UNKNOWN OR OTHER
A RECALL WAS ISSUED IN 2011 FOR SHIFT INTERLOCK LEVERS FOR VEHICLES THAT WERE MANUFACTURED BEGINNING IN JUNE 2007 (RECALL # K39). THE SYMPTOM WAS CUSTOMERS NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT THEIR VEHICLES FROM THE PARK POSITION. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN FEBRUARY 2007. I WAS TOLD BY DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT MY WAS MADE BEFORE THE DATE ALLOWED. I WOULD LIKE TO INQUIRE WHETHER THE COMPONENT AFFECTING THESE VEHICLES WAS ADDED AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED OR IS IT THE SAME. IF IT IS THE SAME PLEASE ALLOW THE EARLIER VEHICLES TO FALL UNDER THIS RECALL ALSO. THANK YOU. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN THE DRIVEWAY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE ON THREE ISOLATED OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST WEEK HAS LUNGES FORWARD WHILE STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT, ANOTHER INSTANCE AT A STOP SIGN AND AS OF TODAY WHILE WAITING IN LINE AT A LOCAL COFFEE SHOP DRIVE THROUGH. ON EACH OCCASION MY VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP FOR ROUGHLY A MINUTE, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SELF REV TO 3500 RPM. ON ALL OCCASIONS I HAD TO IMMEDIALTY PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL TO PREVENT CATASTROPHIC ENDANGERMENT TO MYSELF, SURROUNDING VEHICLES AND PERSONS. THIS CONDITION IS A DETRIMENT TO HE SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER DODGE REFUSES TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

I WAS IN A DRIVE THRU WAITING ON THE CASHIER, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION AND POP FROM UNDER MY ENGINE. I COULD ALSO FEEL IT THROUGH MY BRAKE PEDAL. SCARED AND WONDERING WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED? I IMMEDIATELY PULLED FORWARD AND PARKED MY CAR AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I GOT OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED FLUID LEAKING. I POPPED THE HOOD AND FOUND SOME SHATTERED PLASTIC PIECES. UPON MY 1ST INSPECTIONS MY FAN WAS WHAT SHATTERED. I MADE A FEW CALLS AND WHEN A MECHANIC CAME TO INSPECT 20 MINUTES LATER, HE SAID THE FAN EXPLODED CAUSING PIECES TO THEN HIT THE RADIATOR. NOW BOTH PARTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. NOW INVESTIGATION, I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR CHARGERS AND I'M WONDERING WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL. I CANT EVEN IMAGINE WHAT COULD'VE HAPPENED IF I WAS DRIVING. I ALSO HAD MY CHILD IN THE CAR. SCARY ENOUGH WHILE THE CAR WASN'T MOVING. TIS HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE WITH NO PRIOR WARNINGS.

DRIVING ON CITY STREET SPEED LIMIT 40MPH CAR BEGAN OVERHEATING. IN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE OVERHEATING ISSUE A NEW WATER PUMP AND 2 NEW RADIATORS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. THE INITIAL RADIATOR LITERALLY HAD THE ENTIRE BOTTOM FALL OUT. THE COOLING FANS WILL NOT COME ON AND ARE DAMAGED. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE DAMAGE TO THE COOLING FANS IS WHAT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE RADIATOR. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR 3 YEARS NOW DRIVING ANOTHER CAR IF TRAVELING MORE THAN 1 MILE FROM MY HOME. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A PROBLEM CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURERL

WHEELS
I PURCHASED A SET OF NEXEN ROADIAN HP 102V TIRES IN JULY 2015, SIZE 265/35/22. I RECENTLY WENT TO GET MY VEHICLE SERVICED WHEN I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES AND WAS ASKED TO COME TAKE A LOOK. ALL 4 OF MY TIRES HAD CRACKED AROUND THE SHOULDER OF THE TIRES, AND THE CRACKING WAS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE TIRE THAT I HAVE NO VISION OF. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE NEVER KNOWN IF I HADN'T TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN TO BE SERVICED. I HAVE ONLY PUT A LITTLE OVER 20,000 MILES ON THESE TIRES AND THE TREADING IS GREAT WHICH DOESN'T SHOW ANY SIGNS OF NEGLECT. THE PLACE I PURCHASED THE TIRES FROM AGREED THAT THE TIRES ARE IN GREAT CONDITION, & THE TIRES HAD THE CORRECT PRESSURE IN THE ETC. THEY ALSO SAID THAT I'M NOT THE FIRST PERSON THAT HAS COME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH NEXEN ROADIAN HP TIRES. THEY SENT ALL OF THE PAPERWORK IN TO THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY ARE THE WORST. BERNARDO WAS VERY RUDE AND TRYING TO PUT BLAME ON THE CUSTOMER (ME) WHEN HE WAS CLEARLY TOLD BY THE PLACE I PURCHASED THE TIRES FROM WHICH ARE THE SAME ONE'S THAT TOOK PICTURES OF THE TIRES AND DID THE INSPECTION THAT THEY SEE ABSOLUTELY NO FAULT OF MINE AND THAT THE TIRES ARE JUST DEFECTIVE. SO THEN I ASKED FOR THE DOT NUMBERS, AND WHAT DO WE DISCOVER??? THE MANUFACTURING DATE WAS STAMPED 4715, HOW COULD THIS BE IF I PURCHASED THE TIRES IN JULY 2015? THERE IS SOMETHING SHADY GOING ON AND NEXEN NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, MY CAR HAS BEEN AT MCCARTHY TIRE FOR 2 WEEKS AND NOW THAT THE DOT ISSUE HAS BEEN DISCOVERED NO ONE HAS AN ANSWER TO WHY IT'S STAMPED FOR THE 47TH WEEK OF 2015, IT'S ONLY 52 WEEKS IN A YEAR WHICH MEANS I WOULD'VE HAD TO BY THOSE TIRES IN NOVEMBER 2015. THE REVIEWS I'M READING ON NEXEN TIRES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING, WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE BEFORE A RECALL IS DONE ON NEXEN TIRES?

POWER TRAIN, STEERING
CAR STARTED AND WOULDN'T MOVE OUT OF PARK. HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. BROKEN INTERNAL SHIFTER MECHANISM, THEY REPLACED THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. THIS IS A RECALL ON OTHER MODELS BUT NOT THE SRT 8. THE SRT 8 MODEL NEEDS TO BE ADDED TOO. THE CAR ONLY HAD 62,000 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURRED.
