2010 Dodge Charger Other Problems

Your 2010 Dodge Charger SRT8 has a WIN (Wireless Ignition Node) module that's experiencing the same problems reported on regular 2010 Chargers, but your vehicle isn't included in the recall. You're wondering why your SRT8 model was excluded from the recall when it has the same defect.

THE WINN MODULE

THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE I WAS SITTING WITH MY CAR RUNNING PARKED.

WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH MY CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPEN TO THEM I FEEL IT'S VERY SERIOUS MATTER

THE CAR PROCEEDS TO SHAKE AND MAKE NOISE

I BROUGHT A VEHICLE WITH A ROLLED BACK ODOMETORAND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS CAULKED OVER SO YOU COULD NOT SEE IT WAS ON.AFTER I BROUGHT THE CAR FROM AN INDIVIDUAL IT FAILED EMISSION TESTING. MY MECHANIC DISCOVERED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS CUALKED. I DECIDED TO LOOK UP THE VIN ONLINE AND SAW THE CAR WAS SOLD AT AUCTION ON 9/25/17 ON THE ODOMETOR READ 199955.

IT WAS ALSO ON TITLE AS 99,000. THE CAR LOST 100,000 ON THE ODOMETOR IN 2 WEEKS. TITLE SHOWING 99,000 IS ATACHED.

MY 2010 DODGE CHARGER WAS UNDER RECALL FOR TIMING CHAIN AND CHAIN GUIDE TENSIONER. WE TOOK IT TO A LICENSED GARAGE THAT'S BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR MANY YEARS. THEY SAID THEY ORDERED THE BIGGEST TIMING CHAIN. IT LASTED 6 MONTHS. WE WERE 7 HOURS FROM HOME ON OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY VACATION. WHEN THE CHAIN BROKE WE WERE DRIVING SO THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THE GARAGE SAID WE NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR OVER A MONTH BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIND AN ENGINE THAT WORKS TO THEIR SATISFACTION. SO, MY CAR IS ONLY 7 YRS OLD AND NOW I DON'T TRUST IT. WHY WAS THERE A RECALL IN THE FIRST PLACE? IS THE 3RD TIMING CHAIN GOING TO BRAKE ALSO? I WONDER WHAT'S REALLY WRONG WITH THIS CAR. BAD ENGINEERING?? I WOULD LOVE AN INVESTIGATION TO BE DONE IF POSSIBLE.

APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS OR SO AGO I HAD TO REPLACE MY BATTERY BECAUSE IT WAS "TOO WEAK" FOR MY CAR. I DID SO AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO WHEN I TRIED STARTING MY CAR AND IT TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES FOR ME TO FINALLY START IT, IT WAS STATIONARY. I CAME HOME WITH MY EYES STINGING AND SWOLLEN AND THIS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN THE CAR. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I REALIZED THE BATTERY BLEW UP AND THERE WAS BATTERY ACID ALL OVER MY TRUNK. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF IT WAS COMMON AND I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL FORUMS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR BATTERIES BLOWING UP. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR ITSELF OR THE BATTERY, BUT I DO THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE BATTERY IS A DURALAST BATTERY.

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE WALMART PARKING LOT AND WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR DIED. I TOOK IT TO BE SERVICED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS GIVING NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES. I PICKED THE CAR UP 3 DAYS LATER AND WHILE BRINGING IT HOME IT DIED 3 TIMES. I RESEARCHED FOR REPORTED COMPLAINTS AND FOUND THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE. WHY ARE THESE CARS BEING SOLD? THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I'M PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT I CAN'T DRIVE BECAUSE THERE IS A GREAT RISK OF BODILY HARM OR DEATH TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. THIS NEEDS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND RECTIFIED!
