The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, while the accelerator pedal was depressed, there was an abnormal thumping sound coming from the front passenger’s side of the vehicle.

The vehicle was taken to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the front driveshaft needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 18v281000 (power train); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.

Unknown/. When press on brake car still moves. Also when put in parked car will move forward or backwards a few inches. Steering wheel does not feel right as if feels not secure when driving. When trying to go in right lane on freeway steering wheel was not all the way responding as if felt like it was loose and not connected to what pairs it’s spose to be. And almost crashed.

My Charger was a michigan state patrol vehicle all its maint. Kept up on and all recalls fixed and repaired properly, yet driving at 45mph and my front driveshaft gives out and ends up smashing off my transmission and transfer case and it hit and almost went through the passanger side floor board right under the passanger seat which if it had it would of messed my passanger up bad ,so now 12k + in repairs. Dodge has had multiple recalls over the years for this exact problem, so I guess its time for another one, idk how you can say the recall has been fixed on vehicle if it breaks exactly the same way, that means its not fixed. 06.

I repaired my drive shaft in may of 2024 and I am already having this problem again. It appears this is a common issue with this vehicle. My vehicle is a 2016 Dodge Charger. I paid $2000 to repair this the last time and am not happy that I am having the exact same problem again. It was repaired by Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler in springdale ohio (jake sweeney).

Unexpected vehicle movement from power train. I was changing my tire and the jack caused my vehicle body side to deform causing the vehicle to fall and nearly broke my leg.

Loud noise coming from where the center console should be. I thought it could be something wrapped around the drive shaft but instead the drive shaft carrier bearing needs replaced. You can't get a shop to buy just the part they have to replace the entire piece!.

Loud noise while driving vehicle due to driveshaft center support bearing damaged. Currently in the process of getting it repaired.

Drive train issues.

I have a continuous and ongoing problem with my draft shaft specifically the carrier bearing. This part has been giving me trouble for over a couple of years now and feel like it's going to break every time I pull in reverse and my local dealer manufacturer currently has no recalls for this which in 2018 they did.

Drive train broke.

Car has strong smell of gas inside. Seeing by the other reports here that there is a regular problem with the fuel pump causing this issue. Is a safety hazard for obvious reasons. Drive shaft failed last year at less than 60,000 miles, but luckily had it replaced under dealership warranty. Others have not been so lucky, as I can see in these reports. Like tons of other reports here, door panels are also warping and disconnecting from the inside of the car. A completely cheap and poor design, and am shocked to see that nearly every problem I've experienced with this car is commonly experienced by other owners of this car. No idea how there haven't been more recalls, it's criminal that owners of this vehicle are left to foot the bill (thousands of $$$) for all of its defects.

No warning lights. Loses power, shuts down when traveling. Must pull over, come to a complete stop, put vehicle in park, wait 2-3 minutes sometime longer before it will start back up, has been occurring for at least 6`months now. Repair shop/dealer unable to confirm due to the fact that it doesn't occur when test driven!!.

My gas pry just takes off and I can't stop it.

The interior door panels are warping. I have replaced one and need to do the other. The trunk lid had no gap between the bottom of the lid and rear end, so there was a constant vibration causing the paint to flake away. If I step on the accelerator too hard, the engines rpm shoots up but the engine gets no power and the remains either at a stand still or will coast until the issue passes.

My car was parked on a hit and run on August of 2018. My car was parked on a flood March 2019, my car has repairs covered by the insurance of $19,000 and it's still in the shop. I honestly think that my vehicle is not safe for me to drive.

2016 Dodge hellcat front struts replaced in may 18 2018 now the struts are having the same problem car isn't driving straight and struts are on back order since Sep 22 until now. Bought the car 9/2/18 and the redding dealership used car manager dave birch and the owner steve roberts have been unprofessional in talking to me. When I asked about the status on my car and is this a normal situation and standard procedure after buying not one but two cars and taking a car in for repairs not having the car with less than 7016 miles and after repairing a scratch on the back bumper and having to replace the tires which should've been replaced before putting the car on the lot, because the sales agent and used car manager had to test the depth of the tires which they shouldn't had to check if they would've just replaced the tires in the beginning all this could've been avoided now there's a crack in the windshield when the care was purchased windshield, the owner and used car manager actually asked '' what else do you want from us david what else do you want us to do for you '' after I asked is this a normal situation and procedure. Well after the used car manager was rude and unprofessional to me I was rude to him and then when I asked to speak to him he was not taking my calls anymore and letting all my messages go to voicemail so when the manager decided to do that that's when I talked to the owner steve he started acting the same way they didn't want to talk to me and switched me to guy the service part manager. If this is how Dodge dealerships operate then I'll never recommend anyone from buying a car from any Dodge dealership or any Dodge vehicle for that matter I don't work due to the redding wildfires burning down my house and business which I owned a party bus company and will pursue this to the very end luckily for me this is a small town & the people of redding.

This has happend twice on city streets and once on the highway at highway speeds . Also the car has multiple times in the past owen put into park and will roll away and say service transmission set parking brake and if you don't set parking brake and take your foot off the brake the car will stall, dealer replaced transmission manual service switch and the car has done it 2 times since.

I bought a car Dodge Charger 2016 srt from saudi arabia alkhobar umc (united motors company) Dodge dealer show room I received the car on 23rd March 2016. All regular maintenance are done in umc center since then. - in April 2016: heard strange sound from the front wheels: first time I gave the car umc service center and they changed the right wheel bearing heard same sound again from front wheels the second day: second time I gave the car to umc service center and they changed the left wheel bearing in December 2016 after 37000 km I started seeing the following: 1- message in the dashboard "transmission temperature too high" 2- strange sound coming from the gearbox 3- strange sound and vibration coming from the engine third time: I gave the car to umc service center and it stayed for three days then they said nothing is wrong with the car, so I asked them to have an engineer to test it, the engineer drove the car and speed up to 200 km/hr and he heard strange sound from the car and acknowledged the car problem forth time: I gave the car to umc service center, they acknowledged the problems with gearbox and engine, and they kept the car now for almost one week. They informed me two days ago that they have to replace the gearbox and also they have to disassemble the engine and change the 16 hydraulic valves of the engine, due to my complaint they told me today that no gearbox repalcement will be done I am not accepting to buy top end car srt from Dodge then I have all of these problems in the car. The dealer in saudi is refusing to do the above and refusing to help or support by even raising it to USA head quarters so I took the following actions: 1- sent multiple emails to Dodge fca group management 2- contacted the USA customer service hot line to file a complaint 3- I filed a complaint in the saudi consumer product safety against umc.
