TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL FAILURES THAT PROGRESSED WITHIN MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS AND GAUGES FLICKERED. WHEN THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER, THE DOORS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY LOCK AND WERE UNABLE TO OPEN. IN ADDITION ,THE BRAKES FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN APPLIED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKES AND THE PINION PINS TWICE DUE TO THE WHEELS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BEING AFFECTED DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING TO DETERMINE IF THERE WAS AN OPTION TO TRADE IN OR BUY BACK THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

OUR 2006 DODGE CHARGER WAS SHOWING SYMPTOMS OF THE WHEELS BEING OUT OF ALIGNMENT, AND WE HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC. WE KNEW WHAT HE WAS GOING TO SAY BEFORE HE CAME BACK WITH HIS ASSESSMENT; ITS THE TIE RODS ONCE AGAIN. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TIE RODS ON THIS CAR FROM THE 3RD MONTH OF OWNING IT. WE HAVE HAD IT FIXED BY THE DEALER 3 TIMES ALONG WITH NEW BRAKES AND TIRES AT THE COST OF $2,000 EACH TIME. WE DRIVE 20 MILES A DAY TO AND FROM WORK, THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE TIE RODS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS AN ISSUE THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE AND THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT. HE HAD 4 CHARGERS IN THAT DAY WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED A VIOLENT VIBRATION AND SHAKING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE WHEEL AND TIRE BECAUSE OF DENTS FOUND ON THE WHEEL. AFTER THE TIRE AND WHEEL WAS REPLACED, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT PURCHASED HIS VEHICLE USED FROM THE DEALER ON MARCH 9, 2009. THREE DAYS LATER, THE FRONT WHEELS BEGAN TO SHIMMY BADLY AND THE TRUNK LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT BALANCE THE WHEELS ON THE FRONT END. HE WAS ADVISED TO VISIT A DODGE DEALER; HOWEVER, DODGE COULD NOT BALANCE THE WHEELS AS WELL. CURRENLTY, THE DODGE DEALER IS ATTEMPTING TO REPAIR THE TRUNK ISSUE AND POSSIBLY THE WHEELS AGAIN. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,120.

UPON BRAKING, I EXPERIENCE VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING. TOOK TO A DEALER WHO EXAMINED MY WHEELS AND DETERMINATION IS WARPED FRONT ROTORS. I HAVE 16, 000 MILES ON MY CAR AND WARPED ROTORS? SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED TO REPLACE ROTORS AT CONSUMER EXPENSE. I FEEL AS MANY OTHER DODGE CHARGER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *JB
