I discover why so many problems with Dodge Charger, replace all parts but to what extent they will fail again. I want u all know that I seen problem in another car, and it is two part, now with all u I have no interest in telling dodge how fix a multi billion dollar problem, but i tell u this they replacing alt with one with burn winding in back tell them hell no, problem is in part elec, and dodge refuses see it.

What's worse the dealerships does not talk to headquarters on problems; why they make more money on me than a recall, they will never recognize a problem as it is not in their best interest to do so. The problem can only be fix in two part, I seen this in a Ford Mustang that transmission would not work right, unless something very simple was done, question why something so so simple would fix a very bad problem.

Alternator has one huge problem if power not used it has no where dump it, regulator not so smart as to switch, now has to much power to deliver to system, so wires melt. After all these years we don't have an alternator that monitors its power use, but even to do this would never fix the problem.

Charger SE 3.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,600 miles

Bought car brand new. Received recall notice for alternator. Had recall repair done June 2015. Two years later, alternator went out again, leaving family stranded in traffic. Dealer says they have to call rep to see if Dodge will cover costs or if I have to pay $750. The alternator installed due to the recall did the same thing as the original alternator. They replaced the original with another defective alternator. The car is 3 years old and this will be the 3rd alternator. I've had vehicles with 300,000 miles and still on original alternator. In my opinion, Dodge should pay for it. When a recall fix fails just like the original, that is not a fix.

Charger

same as previous complaint. This vehicle would be good if the service people knew what they were doing, or if dodge CARED about their customers.

Charger R/T V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,300 miles

I had a 2011 Charger with 30,000 miles and had the Battery Saver Mode warning which led to my alternator smoking and car dying. Since this is a chronic issue, it was extremely hard to track down an available new alternator. I traded that vehicle in and leased a new 2014 Charger. I've had it for a month (1,300 miles) and am already experiencing the same issue. Never buying a Dodge again... Especially since they refuse to fix this chronic issue with Chargers!!!
