“I bought this vehicle after only having 28,000 miles on it required the water pump to be replaced. That should not be the case. The vehicle started running hot again after having the original water pump replaced about a year ago. At this point I had only put an additional 12,000 miles on the vehicle. Now the company that put the water pump on is saying I need a new engine on a vehicle that only has 40,000 miles on it. This should not be the case and I'd like the NHTSA look into this as a faulty engine from the manufacturer.”

“I was entering onto the highway and accelerating up to speed. When the car suddenly jerked multiple times, the vehicle did not accelerate, but the RPMs redlined. I then lost power while entering the highway. The vehicle would not restart, so I pulled onto the shoulder of the interstate. Almost being hit multiple times by other motor vehicles. I attempted to restart the car without any success. The vehicle was towed home to my residency, until I could have it towed to a mechanics shop for further diagnoise. The vehicle has not restarted in over 3 weeks now.”

“: The vehicle’s steering wheel intermittently hardens or "locks" while in motion, making it extremely difficult to maneuver and creating a severe safety hazard.

“The Evaporative Canister was recalled for Dodge Challenger 2014 in 2021. The car was taken to the Chrysler Dodge Dealership and they confirmed the repair. November 2023 the engine light came on. Another mechanic completed a smoke test and determined the evaporative canister to be faulty. Both Chrysler Dodge Dealership and Chrysler Corporate office refused to remedy the issue, despite this being a recall. A faulty evaporative canister is a safety issue due to emitting additional pollution and adding to the green house effect.”
