“While driving the battery saver mode warning illuminated. Within seconds the car made a loud boom sound and I could not put it into park. I had to apply the emergency brake and keep trying to get the car into gear. As I was doing that the car was flashing to blank screen and then suddenly the car turned off. I had the car towed to the dealership to see what is wrong.”

“On august 18, 2017, I started my 2013 Dodge Charger and discovered that the uconnet system was no longer working. My hands free system could no longer be connected. After contacting uconnect, it was determined that the bluetooth module had stopped working. This is a problem when you are constantly in your vehicle for work purposes and depend on the hands free driving.”

“My Dodge Charger rt 2013 vehicle randomly reports that your need to push down the clutch in order to start the vehicle. It also will randomly cut off on you while driving the vehicle which is extremely dangerous. I have taken the vehicle to different dealerships and for the all tell me that I can do anything since we cant replicate the issue. I don't understand the why the vehicle will report anything about an clutch since it is an automatic.”

“This started with a burning smell and radio not working. I tried to get car into Dodge dealer in tallahassee but due to hurricane they were backed up. I drove car home from work and in seconds a terrible smell and black smoke filled up the car and out from hood into car. I had aaa and emergency service, car was towed to tallahassee car care center. I am just past my warranty with mopar Dodge but this is not typical and should not happen with only 22k miles. This was dangerous and scary and could have caused a crash on the road.”
