general problems of the 2009 Dodge Charger

I was sold this car from a dealer and told nothing was wrong with it, 2 days later codes u0002 (can communication bus performance) and u0103 (loss communication with gear shift module) came on and the car will go into what I believe is limp mode every 10-30 minutes into driving it. I believe the column shifter assembly is to blame as there was a recall for this same part and I’m having the same exact issues stated in the recall making it unsafe to drive.

The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and while the vehicle was idling, the vehicle had shut off unexpectedly. The vehicle was restarted and operated normally, but the failure persisted. The contact replaced the spark plugs, battery, and fuel pump but the failure persisted. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The contact stated there was a ticking sound coming from the engine compartment. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 150,000.

The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Charger. The contact was driving at 35 mph, when all of the warning lights illuminated then stopped. The vehicle stalled but the contact was able to pull over on the side of the road. The contact then saw black smoke coming from the engine compartment and was able to put the fire out with a wet rag and some water. The contact then contacted his insurance company when he noticed that there was smoke coming from the rear seats. The fire department arrived and opened the trunk with a crowbar and saw that the battery had caught fire. The contact and his daughter, who was a passenger in the vehicle did not sustain injuries. A fire department report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 190,000.

Prior to my mishap I had no signs of malfunction I was driving early one morning in my car just shut off and will not restart come to find out there's a recall on my tipm but the recall was only for a certain timeframe and my car was manufactured literally few months after the recall dates ended no I have a really problem under the fuse box and I feel it's not fair that the recall was only for a certain time. When I have all the same parts as the recall car is dead my car was manufactured in December 2008 but got the 2010 tipm dude box I spent a large amount of money trying to diagnose and fix the problem and so we realized it was the internal relay . Is there anything I can do about this.

Change tires and the low tire light doesn't come off. Trunk will not unlock from key fob or inside car. Key hole to open door easy to break into. Car keep cutting off while driving on several occasion. Cut off while in the middle of intersection.

The win module has trouble communicating with the key fob and the vehicle shuts off while driving. Loose all power to dash. Happened to me on the highway and on the street while driving. Almost had an accident. Win module stops working all together.

The radiator fan connector is burnt. Now radiator fan won't turn on, causing car to heat up and coolant to boil.

The keyfob will not crank the car. It is detected in the ignition but will intermittently not crank the car. This, in turn, making me late for work. I am a nurse and a single mother and can not afford to risk my job nor can I afford the $300 it is was quoted to replace a key that may not even work.

Tipm failure causing remote start failure.

Driving at highway speed my car suddenly lurched as it lost power. I was able to pull over to the shoulder and turn the car off but it would not restart.

Engines shuts off without warning. Happened several times while parked or at stop lights. Happen last while driving on interstate. Luckily, was able to pull off road without incident and the car restarted. Took it to dealership and they had to replace the win and have keys reprogrammed to system. My car is past the warranty so the repair was very expensive. Have heard from other Dodge owners with similar problems that have had these parts replaced several times. I have researched and found multiple cases and not one significant cause as to why this keeps occurring. Why hasn't Dodge recalled these cars for this potentially very dangerous problem?.

Ignition won't turn off.

My electronic control throttle light continues to come on. I have read forums of this being an issue in Dodge and Chrysler cars from 2000 to 2011 models. I think at this point there needs to be a recall on the defect on all these cars. I am sick to my stomach on the costs to fix this issue.

Had to replace the tipem,win and have key fobs reprogrammed to system. Have heard from other Dodge owners with similar problems that have had these parts replaced several times. I believe parts are defective causing these problems with the vehicles. I have researched and found multiple cases and not one significant cause as to why this keeps occurring. I even asked the Dodge mechanic and he stated the he doesn't know what would cause this to happen. As new as these vehicles are with maintenance upkeep this shouldn't happen and it usually occurs when the warranty has expired. This seems to occur most with 2006 thru 2009 models.

I own a 2009 Dodge Charger. When cranking engine all the check lights came on (including engine, coolant, tire check, etc. ). The tempature gauge was also all the way cold. I cut the engine off. The engine was slow to crank but did crank. I drove not even a half mile and the temp guage was going from cold to hot and then the engine stopped. When I opened the hood I found my car was smoking and the coolant was almost bone dry. Prior to this incident no check lights have appeared. I took my car to landers Dodge in southaven, ms they ran a check and preformed maintance to my car and added coolant. Now, a month and half later my car is smoking again and coolant is extremely low. While my car is smoking and almost no coolant, temp gauge is not detecting my car running hot. I believe my sensors are not working correctly and have a faulty coolant container. Thanks!.

July 2012 I was in the left lane on highway 635 in dallas. I noticed my wheel was locked. Looked at the speedometer it was zero. Thats when I noticed my car had shut off. The radio was still playing and no code lights came on. Luckily no one was behind me the car stopped in the middle of the highway and I put it in park and it crank back up with no hesitation. It is now may 2013 after taking my car to the dealership 3 times they still cant find anything wrong with it. Since July it has shut off on me 10-15 times. I fear for me and my daughters life. I say a prayer everytime I get into my car. I have no other means of transportation. I've contacted Chrysler corp and now have a case number. There is lawsuits against Chrysler for this problem but not my particular car. Shuts off no warning very dangerous and scary.
