We had purchased a 2008 Dodge Charger with 2 miles. Approximately 3-4 months after we had purchased the vehicle it had engine oil on crankshaft seal, speedometer was erratic it would go from 60-0 from cruising, it had a jolt pulling feeling. From that point on the air conditioner was not cooling properly, & had a foul smell, cruise control would cancel by itself. Then on 06/23/2008 it had engine oil leak. So we decided to do something that would just completely ruin our credit, we voluntarily turned in the car. As of today 02/26/2009 we have a balance as per Chrysler of 7,500 dollars because they were only able to sell it for 17,000. I have invoices, to proof what our issues were, some were replaced, some TSB was and wasn't found. We had the vehicle for only 7-8 months. And for this to be such an issue with a brand new vehicle to me was just ridiculous. Since that was the main reason I had purchased a brand new car in the first place.

In July 2007 I purchased a 07 Dodge Charger. It has been in the shop 20+ times in the last 6 months. The spedometer fluctuates from 60 to 40 mph when in cruise control and feels like it is going to stall when this happens. The vehicle has odd little shakes and shimmys. The check engine light wont stay off for more then 5 days. The remote entry wont work all the time even if I'm standing right next to the vehicle. There has been a new fuel extractor put into this vehicle.

The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Charger. When applying pressure to the brakes, the vehicle vibrates excessively. The vehicle stalled twice when coming to a complete stop. While driving over 40 mph, the speedometer dropped to zero. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the key module and rpm module; however, the failure remains. She filed a complaint with the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 6 and current mileage was 25,970.
