In my car the oil filter assembly was leaking oil and was replaced. i have found that this is an issue with every 3.6l engine by dodge 2014 and up. i spoke with a dodge service representative and he said it was the worst design they have ever put onto this motor due to the amount of cars that have had the same issue. i feel this issue should be dealt with asap because for numerous reasons. first reason being oil flying throughout the engine cab can cause a fire. second reason being that oil leaking while driving can cause dangerous driving conditions for other motorists whether it's slipping on oil leaked by my vehicle or from oil being sprayed up from my vehicle coating their windshield. also another danger for me the operator is the nauseous smell of oil burning going through my heating system is extremely dangerous. i hope that you see this complaint and take it serious and investigate this issue because i truly feel that this is a serious hazard. i have since had the part replaced with an upgraded part that dodge offers. and i had it installed by the dealership i bought the car from due to being much cheaper. thank you!

I bought a used 2014 dodge charger less than a month ago . i haven't made my first payment and have to replace the oil filter housing and no a problem with my battery saver indicator shutting of functions of the car while driving . dealer has recognized the issue by unwilling to pay for all cost and parts of repair .
Defective left cylinder in pentastar 3.6vl engine. my car was built in september 2013. it has the constant ticking and puttering associated with the defect. drives fine, may or may not have the check engine light on, but when idle it shakes/knocks uncontrollably. my mechanic educated me on the defect after many attempts at repairing the severe misfiring. contacted dodge and chrysler and was informed that because my car is a 2014 charger it did not have the 150,000 extended warranty for his known defect in chargers from 2011-2103; noting mine was built in 2013.
When i start my car i hear a ticking sound coming from my engine as i accelerate the noise become louder an faster. i was told it could possibly be my rocker arms or lifters. i've done oil changes, ignition coil replacements an spark plugs an sound continues.
Sheared rocker pin posing injury and or death to occupant or other drivers on the road
So i've been going to dealership getting a oil change spark plugs change etc and also all recalls done at same dealership which i dont have a problem with but i've come to notice there is a problem with this oil filter adapter that seams pretty crazy buy the way manufacture built such faulty piece that is in a highly mantience area that would put many nice cars on side of highway or even stall from running a motor from a faulty piece as a dodge driver i was hit with this problem thinking i was goinng in for a oil change to have major work done by this faulty part that is on all 3.6 engine no matter charger or jeep or chrysler 300 so i think it would be highly appreciated for you guys to recall this so i can not be out of 1300 dollars because of this faulty part that at most should have been a 100 dollars out of pocket for full synthetic oil which is all i ride and also only dealerships change dodge dealer that is so i've read many forums on this i just notice they say we should reach out to you guys to do something about it.

Car experienced rapid alternator failure. requested dodge repair as part of recall, however they refused stating recall was limited to 160amp alternator and my charger had 180amp. after some research in chrysler forums, both the 160amp and 180 amp alternators are experiencing the same type of failure. both should be on the recall list!
Takata recall while driving in the city streets the oil cooler assembly started leaking oil all the way from the top where its located to the transmission and exhaust pipes causing a lot of smoke come out because the oil burnig had to stop very quickly thinking the car was getting on fire. at first did not know where the leak was coming from after inspecting i noticed it was coming out where the oil cooler assambly is.
My dodge charger caught fire and was a total loss due to the engine over heating... the fire marshal and investigator stated that the engine had a malfunction... all the parts on my vechile was the original.... i purchased my car brand new off the lot and only took my car to the dealership for any work prior to my total loss....my car was sitting parked when the fire occurred which started under the hood and i didn't have any work done on my car prior to the fire.
Oil filter housing adapter leaking / cracked.
Lifters went bad with only 37000mi on it causing the camshaft be get worn.
The car had an exhaust smell wednesday coming through the vents. that went away. no issues with performance. notice days after car was loud. figured it was just warming up with cold temperature. last night car starts no problem. drive to a friends house was maybe in her house 7 minutes. we go to leave used the key fob to unlock the car notice inside of the car is completely black, won't start. there was a ticking noise under the hood. windshield wipers start moving. i test the key fob not responding. dashboard lights up, message screen is white, car puts it's self in run but engine not starting. you can move the gear to put the car in neutral. the whole time dashboard and all lights are know blinking. turn signals are on outside but dashboard doesn't reflect. battery tested fine. i have video of what the car is doing. they completed a recall on the alternator due to not giving enough power to the car in 2015. hopefully that's not the problem. will be towed tomorrow to the dealership. unable to load the video due to recorded on my phone. *tr
The vehicle has been having a pop up message which was stated battery save mode. i then replaced the battery for the key thinking it would help. i then started the vehicle battery and was no problems .today when i stared my car a white screen popped up where i see the messages in the dash board of speedometer. there after when i started my car it sound like was having a hard time turning.later that day while driving 25 mph my cst dcteem completely shut off. i tried jumping it, testing battery and it sounds as if alternator has went out. this is very unfortunate when this is a newer car and warranty just expired. i was driving
While driving my 2014 dodge charger sxt on the freeway today (11/02/16) the engine stalled & i barely made it to the relative safety of the median to attempt to restart my car. after multiple attempts, it eventually restarted, however it stalled again shortly thereafter on the freeway & 3 more times once i got off the freeway. i just got it back from the dealership last week for the same problem (they claimed that they "updated" some software but couldn't replicate the problem). it is currently at the dealership, but i am concerned that i may not be able to safely avoid injury/damage if this problem isn't fixed & continues to happen. i have multiple photos & videos on my phone of this occurring & would be happy to email them. *tr
I have been working with fca since 8/31/16, so for 28 days now, that i have been without power steering. i filed my first complaint on, or around 9/12/16. i experienced the exact same symptoms as stated in nhtsa pe14022 while driving down the highway at apporximately 65mph. every warning light went off flashing, service transmission message, service power steering , and tach, and speedo would drop to zero , and i would lose engine power, and power steering. i captured the incident on video, and provided the video to nhtsa, i will again provide a link for the video here : https://youtu.be/e96hvqpep10 . in dealing with fca llc, they refuse to replace the electric hydraulic power steering pump that was fried from this incident occuring. fca is saying that it was the "2 year old mopar battery" that caused the incident, and refuse to replace the ehps pump that worked perfectly fine before this occured. i replaced the alternator per nhtsa recall no. 14v-634 a great deal of time prior to this incident occuring. fca is trying to circumvent having to replace the pump by changing the origin of the means to the battery, instead of the alternator. i have been extremely frustrated with how fca refuses to acknowledge all of the proof given to them. i am not alone in this, there had been many complaints filed with similar results as mine in dealing with fca. it's time for nhtsa to do something to remedy this issue with fca. fca offered to replace the $1400 ehps pump if i pay a $500 co-pay, i refuse to accept this offer based on the principle of the matter. the true origin of all of the issue's i'm currently having, is from the original alternator that was in the car for a year and a half initially, and during that time it was improperly charging the battery that possibly caused the battery to ultimately fail on 8/31/16. please see attached files. failure mileage 81332

At 5,500 miles, when i would accelerate into traffic, i would lose power to my pedal. my pedal would be non responsive for up to 40 seconds when the engine light would come on. after about 40 seconds, it could come alive and catch, but by then, i am in danger because the car behind me thinks i've accelerated to flow into traffic. dealership saw the code where they said it was p0600 for oil pressure control circuit stuck. i was able to test drive with the tech who attached his laptop to the sensor, and show him the "stall/surge". he could see and feel the "stall/surge" as it was happening but the laptop did not register any issues. the tech tested and diagnosed the oil pressure switch was faulty. the tech replaced the oil pressure switch, but he said he could not duplicate it on his own. they changed the oil for me while it was in for service. again on 6-10-15 at 12,443 miles when i was accelerating into traffic when the car "stalled/surged" and i was almost hit from behind. as soon as it happened, i immediately took it to the dealership. they were unable to look at it for a few days because they were so busy. 9-26-15. it happened again, at 17,000 miles. it stalled/surged, it seems to happen when i am merging onto a freeway and i am the most vulnerable. i fear for my safety, i do not trust this vehicle. the dealership has had it since then, they are talking about replacing the engine.

While driving on the highway at 65mph the vehicle shut off and i lost power steering. i was barely able to avoid being hit during heavy morning traffic. once stopped i was unable to get the vehicle to restart and needed to be towed to the dealer.
The vehicle's engine was cold and it had been sitting in a parking lot for four days. i was attempting to merge into traffic from a toll booth. the vehicle would not accelerate past approximately 10 mph and it lost speed but the rpms were increasing. this went on for approximately five seconds and then the check engine light came on and i was able to accelerate into traffic. i drove for approximately 30 miles at 70 mph (after calling a servicing dealer who told me i would be okay driving the car unless the check engine light started to flash) then stopped for a traffic light. at the next two traffic lights the vehicle would not accelerate with cars backed up behind me and honking. the mph were at 15 but the rpms were at 2200. this went on for about five seconds at each light then happened again as i tried to merge onto another highway that was under construction with concrete barriers on both sides and had no where for me to wait for acceleration. the servicing dealer said they couldn't get my car in for 4 days. two days later the check engine light went off. the next day the servicing dealer said they could not diagnose the problem without the check engine light on. they drove it for three days and then gave it back to me undiagnosed. the next day they said bring it back in because dodge engineers read the computer code and told them to replace the transmission. the servicing dealer discovered metal shavings in the pan while replacing the transmission. the servicing dealer did not know what caused metal shavings in the pan but one of their employees told me on the side they see the problem a lot and drivers will call because they hear a loud boom from the car .i am a week out with the new transmission and still notice it does not upshift smoothly when the engine is cold. neither the servicing dealer or the selling dealer will help me with an extended warranty. *tr
