2012 Dodge CHARGER Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1507058
Internal NHTSA #	11141958

Brand	DODGE
Model	CHARGER
Model Year	2012
File date	18/10/18
Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Check engine light coming on - after scan, code p0128 appears indicating that the coolant thermostat had a fault. According to service tech, most common solution is to replace engine coolant temperature sensor (ect). This apparently is very a common error on all mopar engines model years 2006-2012 or so and this happens on a lot of them. Since this is apparently a mistake on mopar's part and is very common for this year, make, and model, it should be paid for at the dealers expense. I was surprised to hear this was a somewhat known issue but that no recall has been enacted for it.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
