2 Engine Noise problem of the 2012 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 05/20/2017

Driving on florida turnpike and several car indicator warning lights came on, stability control, battery and so many others that I cannot remember them. A high pitched noise was emitted, car started smoking from vents and smelled like an electrical fire. I was passing a turnpike stop and was able to unsafely cross several lanes of traffic to pull in to the stop. I made it into the parking lot just in time and the car cut out. Had to take to be towed to the closest mechanic and leave overnight because it was too hot to connect to computer to troubleshoot. The battery casing was melted. The alternator and the battery had to be replaced. I am very grateful that I was next to a turnpike stop when this happened or my car would have shut down in the middle of the highway and could have resulted in a serious accident.

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.

6 Engine Noise problem of the 2006 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 06/10/2015

We had no warning (e. I. Engine light not lit, not running hot, no strange sounds, etc. ). The car died so when it wouldn't start up after trying for a second time, we towed it to the dealership after hours. The next morning we get a call saying that the valve seat guide failed and and the pistons weren't getting any oil in the 4th cylinder of the motor. So the motor needs to be replaced and it's gonna $8000. It's been sitting at the dealership going on three months. With all these complaints about the same thing, Dodge should be doing something about this. This is unacceptable Dodge! I have been researching this every since my car malfunctioned. Dodge/diamler Chrysler needs to be sued! I am waiting for a class action law-suit to be announced-.

8 Engine Noise problem of the 2012 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 05/01/2015

Apparently it is a known issue with Dodge Chargers and other vehicles with the same engine but the 3. 5l will develop a "ticking" noise that is caused by a rocker dowel pin shearing off. A simple search online will show numerous owners with the same issue. From the shifting of the sheared pin, the oiling holes become misaligned and the rockers starve from oil a bit. . Read more...

10 Engine Noise problem of the 2012 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 07/23/2014

Leaving work I noticed my radio suddenly turned off, display showed power saver mode. I contacted my husband by cell phone and he advised me to stop driving it because there had been reports of fires, crashes and loss of control. I was turning on to my street and I lost control of steering, brakes, and all power in the car. I was coasting to park and noticed that there was smoke coming out from under the hood. My husband came down to look at the vehicle and could not turn vehicle on at all. Now, I drive our car to and from work, a 15 minute trip 6 days a week. We regularly keep our vehicle serviced. This car is coming on a 2 year anniversay and I have paid for a new battery, parts/labor and diagnostic test. Dealership says that my car is safe to drive but the alternator is making a noise and that it can last from 6 months to a year or die a week from now. How dramatic is that? Chrysler gave me a case # and adivsed me that they needed to know what was wrong with it before they offered cost assistance. There is no amount of money that either company can give me to replace the loss of a life in my family. Please keep us safe and fix these defective vehicles off of the road to prevent even more unnecessary collisions.

12 Engine Noise problem of the 2006 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 06/05/2014

Driving my 2006 Charger daytona with my toddler from lunch, going to to get gas, and then go home. My Charger engine died while driving. It started but sounded different. I pushed into a parking lot. I thought maybe I ran out of gas. But no gas light was on just an engine light & a lightning bolt now. I put a couple of gallons of gas just to be sure. I started the car. The engine sounded like a rattling and died out again. I left the key in the on to make sure fuel got to the injectors. Started again very briefly same noise then it never started again. Towed it home. Lifted the plastic engine cover found a large hole and three inner engine parts (one was a spring, possible parts to a rod) that had blown out of the hole. I keep my Charger up to date with care and maintenance. I had no performance issues or warning lights prior to this happening. I called the dealer and the service center told me he has never heard of such thing, he wasn't a "tech", and whoever did my last oil change "probably didn't do it right".

14 Engine Noise problem of the 2006 Dodge Charger

My Dodge Charger will shut off intermittently. I've spent money going to mechanics and the dealership and no one knows whets causing it. The dealership made me sound as if I was lieing or crazy. It wasn't until my boss told me today he saw it on the news today (I've been complaining about it for months now) I decided to file a complaint to let you know it is happening to my car.

15 Engine Noise problem of the 2006 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 11/12/2012

Was driving to my office and didn't get any warning and the car engine sounded real bad and once I got to my office to park it it killed . Had to get someone to help me move the car out the middle of the parking lot and had to call a tow service to tow it to the shop and found out the engine failure. Now I only had over 100k and they said the motor have to be replaced!! the piston hit the head and piston arm shattered and it cause my engine to fail!! now my car is park in the yard because of the cost of a new motor!!! I tried to see with Dodge but the motor I have is on back order . So to me it seemed it should be recalled because of all the stories I read online with people having the same problems with motor failure of the 06 Charger 5. 7 hemi.
