Vehicle: Dodge Charger GT Recall: SABIC Side Airbag Inflator Replacement Dealer: ourisman chrysler dodge jeep ram of clarksville, maryland Date of Recall Repair: feb 27, 2026 Complaint Description: After the dealer performed the SABIC inflator recall on my Dodge Charger GT, the vehicle immediately developed new electrical failures that were not present before the repair. As soon as I picked up the car, the interior dome/map lights stopped working, and the right‑side exterior front lighting also failed. These failures occurred directly after the recall repair, indicating the dealer likely damaged or disconnected wiring inside the A‑pillar/B‑pillar or roof harness while accessing the inflator. This creates a safety hazard, especially at night, because the right exterior lighting is inoperative and interior lighting does not function. The dealer has not acknowledged responsibility, and the vehicle was returned to me in an unsafe condition after a federally mandated recall repair.

ODI #11708098FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

- Crack at base of gas tank where fill tube attached causing fuel vapors around the car and a possible fuel leak. - Yes by independent service center. -White residue was built up around the crack in the fill tube. Independent service center confirmed the cause as - "Found plastic fuel tank leaking around the filler nipple that is plastic welded in. Also, the auxiliary pump has a dark spot like it may be sleeping as well. Need to replace the fuel tank and would recommend replacing the fuel pumps as a precaution." Final repair charge was $4437.03. Independent service center replace fuel tank and fuel pumps with Mopar parts from the closest Dodge dealer. In review with the service center they stated that fuel was dripping onto the heat shield above the exhaust and could have caused a fire. - No other agencies inspected the issue or repair. Attached a copy of the invoice and two pictures of the worn/cracked fuel tank. - No warning lights, just the smell of gasoline in my garage about 5 weeks ago. The smell would be the strongest when the tank was full but when below half tank the smell was not present.

Over 2 years ago I took my vehicle in for an oil change and asked them to drive it and see why it sometimes pulls the steering when going around a curve to the left. they drove it and said it never did pull. Since then, it now pulls to the right when going around curves to the right also. It is doing it more frequently and I am in fear that it will either cause me to go off the road or hit someone when it all of a sudden jerks, like it is catching on something in the tire or something. I wouldn't even let my grandson drive it when he got his learners permit. I have since then decided to look for a safer vehicle and will be trading it since no one can figure out the issue. It jerks hard all of a sudden and you have to make sure you are holding the steering wheel tight. I am reporting to hopefully prevent an accident.

The contact owns a 2019 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the headlights failed to function as intended. The headlights failed to activate as intended. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact replaced the light bulbs; however, the failure persisted. The contact was unable to drive the vehicle at night due to the failure. Upon further investigation, the contact found a recall issued by the manufacturer for the low beam headlights failing or the wiring harness melting. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was unknown.

The interior door panel on my 2019 Dodge Charger began to separate/warp from the door frame on the Front drivers and Front Passengers door panels. The vehicle had approximately 32000 miles when the issue started. The plastic trim piece is lifting and peeling away from the door next to the window sill, creating a sharp edge and a gap. This separation is causing the door lock mechanism to bind and become difficult to operate. The window operation is also negatively affected, as the glass rubs against the warped panel. I have also had to replace the window motor a little over a year ago and it is again starting to fail. AJ Dohmann now Geaux Dodge in Plaquamian Louisiana replaced this. This defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety because it could impede egress from the vehicle in an emergency due to the malfunctioning door lock. It may also compromise the integrity of the side curtain airbag deployment area. I contacted the manufacturer/dealer on 02/2020, and they indicated this is a known issue but not a safety recall, so they refused to cover the repair under warranty. The issue has reoccurred/worsened and is present on multiple doors. There were no injuries or a crash as a result of this issue. Photos of the defect are attached to this complaint.

ODI #11698261ENGINE

On January 6, 2025, Countryside CDJR in Georgia performed internal engine repairs on my 2019 Dodge Charger R/T, including lifter and internal engine work. Only months later, the engine suffered a catastrophic failure while driving. The vehicle became disabled and had to be towed. This raises serious concerns of improper repair or a safety-related engine defect. The dealership denies responsibility and blames a single missed oil change. A single missed oil change does not cause sudden catastrophic engine failure so soon after dealership-performed internal work. This could be related to known 5.7L HEMI lifter/camshaft issues. I am requesting that NHTSA review this failure for potential safety defect or incorrect repair contributing to engine failure.

Here in AZ we had some strong monsoon storms and during one last week, my car was shaken from the winds and rains so bad that my driver side curtain airbag was visible. It did not fully deploy but the bag was exposed. There is a current recall on these bags but since this happened before the recall fix(at the shop now getting replaced) should insurance have been contacted before hand since this was weather that caused the partial deployment?

I brought my vehicle in for a recall to replace the airbags and headliner. When I received my car back from the dealership (Union City Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram), the vehicle was returned with a broken windshield, water intrusion leading to mold, corroded and missing components, and now both rear doors do not function properly. These issues are safety concerns and were not present before the service. This dealership severely compromised the safety and usability of my car during a recall repair. I believe this warrants investigation and potential oversight from NHTSA, especially as this stemmed from a recall they were authorized to repair.

ODI #11657947AIR BAGS

We purchased our vehicle from Big Star Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, located at 15711 Gulf Fwy, Webster, TX 77598. We drove 3 hours to buy this car, and at no point did the salesperson disclose the open Takata side airbag recall during the sale process. After the sale, we met with the finance director, Chris Schnooberger, who handled our payment and paperwork. He also failed to inform us of the airbag recall or the serious safety risks it posed. Our conversation in his office was recorded on their in-house camera system, per dealership policy. Once we returned home, we discovered the airbag recall through the NHTSA website and were shocked to learn how dangerous it was. We were terrified to even drive the car knowing a faulty inflator could potentially send metal fragments into the cabin. We had the airbags replaced at a Dodge dealership in Austin on or around April 29. We purchased the vehicle on [XXX]. I still have the pictures of the Carfax detailing the recall. When we called Chris to express our concern, he downplayed the situation, claiming the recall was not serious and didn’t need to be fixed. His tone and evasive answers felt dismissive and dishonest. My family and I feel cheated and manipulated. There was no transparency at the point of sale, and we believe this is a serious violation of consumer safety disclosure standards. We respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this dealership’s handling of recalls and safety notices to protect future buyers.

I received a notice March 14th of 2024 indicating that the side curtain airbag on my charger may fail and cause shrapnel to go into the passenger and driver's area and possibly causing injury. To date I have not heard a word and every time I check up on this recall it says that no remedy is available. I have made repeated calls and emails to Dodge FCA in regards to this and I have never received a response. This is getting quite annoying since my wife rides in my car with me and if the airbag fails the potential for an accident or injury is great. I don't know where else to turn other than you to try and get this remedied. Friends have told me that parts are available but when I go on the Dodge owners app it says nothing is available. I need to get this fixed for peace of mind. My phone number and email is listed at the bottom.

There has been an open recall for my car since the first quarter of last year for the side curtain airbags. I have written to Dodge a number of times as well as contacted my dealer. Dodge has not responded to my emails in regards to getting this repaired. It seems as though that it's getting swept under the carpet and nothing's being done about it. The way the recall notice I received said that possible death could happen in as a result of the side curtain airbags suddenly deflating and shrapnel going into the car. That doesn't give me too much confidence in my car and I feel in light of that wording I should get some sort of response from Dodge.

The vehicles first issue I had was about a month of owning the vehicle , with the Uconnect infotainment system not wanting to turn off or on and being frozen with only showing a still image of the back camera. I fixed it after I disconnected the battery for about 2 minutes. Then I had a transmission problem which needed servicing not even a year into owning the vehicle. I had to go to the service center to have part replaced, took about a month to get replaced due to back order. Then in June of 2021 the car wouldn't go in reverse or drive. As if the emergency brake was on and wouldn't budge. Had to tow the car to the dealership and leave overnight. When the car was dropped off at the dealership it had to be shaken off the tow bed. Was called to come pick the care up the next day because "no issues were found and car is functioning properly". Now in April of 2022 the steering wheel makes a grinding sound as if it's chewing rocks inside. When it was taken to the dealership was advised the steering column would need to be replaced and the part would be available in the first week of May. When I called to follow up, they advised it would be in May 12th. I called to confirm if that was true and was told the part would now come May 26th. Called again and part won't be available until June 9th. When making turns in vehicle steering wheel sticks and power steering is disabled. feels like I'm going to crash or flip the vehicle.

I had my vehicle serviced for an oil change & inspection. But I also spoke with a dealership service rep regarding what I initially thought was some sort of electrical issue that has been intermittent almost since I purchased the vehicle from this dealership. Which is my radio going in and out and automatically changing the stations completely on it's on. The rep was very helpful in that she was familiar with the issue and informed me that it's a known issue at this point and the radio needs to be replaced. She informed me that the radio would have to be ordered and that if I had the extended warranty (which I did get on this car from your dealership) then my deductible would be either $100 or $200 that I would have to pay. She looked up my info and confirmed it would be the $100 that I would have to pay. However, when she went to actually submit for the replacement radio, the system did not allow her to and showed that for some reason my radio is not able to be replaced. The representative did tell me that should would have someone follow up regarding this. However there was never a followup until I called back into the dealership service center a few days later. And was told that the radio replacement is not covered & I would have to pay out of pocket. Was not given any explanation as to WHY. I definitely should not have to pay out of pocket (other than my deductible) to get something repaired that Dodge & Chrysler are well of is a known manufacturer issue at this point. And at this point I think a recall needs to be started regarding this issue.

THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WHEN I GOT A MESSAGE ON MY DASH SCREEN SAYING 'SERVICE SHIFTER'. IT DISAPPEARED AFTER ABOUT 3 SECONDS. NOTHING APPEARED AGAIN. THE CAR WAS ACTING FINE. TWO DAYS LATER THE CAR UNLOCKED BY THE REMOTE AND THEN WOULD NOT START. THE SHIFTER KNOB FLASHED RED MULTIPLE TIMES REPEATEDLY. I COULDN'T LOCK THE DOOR OR THE CAR WOULD AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK ALL DOORS AS IF I HAD THE KEY FOB INSIDE STILL. I COULD NOT START THE CAR, TURN ON ACCESSORIES OR SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR. I HAD POWER TO MY LIGHTS ETC. MY REMOTE WOULDN'T WORK FOR LOCKING OR UNLOCKING OR REMOTE START ANYMORE. I WAS ABLE TO EVENTUALLY START THE CAR AFTER UNHOOKING THE BATTERY CABLE AND REATTACHING IT. TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND WHILE IN DRIVE GOING DOWN THE ROAD ON A PUBLIC STREET IT AUTOMATICALLY SLAMMED THE CAR INTO PARK EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER HAD NOT BEEN MOVED. IT STARTED ACTING LIKE THE CAR WAS IN PARK WHEN I HAD BEEN DRIVING. THE SHIFTER ONCE AGAIN STARTED FLASHING RED MULTIPLES TIMES REPEATEDLY AND I COULD MOVE THE SHIFTER THIS TIME, BUT IT DID NOT REGISTER WITH THE CAR. IT STILL ACTED AS IF IT WAS IN PARK. I WAS ABLE TO RESET THE SYSTEM TEMPORARILY BY UNHOOKING THE BATTERY AND REATTACHING IT AGAIN TO GET IT HOME.

ODI #11306986SERVICE BRAKES

THE REAR BRAKE PADS DO NOT SWEEP THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE REAR ROTORS. NEARLY 25% OF THE REAR ROTOR IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH THE REAR BRAKE PADS. THIS DIMINISHES BRAKING FORCE AND MAKES THE REAR ROTOR INCOMPATIBLE WITH CURRENTLY AVAILABLE REPLACEMENT PADS. THIS DEFECT IS VISUALLY APPARENT WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. IT ALSO IMPACTS THE VEHICLES ABILITY TO COME TO A STOP WHILE IN MOTION. I SUSPECT THAT THE WRONG PARTS WERE INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER OR THERE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT PRESENT.

ODI #11302682SERVICE BRAKES

THE REAR BRAKE PADS DO NOT FIT CORRECTLY, THEY ARE UNDERSIZED. THERE IS A LARGE PORTION OF THE REAR ROTOR THAT IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH THE PAD. THIS IS CAUSING DAMAGE AND PREMATURE WEAR TO THE BRAKE ROTORS.

ODI #11302276SERVICE BRAKES

I HAVE THE 2019 DODGE SCAT PACK, BASE MODEL, NO OPTIONS. IT COMES WITH THE 4-PISTON BREMBO CALIPERS ON THE REAR WHEELS. THE FACTORY BRAKE PAD ONLY CONTACTS A LITTLE OVER HALF OF THE ROTOR. THIS IS ON BOTH REAR WHEELS, INSIDE AND OUTSIDE SURFACE. THIS EASILY REDUCES BRAKING FORCE BY HALF; MUCH MORE WHEN THE CAR IS FULLY LOADED. THE PADS DO NOT LOOK DAMAGED, JUST AN OBVIOUS DEFECT (SEE PICTURES COMPARED TO REPLACEMENT PAD). OTHER DODGE SCAT PACKS REPORT SIMILAR DEFECTS. I CONTACTED BREMBO BACK IN DECEMBER, AND AFTER MULTIPLE CONTACTS, NOTHING TO THIS DAY (EVEN THOUGH INITIALLY THEY SAID THEY'D CONTACT ME BACK IN A FEW DAYS SINCE THIS LOOKED UNUSUAL). I CONTACTED FCA, AND THEY HAD NO CLUE ABOUT THIS, SO I VISITED MY LOCAL PALMEN DODGE, RACINE, WI. THE PARTS MANAGER SAID HE'D NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE EITHER. WHEN WE LOOKED UP REPLACEMENT PADS, THEY WERE "NORMAL" LOOKING, LIKE THE ONE NEXT TO THE STOCK PAD THAT CAME WITH THE CAR. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS WEARING A WIDE GROOVE IN THE ROTOR, WHICH WILL THEN HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT I'D HAVE TO BUY IT MYSELF SINCE WEAR ITEMS ARE NOT COVERED. I HAVE CHANGED THIS PAD TYPE MANY TIMES, SINCE 2009, AND HAVE NEVER SEEN A PAD CUT BACK LIKE THIS. I AM WORRIED THAT IF I HAVE TO STOP QUICKLY, I WILL NOT GET FULL BRAKING IN THE REAR SINCE THE PADS ARE ONLY COVERING PART OF IT. SECONDLY, I WILL HAVE TO BUY TWO NEW REAR ROTORS, AND PADS, TO GET THE FULL STOPPING POWER THAT THE MANUFACTURER INTENDED. *LN*JB

Chart Analysis

The blue line shows 118 total NHTSA complaints filed over 8 years, with the worst year being 2025 (30 complaints).

The amber reliability line shows an improving trend — scores have risen from the earlier years toward 30/100 more recently, suggesting the most serious issues are older and may have been addressed through repairs or recalls.

Notably, despite 118 complaints on file, no recall has been issued — either the defect pattern has not met NHTSA's threshold for a formal campaign, or a recall may be forthcoming.

Red dots on the amber line flag 6 years (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) where complaints included crash events — these are the highest-severity incidents in the dataset.
