On June 21st of 2012, while my car was sitting in the parking lot running with my kids in the car, my A/C was running to keep them cool. It was over 100* outside and my kids needed to stay cool. I was out of my car for a matter of minutes and I heard a loud popping sound. As I turned to my car, I saw a large pool of antifreeze under my car. I turned my car off and turned my car into the body shop that I was parked in front of to fix it. They advised that my cooling fan fell apart and caused damage to my radiator. This required my to replace the cooling fan and the radiator. It only required me to replace the driver's side cooling fan at this time. I was unaware of any problems with the Dodge Chargers cooling fans at this time. (two realted voqs from same complainant: 1023591, 10523589)

I stopped my Dodge Charger in the gas station parking lot. I just finished washing my Charger and was on my way to a car show. I stopped at the gas station to wait for the rest of the people in my group. My girlfriend exited her vehicle and got into my car. I started my car back up to run the A/C. within a few seconds of starting my car up, I heard a loud bang. I immediately turned my car off and exited my vehicle. As I got out of my vehicle, I observed a small stream of green fluid (antifreeze) running beneath my vehicle. I popped my hood and observed my radiator was damaged again. I also observed that my cooling fan was in pieces again. But this time it was my passenger side cooling fan. I had my car towed to the same body shop as last year and the mechanic there advised me to look into an recalls involving the cooling system of my car. He explained that it occurred the same way as the other fan did a year ago. At that time I saw a customer satisfaction notification L08 that involved Dodge Chargers 2006-2008. I read the notification and learned that my vehicle was not covered by this notification. My Dodge Charger was originally sold in Florida and I bought it in Florida. My Charger was manufactured on 10/10/2007 and my Charger is a 2008. I felt like my car was covered by this notification in several ways. But Chrysler claims that my VIN was not covered due to the sales code, even though the defect the notification mentioned was precisely the same.

The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Charger. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 mph a loud popping and banging noise emitted from underneath the hood. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road. The driver noticed that the fan assembly and radiator both fractured as a result of a large amount of antifreeze leakage. In addition, steam emitted from underneath the hood. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The manufacturer issued a customer satisfaction notification related to the electronic power cooling fan. The reference was number L08. The VIN was not included in the customer satisfaction notification. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 182,000.

Ignition modulator switch shut the car completly down as the was coming to a stop this part attaches into the computer and can go at anytime even when driving. Chrysler has a major back order on this part and has no idea when they can get the part to the dealerships to correct the issue. There are over 1000 vehicles currently with issue across the usa. I have checked with dealerships from NJ as far as mo after they check the database in the parts department I get the same answer no part in stock.

Driving down the highway the engine just shut off. No lights came on prior to this. I pulled over and it started back. I went back toward my home (20 miles) and stopped at a store and when I pulled back on the road it shut off again. It started back but left me afraid to drive the car anymore. This is very dangerous and I suspect it has something to do with the fobik key turning back to the off position on its on, because sometimes when I start it sticks in the start position and does not spring back.

Was driving to work and going about 30 mph and accelerating after a stop light and engine started to hesitate and then heard very load rattling/ticking noise that is non stop. Car stalled in middle of street. Finally got it started again. Car did make it home but would not accelerate too much. Am now told by mechanic that engine is blown and need to replace it. Have maintained this engine and replaced oil regularly. Driven to work and home and little else. Driven well, and taken care of. Prior to me owning it was owned by my moms company for an executive car and it was managed by a fleet manager and serviced and maintained well. They were original owners even though title shows 2 changes. It may have been transferred to a fleet management company after the initial purchase. I am the 2nd owner. I am given a $4000 estimate to replace the engine. I am still paying the loan for this car.

On christmas eve, December 24th 2012 at approximately 1:45 in the afternoon I was driving my 2008 Dodge Charger on a busy intersection when all of a sudden I heard a loud banging noise from my engine compartment. After I heard the loud noise, my 2008 Dodge Charger immediately stopped and shut off in the middle of the busy intersection nearly causing a chain reaction multicar accident. A local police offer came to the scene and helped direct traffic until I was able to physically push my car out of heavy traffic. Once I was able to look under the hood I noticed a lot of coolant pouring to the ground. I also notice that there was no coolant in the coolant department. I contacted the local Dodge dealership, but unfortunately they were closed due to the holidays. Lucky I was able to bring my 2008 Dodge Charger to tire kingdom. The manager of tire kingdom identified the problem and stated that my cooling fan broke off causing the broken pieces of the fan to fly into my radiator which caused my radiator damage and left a hole in my radiator. Additionally I had to pay $571.36 to repair my 2008 Dodge Charger and the day before christmas on top of that. I have full receipts for the repairs and I also have pictures of the broken fan and damaged radiator. After going to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website www.NHTSA.gov I discovered that Dodge had a tsbs out for this problem. Therefore, this problem was not my fault what so ever.
