general problems of the 2007 Dodge Charger

The front passenger braking system locks up, abs control module.

I purchased this car 2 years ago with the title, just having it at my parents house because I have another car. I drove it back to memphis on the highway and it jerked, cut the car off turn it back on it drives no more than 30 mph. Got a reading at 2 different auto zones, and got a tune up, oil change, and wire coils that go with the car. Still the same problem. So I drive the car back to my parents house a hour away from memphis and it's going slow, so of course law enforcement had some questions that almost allowed me to get the car towed at the times with the coronavirus going on as well. . So, after I get my slow car out the impound, I looked on cars. Com and I see a previous recall on my car that I didn't see at the time or purchase or had any idea of, that might be a little to late to fix even though these the exact same problems I'm having at this present moment. My car jerks back when trying to put it in the reverse or drive. So, I go back to autozone, in the little town because now I'm afraid to move my car because of the danger it's in. Autozobe don't want to do the reading so I do it myself because they're not allowed to get into people cars at this time. So, keep in mind I've got the work done to the car and I'm coming back to confirm that I did do those things. The man who worked at autozone told me it was something with my wiring, and to take it back to the dealership because they cannot find the part needed in the store I seen it with my own eyes the screen turn blank. Took it to Dodge, they just replace the air bags, and of course offer to make me spend money. I told them about the previous recall on my car and no one helped even though there is a maximum 10 years. But if these cars are still selling and being used there shouldn't be any time frame for the problem to be fixed because the car is now unsafe and unusable, and the owner out of money.

The first incident happened after I was driving on the freeway for about 30 miles I parked the car with the car on so I can have the air on. I had to move my car and the car wouldn't move. The shifter would move but it didn't seem to change into gear. I had it towed to a transmission shop thinking it was a transmission problem. The shop looked it over and found nothing wrong with the transmission they said it was the brakes that were locked up so they unplugged the abs and that seemed to fix the problem. The second incident happened when I was driving home from work and came to a stop at an intersection when I pulled away from the light the car hadn't switched gears and wouldn't accelerate. When I parked the car there was a heavy smell of the brakes burning.

I was driving on the freeway going about 65 mph with cruse control when I felt a odd vibration, I noticed the car was off. While I was coasting on to the shoulder, I noticed that the steering and braking were heavy. I pulled to the shoulder, put the car in park and restarted the car. This car is a moving death trap and if not for the light traffic or the side shoulder there could have easily been a crash and or fatality.

While traveling at 40+ mph I attempted to accelerate by pressing the accelerator pedal all the way, the Dodge Charger rt(5. 7l v8) did not react and kept accelerating at the normal rate before I pressed the accelerator. Since it was not reacting to my input, I took my foot completely off the accelerator but the vehicle kept accelerating at a constant rate. Then after two seconds, the vehicle accelerated at full throttle, in automatic, downshifted, and continued to speed up at full throttle. Brakes were pressed but seemed to have zero effect on the vehicle's uncontrolled acceleration. Finally I decided to shift into neutral and the engine resumed normal operation. I then shifted into drive again from neutral, and operation of the vehicle resumed to normal. First time this has happened and is extremely unsafe, luckily, no car was in front of me and I had time to control the car before I came to the upcoming red light/intersection.

Was driving down road and car started to slow down and became extremely difficult to operate. Car slowed pretty much to a stop and I had to use all my strength to get it to turn so I could pull over to a safe place. The car completely shut off and locked up on me. I put the car in park and took the key out, put the key back in to restart the car and it started right back up. I have been researching since this has happened and there are tons of complaints about this exact thing. I have two small children and now I am afraid to drive my car and it is my only vehicle. I just purchased this Charger about 3 months ago. This is the first time it's happened . This problem needs to be addressed and it needs to be fixed before people start to die from horrific crashes from no fault of their own! I'm so disappointed about this and would have never bought this car if I would have known I was putting mine, my kids or others life at danger! absolutely ridiculous!.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, the brake pedal was engaged and the vehicle pulled to the left. A noise could be heard from when the brakes were applied. The vehicle failed to decelerate until after several attempts. The vehicle was taken to both an independent mechanic and authorized dealer. The dealer replaced the abs module. There was a recall associated with NHTSA campaign id number 06v4930000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 48,248. Updated 6/14/13 updated 07/11/2013.

I was leaving work, and entering I-285 off exit ramp, I saw a vehicle that was stopped ahead of me approx. A quarter of a mile up ahead of me, so I began to apply brakes to prepare to stop ahead. . . And I realized that my brake pedal would not move or give in to even apply pressure to brake. I was going approx. 45 to 50mph. . . And I crashed and rear ended a car full force without any brakes at all. Both airbags deployed. . . It was awful and the scariest thing that I have ever experienced. It resulted in a 4 car accident. I suffered a broken ankle in two places, torn foot ligaments, and burns from airbags. I am angry, because I found out about several recalls that are out with my cat that I was unaware of. I have had my car serviced with Dodge on three different occassions prior to this happening within the past 6/7 months. Something will be done about this. . . I could have died!!!!!.

My daughter had warped rotors replaced by local mechanic and informed she needed rack and pinion replaced. Also control arm and tie rod end. An extra $1100 on top of rotor costs. Is this car safe for her and her two year old son to be on the highways with ? Dodge should be ashamed. Submitted by concerned father/grandpa. Hope this saves a life.

Approaching traffic light transitioning from yellow to red, car is coasting at 20mph, proceeded to stop foot on the brake the brake was solid as the concrete pavement, the steering wheel could not move. The car did not stop proceeded forward hitting the car in front which was a fender bender, however total loss of a purchased brand new Dodge Charger which had gone to the service center every week after purchasing for a reset of the computer system jumping skipping stopping, however un - final answers it was always communicated the car was fine and good to go. As a result of the accident the ruling was not against me as a driver, however, an attorney who specilized in manufactured defects was a communication after several attorneys listened to the case but did not take on the representation. Also as a result now 3 years later, $35,000 back surgery, continued medical bills, perm disabl permit due to inability to function normally before accident excruciating pain day in and out. No help no car personal insurance paid everything / gap when the attorney took case could not find the totaled car? . . . . There has to be something that can be done about that. One attorney stated the company is responsible, however stated it is a case that would be major. Is one's debt and personal liability as a citizen not important enough to receive help towards this matter? I am afraid I will live in and suffer with this pain in debt til death! this is a case that falls in the gray area in the land of o well--- why shouldnt the dealership be responsible? why did the judge throw it out of court, to be against me? why cant I receive medical and loss of time an wages from an immediate emergency surgery? please help me I emailed the attorney general's office and was informed to connect with this line of communication. Please help. . . !!!! I have to work or I will be homeless now what?.

2007 Dodge Charger r/t awd, brake squealing and unacceptable rotor wear since 9000 miles on the vehicle. The dealership just tells me it's from the heat, and there is nothing that can be done. They resurfaced rotors at 20k miles and it went away for a month or so. It happens around 130 times per 140 mile commute. ( at least). I have been in situations where my brakes feel like they are not going to stop my vehicle at all. There is a serious defect in these brake systems, I know that I am definitely not the only one to complain.

I purchased a 2006 Dodge Charger daytona over three months ago. I took the vehicle back to the dealer for its first oil change. Since the day I purchased it with 70 miles on it, the brakes have squealed badly. I told the dealer about it and they were going to check it out. They called me to say that they could not hear any noise, but if there was a squeal it is typical on all Charger daytona's. It is something I just have to live with. When I picked up the car I drove it 100 feet and applied the brakes. A loud squeal came from the brakes, but they still refuse to do anything about it. Why is this? why don't they do anything about it?.

- contact owns a 2007 Dodge Charger, and stated that while driving 12 mph he pressed on the brakes 20 feet before getting to a stop sign, but the vehicle continued to drive, and side swiped another vehicle at 12 mph, which finally caused the 2007 Dodge Charger to come to a complete stop. The failure mileage was at 5,038 miles. Update 05/10/tr.

When I bought this 2007 Dodge Charger I started having problems with my brakes and I took it to the dealear to be checked out because everytime I hit the brakes it felt like it was scratching the ground but they keep telling me it was fine they don't know what I was talking about so when I left the dealer it did it again they told me that they had already checked it and they didn't find nothing to bring it another time so I kept bringing it so many times they kept telling me the same thing so I stop taking it than later my shifter broke I took it to the dealer and I had bought a bumper to bumper warranty and they told me it doesn't cover it , they try to charge me $580. So I did a research on how to fix it on youtube and I bought the part I only pay $10. For the part. And I fixed it myself I saved me $570. So I stop taking my car to them because I used to do my oil change but they charge me too much.
