1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2025

On August 7, 2025, at approximately 11:30 pm, my 2014 Dodge Challenger caught fire in the trunk area where the battery is located. I had just parked at my location and was about to get out of the car when I noticed a strong burning smell and smoke coming from the rear. Flames were visible inside the trunk. The fire damaged the trunk interior, wiring, and surrounding components, but the battery still functioned afterward. There were no warning lights or prior issues before the incident. This poses a serious safety hazard and could have caused injury or further damage if it had occurred while driving.

2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/25/2024

The abs system has failed on my 2014 Dodge Challenger sxt and has caused major electrical issues within the vehicle. The abs part/computer module (part number 68210118ab) has been on back order for months with no estimate of when the part will be available from a Dodge/Chrysler/ram/Jeep dealership. I have been without my vehicle for 4 months because nobody has this part available. This is a major issue affecting many vehicles under Dodge/Chrysler/ram/Jeep. My safety was at risk because while I was driving the vehicle, every single light on my dashboard appeared and my brakes stopped working. Thankfully I was leaving my neighborhood and was only going 15mph. The key fob is not detectable, the windows will not roll up, and the vehicle cannot hold a charge while in drive. There was an abs warning lamp on prior to this all happening.

Issue has been continual since beginning in January.

4 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/12/2020

As of March 2020 my car has just gone down hill. It started with the engine not heating and cooling properly, I spent over $1300 getting it fixed a few months later my day time running lights will not turn off after 10 minutes the factory automatic shut off will happen and the lights will go off, because of that I had to have my battery replaced. Now my ac just stopped working it no longer blows cold air. I've had a diagnostic done on the car and they can't figure out what the problem is, spoke to other people who have the same car and they all say the same thing has happened to them and no one knows whats the problem is.

5 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/04/2020

My 2014 Dodge Challenger dies when I'm driving it. The most recent was when I was driving downhill on a winding mountain road. It died, and there was no place to get off the road. When it dies, the lights, power steering and power brakes all quit. Very dangerous!!! the dealer could find nothing wrong. There are many complaints about this on the internet, and Dodge is doing nothing to fix this. Like me, others have taken their cars to dealers, and they find nothing wrong. Something is very wrong! Dodge needs to get busy and fix this most dangerous defect before someone gets seriously injured or killed.

6 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 11/07/2019

The window has Smart glass. There is a sensor in the door which allows the window to automatically slide up or down about 1\4 of an inch so the door closes completely. About 4 days ago the window began sliding up and down on its own after turning the car off. I thought maybe it was acting up due to an old battery so I bought a new one but the window still slides up and down on its own constantly but only when the car is off. I have to leave the window rolled down a few inches to make it stop. I have read reviews where other people have had the same problem with some older models and even after replacing their window sensor the same problem still continued.
