general problems of the 2007 Dodge Charger

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph the abs and check engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle started making a ticking noise then stalled. The contact was at a red light then waited and started the vehicle again but it was moving very slow and every time an attempt to accelerate was made the ticking noise got lauder and the vehicle started shacking violently. Smoke started emerging from the engine compartment. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The contact also stated that the ticking sound occurred one other time but it went away. An independent mechanic diagnosed the vehicle as the rocker arm assembly on both sides failure and needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 201. 000. Bp.

I've had many issues wrong with my car. The first complaint I would like to express is how the car shuts off on me without warning. While driving on the freeway and on busy streets, my car will shut off, but it will start right back up. This is a dangerous hazard and safety concern. I've taken my car to the gresham Dodge (on ne burnside) dealership to address this issue (503-666-2277). I was told "if it happens again, bring it back" there was no concern with Dodge that they were sending a dangerous vehicle back out on the road, that could potentially cause an accident. This was an issue that needed to be addressed now, not later. Dodge never solved that issue. Furthermore, my car was stuck in the park position on the eve of 4-18-16. I tried to get it into gear, without any success. I had to call for a tow truck. While waiting for a tow, I decided to google Dodge Chargers stuck in park. On youtube, there were so many others with the same issue. They had video of how to get the car out of park. You had to pry the covering off of the shifting unit. Stick a pen inside to move a wire around, in order to get the car into gear. It worries me that Dodge is aware of transmission issues and other issues with their vehicles, yet nothing is being done to fix it. I could of seriously been hurt or seriously hurt someone else while being on the freeway and my car just shutting off. They should be concerned enough to want to look into this issue and fix it. As I stated before, there are numerous videos on youtube with other people experiencing the very same issues. I did file a complaint on the bbb website, along with everyone else. My main objective for this site is to bring out how dangerous it is to operate my car under these conditions, that Dodge did not seem to care about. Sounds as if there are transmission and or engine issues with the car that needs immediate attention.

The car shakes and shimmies. It has been doing it for a few years and keeps getting worse. The higher the speed the more it shakes. It shakes right up the steering column into the steering wheel. I fear the shaking will result in other parts failing which could lead to an accident. Car is very scary to drive. If a steering rod fails because of this it could be catastrophic.

Defective suspension.
