This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Passenger air bag light comes on and stays illuminated in dash, tire pressure light comes on and goes off often when driving and when I purchased the vehicle a sensor was replaced and since I purchased the vehicle in 2016 the car has been hard to steer. The cars steering is still hard to steer when making turns. It acts as if it is going to lock
I have had to replace my tires every 9 months and rotate them every 3 weeks. Finally, I asked my tire shop why. He said the way this Dodge Charger was built, the tires are at an angle so they wear unevenly, which also makes it wear faster. I thought I was being fed a story, so I took it somewhere else. The told me the same exact thing. This is very expensive and dangerous. I'm just waiting for a tire to blow out on the highway.
The issue I am really complaining about is that the lug wrench supplied by the dealer doesn't fit the lug nuts. When I attempted to get a resolution from the dealer I was told that the cause was swelling of the lug nuts which is a "manufacturer defect" and that I better keep a 4 way in the car in case I were to break down. There is also electrical issues with the vehicle which cause the radio and dashboard not to light up or display periodically when you start the vehicle. Since these items are fully integrated with the so much with the vehicle it makes it very hard to travel safely when this occurs. The vehicle has had no modifications of any type.
I bought my 2011 Charger in July 2012 with 32000miles on it. Four months after buying my Charger I had to replace both back tires. The tires were so worn out the wire was showing. Bought 2 new tires, by January 2013. These were used tires. In May 2012, I bought 4 new tires and had an alignment done. August 2013 the back tires had wire showing again. Dealer said it was the tow bar.I bought it in for repairs $350. I am currently buying back tires every 3-4 months. Recall comes out about ABS light and electrical system which can affect ESC functions. I was thinking "ok well maybe I driving so much I'm wearing down my tires" because between oil changes I had a 10,000 mile jump. Couldn't figure how I did 10,000 miles in 3 months. Now after careful study I found out ESC function affects how the speedometer reads, tire travel, and mileage reading. This car has been trouble since I bought it. In 2 years it says I've traveled 70,000 miles. What a rip off! the back end of the car just wobbles freely. Junk car.
