THE BRIDGE ON THE MAIN HIGHWAY HAD STANDING WATER. THE ROAD WAS NOT BLOCKED OFF AND COULDN'T SEE IT UNTIL YOU GOT UP TO IT. TRAFFIC WAS IN FRONT AND BEHIND ME SO I COULD NOT TURN AROUND. I WENT UNDER THE BRIDGE BY PIGGY WIGGLY IN POTOTOC, ME AND SOON AS I DID MY CAR STARTED SPUTTERING AND I PULLED OVER AND CAR CUT OFF. I HAD JUST BOUGHT THE CAR THAT MONDAY AND THIS HAPPENED THURSDAY. DEALERSHIP TOWER CAR TO SHOP AND SAID THE WATER MADE MOTOR LOCK UP. HAD CAR TAKEN TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHICH SAID SAME THING.

TAKATA RECALL- DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA ON WHEN THEY WILL BE GETTING IN REPLACEMENT. WAS TOLD TODAY (MARCH 28) TO CALL BACK AGAIN IN 2 TWO WEEKS. AND, IF THEY DO NOT HAVE THEM THEN, TO CALL BACK IN ANOTHER TWO WEEKS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN KNOW OF FOR QUITE SOME TIME. AND, IT IS A SERIOUS ONE. I ALSO CALLED THE FAC RECALL ASSITSANCE CENTER. THEY ALSO DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE DEALERSHIPS WILL RECEIVE THE REPLACEMENTS.

STEERING
DRIVING A 2007 DODGE CHARGER WITH ABOUT 21K MILES. YESTERDAY, WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN, I TOOK A RIGHT TURN AND WHILE NAVIGATING THE TURN WITH THE SIGNAL ON, I HEARD A LOUD PLASTIC-ON-PLASTIC POPPING AND CREAKING NOISE. WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL WENT OFF, THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND THE LEFT SIGNAL TURNED ON!! NOW, WHEN I TURN RIGHT I HEAR CLICKING FROM THE WHEEL/COLUMN AND WHEN THE SIGNAL CANCELS IT DOES IT SO HARD THAT IT ACTIVATES THE TURN SIGNAL OF THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I'M SURE THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD BELIEVE I'M CONFUSED WHICH WAY I'M GOING ' I'M SO GLAD IT DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT! SO THE TURN SIGNAL IN THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A PLASTIC 'POPPING' NOISE, AND IS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER ON A TURN. THE DEALER SAID IT'S THE CLOCKSPRING. NUMEROUS POSTS ON FORUMS MENTION THE SAME ISSUE. THERE'S BEEN A RECALL ON CHRYSLER/DODGE MINIVANS IN THE EARLY 2000'S FOR THE SAME ISSUE (CLOCKSPRING).... BUT NOT ONE FOR THIS VEHICLE! A PROBLEM LIKE THIS APPEARS TO BE A 'CHEAP' PLASTIC PART FAILING - I HAVE 21K MILES ON THIS CAR (BUT OBVIOUSLY PAST THE 3-YR WARRANTY)... PARTS SHOULD *NOT* FAIL AT 21K MILES!

ENGINE
THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE HEAD GASKETS ON THE 2.7 V6 ENGINES. MY CHARGER IS BOILING COOLANT IN THE RESERVOIR COOLANT TANK AND WHEN YOU RUN THE RPM'S UP TO 3X, COOLANT SPRAY OUT THE COOLANT CAP. I REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT, THE COOLANT TOP ITSELF, I DID A RADIATOR FLUSH AND ALSO CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AND AT THIS POINT I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. MY CAR HAS 15400 MILES ON IT AND IT HAPPENS DAY AFTER DAY BUT NOW IT SEEMS AS IF THE ISSUE HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I WAS TOLD THAT ALL OR MOST THE 2.7 ENGINES HAS HAD THIS ISSUE AND HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ENGINE. AFTER EXPLAINING TO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP WHAT MY VEHICLE WAS DOING I PAID $125 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THEY SAID THAT IT FAILED THE BLOCK TEST AND IT'S RECOMMENDED TO TEAR DOWN THE TOP CYLINDER HEADS TO CHECK FOR WARPED GASKETS. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME WITH ANY RESOLUTIONS.
