Recently i've been having some issues with my vehicle with it turning on and off when i first go to start it up. now i am having a bigger issue because the car decided to turn off on me multiple times while driving. luckily i am fully aware of what is happening to me while driving. i've taken it to dodge and they seem to not car or even try to figure out what is wrong because i can not reenact the problem, even though i have video of it not starting up in the beginning. simply because there are no codes that come up, which of course makes it easier on them to just push the customer away. now in my opinion i feel like this can be a life and death situation if someone like my mother or my grandma own the vehicle because they would now know how to control such a heavy vehicle. i believe dodge should look deeper into this problem considering the fact that there are a lot of forums online suggesting a problem.
The bulletin on mopar website is in regards to electrical panel. not once was there a recall. starting on 1/23/19 my husband was driving and the steering wheel locked on him and he couldn't move the vehicle. the power steering warning came on. we took it to a dealership they said oh it's the power steering assembly module but you're past mileage for coverage. so i call mopar they get another dealership on the line we set up an appointment. today 1/24/19 my husband is driving to class in morning traffic the vehicle shuts off all capability's to steer brake do anything. the vehicle luckily came on long enough to move to side of road then the vehicle again shut off he couldn't brake vehicle just kept moving then eventually it stopped and shut off on it's own. he was driving on dallas north tollway in morning traffic and traffic isn't light the thought of him being rear ended and something more happening is disheartening knowing they knew they had issues with the electrical panel but didn't do a recall
My 2017 dodge charger daytona 392 (r/t scat pack) has an inherently dangerous intermittent electrical failure. while traveling 77mph on interstate 70 the evic screen indicated a fcw warning with the system turned off, loss of the abs, esp, srs, then total loss of electric steering with no throttle or breaking input response. said vehicle then violently downshifted from 8th gear to 3rd gear causing the rear wheels to break traction subsequently resulting in full loss of lateral control of the vehicle. i fully depressed the emergency break as the rear of the vehicle began to drift to the left resulting in flat spots on both rear tires as i skidded to a hault. i have addressed this issue with 4 local dealers in kansascity to no resolve. after this failure occurs and the vehicle is shut off for any length of time the gague lightning flashes intermittently then flashing/clearing the pcm wiping every code out. once captured by a service writer stationary after having the vehicle towed to a dealership using the obd2 data recorder were 277 faults all sighting electrical over vaults and electrical failure of the tcm. fca assigned a case manager who did nothing. after consistent calls to fca corperate i was assigned a "star case" and said case was given to the 91 team who have also done absolutely nothing. this vehicle isn't just dangerous for my family and myself but other motorists as well sighting total loss of control when this event occurs. i purchased said vehicle march 20, 2017 and have dealt with this since day 8 of ownership. the vehicle now has 8,522 miles and there's no resolution in sight. i can't even get local dealers to change the oil under the mvp maxcare unlimited warranty.
