POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FOR MY STATE HIGHWAY PATROL CAR. WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER THEY WOULD NOT WORK ON IT AND STATED THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. 2 OF MY OTHER PARTNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME DEALERSHIP. I CONTACTED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP 50 MILES AWAY AND THEY HAD THE RECALL FIXED THE NEXT DAY. MY OTHER 2 PARTNERS WENT TO THIS DEALERSHIP 50 MILES AWAY AND HAD THE RECALL FIXED QUICKLY ALSO. THIS LOCAL DEALERSHIP ALSO HAS NOT PERFORMED 1 OTHER BULLETIN ON THIS SAME PATROL CAR WHICH RESULTED IN THE ITEM BEING FIXED BY A DEALERSHIP IN ANOTHER STATE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER, PURCHASED IN CLEVELAND OH IN OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2005. I HAD ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE STARTING IN THE BEGINNING OF 2006. I INITIALLY NOTICED THAT MY TRANSMISSION CLUTCH WAS SLIPPING AND THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP IN SEPTEMBER 2006 O FIND THAT THE TRANSMISSION CLIP HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEN ANOTHER ISSUE, THAT HAS YET TO BE RESOLVED, BEGAN TO EMERGE IN EARLY 2007. I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD RUMBLE AS IF WAS PREPARING TO SHUT OFF, USUALLY WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP. ADDITIONALLY, MY VEHICLE WOULD AT TIMES SEEM TO BE STUCK IN IDLE WHEN I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP 5 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. I WAS TOLD TWICE THAT THE COMPUTER CHIP NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. TWO OTHER TIMES I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE WAS RELATED TO BRAKE ISSUES AND THAT MY BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY NOT UNDER WARRANTY, MEANING A SERVICE CHARGE EVERYTIME I TAKE IT IN, AND ONCE AGAIN THE ISSUE HAS GONE TO THE POINT WHERE I NEED TO TAKE IT ONE MORE TIME. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER TWICE ON THIS ISSUE, ONCE IN 2007 AND AGAIN RECENTLY, TO NO RESOLVE. I HAVE TALKED TO ONE OTHER CHARGER (2007)OWNER WHO INDICATED THEY HAVE A SIMILAR ISSUE. THE ISSUE ONLY OCCURS PERIODICALLY, BUT PREVENTS ME FROM TRAVELING LONG DISTANCES IN MY VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF IRREPARABLE DAMAGE. I FEEL AS MY LAST OPTION IS TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I PURCHASED MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER IN OCTOBER 06. SINCE MY PURCHASE I HAVE MAINTAINED MY CAR REGULARLY. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH MY WIFE WHEN SHE SPOTTED SMOKE COMING FOR THE FRONT HOOD. AS I STARTED TO PULL OVER FLAMES WERE COMING OUT. SHE YELLED FOR US TO RUN FROM THE CAR AND AS WE DID THE GLASS BURST OUT AND THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. MY CAR INSURANCE COMPANY DID FORENSIC TESTING AND SAYS IT WAS STARTED BY SOMETHING IGNITING (FLUID). CHRYSLER CLAIMS THERE WAS NO MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND NOW I AM OUT OF A CAR AND MONEY. CHRYSLER PRETTY MUCH TOLD ME I AM SCREWED AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT ME GETTING A NEW CAR OR REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE TWO YEARS I PAID INTO THE CAR. THEY DEFINITELY DO NOT TO CARE AND SENT A FORM LETTER INSTEAD OF ANYONE PERSONALLY CALLING. WE COULD HAVE DIED OR BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AND WHEN I CALLED CORPORATE THEY SAID THE INVESTIGATORS DECISION WAS FINAL. SO LIKE I SAID I AM SCREWED BIG TIME. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:CONTROL MODULE
THE ALARM SYSTEM FAILURE. THE CAR WOULD NOT START. SO I HAD TO CONTACT AAA AND SEND A TOW TRUCK OUT. SOON AS THE TOWTRUCK DRIVER CAME OUT HE SD IT IS THE ALARM SYSTEM, EVEN BEFORE WE TOLD HIM THE PROBLEM. HE SD THAT HE HAVE HAD A FEW DODGE CHARGERS TOWED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SO NW I HAVE TO SEE IF DODGE WILL FIX IT . BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT I BOUGHT IT USED,AND IT IS OVER 50K MILES. SO I HAVE TO FIND OUT IF DODGE WILL CHECK IT OUT FOR FREE AND FIX THE PROBLEM OR DO I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT FROM WHICH WAS NOT A DODGE DEALERSHIP. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER AND NOTICED ON THE RECALL STATS I GET SENT ON THE E-MAIL THAT SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THEIR CHARGERS HESITATING OR STALLING ON TAKE OFF. I HAVE HAD THE HESITATION EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MARCH OF 2006. I HAD IT INTO THE SHOP ONCE IN MIDLAND, TEXAS WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS HOW THAT PARTICULAR CAR DID AND IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. SEEMS LIKE IT MAY BE A PROBLEM AFTER ALL. I HAVE RIGHT AT 30,000 MILES ON THE CAR NOW. IT HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ALMOST EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE. SOMETIMES IT IS WORSE THAN OTHERS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
06 DODGE CHARGER WITH 33,000 MILES. CAR HAS BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND ENGINE LIGHT WILL BEGIN BLINKING WHILE ALMOST STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT OR FULLY STOPPED. I HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION FOR A SHORT TIME AND THEN RESTART TO GET OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. I DO NOT SEE HOW THIS CAN POSSIBLE BE SAFE FOR MY PASSENGERS(3 & 7 YR OLD), MYSELF OR OTHER CARS. THIS HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES SINCE MAY 2008. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED OXYGEN SENSOR, FLASHED THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (SAYING LOST COMMUNICATION WITH STEERING CONTROL MODULE), AND ON JULY 29TH REPLACED THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. HAD CAR BACK A FEW DAYS AND BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, PUT CAR IN DRIVE AND PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR DID NOTHING. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE ACCELERATOR WORKED & I MOVED ABOUT 10 FEET. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY/ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING AND I HAD TO SHUT THE CAR OFF. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS AROUND ME THIS TIME. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON CONSTANT(NOT BLINKING), WHICH I HAVE BEEN TOLD OVER & OVER BY THE DEALERSHIP IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE 2 MILES HOME. TOOK CAR INTO DEALERSHIP AGAIN ON AUG 4, 2008. WAS TOLD THIS TIME THAT THERE IS A TSB & THEY HAVE TO ORDER PARTS. BUT TO PICK IT UP UNTIL THE PARTS COME IN THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE HAD AN EVAPORATION LEAK. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE LIGHT AND ESP/BAS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER THEN STATED THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS A MULTI-CYLINDER MISFIRE AT CYLINDERS 2-4. UPDATED 10/09/08. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER V6 3.5L HO, FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW AND IN THAT TIME THE CAR HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT THE DEALERS CAN'T FIX OR EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO. I WOULD GO TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD CRANK UP, TURN OVER THEN CUT BACK OFF. IT WOULD DO THAT ABOUT THREE TIMES BEFORE STARTING AFTER I TURN THE RADIO OFF. IT HAS ALSO HAD ABOUT A 30 SECOND PAUSE WHEN STARTING THE CAR, IN WHICH THERE WOULD BE NO ENGINE CRANKING, NO NOISE... JUST THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND NOTHING ELSE. I HAD TO TURN THE KEY THREE TIMES BEFORE I GOT IT TO START. THE ABSOLUTE WORST IS THE CAR IDLES DOWN LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF WHILE STOPPED IN EVERYDAY TRAFFIC NOT TO MENTION THE PREVIOUS 2 I STATED BEFORE, HAPPENS IN SPURTS. ITS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER WAS RETURNING "NO CODES" SO THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THEY HAVE TESTED THE BATTERY, IGNITION AND THEY WERE ALL FINE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER THAT ATTEMPTS TO STALL ~ WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ~ AND THEN WILL HESITATE UPON ACCELERATION BEFORE LURCHING FORWARD. NO ACCIDENT OR INJURIES YET, BUT POTENTIAL IS THERE. MIRACLE I HAVEN'T BEEN REAR ENDED OR REAR ENDED SOMEONE ELSE. FRIGHTENING TO THINK OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT AROUND 60-65 MPH AND THE CAR DID STALL. I FOUND A FORUM ONLINE WITH NUMEROUS DODGE CHARGER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. NO RECALL THAT I CAN SEE...YET. I'VE HAD MINE IN THE SHOP FIVE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT STILL ACTS UP. *TR

TIRES
WANLI S-1098 TIRE. 265/35R22 102V XL DOT 4HSA (3205) PLEASE NOTE; YOUR TIRE SELECTION DID NOT HAVE THIS BRAND IDENTIFIED. INSIDE SIDE WALLS CRACKING WITH > 60% TREAD LIFE. 22MONTHS PUT ON NEW 2006 DODGE DAYTONA-CHARGER BY DEALERSHIP. ALL 4 TIRES WITH CRACKING. ONE HOWEVER, SO MANY CRACKS THAT DEALER SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED TO NOT DRIVE CAR DUE TO SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD OF POTENTIAL TIRE RUPTURE. ALL 4 TIRES RECOMMENDED TO BE REPLACED. BUT THE DEALER SAYS THEY WON'T HONOR THE "MANUFACTURERS" WARRANTY. ONE TIRE COMPANY INDICATED A PRIOR RECALL OF WANLI BRAND TIRES, YET, I COULD NOT FIND A RECALL FOR THIS TIRE ON THIS SITE. WAS THERE AN ACTUAL RE-CALL ON WANLI PERFORMANCE TIRES FOR SIDEWALL DEFECTS? I FOUND, ON THE INTERNET, THAT THIS TIRE, WANLI S-1098,HAS A "100 PERCENT FREE REPLACEMENT" WARRANTY FOR THE LIFE OF THE TIRE. HOWEVER, THERE ARE NO DEALERS IN MY AREA THAT DEAL WITH WANLI ANYMORE, PRESUMABLY DUE TO "POOR QUALITY", "TOO MANY PROBLEMS" AND AN ALLEGED RECALL PER MY LOCAL LES SCHWAB TIRE STORE. CAN YOU LET ME KNOW OF ANY RECALLS ON THE WANLI BRAND TIRE? SINCE THE TIRE WAS INSTALLED BY THE DEALER PRIOR TO SALE( TO ENCOURAGE SALE) DOES THAT MAKE THE AUTO DEALERSHIP THE TIRE DEALER AND SHOULD THEY HONOR THE WARRANTY? *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC, EQUIPMENT
I PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE CHARGER BRAND NEW IN MARCH 2006. EVER SINCE THEN THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES NOT STOPPING AND SQUEAKING AND THE FACT THAT I COULD BE ACCELERATING UP TO ABOUT 20-30MPH AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANY FURTHER. THE CAR IS SHOWING SIGNS OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THESE PROBLEMS LEAD ME TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID I NEEDED BRAKE PADS AND NOTHING ELSE WAS WRONG, WHICH I GOT BRAKE PADS FROM A DIFFERENT BUSINESS. THE CAR STILL CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING WITH THE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE BRAKES. I SEE THERE WAS NO RESULTS WITH GOING TO THE DEALER SO I CONTACTED THE CORPORATE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE # AND THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK FOR A DIAGNOSIS, I ADVISED THEM THAT I PREVIOUSLY DONE THAT AND THERE WAS NOTHING FOUND. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE DEALER WOULD NEED TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE COMING TO A STOP, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED. THE CONTACT EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT PIECES OF THE FRONT TIRES WERE SHEARING OFF. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TIRE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE ALIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER AND THE TIE ROD ENDS WERE REPLACED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 27,200 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,500.

REPEATED WARPING AND SQUEALING COMING FROM BRAKES. DEALERSHIP TURNS THE ROTORS TO "FIX" THE ISSUE TILL IT IS OUT OF ORIGINAL 12,000 MILE WARRANTY FOR BRAKES. THEY WILL THEN NO LONGER CORRECT THE ISSUE WITHOUT PAYMENT. THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX. *TR

EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL, STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY, TIRES
I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER WITH 47,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I WENT TO MY MECHANIC TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED (GOODYEAR), THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE STEERING TIE ROD (RT SIDE) WAS SO BADLY WORN THEY DID NOT EVEN WANT ME TO DRIVE IT HOME ( I HAVE SAVED THE PART). IT IS A SEALED UNIT AND SHOULD NOT NEED ANY LUBRICATION OTHER THAN WHAT WAS INITIALLY DESIGNED INTO THE PART. OBVIOUSLY IF ONE LOSES STEERING ABILITY AT SPEED THE CONSEQUENCES COULD BE SIGNIFICANT. INTERESTINGLY, THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I GOT THE LAST ONE AVAILABLE IN THE MILWAUKEE AREA. IT MAKES ME WONDER IF ALL THE OTHERS WERE USED FOR A SIMILAR REPLACEMENT DEFECT AND/OR IT IS BEING REDESIGNED. *TR

IT WAS ABOUT 8:00 A.M. IT WAS NOT HOT ABOUT 60 DEGREES, ME AND MY HUSBAND WERE STANDING BY THE CAR AND WHEN HE GOT IN AND SHUT THE DOOR WITHOUT STARTING THE VEHICLE FIRST, THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED FOR NO APPARENT REASON WE BOTH STOOD THERE WATCHING IN AWW AS IT CONTINUED TO FALL IN PIECES AT FIRST IT EXPLODED OUTWARDS THEN JUST FELL IN SIDE THE REAR SEATS IF THE CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR WITH US GLASS WOULD HAVE FALLEN ALL OVER THEM NOTHING HIT THE WINDOW AND IT DID NOT HAVE ANY EXISTING CRACKS AT ALL IT JUST SHATTERED FIRST IN ONE SMALL AREA THEN AROUND THE EDGES AS IT BEING EATEN OR SOMETHING THEN JUST ALL OVER I DON'T HAVE A VIDEO CAMERA BUT I TOOK STILL PATTERS AS IT WAS HAPPENING. THEN I LOOKED ON LINE TO SEE IF ANY OTHERS HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN AND I FOUND WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES. THIS GLASS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THERE WAS VERY SMALL SHARP SHARDS OF GLASS ALL OVER I GOT SOME IN MY HAND AND FINGERS. THE DEALER REFUSED TO BELIEVE ME AND DENIED THERE WAS A PROBLEM. BUT I STOOD THERE AND WATCHED THIS HAPPEN. THIS GLASS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
POOR BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE DODGE DAYTONA RT 2006. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 27,000 MILES ON IT AND MY REAR AND FRONT ROTORS ARE SHOT. I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS ONCE ALREADY. DODGE IS SAYING THAT THIS IS "COMMON" AND IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. TO HAVE THIS FIXED WILL BE APPROX $700. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL BUYERS OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE REVIEWED MESSAGES ON WWW.CHARGERFORUMS.COM WITH PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEMS AND DODGE DOES NOTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
I HAVE A POTENTIAL PROBLEM ARISING. UPON TAKING MY 2006 CHARGER IN TO HAVE AN ALIGNMENT DONE ON IT I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT END HAD FALLEN AND IT WOULD NOT TAKE ALL OF THE SPECS ON THE ALIGNMENT. I TRIED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ODESSA, TEXAS AND THEY NEVER DID GET TO IT ON THE DAY SPECIFIED. ALL THEY DID SAY WAS THAT MOST ALIGNMENT CENTERS DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS JOB. ONLY THE DEALERS THEY ALLOWED WOULD DO IT. PROBABLY BECAUSE THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO HAVE TO PUT FORTH THE REPAIRS FOR WARRANTY WORK AND THEIR PEOPLE WILL SAY THAT IT IS DONE RIGHT. I WILL GET A SECOND OPINION BUT IT WILL NOT BE WITH THEIR PEOPLE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH SINCE AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL CARS OF LIKE MINE THAT HAVE HAD TIE ROD ENDS FALL OFF AND CAUSE NEAR ACCIDENTS. I ALSO READ MANY COMPLAINTS WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN INCIDENTS OF BRAKE FAILURES AND THE CHRYSLER CORP WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. THAT IS DANGEROUS. ARE THEY WAITING FOR A COUPLE OF DEATHS BEFORE THEY TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY? *TR
