Consumer Description
THE FOLLOWING ARE ISSUES I'M HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE: 1. THE HEADLIGHTS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE THE LIGHT SOCKET BEING MELTED. I RESEARCHED THE MATTER AND IT APPEARS THAT THE 2011 CHARGERS 3.6L HAVE A PROBLEM WHERE THE WIRE HARNESS MELTS FOR THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A FIRE HAZARD. 2. THE ALTERNATOR WENT BAD AT 64,000 MILES IN WHICH IT COMPLETELY KILLED MY BATTERY. NOW I HAVE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS, BATTERY, AND ALTERNATOR. WHAT IS CHRYSLER WAITING ON TO RECALL THESE ISSUES? APPARENTLY THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. DO WE NEED TO WAIT UNTIL SEVERAL CONSUMERS HAVE ACCIDENTS OR MAYBE DIE BEFORE SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT VEHICLES AND THEIR RECALLS? OTHER MANUFACTURERS LIKE TOYOTA, GMC HAVE HAD MANY ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS AND NOW AFTER ALMOST A DECADE THEY ARE RECALLING THE VEHICLES. I HAVE 2 SMALL KIDS THAT COMMUTE TO SCHOOL IN MY VEHICLES DAILY. THESE ISSUES NEED TO BE RECALLED. *TR
