“I was driving normally about 20 MPH and I made a sharp turn and the engine shut off the power steering shut down there was a chime and the oil light turned on. I put the car in park and was able to start it up again. I hear and read that is a constant problem among consumers.”
NHTSA complaint #10762723, filed 2015-09, 28,564 miles“While driving on a 2 lane highway with traffic behind me, the car shuts down and I lose power while driving. The steering wheel locked up making it very difficult to turn. I pressed the gas repeatedly and nothing happened. Cars behind me were blowing but there wasn't much I could do. The car was slowing down anyway so I pressed the brake and they worked so I struggled like crazy to turn the steering wheel and was able to put the car into a church driveway. Thank god the brakes worked or it could've been ugly. I tried starting the car but it wouldn't do anything but act like it wanted to start. …”
NHTSA complaint #11287824, filed 2019-12, 200,000 miles“From the time we bought this car, it feels like the front end is going to come out from underneath it. At 65 MPH its shakes voilently. Replaced both outer tie rods. Replaced all 4 tires due to uneaven wear. Going back to the shop this week to see whats next to fix. For the longest time, I thought the dealership sold me a totalled car. But after reading all the complaints abought the 2010 Dodge chargers, looks like Dodge put out a piece of crap car for that year. I would not suggest anyone buying one of these, unless you have the money to feed the shop.”
NHTSA complaint #10607531, filed 2014-07, 32,000 miles“This december 2011, I have owned the car for two years. It has stalled in traffic three times while turning to the left and once while turning to the right. It felt like the vehicle had run out of gasoline, however there was plenty of gasoline. I have avoided three collisions, the last two because I was able to restart the vehicle quickly, due to experience. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer ( redlands Dodge california) however they say the computer has no record and of the problem and they can't recreate the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10432272, filed 2011-10, 1,250 miles“In 2011 I purchased this 2010 Dodge Charger from a dealer located in paramus nj. The vehicle was purchased as a certified used vehicle. After about 2 weeks of ownership, I began to notice a slight pull of the steering wheel in the vehicle to the right. I had to maintain constant left pressure on the wheel in order to keep the vehicle traveling straight. I then noticed that when I depressed the break at approximately 60 MPH the vehicle violently shook. I also noticed a noisy that was coming from the right front wheel area as if there was a part that was rubbing and would fall off. …”
