THIS IS THE SECOND 2018 CHARGER 392 IVE HAD. THE ISSUE IS THE UCONNECT SYSTEM WILL ATTEMPT TO CONNECT TO MY PHONE WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN FULLY TURNED OFF. IF IT CONNECTS SUCCESFULLY THE RADIO WILL START UP BY ITSELF AND DRAIN MY CARS BATTERY. ON MY ORIGINAL 2018 CHARGER IT KILLED THE BATTERY COMPLETELY. ON THIS NEW ONE I KEEP CORRECTING THE ISSUE BY DISCONNECTING MY PHONE GOING BACK TO THE CAR AND CYCLING THE POWER TO RETURN IT OFF. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY.

2018 DODGE CHARGER WITH 8.4 U-CONNECT RADIO SYSTEM WITH SIRIUS RADIO OPTION. SIRIUS HAS WEATHER/TRAFFIC UPDATES WHICH CONTINUALLY POP UP ON SCREEN. I'VE DOCUMENTED POP-UPS NUMEROUS TIMES ON SHORT TRIPS. I'VE CREATED A LOG SHOWING AS MANY AS THREE IN A 20 MINUTE DRIVE.ADDITIONALLY, THE WARNING REPORTS ARE FOR AREAS OUTSIDE MY ZIP CODE (THEY ARE FOR ANOTHER STATE). A DRIVER HAVE TO TAKE THEIR EYES OFF THE ROADWAY AND LOOK AT THE RADIO DISPLAY TO CANCEL THE ALERT. SIRIUS AND DODGE ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO PATCH TO CURE THE ISSUE OR CANCEL AND TURN OFF THE ALERTS. I JUST SPOKE TO A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT SIRIUS AND THEY WARE AWARE OF MANY COMPLAINTS. DODGE HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS SITUATION. THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT LISTED ON DODGE FORUMS. I AM A TRAFFIC SCHOOL AND DUI INSTRUCTOR FOR THE CITY OF LAS VEGAS. I CAN TELL YOU THIS IS A SERIOUS DISTRACTION THAT CAN CAUSE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS BY DRIVERS DIVERTING THEIR ATTENTION FROM DRIVING TO CANCELLING THE POP UP NOTICES.

1/7/2018

AT AROUND 400-600 MILES THE CAR STARTED HAVING ISSUES. EVERY TIME I PRESS THE BRAKES YOU CAN HEAR A NOISE AS IF THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN WEARING OUT, ALSO WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT THERE IS A TICKING CLICKING NOISE.

6/1/2018

THIS IS A RENTAL AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 6. IN THE AFTERNOON OF DAY 6, I WENT TO GET INTO THE CAR AND THE DOOR HANDLE MADE A FUNNY CLICKING SOUND AND WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR. IT IS ATTACHED BUT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS UNHOOKED INSIDE THE DOOR BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO LIFT UP HIGHER THAN IT SHOULD. DOOR OPENS FROM THE INSIDE WITH NO PROBLEM.

5/15/2018

WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY DOING ABOUT 65 MPH, THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED UPWARD, AS IF IT WAS HIT FROM THE INSIDE, SENDING GLASS FLYING DOWN THE BACK OF THE CAR HITTING OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME. THANKFULLY THE INTERNAL SUNROOF COVER WAS CLOSED SO GLASS DIDN'T RAIN DOWN ON US WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND CLEAN UP AS MUCH OF THE GLASS AS POSSIBLE SO IT WOULDN'T CONTINUE FLYING OFF AND HITTING VEHICLES BEHIND ME. DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN, EVEN THOUGH IT'S TEMPERED GLASS, IT'S STILL SHARP. IF THE INTERNAL SUNROOF COVER WAS SLID OPEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE THAN THE FEW CUTS I GOT ON MY HANDS FROM CLEANING UP THE GLASS.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, MY BRAND NEW 2018 DODGE CHARGER HAS SUSPENSION RUSTING ISSUES. PRETTY UPSET HOW A BRAND NEW CAR CAN HAVE THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. IT HAS BEEN MY DREAM CAR TO OWN SUCH VEHICLE AND TO SEE THIS ISSUE MAKES ME THINK TWICE ABOUT DODGE. IT ONLY HAD 1,200 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE WHEN THE ISSUE WAS NOTICED.

4/30/2018

FRONT SUSPENSION HAS EXCESSIVE RUST. RUST IS EATING OUT THE MATERIAL, CAN POSSIBLY BREAK AND CAUSE AND ACCIDENT. DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE PART.

5/3/2018

MY DAUGHTER COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO STOP, AS SHE WAS ENGAGING THE BREAK TO THE FLOOR. SHE IS UNSURE IF WHEN SHE TURNED CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET, BUT EITHER WAY THE BRAKE SHOULD HAVE TURNED IT OFF. THEN WHEN THE POLE WAS HIT, ALL THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF EXCEPT THE PASSENGER LOWER AIRBAG. I WAS THE PASSENGER AND I HAVE A HURT ANKLE, KNEE, AND HIP. WHY WOULD ALL AIRBAGS GO OFF EXCEPT ONE IF THE IMPACT WAS DIRECTLY IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR? THE VEHICLE WAS TURNING WHEN SHE NOTICED IT WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN.

12/11/2019

I WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE VEHICLE CAR ACCIDENT. I WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON HWY 80 IN TRUCKEE, CA IN RAIN/SNOW WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE CAR BEGAN TO SLIDE AND TURNED SIDEWAYS GOING DOWN AN INCLINE. THE FRONT OF MY CAR HIT A GUARD RAIL ALMOST HEAD ON AT 60+ MPH. THE HIT THEN CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO ROLL THREE TIMES. THE PICTURES I HAVE PROVIDED SHOW HOW THE VEHICLE LANDED AND THE DAMAGE. THE PICTURES ALSO SHOW THAT THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG AND THE AIRBAG UNDERNEATH THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT DEPLOY.

3/9/2020

THE DODGE CHARGER 2018 SXT BACK TAILLIGHT GOING IN AND OUT AND HAS A SHORT IN WIRE HARNESS AND ACTING LIKE ITS NOT GETTING ANY POWER TO IT. ITS GOES IN AND OUT EVERY OTHER DAY. I HAVE REPLACE THE WHOLE LIGHT. ITS COST ME $400 TO REPLACE. I BARLEY HAD THIS VECHILE FOR A YEAR. UNDER 50K MILES.

1/29/2020

Engine: Timing chain, valve rocker arms and valve lifters. All in sequence once the rocker arms went out with the lifters which is a common problem with dodge 3.6L PenStar engine it made my timing chain go off timing causing my engine to shut off while driving. Lighting: When vehicle was purchased i noticed condensation in both head lights got 1 replaced per warranty, they would not do both at same time and within 1 month moisture was in replaced headlight again. Dodge would not replace headlights even though the malfunction was not due to any wear and tear of mine. This is extremely unsafe for drivers if both headlights go out due to extreme amounts of condensation/moisture.

9/24/2023

TODAY WHEN GETTING IN MY CAR MY POWER STEERING SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO BE SERVICED FOR A U60 14-18MY LA/LX/LD CAN BUS AS PE RECALL (REPROGRAM). I TOLD THEM ABOUT MY CONCERN WITH MY POWER STEERING. WHEN I WEN TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THE UNIT HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT CAUSED MY POWER STEERING TO GO OUT. BUT IT HAS BEEN AN EXTREME HASSLE FOR MY TO TURN MY VEHICLE.

10/8/2019

THE VEHICLE SCREEN WILL FREEZE AND BE STUCK. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I START THE CAR UP ALSO AS I'M DRIVING. ALSO I BELIEVE WHATEVER HAPPENING IT AFFECTING MY HEADLIGHTS AS WELL AND MY BACK UP CAMERA GOES OUT AS WELL

1/3/2021

WHILE STOPPING INTO A GAS STATION FUELING UP MY CAR AND SETTING HOUSE IN AUTOMATIC STOP WHEN FUEL TURN THE CAR ON TO START HEADING HOME BEFORE ARRIVING TO MY HOME CAR STARTING TURNING OFF ON ME MADE IT TO MY DRIVE WAY AND THEN STARTED POURING FUEL FROM THE REAR PASSENGER RIGHT SIDE BY THE TIRE

4/13/2021

I viewed the recalls and it’s still having the same issues like it’s never been fixed, first off when I start the car it has a foul gas odor and the dealership said it was okay but I’m more than positive it’s an exhaust leak, also when I first got the car the heated seats wouldn’t turn off because of the radio malfunction I’ve actually took it to where I bought the car(John Gibson Autosales) to get it fixed but all they did was inserted a new radio screen for me and it made my problems even worse I asked them to fix it and they said I’d have to pay for any other work they did in the car.. It’s having multiple electrical issues and in my opinion I don’t believe the car is safe to drive at all with the heated seats turning on by themselves and having no control over it.

3/15/2022

PURCHASED THE CAR ON 12/23, ON 1/20/18 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING, SHE PULLED BACK ON THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER TO ACTIVATE THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER BROKE OFF IN HER HAND. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER CORPORATE AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS WOULDN'T BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT HAVING THE BROKEN PART REPLACED, I WAS TOLD THIS IS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER. I CALLED DODGEPARTSONLINE.NET TO SEE ABOUT PURCHASING THIS PART AND THEY SAID THAT THEY ARE SHOWING 26 BACK ORDERS FOR THIS PART. WHEN PERFORMING A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR THIS SAME INCIDENT, THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPORTED OCCURRENCES OF THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER BREAKING OFF. TO REBUT CHRYSLER'S RESPONSE, IF THIS PART ISN'T DEFECTIVE THEN WHY IS THERE A NATIONAL BACK ORDER WITH CHRYSLER FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART AND OTHER OWNERS REPORTING A SIMILAR INCIDENT WITH THE LEVER BREAKING OFF. I HAD TO UTILIZE AN EPOXY RESIN TO GLUE THE BROKEN PIECE BACK ONTO THE SHAFT SO I CAN OPERATE THE TURN SIGNALS BUT MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE INOPERATIVE DUE TO THE RIBBON WIRE THAT CONTROLS THE WIPERS BROKE.

2/1/2018

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND OUT OF NO WHERE MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. I WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE NOTHING HIT ME. THANK GOD MY SUNROOF SHADE WAS PULLED FORWARD OR ELSE GLASS WOULD'VE BEEN COMING AT MY INFANT DAUGHTER AND MYSELF AT 70 MPH. I CALLED MY INSURANCE AND EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS A FREAK EVENT THAT HAPPENED, I HAD TO PAY $500 TO GET IT FIXED. I WAS READING THAT THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME A SUNROOF FROM MY MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR HAS EXPLODED.

7/16/2019

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE CONTROL ARM HAD BROKE ON ME CAUSING ME TO RUN INTO THE WALL ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS JUST SENDING THIS TO DOCUMENT THE INCIDENT. THANK YOU.

7/26/2018

MY DODGE CHARGER SHAKES WHEN I PUSH THE BRAKES ON A DOWN HILL OR WHEN DRIVING IN SPEED . THERE IS NO AVS LIGHT SYSTEM ON . THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND SO HAVE THE ROUTERS . HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO SEVERAL MECHANICAL SHOPS AND EVERYONE SAYS THERE IS NO ISSUE YET MY CAR SHAKES WHEN BRAKED DOWN HILL OR IN FAST SPEED. THIS IS DANGEROUS

3/21/2021

WHEN AT A STOP WHEN GOING TO ACCELERATE TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION THE CAR GOES BUT SUDDENLY FEELS AS IF IT LOOSES POWER REALLY QUICK AND SLOWS DOWN AS IF MY FOOT IS NOT ON THE GAS AND THEN THERE'S A HARD KICK (OR JERK) THAT THE CAR DOES AND IT REVS UP AS IF IT DIDN'T SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN AND IT GOES. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND WHILE TRYING TO GAIN SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY.

5/1/2019

MY DAUGHTER COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO STOP, AS SHE WAS ENGAGING THE BREAK TO THE FLOOR. SHE IS UNSURE IF WHEN SHE TURNED CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET, BUT EITHER WAY THE BRAKE SHOULD HAVE TURNED IT OFF. THEN WHEN THE POLE WAS HIT, ALL THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF EXCEPT THE PASSENGER LOWER AIRBAG. I WAS THE PASSENGER AND I HAVE A HURT ANKLE, KNEE, AND HIP. WHY WOULD ALL AIRBAGS GO OFF EXCEPT ONE IF THE IMPACT WAS DIRECTLY IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR? THE VEHICLE WAS TURNING WHEN SHE NOTICED IT WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN.

12/11/2019

THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN A MONTH. VEHICLE IS PARKED. ONE HEAD LIGHT OUT, DEPENDING WHICH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OVER BUT ALL ELECTRICAL COMES ON AND STAYS ON. DASH BOARD MESSAGES INCLUDE: "SERVICE TRANSMISSION CONTINUE IN D. DO NOT SHIFT OR TURN ENGINE OFF", 'UNTIL YOU REACH A DESIRED LOCATION YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT AGAIN UNTIL SERVICED','SERVICE STABILITRACK' OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES, AND "KEY FOB NOT FOUND" EVEN THOUGH KEY FOB IS IN CAR. SHIFTER CONTINUOUSLY BLINKS AND A CONSTANT DINGING AS IF A KEY WAS LEFT IN AN IGNITION. YOU CANNOT MOVE SHIFTER OUT OF PARK. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS STAY ON AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF. CAR HAS ACTED LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO START BUT ENDS UP TURNING OVER SLOWLY, A FEW TIMES BEFORE THESE PROBLEMS STARTED. THIS ISSUE STARTED AT AROUND 5250 MILES (BUT RESTARTED AFTER 15 MINS), THEN AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER AT 5300 MILES (GOT IT TO RESTART AFTER AT LEAST 30 MINS) TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP AND THAT'S WHEN DODGE REPLACED THE SHIFTER AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR A WEEK. AGAIN THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED AT 5857 MILES. MOVED CAR OUT OF GARAGE, NOTICED ONE HEAD LIGHT OUT, AND I KNEW I HAD TO TRY AND RESTART IT FROM PREVIOUS ISSUES. SURE ENOUGH, IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER BUT ALL ELECTRICAL CAME ON AND STAYED ON. HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP WITH MALFUNCTIONING ELECTRICAL STILL ON. BATTERY HAD DIED BY THE TIME THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE TEAM LOOKED AT IT.

The contact owns a 2018 Dodge Charger. The contact stated while operating the vehicle the touch screen display had delaminated and dethatched causing the back-up camera to become inoperable. The cause of the failure was not yet determined, and the vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer was contacted regarding the failure and the owner was informed that the display screen needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 47,000.

7/21/2021

The contact's wife leased a 2018 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while driving at 60-62 MPH, she heard abnormal clinking sounds and the vehicle lost suspension and inadvertently turned to the right. The contact stated that as she quickly steered the steering wheel to the left, the vehicle spun out three times. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road and exited the vehicle to determine the cause of the failure. The contact noticed that the passenger’s side front tire had detached, and the passenger’s side rear tire was damaged. The contact also noticed a burning odor. The vehicle was towed the independent mechanic who diagnosed that the driveshaft bolt had fractured causing the control arm to go into the rotors. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V281000 (Power Train). The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

The screen cover separates from the touch screen on the radio. This makes the radio not function but more importantly other vehicle operational features are inaccessible. Apparently the screen feels random touches so even when I power it down it turns itself back on constantly beeping changinging stations, adjusting the heating/cooling controls, the clock etc. This is very distracting to a driver and I did nothing unusual to this device. I contacted the dealership and just the screen alone is over $1000. Before I pay this I wonder if anyone else has had similar issues or if its been previously addressed.

The Uconnect system in my vehicle has been delaminating and has been causing several issues in my vehicle where the Blindspot detectors are not working properly and the back up camera is not working properly to notify me and alert me with whistles and chimes if a vehicle is driving behind me while I’m backing up or if a pedestrian is on my Blindspot crossing near my car. The Uconnect system in my vehicle is also causing issues where it is ghost touching and glitching my screen and clicking buttons I’m not clicking. Example trying to change the clock when I’m not clicking anything and when navigation is in, use the system clicks out of maps and starts clicking FM radio. It starts to change stations and put people on hold when I’m on voice connect over the vehicle. It will put someone on mute by itself mostly the fact that the camera is not functioning due to the Uconnect being connected with the vehicle and causing it to malfunction. I’m worried it will start to click on other settings in the vehicle. There are many reports with Dodge Jeep, Chrysler, and ram on all forums about this issue. I’ve notified the Dodge dealership and Uconnect and all the want to do is have me pay out of pocket for a new system that is $2000 not including labor . The uconnect system should be recalled from all vehicles from 2018-2023 .
