36 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/23/2015

While driving I-405n at approx 63mph, my cel & tc lamp illuminated and car stalled out leaving me with no steering functions, then suddenly it turned back on and red-lined for almost 20secs straight leaving me at wot speeding straight towards the vehicle in front of me. The dash flashed something in the instrument cluster right before it shuts off but too quickly for me to be able to read it, the white box that highlights the selected gear turns orange and highlights all gears, then tachometer and speedometer fall to zero. This has happened on multiple occasions. I was able to record the the dash display on my phone when it was occurring back -to-back. I pulled fault codes(u0101,u1110,u1120,u11bc,u0121,u0100,u212). I took the car to dealership 2 weeks previously, they just reset my cel lamp and said bring it back if it happens again. This is dangerous and needs to be taken care of before it causes serious injury or death! I believe the problem is with the ecm and tcm programming, or the modules themselves. Included is screenshot from the video I recorded as it stalled on the fwy for the 3rd time in 10 minutess.

37 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/06/2015

Torque converter malfunction: the torque converter in the Dodge awd rt model malfunctions and creates a groaning sound while the vehicle is accelerating on flat or low to steep road inclines. If unchecked it may lead to significant damage to the transmission and awd subsystem. Since this torque component is not a regularly stocked item at most Dodge dealerships, if the component fails the wait time for a replacement can been up to a few weeks. My dealership brown daub Dodge, a 5 star dealership located in easton PA, said there were only two components available in the entire USA!.

My Charger is already chipping paint in the driver side door jam. I took it to the Dodge dealer boby shop and asked them to take pictures of it and send it out but the repair man said he was not going to and said that I just dont take care of my car. I offerred to show him the other Chargers on his lot that are slightly used and that have the same problem but he didnt want to. Every excuse he has didnt make any sense and when I was done explaining to him that didnt happen he jumped to another theory of his. He did offer to touch it up with paint but I can do that myself. Just regular paint isnt going to fix that problem. The door end needs repainted. Over %90 of the Chargers are doing this. I could send you numerous pictures of different Chargers in my city at dealerships that have this problem or have been touched up by paint.

Ever since purchasing this vehicle there has been a clunking noise and the whole car moves whenever putting in gear or putting in park. And there is a loud clunk. I went to purchase gas at a shell station( I only use shell premium gas) and went inside to pay for the gas. I came back hit the fuel door release button and went to the pump. I went to place the nozzle in my tank and the metal plate that covers the fuel tank wouldnt not move. I called my husband and he came to help me and there was no way to get the plate open. I called the dealership where I bought the car and was told that they had never heard anything like that had I tried to put diesel in my tank. I am a former truck driver and know the difference between diesel and regular gas. And that was not the issue. The dealership also could not figure out what the problem is. I went to a station that has a mechanic and he used a tool and was able to unlock it so that we could fill up the tank. I am not currently driving the car until the dealership can get it in to be repaired because if I did run out of gas there is no way for me to put gas in the vehicle. So I am stuck without a vehicle even though I have a brand new car with less than 5,000 miles on it. This is ridiculous because no one seems to know how to fix the problem. And all the dealerships in the houston area have a 4 -5 day wait time for them to even look at my car.

While driving home from work, my transmission started to slip/skip and started to shift very roughly from that point. After a few visits to my dealer and after they kept my car for a week, it was then determined that the valve body inside the transmission needed replaced, and Chrysler will not give rental cars out due to the vehicle still being driveable. (wtf?) the part needed to fix the transmission is on backorder and Chrysler currently does not know when they will have it in because it has to come from a vendor, so now I'm stuck with a $40000 paper weight in my driveway until Chrysler gets off their sorry butts to get this problem resolved. Due to this part being on backorder, this is obviously a common problem that I feel Chrysler should make a recall.
