SEATS
A FEW MONTHS AGO I NOTICED THE PASSENGER SEAT WOULD SHAKE WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND ANY SPEED. THEN SUDDENLY THE SEAT STARTED HAVING TROUBLE SLIDING BACK AND FORTH WHEN TRYING TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE REAR SEAT. THEN THE SEAT STOPPED LOCKING IN PLACE AND MY HUSBAND OFTEN COMPLAINED THAT HE WAS FEELING THE SEAT SLIDE BACK AND FORTH. THEN FINALLY, ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO DURNING A RAIN STORM ON THE WAY TO WORK JUST ABOUT TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRAFFIC SUDDENLY STOPPED, I WAS UNABLE TO STOP STOPPING TIME AND I HAD A MINOR FENDER BENDER (10MPH OR LESS). THE SMALL IMPACT MADE THE PASSENGER SEAT MOVE ALL THE WAY FORWARD, THE SEATBELT MANAGED TO DIG INTO THE SEAT POSSIBLE STOPPING THE SEAT FROM GOING EVEN FURTHER BUT THEN AGAIN THE SEAT MIGHT HAVE JUST RAN OUT OF TRACK. WHATEVER THE CASE MIGHT HAVE BEEN, I CAN'T IMAGE THE INJURIES THIS MIGHT HAVE CAUSED IF I HAD A PASSENGER SITTING IN THIS SEAT THEY POSSIBLY WOULD HAVE FACE PLANTED ON THE DASHBOARD OR MUCH WORSE. MY CHALLENGER IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR A NON FUNCTIONING PASSENGER SEAT I HOPE THEY FIX THE SEAT BECAUSE I HONESTLY DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE SEAT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
EXTERIOR LIGHTS FLASH CONSTANTLY WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND TURNED OFF. SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS DON'T FLASH, THEY SIMPLY WILL NOT TURN OFF AT ALL AFTER CAR IS TURNED OFF. HAS HAD A RELAY REPLACED 3 TIMES SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AT THE END OF 2014, THE ISSUE DESCRIBED HAS KILLED THE BATTERY NUMEROUS TIMES. NOWADAYS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASH CONSTANTLY AS WELL WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED ON. NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUES ON THIS VIN BUT THIS 4 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 65000 MILES HAS BEEN WORKED ON 6 TIMES IN JUST THE LAST TWO YEARS DUE TO COUNTLESS ISSUES THAT INCLUDE THE WORST AND MOST PERSISTENT ISSUE, BEING THE FAULTY LIGHTING. OTHER ISSUES INCLUDE THE OXYGEN SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING RESULTING IN THE ENGINE RATTLING WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR ACCELERATING AND HIGH FUEL CONSUMPTION ( A FULL GAS TANK WOULD BE EMPTY WITHIN THREE DAYS DRIVING LOCALLY IN A FIVE MILE RADIUS) AS WELL AS TRACTION CONTROL FAILING RESULTING IN NEAR ACCIDENTS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AFTER STARTING THE CAR. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON BUT IS MAKING A LOUD CLICKING SOUND WHEN MAKING TIGHT RIGHT TURNS. DAY AFTER THE CLICKING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. THE CAR WAS STILL ON BUT WITH NO ACCELERATION. PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDDLE WOULD REV THE ENGINE WITH NO PROGRESS. I STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED IT OFF AND CHECKED MY FLUIDS UNDER THE HOOD. ALL LOOKED FINE. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, IT WOULD RUN THEN LOSE ACCELERATION AGAIN. CAR THEN BECAME UNRESPONSIVE AND TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS AND STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. SERVICE ADVISER SAID THE CAR IS NOT "COMMUNICATING." I AM CURRENTLY PAYING FOR A RENTAL OUT OF POCKET. FCA SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS BASED ON MY VIN. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE P60/ALTERNATOR RECALL.

SERVICE BRAKES
I PARKED MY CAR IN BACK ROW OF A PARKING LOT TO AVOID DINGS. SET PARKING BRAKE. APPROXIMATELY 1 HR LATER MY CAR WAS SEEN ROLLING ACROSS PARKING LOT AND IMPACTED ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. I WENT TO DEALER WHO AFTER I EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPEN SAID HE SAW NO RECALLS AND WOULD NOT COVER. I THEN CALLED DODGE SRT AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD TRANSPIRED. ON HOLD 2 SEPARATE TIMES . DODGE SRT PREMIUM ISSUED ME A CASE# OF 34483211 ON JUNE 6 2018 AND ASKED ME TO BRING CAR INTO DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. ONCE CAR WAS AT DEALERSHIP THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED AND I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHY THE BRAKE CAME OUT OF ADJUSTMENT WHILE PARKING BRAKE WAS SET, BUT HAD NO EXPLANATION BEYOND THAT. I AGAIN EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL HAVING OWNED NUMEROUS DODGES OVER THE LAST 5 YEARSI THAT I COULD NOT EXCEPT THAT AND DODGE AGREED AND SAID THAT THIS WAS MOVING UP TO SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS, AND SOMEONE WOULD BE IN CONTACT. THE INSPECTION WAS DONE LAST TUESDAY THE 19TH THE INSPECTOR INFORMED ME HIS INSPECTION WAS COMPLETE AND I COULD PICK UP MY CAR. HE ASSURED ME THE BRAKE WAS WORKING AND THAT I COULD BRING IT HOME AND WAIT FOR THE INVESTIGATION BEFORE REPAIRING THE BUMPER AND GRILLE. I ARRIVED LAST WEDS TO GET MY CAR AND WAS TOLD UNLESS I PAY THE REPAIR BILL I WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED MY CAR BACK. I HAVE SINCE CALLED DODGE 2 MORE TIMES AND I AM TOLD THIS IS A SEALED FILE AND THEY CAN NOT TELL ME ANYTHING AND HAVE NO PERSON I CAN CONTACT TO RESOLVE THIS. MY COLLECTOR CAR IS CURRENTLY STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP OUTSIDE IN A PARKING LOT EXPOSED TO WEATHER AND WHO KNOWS WHAT, AND I STILL HAVE NO RESPONSE FROM DODGE OTHER THAT THIS IS UNDER SPECIAL INVESTIGATION AND THEY WILL CONTACT ME. I DO NOT HAVE ANY PAPERWORK FROM THE INSPECTORS REPORT AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULD ONLY GIVE ME THE BILL THEY SAY I AM TO PAY BECAUSE THE CASE# IS NOT SHOWING UP ON FILE DUE TO BEING SEALED.
