STRUCTURE:BODY
THE TRUNK KEPT OPENING ON IT'S OWN, WITHOUT THE KEY FOB ANYWHERE NEAR IT. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON THE CHARGER AND CHALLENGER MODELS YET THE DEALERSHIP HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT. IT WAS 199.00 BEFORE TAX FOR PARTS AND LABOR FOR A NEW TRUNK SENSOR. THE SCARY PART IS THAT IT OPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION BACKING UP AS WELL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE REPLACING THE FUEL TANK FOR A CRACK (OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN) EXAMINED THE FUEL PUMP. ON THE SIDE OF THE PUMP, INSIDE THE TANK, A BROWN HEATING MARK WAS FOUND IN THE ROOF OF THE PUMP, WHERE THE BLACK AND YELLOW WIRES PASS THROUGH THE BODY. THIS IN THE SAME LOCATION OF WHERE AT LEAST 6 OTHER VEHICLES HAD BURN THROUGH OF THE ROOF, ALLOWING FUEL TO ESCAPE UNDER THE BACK SEAT.

SEAT BELTS
SEAT BELT MALFUNCTION. DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT MALFUNCTIONS FROM TIME TO TIME, WHERE IT DOES NOT RELEASE WHEN PUSHED TO DISENGAGE. IT SEEMS TO GET STUCK IN THE MIDDLE, BUT THE BUTTON ALSO SOMEWHAT STUCK IN HALFWAY POSITION AND ONLY REMEDY IS TO PUSH THE BUCKLE BACK IN AND TRY TO TO PUSH TO RELEASE. MINIMUM OF 3 ATTEMPTS BEFORE IT ACTUALLY RELEASES. OBVIOUSLY IN A PARKED POSITION WHEN THIS OCCURS. BUT BESIDES FRUSTRATING, TIME CONSUMING...IT CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS WHEN PER SAY YOUR ALTERNATOR CATCHES FIRE AND YOU CANT SEEM TO UNBUCKLE YOUR SEATBELT...OR ANY TYOE OF ACCIDENT WHERE TAKING OFF YOUR SEAT BELT IS CRUCIAL TO YOUR SURVIVAL. OR ANOTHER EXAMPLE, UNABLE TO EXIT VEHICHLE WHEN INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY LAW INFORCMENT. ALTHOUGH QUITE EXTREME EXAMPLES, SUCH DO OCCUR.

TRUNK NO LONGER OPENS. CAME WITH TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON ON FOB, BY STEARING WHEEL AND BY TRUNK ON OUTSIDE, AND NONE OF THESE BUTTONS ACTUALLY DO WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO DO. IT IS ATTEMPTING TO RELEASE SOMEHOW BECAUSE YOU CAN HEAR THE TRUNK WHEN ANY OF THESE BUTTON ARE PUSHES, BUT NO ACTUAL MOVEMENT. HUGE TRUNK, AND NO WAY TO UTILIZE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROCKLAND CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (60 NY-304, NANUET, NY 10954, (845) 627-3700) FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AND THE DEALER DISCOVERED THAT THE BATTERY WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE THE CONTACT FOR THE BATTERY, CLAIMING THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS FAULTY.

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING HOME AND STOPPED TO ALLOW ANOTHER CAR TO TURN IN FRONT OF ME, I FLASHED MY LIGHTS ONCE TO ALERT THE OTHER DRIVE TO GO AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON AT A HIGH SPEED. I TRIED TO TURN THEM OFF AND THEY WOULD NOT STOP, I TURNED THE WIPER SWITCH BACKWARDS AND FORWARD AND THEY STILL WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME (IN BROAD SUNNY DAYLIGHT) WITH THE WIPERS GOING VERY FAST ON DRY GLASS! VERY ANNOYING AND UPSETTING - WITH NO WARNING. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE WIPERS WERE STILL GOING. I CONTACTED THE NEAREST DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ASKED ME TO COME THERE. I HAD TO DRIVE TO THEM FROM MY HOME ABOUT 10 MILES TO DEALERSHIP WITH THE WIPERS STILL GOING ON DRY WINDSHIELD (VERY EMBARRASSING AND UPSETTING). ONCE I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD GET THEM TO TURN OFF/STOP, WAS TO REMOVE THE FUSE FROM THE BOX THAT CONTROLS THE WIPERS. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR SOME TYPE OF WARNING I SHOULD HAVE NOTICED PRIOR AND THERE WAS NOTHING! THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT 5 YEARS AGO. WE MAINTAIN SERVICING AND TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF OUR VEHICLES. I'M VERY DISTURBED THAT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM? NOW WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT IT'S THE STEERING COLUMN MODULE? AND ITS ABOUT $800 TO REPAIR! THAT'S RIDICULOUS!

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH WILL NOT TURN ON/OFF, AND CANCEL BUTTON WON'T FUNCTION, HAVE HAD CLUSTER REPLACED, AND SOFTWARE UPDATED TWICE(ONCE AT DEALERSHIP, THEN AT MY MECHANICS), THE "REPAIR" ONLY LASTS FOR AROUND 15,000 - 20,000 MILES BEFORE IT STARTS TO ACT UP AGAIN. MOST TIMES AFTER TURNING ON THE VEHICLE THE STEERING WHEEL/CRUISE CLUSTER NEEDS TO GET HIT VIOLENTLY MULTIPLE TIMES TO ENGAGE(TURN ON) THE CRUISE CONTROL, REGARDLESS ON IF VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, OR IN MOTION. SOME TIMES I END UP MAKING A 25 MIN DRIVE(OR MORE IF IT IS HAPPENING ON A ROAD TRIP) ON THE FREEWAY WITH OUT IT EVEN ENGAGING(IF IT TAKES MORE THAN 3 MIN(TIME TO FREEWAY) TO TRY TO GET IT TO ACTIVATE, THEN I DON'T RISK TRYING TO GET IT ACTIVE, BUT WILL TRY EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES TO TURN IT ON WITH OUT SUCCESS.
