SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T WITH A SERIOUS BRAKE DEFECT AT ONLY 15,000 MILES. I AM ONE OF MANY WHO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT ROTORS ON MY VEHICLE DUE TO SEVERE WARPAGE. I WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FROM OTHER OWNERS AND I'VE DONE MY BEST TO "BABY" THE BRAKES TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM FROM HAPPENING, YET IT HAPPENED ANYWAY. IN MY OPINION, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS PROVIDED ON THIS CAR ARE INFERIOR AND NOT CAPABLE OF STOPPING THE CAR UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME (PAST THE 12,000 MILE WARRANTY COVERAGE). AS A RESULT, MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATIONS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND EXTENSIVE TIME/DISTANCE NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS NOT TO BE THE CASE WITH THE SRT MODEL WHICH USES THICKER ROTORS. I IMPLORE YOUR ORGANIZATION INVESTIGATE THIS SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT IN THE SE AND R/T DODGE CHALLENGER MODELS ASAP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR

STEERING, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I'VE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS MANY HAVE DESCRIBED WHEN YOUR CHALLENGER LOSES ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT LOW SPEEDS. LUCKILY I WAS PULLING INTO A CAR WASH WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND NOT AT MY SONS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHERE THE DEADLY POTENTIAL OF KILLING SCHOOL KIDS WAS THERE...BY THE WAY I WAS ON THE WAY TO PICK UP MY KID WHEN I MADE A LAST MINUTE CHOICE TO GET A QUICK WASH. SO AS STATED BY EVERYONE ELSE HERE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AN WAS ABLE TO START RIGHT BACK UP AFTERWARDS. NOT KNOWING THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT OTHERS WERE HAVING, I OPENED THE HOOD AND STARTED LOOKING FOR LOSE CABLES OR POPPED CAPS AND SUCH AND FINDING NOTHING. ALSO PRIOR TO TURNING THE CAR OFF I JUMPED INTO THE HIDDEN EPIC MENUS AND TOOK PICTURES OF THE IMPORTANT DATA SUCH AS CHIME CODES, CCN SOFTWARE VERSION JUST IN CASE THERE MIGHT BE AN UPDATE. I NOTICED THE OIL PRESSURE WAS AT 0!!! AFTER EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO WORKING I CHECK THE SAME DETAIL AND IT WAS AT A NORMAL 25PSI. SO TOOK CAR INTO DODGE AND AS NORMAL, "WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND THERE ARE NO ISSUES THAT I KNOW. WE ALSO COULDN'T REPRODUCE IT." REALLY? YOU COULDN'T REPRODUCE AN ISSUE THAT I TOLD YOU APPEARS TO BE RANDOM FROM ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN? IT'S LIKE THEY JUST DON'T GIVE TWO [XXX] ABOUT PEOPLE'S LIVES? SO I'LL CALL CORPORATE TOMORROW AND SEE HOW MUCH THEY DON'T CARE EITHER. BY THE WAY, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME FOR ME AND I WAS AT 17,250 MILES. CAR MODEL IS THE RT AUTOMATIC. LET'S HOPE WE CAN GET THEM TO FIX THIS BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE VEHICLE STALLED AFTER BRAKING AT AROUND 15 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED, BUT UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. AS MENTIONED BY MANY OTHERS, THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY RISK AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND AN ECM FLASH WAS CONDUCTED, BUT I AM AFRAID OF THIS ISSUE REOCCURING LIKE SO MANY OTHERS. *TT

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN 30 DAYS THAT THE CHALLENGER R/T HAS SHUT OFF WHILE MAKING A TURN AT SPEEDS OF 25 MPH OR LESS. REFERENCE ODI ID # 10421234 / INCIDENT DATE OF 08/19/2011. WIFE WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN OFF OF A BUSY STREET (40 MPH SPEED LIMIT, INTO MY HOME NEIGHBORHOOD) WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY DIES, STEERING & BRAKES GO HARD, OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATES, AND SHE HAD TO COAST TO A STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, PRESS THE START BUTTON (EVEN THOUGH DASH MESSAGE SAID "KEY FOB NOT FOUND"), CAR RE-STARTS, AND SHE CONTINUED 1/2 MILE TO OUR HOME. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE LETTING MY WIFE OR KIDS DRIVE THIS CAR WHEN THE PROBABILITY OF IT DYING IS VERY POSSIBLE. I JUST DROVE THE CAR UP THE NARROW MOUNTAIN PASSES TO BIG BEAR, CA (8,000 FT ELEVATION) & BACK 3 DAYS AGO, AND THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF IT HAD DIED AND I HAD LOST CONTROL ON A WINDY MOUNTAIN ROAD. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR DIE BEFORE SOMEONE FORCES DODGE / CHRYSLER TO IDENTIFY & CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. CAR IS GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW MORNING, WHERE I EXPECT TO GET ALOT OF NOTHING, BUT ATLEAST MY COMPLAINTS WILL BE INTERRED INTO THE SERVICE SYSTEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN
MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION (LESS THAN 20 MPH) WHEN CAR STALLS, OIL LIGHT ILLUMINATES, AND POWER STEERING & BRAKES BECOME ALMOST UNUSABLE. HAD TO STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY, PUT CAR IN PARK, PUSH THE START BUTTON, AND CONTINUE ON TO MY DESTINATION. THIS IS THE 1ST TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. *TR

VISIBILITY
I HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. ON 8-3-2011 I WENT OUT TO GO TO LUNCH AND NOTICED MY REARVIEW MIRROR HAD FALLEN OFF. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT TOOK A PLUG OF WINDSHIELD WITH IT WHEN IT FELL. IT APPEARS THAT THE WINDSHIELD COULD BE DEFECTIVE. I'M AFRAID THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD MAY JUST SHATTER.I HAVE BEEN WAITING 2 WEEKS FOR AN EXPEDITED ANSWER FROM CHRYSLER. AT THIS TIME THEY HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK PICTURES AND SENT THEM TO CHRYSLER FOR A DETERMINATION. IT'S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE I'M GETTING THE RUN AROUND. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS IS 4TH OR 5TH TIME THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED, HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE COME UP WITH NOTHING. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AS WELL AS THOUSANDS ONLINE, YET THE DEALER STATES THEY ARE UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE. NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND I LOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKING. THE CAR BECOMES VERY HARD TO MANEUVER AND STOP. THE CAR WAS STOPPED IN AN INTERSECTION, AND THANKFULLY THE APPROACHING CARS WERE FAR ENOUGH AWAY TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND START IT UP AND DRIVE OFF WITH NO OTHER ISSUES. THIS INTERMITTENT STALLING IS BECOMING A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED, IF THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ALREADY.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DOWN AN EXPRESSWAY. SHE EXITED AND WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES AS SHE APPROACHED A STOP SIGN. AS THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 15 MPH, THE CAR ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF, WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER. WHEN THE CAR STALLED, IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER AND BRAKE, AS THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL. IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, SHE HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, AND THEN HIT THE START BUTTON. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS, AS THERE WERE OTHER MOTORISTS EXITING THE EXPRESSWAY BEHIND HER. THERE ARE MANY OTHER OPEN COMPLAINTS WITH THE NHTSA FOR THE 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 - EACH DESCRIBING AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM WITH RANDOM STALLING. ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE MANY VERY SIMILAR DESCRIPTIONS OF THIS PROBLEM ON DODGE CHALLENGER OWNER GROUP FORUMS. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND JUST AS OTHER CHALLENGER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO ACTED AS THOUGH THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH MANY DOCUMENTED CASES EXIST. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE, AND LIKE THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REFUSED TO HELP. I SPOKE WITH TWO DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIVES, AND BOTH OF THEM CLAIMED TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE CHALLENGER STALLING ISSUE, AND REFUSED TO TRANSFER ME TO ANOTHER DEPARTMENT THAT MIGHT BE WILLING TO INVESTIGATE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND APPEARS TO BE VERY COMMON WITH THIS PARTICULAR CAR. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I BOUGHT A 2010 SRT8 DODGE CHALLENGER A FEW WEEKS AGO WITH JUST 50 MILES ON IT. I NOW HAVE APPROXIMATELY 800. ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER, THE CAR STALLED TWICE, BOTH TIMES WHILE COMING TO A STOP. THE SAME THING HAPPENED YESTERDAY AND TODAY, MAKING IT 4 TIMES IN LESS THAN A MONTH. SIMILAR TO OTHERS, MY DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF THE STALLING IN THEIR DIAGNOSTICS. 3 OUT OF THE 4 TIMES I WAS IN TRAFFIC, WITH THE OTHER TIME OCCURRING IN A PARKING LOT. THERE WAS NO WARNING WHEN IT HAPPENED. AFTER EACH STALL, I HAD TO PUT THE GEAR IN PARK AND RESTART. THE MOTOR STARTS WITH NO HESITATION AFTER A STALL. THERE ARE DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS. WHO IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED? CURRENTLY, I FEEL THE CARE IS TOO UNSAFE TO HAVE MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I JUST PURCHASED A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8, IT HAS 1324 MILES ON IT. TODAY AS I WAS TURNING IN A ROAD THE CAR ENGINE STALLS! I HAD TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT. AFTER LOOKING ON CAR FORUMS THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON WITH THESE CARS. MY QUESTION IS, WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM BY DODGE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, I TOLD HIM TO GO GOOGLE IT ON THE INTERNET AND HE WOULD FIND THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. *KB

STEERING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CAR HAS STALLED AND SHUT DOWN 3 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING IT IN 08/2010. ALL THREE CASES THE CAR HAD JUST COMPLETED A TURN ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY WHERE LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST IT, WITH NO POWER STEERING, TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ON ALL THREE CASES, THE ONLY INDICATION I HAD THAT THE CAR SHUT OFF WAS THAT THE OIL LIGHT FLASHED ON. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR EASILY THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, BUT THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE. IT FINALLY DID IT AFTER THE THIRD TIME I TRIED IT. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM A FEMALE THAT LOVES HER NEW CAR, BUT MY HUSBAND IS WORRIED ABOUT ME DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY IF IT KEEPS SHUTTING OFF. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND DODGE NEEDS TO GET ON THE BALL AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING WITH THE DEALERSHIP, BUT AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS FROM EVERYONE ELSE, I HAVE LITTLE FAITH THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. DODGE, PLEASE FIX MY CAR!

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8....VEHICLE STALLS OUT WHEN SLOWING DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW THREE TIMES. ONCE IT HAPPENED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE OTHER 2 TIMES IT HAS OCCURRED ON THE ROAD WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. OIL LIGHT CAME ON IN ONE OF THE INSTANCES BUT I AM UNSURE IF IT CAME ON THE OTHER TWO. WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER THIS MAKES THE CAR DIFFICULT TO STEER. ON ALL THREE OCCASIONS, THE CAR DID START BACK UP WITH THE PUSH BUTTON START, HOWEVER IT DID CRANK OVER VERY SLOWLY. CAR IS GOING INTO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO EVALUATE THIS, HOWEVER IT APPEARS THAT WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAVE THIS HAPPEN, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HOPEFULLY THIS CAN BE REMEDIED BEFORE ANYONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. *TT
