Failure Date: 08/03/2021

I purchased my vehicle new as a 2015. The hvac blower motor has gone out so quickly and is rattling. It has been about two days when it started out of nowhere and as of today, the blower is not blowing anything out. It should last for 10-20+ years. My wife had the same issue with her BMW and it burned out and black smoke came out the vents. The wires were scorched. This is a safety issue due to fires. I have done research and vehicles have caught fire because of this problem in vehicles. Please advise and thank you. Jason morales.

6 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2021

While unloading items from the trunk of my 2015 Dodge Challenger, I had the misfortune of the trunk lid falling my head and almost knocking me out. The trunk will not stay up on its own (especially when parked on an incline). The weight of the trunk is too heavy for the struts that are designed for it. This is not the first time the struts have failed on the trunk of this vehicle and have been replaced by a Dodge oem dealer (approx 2 years ago). I feel like this could be a safety issue for other Dodge owners in the future.

I own a 2015 Dodge Challenger. While driving various speeds the vehicle will randomly stall and display "come to a complete stop and select the appropriate gear. " this has happened 10-15 times. I have taken the vehicle to a Dodge dealership 3 times. On the second visit they replaced the transmission and valve body. I left the dealership and was only 4 blocks away and the vehicle stalled and displayed the same error. The vehicle is currently at the dealership and they say they cannot duplicate what is happening, so they don't know how to troubleshoot the problem. This started happening at approximately 16,000 miles.

Immediately after purchasing vehicle, very harsh downshifts and upshifts have been noticed with the vehicle's 8 speed automatic transmission especially under light acceleration and declaration at speeds lower than 40mph . Dealership has attempted software reset several times with no effect. Upon 4th visit to dealership for same issue, service tech has identified the problem and confirmed that the 8 speed transmission is not functioning in the same appropriate way and shifting is "severe" . Problem identified by dealer is the valve body , however Chrysler has denied replacement of the part instead asking that the car be driven for an additional three thousand miles, before any repair is considered , essentially breaking the terms of the warranty by asking a car with a bad transmission to be driven for thousands of miles. Dealership confirmed problem exists , however their hands currently tied by corporate.
