Had the air bag recall fixed but yet the air bag light still comes on all the time and and out of no where my car fills like the transmission is bout to go out it jerks when you press on the gas country roads and when stop it idles like it's trying to stall out
While stopped at a traffic light near a busy intersection, there was a loud pop from underneath the hood which was followed by the vehicle shaking and stalling. I immediately turned on my hazard lights and attempted to move out of the flow of traffic. Upon inspection, engine coolant was leaking and parts of the fan blade were found underneath the car. It was apparent that the condenser fan had broken off and damaged the radiator. All of the fan's blades were gone and scattered underneath the hood and highway. The incident happened late Thursday evening and unfortunately, I cannot get it in to be repaired until mid next week as the parts have to be inspected and ordered. I have a family member that is a mechanic and he helped to get me and my kids home safely. Upon review of the Dodge site, there have been customer satisfaction notifications for the engine cooling fans for other makes and models with repair assistance, but the 2012 Charger is not listed as one of them. However, the exact same issue described is what has occurred with my vehicle this week. Dodge stated that this is not a current recall issue however, with my experience I feel this is something that warrants attention because had the vehicle been in motion, this could've been a hazardous situation for my family, pedestrians, and other drivers.

I have filed a complaint in regards to the issue previously, but new information that mopar issued a campaign to recall the timing chain on over 50K vehicle for this issue but mopar refused to cover my timing chain due to my vehicle had to many miles and I am not the first owner. I find it completely unsafe to have a timing chain snap while driving at any speed. I was attempting to turn on a main street when this issue occured. Please advise if anything further comes. I attached a copy of the previous recall on this issue
While in motion on a city street, vehicle displayed warning lights and stalled. Was able to pull off into a parking lot where the gear shift was locked in park position.

Check engine light coming on - after scan, code P0128 appears indicating that the coolant thermostat had a fault. According to service tech, most common solution is to replace engine coolant temperature sensor (ect). This apparently is very a common error on all mopar engines model years 2006-2012 or so and this happens on a lot of them. Since this is apparently a mistake on mopar's part and is very common for this year, make, and model, it should be paid for at the dealers expense. I was surprised to hear this was a somewhat known issue but that no recall has been enacted for it.
The oil pump is not giving enough pressure for the car to accelerate therefore causing problems on the road and many times dangerous situations. There is also a check engine light on. I replaced everything that could be wrong with it except the dual stage oil pump. I've talked to many technicians and they said that that is the only thing it can be. Please review this on the 2012 Dodge Charger SXT rwd 3.6L engine. It is a safety concern.

As I exited the freeway my vehicle began to shut down and lose power. I was able to sputter at 10 mph for about a quarter mile to a parking lot. The vehicles electronics were shutting down the whole time and weird electrical activation's started occurring or freezing on their own such as lights, senors, wipers, radio etc. I could also smell a burnt odor emitting from the air vents. When I parked the vehicle it did not start and had smoke coming from the engine. I checked the engine and saw some smoke coming from the alternator and smelled burnt. I took the vehicle to the dealer on 01-22-18 and they diagnosed it as the alternator failing due to the recall but there was no fix yet from Chrysler. They stated the quick fix is replacing the alternator but the vehicle would have to come back until they discover what needs to be fixed on the recall. Today is 01-24-18 and my vehicle is not repaired because the dealer is waiting approval from Chrysler to install a new alternator since there is no exact fix for the recall yet. They told me it may be an electrical computer problem, wiring problem or alternator problem. They told me they may install a new alternator today (01-24-18) and they had to order it. I have been with no vehicle since 01-18-18 due to the dealer and Chrysler not problem solving their mistake. I'm glad I didn't crash or was in the fast lane of the freeway when I lost power but my son was scared because he didn't know what was going on. I cant imagine the consequences if things had not gone the way they did. Someone could seriously get injured at the expense of Chrysler failing to find a fix. Would this fall under the lemon law?
