Charger

  • miles
We had purchased a 2008 Dodge Charger with 2 miles. Approximately 3-4 months after we had purchased the vehicle it had engine oil on crankshaft seal, speedometer was erratic it would go from 60-0 from cruising, it had a jolt pulling feeling. From that point on the air conditioner was not cooling properly, & had a foul smell, cruise control would cancel by itself. Then on 06/23/2008 it had engine oil leak. So we decided to do something that would just completely ruin our credit, we voluntarily turned in the car. As of today 02/26/2009 we have a balance as per Chrysler of 7,500 dollars because they were only able to sell it for 17,000. I have invoices, to proof what our issues were, some were replaced, some tsb was and wasn't found. We had the vehicle for only 7-8 months. And for this to be such an issue with a brand new vehicle to me was just ridiculous. Since that was the main reason I had purchased a brand new car in the first place.

Charger 6-cyl

The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Charger. When applying pressure to the brakes, the vehicle vibrates excessively. The vehicle stalled twice when coming to a complete stop. While driving over 40 mph, the speedometer dropped to zero. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the key module and RPM module; however, the failure remains. She filed a complaint with the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 6 and current mileage was 25,970.
