When I bought this 2007 Dodge Charger I started having problems with my brakes and I took it to the dealear to be checked out because everytime I hit the brakes it felt like it was scratching the ground but they keep telling me it was fine they don't know what I was talking about so when I left the dealer it did it again they told me that they had already checked it and they didn't find nothing to bring it another time so I kept bringing it so many times they kept telling me the same thing so I stop taking it than later my shifter broke I took it to the dealer and I had bought a bumper to bumper warranty and they told me it doesn't cover it, they try to charge me $580. So I did a research on how to fix it on youtube and I bought the part I only pay $10. For the part. And I fixed it myself I saved me $570. So I stop taking my car to them because I used to do my oil change but they charge me too much
I purchased this car 2 years ago with the title, just having it at my parents house because I have another car. I drove it back to memphis on the highway and it jerked, cut the car off turn it back on it drives no more than 30 mph. Got a reading at 2 different auto zones, and got a tune up, oil change, and wire coils that go with the car. Still the same problem. So I drive the car back to my parents house a hour away from memphis and it's going slow, so of course law enforcement had some questions that almost allowed me to get the car towed at the times with the coronavirus going on as well.. so, after I get my slow car out the impound, I looked on cars.com and I see a previous recall on my car that I didn't see at the time or purchase or had any idea of, that might be a little to late to fix even though these the exact same problems I'm having at this present moment. My car jerks back when trying to put it in the reverse or drive. So, I go back to autozone, in the little town because now I'm afraid to move my car because of the danger it's in. Autozobe don't want to do the reading so I do it myself because they're not allowed to get into people cars at this time. So, keep in mind I've got the work done to the car and I'm coming back to confirm that I did do those things. The man who worked at autozone told me it was something with my wiring, and to take it back to the dealership because they cannot find the part needed in the store I seen it with my own eyes the screen turn blank. Took it to Dodge, they just replace the air bags, and of course offer to make me spend money. I told them about the previous recall on my car and no one helped even though there is a maximum 10 years. But if these cars are still selling and being used there shouldn't be any time frame for the problem to be fixed because the car is now unsafe and unusable, and the owner out of money.

Ive had issues that I am reporting to thus site. Dealership said my VIN didn't match. My esp, ABS, and bas lights have been on for 2 years. I went to dealership to inquire on ECU flash with new software by recall, but the dealership said only police package vehicles were included in that recall. Ive researched countless hours to find very many people who have this same problem. Now I am needing to bring my car in for the airbag recall. From what it states on this website, my recall was ordered back in may, 2015. From the information that I read, there was supposed to be a 60 day time span within which the dealership was supposed to fix my airbag issue, and the fact that my vehicle VIN number falls under this recall order, I believe that I was previously misled by Chrysler Dodge Jeep about the issues pertaining to my ABS, bas, and esp issues which regard a wheel speed sensor, from my understanding, that causes me to lose traction, trouble braking in moist to wet weather, and my cruise control option has not worked since the ABS, bas, and esp lights first came on 2 years ago, when my wheels lost traction while pulling into a gravel driveway at about 5 miles an hour.I drove off road accidentally twice in the passed year: The first time was caused by a lack of ABS and a braking assistance system which caused only minor damage to front bumper. The second time was due to loss of tire traction while pulling away from a stop sign while it was raining, causing me to spin out into a 180 degrees turn to which my tires caught traction and I acceled through a white picket fence on the corner of the street while my foot firmly jammed on the brake pedal to try and prevent personal or external damage. Still damaging passenger fender and front grille. I'm close to request of a depreciated financial reimbursement on vehiclal. My safety, security, and trust has become compromised.

The first incident happened after I was driving on the freeway for about 30 miles I parked the car with the car on so I can have the air on. I had to move my car and the car wouldn't move. The shifter would move but it didn't seem to change into gear. I had it towed to a transmission shop thinking it was a transmission problem. The shop looked it over and found nothing wrong with the transmission they said it was the brakes that were locked up so they unplugged the ABS and that seemed to fix the problem.the second incident happened when I was driving home from work and came to a stop at an intersection when I pulled away from the light the car hadn't switched gears and wouldn't accelerate. When I parked the car there was a heavy smell of the brakes burning.
While traveling at 40+ mph I attempted to accelerate by pressing the accelerator pedal all the way, the Dodge Charger rt(5.7L V8) did not react and kept accelerating at the normal rate before I pressed the accelerator. Since it was not reacting to my input, I took my foot completely off the accelerator but the vehicle kept accelerating at a constant rate. Then after two seconds, the vehicle accelerated at full throttle, in automatic, downshifted, and continued to speed up at full throttle. Brakes were pressed but seemed to have zero effect on the vehicle's uncontrolled acceleration. Finally I decided to shift into neutral and the engine resumed normal operation. I then shifted into drive again from neutral, and operation of the vehicle resumed to normal. First time this has happened and is extremely unsafe, luckily, no car was in front of me and I had time to control the car before I came to the upcoming red light/intersection.
Was driving down road and car started to slow down and became extremely difficult to operate. Car slowed pretty much to a stop and I had to use all my strength to get it to turn so I could pull over to a safe place. The car completely shut off and locked up on me. I put the car in park and took the key out, put the key back in to restart the car and it started right back up. I have been researching since this has happened and there are tons of complaints about this exact thing. I have two small children and now I am afraid to drive my car and it is my only vehicle. I just purchased this Charger about 3 months ago. This is the first time it's happened. This problem needs to be addressed and it needs to be fixed before people start to die from horrific crashes from no fault of their own! I'm so disappointed about this and would have never bought this car if I would have known I was putting mine, my kids or others life at danger! absolutely ridiculous!

I was leaving work, and entering I-285 off exit ramp, I saw a vehicle that was stopped ahead of me approx. A quarter of a mile up ahead of me, so I began to apply brakes to prepare to stop ahead...and I realized that my brake pedal would not move or give in to even apply pressure to brake. I was going approx. 45 to 50mph...and I crashed and rear ended a car full force without any brakes at all. Both airbags deployed...it was awful and the scariest thing that I have ever experienced. It resulted in a 4 car accident. I suffered a broken ankle in two places, torn foot ligaments, and burns from airbags. I am angry, because I found out about several recalls that are out with my cat that I was unaware of. I have had my car serviced with Dodge on three different occassions prior to this happening within the past 6/7 months. Something will be done about this...I could have died!!!!!
