THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. ONE, I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF, ENGINE, ALL POWER ETC. SECOND TIME WAS GOING 25 MILES PER HOUR AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED..CAR JUST SHUT OFF...NO POWER STEERING, NO BRAKES...AND WAS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WITH LOTS S OF KIDS OUT AND ABOUT. DEALER SAY NO COMPUTER CODES NO ISSUES. THIS IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE. *TR

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MY CAR WOULD COMPLETELY TURN OFF WHEN TURNING RIGHT. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. EACH TIME, I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE FOUND NOTHING. ON 10/3/2014 APPROXIMATELY 6:10 P.M., I TURNED RIGHT AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN FAYETTEVILLE, NC UNDERGOING SOME TESTS. I FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND AM ASKING THEM TO CHECK THE IGNITION FOR DEFECTS. I HAVE READ THAT THERE WERE OTHER DODGE VEHICLES THAT LOST POWER AND HAVE RESEARCHED THEM TO TAKE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT. IF I WERE TO TRADE THIS VEHICLE IN FOR ANOTHER CAR, I AM AFRAID THE NEXT PURCHASER'S LIFE COULD BE IN DANGER. ONCE IT STOPS, IT TAKES STRONG ARMS TO CONTROL IT WHILE PULLING OVER. I NEED ASSISTANCE IN GETTING TO THE PROBLEM. *TR

ON JUNE 2, 2014 I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WAITING TO TURN WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY WHAT FELT LIKE SOMETHING FALLING OUT OF MY MOTOR. ONCE I TURNED I TURNED OFF ONTO THE SERVICE ROAD TO CHECK WHAT HAPPENED. MY CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO OVER HEAT AND MY GAGE WENT FROM IN BETWEEN THE COOL RANGE TO HOT RANGE. I DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR ANY FURTHER IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANY UNNECESSARY DAMAGES. I CALLED MY HUSBAND WHO THEN CAME TO GET ME AND CHECK THE PROBLEM. HE NOTICED THAT THE FANS ON THE COOLING SYSTEM WERE NOT WORKING. ONE COMPLETELY LOCKED WHICH CAUSED SOME OF THE FANS TO BREAK AND THE OTHER JUST STOPPED WORKING.

WITHIN A YEAR OR SO OF FIRST PURCHASING THE CAR (2007) I NOTICED IT WOULD FEEL LIKE SOMEONE HIT ME FROM BEHIND AS I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND WAS WAITING FOR A LIGHT. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THIS WAS THE ENGINE "BUMPING" TO KEEP IT FROM STALLING. I WOULD EITHER GIVE IT GAS OR PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT WOULD BE OK. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR THE CAR HAS ACTUALLY STALLED ON ME AT THE LIGHTS. I NOTICED THIS MOSTLY AFTER DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70-75 MPH FOR MY 20 MIN DRIVE TO WORK AND AS I SLOWING DOWN TO GET OFF THE EXIT IT SEEMS TO "BUMP" AND NOW "STALL". I HAVE HAD THE CAR STALL THREE TIMES IN A ROW ON A SINGLE INSTANCE RECENTLY WITH THE THIRD TIME IT FINALLY CAUGHT AND DID NOT STALL, BUT I FEARED IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL....

WHILE TRAVELING AT 40+ MPH I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ALL THE WAY, THE DODGE CHARGER RT(5.7L V8) DID NOT REACT AND KEPT ACCELERATING AT THE NORMAL RATE BEFORE I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. SINCE IT WAS NOT REACTING TO MY INPUT, I TOOK MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE VEHICLE KEPT ACCELERATING AT A CONSTANT RATE. THEN AFTER TWO SECONDS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT FULL THROTTLE, IN AUTOMATIC, DOWNSHIFTED, AND CONTINUED TO SPEED UP AT FULL THROTTLE. BRAKES WERE PRESSED BUT SEEMED TO HAVE ZERO EFFECT ON THE VEHICLE'S UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION. FINALLY I DECIDED TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. I THEN SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AGAIN FROM NEUTRAL, AND OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE RESUMED TO NORMAL. FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, LUCKILY, NO CAR WAS IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TIME TO CONTROL THE...

AFTER READING A FORUM ON THIS CAR,IT IS 12 OTHER SAME ISSUES THAT I`VE SEEN AND CALLED TO ASK WHETHER IT`S UNDER RECALL. ALL THE INCIDENTS ARE RECENT. *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO OPERATE. CAR SLOWED PRETTY MUCH TO A STOP AND I HAD TO USE ALL MY STRENGTH TO GET IT TO TURN SO I COULD PULL OVER TO A SAFE PLACE. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND LOCKED UP ON ME. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TOOK THE KEY OUT, PUT THE KEY BACK IN TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED AND THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT THING. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AND IT IS MY ONLY VEHICLE. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CHARGER ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT'S HAPPENED . THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE PEOPLE...

MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER COOLING FAN BROKE AND BUSTED THE RADIATOR I NEED TO IF AND WHEN IT WILL BE UNDER A RECALL. *TR

I HAVE AN 2007 DODGE CHARGER AND I LOVE MY CAR. I GOT IT IN 2007 MY FIRST CAR I HAVE EVER HAD. ONE DAY I WAS ON MY WAY HOME GOING 50 MPH AND MY CAR JUST SLOWED DOWN ON ME AND THE STEARING WHEEL GOT HARD TO TURN. SO I HAD TO PUSH IT OUT OF THAT ROAD AND CALL A TOWNING TRUCK TO PULL IT IN. AFTER PULLING IT IN I HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP. THE GUY LOOKED AND IT AND CALLED AND TOLD ME THA ENGINE WAS BAD. HE SAID IT WAS STRANG THAT IT HAPPEN BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RESON SHOWING WHY IT SHOULD BE BAD. BECAUSE I KELPT THE OIL CHAGED GOT IT SERVIES LIKE I SHOULD.

I WAS ON I-495 LEAVING LONG ISLAND NY , DRIVING AROUND 50-55 MPH WHEN MY 07 DODGE CHARGER 2.7 LITER TURNED OFF ON THE EXTREMELY BUSY FREEWAY. IM USUALLY IN THE FASTLANE , BUT THIS PARTICULAR DAY I WAS TRAVELING IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE. SO NO DAMAGE WAS DONE. THERE ARE NO WARNING INDICATORS OR WARNINGS OF THIS PROBLEM THAT OCCURS , BEFORE OR AFTER. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES THAT THE VEHICLE HAS TURNED OFF WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE ON A GREEN LIGHT. THAT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME MANY REAR END ACCIDENTS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO MANY MECHANICS INCLUDING THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND NO ONE COULD SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS ON THE DODGE CHARGER FORUM WITH THE SAME PROBLEM , AND FEEL THE SAME DANGERS THAT COULD BE CAUSED IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED OR AT LEAST IDENTIFIED. IF...

THIS IS REGARDING A 2007 DODGE CHARGER SRT-8. THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY WHEN I WAS SUDDENLY UNABLE TO ACCELERATE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN "SPUTTERING" AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. I EXITED AT THE NEXT AVAILABLE OFF-RAMP AND CAME TO A STOP AT WHICH POINT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I WAS UNABLE TO START IT AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER/DODGE DEALERSHIP/SERVICE CENTER AND AFTER ABOUT A WEEK I WAS INFORMED THAT THE #2 CYLINDER HAD 0 PSI COMPRESSION. THEY SAID THEY HAD TO OPEN THE ENGINE TO GET FURTHER INFORMATION AS TO WHY IT HAD NO COMPRESSION. AFTER OPENING THE ENGINE, THEY FOUND THAT THE VALVE SEAT FOR THE #2 CYLINDER WAS WARN AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. GIVEN THAT THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 70K MILES ON IT, I...

VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT SEVERAL TIMES SINCE MY PURCHASE. VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT IN 2009 WITH APPROXIMATELY 13500 MILES ON IT. IT STALLED THE FIRST TIME ABOUT A MONTH LATER. SINCE THEN IT HAS STALLED APPROXIMATELY TEN TIMES. EACH TIME IT OCCURS WHEN SLOWING FOR A STOP, OR WHILE ACTUALLY STOPPED. THE ENGINE WILL SHUTTER LIKE IT IS BEING CHOKED. IT WILL THEN REV SLIGHTLY AND THEN CUT OFF. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN DIFFERENT WEATHER CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES. CONTACT WITH LOCAL DEALER HAS NOT PRODUCED ANY ANSWERS. THEY SAY THE PROBLEM HAS TO BE REPLICATED HOWEVER IT DOES NOT OCCUR WITH ANY CERTAIN FREQUENCY. SEVERAL OTHER RELATED COMPLAINTS CAN BE FOUND ON THE INTERNET WITH NO SOLUTION. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION, THE CAR STARTED STUTTERING AND LATER ON STALLED AT A RED LIGHT IN THE CITY. HAS BECOME THIS WAY ONLY AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK COMPLETELY, IT WILL STUTTER AND SOMETIMES STALL AT COMPLETE STOPS. I HAVE STOPPED FROM FILLING UP COMPLETELY TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS NOW. IT IS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER RT RWD. *TR

ABOUT 40K MILES INTO OWNING THE CAR I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR STALLED OUT. ONCE I PULLED OVER I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR BUT WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NOW APPEARING. THE CAR MADE IT THE REST OF MY DESTINATION BUT HAS NOT BEEN THE SAME SINCE. THAT WAS 5 YEARS AGO. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. THERE APPEARS TO BE LITTLE POWER LEFT WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS THE CAR RESPONDS BUT WILL IDLE DOWN AND FEEL CLOSE TO STALLING OUT EVEN WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I TOOK TO DODGE AND THEY REPLACED A PART THAT COST ME $800 TO FIX (INTAKE MANIFOLD TUNING VALVE). OF COURSE THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OF FOR ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE IT CAME ON AGAIN. THEY DID NOT WANT TO HELP ME...

MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER WAS RENDERED INOPERABLE WHEN THE ENGINE COOLING FAN BLADES SEPARATED UNEXPECTEDLY, CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE RADIATOR. THIS INCIDENT ULTIMATELY RESULTED IN ENGINE FAILURE. WHEN THIS INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO THE CHRYSLER GROUP, THE CASE MANAGER WAS INFORMED OF A RECALL THAT ADDRESSED THIS SAME ISSUE. PLEASE REFER TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION L08 ENGINE COOLING FANS. THIS NOTIFICATION CAUTIONS OWNERS THAT THE ELECTRICALLY POWERED RADIATOR COOLING FANS ON ABOUT 52,000 OF THE REFERENCED VEHICLES (INCLUDE 2007 DODGE CHARGER) MAY SEPARATE DURING FAN OPERATION AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE RADIATOR. THIS EXACT FAILURE OCCURRED TO MY VEHICLE COSTING ME IN EXCESS OF $2000 BUT THE CHRYSLER GROUP REFUSED TO OFFER ASSISTANCE DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY VIN FELL OUTSIDE OF THE RANGE TO THE VINS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I REQUEST THAT A THE EXISTING RECALL BE EXPANDED...

I WAS DRIVING HOME ALONG WITH MY WIFE FROM RUNNING ERRANDS WHEN MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPHS PER HOUR. I CALLED AAA TO COME AND TOW MY VEHICLE. THEY DID JUST THAT AND THE SERVICE-CONTRACTED TOWING COMPANY FOR AAA DROPPED MY DODGE CHARGER RT OFF TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP THAT I'M ACCUSTOMED TO GOING. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED HEAVILY FROM THE ENGINE PROBLEM. SO HE TOOK OUT THE OLD BATTERY I HAD AND PUT IN A NEW BATTERY. ONCE HE DID THAT HE TRIED TO GET THE DODGE CHARGER RT TO START BUT THERE WAS NO LUCK. BUT EVENTUALLY SOME ELECTRICAL POWER WAS RESTORED TO A LEVEL IN ORDER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO BE PERFORMED. ONCE THIS MECHANIC COMPLETED THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST HE TOLD ME THAT THE CODES HE RECEIVED ARE IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2007...

REVERSE WENT OUT IN TRANSMISSION. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF ANY SORT. HAD NO IDEA THAT I EVEN HAD ANY PROBLEMS. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR ALMOST A MONTH WHILE STILL HAVING TO MAKE PAYMENTS AND FIND ANOTHER WAY OF GETTING AROUND.VEHICLE WAS JUST OVER A YEAR OLD. GOT THE VEHICLE BACK AND THE REVERSE WENT OUT IN THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN AS WELL AS THE REAR MAIN SEAL LEAKING. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR MORE REPAIRS AND WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE AGAIN FOR ALMOST A MONTH. NOW, THE MOTOR IS KNOCKING AND SKIPPING AND VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 95,000 MILES. THESE CARS ARE LEMONS AND I DON'T KNOW HOW CHRYSLER CORPORATION IS GETTING AWAY WITH THIS AND I SURE DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE BUYING A DODGE. WISH I HAD NEVER BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND SOMEBODY NEEDS TO STEP UP...
