Check Engine Light On Problems of Dodge Charger - part 1

Brakes- total brake failure of my car isn't heated up to the third line. Engine- loud ticking. Mechanic said 1 out of 12 lifters in driver's side cylinder has collapsed. Power train- when I accelerate in over drive my check engine light comes on for a couple days. When I diagnose it, it says torque converter failure. (overdrive failure) so I'm guessing I have no overdrive until the check engine light shuts back off. (who knows) Dodge/chrystler needs to check into the quality of the cars they're producing. I will neber buy another Dodge/chrystler/Jeep.

2006 Dodge Charger daytona r/t randomly stalls while driving or parked. No check engine light gets produced. In that split second that it shuts off, the car loses power completely and no brakes or power steering. This is extremely dangerous, and Dodge should issue a recall immediately to fix this issue. Most sources point to a faulty gas tank that has a lifetime warranty now but should be recalled.

First my car would not detect my keys (even after I replaced batter). When I was driving the check engine light would randomly come on and off even after getting all repairs completed. One day it repeatedly flashed on and off and keeps constantly. My car was also jumping and vibrating extremely hard and the engine was ticking. Going slow or slowing down, my car has a hard time turning. I went to autozone and ran an diagnostics. Afterwards I took it to the Dodge dealership and told them what I was experiencing and what the diagnostic said. I still haven't gotten it fixed. Moreover, my car is still at the dealership and I do not have a rental. The last time I took my car in for recalls, I was told they didn't have any rentals and I would have to purchase my own. Also, they never told me that the recall with my brake chocks weren't replaced. The individuals working in the service department didn't act really professional. They were demeaning and squaring me of things that I didn't do or agree to.

While driving my 2012 Dodge Charger, the check engine light came on. I took it to a mechanic. The mechanic immediately diagnosed the problem as a tune up was needed. So I paid money for that. After getting the car back home, I drove it around the corner to the gas station and the check engine light came on again. I took it then for further diagnosing, went back to my mechanic, only to find out the lifter on the cam shaft is bad. According to my mechanic, and 3 other certified mechanics, and from doing all my research, this problem is extremely common with this particular engine. I am usually alone with a small child to transport around town. This problem needs to be recalled immediately! I want to remain a faithful customer to Dodge, but I'm sure they are aware of this very common problem. If they don't recall this, I will not ever purchase another Dodge vehicle again. To date, I have owned 4 of them.

Defective left cylinder in pentastar 3. 6vl engine. My car was built in September 2013. It has the constant ticking and puttering associated with the defect. Drives fine, may or may not have the check engine light on, but when idle it shakes/knocks uncontrollably. My mechanic educated me on the defect after many attempts at repairing the severe misfiring. Contacted Dodge and Chrysler and was informed that because my car is a 2014 Charger it did not have the 150,000 extended warranty for his known defect in Chargers from 2011-2103; noting mine was built in 2013.

Car was operating just fine no check engine lights or anything of that nature stopped at wal-mart and was in store for about 30 mins. . Came out and went to start car and it sounded like a popcorn popper full of metal and started smoking so bad it filled entire parking lot with smoke so thick that you couldn't see 3 feet beyond your face. . So had to pull car home and when I pulled valve cover and plugs on left side I noticed meral shavings in cylinder 1 and plugs in cylinder 4 were completely smashed smashed in on themselves ( gap gone ). . Apparently the valve seats dropped into cylinders and puctured pistons. . . I have looked online and it seems that this has been a pretty regular occurrence with other 2006 hemi Chargers. . .

I gave the car fuel throttle and it stalled then died on the freeway. After being struck by another car from behind, the car started fine and still runs perfect. No check engine light. My research suggest the pcm on these cars are faulty.

Car started to have issues with hesitation and startup. The problem is intermittenly. I seen online that a lot of people are having siminar issues but cant pinpoint the problem. I seen fuel pump problems, iacv, misfiring etc. The car throws no check engine lights but when you plug the car into a obd 2 scanner it shows the long term fuel trim very high at 16. 4 in idle.

Check engine light coming on - after scan, code p0128 appears indicating that the coolant thermostat had a fault. According to service tech, most common solution is to replace engine coolant temperature sensor (ect). This apparently is very a common error on all mopar engines model years 2006-2012 or so and this happens on a lot of them. Since this is apparently a mistake on mopar's part and is very common for this year, make, and model, it should be paid for at the dealers expense. I was surprised to hear this was a somewhat known issue but that no recall has been enacted for it.

While driving in the neighborhood the car shut off lost power steering car was in drive and ignition was still on. Turned the ignition off and took several tries to restart car restarted but would not go above 10 mph and cut off 4 times thereafter. Drove a week later and same problem right before I got on the highway. Car shuts off while in drive. No check engine lights or any other indicator lights come on. This is very dangerous as this is my primary vehicle to transport my family.

My Dodge Charger cuts off while driving or while sitting at stop lights. I am able to start up again but then it shuts off at the next stop light or while driving on the interstate. There is no trouble codes or check engine lights.

When driving down the interstate (August 2017 with 130k miles on the dash) I suddenly lost throttle response and I could not accelerate. At this point motor began to shake as I coasted to the edge as my car shut off while still in the run position. A red lighting bolt appeared and my vehicle did not want to start. After attempting to start several times the car finally started. Took it to a dealer in garden city michigan where they could find nothing wrong. The lighting bolt light was gone and only a check engine light remained. Fast forward two months later the same thing happened but I could not get the car to start and it was towed to the same dealer with a dead battery this time. They kept it for several days but could not pin point the issue I. E. Bad throttle body, bad fuel pumps etc. However no codes were found because the battery died. The week before thanksgiving same situation, lost throttle response car shut off got the red bolt , battery died. Towed to aaa where I had to purchase a new battery and again no codes were found. Again this happened today while on the interstate traveling at about 80mph. Are there any tips or documentation of similar problems with the red bolt light? ive had dealership mechanics with 30+ years experience get lost with this issue. They have comes up with options but nothing concrete. I will soon be force to start guessing and checking or just get rid of the vehicle all together.

Check engine light comes on as im driving on a highway at 70mph and my car goes into "limp" mode which could of caused an accident. Cylinder 5 misfire is the diagnosis after taking it to the dealer. It appears to be a bad lifter inside of the head in which caused over 4k to fix. This is a safety hazard in which the engine failed while driving with my family inside!!.

I brought a vehicle with a rolled back odometorand the check engine light was caulked over so you could not see it was on. After I brought the car from an individual it failed emission testing. My mechanic discovered the check engine light was cualked. I decided to look up the VIN online and saw the car was sold at auction on 9/25/17 on the odometor read 199955. . Read more...

Car shuts down completely while driving. Check engine light comes on along with a red lighting bolt. Went to Dodge dealership & they ran diagnostics no code came up. They did replace fuel tank from a previous recall. Got car back & immediately stalled again. Carried car back & they ran diagnostic while driving & code came up to replace computer. Replaced & programmed computer & car is still doing it. Dodge states that they do not know what the problem is.

For several months when filling gas tank up I would smell a strong gas odor in the cabin of the car. After the gas level would start to go down the oder would go away. Well, the last few days the odor got really strong and it didn't matter how much gas was in the tank, it made me and my family really nauseous, and after a few days of this the check engine light came on and the car started sputtering like it wanted to staul out. Well finally after about a week of this the odor got so strong that it made me very fatigued and sick, you can smell the gas in my clothes and my eyes started to burn. My cars engine is clumping like the engine is about to go out so I parked it at home and shut it off. I'll have to have it towed to dealership to have it looked at. I'm sure it's gonna be just like everyone else's car with the tube leading from gas tank refule door to tank. How this hasn't been recalled is beyond me because it's affecting thousands of vehicles.

Head lights flash while driving then shut off then come back on. As I down shifted on the freeway the car died and check engine light came on now I'm stuck with a broke down car. It shifted really hard and died at the same time the check engine came on.

Our problem still has not been fixed. The car continues to "die in flight. " I have uploaded a video to youtube. Https://youtu. Be/ssawxdfdswa this occurred while attempting to merge onto the interstate. The rpms jump up and down. The oil light and the electronic throttle control light flash and ding. The check engine light came on. This is going to cause an accident and the dealership says there is nothing wrong with the car.

Tl -the contact owns a 2011 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while driving at unknown speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that there was an internal evaporation leak which cause carbon monoxide to be emitted into the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 74,657. Pm.

With out any warning while driving my vehicle on a city street my entire electrical system shut done very rapidly. Beginning with the radio shutting it self off, the vehicle then displayed indicator lights saying that my abs system was bad followed by a check engine light indicator. Shortly after the check engine light indicator came on a service transmission indicator light displayed followed by all electrical systems shutting down completely. Once I was able to pull over the car would not shift into park. I then tried shutting the car off and the car would not turn off. The windshield wipers and other car accessories began to turn on and off on their own. At that time a strong plastic burning smell began followed by smoke from the engine compartment. In order to shut down the vehicle I had to disconnect the battery. The next morning I reconnected the battery to see if the problem had fixed itself. At that point the vehicle started, but still had the same electrical issues from the night before. The only difference was this time the vehicle shut itself off and will no longer start. Upon having the vehicle problem diagnosed it appears that the alternator failed without any prior warning causing a complete electrical shutdown of the vehicle. Upon further research, there has been a recall for the 2012 Dodge Charger vehicles concerning faulty alternators in vehicles that are equipped with 160 amp alternators. Mine has a 180 amp alternator, but still experienced a short in the alternator as described by recall p60 issued in 2014. Upon calling our local Dodge dealership we were told that our vehicle was under recall. After towing the vehicle to the Dodge dealership we were told that the car was not under the recall list and we would be responsible for paying the towing fees a long with repair fees for the replacement of the alternator.

I have complained on this vehicle multiple times now. It continues to have a randomly stalling engine while driving. The dealership claims it is not the gas tank. It has finally started causing the check engine light to come on (yay! it might actually get fixed). Just kidding! the dealership states that the codes that show up are general pcm codes that mean nothing. From online research, it appears it may be an electrical issue with the pcm, ecm, or numerous other parts. Either way, most of us go without cars for weeks while mechanics cannot find the actual cause thus cannot fix a dangerous vehicle. Most of us don't want to drive vehicles that stall while going 40 mph.

On 07/20/2015 at around 1:15 I parked my vehicle in concord mills mall parking lot, went in to return a product. I returned to my car around 1:25, attempted to start my vehicle(push button start) it cycled to the "run" position, but the car didn't start. After about 4 attempts I knew something was wrong because I smelt a "burnt electrical smell". I exited the vehicle and popped my hood, I took a look around at all physical features of the engine to try and locate a visual problem. Nothing was visible to my eye, I then got back into the vehicle and attempted to start the vehicle again, after a few attempts I called to my local dealership to ask a couple questions on what might be going on, after some speculation we came to check my fuses. I then exited the vehicle and took a look at my fuse box located under my hood, I noticed that I had a 30amp 58v "boxed shaped fuse" that had blown. I visited a near by advance auto parts store to purchase a fuse, they did have one so I purchased the fuse and returned to the vehicle to install. Once I returned to the vehicle I disconnected my "+ positive" battery terminal and installed the fuse. Afterwards I reconnected the battery terminal and attempted to start the vehicle again. Once again I got nothing, I also checked the fuse and it had blown again. I then contacted a tow truck and was towed to henedrick Dodge on 7/20 around 5:45. They contacted me on 7/21 and I was told that my engine wire harness had melted!! and that it had shorted out my starter. I'm very upset because I feel that this engine harness could have caught fire. My obd didn't make me aware of any type of issue or no check engine light ever came on. My car has been serviced on time to factory standards at only Dodge dealerships. No major work has ever been done to my vehicle before also. I'm getting the $1600. 00 fix but feel bother that something could catch fire.

While driving on the highway in traffic at approximately 70 mph the car stalled with no check engine light or engine misfire/stuttering. The stall was as if the key was turned to the off position. The car coasted to the side of the road, restart was attempted and the car started perfectly, I continued to drive. The car stalled again after a few miles, restarted and it stalled again - this continued, each time with the time driven being less. All this time the check engine light did not illuminate. I finally made it to a shop where the car was diagnosed and the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor was replaced. This did not solve the stalling issue. The car will have the pcm replaced in hope that this will solve the problem. This is a very unsafe failure especially when traveling at high speeds - the car loses all power and is very difficult to move into the shoulder when it stalls (no power steering). This is a very serious safety concern that can be catastrophic.

When merging onto the freeway upon slight acceleration the engine died, in front of a semi truck! we had no power steering or brakes! this is a huge safety issue!! we were lucky to not have crashed. I then turned key to off and restarted to resolve the issue. This has happened 6 more times at lower speeds I. E. 15mph, 20, 30 mph ranges, with no check engine light!? brought it into mechanic and they couldn't find the issue, car had no codes. They suggested replacing the crank position sensor. We did that and it was fine. . For 15 miles until it died again!!! still no codes, dealer wont help, I can't drive the car as it is unsafe. I did some internet searches. Found about a known issue with the fuel evap system and the fuel tank and filler neck. These faulty parts cause the car to read false rich signals and causes the engine to run leaner. So now, lack of appropriate fuel upon acceleration causes the engine to stall and lose effected drive systems. This is ludicrous from Chrysler how many deaths has this caused!?!?.

Note: I am documenting my most recent date of incident because there have been so many inconsistent, unpredictable incidences to recall the first. These issues have gone on for probably at least 3 months now. Today while waiting at a stop light, my car died as light turned green and I got ready to go. I was still in idle/ no acceleration. I put the vehicle in park and attempted to start. I was able to get it started and moving before the light changed but not soon enough. I even put flashers on so drivers behind me would know I wasn't getting anywhere on first attempt at moving. (this occurred 2 days prior while waiting in line of traffic---twice in the parking lot. On Sunday it died at least 5 times while waiting in long line of traffic/congested parking lot after an event. ) once I arrived at my destination tonight, I decided to check for code and got none. Then after idling about 5 minutes it died. I again started it and let it idle. It died again. I did this a few more times with same result in even less idle time. I did notice that the last time showed the check engine light and the oil light. I'm not sure if this is part of the fuel tank issue for which I got a recall letter last may or not. This is getting frustrating. (by the way, I have a half tank of gas. I haven't refueled in a few days. ) prior to this random stalling it would 'hiccup' during acceleration. The rpm's would plummet and a chime would go off. This lasted maybe a second and then returned to normal. Some hiccups have been mild while others were jerky. When I talked to Dodge service dept about hiccup they didn't think this was fuel tank issue. Fortunately, both problems aren't occurring at same time but both have been frustrating. The hiccups haven't occurred since the dieing started. I am frustrated and concerned about our safety.
