The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while driving 75 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning.

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
Started about 2 years ago. When going from 3rd to 4th gear car RPM would spike high then violently shift gears. Past few months it's starting to do it from 2nd to 3rd gear also. Also sometimes will not down shift to first gear after coming to complete stop. When this happens will start off in second gear will not shift from 3rd to 4th at all and will not let you shift manually. Have to pull over put it in park and turn car off. This has fixed the problem in the past but it is extremely dangerous and Dodge really needs to look into making things right.

When I first purchased the vehicle it had a tick I asked the dealership what was that they told me it was a (hemi tick) that all Chargers had that sound so I drove it to around 100, 000 miles and while driving down the road it begin to make this loud noise sounding like a truck. I took it to the shop and they told me my number 3 plug or whatever it's called was misfiring took it to crown Dodge and they told me that it was going to cost me 8,599 to fix this probkem that I always had. Now I took it to another dealership and they told me before looking at it what was wrong come to find out I have the same vehicle as every sheriff in our town and he has fixed everyone of their vehicles with the exact same problem this sounds like a problem that is going on with a lot of these Chargers and this is just weird to me it's no coincidence that I have talked to at least 20 other people with the same car as mine with the same issue. I want to know what can I do about this problem.
P60 recall: Yesterday, my husband was driving our 2013 Dodge Charger when the battery like came on. Nothing else happened then, but about 15 seconds later - - everything on the dash started flashing, the windshield wipers came on, the car started to jerk and then everything died. He managed to coast into our driveway - luckily was headed home from work and only doing 20mph. No warning - no nothing. Just all of a sudden - entire system failure. No power steering or anything. Kind of a electrical smell in the car. At first, we thought that maybe the battery was loose or something or bad ground. Checked that. Tried jumping - terminals started smoking. Did a search and found out that our VIN is showing an unrepaired P60 recall. Called the dealership this morning - now being told that it may be the P60 recall, but we can't know until we get it to the dealership - who - coincidentally has no appointments available for a week, does not provide loaner cars (or free rental), and may or may not cover the towing. I then contacted Dodge and was told that it could be the recall, but they do not provide rentals or loaners. What" so - - they know that this is an issue in 1/2 a million vehicles, but they accept no responsibility for it other than to switch the part out" very poor customer service on Dodge's part and I will be pursuing this further, once we have confirmed that the part number on the alternator is the correct part number for the recall. I am not waiting to get it up there for them to mysteriously lose the part or even better - pretend that it isn't the right part number. I am feeling very untrusting of Dodge right now!

The number 6 piston is misfiring and causing the car to jerk. The part in other 2013 Chargers has been recalled, mine is having the same issue, but not on recall list. It happens when car is stationary the most, but does happen when driving too. It happens on city streets and on highways.

My car still moves after placing Dodge Charger SE VIN: [xxx] into park along with emergency parking brake then turning off motor. The car still moves on it's own, sometimes even after sitting over night. I start to open one of my doors and the car starts moving on it's own. All of this is done while being parked on "even surfaces", such as my driveway at home (stationary with motor off. Please help me someone. It's been doing this since I bought it off the showroom floor brand new. I am the first owner of this vehicle. Thank you.

On my way home from reno, nv I was getting onto the I-80 freeway when the check engine light came on suddenly and the car manually shifted to neutral ( in the middle of the freeway) the car began to loose power and then there was a loud bang in the rear of the vehicle. Luckily, I close to an exit and was able to safely pull off. The car rmps were very night though the car was stalled. The dealer later diagnosed the car and was told the problem was the transmission and would have to be replaced. So far I've had 6 recalls with this car and 3 repairs under warranty.
At times when driving either on a city street or highway, the transmission will downshift to low gear out of nowhere. Ex: I'm driving on the interstate at high speeds and I hear that sound...like it has been thrown in 1st gear. At times have been driving 60+ mph when this has happened. The only way to "reset" is to hurry and pull over and restart vehicle. It has happened numerous times, but sporadically, during the past couple years. The most recent incident, just a couple of weeks ago in April 2018. The service engine light does not comes on. I notice a recall for transmissions, but my VIN does not show it is needed on my model car.
As driving up the highway my 2013 Dodge Charger jerked and when I looked at the dashboard there was a message that said 'service transmission shut off engine to engage park' my engine light was also on. I pulled over but my car would not go into park. I tried to pull back off to get to a safe place little did I know that my car would not pick up speed, traffics was approaching and there is was in the middle of the road trying pushing down on the gas pedal to hurry and move before the coming traffick made it to me, it was an 18 wheeler. I could have been dead today due to this issue and I'm not wondering why there is nothing being done about this problem.
I've check with jim burke Dodge several times regarding the recall on the transmission for my 2013 Dodge Charger. As of today January 15, 2018 nothing has been done. I'm being told their isn't a fix at this time.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that the dealer (anderson Toyota, 6510 showplace ave, lake havasu city, AZ 86404, (928) 764-2886) failed to mention that there were five manufacturer recalls on the vehicle before the vehicle was sold. The dealer (anderson Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, 3920 AZ-95, lake havasu city, AZ 86404, (928) 764-5153) was unable to determine when the manufacturer would be able to provide the remedy and repair parts for the recalls. In addition, when using the car jack, it was structurally unable to hold the weight of the vehicle and would collapse to the ground without warning. The manufacturer recalls were for the air bags, power train, and electrical system (alternator assembly). The manufacturer provided case number: 32367806 and indicated that they would follow-up with the contact. The contact was informed that there was currently no repair solution; however, the manufacturer presented the option of a buy back. The contact was waiting an extended period of time to determine recourse. The NHTSA campaign numbers were unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000.
