FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY IN THE FAST LANE THE VEHICLE STALLS. I'M ABLE TO MANEUVER ACROSS ALL THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET ON THE SHOULDER AND CALL AAA ROADSIDE. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK GETS TO MY LOCATION HE PUTS 2 GALLONS OF GAS IN MY TANK AND THE VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT UP. MEANWHILE THE GAS GAUGE IS SHOWING A QUARTER TANK. AFTER LOOKING UP IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE I CAME ACROSS NUMEROUS ONLINE POSTS STATING THAT THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THEM AS WELL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS IT CAN RESULT IN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT FROM LOSING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINE STALLING OUT FROM FUEL STARVATION AND THE GAS GAUGE SHOWING A QUARTER TANK.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, STEERING
TAKATA RECALL - WHILE EXITING A HIGHWAY INTO A SHOPPING CENTER, MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. MY WIFE WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED. THIS EPISODE WAS VERY FRIGHTENING. VERY UNSAFE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS, BUT THIS DESPERATELY NEEDS RECALLING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN IN THIS MATTER. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I PUT CAR IN THE PARK POSITION TO GET OUT OF THE CAR TO GET SOMETHING. I TURNED AROUND AND MY CAR WAS REVERSING DOWN THE STREET. I HAD TO RUN AND OPEN THE DOOR AND JUMP IN THE CAR TO STOP IT. IT WAS IN REVERSE WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR. I WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER WITH 98,000 MILES JUST THREW A COOLING FAN BLADE THROUGH THE RADIATOR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, LEAVING ME ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. I KNOW THIS IS A RE-OCCURRING ISSUE BECAUSE I AM ON THE CITY COUNCIL FOR A SMALL SUBURB OF HOUSTON AND WE HAD SEVERAL POLICE CARS DO THE SAME THING. SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT COULD LEAVE THE DRIVER BROKEN DOWN IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION (INCLEMENT WEATHER, LATE AT NIGHT, BAD PART OF TOWN), I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE REPAIR COSTS A LITTLE UNDER $1,000 TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND COOLING ASSEMBLY.

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
I'VE HAD MANY ISSUES WRONG WITH MY CAR. THE FIRST COMPLAINT I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS IS HOW THE CAR SHUTS OFF ON ME WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ON BUSY STREETS, MY CAR WILL SHUT OFF, BUT IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP. THIS IS A DANGEROUS HAZARD AND SAFETY CONCERN. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE GRESHAM DODGE (ON NE BURNSIDE) DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE (503-666-2277). I WAS TOLD "IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, BRING IT BACK" THERE WAS NO CONCERN WITH DODGE THAT THEY WERE SENDING A DANGEROUS VEHICLE BACK OUT ON THE ROAD, THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED NOW, NOT LATER. DODGE NEVER SOLVED THAT ISSUE. FURTHERMORE, MY CAR WAS STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION ON THE EVE OF 4-18-16. I TRIED TO GET IT INTO GEAR, WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. I HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK. WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW, I DECIDED TO GOOGLE DODGE CHARGERS STUCK IN PARK. ON YOUTUBE, THERE WERE SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THEY HAD VIDEO OF HOW TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. YOU HAD TO PRY THE COVERING OFF OF THE SHIFTING UNIT. STICK A PEN INSIDE TO MOVE A WIRE AROUND, IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR INTO GEAR. IT WORRIES ME THAT DODGE IS AWARE OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND OTHER ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES, YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO FIX IT. I COULD OF SERIOUSLY BEEN HURT OR SERIOUSLY HURT SOMEONE ELSE WHILE BEING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR JUST SHUTTING OFF. THEY SHOULD BE CONCERNED ENOUGH TO WANT TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT. AS I STATED BEFORE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE WITH OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE VERY SAME ISSUES. I DID FILE A COMPLAINT ON THE BBB WEBSITE, ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE. MY MAIN OBJECTIVE FOR THIS SITE IS TO BRING OUT HOW DANGEROUS IT IS TO OPERATE MY CAR UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, THAT DODGE DID NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT. SOUNDS AS IF THERE ARE TRANSMISSION AND OR ENGINE ISSUES WITH THE CAR THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.

ENGINE
I HAVE A 2007 DODGE CHARGER SXT WITH 60K MILES. ON 4/8/2016 WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AT 7:45 A.M. HEADING TO WORK I HERE A PLASTIC BREAKING NOISE AND A LARGE THUMP SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I QUICKLY GOT OUT TO SEE WHAT I HAD HIT ROLLING OUT THE DRIVE WHEN I NOTICED WATER, HEARD HISSING AND NOTICED BIG BROKEN PLASTIC PIECES ALL ON THE GROUND. I TURNED THE CAR OFF CALLED MY HUSBAND TO TURN AROUND, LOOK AT THE CAR AND THEM DROP ME OFF AT WORK ON HIS WAY TO WORK. HE POPPED THE HOOD TO MY CHARGER AND HE SHOWED ME 2 BROKEN FAN BLADES AND HOUSING SURROUNDING MY RADIATOR AND WHERE THE FAN BLADES HAD PUNCTURED NUMEROUS HOLES INTO THE RADIATOR WHERE THE FLUID WAS COMING OUT FROM. HAD TO GET TO WORK SO AWAY WE WENT. WE CALLED A SHOP TO PICKUP MY CAR AND HAVE THE REPAIRS MADE. I REMEMBERED THIS SIGHT AND MY HUSBAND CHECKED OUT THE RECALLS AND COMPLAINTS REGARDING MY CAR WHICH BRINGS ME TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT IN HOPES THAT REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY RECENT REPAIR WILL BE HANDLED AS IT SEEMS OTHERS HAVE HAD AND BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO.
