I own a 2008 dodge charger, I recently started having problems when the ds power seats stopped working followed by the automatic locks. Took it to dodge country in killeen, tx where I was told by the service man that the wires had melted together near the fuse box in truck and that it was a fire hazard. He could not tell me where the problem originated, but informed me to call my insurance co. And file a claim with them.
Everytime I check my oil there is never any oil in there. I am constantly having to put oil in my car. The other night I was driving and my car just started shaking. The air and heat stopped working. I took my car to the shop and they said I needed a tune up and that my #2 spark plug had blown. I then had the tune up and #2 spark plug changed and my car still is not running right. I took it to another mechanic who basically laughed at me and told me the 2.7 engine were horrible.
My car has been sticking in the start position for months now. If I don't wiggle the key a bit to the left it would stay in the start position. Last monday my key has been getting stuck in the ignition while I try to position it in park. Im forced to keep starting the car and moving it to try to successfully put the vehicle in park. This happens many times a day and im very concerned. The dealer has ordered replacement parts but is unsure when they will be in. He said maybe a few weeks, but could make no promises.
If the ignition stays between "start" and "on" positions it could cause loss of certain electrical functions. If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the "off" or "accessory" position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
