Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2011 Dodge Charger. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the mileage was 139,415. At the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 245,715.

I am submitting this complaint regarding a recurring right turn signal malfunction on my 2022 Dodge Charger SXT, VIN [[redacted]]. The vehicle is experiencing a failure involving the right turn signal. This is concerning because the turn signal is required safety equipment used to communicate turns and lane changes to other motorists. When the signal is not functioning properly, other drivers may not receive adequate warning of the vehicle's intended movement, increasing the risk of a collision. I am particularly...

concerned that this may not be an isolated failure. I have observed numerous reports from other Dodge Charger owners describing similar turn signal problems. The apparent pattern raises concern that there may be a common component, electrical, lighting assembly, or other defect affecting these vehicles rather than an isolated maintenance issue. The malfunction also creates a compliance concern for owners. Georgia law requires vehicle turn signals to be maintained in good working condition. An owner experiencing this apparent defect may therefore be placed in the position of operating a vehicle with required safety equipment that is not functioning properly and could potentially be subject to a traffic stop or citation. I am requesting that NHTSA review available consumer complaints, manufacturer reports, warranty claims, technical service information, repair data, and other relevant information concerning turn signal failures in Dodge Charger vehicles to determine whether a broader safety-related defect exists and whether further investigation is warranted. I am willing to provide photographs, videos, dashboard warnings, diagnostic information, repair orders, dealer communications, or other documentation regarding the failure if needed.

A few weeks ago I was traveling on unfamiliar curvy roads. It had recently rained. I fishtailed going through the curve, and my breaks locked up. Not long after I had the famous "Christmas Tree Lights" on my dash which are the ABS, Break, and FCW. Went to Advance Auto Parts to check code, and it was C2200-49. Took to dealership and paid $200+ to learn the same. They quoted $1955 alone for the ABS Control Module because the part was discontinued by Mopar in 2025. Took to an independent shop for a recheck, and they...

confirmed they could not fix it because they couldn't guarantee an added part would work since they were discontinued. I haven't driven the vehicle for a month, and I'm wary of buying a remanufactured part on eBay. I researched and found the code is a processor failure pandemic on 2011-2014 models, and there was a massive national level backorder even before the part was discontinued. Mopar & Dodge need to make this right with a safety recall. My research shows it is unsafe to drive! Please help!! A recall was issued for Dodge Ram Trucks! 2013 Dodge Charger SXT with adaptive cruise control should be added. Thank you for your time!

The vehicle restarted while awaiting a second tow truck service and the vehicle was taken to...

I was traveling 58 mph on hwy 270 in Malvern Arkansas. The power steering turned off, the emergency brake engaged and flashed, and the ABS shut off. I replaced the steering sensor with an original mopar part off of my vin number and if i turn tightly it still triggers a code. The entire sensor and spring has been relplaced. It was obvious the original part shorted out It is VERY SENSITIVE to heat, the hotter it gets the more shut down of power steering, and activating the emergency brake while driving is experienced. I bought this car new and have taken excellent care of it.

returned to the independent mechanic for further inspection and was diagnosed with a loose cable connector. The cable connector was secured, and the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. A tow truck driver disconnected and reconnected the battery, but the failure persisted.

Manufacturer failed to provide an adequate remedy for Safety Recall 17V-435 (T36). On 09/12/2018, the dealer "inspected" the 180-AMP alternator (Part 4801833AB) and cleared it as safe. On 09/25/2019, this exact component suffered a total fatigue failure, causing a "no-start" condition and electrical collapse. Safety Risk: This vehicle is equipped with Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS). The alternator failure poses a risk of sudden loss of power steering assist and engine stall, which are the primary safety...

hazards identified in 17V-435. Regulatory Issue: FCA (Stellantis) has denied reimbursement for the repair by incorrectly citing "Basic Warranty Expiration," which is a violation of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (Safety recalls do not expire). Furthermore, FCA claims the part is "not covered," despite the dealer invoice identifying it as the 180-AMP unit central to the T36 recall. I am requesting an ODI review of the adequacy of the "inspection-only" remedy for this VIN.

I am filing a safety complaint regarding my vehicle due to repeated mechanical failures that have caused it to become unreliable and unsafe. My vehicle has experienced ongoing issues despite multiple repair attempts. Most recently, the vehicle broke down again and left me stranded while I was transporting my mother to a critical cancer appointment and the 1st time had me stranded on the highway late at night. This situation created a serious safety concern, as we were left stuck in the vehicle without reliable...

transportation for the 3rd time. This is not an isolated incident. The vehicle has previously been in the repair shop for an extended period (over 50 days), for a separate issue that has been resolved. Despite these repeated failures and loss of use, the manufacturer, Stellantis, has declined a buyback request. I no longer feel safe operating this vehicle due to its unpredictability and repeated breakdowns. This poses a risk not only to myself and my passengers but potentially to others on the road. I am requesting that this issue be investigated as a potential safety defect.
1)The powertrain runs very loud while standing still with the car on .2)The brakes are not that good because they still roll once you put your foot on the brakes .3)Also,the back up camera screen goes black or blue ,also flickering a lot which is unsafe and unreliable.There may be an electrical problem with this car .
While I am driving the vehicle it shuts off and the key seems to be loose. It has shut off multiple times while operating driving down the highway making it unsafe to get to the side of the road
