Takata recall the suspension is shot. I am having to replace the my tires due to the bushings being junk and have ate my tires away on the inside down to the metal due to the toe positioning being incorrect. The control arms have been changed, but I am in fear the rear camber may be completely out. Also, sometimes my car does not want to turn over, but yet the battery, starter and alternator are fine. Also, my electrical system is a mess. I can't roll down my window unless I shut off my air or heat. Then when I turn on my air or heat all my interior lights go out. Plus, sometimes my tachometer doesn't want to work. I have replaced the engine and transmission, it is always maintained, but yet I feel like I am about to have to dump thousands of dollars into this cheaply made suspension. I have seen several Charger owners of the same year stating they have had these issues and if a recall can not be done then a class action lawsuit should be put into motion. I'm hoping Dodge will give us a chance to keep their customers, because at this morning I am ready to give up. I have always been a Dodge fan, but this time, on my favorite looking car, you all have dropped the ball!.
