2013 DODGE CHARGER Structurebody Problems

BODY TRUNK LATCHING OPERATION FAILURE VEHICLE STATIONARY TRUNK RELEASE NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. MOTOR IS STILL MAKING OPERATIONAL SOUNDS, WITHOUT ANY ACTION TO OPEN/RELEASE TRUNK. 2013 DODGE CHARGER

THE TRUNK KEPT OPENING ON IT'S OWN, WITHOUT THE KEY FOB ANYWHERE NEAR IT. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON THE CHARGER AND CHALLENGER MODELS YET THE DEALERSHIP HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT. IT WAS 199.00 BEFORE TAX FOR PARTS AND LABOR FOR A NEW TRUNK SENSOR. THE SCARY PART IS THAT IT OPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION BACKING UP AS WELL.

MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER'S DOOR HANDLE OPEN AND STAYS IN THE UP POSITION AND YOU HAVE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE TO GET THE DOOR OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARK POSITION AND UPON TRYING TO ENTER THE VEHICLE THE HANDLE LIFTED AND WAS STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION WITHOUT OPENING THE DOOR. IT HAS NOT LATCHED SINCE THE INITIAL INCIDENT AND THE DOOR HAS TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. IT IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE.

04/15/2015 THERE WAS A MUTUAL ACCIDENT OR FAULTY DUE TO SECOND DRIVER BEING BLINDED BY A TRUCK ON A MERGE INTO A DRIVE THRU BANKING AT PNC BANK N 87TH AND COTTAGE GROVE CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. I WAS SITTING IN THE TURN AND THE OTHER CAR HIT THE VEHICLE AT 45 MPH ON A 30 MPH SPEED LIMIT. THERE WAS MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE OTHER DRIVERS FRONT BUMPER, ALSO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO MINE. HOWEVER, THE ENTIRE BUMPER FELL OFF THE VEHICLE, THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 4500 DOLLARS WORTH OF REPAIRS TO BE DONE. AT ANY RATE THE BUMPER SHOULD HAVE SUSTAINED A DENT OR CRACK NOT THE ENTIRE BUMPER FALL OFF AND ALL PLASTIC PIECES HOLDING IT TOGETHER EITHER. WHAT IT IS WITH A 20K + CAR THAT A HIT EVEN AT THAT SPEED WOULD TAKE THE ENTIRE BUMPER OFF A CAR AND ALL PIECES HAVE TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE...

WIFE COMPLAINED OF TRUNK OPENING BY ITSELF. CAR HAS KEYLESS PASSIVE ENTRY SYSTEM AND I SUSPECTED SHE WAS ACCIDENTALLY HITTING THE TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON. PROBLEM BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND ON TWO OCCASIONS SHE HAD TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF BUSY HIGHWAYS TO CLOSE THE TRUNK PUTTING HER AT A SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH. A BRIEF ONLINE SEARCH SHOWS AN HISTORICAL PROBLEM INVOLVING THIS COMPLAINT. AT FIRST THE PROBLEM WAS HUMOROUS BUT AFTER HER HAVING TO STOP ON THE LIE THE HUMOR QUICKLY FADED AND CONCERN AROSE. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALER FOR A FIX AND I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN AND WAS BLOWN OFF. THIS MAY NOT BE THE TYPICAL SAFETY PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH POTENTIAL INJURIOUS EVENTS BUT AN UNFORESEEN OR UNEXPECTED REACTION TO THIS SITUATION COULD LEAD TO UNINTENDED ACCIDENTS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AROUND 2AM ON TUESDAY MORNING 10/22/2013. I WAS JUST COMING OUT OF A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND IT JUST TURNED BACK TO 55MPH. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD SOMETHING IN THE FRONT END AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE AND IT STARTED MOVING BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT ME MOVING IT. I LOST ALL CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE AND IT SHOT ME OVER TOWARDS THE RIGHT AND SLAMMED ME INTO THE GUARDRAIL. I CONTINUED TO TRY TO MOVE THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO GET THE CAR AWAY FROM THE GUARDRAIL BUT THE WHOLE CAR SLID UP AGAINST THE GUARDRAIL BEFORE I COULD REGAIN CONTROL AND MOVE THE CAR AWAY FROM THE GUARDRAIL. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT ON 10/10/2013. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE IT FOR TWO FULL WEEKS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. THERE IS ALMOST $12,000 WORTH OF...
