ENGINE
Outside temp was around 32F. Drove normally for 15 minutes and came to a stop. Was idling approximately two minutes and temperature gauge started climbing rapidly. High fans turned on but temps continued to climb. Turned off engine for a few mins and temps were okay. Took it to a garage the next morning and mechanic said the radiator was broken.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Main Head Lamps go out with no warning or indicator saying that the lamp is off, and it MAY or MAY not come back on....In this case it is ( at this time ) only the Driver side Lamp. This is Intermittent and no rhyme or reason as to why . This particular Lamp assembly is a specific FACTORY LAMP and also , from my understanding. incorporates a FACtORY Ballast.

WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
UNKNOWN 06/21 : Rear view camera stops working on occasion. Mostly when weather is bad, I don't exactly know why it stopped working occasionally, never hit the car or any problems until severe cold whether came around January 2021. On the camera screen it will just show black and say "camera unavailable check surroundings" especially in severe rain. The date June 2021 was the last time it showed the black screen while it was raining for the week of 06/25 - 06/29. 01/21 : tire sensor does not read tire pressure or read that there is a tire at all on front passenger & back driver side.

AIR BAGS
I WAS INVOLVED IN A BAD ACCIDENT IN WHICH MY CAR WAS HIT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS BY 2 DIFFERENT CARS. THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS RIPPED AND SCRAPED AS WELL AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS IN THE VEHICLE DEPLOYED. THE ENTIRE CAR IS TORN APART AND NOT ONE OF THE AIRBAGS ATTEMPTED TO DEPLOY DESPITE BEING HIT ALL OVER. I SPUN OUT OVER 6 LANES OF TRAFFIC AS THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. EVERY SENSOR AND METER IN THE CAR WAS FLASHING AND GIVING ME AN ERROR MESSAGE IN WHICH THE CAR WAS NO LONGER OPERABLE. IF ANYONE HAD BEEN IN THE VEHICLE ALONG WITH ME, NO ONE WOULD BE SAVED.

SERVICE BRAKES
I PURCHASED A NEW 2019 DODGE CHARGER SCATPACK. IT WAS PURCHASED AS A LEISURE CAR FOR WEEKEND USE. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A YEAR AND A HALF AND HAS 13000 MILES. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHIMMY FROM THE FRONT BRAKES. THE FRONT VIBRATION BEGAN VERY LIGHT BUT HAS CONTINUED TO INCREASE. AT FIRST I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY THE FACT THAT IT WAS NOT DRIVEN TO OFTEN AND THERE WAS PROBABLY A RUST BUILDUP OF SOME KIND. HOWEVER, IN RESEARCHING THE INTERNET IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP LABELED THE PROBLEM AS A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE AND FOR THAT REASON IT WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A POOR DESIGNED PROBLEM THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS REFUSING TO RECOGNIZE. I'VE OWNED MANY CARS IN MY 58 YEAR'S OF LIFE AND I KNOW THAT A BREAK ISSUE UNFORTUNATELY TAKES LOSS OF LIFE BEFORE IT'S ADDRESSED BY THE AUTHORITIES AND OR MANUFACTURER'S. I'M HOPING THAT THESE ISSUE IS ADDRESSED AS I'VE FOUND THROUGHOUT MY RESEARCH THAT IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT COMES WITH OTHER PROBLEMS LIKE BRAKE FAILURE ALSO. THE BRAKES ARE MANUFACTURED BY BREMBO BRAKE WHO HAS ALSO REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE A POSIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE FACTORY HALOGEN PROJECTOR HEADLAMPS ARE GROSSLY INADEQUATE FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING. THE BEAM PATTERN IS VERY POOR, AND ILLUMINATION OF SIGNAGE TO THE RIGHT OF THE CAR IS NON-EXISTENT. THIS PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. I HAVE REPLACED THE FACTORY BULBS WITH HIGHER PERFORMANCE PARTS TO NO AVAIL. INCREASING THE INTENSITY OF A BAD BEAM PATTERN DOESN'T IMPROVE THE BEAM PATTERN. NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE HEADLAMPS ON THE CURRENT GENERATION CHARGER. OVERALL, NHTSA SHOULD ADOPT THE ECE BEAM PATTERN. FINALLY, DRLS SHOULD BE BANNED. WITH NO BENEFIT, ALL THEY DO IS RAISE THE COST OF A VEHICLE AND CAUSE EXCESSIVE DAYTIME GLARE.

STEERING
TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. WE WERE TRAVELING ON A MAIN ROAD DOING 30 MPH WITH AUTOS IN FRONT AND BEHIND US. SLOWED DOWN AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN ONTO SIDE STREET. IT WAS VERY HARD TO TURN ONTO THE SIDE STREET SINCE THERE WAS ABOUT 10 % OF POWER STEERING ASSIST. YOU COULD BARELY STEER INTO A PARKING SPOT. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK TO DELIVER THE 2019 DODGE CHARGER SRT HELLCAT TO MY RESIDENCE. I WILL BE CALLING THE CLOSEST DODGE DEALER/ REPAIR CENTER FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIRS TO BE MADE. THANK GOD NO PEOPLE, INJURED, PROPERTIES OR VEHICLES WERE DAMAGED OR KILLED. .
