NHTSA Complaint #10870817 — 2013 DODGE CHARGER

I HAVE A 2013 DODGE CHARGER V6. AT AROUND 45K MILES I NOTICED A WOBBLY SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF MY CAR WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AT A SLOW SPEED. THE CAR DIDN'T FEEL OR DRIVE WOBBLY IT JUST SOUNDED WOBBLY. BECAUSE MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO PAY THE OUTRAGEOUS FEE THE DEALERSHIP WOULD CHARGE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SO I TOOK IT TO LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP INSTEAD. THEY TOLD ME THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS A BIT SURPRISED TO LEARN THIS BECAUSE BUSHINGS GOING OUT AT ONLY 45K MILES IS VERY PREMATURE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE TO FIND THAT LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. POLICE OFFICERS WHO DRIVE 2009 - 2014 DODGE CHARGERS ARE HAVING TO REPLACE THE TENSION STRUTS ON BOTH SIDES EVERY 15-20 THOUSAND MILES DUE THE BUSHINGS BEING TORN. CHRYSTLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF REPLACING THESE PARTS NOT THE CONSUMER.
