Equipment problem #8

My 2010 Dodge Charger was under recall for timing chain and chain guide tensioner. We took it to a licensed garage that's been in business for many years. They said they ordered the biggest timing chain. It lasted 6 months. We were 7 hours from home on our wedding anniversary vacation. When the chain broke we were driving so there was extensive damage to the engine. The garage said we needed a new engine. It's been in the shop for over a month because they cannot find an engine that works to their satisfaction. So, my car is only 7 yrs old and now I don't trust it. Why was there a recall in the first place? is the 3rd timing chain going to brake also? I wonder what's really wrong with this car. Bad engineering?? I would love an investigation to be done if possible.

Equipment problem #9

Approximately 8 months or so ago I had to replace my battery because it was "too weak" for my car. I did so and everything was fine until about a month ago when I tried starting my car and it took about 5 minutes for me to finally start it, it was stationary. I came home with my eyes stinging and swollen and this only happened when I was in the car. Upon further investigation I realized the battery blew up and there was battery acid all over my trunk. I went online to see if it was common and I have seen several forums of people complaining about their batteries blowing up. This is a serious safety hazard for the driver and passengers in the vehicle. I don't know if it is a problem with the car itself or the battery, but I do think this needs to be addressed. The battery is a duralast battery.

Equipment problem #10

The car proceeds to shake and make noise.

Equipment problem #11

This car has been a nightmare. The automatic transmission went out at 85,000 miles and had to be completely replaced, thank fully the warranty covered it. This month I was driving to work and the car just died. I called aaa and had it towed to a total of 3 mechanics including the local Dodge dealership. Final prognosis was my timing chain broke. Not from wear and tear or stretching, it just snapped. The snapping of the timing chain caused the valves to bend which lead to the entire motor being tore down and piston by piston and ultimately having the bottom end rebuilt/replaced/etc. The part that sucks is this is a recall for my motor, year, and vehicle however my VIN number wasnt listed as part of the recall. So I had to pay $4000 to have my car fixed by aaa mechanic because the Dodge dealer wanted $7000 to fix it.

Equipment problem #12

I was attempting to leave walmart parking lot and without warning the car died. I took it to be serviced and was told that it was giving no diagnostic codes. I picked the car up 3 days later and while bringing it home it died 3 times. I researched for reported complaints and found that this appears to be an ongoing issue. Why are these cars being sold? this is a very dangerous situation and I'm paying for a vehicle that I can't drive because there is a great risk of bodily harm or death to myself and others. This needs to be acknowledged and rectified!.

Equipment problem #13

"takata recall"about April 2014 my car steering wheel felt tight so I pulled across the street from my house in the parking lot check the engine , oil power steering ,everything was full well the next week my car was in a accident my car had jerked to the right in a alley way I the only one in the car an all my air bags diploid it has already had an investigation on the vehicle since then threw Dodge they said it was my air bags and electrical but they wanted to have a double check on ect,.

Equipment problem #14

The key fob will not work with car, will not open the car, start the car without several attempts to use the key. Even after replacing the batteries and reprogramming new keys key fobs fail to open doors or turn car on. I also have been looking online for similar malfunctions thousands of Dodge car owners are having the same problem. I have been stranded in the middle of no where because the key would not start my car nor would the spare. I spoke with the Dodge dealer as well as Dodge corporate office they said there is nothing wrong but thousands of people are having the same problem where Dodge is charging $1000 - $2000 to fix the problem however that does not fix the problem a lot of the time. I please ask that you look into this it is a dangerous malfunction in any situation where you may need your car in a moments notice and it does not work. Key fobs from 2009 - on fail to work with car. Does not unlock doors does not start car without attempting to use the fob over and over.
