2017 Dodge Charger owner complaints

The radio continues to beep & change stations while nobody is touching anything. The heated seat turns itself off & the passenger side temperature randomly changes itself while no one has touched anything all while driving down the road. It occurs on city streets and at highway speeds also.

The radio/head unit is pressing buttons all by itself. Will call 911, change settings, delete saved information, set random naviGation to the gps, changes a/c and heat settings, turns on different accessories without ever touching the screen. This is very dangerous.

The fuse box and screen inside car is going haywire causing the headlight to go out while driving, causing the screen to blink on and off while driving constantly dialing 911, not letting you use your navigation or being able to use the back up camera. I almost got into a wreck with my newborn due to this issue!!! You can’t even use some of the safety features due to this issue. When driving at night the screen going on and off , dim to bright causes trouble seeing at night..you can’t turn the screen off because it’ll just turn right back on. I’ve seen your company has gotten multiple reports on this but no recall has been made. If we get hurt or someone else does you are aware that it can be a legal issue correct??

While coming around a 35mph turn my car shut its self off. Normally it would say please put car in park but it shut off and had to panic and pull hard to make it around the turn. Put car in park then I was able to restart the car.

Electrical all lights on dashboard radio all went blank, blacked out as if the vehicle was turned off while driving and fully functioning.

Screen is pushing buttons and overall not working. Turns on heat on seats and will not let me turn them off burning my back with prolong heat. Will turn off my heater and change settings while driving. Has pushed the emergency call button. Changes stations constantly. Doesn’t not allow gos to be used. Tried calling customer services multiple times and it’s is a known issue with almost all and they will not do anything. They pick and choose who’s to fix. Waiting to get a call from dealership if they will inspect it, but dodge will not cover anything they stated. It started very small with just a spot on the screen that wasn’t a big deal but once it started to progress it went fast and became a safety concern.

Electronic throttle control appears to be sending error codes to a hum. The car is not getting enough fuel to accelerate on the highway.

This car definitely has a wiring issue. Sometimes the car won't start. It is not the battery & it is not the starter. Occasionally the radio won't work. Sometimes when you are driving down the road, it loses all power. Sometimes the headlights just go out. Nobody can seem to find the issue.

Newly purchased stock vehicle with 1641 miles with very light use. Driving low speed in street traffic the modules went offline october 20, 2017 causing instrument cluster to show brake, check engine, lane sense warnings. Reported the incident to the dealer and they repaired and reprogrammed the modules. Vehicle was returned and within 24 hours a second incident occurred while driving the vehicle where instrument cluster showed brake, check engine, service shifter, electronic stability control warnings. Stopped the vehicle and its transmission jammed in reverse while parking. Vehicle could not be reversed or moved. Towed vehicle due to safety concern to the dealer october 22. Waiting safety evaluation. *bf consumer5 stated no root cause of the failure with the BCM (etc) modules was found.

The interior door panels on all four doors are lifting off and peeling away from the doors. The panels are peeling more and more every week. Eventually, it looks as though the panels will completely come off and expose the inner doors.

There is a defect in the fabrication in all the hoods of the Dodge chargers that causes the hood latch pin to corrode. My charger is brand new and has corrosion on the hood. This is a widespread problem. Let unchecked, this could cause accidents if the hood corrodes enough to where the latch pin become detached from the hood while driving.

All four door panels on my 2017 Dodge charger are lifted from the door. This began to occur approximately 2 months ago. I believe that this issue happened when the car is parked outside.

Both the front door interior panels are warped. I had to glue them because they pulled almost completely off the door.

Shortly after I purchased a new vehicle I noticed a strong fuel smell outside and inside my car and when the air was on the smell was coming through the air vents. I brought it in the dealership and they smelled the gas outside the car. They pulled up my backseats and there was a puddle of gas that leaked from the fuel pump. They replaced the fuel pump and a few days after getting my car back when I filled up my tank again the same thing happened and this time it was leaking gas from the bottom of my car. After that 2nd repair I got my car back again a few days later after I filled up my tank and the same thing happened. The 3rd time they ended up replacing the gas tank. The car still has a strong gas smell that causes me to have headaches, dizziness, and nausea. I do not feel safe

The uconnect infotainment system in fca vehicles has a defect that will cause multiple weather alerts for areas hundreds of miles away. The errant weather alerts take over the entire screen and require the driver to take their eyes off the road to exit out of the alert. The alert will not go away on it's own, and you cannot control the radio or HVAC system without reading and exiting out of the alert. Also, the uconnect system has no option to disable weather alerts. In other words, you cannot stop them from happening in their current build. I've called Dodge and uconnect multiple times, and there is still no resolution. All that needs to happen is uconnect needs to add the option in the settings to toggle weather alerts on or off. It should take a programmer an hour to accomplish t

The transmission in my car completely failed. I was driving home from work. The check engine light came on. Then I noticed the transmission wasn't changing gears. I also noticed a burning smell as well. I towed the vehicle to the dealership. They discovered the transmission fluid was burned due to over heating. The transmission was locked into 2rd gear. That happened at the end of September with about 59,000 miles. The warranty company sent the dealership a used transmission to dealership. On Monday November 27 while driving home, the transmission failed again. I put about 2,000 miles on the vehicle. For my understanding, this is a known issue with Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/RAM for the transmissions in their vehicles to fail. The manufacturer knows there's a problem. However, the manufacturer ha

While driving on the highway with my 14-year-old child as a passenger, the vehicle began shaking/jerking and losing power. I activated hazard lights and exited; the car continued to struggle and is now parked due to safety concerns. O’Reilly scan P0304 (Cylinder 4 misfire). This occurred 12,703 miles after a dealer-performed tune-up (spark plugs x6) at Cable Dahmer CDJR (Kansas City, MO). Same-day after that service I returned, reported drivability issues, and the dealer claimed ‘no problem.’ In Feb 2025 they recommended spark plugs again; in March 2025 management emailed that my ‘tune-up appears it hasn’t been done yet’ (contradicting the invoice). The dealer now refuses to treat this as a continuation without a $199 diagnostic. Vehicle is not being driven due to safety concerns.-Engine/I

Brand new vehicle has been brought to the dealer multiple times for break problems and suspension problems. More than one certified dealer have replaced drums, break pads and tie-rod bushing without any success. The car severely shakes at the front suspension system when breaking, particularly at highway speeds and coming down hills. The car has been at the car dealer(s) for as long as over a month on multiple occasions. A drumming sound can be hear when vehicle is experiencing these symptoms. To the dealer's response (fremont cdjr) no problems are found. Lame excuses I have heard from the service department: ed morga/service and parts director; [xxx]/service advisor and others state that there are not problems; that the vehicle is too heavy for this type of breaking; noise will go away on

The right rear seat belt became locked out while unbuckled during a stop at a restaurant. We returned to the car to find it wouldn't release so we could buckle up to continue our journey. We tried loosening the small part that was on a booster seat and it retracted but still refused to release. The seat belt is unusable at the moment. Will visit a dealer.
