The rocker bearing on the top side of the moter was broken (set back and not rolling. I had a heating problem with the car and had it back to the dealership . At which time they replaced the thermostat and told me that if I had a problem that they would deal with it then. Well now is then and I am replaceing the moter that I changed the oil every 3000-5000 miles they even said it is the cleanest moter they had ever seen. So the mobil 1 0-40 did not help. I have had problems with this car for awhile. First the brakes went out at 13,000 miles in which a service bulliten was out on , because the wrong system was put on at the factory . So I had to replace the brake system because it had 13,000 miles on it and out of the 12 month 12,000 mile warrenty. I had called them numerous times about the concern of the temp. Of the engine and was told that these cars run a little hotter than others. It turned out that again something from the factory where a service notice put out short of a recall and they are not required to disclose those. I really believe that nothing is going to be done about this , but enough is enough. The mileage on the car is 109,000 miles . Car has never been driven hard .

The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that the while cleaning the engine compartment, he discovered that the high pressure cooling line for the air conditioner did not have any protection and exhibited abnormal wearing. As the vehicle was being driven to the dealer, the hose split in half, causing coolant to spew all over the engine compartment and the cabin of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a local repair shop where it was diagnosed that as a result of the hose splitting, the air conditioner system would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 16,000 and current mileage was 81,000.

My 2006 Dodge Charger r/t experienced an overheating engine. After my mechanic performed many tests, he found out the a/c fan had numerous defects. The a/c fan broke apart, causing the engine cooling fan to also fail - resulting my vehicle overheating. This faulty a/c fan is apparently a known issue but not important enough for a recall. Thankfully, I was in town and not on the road because my engine temp spiked to red when the fans failed. My mechanic suggests I replace the fan periodically, to keep from having it continue to fail and damage the entire cooling system.

Plastic radiator cooling fan broke apart, shattering the fan blades, fan shroud and making numerous large holes in the radiator. Vehicle undriveable and repaired under warranty. Police vehicle.

In sept. 2008, Dec. 2008, may 11 2009, may 21, 2009, both cooling fans quit working completely causing a sudden rise in cooling temps. Since December the dealership has replaced the fans at n/c. On June 1 2009 the low speed cooling fan has quit working causing a hotter than normal operating temp of the cooling system, as high as 230 degrees. Everything possible has been checked on the car by the dealership & phone calls to Chrysler by the dealership were unable to find any reason for these fans to fail this often. I bought the car new in September 2005. This is the 5th failure of this component since September of 2008.

2006 Dodge Charger r/t 5. 7 engine. Both cooling fan motors have gone out 4 times since sept. 2008. The first replacement set lasted till December 08, 2008. That set lasted until may 11, 2009. That replacement set lasted until may 21, 2009. Each time the car has been completely checked for a cause of failure, which shows everything to be normal. This set from may 11 had 1 motor completely locked up. There is no warning signs of impending failure. The temp gauge needle immediately spikes into the red area and the temp readout went to above 240 degrees from 195 degrees in a matter of seconds. The fan blades show signs of hitting the shroud, but on inspection the fan blades and shroud show no signs of deformity and are the same size as normal. This is the 4th failure in approximately 8 months with the last only being 10 days from repair to failure. The dealership has been fantastic, Chrysler was called and could offer no suggestions other than checking everything associated with the cooling system & electrical system which were normal. Each time the cooling fan motors were replaced, only to fail within days to a few months. The last time on may 21 I had to hurry and shut the engine off, in traffic, and coast to a side street to let the engine cool down.

Pebbles or debris has entered the lower cooling valance on my 2007 Dodge Charger is to wide, which allows any and all debris to damage the air conditioner condenser. Which Dodge does not cover or recognize as a design flaw. The a/c condenser is exposed to any and all objects coming through that particular area. The 3 lbs of freon released to the atmosphere, which when the car is in motion the freon will go through engine compartment and eventually end up in the passenger area. Freon is a oxygen displacement type gas which can cause sickness, vomiting,hypoxio and eventually suffocation. This is a possible safety hazard. Freon 134a also expels a toxic gas if exposed to temps above 452f which catalytic converters reach temps above 500f.

Radiator cooling fan motors quit working & vehicle immediately pegged the temp gauge. The motors were hot when checking as soon as it happened. This has now happened in sept. 2008, Nov. 2008 & April 2009. Replacing both of the motors solved the problem the 1st 2 times. Vehicle has not yet been fixed on the 3rd failure. The mileage on the vehicle has been about 40,000 on 1st incident, 42,000 on 2nd incident & 45,000 on 3rd incident.
