I have a 2008 Dodge Charger, which has had several electrical problems to occur since I purchased the vehicle in Aug., 2008. 2 of the problems could have caused serious injury if I had wrecked when the sterring wheel locked or just the other day the fan blade motors locked up and bursted my radiaotr. This vehicle is too new to have so many defects, especiall linking to electrical matters that are not recognized by the power-train warranty, which I feel should have all been covered the the warranty. After reading www.daimlerchryslervehicleproblems.com/, I wish this was brought to my attention before making the decision on this Dodge vehicle. The car has several years before being paid off, but I am now terrified to continue driving this vehicle knowing anything, unplainable can happen at anytime. Something needs to be done about Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep for putting people's lives in danger.

After receiving recall 08V583000 involving police vehicles with steering column mounted shifter on 11/18/2008, vehicle repeatedly has problems engaging gears. Officers driving this vehicle place the shifter into drive and learn that it has not engaged and is instead in neutral. It often startles the officers, who are focused on making rapid shift changes in order to pursue violators or negotiate terrain. Officers find that they often need to push the steering column shifter toward the dash to properly engage the appropriate gear, causing a lapse in driving skills and a loss of Focus on vehicle operation. The latest failure occured in the middle of a crowded intersection as the patrol officer was attempting to pursue a violator. Vehicle showed it was in reverse when it was between reverse and neutral. Shifting to drive, it remained between neutral and drive until the officer could correctly engage the appropriate gear.

2008 Dodge Charger SE plus 3.5ho shortly after purchasing this vehicle I noticed a very bad shake/shudder/stutter when the vehicle was shifting, mainly from first to second gear, which results in power loss. I have taken it to various dealerships numerous times. One dealership told me that they could not duplicate the symptom, and that it was performing as designed. Another dealership stated that they know exactly what I am taking about, but that Dodge had not come up with a fix for it yet, and they did not know when they would. I see this as a safety issue, and this should be corrected asap.

I purchased this car on August 4 2008. Initially, when I test drove the vehicle, the car would mildly vibrate on a complete stop. I told the sales representative about the problem and we both agreed it might have been a minor issue. He stated the problem will be corrected prior to purchasing the vehicle. I did not think nothing of the issue. The day I purchased the vehicle the sales representative stated that the problem was corrected through the maintenance department. One week later, the check engine lighted up on a Saturday morning prior to me going to work. I drove to work with the light on with no others problems. After arriving at work, I called the dealership requesting a appointment at earliest Tuesday morning. On that Tuesday morning, the maintenance representative suggested that the engine sensor revealed " flex plate" also that I should leave the vehicle with him for arrival of the part the following day. I agreed and waited for two days. On Friday morning, August 15 2008, I picked up my vehicle under the assumption everything was okay. After signing the maintenance invoice, I noticed the technical name of the problem was a "flywheel." I felt a little misled. Later, that afternoon, the check engine flickered on and off for a few minutes and the vehicle started vibrating very hard when stopping or slowing down.
