The dealership has refused to provide documentation for the pre-purchase inspection and the post-inspection report, and they declared the vehicle a total loss. My husband was driving and made a left turn, and the front right tire and control arm came completely off the car. As a result, significant damage was sustained to the car's underside, and it was not immediately visible when the dealership/auto body repair shop received the car. They delayed explaining to my insurance company that the vehicle was totaled and claimed there was a delay due to a technician being terminated.

I also have a drive shaft bearing that is completely destroyed. I have seen similar complaints on nhtsa. I took my car into a local shop for both front CV boots ripped and leaking. Upon inspection I was told the drive shaft also needed replaced, totaling over 3000+ to replace the drive shaft. The mechanic took a video of the bearing and it is indeed completely separated with the drive shaft moving very loose. With how may people are complaining about this part, and the recalls on drive shafts for certain vehicles, (unfortunately not this VIN) that it should be investigated.

Car seat has a curved back instead of a flat back design which causes a chin to chest position of the head leading to closed airways of the infant. Car seat has not been inspected. Infant cries and stuggles to breathe while in car seat turning red and trying to gasp for air as he seems to slowly choke. His chin touches his chest and airways seemed closed. This is very dangerous. This product has been discontinued and should be recalled. I wrote a date below because you have asked for one but this has been a constant occurrence.

Transmission 1

I started noticing a funny noise when turning to the right and when accelerating. Took it to Community Auto Repair on 7/19/24. Below are their notes from inspection (I have attached the 1st pg of the Inspection report stating this) Test Drive - Noise Inspection NOTES Drive shaft carrier bearing is totally destroyed. Greg (owner) said that he had never seen one as bad as that before! He told me that it is dangerous to drive. If it completely breaks I could cause much more damage and can cause an accident. So I had to leave it in the shop over the weekend to be fixed on Monday. They are going to have to replace the whole drive shaft, which is $2000 +. The reason I am reporting this issue is because I would like it looked into. Greg said that it was nothing I did and it was most likely a defective part or a defect in how it was installed . He said he was surprised by how destroyed it was with how little miles I have on it. My car only has 37,000 miles on it! I saw that other Chargers of this year had recalls but my VIN was not included. But something seems odd with my car only having 37,000 miles on it and for the drive shaft bearing to be DESTOYED. Please look into this matter. Maybe my car should actually be part of the recall?

At aproximately 39000 miles, whie driving down the road the electric power steering / rack and pinion died. The wheel froze up and was very hard to turn. I was lucky i was not going fast. It cost me 3900.00 for a new R&P on a fairly new car at the time. I have also been through 3 drive shaft bearings in 100,000 miles. Dodge should be sued, so many other reports of these items going... These are expensive safety issues that shat shoud be covered by the mfgr.

There is a manufacturing defect in the car, after it has driven 120,000 kilometers or 200,000 kilometers, it causes problems in the engine’s cooling systems, which causes the car’s temperature to rise. It is also possible that the engine is damaged and needs to be replaced after that. The cooling system needs to be checked, improved, and treated for better and higher quality Note : After researching this problem on websites, I found that the car breaks down frequently in countries like Saudi Arabia due to the temperature of weather reaching 50 degrees Celsius.
