general problems of the 2014 Dodge Charger

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to complete a turn, the contact heard an abnormal popping sound coming from underneath the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the front suspension. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was not available.

When I put the vehicle in park it says its not in park.

My brakes went out on me and couldn't stop. My engine has been overheating and making a weird ticking noise. The front suspension is loose and has caused me to hydroplane on the highway and slide.

Front end suspension just went out with no warning.

Door locks getting stuck front two doors only. Steering wheel trembling while driving on road. All panels front dash side doors and middle section un attaching. Topp roof of inside is also coming off. Hood paint is peeling right side of hood.

Transmission broke down. Am unable to put vehicle in reverse and it stays stuck in low gear. Slipping of rear tires. Dodge dealer as transmission failure and needs to replace the entire transmission, oil cooler and oil lines. There were no warning signs that the transmission was going out. No lights, lamps or any symptoms showed up prior.

Car has challenges stopping safely and the suspension is secured properly. Even after inspection still no satisfactory condition.

2014 Dodge charge police car loses all power steering when turned left. We have 4 of these models at our police agency and all 4 are doing the same thing. After speaking with several other police chief's, they all stated that the electrostatic power steering pump was bad and it was a multiple thousand dollar fix for them. Our local Dodge dealer says to fix each fleet car, the cost will be over $2000 per car. With this many issues, there should be an investigation and a recall. Further, when the vehicle is in motion and the steering wheel is turned left, all power steering is lost.

The right rear suspension trailing link that bolts to the sub frame the sub frame mounting bracket sheared off the sub frame. This car has was a rental car before I purchased it. The data recorded was retrieved and nothing shows this was caused by me. The left side has visible wear and stress in the frame, I do not feel safe in this car even if this car is repaired. This caused a minor accident making me spin when it sheared off. It looks as though this was a manufacturing defect with the welding of this part.

11-23-16, driving on interstate at 65 mph in a 70mph ,suddenly steering wheel began to pull by itself left to right repeatedly for about 3-4 seconds ,I nearly lost control,braked gently and steering returned to normal,,battery saver mode came on a short before this happened, 2 hours later on a 40 mph city street I was making a normal low speed left turn on a green light,car seemed to not go where I steered it and we hit a traffic control pole,deploying all airbags,there was a light drizzle in both instances,but this was not a hydroplane,battery saver mode was on for over 4 hours during our entire trip until our accident.
