Check Engine Light On problems of the 2012 Dodge Charger

While driving my 2012 Dodge Charger, the check engine light came on. I took it to a mechanic. The mechanic immediately diagnosed the problem as a tune up was needed. So I paid money for that. After getting the car back home, I drove it around the corner to the gas station and the check engine light came on again. I took it then for further diagnosing, went back to my mechanic, only to find out the lifter on the cam shaft is bad. According to my mechanic, and 3 other certified mechanics, and from doing all my research, this problem is extremely common with this particular engine. I am usually alone with a small child to transport around town. This problem needs to be recalled immediately! I want to remain a faithful customer to Dodge, but I'm sure they are aware of this very common problem. If they don't recall this, I will not ever purchase another Dodge vehicle again. To date, I have owned 4 of them.

I have an engine light took it to the mechanic, the oil sensor was changed 2 times, the check engine light was deleted twice and still come back on, as result I cant use the remote started and even the dealer don't know what to do. Am I the only one with this issue>?.

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.

With out any warning while driving my vehicle on a city street my entire electrical system shut done very rapidly. Beginning with the radio shutting it self off, the vehicle then displayed indicator lights saying that my abs system was bad followed by a check engine light indicator. Shortly after the check engine light indicator came on a service transmission indicator light displayed followed by all electrical systems shutting down completely. Once I was able to pull over the car would not shift into park. I then tried shutting the car off and the car would not turn off. The windshield wipers and other car accessories began to turn on and off on their own. At that time a strong plastic burning smell began followed by smoke from the engine compartment. In order to shut down the vehicle I had to disconnect the battery. The next morning I reconnected the battery to see if the problem had fixed itself. At that point the vehicle started, but still had the same electrical issues from the night before. The only difference was this time the vehicle shut itself off and will no longer start. Upon having the vehicle problem diagnosed it appears that the alternator failed without any prior warning causing a complete electrical shutdown of the vehicle. Upon further research, there has been a recall for the 2012 Dodge Charger vehicles concerning faulty alternators in vehicles that are equipped with 160 amp alternators. Mine has a 180 amp alternator, but still experienced a short in the alternator as described by recall p60 issued in 2014. Upon calling our local Dodge dealership we were told that our vehicle was under recall. After towing the vehicle to the Dodge dealership we were told that the car was not under the recall list and we would be responsible for paying the towing fees a long with repair fees for the replacement of the alternator.

Driving home from pigeon forge, TN our 2012 Dodge Charger with the 5. 7 hemi shut down. The engine just died and we coasted to the shoulder getting almost hit several times. This happen on the interstate 40 just out of knoxville we were running the speed limit when the engine shutdown with no warning. No check engine lights till after the engine shut down.
