I have a 2017 Hellcat Charger, only certain 2017 Hellcat chargers and challengers were recalled for the engine oil cooling hoses failing resulting in a rapid loss of engine oil, my car wasn-??t one of the certain vehicles recalled but my car just did the exact same thing other cars were recalled for, but the dealer won-??t fix my vehicle because it wasn-??t one of the vehicles that were -??selected for the recall-?? at the end of the day I shouldn-??t have to come out of pocket to have an issue fixed that was recalled by the manufacturer

The fuse box and screen inside car is going haywire causing the headlight to go out while driving, causing the screen to blink on and off while driving constantly dialing 911, not letting you use your navigation or being able to use the back up camera. I almost got into a wreck with my newborn due to this issue!!! You can-€™t even use some of the safety features due to this issue. When driving at night the screen going on and off, dim to bright causes trouble seeing at night..you can-€™t turn the screen off because it-€™ll just turn right back on. I-€™ve seen your company has gotten multiple reports on this but no recall has been made. If we get hurt or someone else does you are aware that it can be a legal issue correct??

My 2017 Dodge Charger is experiencing "hard shifting" when I get in the vehicle and start driving it. I just got it back from the dealer yesterday (the second time I dropped it off) and they say they experienced the problem but because there were no codes, they are referring the problem back to Dodge. They applied computer updates to the PCM and tcm on the first trip and that did not correct the problem. This has been going on for the last couple of months. The car only has 6,700 miles on it.
