND RECEIPTS OF EVERYTHING., *TR
