Example complaints

Engine: “07 r/t charger going home travelling 20 miles an hour on country road I hear a warning light go on. The temperature guage light is on and its past red. The engine light and throttle control valve also go on. I am about 1 mile from my house so I drive around 5 MPH to get to the house. 50 yards away the temperature needle goes all the way to cold. I started to think its electrical. I pull in my driveway and check fluids. All are fine. Husband takes his car and goes and buys a thermostat thinking thats it, it wasn't. We noticed antifreeze at that point leaking. …”

NHTSA complaint #10462493, filed 2012-06, 97,000 miles

Transmission and drivetrain: “Our car only has 32641 miles on it there was a recall on the gear shift pin or spring for our model between 2007 &2009 we can't get the car out of park and swope Dodge won't take care of and neither Dodge corp or mopar won't do anything about it because it s past warranty. So it sits in our garage where its been parked for a year useless its our vacation car and I'm now on social security and can't afford a huge repair bill .”

NHTSA complaint #11035309, filed 2017-10, 32,641 miles

Brakes: “2007 Dodge charger r/t awd, brake squealing and unacceptable rotor wear since 9000 miles on the vehicle. The dealership just tells me it's from the heat, and there is nothing that can be done. They resurfaced rotors at 20k miles and it went away for a month or so. It happens around 130 times per 140 mile commute. ( at least). I have been in situations where my brakes feel like they are not going to stop my vehicle at all. There is a serious defect in these brake systems, I know that I am definitely not the only one to complain.”

NHTSA complaint #10280136, filed 2009-08, 14,000 miles

Engine cooling: “My engine coolant has been leaking and caused my car to over heat since it wasnt noticed. No steam came out of the car to alert me that it was running hot while driving. My car just automatically shut down and would not crank back up. Once looking under the hood I saw there was no coolant and how it had been leaking around the valve. I replaced the coolant then went into have my car serviced every 3 mths as usual. The mechanic tells me that hes noticed several chargers with the same coolant leak in the valves. This sounds like a defect to me.”
