Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Dodge Charger . The contact stated while coming to a stop light the vehicle started smoking all the lights on the contacts instrumental panel as well as the dashboard started to turn off and on. The contact rear ended another vehicle in the mist of all the chaos. The contact attempted to get out of the vehicle however, was trapped inside the car with his kids because the door locks failed to open any of the door. After multiple attempt the contact open the door. No one was injuried. The contact towed the vehicle to an independent mechanic. The mechanic stated the battery and alternator had gone out.

Car went into battery saver mode, radio shut off, tried to make it home had to pull over and have towed, alternator was out. We just had to put another alternator on in may of year 2014, same thing, radio out, made it to auto repair shop, the part was on back order because there is such a high demand, we were told this is a common problem in this car.

Driving at 70mph speed limit,a car came over into my lane,and I had to slow down. I then pushed down on the accelerator to get back up to speed,and nothing. There was no acceleration at all,even after I kept pushing on the peddle. I had to take a fast look behind me,and go across 3 lanes of traffic,all going 70mph and more,to get the car to the right side of the road. We were lucky the 4 of us were not killed. The car went down to below 30mph,even though I kept pushing on the gas. Then it took off. This happened 2 times,and not quit so bad a few other times. We were on a 1 month trip,and when we left the car had just over 6,000 miles on it,and was 6 months old. When we got home it was 7 months old with 12,000 miles on it. At one point Chrysler corp. Told me it fits into the car buy back replacement program. They did not help me. I got a 2012 Charger because I did not trust the 2011. It could kill someone. They say the car is fixed,but I am not going to risk my family's life on it. Has there been any other cars with this problem,of no acceleration? is it a problem with the multiple displacement system? sounds like it. Thank you for your help. It sounds like Chrysler corp. Just dose not believe me,that there is no acceleration. Parts replaced were,hydraulic-tappets,multiple displacement solenoid,head gasket,sparkplugs,oil&filter.

2011 Dodge Charger. Consumer expresses discontent concerning Chrysler corporation the consumer stated the vehicle would not start and Chrysler was aware there was an issue and never informed him. The consumer also stated the vehicle has a terrible blind spot, which was restrictive, as his body transgressed higher towards the back making it difficult seeing low hoods. Also, the rear window view was higher, apparently to allow more trunk space, which blocked the consumer from seeing, the hood when backing out of parking spaces. The consumer stated he could barely see the speedometer, the numbers were a lot smaller and difficult to read. Also, it was difficult to adjust the tilt wheel. The consumer stated he had to use extra strength to pull the wheel up or down. The consumer stated there was a drag in the vehicle, when he removed his foot from the accelerator, the vehicle would slow down more rapidly. Also, it was easy to accidentally move the shifter into a lower gear. Also, the transmission was not shifting properly.

Under passing conditions with hard and fast acceleration the car does not move and it feels like it is dead this is very dangerous and on many occasions I could have been hit. This is really a bad situation. I have taken it in and they do not believe me that this is possible. This happens anytime that there is a steady or cruising and a need arises for passing or getting out of trouble. The gas pedal would be depressed quickly and hard but nothing happens. The car seems like it dies and then it comes back and starts accelerating. This takes about a second or two. Other times it growls and it does not move. I have talked to Dodge and they cannot duplicate it and frankly they think that I am telling them something that is not possible. In other words they do not believe me.
