problem #2

Mar 112009

Charger

  • 21,120 miles
The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. The contact purchased his vehicle used from the dealer on March 9, 2009. Three days later, the front wheels began to shimmy badly and the trunk leaks when it rains. He took the vehicle back to the dealer and they stated that they could not balance the wheels on the front end. He was advised to visit a Dodge dealer; however, Dodge could not balance the wheels as well. Currenlty, the Dodge dealer is attempting to repair the trunk issue and possibly the wheels again. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 21,120.

problem #1

Charger 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100 miles
I am about to file a lemon law complaint because Dodge has been "unable to duplicate" the most serious problems that have plagued my vehicle, a 2006 Dodge Charger R/T, since day four of my ownership. I have owned this car for 68 days and of those, I have only been able to drive the functioning car for 19 days. They have fixed a number of minor issues and notified me that they would be unable to fix or do not know how to fix at this time, some minor issues including the air conditioning compressor problems (which they say they have also been "unable to duplicate". the serious issues that are occurring when it idles, when it accelerates and with what seems to be the suspension and possibly both the engine and transmission. Of those 68 days, they have come to pick up my car on three different occasions to try and fix it, the last time (which continues currently) they have had my car for four weeks. I happen to know (upon researching after the prolonged period they have had the car) that tsb's or technical service bulletins have been issued for every problem that is occurring with my car. Additionally, I have taken my car to two different mechanics (one Dodge dealership and one independent mechanic) that have witnessed these malfunctions. I would like to know what my options are legally for getting some kind of resolution.
