2010 DODGE CHALLENGER Power Train Problems

The clutch stick broke while driving and putting it on gear.

The Gen III hemi has an inherent design flaw in which the rollers making contact with the camshaft will fail, causing damage to the camshaft and causing the engine to misfire. This is due to the camshaft being moved away from the crankshaft as it causes oil starvation. After extensive research it appears to affect cars of various miles and workload. There is no single cause that makes this happen other than a grievous design flaw. The main complaint is that you experience total power loss at higher revs, making it dangerous to drive on the interstate or attempting to merge into traffics as the engine begins to shudder and lose most power. Whether it’s 40K miles or 110K miles, the flaw does not discriminate. After numerous attempts to reach Chrysler technical service on how to prevent this, I’ve been ignored and case numbers deleted. Now this is very important....

CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 60 MPH. SEEMS LIKE LOSES POWER AND FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF. HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTARTS WITH NO ISSUES. KIND OF DANGEROUS WHEN YOU LOSE POWER TO BRAKES AND STEERING TOO.

2014 TIMING BELT WAS RECALLED AND APPARENTLY REPAIRED. CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND THEN ENGINE SEIZED. HAD IT TOWED AND SERVICE SAID IT WAS TIMING BELT AGAIN AND NOW ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CALLED DODGE, THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN OR WANT TO DO.

A RECALL WAS PERFORMED IN 2015 REGARDING A TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. THIS CAR SAT IN A DEALER LOT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND RARELY DRIVE IT. A TIMING CHAIN FAILURE STALLED ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. A CHRONIC ISSUE ACCORDING TO MOST FORUMS, EVEN AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 73,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED REGARDLESS OF MONTHS,OF THE FACT THAT IT WAS MORE THAN 24 MONTHS. IT IS A VERY LOW MILEAGE CAR FOR THE YEAR AND THIS IS ON ONGOING ISSUE FROM THESE VEHICLES FROM 2009-2012.

ACCELERATED / STUCK TO FLOOR GOING DOWN HIGHWAY. WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE THROTTLE WAS STUCK WOULD NOT RELEASE. THIS HAPPENED WHILE WE WERE PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY WITH SHIFTING TO AND FROM SECOND GEAR, AND THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION SEALS, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE A REMEDY TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT SOLUTION. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO PROGRESS AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MARTIN DODGE JEEP CHRYSLER RAM (2209 SCOTTSVILLE RD, BOWLING GREEN, KY 42104-4105, (270) 846-0600) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DEALER REPLACED THE COMPUTER ONCE, BUT THE COMPUTER FAILED AGAIN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS REQUIRED AND THE PART MAY NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION AT 47,000 MILES IS HAVING A VERY HARD TIME SHIFTING INTO AND OUT OF GEAR AT IDLE. WITH CLUTCH PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR IT WILL NOT GO INTO OR OUT OF FIRST GEAR OR REVERSE. AFTER GETTING IT INTO GEAR AND DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FINE. THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH AND GREASE USED ON THIS YEAR MODEL

SHIFTING ISSUE WITH MANUAL 2010 CHALLENGER R/T. EXPERIENCING A NIBBLE WHEN SHIFTING AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T SHIFT INTO 3RD WHEN COLD. MATCHES THE DESCRIPTION FROM OTHER 2009-2010 DRIVERS IN ON-LINE CHALLENGER FORUMS UNDER STAR CASE # K38556860 & S1021000004 (BAD GREASE USED ON TR-6060. MY LOCAL DEALER AND CHRYSLER WARRANTY HOTLINE CLAIM TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT.

HELLO! HARD SHIFTING 6SPEED MANUAL: I HAVE BEEN HAVING SHIFTING PROBLEMS WITH MY MANUAL TRANS FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. IT STARTED BACK IN NOV 11 WHEN TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN,GOT STUCK IN TRAFFIC AND CLUTCH STARTED TO NOT DISINGAUGE ALL THE WAY (WOULD CREEP) HAD TO HOLD FOOT ON BRAKE OR PUT IN NEUTRAL EVEN AFTER PULLING OFF THE ROAD. LATTER WHEN COMING HOME BAKED INTO PARKING SPACE TURN KEY OFF WANTED TO PUT IN OTHER GEAR WAS VERY HARD TO PULL OUT OF REVERSE. HAS GOTTEN WORSE, IT IS GETTING HARDER TO SHIFT WHILE DRIVING. MY WIFE WENT TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD VERY HARD TIME GOING INTO LOWER GEAR ALMOST GETTING HIT IN THE REAR.DODGE SAYS WORN CLUTCH,BUT IT DOESN'T SLIP, BUT THEY HAVE A NOTICE ABOUT GREASE BEING ON INPUT SPLINE THATS THE CLUTCH SLIDES ON GETTING DIRTY FROM TO MUCH GREASE AND DIRT,...

WHEN SHIFTING INTO 2ND GEAR SOMETIMES WONT LET THE GEAR GO INTO SLOT AND HAVE TO FORCE IT IN AND OUT. DODGE HAS A STAR CASE #K38556860 BUT IS NOT RECALLING THIS ISSUE AND FORCING THE BUYER TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. THE POWERTRAIN WARRENTY IS OUT OF DATE HOWEVER THERE ARE SO MANY OF THIS ISSUE ONLINE WHEN YOU SEARCH FOR IT THAT IT SEEMS DODGE SHOULD HAVE ALREADY MADE THIS A RECALL SINCE IT SEEMS THE MADE THE CORRECT FIX THE YEAR AFTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND THE TRANSMISSION WARNING SIGNAL ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE WARNING SIGNAL LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE RESULT WAS A P0730-IMPROPER GEARING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,500.

HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER WITH LESS THAN 40,000 MILES. TOOK CAR TO SHOP AT DODGE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON (AT 38,000 MILES). AFTER NOT DIAGNOSING MY CAR CORRECTLY ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THEY FINALLY "DETERMINED" THAT THE CAR NEEDED A NEW POWER MODULE, AND SEVERAL ENGINE SENSORS WERE FAULTY AND NOT WORKING. *TR

HARD SHIFTING SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHEN STOPPED THE CAR FAILS TO ENGAGE FIRST GEAR AND IS ALSO EXTREMELY HARD TO GET INTO REVERSE. BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR A FEW DAYS NOW AND IS GETTING HARDER TO SHIFT WHILE DRIVING.DODGE HAS A STAR CASE NOTICE (STAR CASE # [XXX]-BAD GREASE IN THE 2009 TREMECS) ABOUT GREASE ON THE INPUT SHAFT SPLINE THAT THE CLUTCH SLIDES ON GETTING DIRTY FROM TOO MUCH GREASE AND DIRT WHICH MAKES THE DISC STICK AND NOT FULLY DISENGAGING.THIS TRANSMISSION IS ALSO IN THE NEW CHEVY CAMARO AND FORD MUSTANG SO IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION MANUFACTURER TREMEC. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT OR ASSEMBLY LINE DEFECT AND SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH INJURY OCCUR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WAS DRIVING ON 4TH OF JULY FOR A HOLIDAY CELEBRATION. SHIFTED FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR AT 35 MPH AND THE SHIFTER HANDLE BROKE OFF. I HAD TO VERY CAREFULLY TURN AROUND AND DRIVE HOME WITH THIS BROKEN SHIFTER HANDLE. AT ONE POINT THE HANDLE CAME OUT OF THE MOUNT AND I HAD TO FIND THE HOLE AGAIN FOR THE SHIFT HANDLE WITH THE DUST BOOT OBSCURING MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING. SINCE IT WAS A HOLIDAY WEEKEND I DECIDED THIS WAS A TIME TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER HANDLE WITH THE HURST SHIFTER HANDLE SUPPLIED BY DODGE AS A PART OF MY AUTO PURCHASE USING MOPAR BUCKS. AFTER I INSTALLED THIS STRONGER SHIFTER/HANDLE I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER TO SHOW THEM THE OBVIOUS SAFELY HAZARD FROM THE BROKEN SHIFTER HANDLE. THE DEALER TOOK THIS OPPORTUNITY TO RIDICULE ME AND MAKE IT APPEAR THAT I MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING...

MY 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T ROUGHLY SAT FOR 2-3 WINTER MONTHS, DRIVEN 2-3 TIMES DURING THAT PERIOD. WHILE STARTING IT UP IN FEBRUARY THE CAR STARTED THEN STALLED OUT. I TURNED THE KEY BACK TO OFF AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR. I WAS GETTING ON TO THE HIGHWAY MAKING A RIGHT TURN. AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN, MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 35-40MPH THE CAR STALLED AND I HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I RESTARTED AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE AS NORMAL FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. ON FRIDAY MARCH 29TH 2013, I STARTED THE CAR AND IT STALLED AGAIN. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND WENT ON MY WAY TO WORK. I WAS MERGING FROM ONE HIGHWAY TO ANOTHER DOING ABOUT 40-45MPH ON THE ONRAMP WHEN THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE MEDIAN WHILE 3 CARS ALMOST REAR ENDED...

2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SE, RIGHT REAR CV BOOT RIPPED AND LEAKED GREASE ONTO THE TAIL PIPE AND PASSENGER SIDE, AND WHICH CAUSED A FIRE TO THE TRUNK. VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS, NO REPAIRS CAN BE MADE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE VEHICLE MADE A POP SOUND AND LOST POWER. I WAS FORCED OFF THE HIGHWAY AS THERE WERE NO SHOULDERS AND HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE ACROSS TRAFFIC TO SAFETY. THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAILED, RESULTING IN THE TIMING CHAIN BREAKING. THIS RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE UPPER PORTION OF THE MOTOR, INCLUDING ALL INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVES, MARRING ON THE PISTONS AND CRACKED HEADS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 CHALLENGER RT 4.7L HEMI ON THE CA 15 FREEWAY AT 70 MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN. THE WARNING LIGHTS FOR ENGINE AND OIL CAME ON AND I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP. STEERING AND BRAKES REMAINED OPERATIONAL AND LUCKILY I MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER AS THE 15 FREEWAY IS EXTREMELY BUSY AND FAST. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A NEARBY DODGE DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY PLASTIC TIMING CHAIN GUIDES HAD DISINTEGRATED AND CAUSED A BLOWN ENGINE. THE CAR REPAIRS (REBUILT ENGINE) WERE COVERED UNDER THE 100K MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BUT TOOK 4 WEEKS TO COMPLETE. THE CAR HAD 54K FREEWAY MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, WAS REGULARLY MAINTAINED, AND NEVER SHOWED ANY INDICATIONS THAT A SEVERE ISSUE WOULD HAVE BEEN FORTHCOMING. I NOW QUESTION THE LONGEVITY OF THE NEW REBUILT ENGINE AS SAME TIMING CHAIN ASSEMBLY PARTS WERE...

I'VE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS MANY HAVE DESCRIBED WHEN YOUR CHALLENGER LOSES ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT LOW SPEEDS. LUCKILY I WAS PULLING INTO A CAR WASH WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND NOT AT MY SONS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHERE THE DEADLY POTENTIAL OF KILLING SCHOOL KIDS WAS THERE...BY THE WAY I WAS ON THE WAY TO PICK UP MY KID WHEN I MADE A LAST MINUTE CHOICE TO GET A QUICK WASH. SO AS STATED BY EVERYONE ELSE HERE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AN WAS ABLE TO START RIGHT BACK UP AFTERWARDS. NOT KNOWING THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT OTHERS WERE HAVING, I OPENED THE HOOD AND STARTED LOOKING FOR LOSE CABLES OR POPPED CAPS AND SUCH AND FINDING NOTHING. ALSO PRIOR TO TURNING THE CAR OFF I JUMPED INTO THE HIDDEN EPIC MENUS AND TOOK PICTURES OF THE IMPORTANT DATA SUCH...

WIFE WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN OFF OF A BUSY STREET (40 MPH SPEED LIMIT, INTO MY HOME NEIGHBORHOOD) WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY DIES, STEERING & BRAKES GO HARD, OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATES, AND SHE HAD TO COAST TO A STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, PRESS THE START BUTTON (EVEN THOUGH DASH MESSAGE SAID "KEY FOB NOT FOUND"), CAR RE-STARTS, AND SHE CONTINUED 1/2 MILE TO OUR HOME. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE LETTING MY WIFE OR KIDS DRIVE THIS CAR WHEN THE PROBABILITY OF IT DYING IS VERY POSSIBLE. I JUST DROVE THE CAR UP THE NARROW MOUNTAIN PASSES TO BIG BEAR, CA (8,000 FT ELEVATION) & BACK 3 DAYS AGO,...

MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION (LESS THAN 20 MPH) WHEN CAR STALLS, OIL LIGHT ILLUMINATES, AND POWER STEERING & BRAKES BECOME ALMOST UNUSABLE. HAD TO STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY, PUT CAR IN PARK, PUSH THE START BUTTON, AND CONTINUE ON TO MY DESTINATION. THIS IS THE 1ST TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 9 TO 12 MPH, HE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE FURTHER, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,300. UPDATED 08/31/11 *BF UPDATED 2/9/12 *CN

2010 SRT8 CHALLENGER STALLS AFTER RUNNING HIGHWAY SPEEDS (70-80 MPH) ON SLOW DOWN AS TO GET OFF A EXIT RAMP, OR TO TURN INTO A REST STOP, GAS STATION. PROPER SPEED TO GEAR RATIO ASSUMED. CLUTCH FULLY SUPPRESSED OR WHILE MOVING. ALSO STALLS ON TAKE OFF (TRAFFIC LIGHT, STOP SIGN) IN ROLLING CONDITION, AGAIN PROPER SPEED TO GEAR RATIO ASSUMED. IDENTIFIERS: LOW OIL LIGHT, NO STEERING, ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES OF A STALLED VEHICLE. SOMETIMES WILL START IMMEDIATELY SOMETIMES NOT. DEALER STATES NO CODES NO ISSUES. *TR

THE CAR STALLS WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAVE HAD IT STALL IN TRAFFIC AND AT INTERSECTIONS AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT A FEW TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES IN THE 4500 MILES ON THE CAR. IT IS VERY SCARY. THE DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR FOR OVER TWO WEEKS WITH NO END IN SIGHT. THE LAST OCCURRENCE WAS ON THE 13TH OF AUGUST. THE CAR SOMETIMES WILL NOT MOVE AFTER IT IS RESTARTED AND MUST BE TURNED ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT WILL DRIVE. *TR

2010 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHILE TURNING RIGHT CAR STALLS AND COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF REQUIRING THE CAR TO BE PUT INTO PARK AND RESTARTED. FORTUNATELY ON BOTH OCCASIONS MY WIFE WAS NOT REAR ENDED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE OWNING THE CAR. DEALERSHIP WAS "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE" THE ISSUE AND NO FIX IS KNOWN. SRT ENGINEERS HAVE STATED IN ONLINE FORUMS THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ARE WORKING ON A FIX. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL DODGE VEHICLE MODELS, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF OWNERS POSTING STORIES ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR
