2013 Dodge Charger Transmission Problems

Your car's transmission output shaft may be fractured, which could cause a sudden loss of power while driving and increase crash risk. Additionally, your vehicle may roll away even when the transmission is in park if you don't engage the parking brake before exiting. Warning lights have appeared on your dashboard. This issue requires inspection and repair of the transmission output shaft and potentially the transmission assembly itself.

After stopping at a red light and pressing the accelerator to make a left turn, your vehicle wouldn't respond or move forward. A dealer inspection found that the output shaft in your transmission had failed, requiring replacement of both the transmission and transfer case. This happened at about 124,000 miles, and while there's a related recall for this issue, your vehicle's VIN wasn't included.

Your car's shifter module, which was replaced under a recall in 2016, started automatically shifting into sport mode without warning starting in November 2022. When you took it to the dealership for replacement, they couldn't find a new Mopar shifter module because Chrysler stopped manufacturing them, so they installed a used one instead—which is also shifting into lower gears automatically and unexpectedly. You're concerned this creates a safety hazard for you and others on the road. The dealership may need to contact Chrysler for alternative repair solutions or parts availability options, as aftermarket replacements aren't currently available for this specific module.

When you shift your car from Park to Drive or from Drive to Reverse while parked, you hear clicking and thumping noises coming from the transmission area. This happens consistently in both directions. A mechanic will likely need to inspect the transmission mount, shifter linkage, or internal transmission components to identify the source of the noise.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT WAS FORCED TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY HOWEVER, AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A FAMILY MEMBER'S RESIDENCE WHERE IT REMAINED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,563. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

BRAKES- TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE OF MY CAR ISN'T HEATED UP TO THE THIRD LINE. ENGINE- LOUD TICKING. MECHANIC SAID 1 OUT OF 12 LIFTERS IN DRIVER'S SIDE CYLINDER HAS COLLAPSED. POWER TRAIN- WHEN I ACCELERATE IN OVER DRIVE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR A COUPLE DAYS. WHEN I DIAGNOSE IT, IT SAYS TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE. (OVERDRIVE FAILURE) SO I'M GUESSING I HAVE NO OVERDRIVE UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHUTS BACK OFF. (WHO KNOWS) DODGE/CHRYSTLER NEEDS TO CHECK INTO THE QUALITY OF THE CARS THEY'RE PRODUCING. I WILL NEBER BUY ANOTHER DODGE/CHRYSTLER/JEEP

STARTED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. WHEN GOING FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR CAR RPM WOULD SPIKE HIGH THEN VIOLENTLY SHIFT GEARS. PAST FEW MONTHS IT'S STARTING TO DO IT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR ALSO. ALSO SOMETIMES WILL NOT DOWN SHIFT TO FIRST GEAR AFTER COMING TO COMPLETE STOP. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WILL START OFF IN SECOND GEAR WILL NOT SHIFT FROM 3RD TO 4TH AT ALL AND WILL NOT LET YOU SHIFT MANUALLY. HAVE TO PULL OVER PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN CAR OFF. THIS HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM IN THE PAST BUT IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND DODGE REALLY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO MAKING THINGS RIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED SHE WAS TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB WHICH FAILED TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HER RESIDENCE AND THEN TOWED TO BLUFF ROAD AUTO SALES LOCATED AT 1400 BLUFF RD, COLUMBIA, SC 29201, (803) 451-0334, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE BATTERY CABLE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD THE REPAIRS COMPLETED BUT CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED AT A LATER DATE, WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE USED CAR DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000. INVALID VIN.

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT HAD A TICK I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WHAT WAS THAT THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A (HEMI TICK) THAT ALL CHARGERS HAD THAT SOUND SO I DROVE IT TO AROUND 100, 000 MILES AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT BEGIN TO MAKE THIS LOUD NOISE SOUNDING LIKE A TRUCK . I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME MY NUMBER 3 PLUG OR WHATEVER IT'S CALLED WAS MISFIRING TOOK IT TO CROWN DODGE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST ME 8,599 TO FIX THIS PROBKEM THAT I ALWAYS HAD. NOW I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME BEFORE LOOKING AT IT WHAT WAS WRONG COME TO FIND OUT I HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE AS EVERY SHERIFF IN OUR TOWN AND HE HAS FIXED EVERYONE OF THEIR VEHICLES WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THIS SOUNDS LIKE A PROBLEM THAT IS GOING ON WITH A LOT OF THESE CHARGERS AND THIS IS JUST WEIRD TO ME IT'S NO COINCIDENCE THAT I HAVE TALKED TO AT LEAST 20 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR AS MINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE I WAS DRIVING

P60 RECALL: YESTERDAY, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR 2013 DODGE CHARGER WHEN THE BATTERY LIKE CAME ON. NOTHING ELSE HAPPENED THEN, BUT ABOUT 15 SECONDS LATER - - EVERYTHING ON THE DASH STARTED FLASHING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON, THE CAR STARTED TO JERK AND THEN EVERYTHING DIED. HE MANAGED TO COAST INTO OUR DRIVEWAY - LUCKILY WAS HEADED HOME FROM WORK AND ONLY DOING 20MPH. NO WARNING - NO NOTHING. JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN - ENTIRE SYSTEM FAILURE. NO POWER STEERING OR ANYTHING. KIND OF A ELECTRICAL SMELL IN THE CAR. AT FIRST, WE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THE BATTERY WAS LOOSE OR SOMETHING OR BAD GROUND. CHECKED THAT. TRIED JUMPING - TERMINALS STARTED SMOKING. DID A SEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT OUR VIN IS SHOWING AN UNREPAIRED P60 RECALL. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING - NOW BEING TOLD THAT IT MAY BE THE P60 RECALL, BUT WE CAN'T KNOW UNTIL WE GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP - WHO - COINCIDENTALLY HAS NO APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE FOR A WEEK, DOES NOT PROVIDE LOANER CARS (OR FREE RENTAL), AND MAY OR MAY NOT COVER THE TOWING. I THEN CONTACTED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD BE THE RECALL, BUT THEY DO NOT PROVIDE RENTALS OR LOANERS. WHAT? SO - - THEY KNOW THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE IN 1/2 A MILLION VEHICLES, BUT THEY ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT OTHER THAN TO SWITCH THE PART OUT? VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE ON DODGE'S PART AND I WILL BE PURSUING THIS FURTHER, ONCE WE HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE PART NUMBER ON THE ALTERNATOR IS THE CORRECT PART NUMBER FOR THE RECALL. I AM NOT WAITING TO GET IT UP THERE FOR THEM TO MYSTERIOUSLY LOSE THE PART OR EVEN BETTER - PRETEND THAT IT ISN'T THE RIGHT PART NUMBER. I AM FEELING VERY UNTRUSTING OF DODGE RIGHT NOW!

THE NUMBER 6 PISTON IS MISFIRING AND CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK. THE PART IN OTHER 2013 CHARGERS HAS BEEN RECALLED , MINE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE , BUT NOT ON RECALL LIST. IT HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY THE MOST , BUT DOES HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING TOO. IT HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND ON HIGHWAYS.

THE CAR HAS NO GET UP AND GO! THERE ARE MILLIONS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS! DRIVING THE CAR WILL GO IN D1 BY ITSELF! CAR RUNS ROUGH AT TIMES AND GOOD AT TIMES ... I TOOK THE CAR TO DODGE SEVERAL TIMES ABS THEY KEEP SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR HAD IT FOR 8 MONTHS AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2013 DODGE CHARGER BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER I WOULD LIKE WITH SOMEBODY TO LOOK INTO THIS THANK YOU

I BROUGHT THIS 2013 DODGE CHARGER WITH 86,000 MILES USED IN 10/20/2016 FROM SOUTH CHICAGO DODGE AND WHEN I GOT IT, THE CAR USED TO JERK WHEN ACCELERATING AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE CAR PROBLEM THAT I HAD. 1ST TIME THEY HAD FIX THE TRANSMISSION, 2ND, TIME THE HAD PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN AND NOW 2018 ITS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, ITS JUST SOMTHING WITH THIS TRANSMISSION OR WUT EVER ITS CONNECTED TO KEEPS BURNING OUT OR KEEPS DAMAGING THE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T KNOW BUT I HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 75 MPH WHEN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP. THE VEHICLE JUST PASSED 100,000 MILES.

MY CAR STILL MOVES AFTER PLACING DODGE CHARGER SE VIN: [XXX] INTO PARK ALONG WITH EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE THEN TURNING OFF MOTOR. THE CAR STILL MOVES ON IT'S OWN, SOMETIMES EVEN AFTER SITTING OVER NIGHT. I START TO OPEN ONE OF MY DOORS AND THE CAR STARTS MOVING ON IT'S OWN. ALL OF THIS IS DONE WHILE BEING PARKED ON "EVEN SURFACES", SUCH AS MY DRIVEWAY AT HOME (STATIONARY WITH MOTOR OFF. PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE. IT'S BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR BRAND NEW. I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU. [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON MY WAY HOME FROM RENO, NV I WAS GETTING ONTO THE I-80 FREEWAY WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY AND THE CAR MANUALLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL ( IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY) THE CAR BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER AND THEN THERE WAS A LOUD BANG IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY, I CLOSE TO AN EXIT AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF. THE CAR RMPS WERE VERY NIGHT THOUGH THE CAR WAS STALLED. THE DEALER LATER DIAGNOSED THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. SO FAR I'VE HAD 6 RECALLS WITH THIS CAR AND 3 REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY.

AT TIMES WHEN DRIVING EITHER ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION WILL DOWNSHIFT TO LOW GEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. EX: I'M DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGH SPEEDS AND I HEAR THAT SOUND...LIKE IT HAS BEEN THROWN IN 1ST GEAR. AT TIMES HAVE BEEN DRIVING 60+ MPH WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE ONLY WAY TO "RESET" IS TO HURRY AND PULL OVER AND RESTART VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT SPORADICALLY, DURING THE PAST COUPLE YEARS. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO IN APRIL 2018. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COMES ON. I NOTICE A RECALL FOR TRANSMISSIONS, BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW IT IS NEEDED ON MY MODEL CAR.

AS DRIVING UP THE HIGHWAY MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER JERKED AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD THERE WAS A MESSAGE THAT SAID 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION SHUT OFF ENGINE TO ENGAGE PARK' MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS ALSO ON. I PULLED OVER BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK. I TRIED TO PULL BACK OFF TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED, TRAFFICS WAS APPROACHING AND THERE IS WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TRYING PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL TO HURRY AND MOVE BEFORE THE COMING TRAFFICK MADE IT TO ME, IT WAS AN 18 WHEELER. I COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD TODAY DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND I'M NOT WONDERING WHY THERE IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

I'VE CHECK WITH JIM BURKE DODGE SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THE RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION FOR MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER. AS OF TODAY JANUARY 15, 2018 NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I'M BEING TOLD THEIR ISN'T A FIX AT THIS TIME.

I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A LEGAL U-TURN, WHEN TRYING TO PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE, I STEP ON THE GAS ONLY TO REALIZE THE SHIFTER POPPED BACK INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK. WHEN MAKING A U-TURN THERE IS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BY THE TIME I'M ABLE TO COMPLETE THE U-TURN AND PLACE THE GEAR INTO REVERSE THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I'VE BEEN BEHIND SOME BIG TRUCKS THAT DECIDE THEY WANT TO BACK UP. WITH A NORMAL SHIFTER YOU CAN QUICKLY PLACE THE CAR INTO REVERSE. WITH THIS SHIFTER I FEEL I'M GOING TO GET HIT. THIS POPPING OUT OF REVERSE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SHIFTER. I LIKE THE CAR ALTHOUGH I'VE HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MANY REPAIRS AND IT'S ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. THIS CAR I FEEL MAY GET ME IN AN ACCIDENT OR KILL ME BY NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT QUICKLY ENOUGH. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO UNTIL I GOT YOUR WEBSITE. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT WHEN YOU CAN'T PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE BECAUSE IT POPS OUT. THANK YOU *TR

THE FIRST TIME IT SCRAPED MY SIDE FENCE AND THE SECOND UNTIL IT HIT MY CHAIN LINK GATE- BENDING THE POSTS AND TAKING THE FENCE GATE OFF THE POSTS. THE FENCE GATE THEM PROCEEDED TO FALL ON TOP OF THE HOOD OF THE CAR. BECAUSE I WAS GATHERING MY ITEMS OFF THE SEAT I DIDN'T NOTICE THE CAR MOVING UNTIL I HEARD THE CRUNCHING SOUND.

I HAVE TWO VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO BOTH VEHICLES. FROM A STOP TO INCREASE SPEED, TRANSMISSION STICKS IN FIRST GEAR. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED TO EITHER STOP AND START AGAIN OR PLACE IN NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY "AWD" CHARGER DOWN MY HILL IN THE MIDDLE OF A SNOW STORM MY "AWD" SYSTEM FAILED ON ME AND ILLUMINATED A MESSAGE STATING "SERVICE AWD". I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED AND AWD WAS STILL UNAVAILABLE. WITH ONLY RWD I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH IT SPINNING OUT MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE SYSTEM HOWEVER WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP THE SYSTEM BEGAN FUNCTIONING AGAIN AFTER SHUTTING MY CAR OFF THERE AND TURNING IT BACK ON. THE TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS ANYONE COULD BE DRIVING AND HAVE THE AWD SYSTEM FAIL ON THEM AT ANY GIVEN POINT INTERMITTENTLY OR PERMANENTLY AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED MORE DEEPLY. *TR

HAVING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH MY CHARGER WHICH ONLY HAS 7300 MILES ON IT. LIKE OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED, WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR WILL JUMP FORWARD. FEELS LIKE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING LATE. THEN WHEN DRIVING AND GETTING UP TO SPEED, THE RPMS WILL JUMP UP BUT THE CAR DOES NOT SPEED UP. THE LAST TIME THE RPMS INCREASED, I QUICKLY TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL, AND THE RPMS CONTINUED TO RISE TO 5K. BOTH ISSUES HAPPEN SPORADICALLY. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER 2X. FIRST TIME THEY HAD FOR 2 DAYS, REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION AND SAID THEY FIXED IT. I TOOK IT HOME OVER THE WEEKEND AND BOTH ISSUES STILL HAPPENED. TOOK CAR BACK IN ON MONDAY AND THIS TIME THEY HAD IT FOR 4 DAYS AND GAVE ME A RENTAL CAR. TODAY I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM (VALVE BODY SEPARATE PLATE PART) AND IS WORKING ON A FIX. THE PART/FIX WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE AT END OF MAY/EARLY JUNE, BUT SINCE IT'S ALREADY 6/5, OBVIOUSLY THAT DATE WAS NOT AN ACCURATE TIME FRAME. (STAR CASE NO. S1421000013 DATE 4/9/14) THE DEALERSHIP STATES THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX THIS UNTIL THE PART IS AVAILABLE. THEY COULD NOT LET ME KEEP THE RENTAL CAR (WARRANTY COVERAGE TIME MAX OUT), AND GAVE ME BACK MY CHARGER TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY CAN FIX IT. I WORRY ABOUT THE PROBLEMS AND WHAT ELSE COULD GO WRONG, OR IF THE RPMS WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH MY SPEED, CAUSE A WRECK, OR JUST CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE TRANS/ENGINE. NOT A HAPPY NEW CAR OWNER. *TR

WHEN STOPPING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE LURCHES BADLY RIGHT BEFORE IT STOPS. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOT A FIX UNTIL THE END OF MAY/EARLY JUNE. WE WERE TOLD TO PICK UP THE CAR AND CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT UNTIL SOMEBODY NOTIFIES US. IT IS VERY ALARMING EVERY TIME YOU GO TO STOP. *TR

CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2013 BUT AS OF TODAY CANNOT TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS UNREASONABLE. ALSO, THEY HAVE NOT ONCE TOLD ME WHETHER OR NOT IT IS SAFE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE AT THIS POINT I SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO A FULL REFUND ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR
