I HAVE A HARD TIME STEERING MY CAR. I HAVE THE ELECTRICAL HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING ON MY CAR. THE OWNER MANUAL DOES NOT MATCH THE CAR. I HAVE AFTER MARKET WHEELS ON MY CAR AND THEY HAVE BEEN ON THERE FOR OVER TWO YEARS NOW. NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL NOW. THE DEALERSHIP SAY ITS MY AFTER MARKET RIMS BUT A LOT OF DODGE HAVE AFTER MARKET RIMS AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS AND HAVE A LOT MORE MILES ON THERE CAR THAN I HAVE ON MINES. I THINK ITS A ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING AND DODGE WILL NOT TAKE OWNER SHIP OF IT. *TR

SKIP SHIFT. THIS FEATURE IS ALREADY THE CAUSE OF SEVERAL NEAR MISSES OF ME BEING REAR-ENDED BECAUSE FROM A STOP, I AM UNEXPECTEDLY PREVENTED FROM SHIFTING FROM FIRST INTO 2ND GEAR TO MAINTAIN EXPECTED ACCELERATION IN TRAFFIC. I REALIZE WHAT THE SKIP SHIFT IS INTENDED FOR BUT IN THE REAL WORLD OF TRAFFIC, THE SKIP SHIFT FEATURE IS INHERENTLY DANGEROUS AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN EVER ANYONE IS BEHIND ME AT A STOP OR AT A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, WHEN ITS TIME TO GO, THE SKIP SHIFT FEATURE PUTS ME AT RISK OF BEING REAR ENDED EVERY TIME IT ENGAGES. THERE IS A DISPLAY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN SKIP SHIFT IS ENGAGED BUT TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO REFOCUS AND LOOK FOR THIS DISPLAY WHILE AT THE SAME TIME DRIVING IN TRAFFIC IS AS DANGEROUS AS THE SKIP SHIFT FEATURE ITSELF. ADDITIONALLY, AS A RESULT OF BEING FORCED TO SHIFT FROM FIRST TO FORTH IS DAMAGING TO THE CLUTCH, TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. THE ENGINE KNOCKS AND PINGS TERRIBLY IF I TRY TO ACCELERATE IN FORTH GEAR AT SUCH A LOW SPEED. OFTEN TIMES I AM FRANTICALLY DOUBLE CLUTCHING TRYING TO OVERRIDE THE FEATURE BY TRYING TO YANK AND JAM THE TRANSMISSION INTO SECOND GEAR ALL THE WHILE DECELERATING WITH FOLLOWING TRAFFIC HONKING OR YELLING VERBAL ABUSE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A WAY TO DISABLE THE SKIP SHIFT FEATURE ON THESE 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. *TR

LEFT CYLINDER HEAD WAS REPLACED UNDER MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY AT 144,XXX OCT 18 2018. CYLINDER HEAD WAS REPLACED AGAIN UNDER THE SAME WARRANTY AT 160XXX SEPTEMBER 2020. AFTER REPAIR DEALER STATED THAT THE RIGHT HEAD HAD A LEAK AND NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED. CHRYSLER AUTHORIZES 9 HOURS OF SERVICE LABOR FOR DIAGNOSIS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY X56 . THE WARRANTY ALSO AUTHORIZES REPLACEMENT OF THE RIGHT HEAD COVER AND GASKET IF REQUIRED. WHEN I BROUGHT UP THIS FINE PRINT TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COVER ANYTHING ELSE. IT TOOK CALLING FOR OVER A MONTH STRAIGHT FOR THEM TO FINALLY AUTHORIZE THE WARRANTY WORK BASED ON THE UPDATED 2014 BULLETIN THAT ADDED THE RIGHT SIDE TO THE WARRANTY.I WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET 2000$ TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY THEY TOLD ME IT WASNT. I AGREED TO PAY AND THEY REFUSED TO TAKE THE CAR IN. I ASKED THEM TO PUT IT IN WRITING THAT THEY WOULDN'T COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY AND I WAS TOLD I WAS NOT WELCOME THERE. I AM A DISABLED ARMY VETERAN AND I USE DRIVING AS MY THERAPY. MY CAR HAS BEEN NON OP FOR OVER A MONTH NOW. NOW THAT CHRYSLER HAS VERIFIED EVERYTHING I HAVE SAID THE WHOLE TIME IT'S TOO LATE BECAUSE NOW THE DEALERSHIPS AROUND TOWN WONT TOUCH THE CAR BASED ON THE BELIEF CHRYSLER WONT COVER IT. CHRYSLER SAID TO ME TONS OF TIMES THAT I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT TOOK THEM FINDING THE UPDATED BULLETIN. I DONT BLAME THE DEALERSHIPS I BLAME CHRYSLER. HOW CAN YOU REPLACE ONE HEAD AT 144K AND EXPECT THE OLD HEAD TO WORK WELL WITH IT. THE LEFT HEAD IS A WAY TO GET PEOPLE IN THE SHOP FOR A FREE LEFT SIDE HEAD THAT CAUSES MORE DAMAGE. IT'S LIKE PUTTING AN OLD TIRE WITH A NEW ONE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ASKING FOR REPLACEMENT OF BOTH HEADS. CHRYSLER CLAIMED IT DOESN'T CAUSE THE VEHICLES TO FAIL AND IT DOES LIKE MINE DID ON THE FREEWAY WHILE DRIVING

AS I HAD GOT OFF FROM WORK TODAY AND INTO MY CAR I NOTICED MY REVIEW MIRROR HAD FALLEN OFF. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THE HEAT IS THE REASON IT CAME OFF. HOWEVER, I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN CONYERS, GA AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD BRING THE CAR IN WITH THE ISSUE. I IMMEDIATELY WENT THERE AS I WAS ONLY A COUPLE MINUTES FROM THERE. WHEN I GET THERE SHE TELLS ME SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET MY REVIEW MIRROR FIXED. I WAS TIRED AND FRUSTRATED. I NOW CAN'T DRIVE MY CAR AND I HAVE TO BE TO WORK. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE FIXED QUICKLY AS I AM A LOYAL CUSTOMER OF DODGE AND HAVE EVERY INTENTION ON BUYING MORE VEHICLES FROM YOU.

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF. A SWITCH MALFUNCTIONED IN THE CAR, CAUSING THE DRIVER'S WINDOW TO LOWER AND RAISE 1/4" EVERY 30 SECONDS OR SO. THIS DRAINED THE BATTERY AND LEFT US STRANDED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS THE SMART GLASS SWITCH THAT FAILED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES AND DODGE ISSUED A RECALL FOR ONLY 2011 MODEL YEARS LEAVING THE REST OF US IN JEOPARDY OF BEING STRANDED AND TO PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR A FIX AND POSSIBLE ANOTHER COUPLE HUNDRED FOR A NEW BATTERY.

ALL OF A SUDDEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT IT'S HARD TO STEER THE VEHICLE WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, ON A CITY STREET WITH A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIANS. THE ROAD WAS DRY. NO INDICATIONS THAT THE CAR WAS HAVING AN ISSUE PRIOR TO THAT. I CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND THE BELT I DON'T HEAR A SOUND. I'VE ASKED SEVERAL PEOPLE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS AS BEING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHICH CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HIT THE CURB AND PEDESTRIANS ON THE SIDEWALK. THERE HAS TO BE A RESOLUTION BECAUSE THIS IS A PROBLEM NOT WITH JUST MY VEHICLE UP WITH MANY OTHERS. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD A NEW POWER STEERING UNIT IN IT.

AIR BAG ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS A CLEAR INDICATOR OF A BREAK IN THE CIRCUIT. THE FACT IT COMES OFF AND ON LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT IS A CONNECTION SOMEWHERE BEING JARRED. THE ISSUE SIMULATES THE ISSUES ALREADY ADDRESSED IN ANOTHER RECALL. HOWEVER, THE YEAR MODEL FALLS OUT OF THE RANGE BY ONE YEAR AS PREVIOUSLY CITED YEAR MODELS. I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND ADDRESSED TO EXTEND THE RECALL TO OTHER YEAR MODELS OF THE CHALLENGER MAKE. VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENTLY WHEN TRAVELING. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE AND HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE OWNING THE CAR. A PREVIOUS REPORT HAS GONE UN-INVESTIGATED.

MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW CONSTANTLY ROLLS UP AND DOWN AND IT DRAINS MY BATTERY IN MOMENTS. I DONT KNOW IF MY ALTERNATOR IS GOING BACK BECAUSE EVEN AFTER I REPLACED MY BATTERY 2 TIMES IT TAKES FOREVER TO JUMP MY CAR OFF. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW A FAULTY WINDOW CAN CAUSE THIS
