  • 54,000 miles
My 2014 Dodge Charger which has 55000 miles started to have issues with the back up camera, about 3 months ago it would start flickering when in reverse and sometimes have scratch out type screen. And when it would work the camera was somehow in reverse. So backing out of my driveway I seen a car in the camera on the left but luckily when I turned around I realized it was on the opposite side.

I have owned the car for a little over a year, since then I have had the steering wheel and the steering wheel rod/column completely come out in my lap.. once while driving. I have already had it fixed by my certified preowned warranty and once again it has done it. This time it took off my windshield wiper lever, it has completely destroyed my interior and unfortunately the warranty did not cover that which is not fair. Remember the steering wheel column and rod is very heavy and does much damage when it falls in your lap while driving. I have been the only owner, it has never been in an accident, I have only serviced and bought it from a Dodge dealership. The car now has 69,000 miles and recently was fixed over a month ago and issue still remains. My car was in the shop for over 20 days I did not get a rental vehicle and it was the most pain I've ever experienced when it comes to dealing with warrantees and dealerships I have ever experienced in my life. This needs to be addressed or I will take other matters. I have been the only owner, it has never been in an accident, I have only serviced and bought it from a Dodge dealership.

And now the cruise control does not work

(pab) I have 2 recalls on my 2014 Dodge Charger that are serious safety concerns. The air may eject metal fragments into the interior of car which could cause serious injury or death upon collision. I attempted several time today to get assistance from Chrysler/Dodge with a loaner/rental car until my vehicle could be fixed. The air bags needed to resolve the safety issue will not be in until after Feb 26th causing me not to have adequate safe transportation to and from work and for my family. I live in a rural area with 2 lane highways and travel 49.5 miles one way to work each day with deer and other animals constantly running into the road. I was told by Chrysler that I just need to be careful driving but was advised by insurance agent to not drive the vehicle until fixed as accidents happen unannounced and daily. Noone within the Chrysler organization was willing to assist me with a rental or loaner vehicle. I was called by an agent who set an appointment for Monday, Feb 18th @ 3:30 knowing that the air bag was not in stock. I am extremely upset and exhausted with the 4 + hours I spent on the phone today to not receive any resolution. I will never purchase from Chrysler again and really need a safe ride for myself, wife, 5 and 6 year olds, and 2 week old son to travel until this issue caused by Chrysler is resolved.

Recently my back up camera stopped working. (71,000miles) it would work then it wouldn't. it has been on and off for about a week now but recently I went to back up looking at my camera which I never depend on totally except for the blind spots. As I was backing out I noticed on the camera a person so I made sure to turn a bit in the other direction but as I looked behind me I did not see this person to the left but me but they were to the right of me. The camera has some how reversed the images. I was a bit confused until I was in my own driveway getting ready to back out and noticed my house on the wrong side of the camera. If almost running over a pedestrian is not a safety issue then I do not know what is!!! this could be an issue if someone does not realize it has happened and does not look behind them.

I was driving down the road and I made a left turn.when making a left turn I could feel the steering wheel shaking and could hear a noise sounding like the tire is going to fall from up under the vehicle.I became scared and scheduled an appointment for service at Dodge.they said they replaced the tire rods and also replaced the front bearings on vehicle.days later the same noise is still there took it back and they said they tightened a bar on the front end.the next day same noise still exists but is now getting worse.with every bump I go over the front end sounds like it is going to fall apart.I reached back out to the dealership and they say there is nothing else they can do.I also went to get a 2nd opinion and same thing nothing found. I'm scared that my wheel will eventually fall off and cause a severe accident.I need help

Safety recall S03/NHTSA 16V-046. The dealer, parkway Chrysler Dodge, in clinton twp., Michigan failed to remedy this defect within a reasonable time. I first notified the dealer on 4/22/2016, and have called repeatedly to set up an appointment. They have me on a waiting list, and it already has been 4 months. The dealer says Chrysler will only send them a limited number of parts, so I could be waiting many more months for the repair. I feel this is unacceptable.

I've had 3 crashes because of the electronic gear shifter. Crash #1) I pulled over to use my phone I put the car in park only to heard a thump. I hit the Benz in front of me damaging both my car and the Mercedes Benz. Crash #2 I backed into a parking space put the car in park and went to the trunk to get some bottled water if I had jumped out of the way I would have been pinned against a brick wall. Crashed #3) the car ran into a fence after I put it in park and got out. Causing further damage to the front bumper. It's just a matter of time before someone get seriously hurt or killed because of this weird gear shifter. Because the stick jums back to the center you never know what gear you're in.

When driving (mainly low speed) there is a metal to metal/popping type noise coming from lower area. Seems to be somewhere with rotation of tires, or suspension travel, or transmission. Only when there is movement with the vehicle, sounds as if there are 2 pieces of metal rubbing/bumping together intemittently. It is not a constant noise, seems to be more noise on rougher road conditions. Dodge dealer said they cannot "rip apart my vehicle without knowing the cause of noise."

Spare tire jack recall - when I tried to schedule an appointment with the dealer they said it would take at least 2 hours and the recall notice says it should take 30 minutes. I cannot take that much unpaid leave from work for a recall that should not take that much time.

While driving I-405N at approx 63mph, my cel & tc lamp illuminated and car stalled out leaving me with no steering functions, then suddenly it turned back on and red-lined for almost 20secs straight leaving me at wot speeding straight towards the vehicle in front of me. The dash flashed something in the instrument cluster right before it shuts off but too quickly for me to be able to read it, the white box that highlights the selected gear turns orange and highlights all gears, then tachometer and speedometer fall to zero. This has happened on multiple occasions. I was able to record the the dash display on my phone when it was occurring back -to-back. I pulled fault codes(U0101, U1110, U1120, U11bc, U0121, U0100, U212). I took the car to dealership 2 weeks previously, they just reset my cel lamp and said bring it back if it happens again. This is dangerous and needs to be taken care of before it causes serious injury or death! I believe the problem is with the ECM and tcm programming, or the modules themselves. Included is screenshot from the video I recorded as it stalled on the fwy for the 3rd time in 10 minutess.

Torque converter malfunction: The torque converter in the Dodge AWD rt model malfunctions and creates a groaning sound while the vehicle is accelerating on flat or low to steep road inclines. If unchecked it may lead to significant damage to the transmission and AWD subsystem. Since this torque component is not a regularly stocked item at most Dodge dealerships, if the component fails the wait time for a replacement can been up to a few weeks. My dealership brown daub Dodge, a 5 star dealership located in easton pa, said there were only two components available in the entire usa!

We bought our car new, it has been at the Dodge dealer for repairs for the same things over and over for 6 months total time in shop. 1. the battery saver mode comes on, and then the steering gets hard, the alt. Has been replace, extra wiring added to add more grounds. This affects the way the car drives. When the battery saver mode is on the power steering stops working or works less. The power steering pump and rack and pinion has been replaced twice. This problem happens every day, in town or on the freeway. 2. the radio keeps shorting out, it's been replaced 3 times. This happens daily, it quits, blew out the speakers, navagtion stopped working. 3. the heater keeps getting stuck on either 100% hot or 100% A/C on cold. Settings will not change. Controls have been replaced 3 times, the heat/cold door motor was replace twice. The car has spent 185 days in service this year. When they give the car back it acts up in about 5 mins. The car is going back in for the radio and battery saver mode and steering on Monday. I picked the car up Friday and it failed less than a mile from the dealership.
