2010 Dodge Challenger engine and engine cooling problems

“I HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT IN BETWEEN ME RELEASING THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATING MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND MY ENGINE STOPPED. THE CAR BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER AND THE BRAKES WERE DIFFICULT TO USE. THE A/C AND RADIO WERE STILL FUNCTIONAL. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE THE OIL LIGHT NO LONGER APPEARED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE THIS SUMMER 2015 AND ONCE LAST SUMMER 2014. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NO CODES WERE FOUND ON ALL OCCASIONS. I HAVE A LIFETIME MOPAR WARRANTY HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE, THEREFORE THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE ROOT CAUSE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ALSO COMPLETED OIL CONSUMPTION TESTING AND FOUND NO ISSUES. I WAS ABLE TO USE MY CELL PHONE TO RECORD THE OIL LIGHT SHOWING THE LAST TIME THE ISSUE OCCURRED. I HAVE ALSO FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH DODGE. DODGE SUGGESTED THAT THERE COULD POSSIBLY BE ELECTRICAL ISSUES.”

“I HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 WITH 6.1L V* HEMI ENGINE. 6000 MILES ON IT AND IN PERFECT SHAPE. ON MAY 2ND AT 1PM I CAME OFF THE FREEWAY (AIR CONDITIONER WAS ON) AND SLOWED TO 10 MI/HR TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. POWER STEERING WENT DEAD THAN CAR STOOPED RUNNING. I TOOK IT TO TEMPE DODGE AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE. I GOGGLED IT AND FIND OUT ITS BEEN HAPPENING WITH A LOT OF SRT8S AND HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES; YET TEMPE DODGE IS UNAWARE OF IT??? REALLY!!!!! THIS NEEDS ADDRESSING NOW BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!!!! DODGE IS NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY AS IF THEY WISH IT WOULD GO AWAY. FOR A 40K CAR THIS IS RIDICULOUS!! THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ITEM AND IT NEEDS TO HAVE A ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS COMPLETED BY DODGE ENGINEERS ASAP!!! IF THIS HAPPENS AT HIGHER SPEEDS OR IN SHARPER TURN SOMEONE WILL DIE!! I WANT AN ANSWER. IF DODGE DOES NOT PROVIDE ONE ASAP I WILL MAKE IT MY PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO BE SURE NO ONE BUYS ANOTHER CHALLENGER WITHOUT BEING AWARE OF THE INCIDENTS IN DOCUMENTED FORM. *TR”

“I PURCHASED A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SE APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO. THREE DAYS AFTER PICKING THE VEHICLE UP, IT WAS IN THE SHOP. THE MOST RECENT PROBLEMS INVOLVE THE ENGINE MAKING A LOUD CLICKING NOISE. THIS WILL BE THE 4TH TIME THE CAR WILL BE TAKEN TO THE SHOP. *TR”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT THE ILLUMINATION OF ANY WARNING INDICATORS. UPON RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY. THE SIMILAR FAILURE OCCURRED FIVE DIFFERENT TIMES ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE DEFECT CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,955.”

“APPROXIMATELY MARCH 2011 IN MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT ABOUT 5 MPH THE CAR ENGINE TOTALLY QUIT. CAR STARTED RIGHT UP AGAIN AND NO PROBLEMS UNTIL SEPTEMBER 5, 2011. ON SEPTEMBER 5, 2011 COASTING TO A STOP LIGHT WITH SLIGHT BRAKING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH CAR ENGINE TOTALLY QUIT AGAIN. STARTED RIGHT UP AGAIN AFTER THE ENGINE STALL. ON SEPTEMBER 7, 2011, TWO DAYS AFTER PRIOR ENGINE STALL CAR AGAIN STALLED COASTING TO A STOP LIGHT WITH SLIGHT BRAKING AT AGAIN ABOUT 5 MPH. CAR AGAIN STARTED UP. *TR”

“THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN 30 DAYS THAT THE CHALLENGER R/T HAS SHUT OFF WHILE MAKING A TURN AT SPEEDS OF 25 MPH OR LESS. REFERENCE ODI ID # 10421234 / INCIDENT DATE OF 08/19/2011. WIFE WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN OFF OF A BUSY STREET (40 MPH SPEED LIMIT, INTO MY HOME NEIGHBORHOOD) WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY DIES, STEERING & BRAKES GO HARD, OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATES, AND SHE HAD TO COAST TO A STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, PRESS THE START BUTTON (EVEN THOUGH DASH MESSAGE SAID "KEY FOB NOT FOUND"), CAR RE-STARTS, AND SHE CONTINUED 1/2 MILE TO OUR HOME. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE LETTING MY WIFE OR KIDS DRIVE THIS CAR WHEN THE PROBABILITY OF IT DYING IS VERY POSSIBLE. I JUST DROVE THE CAR UP THE NARROW MOUNTAIN PASSES TO BIG BEAR, CA (8,000 FT ELEVATION) & BACK 3 DAYS AGO, AND THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF IT HAD DIED AND I HAD LOST CONTROL ON A WINDY MOUNTAIN ROAD. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR DIE BEFORE SOMEONE FORCES DODGE / CHRYSLER TO IDENTIFY & CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. CAR IS GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW MORNING, WHERE I EXPECT TO GET ALOT OF NOTHING, BUT ATLEAST MY COMPLAINTS WILL BE INTERRED INTO THE SERVICE SYSTEM. *TR”
