ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
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 KNOW UNTIL WE GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP - WHO - COINCIDENTALLY HAS NO APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE FOR A WEEK, DOES NOT PROVIDE LOANER CARS (OR FREE RENTAL), AND MAY OR MAY NOT COVER THE TOWING. I THEN CONTACTED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD BE THE RECALL, BUT THEY DO NOT PROVIDE RENTALS OR LOANERS. WHAT? SO - - THEY KNOW THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE IN 1/2 A MILLION VEHICLES, BUT THEY ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT OTHER THAN TO SWITCH THE PART OUT? VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE ON DODGE'S PART AND I WILL BE PURSUING THIS FURTHER, ONCE WE HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE PART NUMBER ON THE ALTERNATOR IS THE CORRECT PART NUMBER FOR THE RECALL. I AM NOT WAITING TO GET IT UP THERE FOR THEM TO MYSTERIOUSLY LOSE THE PART OR EVEN BETTER - PRETEND THAT IT ISN'T THE RIGHT PART NUMBER. I AM FEELING VERY UNTRUSTING OF DODGE RIGHT NOW!

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING, POWER STEERING RANDOMLY TURNS OFF AND DISPLAYS "SERVICE POWER STEERING SYSTEM". IT DECIDED TO SHUT OFF POWER STEERING MIDWAY THROUGH A RIGHT HAND TURN CAUSING ME TO DRIVE OVER THE SIDEWALK AND ALMOST INTO A PARKED CAR IN THE PARKING LOT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SIDEWALK. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS, I DONT FEEL SAFE LETTING MY KIDS RIDE IN THIS CAR AT ALL, ESPECIALLY SINCE I NEVER KNOW WHEN MY POWER STEERING IS JUST GOING TO RANDOMLY STOP WORKING. I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE POSITIVE SAFETY RATINGS, HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, DODGE/CHRYSLER HAS LOST ALL OF MY BUSINESS. ESPECIALLY WHEN A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP IS $1280 WHICH IS MORE THAN A COMPLETE MOTOR FOR SOME CARS. THE LIVES OF MY CHILDREN ARE WORTH MORE TO ME THAN THEY SEEM TO BE TO DODGE. UNLESS DODGE CAN DO A RECALL ON THIS PART AND FIX IT, SINCE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS HAD THESE ISSUES, THIS CAR WILL BE GOING TO A SCRAP YARD, IM NOT WILLING TO SELL IT TO SOMEONE ELSE AND POSSIBLY HAVE THEIR LIVES ON MY CONSCIENCE. *TR CONSUMER TESTIMONY IS LONGER THAN 2000 CHARACTERS, PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT.*JB

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE AUXILIARY FUEL PUMP MODULE LOCATED UNDER REAR SEAT WILL LEAK FUEL INTO THE CAB, CAUSING A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE AFTER FILLING UP. GAS WILL ACTIVELY LEAK OUT FROM PRESSURIZATION AND FORM A PUDDLE OF GAS THAT SITS ON TOP OF PLASTIC MODULE. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FILLED UP WITH GAS AND LEAKS OUT WHETHER VEHICLE IS RUNNING OR NOT

SUSPENSION
PREMATURE WEAR OF BUSHINGS WHICH CAUSED REPLACEMENT OF COMPLETE SUSPENSION SYSTEM. $3000 LATER I HOPE MY VEHICLE WILL BE SAFE TO DRIVE AGAIN. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2015 AND HAVE ONLY PUT 17,000 MILES ON IT SINCE OWNING IT. VEHICLE STARTED JUST SUDDENLY MAKING VERY LOUD METAL ON METAL CLANKING SOUND AND LOTS OF VIBRATION. BUMPS IN ROAD MADE THE NOISE WORSE. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE UNTIL I COULD GET IT INTO DEALER WHEN THEY HAD AN APPOINTMENT AVAILABLE BECAUSE I DID NOT WANNA INJURE OURSELVES OR OTHERS. I HAVE READ IN OTHER FORUMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. IS THIS A DESIGN FLAW? IS THERE A SUSPENSION ISSUE? I AM SCARED OF MY CAR NOW.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE RADIO HAS STOPPED WORKING TO WHERE THERE IS NO SOUND. UPON LOOKING UP THE ISSUE FROM OTHER DODGE OWNERS ONLINE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM.THE RADIO AMPLIFIER FUSE #27 LOCATED IN THE TRUNK OF THE VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY BURNT OUT, POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. IT IS UNSAFE TO REPLACE FUSE BACK IN THE SAME LOCATION THE HOUSING FOR THE FUSE IS MELTED AND BURNED.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS AND BLUETOOTH HANDS FREE CONNECTIVITY HAVE FAILED ON THIS VEHICLE REQUIRING $700 REPAIR INCLUDING A NEW BLUETOOTH MODULE. THE VEHICLE CAN NO LONGER SUPPORT THE HANDS FREE SAFETY FEATURES THAT ARE ESSENTIAL FOR MOBILITY CONNECTIVITY AND SAFETY DURING PHONE CALLS. USERS ARE UNABLE TO REBOOT RADIO DEVICES ON THIS VEHICLE REQUIRING DEALER VISIT FOR DIAGNOSIS. DIAGNOSIS INDICATES FAILURE OF BLUETOOTH MODULE LOCATED NEAR STEERING WHEEL. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR DODGE BIASED ON INFO BOARDS, INSTALL VIDEOS AND OEM PARTS BEING SOLD TO REPAIR THIS. I HAVE VEHICLES TWICE THE AGE OF THIS DODGE WITH BLUETOOTH STILL ACTIVE SO THIS FEELS LIKE A PREMATURE PARTS FAILURE THAT IS PUTTING MY TEEN DRIVER AT RISK UNTIL REPAIRED DUE TO LACK OF HANDS FREE CONNECTIVITY.

SINCE 07/2017 I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ANTI -THEFT-CODE. DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO PAY FOR A CODE UPDATE. NO~ I FEEL THIS IS A RECALL PROBLEM. THE SERVICE CENTER HAS DONE THE RECALLS IT REQUIRED AND RIGHT AFTER THESE RECALLS I HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHERE I HAVE TO BOOST THE CAR IN ORDER TO TURN IT ON. EVERYDAY NOW. I WORK AT NIGHT THEREFORE ITS UNSAFE FOR A SINGLE WOMAN TO BE STRANDED 5 DAYS A WEEK.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
2014 DODGE CHARGE POLICE CAR LOSES ALL POWER STEERING WHEN TURNED LEFT. WE HAVE 4 OF THESE MODELS AT OUR POLICE AGENCY AND ALL 4 ARE DOING THE SAME THING. AFTER SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL OTHER POLICE CHIEF'S, THEY ALL STATED THAT THE ELECTROSTATIC POWER STEERING PUMP WAS BAD AND IT WAS A MULTIPLE THOUSAND DOLLAR FIX FOR THEM. OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER SAYS TO FIX EACH FLEET CAR, THE COST WILL BE OVER $2000 PER CAR. WITH THIS MANY ISSUES, THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION AND A RECALL. FURTHER, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED LEFT, ALL POWER STEERING IS LOST.
