While I am driving the vehicle it shuts off and the key seems to be loose. It has shut off multiple times while operating driving down the highway making it unsafe to get to the side of the road

See attached document for complaint.

Something wrong in the fuel system. Gas guage incorrect and when putting fuel in sometimes it spits it back out without having full tank.

The engine seizes up if you look at 2010 dodge chargers almost every one that has a problem is the engine seized up on them.

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The contact stated that the vehicle would start occasionally. The contact researched and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 10V200000 (Electrical System). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was unavailable.

Got rear ended day later hears a winding noise and engine light came on then Battery light came on. When driving next day all lights on dash board came on and car died. Thought was battery changed it then restarted car. Next day bring to get diagnosed and said altnator was testing bad so had that replaced but Battery light stayed on. Took to collision center dodge and they said pcm was bad so had that replaced. The mechanic stated common problem when altnator dies it burns up the pm module. So I had to wait 2 months for it to get replaced and now changed still the check engine lights and battery light is on.

2010 police charger fobik started falling out of ignition.. problem continues dealership says no big deal eventually the day came when I tried to turn the car off and I couldn't switch will no longer turn to the off position... Every time I want to turn the car off I have to pop the hood pull a fuse then get in the trunk and disconnect the battery. I went online did a recall search and found that I have no open recalls however I found hundreds if not thousands of people are having this same issue... Dealership said it was on me... I found online a recall notice k08 on cars built between Jan and March with this issue have a recall mines built in Feb but the vin number shows no recall wtf... Plugged in my scan tool which knows my vin and showed me the same recall notice on cars built at that time and on the notice it just has build dates nothin about vin numbers... Goin back to the dealership Monday.. this is an absolutely ludicrous situation that is potentially fatal that Chrysler needs to address!

Hi I have been trying to get my recalls fixed but everytime I call the dealership they take my information but they never call me back, it has been many months waiting and It says that my airbag can deploy shrapnel everywhere because of humidity.. I have a heart pump and I take many medications and one of them is a blood thinner. If I get hurt from flying shrapnel it could and most likely will kill me because while taking blood thinners it makes it so that you bleed very easily.. I really don't want to die so is there anyway I can get help with my recalls please.. The place that won't call me back is Lithia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Grand Forks, ND

THERE'S A OPEN RECALL FOR MY 2010 DODGE CHARGER R/T & I TOOK IT TO CUETER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM. THEY HAD IT FOR 8 DAYS & HAD NOT TOUCHED THE CAR SINCE I DROPPED IT OFF. THEY SAID THEY WERE WAITING ON PARTS NOW IT'S BEEN 16 DAYS & HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY WORD BACK. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO. THE RECALLS ARE FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG & THE ENGINE TIMING CHAIN WHICH IS VERY SERIOUS IN MY OPINION BUT MUST NOT BE TO THEM.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED VARIABLE ELECTRICAL/POWER FAILURES WITH MY VEHICLE OVER THE COURSE OF THE SUMMER/FALL MONTHS OF 2020 FROM REDUCED AND RANDOM, TEMPORARY POWER FAILURES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM VOLTAGE DROPS, AND LIGHTNING BOLT SENSORS COMING ON WHICH INSTANTLY REDUCED THE ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON OCCASION EVEN LED TO COMPLETE POWER FAILURE, SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE WHEN IDLING AT A STOP. THIS ISSUE CAME TO A HEAD AROUND THE END OF NOVEMBER 2020 WHEN MY VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SENSOR CAME ON RANDOMLY WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE ENGINE DIED AND MADE NO SOUND; IT WOULD NOT START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE KEY FELL OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF.

WHILE DRIVING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME, THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND I LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I PRESSED THE GAS REPEATEDLY AND NOTHING HAPPENED. CARS BEHIND ME WERE BLOWING BUT THERE WASN'T MUCH I COULD DO. THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN ANYWAY SO I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND THEY WORKED SO I STRUGGLED LIKE CRAZY TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR INTO A CHURCH DRIVEWAY. THANK GOD THE BRAKES WORKED OR IT COULD'VE BEEN UGLY. I TRIED STARTING THE CAR BUT IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING BUT ACT LIKE IT WANTED TO START. IT WASN'T A CLICKING IT WAS MORE LIKE A WINDING NOISE LIKE A RUUU RUUU RUUU. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT MADE THE SAME NOISE BUT IT SOUNDED WORSE. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOME BECAUSE THERE WASN'T A REPAIR SHOP OPENED THAT LATE. I'M GOING TO CALL A MECHANIC TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE MIGHT BE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. IT HAPPENED TWO IN APRIL AND THREE TIMES IN MAY OF THIS YEAR BUT IT STARTED BACK UP. I WASN'T SO LUCKY THIS TIME. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY AND I HAD NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE DOING THAT. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND IT WAS PLACED ON A MACHINE AND NO CODES WOULD SHOW UP BUT THE GUY RECOMMENDED I REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY, AND I DID. DODGE REALLY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ASAP. THIS [XXX] IS RIDICULOUS. IT HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND ON THE HIGHWAY. HOPEFULLY THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER OR SOMEONE IN A REALLY HIGH TRAFFIC AREA BECAUSE SOMEONE COULD GET INJURED OR KILLED. I GUESS THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE WAITING ON TO FIX THE PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I CANNOT GET MY KEY OUT AFTER STARTING THE CAR. DODGE DEALER SAID I NEED A NEW STEERING WHEEL SYSTEM PART NO. 5057552AD WHICH COST $5,163.34. THE PART THAT IS BAD IS THE STEERING WHEEL MODULE PART NO. 68040075AA. MY QUESTION IS WHY THE STEERING WHEEL MODULE PART HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED?

MY KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION AFTER RUNNING THE CAR. I HAVE TO PULL OUT THE FUSE #8 IN THE TRUNK AND I HEAR A CLICK AND IT RESETS AND THEN I CAN GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION TURNING IT TO THE LEFT.

RECENTLY I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND NOW THE CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED SOME TYPE OF MODULE THAT READS THE KEYS, FIRST THEY STATED THE FUSE BOX IN THE TRUNK WAS THE PROBLEM. THEY INSTALLED A NEW FUSE BOX AND THEY THEN STATED THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. NEXT IS WHEN THEY REPLACED THE MODULE THAT READS THE KEYS, AND THEN THEY STATED THAT ALL THE FUSES WERE BLOWN AND THERE HAD TO BE A POWER SURGE THERE WAS NOT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DIDN'T SEE THE BLOWN FUSES WHEN THEY STARTED THIS WHOLE PROCESS. ALSO, THEY STATED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON 2010 DODGE CHARGERS WITH THE MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE KEYS HOWEVER MY CAR WAS 10 DAYS OUTSIDE OF THE BUILD DATE TO QUALIFY. WHAT IS GOING AND WHY WOULD MY CAR BE OUTSIDE THE BUILD DATE? THEY STATED THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS NOW. THE OFFICIAL DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS MY CAR AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS.
