2013 Dodge Challenger Owner Complaints

I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE CAR DEALER (DARCARS CHRYSLER JEEP OF ROCKVILLE, MD) THAT I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM ON 19 MARCH 2013. I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS RECALLED FOR A SAFETY ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS THE ENGINE STARTER POSITIVE TERMINAL ON MY VEHICLE COULD SHORT TO GROUND AND CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. AN ELECTRICAL FIRE COULD OCCUR AT ANY TIME REGARDLESS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING OR IS IN THE KEY OFF POSITION. AS OF 22 MARCH 2013, THERE IS NO FIX ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER. FURTHERMORE, THEY (THE DEALERSHIP) CAN NOT GIVE ME A DATE WHEN I WILL RECEIVE MY AUTOMOBILE BACK. *TR

WAS TRAVELLING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 55 TO 60 MPH, BEGAN TO GENTLY ACCELERATE TO PASS CAR GOING IN SAME DIRECTION ON FREEWAY. SUDDENLY THE ENGINE RPM INCREASED RAPIDLY, BUT CAR DID NOT SPEED UP, THEN SUDDENLY IT APPEARED TO SLAM INTO GEAR. PERSON TRAVELLING IN PASSENGER SEAT BEGAN TO LOOK ALL AROUND AS HE THOUGHT WE HAD BEEN HIT. AGAIN, THIS DOES NOT OCCUR WITH PEDAL TO THE FLOOR ACCELERATION, JUST NORMAL DRIVING. CAR HAS DONE THIS MANY TIMES BEFORE, IT SLAMS BACK INTO GEAR SO HARD IT STALLS THE ENGINE. ONCE IN A CURVE IT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT.. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER TWICE BEFORE BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE THE PROBLEM. ON LAST VISIT I TOOK TRANSMISSION GUY FROM DEALER WITH ME AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO DO A SLIGHT VERSION OF WHAT IT DOES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HE STATED THAT HE WANTED TO CHECK THE K2 VALVE. HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD 5 VEHICLES THAT HE HAD FOUND PROBLEMS WITH THE SEALS. CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE DEALER HAVING THIS CHECKED. *TT

4/15/2014

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY DIED. I FIGURED IT WAS DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR RECALL. AFTER GETTING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS WATER IN THE INTAKE AND I MUST HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH HIGH WATER. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN THROUGH HIGH WATER. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 2013 DODGE CHALLENGERS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. HOW CAN WATER GET INTO A MOTOR FOR NO REASON AND CAUSE IT TO DIE AS YOU ARE DRIVING? IF YOU DRIVE WHEN IT IS RAINING OR IF YOU HIT A PUDDLE ON THE BLACKTOP IT IS GOING TO CAUSE YOUR CAR TO JUST DIE? IF WASN'T RAINING WHEN IT HAPPENED TO MINE AND THERE WAS NO WATER ON THE ROAD BUT IT HAD RAINED EARLIER IN THE DAY MAYBE 4 HOURS PRIOR TO THE CAR DYING. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND BATTERY THAT I HAVE PURCHASED.TO HAVE THE ISSUE REPAIRED , THE SERVICE WILL COST ME OVER $700.00 TO REPLACE BOTH DOORS LATCH/SWITCH.

SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON FEBRUARY 2013, WE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL INDICATOR WOULD NEVER SHOW A FULL TANK OF GAS. IT WOULD STOP AT 3/4. HOWEVER, WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE ENGINE, ESPECIALLY AROUND A 1/2 OF A TANK, THE GAUGE WOULD REGISTER 1/4 TANK. ON 4/29/2013, MY SPOUSE NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WE DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THE ONBOARD COMPUTER SHOWED 68 MILES TO EMPTY AND WE NEEDED TO TRAVEL 30 MILES. AS SOON AS WE ENTERED THE FREEWAY, THE CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT START. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEALER REPLACED THE SENDING OR (ASCENDING) UNIT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 1275 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ON 1 MAY 2013 WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND MY WIFE DROVE IT HOME, I FOLLOWED IN A CHASE VEHICLE. THAT NIGHT SHE COMPLAINED OF HEADACHES(NOT NORMAL FOR MY SPOUSE). THE NEXT MORNING, 2 MAY 2013, I OPEN THE DOOR OF THE VEHICLE TO PLACE SAFETY SEATS AND WAS OVERCOME BY THE NOXIOUS FUEL FUMES. MY WIFE DECIDED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO WORK AND COULD NOT MAKE IT THERE DUE TO THE FUMES GETTING WORSE. SHE PULLED OVER AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEIR FIX WAS TO USE ODOR NEUTRALIZER WHICH NOW RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNSERVICEABLE. ONE CANNOT STAND THE SMELL. MY SPOUSE FEARS THEY CARE MAY COMBUST AT THE FIRST SIGN OF AN OPEN FLAME AND IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. DEALER WILL NOT ENTERTAIN ANY IDEAS OF CHECKING O-RING SEALS. *TR

5/6/2015

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREE WAY, I NOTICED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A MINUTE ISSUE. HOWEVER, MY CAR STARTED JERKING, DECLINING SPEED ,AND BECAME HESITATE TO CONTINUE MOTION AS IF THE POWER OF MY CAR WAS ABOUT TO STOP. AFTER TEN MINUTES THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR AT A REDUCING SPEED. HOWEVER, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE SYMPTOMS CONTINUED AGAIN. AT THIS TIME I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT MY CAR NEEDS TO BE ON THE RECALL AS THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. MY LIGHT IS STILL ON AS OF 3/6/2017.

I BOUGHT A 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER RT CLASSIC NEW IN MAY OF 2013 IN NAMPA, IDAHO. THE CAR CAME WITH 245/45ZR20 GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 SUPERCAR TIRES. LAST SUMMER, WE HAD ONE TIRE REPLACED DUE TO A NAIL IN THE SIDEWALL WITH THE SAME GOODYEAR TIRE (ALTHOUGH IT HAD A YEAR NEWER MANUFACTURED DATE CODE). THE OTHER 3 TIRES WERE STILL ORIGINAL. THE CAR IS NOW A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS OLD. THERE WERE ONLY 20K MILES ON THE CAR AND TIRES WHEN THIS TOOK PLACE. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR AND STORED INSIDE. THE TIRES HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PRESSURES LESS THAN 32 POUNDS OF AIR IN THEM (DUE TO SENSORS MONITORING THE TIRES). THE WEEKEND OF 7/11/15 WE STARTED OUT ON A TRIP FROM CALDWELL, ID TO KALISPELL, MT (WE WERE TAKING THE SCENIC ROUTE ON WINDY BACK ROADS). WE GOT 50 MILES INTO OUR TRIP BEFORE WE GOT A LOW AIR PRESSURE WARNING ON ONE OF THE TIRE SENSORS (THE RIGHT REAR). WE STOPPED AND HAD THE TIRES CHECKED. THEY FOUND ALL 4 TIRES AT VARIOUS STAGES HAD THE INNER SIDEWALLS COMING APART ON THE TIRES (EVEN THE NEWER ONE WITH 10K MILES ON IT). WE HAD ALL OF THE TIRES REPLACED. I HAVE THESE OLD DEFECTIVE TIRES IN MY GARAGE. I DID NOT PUT GOODYEAR TIRES BACK ON THE CAR DUE TO THEM NOT BEING AVAILABLE AT THE TIRE STORE. I HAVE WORKED ON CARS ALL MY LIFE. THESE TIRES WERE NEVER ABUSED AND THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I FEAR FOR OTHERS LIVES. IF THE SIDEWALL OF ONE OF THESE TIRES COMPLETELY BLEW OUT, THE CAR WOULD LIKELY BE UNCONTROLLABLE. I HAVE DONE SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET AND I AM NOT THE FIRST TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF TIRE. I REALLY FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. WHEN TRYING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH DODGE AND GOODYEAR, ALL THAT WAS OFFERED TO ME WAS A 'ROAD HAZARD' VOUCHER FOR $491 AND ONLY IF I PUT GOODYEAR TIRES BACK ON THE CAR. THEY WERE WELL AWARE I HAD ALREADY CHANGED THE TIRES AND DID NOT HAVE ANY INTEREST IN PUTTING UNSAFE GOODYEAR TIRES BACK ON MY CAR.

MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 7,000 MILES AND I'VE NOTICE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF SMALL CHIPS.
