problem #2

Apr 072006

Charger 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 500 miles
The car stops without warning while driving. No power to the gas pedal while the dashboard lights up with all warning lights. This has happened 3 times, once while driving on the highway. After 2nd time in shop within 2 weeks of buying car, the power control module was replaced. Daimler Chrysler assured me it would never happen again. It did and I am filing under the lemon law for a new car. The car was in the shop for 17 days out of the first 30 I owned it. It is going in again.

problem #1

Aug 242005

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.
