The car randomly dies. I will come to a stop sign or stop light and it will shut off without warning. Usually I put the car in park and it starts back up without issues. Last time it happened when I started it back up it was stuck in 3rd gear. I've had it towed to Landmark dodge before and they said cam shaft sensor so they replaced it. Then it happened again and they agreed it was the battery. Replaced the battery. Does it again (this last time when it wouldn't come out of 3rd gear. Check engine light now on and no traction control) tow to Landmark they keep it for 3 days and they said it was acting normal and they see nothing wrong. Waiting for it to happen AGAIN. Every time Landmark tells me my car is fine.

No warning lights. Loses power, shuts down when traveling. Must pull over, come to a complete stop, put vehicle in park, wait 2-3 minutes sometime longer before it will start back up, Has been occurring for at least 6`months now. Repair shop/dealer unable to confirm due to the fact that it doesn't occur when test driven!!
One day when I was driving, I heard a really loud sound coming from my car that hurt my ears so I drove back home under 5 miles per hour because whatever was hitting under the hood of my car was way too loud. As I was parking in my spot at home, my car shut off completely. Couldn't even put it in park and said to check engine. I ended up having to get my car towed to lithia of Dodge to look at it to see whats wrong because I couldnt even turn my car back on at all or do anything with it it was undriveable. I was told the driveshaft broke and slammed against the engine, transmission, anything basically connected to the driveshaft was damaged. They didn't total it out and told me to call my insurance but then they sent me elsewhere too and for 6 months I could not get anything worked out. Come to find out, there was a safety recall on 2016 Dodge Chargers for one of the reasons being the driveshaft not being tightened enough when made or something that it broke and could potentially lead to an accident that could cause injuries! I am lucky that I did not get in an accident or hurt because it happened when I was driving. It said that the recall was completed but of it was, it shouldnt have broke on my car. I stopped paying my loan and everything because no one was totalling it out or sending me to someone who could help so now my car is repossessed and says I still owe on it which I feel is wrong and I shouldnt have the repossession or be having to pay anything on it.
I purchased 2016 Dodge Charger one month ago from California auto direct in montclair. While signing the paperwork, we questioned a $1,000 dealer charge which they explained was for a thorough inspection before putting their car on the lot to sell (all lies). Since I purchased the car on 3/7/20, the car has stalled on me while driving 3 times. I took the car to a "Dodge" dealer and they fixed a recall, oil leak and replaced a missing caliper, old battery. After completing all the repairs, the car stalled on me again. Each time the steering and brakes locked up. The dealership found no codes as to why the car just stops while driving. This car is a safety hazard. I contacted Dodge.com online chat and they told me to let the dealer try and work on it and use their resources. Unfortunately, they can't find anything. I read about recalls on other Dodge Chargers and challengers that had similar problems, unfortunately not M year... 2016.
I was headed to work yesterday morning and before I got to work I heard a loud noice under the hood and smoke starting rolling out of under the hood. I pulled over to the closest intersection to get off highway and discovered oil all over the car and all under the car. I contacted my dealership that I just bought the car through (haven't even made the first payment) and they towed it back to the dealership. Further inspection they said the design of the car how it pulls air through the fender it sucked water up from driving down the highway and hydro locked the motor. I do zero first roads on my vehicles so it's definitely not right for this to happen driving down a highway and throw a rod through the motor. My extended warranty won't cover it nor will my insurance. It's a brand new car. I need help!!
Car keeps cutting off when driving disabling traction control and sport control due to bad alternator this happened on the freeway and on surface streets and can cause an accident because you lose complete power from the car with no notice.
My car was parked on a hit and run on August of 2018. My car was parked on a flood March 2019, my car has repairs covered by the insurance of $19,000 and it's still in the shop. I honestly think that my vehicle is not safe for me to drive.
My wife bought me a 2016 Dodge hellcat labor day weekend sale, this was a present 9/1/2018 I bought the Lincoln 9/2/2018 she bought me the hellcat. When my wife went back to the dealership, they never took my wife out to test drive the car or gave her the car fax report or pointed out any defects. The dealer also told my wife that we were the second owners. I had to buy a carfax report to find out and argue with the dealership that I was the 3rd owner. My wife bought the hellcat 9/2/2018 and I had it back at the dealership 9/14/2018 for multiple issues 1. rattling in the front every time drive over a bump 2. the vehicle would pull to the right. 3. a piece of paint on the back bumper where the trunk met the bumper had damage. 4. tires where balled on the inside tire and less than 1/32 on the outside tire. All these issues were a fight and should've never been questioned, the dealership knew about these problems and I still had to fight, I ended up paying for 2 tires the dealership had my car for 49 days at the crown motors of redding. The only issues resolved was the tires and paint chip. Then 11/12/18 to 12/3/2018 the car was back in the shop a second time for the same problem at the Dodge roseville auto mall to fix the rattling problems in the front. In between the dates from 11/12 ' 12/3 the dealership called me up and said my vehicle was ready. Myself and the service manager test drove it and discovered that the noise was still not fixed. 12/3/2018 we drove it again and the noise was finally fixed but the pulling to the right still appeared to still be happening. I was told that's common after a wheel alignment I wanted to disagree, but I had no more fight left in me especially after finding out about my wife's medical problems. I'm just disgusted with the whole situation especially with the owner of crown motors and I had a case with the BBB that I won.
SE apag mientras manejaba por lo que SE remplazo de bomba de gasolina en agosto 2017 Y de nuevo en junio de 2018 encendi la luz del motor en el panel, ruido fuerte en el motor. Remplazo de tapa de bloque septiembre 2017 Y de nuevo en junio de 2018
After driving on a highway at normal highway speeds, I parked my car in a motel parking lot, got out, and noticed oil sprayed onto the passenger side front and back doors including part of the rear bumper, saw oil sprayed on the passenger front tire, and noticed a puddle of oil on the ground under the passenger front door. After checking the oil dipstick, it registered zero oil. No warning lights or sound alerted me that the oil level was low. I towed my car to the dealer and they found that an oil cooler hose ruptured and resulted in complete oil loss. It is still in the shop waiting for a replacement hose. This defective hose problem was found on 2017 Charger models that could result in engine seizure or fire and they will be recalled in September 2018. Apparently some 2016 models have the same problem. I want to make sure the replacement hose the dealer ordered is a new type designed not to fail like the original equipment to avoid a potential disaster in the future while I'm driving the car.
I was driving on the highway. Pulled off highway into gas station and gassed up. When trying to start engine it made a heavy, thunking sound while trying to turn over. Got it towed to a garage where they said the engine dropped a valve and needed to be replaced. Then had it towed to another garage and got the same exact diagnosis - dropped a valve, cylinder destroyed, engine a total loss and needs to be replaced. The owner of the second garage said dropping a valve is a problem with the V8 2006 Charger.
After filling my Charger up with premium fuel, it immediately stalls without warning while I am driving, I lose the power steering and I am unable restart it right away. It happens every time I fill up, and I have paid over $500 dollars to the dealership to trouble shoot it, and they do not have a clue. Very dangerous feeling. Someone will be killed from this issue, it comes at varying times.
I bought a car Dodge Charger 2016 srt from saudi arabia alkhobar umc (united motors company) Dodge dealer show room I received the car on 23rd March 2016. All regular maintenance are done in umc center since then. - in April 2016: Heard strange sound from the front wheels: First time I gave the car umc service center and they changed the right wheel bearing heard same sound again from front wheels the second day: Second time I gave the car to umc service center and they changed the left wheel bearing in December 2016 after 37000 km I started seeing the following: 1- message in the dashboard "transmission temperature too high" 2- strange sound coming from the gearbox 3- strange sound and vibration coming from the engine third time: I gave the car to umc service center and it stayed for three days then they said nothing is wrong with the car, so I asked them to have an engineer to test it, the engineer drove the car and speed up to 200 km/hr and he heard strange sound from the car and acknowledged the car problem forth time: I gave the car to umc service center, they acknowledged the problems with gearbox and engine, and they kept the car now for almost one week. They informed me two days ago that they have to replace the gearbox and also they have to disassemble the engine and change the 16 hydraulic valves of the engine, due to my complaint they told me today that no gearbox repalcement will be done I am not accepting to buy top end car srt from Dodge then I have all of these problems in the car. The dealer in saudi is refusing to do the above and refusing to help or support by even raising it to usa head quarters so I took the following actions: 1- sent multiple emails to Dodge fca group management 2- contacted the usa customer service hot line to file a complaint 3- I filed a complaint in the saudi consumer product safety against umc
