2012 DODGE CHARGER Power Train Problems

While driving my 2012 dodge charger at times it pops out of driving going into neutral. It happens when I'm on the hwy or in town. And the air bags has illuminated on the dash and it is at the dealership, and I was told, I have to pay for everything out of pocket.To replace it, popping out of gear while driving and the airbags. The dealership is not going to warranty anything because it's past. It does it off and on, and I don't know when it's going to happen. Popping in and out of gear. So I took it to the [XXX] 4025 Cleveland Blvd Caldwell Idaho. 83605. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Can not put car into park i have took it to normals dealership and referred to me that it's a recall issue.

I purchased a 2012 Dodge Charger shortly after tha it just stopped working. It was perfectly fine and then it just wouldn't start. It only turned on to accessory mode. The lights ,radio,ac, ect. turned on but the vehicle did no. The brake pedal was very hard couldn't be pushed down. On the dashboard a red lightning bolt symbol with two parentheses appeared. I got it towed the dealership send the problem was the battery and the key fob. I picked it up it was fine and then a few days later while driving on the highway it suddenly started to lose power and completely stopped. same red lightning bolt symbol appeared.I barely made it to the side of the road. I had my son with me. It was a very scary situation our lives were in danger as well as the other drivers behind me because of the sudden...

Lifter failure is causing metal shavings from the cam to fall into the engine block and cause the engine to fail. This is a known problem with these cars and nothing is being done about it by the manufacturer.

My ac was working decent, not how it should be, when I first got the vehicle. Now, the ac just blows warm air, no recirculation for feet setting. I am getting the code P0741 and it doesn't change.

Service power steering warning comes on, causes my gauge cluster to go blank & dark, I lose A/C, power steering, headlights work intermittently, blinkers & all steering wheel button options stop working, and my transmission will start downshifting shifting erratically. It downshifts so hard I'm afraid I'll lose control of my car. Yesterday I had a message pop up saying it was going into Power Saving Mode. When the power steering warning is on, my A/C will have half the vents blowing cold air, the other half blowing hot heater air. During the winter my heated seats only worked intermittently. All of these issues are related to the past recalls on my car that were supposedly fixed; however, the problems are still occurring. Can somebody please contact me about these recalls and tell me what I should do? Thank you!

Oct, 2022 my car did not shift out of park so I googled my car and the problem, So it said it was my monostable shifter modular. I towed it to A Transmission mechanic and they did a full body diagnostic test and I was told all I needed was to buy a new transmission shifter modular and a PCM to get my car running again. I did not have the $ 4,200 for them to fix my car so I had it towed back home. Now as of today my car is not running still because of the transmission shifter modular and PCM I bought brand new Installed myself and for some odd reason the electrical started flickering as if maybe the wiring is wrong or something. Now there was already a recall on the following repairs I've done and yet its documented in the recall system that all...

Vehicle will shift into Neutral while driving while the gear shift is still in Drive. This happens multiple times throughout the week with speeds varying from 35-50 mph. I have not noticed if the road condition makes a difference, I have gone downhill, up hill, around corners, etc and it will randomly shift into neutral. I cannot recreate the issue, it just happens at random.

Almost caused a accident because coming to a fast braking my wheels were uncontrollable and swerving .

service shifter error and powerstwering warning light turned on

My 2012 Dodge Charger was bought used and it had been recently repaired and recalls performed on it. (The dealership was nice to point that out to me.) in Dec 2020 Wa. state. I have had nothing but problems with it. About a month later I had smelled smoke. I had my car scanned and it said camshaft needed to be replaced. So I did. It has stalled and seized up without warning. I was only going 40 miles an hour when the steering went hard( could not move or control it) The dashboard went black and I tried to pull it to the shoulder. The engine was still on. I would put the gas on ... but it had died. There was one other vehicle on the road at that time following me. He went around just in time. This not only happened once but two times. Since the...

EVERY NOW AND AGAIN I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR WHEN I'M DRIVING. I CAN JUST BE DRIVING AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW MY CAR WILL GO INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN AND I WILL LITERALLY HAVE TO PULL OVER WHEREVER I'M AT. ONCE I'M PULLED OVER I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND CUT IT OFF. IT WON'T START BACK UP RIGHT AWAY CAUSE THE BRAKE BE FEELING LIKE IT'S LOCKED. AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WILL START BACK UP AND DRIVE LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM BUT IT'S DANGEROUS. MAJORITY OF THE TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS IN CITY LIMITS BUT THIS LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70MPH. *TR

SEALED TRANSMISSION MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO ADJUST FLUID LEVELS THAT CAN KEEP TRANSMISSION FROM FREEZING AND LOCKING UP. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE HAS A HORRIBLE BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND SHIFTING IS BECOMING IRRADIC WITH CAN CAUSE TRAFFIC ISSUES. IT OCCURS MOSTLY IN TOWN DRIVING AFTER STOPPING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME (STREET LIGHTS). RECENTLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE P0208 CODE.

WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, VEHICLE DISPLAYED WARNING LIGHTS AND STALLED. WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE THE GEAR SHIFT WAS LOCKED IN PARK POSITION. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD LOCKED UP. I AM AWARE THAT THERE WAS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION SENT OUT BY CHRYSLER, BUT WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT IT AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE DIDN'T FALL UNDER THAT NOTIFICATION.
