A licensed mechanic did a diagnostic test and the code P1DB7 came up. The reason for calling the mechanic was after driving my car the next day it didn't want to start, there was recalls already repaired apparently yet the code states that it's a Faulty Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Faulty Transmission Control Module (TCM). there's still an electrical problem TPMS is still not reading the computer system correctly is just not right therefore it's not reading anything correctly. the original control arms w/ball JT including the steering column is all bad and will cause a wreck or someone killed caused of the instability.
I bought a used 2012 Dodge Charger and had everything checked out by big O tires prior to purchase. A few days later, my husband was stuck at the gas station because the gear shift would not come out of park. This has happened multiple times in various places and weather conditions and the dealer cannot figure out what is wrong. The brake switch is good, we had the whole gear shift assembly replaced and still have the problem. Upon watching you tube videos, it must be the transmission interlock switch (the infamous pink plastic piece) that Dodge/Chrysler owners are having issues with. There was a recall on 2005-07 Dodge Chargers to replace the pink transmission shift interlock latch that breaks and prevents vehicles from shifting out of park. My 2012 and many vehicles after 2007 are also affected. I am currently waiting for the dealer to replace this part. I would like to request this recall to be extended to include model years after 2007, to include my 2012 Charger.
I have filed a complaint in regards to the issue previously, but new information that mopar issued a campaign to recall the timing chain on over 50K vehicle for this issue but mopar refused to cover my timing chain due to my vehicle had to many miles and I am not the first owner. I find it completely unsafe to have a timing chain snap while driving at any speed. I was attempting to turn on a main street when this issue occured. Please advise if anything further comes. I attached a copy of the previous recall on this issue

Timing chain snapped while driving. I have the 5.7 liter V8 hemi. I have read a lot of complaints in regards to the same issue. My vehicle has only 105K miles on it.
It was in drive and when I open the door it refuse to get into gear and went back into park and then when I tried to put it in gear or reverse it wouldn't do either and the service shifter light and engine light both came on and I had to let it sit for about 15 or 20 minutes before it would get into a gear for me to drive it....and this was after the safety recall for the gear shifter so I feel that still have something to do with my gear shifter that they did the recall on...it didnt start happening until that safety shift went into park when I open my door and it wouldnt go into another gear after that....
Takata inflators we brought our car to lakeland Dodge in Florida as scheduled, to have this recall fixed. After 4hours of waiting they said they did the repair to correct it. We checked the database on this site and it said that the repair is was not conducted. I need to get this fixed and I do not have the time to waste. I attached the invoice so you can see what they did.
The oil pump is not giving enough pressure for the car to accelerate therefore causing problems on the road and many times dangerous situations. There is also a check engine light on. I replaced everything that could be wrong with it except the dual stage oil pump. I've talked to many technicians and they said that that is the only thing it can be. Please review this on the 2012 Dodge Charger SXT rwd 3.6L engine. It is a safety concern.
Vehicle electronics started to shut off while driving and would not accelerate car then turned off and shifted to park on its own in the middle of the street. Car would not turn on with out a jump start when disconnected would not shift and would not idle right before shutting off
My vehicle has the same issues regarding P60 / NHTSA 14V-634 recall. The alternator does not provide enough voltage to the vehicle and the entire system begins to fail. While driving on a street traveling around 30 mph I received no warning and my began to shut down. All of the lights began turning on and off, the wipers turned on, and then my car completely shut off. This caused me to nearly hit another vehicle and injure myself. This is a huge safety concern and someone could be hurt.
Battery saver mode appeared on my dash. The next day driving home the car stalled and shut down completely. In the owners manual. It really doesn't state do not drive the vehicle get it towed. I was on my way to get the car diagnose. I was driving when my car decided to stall out. I wasn't on a main road but it could have been worse. The dealer said the battery and alternator is fired. The car would not recognize neither one of my fob. I feel as though the verbiage should be updated in the owners manual specifically about th message battery saver mode. It may save a life.
I was driving home from a family reunion last night at 11pm on the highway which is 65-80mph and no street lights whatsoever, with my two year old son and fianc in the car and out of nowhere the vehicle had completely went haywire and shut down. My lights went out including exterior lighting and the gauges went black and wipers and heat were going crazy. I then panicked because I had never seen such a thing and tried to get off the highway as soon as I could without being hit by the semi that watched my car go dark and tried to prevent an accident by puting on his hazards and following me. I had no breaks no traction control and no power steering, making it extremely dificult to finally get the car at rest. I was terrified for my family and I's safety as my cars malfunction could have caused a terrible accident and deaths...I then began to look up why my car had done what it did and it seems that multiple people are having this problem with this model and still nothing has been done for any of us who had went through this distress. I hope to get all of this figured out asap. No car with these problems should be on the street. My two year old should never had witnessed something for terrifying.
Trunk opens on its own. At times you can even hear it clicking as though you are pushing the release button. Sometimes I open the garage in the morning and the trunk is open sometimes right when I start the car it will open, ill shut it then it opens again. Other times it wont open again on its own after I shut it. This should be a safety recall!
I have had numerous recalls on this car, especially one that is pending that does not seem to have a remedy yet, I also had a problem with the driver seat making cracks and squeaky noises as well as losing my settings so I often have to adjust the seat, I took the car in about 4-5 times for this repair and it was never done correctly.
My interior driver side handle got stuck and would not allow the door to close. We got it repaired and thankfully was covered under warranty in 8/2014. Now here we are again, 11/2016 and the exact same issue! the door will not close again!
Cylinder misfire caused converter to be replaced. Service center advised me to call Dodge to inquire about converter being covered by dodgr becausethe converter was collateral damage. Still waiting for resolution. Accident**
I was driving on the highway when the ABS and traction control indicator came on. I also noticed a burning smell so I turned off the ac and noticed the radio power was off so I tried powering it back on but to no avail. The smell continued and the vehicle seemed to slow down and the speedometer hand began to go crazy flipping back and forth so I pulled over to the nearest exit and turned the vehicle off. I attempted to restart and nothing happened. The tow truck guy arrived and tried to boost it and it began to smoke. It still had no power. I'm highly disappointed considering I purchased the vehicle brand new. I thought by purchasing the model with hemi I was getting a better quality vehicle. Apparently not. Would never expect to be broke down on the side on the road in such fairly new vehicle. Also had to have the radiator replaced like a year prior. Then the passenger headlight also has some type of shortage which the dealer couldn't detect what the problem is and the bottom fog lamps no longer work. Seems to be several wiring issues on the front end. Dealer diagnosed my vehicle and I now need a new alternator, starter, and battery which will cost me $1300. Sucks because there is a recall for alternator but for now it only applies to the vehicles with 3.6L motor. Wanted to trade my vehicle for the new Dodge but now I've changed my mind!
In motion on busy highway, heard noises from engine, stereo suddenly turned off and ABS and stability control lights came on. Engine started smoking and could smell burning electrical then went into a stall. Battery saver mode indicator came on. Alternator is shot. Contacted Chrysler and was told that I was not covered (did a VIN check) under their current alternator recall/battery. Recall number is P60. I have owned the vehicle for 2 months and it only has 58K miles on it. Was a very dangerous situation. Have not performed the repairs yet but am ordering a new alternator and battery today.
