BRAKES- TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE OF MY CAR ISN'T HEATED UP TO THE THIRD LINE. ENGINE- LOUD TICKING. MECHANIC SAID 1 OUT OF 12 LIFTERS IN DRIVER'S SIDE CYLINDER HAS COLLAPSED. POWER TRAIN- WHEN I ACCELERATE IN OVER DRIVE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR A COUPLE DAYS. WHEN I DIAGNOSE IT, IT SAYS TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE. (OVERDRIVE FAILURE) SO I'M GUESSING I HAVE NO OVERDRIVE UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHUTS BACK OFF. (WHO KNOWS) DODGE/CHRYSTLER NEEDS TO CHECK INTO THE QUALITY OF THE CARS THEY'RE PRODUCING. I WILL NEBER BUY ANOTHER DODGE/CHRYSTLER/JEEP

STARTED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. WHEN GOING FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR CAR RPM WOULD SPIKE HIGH THEN VIOLENTLY SHIFT GEARS. PAST FEW MONTHS IT'S STARTING TO DO IT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR ALSO. ALSO SOMETIMES WILL NOT DOWN SHIFT TO FIRST GEAR AFTER COMING TO COMPLETE STOP. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WILL START OFF IN SECOND GEAR WILL NOT SHIFT FROM 3RD TO 4TH AT ALL AND WILL NOT LET YOU SHIFT MANUALLY. HAVE TO PULL OVER PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN CAR OFF. THIS HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM IN THE PAST BUT IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND DODGE REALLY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO MAKING THINGS RIGHT.

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT HAD A TICK I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WHAT WAS THAT THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A (HEMI TICK) THAT ALL CHARGERS HAD THAT SOUND SO I DROVE IT TO AROUND 100, 000 MILES AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT BEGIN TO MAKE THIS LOUD NOISE SOUNDING LIKE A TRUCK .

P60 RECALL: YESTERDAY, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR 2013 DODGE CHARGER WHEN THE BATTERY LIKE CAME ON. NOTHING ELSE HAPPENED THEN, BUT ABOUT 15 SECONDS LATER - - EVERYTHING ON THE DASH STARTED FLASHING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON, THE CAR STARTED TO JERK AND THEN EVERYTHING DIED. HE MANAGED TO COAST INTO OUR DRIVEWAY - LUCKILY WAS HEADED HOME FROM WORK AND ONLY DOING 20MPH. NO WARNING - NO NOTHING. JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN - ENTIRE SYSTEM FAILURE. NO POWER STEERING OR ANYTHING. KIND OF A ELECTRICAL SMELL IN THE CAR. AT FIRST, WE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THE BATTERY WAS LOOSE OR SOMETHING OR BAD GROUND. CHECKED THAT. TRIED JUMPING - TERMINALS STARTED SMOKING. DID A SEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT OUR VIN IS SHOWING AN UNREPAIRED P60 RECALL. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING - NOW BEING TOLD THAT IT MAY BE THE P60 RECALL, BUT WE CAN'T...

THE NUMBER 6 PISTON IS MISFIRING AND CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK. THE PART IN OTHER 2013 CHARGERS HAS BEEN RECALLED , MINE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE , BUT NOT ON RECALL LIST. IT HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY THE MOST , BUT DOES HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING TOO. IT HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND ON HIGHWAYS.

THE CAR HAS NO GET UP AND GO! THERE ARE MILLIONS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS! DRIVING THE CAR WILL GO IN D1 BY ITSELF! CAR RUNS ROUGH AT TIMES AND GOOD AT TIMES ... I TOOK THE CAR TO DODGE SEVERAL TIMES ABS THEY KEEP SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG

I DON'T KNOW BUT I HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 75 MPH WHEN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP. THE VEHICLE JUST PASSED 100,000 MILES.

MY CAR STILL MOVES AFTER PLACING DODGE CHARGER SE VIN: [XXX] INTO PARK ALONG WITH EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE THEN TURNING OFF MOTOR. THE CAR STILL MOVES ON IT'S OWN, SOMETIMES EVEN AFTER SITTING OVER NIGHT. I START TO OPEN ONE OF MY DOORS AND THE CAR STARTS MOVING ON IT'S OWN. ALL OF THIS IS DONE WHILE BEING PARKED ON "EVEN SURFACES", SUCH AS MY DRIVEWAY AT HOME (STATIONARY WITH MOTOR OFF. PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE. IT'S BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR BRAND NEW. I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU. [XXX].

ON MY WAY HOME FROM RENO, NV I WAS GETTING ONTO THE I-80 FREEWAY WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY AND THE CAR MANUALLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL ( IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY) THE CAR BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER AND THEN THERE WAS A LOUD BANG IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY, I CLOSE TO AN EXIT AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF. THE CAR RMPS WERE VERY NIGHT THOUGH THE CAR WAS STALLED. THE DEALER LATER DIAGNOSED THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. SO FAR I'VE HAD 6 RECALLS WITH THIS CAR AND 3 REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY.

AT TIMES WHEN DRIVING EITHER ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION WILL DOWNSHIFT TO LOW GEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. EX: I'M DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGH SPEEDS AND I HEAR THAT SOUND...LIKE IT HAS BEEN THROWN IN 1ST GEAR. AT TIMES HAVE BEEN DRIVING 60+ MPH WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE ONLY WAY TO "RESET" IS TO HURRY AND PULL OVER AND RESTART VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT SPORADICALLY, DURING THE PAST COUPLE YEARS. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO IN APRIL 2018. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COMES ON. I NOTICE A RECALL FOR TRANSMISSIONS, BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW IT IS NEEDED ON MY MODEL CAR.

AS DRIVING UP THE HIGHWAY MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER JERKED AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD THERE WAS A MESSAGE THAT SAID 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION SHUT OFF ENGINE TO ENGAGE PARK' MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS ALSO ON. I PULLED OVER BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK. I TRIED TO PULL BACK OFF TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED, TRAFFICS WAS APPROACHING AND THERE IS WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TRYING PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL TO HURRY AND MOVE BEFORE THE COMING TRAFFICK MADE IT TO ME, IT WAS AN 18 WHEELER. I COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD TODAY DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND I'M NOT WONDERING WHY THERE IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

I'VE CHECK WITH JIM BURKE DODGE SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THE RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION FOR MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER. AS OF TODAY JANUARY 15, 2018 NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I'M BEING TOLD THEIR ISN'T A FIX AT THIS TIME.

I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A LEGAL U-TURN, WHEN TRYING TO PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE, I STEP ON THE GAS ONLY TO REALIZE THE SHIFTER POPPED BACK INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK. WHEN MAKING A U-TURN THERE IS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BY THE TIME I'M ABLE TO COMPLETE THE U-TURN AND PLACE THE GEAR INTO REVERSE THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I'VE BEEN BEHIND SOME BIG TRUCKS THAT DECIDE THEY WANT TO BACK UP. WITH A NORMAL SHIFTER YOU CAN QUICKLY PLACE THE CAR INTO REVERSE. WITH THIS SHIFTER I FEEL I'M GOING TO GET HIT. THIS POPPING OUT OF REVERSE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SHIFTER. I LIKE THE CAR ALTHOUGH I'VE HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MANY REPAIRS AND IT'S ONLY 3 YEARS OLD.

WHILE DRIVING MY "AWD" CHARGER DOWN MY HILL IN THE MIDDLE OF A SNOW STORM MY "AWD" SYSTEM FAILED ON ME AND ILLUMINATED A MESSAGE STATING "SERVICE AWD". I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED AND AWD WAS STILL UNAVAILABLE. WITH ONLY RWD I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH IT SPINNING OUT MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE SYSTEM HOWEVER WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP THE SYSTEM BEGAN FUNCTIONING AGAIN AFTER SHUTTING MY CAR OFF THERE AND TURNING IT BACK ON. THE TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS ANYONE COULD BE DRIVING AND HAVE THE AWD SYSTEM FAIL ON THEM AT ANY GIVEN POINT INTERMITTENTLY OR PERMANENTLY AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED MORE DEEPLY. *TR

HAVING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH MY CHARGER WHICH ONLY HAS 7300 MILES ON IT. LIKE OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED, WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR WILL JUMP FORWARD. FEELS LIKE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING LATE. THEN WHEN DRIVING AND GETTING UP TO SPEED, THE RPMS WILL JUMP UP BUT THE CAR DOES NOT SPEED UP. THE LAST TIME THE RPMS INCREASED, I QUICKLY TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL, AND THE RPMS CONTINUED TO RISE TO 5K. BOTH ISSUES HAPPEN SPORADICALLY. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER 2X. FIRST TIME THEY HAD FOR 2 DAYS, REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION AND SAID THEY FIXED IT. I TOOK IT HOME OVER THE WEEKEND AND BOTH ISSUES STILL HAPPENED. TOOK CAR BACK IN ON MONDAY AND THIS TIME THEY HAD IT FOR 4 DAYS AND GAVE ME A RENTAL CAR. TODAY I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM (VALVE BODY SEPARATE PLATE PART) AND IS...

WHEN STOPPING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE LURCHES BADLY RIGHT BEFORE IT STOPS. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOT A FIX UNTIL THE END OF MAY/EARLY JUNE. WE WERE TOLD TO PICK UP THE CAR AND CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT UNTIL SOMEBODY NOTIFIES US. IT IS VERY ALARMING EVERY TIME YOU GO TO STOP. *TR

CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2013 BUT AS OF TODAY CANNOT TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS UNREASONABLE. ALSO, THEY HAVE NOT ONCE TOLD ME WHETHER OR NOT IT IS SAFE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE AT THIS POINT I SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO A FULL REFUND ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR
