Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car will not accelerate over 40mph. I went to the mechanics and it said that the transmission computer isn't functioning correctly. I looked up this issue online and this is an ongoing issue with these cars. I contacted Dodge they said since there is no recall then they can't do anything.”
NHTSA complaint #11061039, filed 2018-01, 100,000 miles“Gear shift stuck in park car in garage aaa towing came out towed car and repaired $312.16 other 2006 chargers on recall list for this same issue this one needs to be also it is a special edition model so only 2000 made of these it's obvious by recall list this is an issue, why should I have to pay just because my car is a special model.”
NHTSA complaint #10702959, filed 2015-03, 95,411 miles“After filling up my fuel tank up for the first time the car was hard to restart. Once the car started the she kept cutting out and even died twice. This happened while I was in traffic. Since that time every time I filled the tank I have the same issue. I have had to resort to only filling the car up to 3/4 tank to avoid this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10522461, filed 2013-06, 27,100 miles“I pulled out on a major road and the gas pedal assembly broke off of the mounting bracket. I was in a spot where I couldn't pull over safely so I had to reach down and try to operate the throttle by hand while driving. Upon closer inspection, the plastic part of the gas pedal that holds the gas pedal to the mounting bracket broke off. This vehicle is equipped with the pursuit or law enforcement package.”
NHTSA complaint #10456788, filed 2012-04, 124,000 miles“The car will stall within a minute or so of filling up the gas tank. This has happened about 95% of the time I filled up the tank. If I feel the stall coming on I can throw it in neutral and rev the engine for about 10 seconds and it won't stall anymore. I first began to notice it at least 8 months ago. I stopped filling the tank all the way just to avoid this because it caused me to stall while going thru an intersection and backing up traffic. I was told I needed to buy a new gas tank to rectify this issue.”
