“My Dodge Charger r/t has had repeated sunroof leaks, the headliner looks awful and the sunroof was replaced a month ago and I'm still having problems, but now its on the other side of the vehicle. I'm tired of paying monthly for a vehicle to be put in the shop for a week at a time to fix a problem that is still a problem. I want Dodge to buy this vehicle back and they can make the payments.”
NHTSA complaint #10513737, filed 2013-05, 18,000 miles“My 2010 Dodge Charger caught fire and exploded. I was sitting in it with the air conditioner running, waiting for my son.

I opened the door and rolled out because my seat was reclined. I could see fire under the hood, I reached back in and turned the engine off thinking maybe it would help. …”
