Twice when driving down highway I went to pass a car and when I pressed the accelerator pedal my car did not accelerates, so I hurried and got back behind the vehicle I was trying to pass, it scared my daughter who was in the car with me.today I was on the on ramp to merge onto the highway and tried to speed up and my car didn't, the RPM stayed the same and no warning light came on, im guessing that taking it to get check would not help being it didn't have any warnings came on, and I don't have any warranty and I only have 57272 miles on car.

Window started rolling down about 1/4 inch (draining battery so I bought a new battery) and then other issues started occurring. Check engine light came on(while starting the car) then went off, (I had just put the car in park and turned it off), 5 mins later I turned it back on and window will not roll down at all now. As soon as the went stopped completely other things such as performance and brakes seemed to be hesitant.

My window goes up and down about 1/4 inch on its own every 10 seconds. This is started on its own. I have a 2013 Dodge Challenger rt. Due do the window consistently going up and down on its own, it causes the battery to go dead meaning I have to jump my car to get it started. I have called the Chrysler recall center and they told me that it is indeed a recall for this issue however, when I bring my car to the dealership they say don't find any recalls for this issue. I called Chrysler back while at the dealership and to my surprise another representative tells me they don't see any recalls for my vehicle. Keep in mind someone else from the recall center told me different. Please make this recall official. Most people will not report but there is surely an influx in the purchases of control module switches that should raise a red flag

In October 2018, I went to your dealership (planet Ford) located in humble Texas. I purchase (debit card) two vehicles off of the lot. I purchased a Dodge Challenger 2019 (hemi V8 rt), and Chevrolet Tahoe 2007. I was told that the Dodge Challenger since it had less than 50,000 miles had a bumper to bumper coverage still with Dodge. I started having mechanical problems with the Dodge Challenger. I spoke with steward (who sold me the extended warranty) at planet Ford in humble, Texas and was told to take it to texan Dodge. I was told that the vehicle had multiple engine problems and it would require another engine to be put into the car. In December, I picked the car up and had to pay $160 deductible. I lost time from work, and ended up being fired. In December 2018, the vehicle suffered a throttle problem. Again, I had to pay $ $114 deductible after the vehicle was released (after a week). Now, January 2019, I have an oil leak. I went into texan Dodge and spoke to Mrs. Sheffie (after calling her multiple times), and she told me that I might have to pay another deductible and that the car had prior issues when I bought the vehicle. I told her that the vehicle had a new engine that texan Dodge (their dealership) put in and also worked on the faulty throttle in 2018. She told me that she want sure if planet Ford (with the extended warranty) would cover the oil leak. I also found out that a prior claim was put on the vehicle before I purchased the vehicle in October 2018. Not only am I getting the run around, but I know that according to the prior insurance claim that was put on the vehicle that planet Ford was aware of the damages to the vehicle. I also paid 2 times for deductibles and now the vehicle still has an oil leak. Thank you.

I recently purchased my 2013 Dodge Challenger less than 2 years ago and now the car has been misfiring giving me various error codes while I am driving on the freeway and on the roads. The dealership that I purchased the vehicle from, Acura of fremont, has not returned my calls. The vehicle has given me the P0132 and recently P0300 error code. I took it to my local Chrysler and Dodge dealership in san leandro, ca and they said they can't find an issue wrong with the vehicle even though they saw the P0300 error code and the car shaking immensely. I told the representative that I do not feel safe in the vehicle after I felt the strong shaking and the engine light blinking making dinging sounds and ticking sounds. They kept the vehicle overnight to try again in the morning and they said they found no issue on the vehicle. The next day, the car starts jerking on the freeway slipping in power causing the car to shake. After researching, there is a problem in this specific year and model that I have, a cylinder head misfire that they are not addressing.
