2017 Dodge Charger Owner Complaints

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER STATES THE BODY CONTROL MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE. THE ORIGINAL MODULE #68354142 IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH REVISION AA AND REVISION AB BOTH ON BACKORDER. VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERS FOR 24 DAYS WAITING ON NEW MODULE. MODULE IS SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE AT DEALERS LOCATION 4/10/2017. THIS MODULE CONTROLS EVERYTHING INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND IS LINKED TO THE BATTERY. THIS MODULE CREATED A CONSTANT DRAIN OF POWER, MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO TAKE ANYWHERE. ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS UNTIL THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED.

MY 2017 DODGE CHARGER DAYTONA 392 (R/T SCAT PACK) HAS AN INHERENTLY DANGEROUS INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL FAILURE. WHILE TRAVELING 77MPH ON INTERSTATE 70 THE EVIC SCREEN INDICATED A FCW WARNING WITH THE SYSTEM TURNED OFF, LOSS OF THE ABS, ESP, SRS, THEN TOTAL LOSS OF ELECTRIC STEERING WITH NO THROTTLE OR BREAKING INPUT RESPONSE. SAID VEHICLE THEN VIOLENTLY DOWNSHIFTED FROM 8TH GEAR TO 3RD GEAR CAUSING THE REAR WHEELS TO BREAK TRACTION SUBSEQUENTLY RESULTING IN FULL LOSS OF LATERAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I FULLY DEPRESSED THE EMERGENCY BREAK AS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DRIFT TO THE LEFT RESULTING IN FLAT SPOTS ON BOTH REAR TIRES AS I SKIDDED TO A HAULT. I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WITH 4 LOCAL DEALERS IN KANSASCITY TO NO RESOLVE. AFTER THIS FAILURE OCCURS AND THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME THE GAGUE LIGHTNING FLASHES INTERMITTENTLY THEN FLASHING/CLEARING THE PCM WIPING EVERY CODE OUT. ONCE CAPTURED BY A SERVICE WRITER STATIONARY AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP USING THE OBD2 DATA RECORDER WERE 277 FAULTS ALL SIGHTING ELECTRICAL OVER VAULTS AND ELECTRICAL FAILURE OF THE TCM. FCA ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER WHO DID NOTHING. AFTER CONSISTENT CALLS TO FCA CORPERATE I WAS ASSIGNED A "STAR CASE" AND SAID CASE WAS GIVEN TO THE 91 TEAM WHO HAVE ALSO DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. THIS VEHICLE ISN'T JUST DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY AND MYSELF BUT OTHER MOTORISTS AS WELL SIGHTING TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL WHEN THIS EVENT OCCURS. I PURCHASED SAID VEHICLE MARCH 20, 2017 AND HAVE DEALT WITH THIS SINCE DAY 8 OF OWNERSHIP. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 8,522 MILES AND THERE'S NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT. I CAN'T EVEN GET LOCAL DEALERS TO CHANGE THE OIL UNDER THE MVP MAXCARE UNLIMITED WARRANTY.

THE UCONNECT INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IN FCA VEHICLES HAS A DEFECT THAT WILL CAUSE MULTIPLE WEATHER ALERTS FOR AREAS HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY. THE ERRANT WEATHER ALERTS TAKE OVER THE ENTIRE SCREEN AND REQUIRE THE DRIVER TO TAKE THEIR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO EXIT OUT OF THE ALERT. THE ALERT WILL NOT GO AWAY ON IT'S OWN, AND YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE RADIO OR HVAC SYSTEM WITHOUT READING AND EXITING OUT OF THE ALERT. ALSO, THE UCONNECT SYSTEM HAS NO OPTION TO DISABLE WEATHER ALERTS. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU CANNOT STOP THEM FROM HAPPENING IN THEIR CURRENT BUILD. I'VE CALLED DODGE AND UCONNECT MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THERE IS STILL NO RESOLUTION. ALL THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS UCONNECT NEEDS TO ADD THE OPTION IN THE SETTINGS TO TOGGLE WEATHER ALERTS ON OR OFF. IT SHOULD TAKE A PROGRAMMER AN HOUR TO ACCOMPLISH THIS SIMPLE TASK. JUST TODAY I GOT 4 WEATHER ALERTS FOR COUNTIES BETWEEN 140 AND 400 MILES AWAY FROM MY CURRENT LOCATION ON MY 5 MILE DRIVE, EACH ONE REQUIRING ME TO PHYSICALLY CLOSE THE SCREEN TO GET BACK TO THE NAVIGATION PAGE. FORCING DRIVERS TO READ AND INTERACT WITH MULTIPLE DEFECTIVE WEATHER ALERTS CAN BE AS DANGEROUS AS TEXTING AND DRIVING. WHEN I CALLED DODGE, THEY SAID THE ISSUE IS WITH UCONNECT. UCONNECT TOLD ME NOTHING CAN BE DONE. WHEN I MESSAGED DODGE, THEY TOLD ME SIRIUS XM IS TO BLAME FOR SENDING THE ALERTS. SO WE HAVE A 3 WAY FINGER POINTING CONTEST HERE THAT NOBODY WANT TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR. ALL I WANT IS FOR UCONNECT TO GIVE DRIVERS THE OPTION TO DISABLE WEATHER ALERTS TO KEEP THEIR ATTENTION ON THE ROAD.

10/26/2017

I GET REPEATED WEATHER ALERTS FROM U-CONNECT SCREEN SYSTEM. THE ALERTS COME FROM SERIUS SATELLITE TRAVEL LINK SYSTEM. THEY POP UP AND BLOCK WHATEVER IS DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN LIKE RADIO OR MAPS. THEY CONTINUE TO BLOCK THE SCREEN UNTIL THE DRIVER REACHES OVER TO TURN THEM OFF - DISTRACTING THEIR EYES AND HAND FROM DRIVING! NEITHER SERIUS OR DODGE ARE UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO TURN THEM OFF. DURING A RECENT WINTER STORM THIS WAS VERY HAZARDOUS BECAUSE MANY ROADS WERE CLOSED AND I COULDN'T FIND A WAY HOME BECAUSE THE ALERTS WERE SO FREQUENT THEY CONTINUOUSLY BLOCKED THE MAP APP - AS I WAS TRYING TO DRIVE HOME.

MY 2017 DODGE CHARGER IS EXPERIENCING "HARD SHIFTING" WHEN I GET IN THE VEHICLE AND START DRIVING IT. I JUST GOT IT BACK FROM THE DEALER YESTERDAY (THE SECOND TIME I DROPPED IT OFF) AND THEY SAY THEY EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM BUT BECAUSE THERE WERE NO CODES, THEY ARE REFERRING THE PROBLEM BACK TO DODGE. THEY APPLIED COMPUTER UPDATES TO THE PCM AND TCM ON THE FIRST TRIP AND THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 6,700 MILES ON IT.

NOISE FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AREA. WHEN GOING SPEEDS OF 65+ MPH THERE IS A HOWLING/WHINING NOISE THAT IS CONSTANT. WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS IT GOES AWAY. WHEN I GET BACK ON THE GAS IT COMES BACK. I HAVE HAD THE REAR DIFF REPLACED AND HAVE HAD IT IN MULTIPLE TIMES FOR DIAGNOSTICS/FLUID CHANGES WITH NO FIX IN SITE. FCA TOLD ME, TO BAD, THAT IS A NORMAL NOISE AND THERE IS NOTHING ELSE WE CAN DO TO FIX THE ISSUE. A BRAND NEW CAR WITH AN OLD CAR NOISE? UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE VIDEOS, REPAIR DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THE NOISE. *TT *TR

THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE FABRICATION IN ALL THE HOODS OF THE DODGE CHARGERS THAT CAUSES THE HOOD LATCH PIN TO CORRODE. MY CHARGER IS BRAND NEW AND HAS CORROSION ON THE HOOD. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. LET UNCHECKED, THIS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS IF THE HOOD CORRODES ENOUGH TO WHERE THE LATCH PIN BECOME DETACHED FROM THE HOOD WHILE DRIVING.

THE BULLETIN ON MOPAR WEBSITE IS IN REGARDS TO ELECTRICAL PANEL. NOT ONCE WAS THERE A RECALL. STARTING ON 1/23/19 MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON HIM AND HE COULDN'T MOVE THE VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON. WE TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP THEY SAID OH IT'S THE POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY MODULE BUT YOU'RE PAST MILEAGE FOR COVERAGE. SO I CALL MOPAR THEY GET ANOTHER DEALERSHIP ON THE LINE WE SET UP AN APPOINTMENT. TODAY 1/24/19 MY HUSBAND IS DRIVING TO CLASS IN MORNING TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF ALL CAPABILITY'S TO STEER BRAKE DO ANYTHING. THE VEHICLE LUCKILY CAME ON LONG ENOUGH TO MOVE TO SIDE OF ROAD THEN THE VEHICLE AGAIN SHUT OFF HE COULDN'T BRAKE VEHICLE JUST KEPT MOVING THEN EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED AND SHUT OFF ON IT'S OWN. HE WAS DRIVING ON DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY IN MORNING TRAFFIC AND TRAFFIC ISN'T LIGHT THE THOUGHT OF HIM BEING REAR ENDED AND SOMETHING MORE HAPPENING IS DISHEARTENING KNOWING THEY KNEW THEY HAD ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BUT DIDN'T DO A RECALL

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH LIGHT FOR SAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT USABLE AT NIGHT WITHOUT OPERATING THE HIGH BEAMS. A STATE POLICE OFFICER CHECKED THE LIGHTS AND COMMENTED THEY WERE THE WORST HE HAS SEEN. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED!

5/2/2017

THIS CAR DEFINITELY HAS A WIRING ISSUE. SOMETIMES THE CAR WON'T START. IT IS NOT THE BATTERY & IT IS NOT THE STARTER. OCCASIONALLY THE RADIO WON'T WORK. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, IT LOSES ALL POWER. SOMETIMES THE HEADLIGHTS JUST GO OUT. NOBODY CAN SEEM TO FIND THE ISSUE.

10/27/2020

SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE I NOTICED A STRONG FUEL SMELL OUTSIDE AND INSIDE MY CAR AND WHEN THE AIR WAS ON THE SMELL WAS COMING THROUGH THE AIR VENTS. I BROUGHT IT IN THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SMELLED THE GAS OUTSIDE THE CAR. THEY PULLED UP MY BACKSEATS AND THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF GAS THAT LEAKED FROM THE FUEL PUMP. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND A FEW DAYS AFTER GETTING MY CAR BACK WHEN I FILLED UP MY TANK AGAIN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND THIS TIME IT WAS LEAKING GAS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR. AFTER THAT 2ND REPAIR I GOT MY CAR BACK AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER AFTER I FILLED UP MY TANK AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE 3RD TIME THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE GAS TANK. THE CAR STILL HAS A STRONG GAS SMELL THAT CAUSES ME TO HAVE HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, AND NAUSEA. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR BECAUSE LATELY SINCE I'VE BEEN HAVING THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR LEAKING GAS I'VE BEEN GETTING ALOT OF STATIC SHOCK WHEN I TOUCH MY CAR.

11/17/2017

RECENTLY I'VE BEEN HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE WITH IT TURNING ON AND OFF WHEN I FIRST GO TO START IT UP. NOW I AM HAVING A BIGGER ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR DECIDED TO TURN OFF ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY I AM FULLY AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME WHILE DRIVING. I'VE TAKEN IT TO DODGE AND THEY SEEM TO NOT CAR OR EVEN TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG BECAUSE I CAN NOT REENACT THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE VIDEO OF IT NOT STARTING UP IN THE BEGINNING. SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CODES THAT COME UP, WHICH OF COURSE MAKES IT EASIER ON THEM TO JUST PUSH THE CUSTOMER AWAY. NOW IN MY OPINION I FEEL LIKE THIS CAN BE A LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION IF SOMEONE LIKE MY MOTHER OR MY GRANDMA OWN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOW KNOW HOW TO CONTROL SUCH A HEAVY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE DODGE SHOULD LOOK DEEPER INTO THIS PROBLEM CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF FORUMS ONLINE SUGGESTING A PROBLEM.

2/5/2019

THIS CAR IS POSSESSED. IT WILL SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND COME TO A STOP. THERE WILL BE NOTHING IN FRONT OF YOU AND THE CAR WILL SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND STOP. IT HAS DONE IT AT SLOW SPEEDS AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR THE DEALER TO LOOK AT IT BUT THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. THIS CAR IS GOING TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

I WAS ABOUT TWO CAR LENGTHS BEHIND AN 18 WHEELER ON HWY 231 SOUTH BOUND IN MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA. I WENT TO GET OVER TO THE LEFT TO PASS, WHEN MY VEHICLE STARTED TO HYDROPLANE AND SWAY SIDE TO SIDE. MY FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE IMPACTED THE BACK RIGHT CORNER OF THE 18 WHEELER. MY VEHICLE THEN FLIPPED ON ITS SIDE, THEN UPSIDE DOWN. MY SIDE AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY, BUT MY STEERING WHEEL NOR FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE 18 WHEELER DID NOT STOP, MAYBE IT DID NOT FEEL THE IMPACT. IT WAS A WET AND STORMY MORNING ON 2/24/20, @ APPROXIMATELY 5:25-5:27 A.M.. THE REASON THAT I DID NOT PASS THE 18 WHEELER EARLIER WAS DUE TO STANDING WATER IN THE LEFT LANE. I WAS TAKEN TO BAPTIST SOUTH MEDICAL VENTER BY MY MOTHER IN LAW, IN WHICH I HAD A CT DONE ON MY NECK, AND AN X-RAY ON MY LEFT SHOULDER. I ALSO MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR WEDNESDAY 2/26/20 FOR PAIN AND SPASMS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE VEHICLE'S IMPACT WAS IN THE FRONT, AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN THE FRONT. I WOULD LIKE THERE TO BE AN INVESTIGATION AS TO WHETHER THEY SHOULD'VE DEPLOYED, AND IF WHY DIDN'T THEY IN SUCH AN SEVERE ACCIDENT.*DT *TR*DT*JB

The fuse box and screen inside car is going haywire causing the headlight to go out while driving, causing the screen to blink on and off while driving constantly dialing 911, not letting you use your navigation or being able to use the back up camera. I almost got into a wreck with my newborn due to this issue!!! You can’t even use some of the safety features due to this issue. When driving at night the screen going on and off , dim to bright causes trouble seeing at night..you can’t turn the screen off because it’ll just turn right back on. I’ve seen your company has gotten multiple reports on this but no recall has been made. If we get hurt or someone else does you are aware that it can be a legal issue correct??

I WAS ABOUT TWO CAR LENGTHS BEHIND AN 18 WHEELER ON HWY 231 SOUTH BOUND IN MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA. I WENT TO GET OVER TO THE LEFT TO PASS, WHEN MY VEHICLE STARTED TO HYDROPLANE AND SWAY SIDE TO SIDE. MY FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE IMPACTED THE BACK RIGHT CORNER OF THE 18 WHEELER. MY VEHICLE THEN FLIPPED ON ITS SIDE, THEN UPSIDE DOWN. MY SIDE AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY, BUT MY STEERING WHEEL NOR FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE 18 WHEELER DID NOT STOP, MAYBE IT DID NOT FEEL THE IMPACT. IT WAS A WET AND STORMY MORNING ON 2/24/20, @ APPROXIMATELY 5:25-5:27 A.M.. THE REASON THAT I DID NOT PASS THE 18 WHEELER EARLIER WAS DUE TO STANDING WATER IN THE LEFT LANE. I WAS TAKEN TO BAPTIST SOUTH MEDICAL VENTER BY MY MOTHER IN LAW, IN WHICH I HAD A CT DONE ON MY NECK, AND AN X-RAY ON MY LEFT SHOULDER. I ALSO MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR WEDNESDAY 2/26/20 FOR PAIN AND SPASMS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE VEHICLE'S IMPACT WAS IN THE FRONT, AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN THE FRONT. I WOULD LIKE THERE TO BE AN INVESTIGATION AS TO WHETHER THEY SHOULD'VE DEPLOYED, AND IF WHY DIDN'T THEY IN SUCH AN SEVERE ACCIDENT.*DT *TR*DT*JB

I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2017, A MONTH AGO I NOTICED WHAT LOOKED LIKE A WATERMARK IN THE SCREEN OF MY RADIO, IT IS STRETCHING ACROSS THE SCREEN. I USE THIS TO MAKE PHONE CALLS SINCE WE ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO USE OUR CELL PHONES. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID THAT THE 2017 DODGE CHARGER HAS BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE AND THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND SINCE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE DEFECT THEY SHOULD FIX IT AT NO CHARGE. THEY CAN'T JUST REPLACE THE SCREEN THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE RADIO AND IT IS ALMOST 2,000$. WHEN I CALLED THE DODGE REPAIR SHOP WHERE I LIVE THEY SAID THEY WOULD REACH OUT TO DODGE SINCE THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND SEE IF THEY WOULD FIX IT. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE UCONNECT 8.4 INCH SCREEN USED IN A WIDE VARIETY OF DODGE VEHICLES IS HAVING WIDESPREAD PROBLEMS WITH DELAMINATION. MY VEHICLE HAS RECENTLY SEEN BEHAVIOR MOVE FROM COSMETIC TO DANGEROUS FUNCTIONAL BEHAVIOR CHANGES. THE DELAMINATION EVENTUALLY WILL CAUSE "GHOST" OR "PHANTOM" TOUCHES ON THE SCREEN THAT OCCUR WITHOUT ANY ACTUAL USER INPUT. THIS SCREEN CAN ADJUST DRIVE MODES AND SETTINGS THAT IMPACT VEHICLE HANDLING AND POWER DELIVERY. AT WORST, THE CHANGE IN VEHICLE SETTINGS VIA GHOST TOUCHES ON THIS SCREEN COULD CAUSE UNEXPECTED CHANGES IN HANDLING DYNAMICS AND POWER DELIVERY WHICH MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AT SPEED. THIS SCREEN IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTROL OF RADIO AND CLIMATE, WHICH IS LIKELY TO CAUSE DISTRACTED DRIVING AS THE DRIVER ATTEMPTS TO NEGATE OR RECTIFY THE FREQUENT CHANGES BEING MADE WITHOUT THEIR INPUT. THE DEGRADATION OF THE SCREEN SEEMS TO BE A ADHESIVE MATERIAL DEFECT WHICH COULD DRIP ONTO FURTHER ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS BEHIND THE DASH, CAUSING A SHORT OR FURTHER MISBEHAVIOR OF IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS.
