WE HAVEN'T HAD A SPECIFIC INCIDENT BUT SEVERAL MONTHS AGO WE WERE SENT A RECALL NOTIFICATION ON THE DODGE CHALLENGER STATING THAT "THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING IN YOUR VEHICLE MAY RUPTURE, DUE TO EXCESSIVE OR INTERNAL PRESSURE, DURING NORMAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EVENTS. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY..." WE HAVE CONTACTED FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES AND A LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE BOTH REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND HAVE NO OTHER SOLUTIONS. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WHEN A RECALL IS ISSUED THE MANUFACTURER IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION - EITHER FIXING THE PROBLEM OR BUYING BACK THE VEHICLE. THIS IS CLEARLY A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, WE LIVE IN TEXAS SO THE HUMIDITY STATEMENT DEFINITELY APPLIES AND WITH NO FIX WE'RE NOT ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE NOW SO SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. DODGE NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR START BUYING BACK VEHICLES. WE NEED TO BE DRIVING A SAFE VEHICLE, WE HAVE AN INFANT AND WE CAN'T AFFORD TO JUST PARK THAT CAR WHILE DODGE TWIDDLES IT'S FINGERS.

THERE IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE TREMECS AS ASSEMBLED IN 2009... THE GREASE THEY USED WAS INCORRECT. PLEASE REFERENCE VEHICLE ISSUE TRANS IS HARD TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. YEAR 2009 MODEL LC - CHALLENGER ENGINE 6.1L SRT HEMI (SMPI) V8, 5.7L HEMI VCT, 5.7L HEMI VCT MDS (EZD) SYSTEM OR COMPONENT;GEAR DRIVER INPUT / VEHICLE OPERATION; SHIFTING CASE VERIFICATION; VEHICLE AFFECTED IS THE LC CHALLENGER EQUIPPED WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO SHIFT IN AND OUT OF GEAR. RECOMMENDATION ;REPAIR THIS CONDITION BY REMOVING THE TRANSMISSION, CLEANING THE TRANSMISSION INPUT SHAFT SPLINES AND THE CLUTCH HUB SPLINES, REGREASING, AND PUTTING ALL THE SAME PARTS BACK TOGETHER. NO PARTS NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE CLUTCH DISC WEAR OR SHAFT/HUB SPLINE WEAR ARE NOT CONTRIBUTING FACTORS. THE CLUTCH SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE FLYWHEEL TO PROPERLY CLEAN THE CLUTCH SPLINES, BECAUSE IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE CLUTCH SPLINES OTHERWISE. DO NOT USE HARSH SPRAY SOLVENTS (BRAKE CLEAN, ETC.) ON THE CLUTCH DISCS... CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO KEEP CLEANING SOLVENTS AWAY FROM THE CLUTCH FRICTION MATERIAL. MINERAL SPIRITS OR SIMILAR WILL GET THE JOB DONE. BOTH OF THE CLUTCH HUB SPLINES AND TRANSMISSION INPUT SHAFT SPLINES MUST BE CAREFULLY CLEANED. WHEN APPLYING THE GREASE FOR REASSEMBLY, THE ENTIRE EXPOSED LENGTH OF THE CLUTCH HUB SPLINES (BOTH DISCS) AND THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE INPUT SHAFT SHOULD BE LIGHTLY COATED WITH THE P/N 05083150AA GREASE, SPREAD EVENLY ON ALL SPLINES WITHOUT EXCESS. THE FLYWHEEL DOES NOT NEED TO BE REMOVED FOR THIS REPAIR. NEW CLUTCH PRESSURE PLATE TO FLYWHEEL BOLTS P/N 06508880AA (QUANTITY 6) MUST BE USED. SAW THIS HAPPEN YESTERDAY WITH DIFFICULTY SHIFTING OUT OF FIRST ON AN INCLINE. ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE SEEING THIS PROBLEM THAT A RECALL MUST HAPPEN. THIS CAN AFFECT THE TRANSMISSION AT SPEED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, MY 2009 DODGE CHALLENGER RANDOMLY CUTS OFF. I CAN BARELY TURN MY STEERING WHEEL. THE ENGINE WAS OFF. MY STEREO, LIGHTS WERE ALL STILL ON AND NEVER CUT OFF. I NEVER HAD ANY KIND OF WARNING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. MY CAR AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK DOES THIS AT ANY GIVEN TIME. MY CAR NEVER INDICATES ANYTHING IS WRONG. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO AUTO ZONE AND HAD A DIAGNOSTIC RAN TO SEE IF IT WOULD TELL ME WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH MY CAR. NOTHING TURNED UP. *TR
