2017 Dodge Charger Problems

Screen is pushing buttons and overall not working. Turns on heat on seats and will not let me turn them off burning my back with prolong heat. Will turn off my heater and change settings while driving. Has pushed the emergency call button. Changes stations constantly. Doesn’t not allow gos to be used. Tried calling customer services multiple times and it’s is a known issue with almost all and they will not do anything. They pick and choose who’s to fix. Waiting to get a call from dealership if they will inspect it, but dodge will not cover anything they stated. It started very small with just a spot on the screen that wasn’t a big deal but once it started to progress it went fast and became a safety concern.

While driving on the highway with my 14-year-old child as a passenger, the vehicle began shaking/jerking and losing power. I activated hazard lights and exited; the car continued to struggle and is now parked due to safety concerns. O’Reilly scan P0304 (Cylinder 4 misfire). This occurred 12,703 miles after a dealer-performed tune-up (spark plugs x6) at Cable Dahmer CDJR (Kansas City, MO). Same-day after that service I returned, reported drivability issues, and the dealer claimed ‘no problem.’ In Feb 2025 they recommended spark plugs again; in March 2025 management emailed that my ‘tune-up appears it hasn’t been done yet’ (contradicting the invoice). The dealer now refuses to treat this as a continuation without a $199 diagnostic. Vehicle is not being driven due to safety concerns.-Engine/Ignition System-cylinder 4 misfire (spark plug/coil) causing loss of power at highway speed

As I was accelerating out of a stop light on the morning of 7/24/2026, my check engine light came on seemingly out of nowhere. I was able to take the vehicle to an independent repair shop who identified the issue as the plastic oil cooler assembly on the vehicle being broken. My car's oil was completely empty and it would have been but minutes until the engine completely seized up. The oil had spilled into the motor and all other nearby parts of the engine. This puts my safety and others safety at risk because the car showed no other signs of an issue other than the light coming on. Had i not checked it in time, the engine could have seized up at high speeds causing a catastrophic accident. The problem has been observed by the independent repair shop who expresses that they regularly replace these components so frequently they keep a supply in-stock, and are surprised they have not been subject to a recall.

The steering on this vehicle randomly becomes hard to steer during driving. This is very dangerous and the problem should not be occurring in these vehicles so soon. It's electrical power steering, so it's not an easy fix and can really cause accidents with the way it comes and goes while driving.

While coming around a 35mph turn my car shut its self off. Normally it would say please put car in park but it shut off and had to panic and pull hard to make it around the turn. Put car in park then I was able to restart the car.

Burning fuses in fuse box under hood causing charing to the yellow mini fuses and making the headlight go out. There's one seperate fuse for the right headlight and one seperate fuse for the left headlight. There are youtube videos on it also. When you try to contact Dodge about it they brush you off and then send you a survey form by email asking you how was ypur service experience. When you tell them you were never contacted in the survey, they send you another survey. That's an insult.

The driver side door panel is warped, which I'm afraid will cause the air bag to malfunction. The interior has also warped around the the shifter panel and around the sides.

[XXX] [XXX] ] Urgent Safety Concerns with 2017 Dodge Charger Daytona - Complaint [XXX] Hello Dodge Corporate, I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction and deep concern regarding the safety issues I have encountered with my 2017 Dodge Charger Daytona, which I purchased as a brand-new vehicle from Fremont Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. I am reaching out to you as the first owner of this vehicle with genuine worries about its safety features and functionality. Recently, I experienced a terrifying situation while driving my Dodge Charger on the highway. At a speed of 75 mph, the vehicle unexpectedly applied the brakes on its own, putting me and other drivers at significant risk of an accident. This erratic behavior is entirely unacceptable and poses a severe threat to both my safety and the safety of others on the road. Moreover, the issues do not end there. On numerous occasions, my Dodge Charger has exhibited erratic behavior, including failure to accelerate, sudden stalling, and a complete blackout of the dashboard display. Despite repeated attempts to rectify these problems, including multiple battery replacements, the vehicle remains unreliable and unsafe to operate. Additionally, critical safety features such as the backup camera have ceased to function, further compromising my ability to operate the vehicle safely. It is pertinent to note that my Dodge Charger has only accumulated 23,000 miles since its purchase in 2017, indicating that these issues are not a result of normal wear and tear but rather a fundamental flaw in the vehicle's design or manufacturing. My attempts to address these pressing safety concerns with both the Dodge dealer and your corporate customer service department have been met with disappointment and disregard. I was informed that since my vehicle is no longer under warranty, there is nothing that can be done to remedy these life-threatening issues. This response is utterly unacceptable and fails to acknowledge the INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT

My airbag light came on my 2017 charger and I took it to the dealership. The dealership informed me that the seatbelt pretensioner needed to be replaced. The issue posses as a safety risk due to this device pulls a seat belt tight if there is a sudden movement or stop. A seat belt tensioner main factor increases the passenger protection afforded by the safety belts in the case of an accident. I called my extended warranty company and they informed me that they do not cover safety vehicle issues. (I have the preferred policy). I then called Dodge Manufacture warranty and stated the concern I had being it was a safety issue and the representative Atacha stated they will not be able to cover repairs due to there has been no recall even though I express the concern of it being a safety related risk.

THE RIGHT REAR SEAT BELT BECAME LOCKED OUT WHILE UNBUCKLED DURING A STOP AT A RESTAURANT. WE RETURNED TO THE CAR TO FIND IT WOULDN'T RELEASE SO WE COULD BUCKLE UP TO CONTINUE OUR JOURNEY. WE TRIED LOOSENING THE SMALL PART THAT WAS ON A BOOSTER SEAT AND IT RETRACTED BUT STILL REFUSED TO RELEASE. THE SEAT BELT IS UNUSABLE AT THE MOMENT. WILL VISIT A DEALER.

I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2017, A MONTH AGO I NOTICED WHAT LOOKED LIKE A WATERMARK IN THE SCREEN OF MY RADIO, IT IS STRETCHING ACROSS THE SCREEN. I USE THIS TO MAKE PHONE CALLS SINCE WE ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO USE OUR CELL PHONES. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID THAT THE 2017 DODGE CHARGER HAS BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE AND THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND SINCE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE DEFECT THEY SHOULD FIX IT AT NO CHARGE. THEY CAN'T JUST REPLACE THE SCREEN THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE RADIO AND IT IS ALMOST 2,000$. WHEN I CALLED THE DODGE REPAIR SHOP WHERE I LIVE THEY SAID THEY WOULD REACH OUT TO DODGE SINCE THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND SEE IF THEY WOULD FIX IT. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM. *TR

I DISCOVERED A BREAK IN ONE OF THE PLASTIC ' WHEEL SKINS' ON MY CAR. I INQUIRED ABOUT REPLACING THE WHEEL SKIN AND DISCOVERED I CAN'T REPLACE IT AND INSTEAD I WOULD NEED TO BY A NEW RIM INSTEAD. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY RIM SO NO NEED TO REPLACE IT. MY COMPLAINT IS WE ARE MADE TO BUY NEW RIMS WHEN THESE PLASTIC WHEEL SKINS BREAK DOWN EVEN THOUGH OUR RIMS ARE I PERFECTLY GOOD CONDITION.

THE UCONNECT 8.4 INCH SCREEN USED IN A WIDE VARIETY OF DODGE VEHICLES IS HAVING WIDESPREAD PROBLEMS WITH DELAMINATION. MY VEHICLE HAS RECENTLY SEEN BEHAVIOR MOVE FROM COSMETIC TO DANGEROUS FUNCTIONAL BEHAVIOR CHANGES. THE DELAMINATION EVENTUALLY WILL CAUSE "GHOST" OR "PHANTOM" TOUCHES ON THE SCREEN THAT OCCUR WITHOUT ANY ACTUAL USER INPUT. THIS SCREEN CAN ADJUST DRIVE MODES AND SETTINGS THAT IMPACT VEHICLE HANDLING AND POWER DELIVERY. AT WORST, THE CHANGE IN VEHICLE SETTINGS VIA GHOST TOUCHES ON THIS SCREEN COULD CAUSE UNEXPECTED CHANGES IN HANDLING DYNAMICS AND POWER DELIVERY WHICH MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AT SPEED. THIS SCREEN IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTROL OF RADIO AND CLIMATE, WHICH IS LIKELY TO CAUSE DISTRACTED DRIVING AS THE DRIVER ATTEMPTS TO NEGATE OR RECTIFY THE FREQUENT CHANGES BEING MADE WITHOUT THEIR INPUT. THE DEGRADATION OF THE SCREEN SEEMS TO BE A ADHESIVE MATERIAL DEFECT WHICH COULD DRIP ONTO FURTHER ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS BEHIND THE DASH, CAUSING A SHORT OR FURTHER MISBEHAVIOR OF IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS.
