general problems of the 2009 Dodge Charger

Headgasket, fel-pro engine cylinder head gasket, remove carbon, and make all necessary adjustments.

All of my steering column components quit working, I have no turn signals, wipers, brights, cruise control, horn or power mirrors. Now the taillights illuminate only when they want to but brake lights work. I was stopped and informed that I had no rear lighting at all and that is was very unsafe. I've spent a lot of money replacing parts but nothing is getting fixed not too mention the safety aspect of it all with no turn signals or windshield wipers and the taillights or running lights not working unless I unhook the brake light switch which I also replaced. The airbag light comes on here and there as well. I believe it's the tipm but I need something done about this. It's been months since I've been able to drive the car and having everything working properly. I also take care of my vehicles and keep up on routine maintenance.

I'm writing to complain about the hemi tick that Chrysler seems to keep overlooking knowing that there is a problem with the lifters not getting enough oil to them and causing them to eat away at the camshaft this is costing us a lot of money to replace these and I think that Chrysler should be held accountable for this issue and that they should be made to cover the cost of parts and repairs for this its a shame we have to pay for something they know is an issue and they just cover it up as (OH that's common with the hemi) no its not common because its a hemi, its common because its an issue with the lifters they won't fix even though they know what it is I think this should have been recalled by now something needs to be done they should be made to recall and repair this problem it happens when stationary on any street or highway its an issue by far its been going on since they brought the hemi back in 2005.

After taking care of this car I've notice that the manufacture has failed me. I began to think I was the only one that this has occurred to. And after further review it seems to me that most all Chargers are having the same issue. Which I think that Dodge should be held accountable for replacing the engine in the vehicle. If anyone is like myself you hate to give up such a beauty. But at this time I'm almost heartbroken to say it must be done. I feel whoever is responsible for making this engine should consider replacing not the same model in the vehicle but give a better brand. Or is that can not exist be considerate enough to give the owner have of what they have invested into the vehicle. But you must show proof. Dodge its not right and someone should be held accountable especially if we have to pay a car payment or cash in hand for this beauty. Please consider this letter to uphold your end of the bargain. It is only fair. My engine is gone. Sign unsatisfied costumer.

Timing chain broke causing additional engine damage. Had timing chain replaced when broke at 59k miles. . Ever since repaired lots of misfires on odd cyl. Now running so bad had it looked at and said now cam shaft and lifters need replaced. Although time chain still intact, I believe this damage was from the previous repair of time chain that sent out pieces into engine causing more problems down the road. Dodge won't cover with time chain recall. Only fix time chain not all the damage that the chain breaking sending metal pieces into engine problems down road.

The problem is with the 2. 7 timing chain and engine. Chrysler had issues with this problem and had filed for bankruptcy. There was a class action regarding this issue. However, Chrysler corporation still exists and the customers with the problem still have the same engine issues. There should be a recall for the 2. 7 engine.

Our 2009 Dodge Charger was in the garage, I noticed smoke on the outside of the house and went into the garage and our car was engulfed in flames. The fire caused extensive damage to the garage and smoke & water damage to the entire house. This the summary from the fire inspector that was sent out by our insurance company: based on scene observations, witness interviews, and information received, the cause of the fire was most probably related to an electrical failure involving wiring and or components of the 2009 Dodge Charger. More specifically, the fire occurred in the engine compartment on the driver side. The cause of the fire was an electrical event occurring in the origin area resulting in the ignition of combustible wiring insulation and other combustible materials within the engine compartment area left side.

Our 09 Dodge Charger timing chain broke and we had to pay $5500 to replace the engine! we always changed the oil every 3,000 miles. How do I get our money back???.

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.

The dealer refuses to honor the recalls on the engine light and tire light on, and is claiming that it does not affect my vehicle. I just brought this car from them and now I getting no where with this people. I paid 95. 00 dollars for nothing and the lights still on and they told me that the reason they wont refund my money back is because they have to paid the mechanic, I believe that sold me a lemon. My resolution is to fix this car and refund my money. Thanks.

Vehicle made loud bang from engine compartment and began to loose speed from 58 mph. Vehilce completely shut off after emitting an acrid burning smell. Towed to thomas Dodge who states"engine locked up".
