2013 DODGE CHARGER Electrical System Problems

The abs module lights came on and is not functioning properly. I contacted the dealership and the part has been on back order for years. The abs light, traction, and brake light is on simultaneously. Subsequently my wheel is locked up causing my car to not move at all and brake pedal has no pressure.

Vehicle: 2013 Dodge Charger R/T I’m reaching out because my car has been showing signs that seem to match the symptoms of the V62 recall that FCA issued for the fuel pump relay issue. I have a 2013 Dodge Charger R/T with the 5.7L HEMI engine. Lately, the car has been having trouble starting, especially after it’s been driven and sits in the heat. Sometimes it cranks but won’t turn over, and other times it randomly dies or stalls when I’m coming to a stop. It recently sat for a couple of days and then started again like nothing happened. This keeps happening on and off, and I’ve noticed it’s worse when it’s really hot outside or after it’s been driving a lot I took it to the dealership and they said my specific VIN isn’t part of the recall, but I wanted to report this because it really seems like the same issue. From what I’ve read, the V62 recall had to do with a faulty fuel pump relay that’s built into the TIPM and causes exactly these kinds of problems. I understand not all vehicles were included, but since I’m having the same symptoms and my car matches the year, make, and engine that recall applied to, I think it’s something that should be looked into. I’d really appreciate it if this could be reviewed. I just want to make sure my vehicle is safe and functioning properly, especially since the stalling can be risky depending on where and when it happens.

Power train, transmission output shaft fracture could result in a loss of power, increasing the risk of a crash. if the parking brake is not applied before exiting the vehicle, the vehicle may roll away despite the transmission being placed in park. The vehicle has been inspected. There are warning lights. They appeared 02/29/2024

Power steering locks up, power steering fuses have blown three times in less than three months and there are thumping noises and vibrations when making turns.

THERE IS A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WERE IT IS CAUSING DIFFERENT SENSORS TO GO OFF,AND ON ALSO CAUSING THE AIR /AC TO NOT WORK THEN COME BACK ON. I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY CAR TO PROFESSIONALS AT CERTIFIED CAR SHOPS FOR THE PROBLEM AND HAVE SPENT ALOT OF MONEY TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM..

BLUETOOTH IS NOT WORKING IN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES. NEEDS A VERY EXPENSIVE MODULE TO BE REPLACED. THIS ALONE CAN CAUSE NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE DEATH DUE TO USING YOUR CELL PHONE NOT ON BLUETOOTH!

WHILE DRIVING MY BATTERY LIGHT COME ON. THAT IS DUE TO ALTERNATOR MALFUNCTION. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPEN ALL MY ELECTRICAL DEVICES WHERE GOING ON AND OFF. AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND UNLOCKED DUE TO BEING A ELECTRONIC STEERING. WHAT I DID I TRIED TO PULL OVER AND STOP AT A SAFE PLACE AND WAITING AND THE VEHICLE WHEN BACK TO NORMAL MODE EXCEPT THE BATTERY LIGHT STAYED ON AND THE MESSAGE IN MY CLUSTER THAT SAID "BATTERY SAFE MODE". SO I WENT BACK HOME AND CHECKED THE VOLTAGE ON MY BATTERY THAT READ 11.8 TO 12.3. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL OF THE ALTERNATOR. THE DEALER REPLACED IT AND SAID IT'S OK NOW. I TOOK IT HOME AND ON THE WAY HOME IT HAPPEN AGAIN AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND GOT IT CHECKED. AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND CORROSION THE SIGNAL PLUG OF THE ALTERNATOR. THEY CLEANED IT AND SAID IT OK NOW. A WEEK PASSED BY AND IT HAPPEN AGAIN ALL ELECTRICAL STARTED TO TURN ON AND OFF INCLUDING THE STEERING LOCKING UP AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. AND I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN TO THE DEALER. AND NOW THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO CHARGE ME TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE IF IT'S NOT THE ALTERNATOR. CHARGING SYSTEM IS NOT PART OF THE ALTERNATOR AND THEY CHARGE FOR THAT ISSUE. ISN'T THE CHARGING SYSTEM PART OF THE ALTERNATOR LIKE THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR THAT IS IN THE PCM? IF THAT IS A BAD COMPONENT AND MAKING THE ALTERNATOR MALFUNCTION IT'S A PROBLEM FOR NOT MAKING ANY CURRENT. ALL THIS HAPPEN IN MOTION ON STREET AND ON HIGHWAY. ALL THIS STARTED ON JUNE 3 2020 TILL NOW JUNE 25 2020. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND WENT INTO ANTI THEFT MODE. I PRESSED MY IGNITION BUTTON TO START IT UP AND IT WOULDN'T START AT ALL. I CALLED BOTH DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND THEY TOLD ME IT MIGHT BE THAT MY KEY LOST PROGRAMMING OR IT WAS MY WIN MODULE.

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!

I STARTED MY CAR BY THE FACTORY INSTALLED REMOTE STARTER AND WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT AND I HEARD A HIGH PITCHED HUM COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND THE 'BATTERY SAVER ON' LIGHT WAS ON. I STARTED TO DRIVE AND THE CAR WAS REALLY SLUGGISH ALMOST TO THE POINT IF I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IT WOULD SHUT DOWN. I DROVER THAT WAY FOR ABOUT 2 MILES AND DURING THAT TIME I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR BY USING THE PUSH BUTTON AND THE MESSAGE WAS GONE, BUT ONCE THE CAR WAS PUT INTO DRIVE THE BATTERY SAVER MESSAGE CAME ON AND BURNING SMELL WAS BACK. . I HAD THE CAR TOWED INTO THE ELGIN JEEP DODGE DEALERSHIP ON A FRIDAY NIGHT (ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER EVERYTHING HAPPENED) AND ON MONDAY I WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING SHOWED UP AND THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE ALTERNATOR BUT SINCE NO ERROR CODES SHOWED THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL (#T36/ NHTSA 17V-435) FOR THE ALTERNATOR. THEY TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD TAKE THE CAR BACK AND HOPE THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN AND WHEN THE PARTS COME IN FOR THE RECALL COME BACK AND GET IT FIX THEN. I DID CONTACT FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES (FCA) TO TRY AND GET IT TEMPORARY FIX BUT DUE TO THERE BEING NO ERROR CODES THEY WILL NOT FIX ANYTHING. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE FCA WILL NOT FIX ANYTHING UNTIL THE CAR STARTS ON FIRE. I DRIVE ABOUT 40 MILES A DAY ON AN EXPRESSWAY WHERE SPEEDS ARE ABOUT 60-70 MPH, I DON'T FEEL SAFE THAT THE ALTERNATOR WILL JUST GO AND THE CAR WILL STOP. I FEEL THAT SINCE THERE WAS A SIGN OF ISSUES THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE FIXED.

ALTERNATOR RECALL ON MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER. PARTS UNAVAILABLE FOR YEARS. NO COMMUNICATION FROM DODGE.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 17V-435 ANNOUNCED (6/9/2017) THE ALTERNATOR MAY EXPERIENCE DIODE THERMAL FATIGUE FAILURE DUE TO CYCLICAL LOADS INDUCED BY ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING. ATTEMPTS TO ARRANGE ADDRESSING THIS RECALL WITH DODGE DEALERSHIPS IN PORT JERVIS (PORT JERVIS AUTO MALL & MANHATTAN JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE) IN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER 2017 BOTH WERE UNSUCCESSFUL, WITH BOTH DEALERSHIPS INDICATING THEY WERE NOT BEING SUPPLIED WITH THE REPLACEMENT ALTERNATORS BY DODGE, AND THEREFORE COULD NOT CARRY OUT THE RECALL SERVICE. PORT JERVIS AUTO MALL SAID THAT I COULD PURCHASE THE REPLACEMENT ALTERNATOR AND PAY FOR THE SERVICE TO REPLACE IT, SUBMIT THE RECEIPTS TO DODGE, BUT THAT THEY COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT DODGE WOULD REIMBURSE IF DONE THIS WAY. I HAVE LEARNED THAT FAILURE OF THIS DIODE AND THE ALTERNATOR WHILE DRIVING COULD RESULT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTTING DOWN, LOSING POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, WITH HIGH DANGER OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WHY IS DODGE NOT ADDRESSING THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION?

ALTERNATOR RECALL. ENGINE INTERIORS LIGHTS FLASH WHILE OFF, CAR INTERMITTENTLY WILL GO OFF. POWER STEERING NOT AVAILABLE. CHRYSLER MECHANICS WOULD NOT LOOK INTO MY POWER STEERING ISSUES. TOLD ME MY ALTERNATOR IS FINE. I DO NOT FEEL MY ALTERNATOR IS FINE AND WANT IT REPLACED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND SMELLED AN ODOR SIMILAR TO ELECTRICAL BURNING. INDICATORS APPEARED FOR LOW BATTERY/SAVE BATTERY MODE IN THE DASH. TOOK CAR TO ADVANCED AUTO AND WHILE TESTING BATTERY, WHITE SMOKE WAS BILLOWING FROM NEAR ENGINE. MECHANIC REPAIRED BAD ALTERNATOR WHICH WAS THE PROBLEM. CALLED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AFTER SEEING RECALL ON 2013 DODGE CHARGERS BUT MY SPECIFIC CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE RECALL. CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES AT TIME OF INCIDENT.

AS I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF MY JOB, I GOT A MESSAGE ON MY DASHBOARD SAYING "BATTERY SAVER MODE" AND THE SYMBOLS OF ABS AND THE ELECTRICAL STABILITY CONTROL ICONS LIT UP. I THEN HEARD A STRANGE NOISE AS IF THE CAR WAS IN THE WRONG GEAR. I TRIED TO MAKE A CALL WITH MY BLUETOOTH HANDS FREE AND THEN IT STOPPED WORKING. AFTER DRIVING A MILE, I PULLED OVER TO A GAS STATION AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. I EXPLAINED THE SYMBOLS THAT WERE ON AND THE NOISES. I WAS ASSURED THE WARNINGS LIGHTS WERE JUST A CAUTION AND I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY CAR BREAKING DOWN IF I WANTED TO BRING MY CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPT. AFTER ENDING MY CALL, MY AC WENT OUT AND THEN MY CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD NO POWER AND HAD TO CALL A TOWING COMPANY TO HAUL MY CAR TO THE DEALER. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO DROP IT OFF AS THEY WERE CLOSING FOR THE DAY BUT I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL DESCRIBING THE SAME THING THAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME. AFTER RESEARCHING RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE, I NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALLED 160 AMP ALTERNATOR (P60 RECALL). THIS ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING WITH MORE THAN JUST WHAT CHRYSLER IS REPORTING. MY VEHICLE IS AN 180 AMP ALTERNATOR AND MEETS THE SAME RISKS LISTED FOR A RECALL.

Mileage: 1

VEHICLE WILL STATE "BATTERY SAVER MODE" AND START A HIGH PITCHED WHIRRING NOSE. AT THIS POINT THE ALTERNATOR WILL EITHER GET STUCK OR SHORT AND WILL BEGIN TO OVERHEAT FOLLOWED BY A DRAINED BATTER AND STALLING OF THE CAR. IN MY INSTANCE I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE MESSAGE STATING "BATTERY SAVER MODE" TURNED ON THEN STARTED TURNING OFF AND ON THE RADIO, SIGNALING LOW BATTERY, ABS ACTIVE WITH THEM TURNING ON AN OFF BEFORE THE HIGH PITCHED SOUND BEGAN FROM THE ENGINE. I DROVE 2 BLOCKS TO MY JOB PARKED AND SMOKE BILLOWED FROM UNDER THE HOOD DIRECTLY FROM THE ALTERNATOR. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND ALLOWED IT THE SMOKING TO STOP. ONCE IT WAS OFF I NOTICED ALL POWER IN THE CAR WAS DRAINED AND IT WOULD NOT TURN ON IN ANY WAY OR EVEN OPEN THE TRUNK. IT WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO CONFIRMED AN ISSUE WITH THE ALTERNATOR AND HAD TO REPLACE IT WITH A 180AMP ALTERNATOR TO SOLVE THE ISSUE.

WHEN DRIVING ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON.ALL THE OTHER LIGHTS START FLASHING AND LOOSING POWER.WAS ABLE TO PARK IN A PARKING LOT.THE CAR SHUT DOWN.I WAS TOLD AT THE PART STORE THE BATTERY WAS GOOD BUT LOW PROBABLY BECAUSE THE ALTERNATOR OR LEFT LIGHTS ON IN CAR.I CHARGE BATTERY AND DROVE HOME ABOUT 3 MINS AWAY.SMOKE WAS COMMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD.IT WAS COMMING FROM MY ALTERNATER.A DAY EALIER IT SMELL LIKE ACID AND IT WAS SKIPPING A LITTLE BIT.I THOUGHT IT WAS TIME FOR A TUNE UP.

I HAD A PRIOR ISSUE WITH MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER WHEN MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND THE ALTERNATOR WENT ON IT AND IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT FOR HER TO TURN THE CAR CONSIDERING SHE IS A TINY WOMAN. I CONTACTED THE NHTSA AND I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING WAS DONE ABOUT IT BECAUSE A MONTH LATER MY CHARGER HAD A RECALL FOR THE ALTERNATOR. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN, THE ONLY THING IS THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING THE CAR BUT IT WAS STILL A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL A 5000 POUND CAR WITH NO POWER STEERING BECAUSE THE ALTERNATOR IS GONE ON IT. I REPLACED MY BATTERY AND I KNOW IT IS NOT THAT. THE CAR IS BASICALLY NEW AND I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THESE ISSUES AND IT IS ALSO DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN A CAR IS GOING TO JUST SHUT OFF ON YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHT, OR RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, ANYWHERE THAT IT CAN BE DANGEROUS TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I SENT DODGE AND EMAIL TONIGHT, HOPING TO GET AN ANSWER BACK WITHIN A FEW DAYS, BUT FOR THE MOST PART RIGHT NOW I WILL HAVE TO TAKE AN UBER TO WORK OR WHERE EVER I NEED TO GO. BUT THIS IS AN INCONVENIENCE TO A LOT OF OWNERS BECAUSE I HAVE READ A LOT OF BAD REVIEWS ON THE ALTERNATOR FOR THIS CAR. IF THEY ARE REPLACING THE ALTERNATORS WITH THE SAME FIRST ONE THEY USED, IT MAKES NO SENSE BECAUSE IT IS JUST GOING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS.

MY DODGE CHARGER HEMI 5.7 ROAD AND TRACK HAS LESS THAN 15,000 MILES ON IT. WE TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE SEVERAL RECALL REPAIRS DONE. DROVE CAR HOME, IT SAT IN GARAGE FOR MAYBE 3 DAYS, WENT TO START THE CAR, EVIC WAS WHITE AND CAR WOULD NOT START. TRIED TO START NEXT DAY AND NONE OF THE LIGHTS WOULD EVEN COME ON, TOTALLY DEAD. USED JUMPER CABLES ON IT, STILL WILL NOT START. HAD TO LET THE GOOD CAR STAY RUNNING AND REVVING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON FOR ALMOST 20 MINUTES, WHILE TRYING TO START THE CHARGER SEVERAL TIMES, THE LIGHTS AND EVIC CAME ON BUT WOULD NOT START. THE NEXT DAY, TRIED JUMPING AGAIN SAME AS ABOVE, LET GOOD CAR RUN FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 15-20 MINUTES, CAR STARTED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. DROVE CHARGER TO AUTOZONE AND LEFT RUNNING, HAD SOMEONE COME OUT AND PUT A METER ON THE + AND - TERMINALS AND WAS TOLD THE ALTERNATOR IS BAD, NOT CHARGING THE BATTERY. AFRAID TO DRIVE BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CAR COULD SUDDENLY JUST DIE WHILE DRIVING IT. THAT CERTAINLY WOULD NOT BE SAFE. WE WILL BE TAKING THE CAR BACK TO A DEALERSHIP FOR THE LATEST RECALL FOR THE ENGINE TIMING CHAIN AND CHAIN GUIDE ISSUE. THIS ALTERNATOR IS THE 180-AMP ALTERNATOR. WITH LESS THAN 15,000 MILES THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. WE WILL BE LETTING DODGE KNOW HOW DISAPPOINTED WE ARE THAT THEY HAVE NOT INCLUDED THIS 5.7L ENGINE AND ALTERNATOR IN THE RECALL THEY HAVE DONE FOR THE 6-CYLINDER ENGINE, AS I HAVE RESEARCHED IT AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE ON THEIR 5.7L CHARGERS.

CURRENTLY HAVING AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS FOR THE SAME LIGHTS. TWICE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD DO SOMETHING FUNNY AND THE THOSE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON. THE SECOND TIME(CURRENTLY AND OCCURRED ON JUNE 4TH) THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. THE FIRST TIME THE ABS AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS TOLD IT WAS A ABS SENSOR, AND I PAID THE DEALERSHIP $250.00. THIS TIME LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER, THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING IT IS YET ANOTHER SENSOR CAUSING THOSE LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE. AND AS FAR AS THE AIRBAG GOES, IT'S FAULTY WIRING AND THAT IT NEEDED ANOTHER WIRING HARNESS. THESE REPAIRS WOULD COST ME OVER $600.00. I HAVE TWO FRIENDS THAT HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE AND ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A OVERALL DODGE ISSUE AS FAR AS THE CHARGERS GO.

A RECALL WAS SENT OUT FOR THE ALTERNATOR, I TRIED SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THE WORK DONE AND THEY NEVER HAD THE PART. RECENTLY I WAS OUT DRIVING THE CAR AND IT SHUTOFF AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR BEGAN TO FLASH ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY. I HAD TO CALL THE TOW TRUCK TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WAS INOPERABLE. ONCE THE DEALERSHIP DID THEIR DIAGNOSIS THEY NOTIFIED ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND IT CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DIE. HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE ALTERNATOR BUT I HAD TO COME OUT OF THE POCKET FOR THE BATTERY. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THE BATTERY DIED DUE TO THE BAD ALTERNATOR AND HE STATED THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW THAT STILL INSISTING THAT I PAY FOR THE BATTERY. I CALLED FOR TWO DAYS STRAIGHT TRYING TO CONTACT THE SERVICE MANAGER BUT NO ONE EVER CONTACTED ME. THEREFORE I'M REACHING OUT TO YOUR COMPANY TO FIND OUT IS IT FAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR A BATTERY THAT DIED DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR GOING OUT. THE CAR LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FLASH AND THE GAUGES CONTINUED TO GO IN ALL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS EVEN WHEN THE TOW COMPANY TOWED THE CAR. THE BATTERY THAT WAS IN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED DIRECTLY FROM DODGE LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ASSIST ME?

MY VEHICLE HAS A SAFETY RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR SINCE NOVEMBER 2014, THE ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE. I CALLED CHRYSLER THE NEXT DAY TO INFORM THEM OF THIS EVENT AND I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND PUT ON A LIST. I USE MY CAR DAILY FOR WORK AND CAN'T BE WITHOUT IT SO I AM WONDERING HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET IN PARTS TO FIX IT. MY CHILDREN AND I ARE IN DANGER EVERY TIME WE HAVE TO GO SOME WHERE UNTIL THIS MATTER IS RESOLVED. *TR

I AM IN RECEIPT OF SAFETY RECALL P60/NHTSA 14V-634 I OWN A 2013 DODGE CHARGER SE 3.6L ENGINE, WA580 5-SPD TRANSMISSION. ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 2015, WHILE TRAVELING FROM LA VALLE, WI TO TOMAH, WI, I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 2015, I EMAILED A NOTE TO CHRYSLER ASSISTANCE THAT I HAD RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF RECALL ABOUT 2 MONTHS PRIOR, WITH NO FURTHER COMMUNICATIONS FROM CHRYSLER. ON SUNDAY, FEB 1, 2015, TRAVELING ROUND TRIP FROM TOMAH, WI TO LA VALLE, WI AND BACK, I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. ON MONDAY, FEB 2, 2015, I HAD MY CAR IN FOR A REGULAR SCHEDULED SERVICING. I ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE RECALL, TO WHICH THEY INDICATED THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT IT, BUT DID NOT HAVE ANY NEW INFORMATION EITHER. THEY OFFERED TO LOAD TEST MY BATTERY, WHICH WAS FINE, INDICATING THAT I COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR. LATER IN THE DAY ON FEB 2, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM CHRYSLER ASSISTANCE INDICATING THAT MY COMPLAINT HAD BEEN FORWARDED TO THEIR SPECIAL TRACKING DEPARTMENT, AND THAT ONCE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, I WOULD BE NOTIFIED. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO LOOK INTO WHY CHRYSLER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO ARRANGE EITHER A BETTER PART OR AN ALTERNATE SOLUTION TO REMEDY THE RECALL. I DO NOT NORMALLY DRIVE THE CAR MUCH AFTER DARK, BUT TO BE STALLED SOMEWHERE OUT IN THE COUNTRY WHEN IT'S 20- ZERO OUTSIDE WOULD PUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY YOUNG DAUGHTER NEEDLESSLY AT RISK. *TR

THEY SAID THERE IS NO REMEDY YET BUT THEY WILL PUT A NEW DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR ON MY CAR LEAVING ME IN THE SAME SITUATION IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED.

DODGE WILLNOT GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR SINCE I AM 900 MILES OVER WARRANTY BUT THIS IS A RECALL SO IM STUCK WITH NO CAR AND EVEN WHEN I GET IT BACK IT IS STILL DEFECTIVE. PLEASE HELP! *TR

MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER HAD IT'S ALTERNATOR FAIL AT AROUND 12000 MILES BACK IN MAY OF 2014. I SEE THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOW RECALLED THE CAR (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000) FOR THE SAME ISSUE. HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER FROM THEM IN REGARDS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE DEALER FIXED THE ISSUE WHEN THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR IN MAY 2014 OR WHETHER IT IS STILL A LINGERING ISSUE. I ALSO FAILED TO GET A RESPONSE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IF THE ISSUE IS STILL LINGERING. I TRIED COMMUNICATING WITH THEM ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE AND THEIR 1800 RECALL NUMBER. THE 1800 RECALL NUMBER WAS A WASTE OF TIME BECAUSE THE LADY ANSWERING THE PHONE ONLY REPEATED BACK INFORMATION THAT WAS PART OF THE PUBLIC RELEASE OF THE RECALL. THE LADY ANSWERING THE PHONE ALSO TRIED TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE ITS UNKNOWN WHETHER OR NOT MY VEHICLE IS EVEN PART OF THE RECALL. THAT SEEMS STRANGE CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT MOST ALTERNATORS DO NOT FAIL AT 12000 MILES AND MY CHARGER MATCHES THE DESCRIPTION OF VEHICLES THAT COULD BE AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. GIVEN THE POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES THAT COULD OCCUR, I WANTED SOME REASSURANCES FROM CHRYSLER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

ON AUGUST 2ND, 2015 AT APPROXIMATELY 2:30PM WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ONTO A BUSY STREET WHEN I PLACED MY CAR IN REVERSE I OBSERVED MY BACKUP CAMERA NOT TO BE FUNCTIONING AND SHOWING A BLACK SCREEN. I ATTEMPTED MULTIPLE TIMES TAKING THE CAR OUT OF GEAR AND THAN PLACING IT BACK IN REVERSE AGAIN WITH NO EFFECT. I THEN SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON THEN PLACING THE CAR IN REVERSE. A BLACK SCREEN STILL SHOWED BUT THE TEXT STATING "CHECK SURROUNDING AREAS" POPPED UP ON THE TOP OF THE SCREEN (STILL NO IMAGE SHOWING). I NOTIFIED THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND TOOK IT IN FOR THEM TO TAKE A QUICK LOOK BEFORE CLOSING. TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME HE COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES, AND THAT ALL WIRING AND CONNECTIONS APPEARED TO BE FINE BUT TOLD ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE THE DEALER THAT SATURDAY I PLACED MY CAR IN REVERSE AND THE CAMERA WAS FUNCTIONING FINE (HAVEN'T HAD AN ISSUE SINCE). I DROPPED MY CAR OFF SUNDAY NIGHT AND THE DEALER HAD IT MONDAY & TUESDAY AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THE ITEM WAS NOT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND DODGE IS BASICALLY INFORMING ME THAT A INTERMITTENT ISSUE IS FINE. *TR

WHEN PRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE 8.4 INCH SCREEN WE WERE ABLE TO HEAR A CLICK AND THEN THE FUNCTION WHICH AS ILLUMINATED ON THE SCREEN TURNED OFF. SHE TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THE HEATED SEAT WOULD NOT STAY ON.

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

WIFE COMPLAINED OF TRUNK OPENING BY ITSELF. CAR HAS KEYLESS PASSIVE ENTRY SYSTEM AND I SUSPECTED SHE WAS ACCIDENTALLY HITTING THE TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON. PROBLEM BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND ON TWO OCCASIONS SHE HAD TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF BUSY HIGHWAYS TO CLOSE THE TRUNK PUTTING HER AT A SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH. A BRIEF ONLINE SEARCH SHOWS AN HISTORICAL PROBLEM INVOLVING THIS COMPLAINT. AT FIRST THE PROBLEM WAS HUMOROUS BUT AFTER HER HAVING TO STOP ON THE LIE THE HUMOR QUICKLY FADED AND CONCERN AROSE. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALER FOR A FIX AND I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN AND WAS BLOWN OFF.

VEHICLE MAIN COMPUTER EXECUTED JUST ABOUT EVERY WARNING CODE AFTER START UP. THIS INCLUDED A WARNING NOT TO DRIVE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND EPISODE OF THIS NATURE WITH THIS VEHICLE, THE FIRST OCCURRING ON THE FIRST DAY OF OWNERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT 13 OF THE FIRST 60 DAYS OF OWNERSHIP.
