“My vehicle stopped accelerating while at an intersection red light 7-3-20. Managing to get it to a mechanic shop I was told my transmission is no good. My powertrain warranty expired in 1-2020. My car was inspected and diagnosis test were performed on it and never detected any problems with the transmission during 2019 over three different times because of my concerns about how my car was driving. Under the dealership possession they failed to identify the problems that existed within the transmission never making the appropriate repairs or replacing parts covered under warranty. …”

“I purchased my 2014 Dodge Challenger r/t 6 speed manual transmission on january 6th 2014. This was my dream car and I never thought I could afford one. So it saddens me to have to go to this extreme to get some involvement on a issue that is being ignored. My first service was on february 11th.I took the car in because of engine noise. The dealer replaced the catalytic converter thinking that was the noise. On may 31st at 5,000 miles the dealer replaced the lifters on the car. These did not solve the issue and it was getting louder. You can hear it inside the car while driving. …”

“I am wanting to complain about how long this part is taking to fix the recall p60 alternator problem. Chrysler known about this problem july last year, finally issued a recall end of november and states that there is no part to fix at current time. My Challenger is an everyday driver. I drive on interstates and hwys everyday. Knowing my car could stall at anytime without warning isn't a good feeling to have everyday. This could cause injuries or even worse fatalities on the interstates if this occurs. I think manufacturer has had plenty of time to get a part to fix the problem by now. …”

“The car has a whine which comes and goes as the car hits and maintains a cruising speed. Took to dealer several times and they have stated that it is a normal condition. Also car has a hesitation upon start from a stop and has ticking from the engine bay. Ticking was called normal by dealer. Am now working with Dodge directly to no avail to have issues resolved.”

NHTSA complaint #10640703, filed 2014-10, 400 miles

“On drive home from purchasing vehicle we noticed a loud clunking in the rear end while in stop and go traffic. Called dealership immediately. Sales manager said it was normal, they all do that. Took it in for service, tech test drove it and said it was not normal & seemed to be problem in the rear differential. When brought in for repairs they only updated computer system. Problem persisted with loud clunk and hard shifting at about 1500 RPM and slowing and engaging gas at lower speeds, typically between 30-40 MPH. …”
