“I filed a report about a year ago never got the vehicle fixed.I was just reading in the website found this recall 17v097000 about the front propeller for the drive shaft this is what happened to my Charger it blew out the front axles front diff. And tranfer case dealer will not repair and also canceled my remaing warranty”
NHTSA complaint #11230317, filed 2019-07, 45,000 miles“I have taken my car to a repair shop because of a sound the car made when driving, he said it is the driveline bearing. These are non-repairable so you need to have the entire drive shaft replaced. When calling for the part it is backordered everywhere because it seems to be a consistent problem and they are a lot of people having the same problem. If this is a design problem and they must know because it is backordered everywhere why is there not a recall to fix it.”
NHTSA complaint #11327434, filed 2020-06, 58,000 miles“I took my car to performance Dodge at 95 loop road, centerville, ohio 45459 on 8/30/19 to get my recalls fixed. I picked up my car after they told me repairs were completed. I have the receipt from this car dealership that says they performed these recalls (recall u60 and recall v01). I'm not able to upload my receipt but I can fax it over to you if you need to review. So I thought my recalls had been fixed but I kept receiving phone calls and letters that I still had recalls on my vehicle that needed fixed. …”
NHTSA complaint #11316704, filed 2020-03, 57,110 miles“I started a uconnect system update while I was still parked. The disclaimer said nothing about to not update while driving. I started the update and started driving (my commute is about 25 minutes). It took about 10-15 minutes to download the update. Once it downloaded, the system reset. At this time I was in cruise control on a freeway that was ending, so I turned off my cruise control and then my car jolted forwarded as if it were in a very low gear and almost caused me to crash. …”
NHTSA complaint #11084548, filed 2018-04, 56,922 miles“Upon arriving home after an 800 mile trip, (in the evening around 10:30 pm) when shifting into reverse to back into driveway, I experienced a complete ecu controller failure and everything went black. And engine died. After a few seconds it appears the computer rebooted itself and the dash came back up and the car restarted. It appears there is a real-time program bug in the car and the firmware needs to be investigated. Had this happened on the road, it would have cause a serious crash. I was then able to back into the driveway. No error code was posted! …”
