I purchased my Dodge Charger in August of 06. At 22,316 miles, I started experiencing a clunking in the front end. The left outer tie rod needed to be replaced. It was covered by the warranty. I purchased the extended warranty for 5/50,000. At 51,972 the clunking returned. The remaining tie rods, inner and outer, including the one that was replaced at 22,316 had to be replaced. As of now my car has 67,800 miles on it and in between 51,972 and 67,800 miles, the clunking has returned several times. I have had a left control arm, lower ball joint, sway bar link, control arm bushings, rt and lt tension struts and sway bar bushings all replaced. I think for a car with only 67,000 miles on it...... this is way too many problems, especially when all the problems are in one area of the car. It sure would be great if Dodge would own up to these front end problems and stand by their product and help the american consumers out with the repair bills.

After fueling my 2006 Dodge Charger R/T, the car will begin to sputter and completely shut-off. This results in the loss of power steering and having to put the car into park in order to restart. It will occur multiple times, sometimes while idling, before it will begin to act normally.it has been happening for several months. At first, it was sporadic but now it is everytime I fill up the gas tank. It can be very dangerous as it can happen anytime and without warning.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that the power steering assist failed and the steering wheel completely detached from the steering column. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the tie rod on the front passenger side was cracked. As a result, the inner and outer tie rods, as well as the control arm would need replacing. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 85,000 and the current mileage was 114,000.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to a repair shop and while being test driven, the mechanic found a failure with the steering. The mechanic stated that the vehicle had a telescopic steering system. As a result, whenever it was in a forward position the vehicle failed to turn since it was in contact with a metal piece. The vehicle was taken to dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 97,065.

I bought my 2006 Dodge Charger R/T brand new in June of 2006. I always filled the tank with gas until the pump automatically shutoff. I never topped off with gas or continued filling the tank once the pump would automatically stop. This was never a problem for 5 years. Last year in October of 2011 at around 73,000 miles the car would stall and turn off the engine occasionally right after filling up in live traffic usually at a stop light or parking lot driveway. I would have to put the transmission shifter from drive to park since the vehicle shut off and restart the car with no problem. Today at 75,600 miles on March 27, 2012; I filled up as usual and the car engine turned off in traffic on 3 different occasions. I read on Chrysler owners' forums online this is a common problem with plenty of Chrysler vehicles and Chrysler is aware of it. The fix is a whole new fuel tank with a better fuel vapor valve and the cost would run $1300-$2000 for various car, van, and truck owners. The only other method I was advised by a Dodge service advisor was not to fill the car up all the way, perhaps to 3/4 of a tank full. This is dangerous for any driver when a car engine stops, steering locks, and there is traffic behind you. Some drivers will not know how to react in this situation. Chrysler should offer a recall to fix this problem with the gas tank instead of charging the owner.

The problem started when I bought it brand new and kept bringing back to the dealer. Failure to find problem. Notice a lot of other customers having the same problem. Brought car to an expert and found the suspension which includes shocks, struts, brakes etc. Were not the right part for this model. Expert changed necessary parts and have not had a problem there after. Expert did research and dealer wanted to know what he did to fix it and he would not comply. They should do the research and fix the problem. I hope everyone files a complaint and I would tell Dodge they fix it or I will file a defect lawsuit for complete refund of a $42,000 car plus inconvenience.

At certain speeds my vehicle will vibrate. Going over speed bumps or into even the slightest pot hole the vehicle will vibrate. When slowing down or coming to a stop the front end will vibrate. Took the vehicle to the dealership and they advised my front tires needed to be changed and/or rotated to the back due to an unusual wearing on the tires. The wear was on the outisde of the tires. When took the vehicle back into Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealer service department they advised I will probably soon be needing new tire rod ends and this is what may have caused my front tires to wear so easily. Especially purchasing the car used in July 2010 with all brand new tires and now needing to replace all four and its only December 2011. Service department manager advised this was a big issue with the early model Chargers but Chrysler still has yet to issue a recall. I prolonged taking the vehicle in to purchase new tire rods. I went in recently for an oil change and the service manager advised me I no longer need to be driving my vehicle with the rods I have on. It was a recommendation earlier but now he is highly advising me not to drive. Within 3 oil changes the rods have diminished greatly. Something needs to be done Chrysler is letting the purchasers take the butt-end of this issue.

At 18,500 we had to replace the left front outer tie rod end. Now at 33,000 we are being told the same thing. I have on line and see that there are quite a few others with this same problem. This is a serious issue and would like something done as far as a review or something. One gentleman was going 55 mph when his broke and they crashed. I don't want this to be me nor do we have over $400 to put towards this car every 15K miles.

There was a clunking noise which caused the steering to become uncontrollable. The vehicle had to be pulled to the curb while the contact pumped the brake pedal to come to a complete stop. After the vehicle was stopped, the front driver side tire was protruding inward. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop where the contact was awaiting diagnosis of the failure. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer werr contacted. The failure mileage was 113,163.

2006 Charger rt front end I have replaced inner and outer tie rod ends and a wheel bearing over 61K miles. The front end wobbles badly at high speed. Parts (tension struts) are national back order etc etc. Any dealer and/or local service station will tell you that there front ends are very weak and not durable. The components last for just about the min warrant (3/36) period.

I have a Dodge Charger rt 06. I took it to the dealership a year ago to replace a part on the front end. There was a noise coming from the front end. Now recently, I almost got into an accident because brakes almost didn't stop me in time and I wasn't speeding. Before all of this, when I speed up, the front end and steering wheel shakes or wobbles and this has me worried. If by chance I encounter bad weather, because I do live in Michigan, I hope something on the Charger doesn't fail when I need it the most. To of my friends have also experience problems with 300 C's and Chargers.

I have a 2006 Dodge daytona Charger R/T. 28881 miles 3 yrs and 3 months old. Just replaced passenger side outside tie rod end and need to replace tension strut also on passenger side. Now I need to check other tie rod ends because I think there going bad also. Also passenger side shock is leaking. This should not be happening to a vehicle at 3 yrs old and 28881 miles. Car is not driven hard.

- Lorain, OH, USA

I have taken my car to the dealership 5 times to have issues fixed. Each time I got the car back, it was worse. I had 13 issues originally with the car. I ended up suing, and got a very small settlement- Dodge refused to cooperate. I still have each and every problem, and do not know what else to do. My car dies while in reverse, the brakes malfunction constantly, the window panel remains broken due to their inept work, the radio cuts off, the dash lights die @ night, etc. I would truly appreciate it if someone could actually help me. I do not know what else to do. I love my car dearly, but something needs to be done. The date I put as date of incident is when this all started.

- West Palm Beach, FL, USA

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. The current mileage on the vehicle is 15,500. When driving 60 mph or higher the entire vehicle vibrates. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer for this reason; however the dealer had been unable to duplicate the problem. The contact did not want to guess the failure mileage.

- Chambersburg, PA, USA

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.
