FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING AT TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES. SOMETIMES AFTER REFUELING. MOSTLY AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING 55 OR 60 MPH AND WHILE SLOWING TO TURN CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE ALL POWERS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, OIL AND ETC ALL COME ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 48,000 ORIGINAL MILES. VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING WITH MY PRECIOUS GRANDBABIES IN THE CAR. HAVE HAD TO THE CAR TO TWO DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND THEY CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM. I HAVE EVEN REPLACE THE COMPUTER AND IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL. BASED ON AN ORIGINAL E-MAIL I SENT NHTSA ON 3/6/17, AS SUGGESTED, I AM "FILING A COMPLAINT" I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE (S43 / NHTSA 16V-352) FOR THE AIRBAG IN MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER SOMETIME IN THE LATE SUMMER / EARLY FALL OF 2016. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL CHRYSLER (PORT JEFF CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE) DEALERSHIP ON AT LEAST 4 OCCASIONS TO SCHEDULE THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. THE FIRST 2 CALLS WERE MADE SOMETIME LATE SUMMER / EARLY FALL 2016, A THIRD CALL WAS MADE ON DEC 2, 2016, AND A 4TH CALL WAS MADE ON FEB 17, 2017. DURING THIS LAST PHONE CONVERSATION (FEB 17) THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME "WE HAVE NO IDEA WHEN WE ARE GETTING THE PARTS". IN THE "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" NOTICE I RECEIVED IT STATES "IF YOUR DEALER FAILS OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT WITHOUT CHARGE AND WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME, YOU MAY SUBMIT A WRITTEN COMPLAINT TO THE ADMINISTRATOR, NHTSA...." I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE EXTENSIVE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. BUT IS THE DELAY I AM EXPERIENCING AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL. I WILL ADD THAT I AM THE CAR'S ORIGINAL OWNER AND THAT I DID NOT PURCHASE THE CAR FROM THE ABOVE MENTIONED DEALERSHIP, AS THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WAS CLOSED BY CHRYSLER SEVERAL YEARS BACK. SINCE THAT CLOSING I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO PORT JEFF CHRYSLER FOR NUMEROUS SERVICES AS WELL AS RECALLS, AND HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR TIMELY SERVICE. I AM JUST CONCERNED THAT ONE OF THE MORE CRITICAL SAFETY FEATURES IN A VEHICLE IS TAKING SO LONG TO CORRECT. PLEASE ADVISE IF THIS IS AN ACCEPTABLE TIME FRAME FOR THE RECALL TO BE CORRECTED. PS: AN ENTRY FOR THE "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN" FIELD BELOW IS REQUIRED. I POSTED AUG 15, 2016 AS AN ON OR ABOUT DATE IN WHICH, TO THE BEST OF MY RECOLLECTION, IS WHEN I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON FEB 25TH I PUT GAS IN MY VEHICLE, LATER THAT DAY I NOTICED A HIGH GASOLINE SCENT FROM MY CAR. IE; 10 DAYS PRIOR I HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT MY LOCAL ARRIGO DODGE DEALERSHIP. I WAITED UNTIL THE NEXT TO SEE IF THE SMELL HAD GONE AWAY, ASSUMING I HAD PUT BAD GAS IN MY CAR. THE NEXT DAY BEFORE I COULD OPEN MY CAR DOORS I COULD SMELL THE GASOLINE FROM STANDING OUTSIDE MY CAR. STILL ASSUMING I HAD BAD GAS I DECIDED TO DRIVE OUT AS MUCH OF THE GAS AS POSSIBLE. WHEN I REALIZED THE SMELL WOULD NOT GO AWAY, I WENT ONLINE AND DID SOME RESEARCH, WHICH LEAD TO THIS BEING A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE VEHICLES, I WATCHED MULTIPLE VIDEOS AND READ MULTIPLE COMMENTS. ON FEB 27TH I FOLLOWED SOME STEPS FROM VIDEOS. I TOOK MY BACK SEAT OUT LIFTED THE GUARD AND PULLED OF THE FUEL PUMP COVER, AND LOW AND BEHOLD THERE WAS GAS. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. I DRIVE MY MOTHER AND MY DAUGHTER IN MY CAR, ANYTHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE ON FEB 28TH TO REPORT THE PROBLEM TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, SEEING THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE AND COMPLAINT. DODGE WAS NOT MUCH HELP. THIS PROBLEM THAT DODGE IGNORES HAS COST ME EMOTIONAL DISTRESS AND MORE MONEY THAN I EXPECT TO SPEND TO FIX. DODGE SHOWS NO INTEREST OR CARE IN THIS CASE AS THIS BEING A HAZARD. I AM COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE WAY DODGE IS DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE. THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I SPOKE WITH DID NOT GIVE ME ANY FOR OF EASE OR COMFORT OR OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE ON HOW THIS CAN BE FIXED. WHILE IT MAY SEEM LIKE AN EASY FIX TO THAT REP, THIS PROBLEM GOES BEYOND JUST FIXING. ITS A FIRE HAZARD AND DODGE NEEDS TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS. MAYBE WHEN SOMETHING DRASTIC HAPPENS ON THIS ACCOUNT I GUESS THAT WHEN IT MAY MATTER TO THIS COMPANY. I MY SELF HAVE TAKEN MULTIPLE PICTURES AND VIDEOS.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THE LAST TIME I FILLED UP MY CAR, IT KEPT STALLING AND I WOULD LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHILE IN TRAFFIC WITH MY CHILDREN IN CAR. NOT VERY SAFE FEELING. SCARED I WAS GOING TO GET HIT WITH FAMILY IN CAR. IT WOULD START UP BUT IT WOULD KEEP STALLING UNTIL I RAN A FEW GALLONS OUT OF IT. I FILLED IT UP AGAIN TODAY AND NOTICED A SUCKING NOISE COMING FROM GAS TANK. IT STARTED UP THEN STALLED AS I TOOK OFF. SO I PULLED OVER AND KEPT STARTING IT UP EVERY TIME IT STALLED. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF NOT STALLING I DROVE HOME AND PARKED IN GARAGE. IT WOULD STALL GOING STRAIGHT AND TURNING.

DROVE THE CAR TO GET A CAR WASH. CAR WENT THROUGH THE CLEANING PROCESS AND THEY WERE GOING TO START TO THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START. HAD TO HAVE IT PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING, AFTER A WHILE THE CAR STARTED BUT IDLED VERY ROUGH AND BLUEISH SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST PIPES. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID IT'S A BLOWN HEAD GASKET ALONG WITH VALVES DROPPING INTO THE CYLINDER CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE. NO PRE WARNING AND I WAS VERY RELIGIOUS WITH MAINTENANCE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE FIXED BY DODGE. NOW I NEED TO BUY A NEW CAR.
