2023 DODGE CHARGER

Filed Aug 4, 2026


The parking brake system on my 2023 Dodge Charger has repeatedly become loose and does not hold the vehicle securely. The vehicle has been taken to a Dodge dealership multiple times for adjustment or repair of the parking brake. After the most recent dealership service, the parking brake worked temporarily, but approximately one month later it became loose again and stopped holding the vehicle properly. The problem is especially concerning when the vehicle is parked on the sloped driveway…

2019 DODGE CHARGER

Filed Jul 31, 2026


Vehicle was sold by Westgate Crysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Raleigh with missing caliper bolt in front passenger brake system. This was detected by an independent service center while getting brake pads and rotors replaced, as they were very worn and causing the brake system to be jumpy and catchy, despite Westgate assuring they were fine. The lack of the bolt in the caliper put my entire family's life at risk from the second we drove off the lot a little over a month ago.

battery pack control module, telematic box module, brake system control module, driver and passenger door latch module, ADAS camera module. I was driving on the freeway and all of a sudden, I lost all power (limp mode), a turtle light came on the dash then alot of other lights came on. Then as I'm trying to get off the freeway, I am on my brakes and it sounds like I was throttling and the power was full force. This is definitely a safety issue.

2017 DODGE CHARGER

Filed Jul 24, 2026


As I was accelerating out of a stop light on the morning of 7/24/2026, my check engine light came on seemingly out of nowhere. I was able to take the vehicle to an independent repair shop who identified the issue as the plastic oil cooler assembly on the vehicle being broken. My car's oil was completely empty and it would have been but minutes until the engine completely seized up. The oil had spilled into the motor and all other nearby parts of the engine. This puts my safety and others safety…
