Problems with 2010 Dodge Charger STRUCTURE

My 2010 dodge charger caught fire and exploded. i was sitting in it with the air conditioner running, waiting for my son. i smelled something burning, but not like plastic or the smell when it's overheating. i looked at my dash and the thermostat needle was straight up then i saw a little puff of smoke out of the corner of my eye. i popped the hood and flames shot across the windshield. i opened the door and rolled out because my seat was reclined. i could see fire under the hood, i reached back in and turned the engine off thinking maybe it would help. i grabbed my phone which was stuck to the dash with a magnet and i ran like hell!

My esp keeps coming on and it's been changed. the clear coat is peeling off in different spots of my vehicle and i've notioced that other vehicles with the same year as mines is doing the samething. my co-worker has the same year as i do and was wondering if she got a lemon and i asked her what year she had and we both have a 2010 dodge charger

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge charger. while driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. the abs indicator illuminated without warning and the vehicle completely lost power. the contact stated that the vehicle was also severely rusted and corroded underneath the steering wheel panel, which created an unbearable odor inside the vehicle. the odor created a breathing issue for the contact, which required medical attention. jeep, dodge, ram of ontario, california was made aware of the failure and replaced the motor and alternator, but the failure recurred. the dealer stated that the vehicle was out of warranty coverage and the rust odor would not be covered. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue and referred the contact to the dealer. the contact purchased a three year power train warranty from a third party, but the warranty was not honored by the dealer due to a 7 year warranty expiration date. the failure mileage was approximately 137,000. the vin was not available.

My son and i were traveling home in charleston wv. we merged onto the patrick st bridge in the left lane. there was a disabled vehicle in the lane that did not have on it's hazard lights. due to rain and wet conditions, when i applied the brakes to stop the car hydroplaned and hit dead center in the rear of the 2006 ford explorer that was disabled. the crashed caused the rear of my car to lift slightly off the ground and moved all front end components from the grill to the radiator etc... into the engine. this shifted the engine backwards, crumpled both fenders, and also the hood. the airbags did not deploy at all for either passenger side for my son or driver side for myself. no one was injured in the crash. the car is being considered a total loss at this time. everyone i have spoken to are shocked the airbags did not deploy with the amount of damage the impact caused. i have seen that there was a recall on the 2011-2012 dodge chargers for airbags but i did not see a recall for my make or model. i will be following up with dodge also to investigate this problem. *tr

While driving my 2010 dodge charger r/t i was stopped at stop light. when the light turned green i accelerated, immediately after i started accelerating a noise and clunking feel happened. i maintained a very slow speed because of not knowing what the issue was. i was able to pull into the first parking lot i could easily access. again not knowing what the issue was but knowing that there was a different physical appearance to the rear of my vehicle and also how it drove while finding a parking location i had the vehicle towed to a trusted mechanic. once on the lift we were able to see that the rear sub-frame bushings had completely separated from themselves. being that i was going at a slow rate of speed the situation was kept under control, but had i been going at a higher rate of speed as i often do on my daily commute i am unsure if this would have turned out to be as controlled as it was. the impression my mechanic gave was that this was a catastrophic failure of a part that should not fail at this point of a vehicles life. after the initial assessment of the vehicle i did have it towed to a chrysler dealership to do their assessment. i have also contact chrysler multiple times and have been given little to no information on this particular issue other than that the engineers are looking at it. i did do some research and was able to find that other owners of the dodge charger, challenger and chrysler 300 have had similar issues. most of which were situations where owners replaced the bushings with stronger aftermarket parts prior to failure but it does seem to be a more common concern among owners. i know that i am just one person reporting an issue but my main concern currently is that at a higher rate of speed i do not know if the outcome would have been as controlled, and that is very concerning to me as i do have a family with small children. *tr

My dodge charger r/t has had repeated sunroof leaks, the headliner looks awful and the sunroof was replaced a month ago and i'm still having problems, but now its on the other side of the vehicle. i'm tired of paying monthly for a vehicle to be put in the shop for a week at a time to fix a problem that is still a problem. i want dodge to buy this vehicle back and they can make the payments. *tr
