Primary Risk Areas

TIRESPOWER TRAIN

Official Safety Recalls (3)

Campaign: 22V504000

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS

Summary

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Chrysler 300 vehicles. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor battery may fail prematurely and cause the sensor to become inoperative. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."

Consequence

Inoperative TPMS sensors will not alert the driver to low tire pressure. In addition, a TPMS warning light that is already illuminated from a failed battery sensor will mask an actual tire pressure failure issue. Either of these scenarios can result in tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the TPMS sensors, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 2, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is Z68.

Additional Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2022 Dodge Charger. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 49,000, and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 93,000.

Steering/SuspensionπŸ”΅ Low
SUSPENSION

I am writing to formally express my concern regarding an alignment issue with my 2022 Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody, which remains unresolved despite multiple visits to an authorized Dodge dealership. I have been meticulous about maintaining this vehicle, including performing regular 4-wheel alignments and rotating the tires at every oil change trying to remedy this issue. Despite this, the dealership recently informed me that the camber on the vehicle is off by 1 degree do to the control arms not being long enough when designed. Most concerning is that I was told there are no factory parts available to bring the alignment back within proper specification. Tires are being replaced with less than 10k miles on them for uneven wear on the insides of the front tires causing them too bald quickly. After multiple years of going to one dodge dealership that would state it was fine after an alignment, I finally got an answer that the control arms are short not allowing correct adjustments earlier this year and 30k miles later from another dealership. This has raised several issues for me as a customer who purchased a high-performance vehicle expecting both quality and support from Dodge. An inability to correct alignment within factory specs using OEM parts suggests a potential manufacturing or design defect, and I believe it deserves further investigation. I would appreciate your review of this matter and a response with your recommended course of action. I am seeking a resolution that ensures the camber can be corrected appropriately without compromising the performance, handling, or tire wear of the vehicle.

The contact's grandson owns a 2022 Dodge Charger. The contact's grandson stated that while changing lanes at an undisclosed speed and making a turn into a right lane; the rear driver-side tire had lost traction and the vehicle had spun out and crashed into the sidewalk, over a curb, and into a street sign where it came to a stop. The vehicle was also inspected by the grandson's mother prior to the failure where the vehicle was spun out at a lower speed. The contact stated that while the grandson was driving the failure may had happened because the vehicle was automatically switched into AWD mode and was set in rear wheel drive. A police report was filed however, was not available. The vehicle was not deemed a total loss and was towed to a local dealer for further repairs. Upon further investigation, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V808000 (Tires) and NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V504000 (Tires), however the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

Engine/PowertrainπŸ”΅ Low
POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

We purchased this vehicle new. Over time it started to surge on mild acceleration in all gears and all speeds. Dealership reset the transmission and engine computers. It was better but still noticeable. Over time though it gets worse. Dealership just does the same thing and resets the engine and transmission. This last time though it was still quite noticeable and has gotten much worse. We contacted the dealership and they plan to just reset them again as there is no other fix. The surging is unsafe especially in parking lots where you might be giving a little throttle and the car isn't really moving so you push harder and then it takes off.
