Wiring problems of the 2013 Dodge Charger

Rear power supply started smoking after a charging component was plugged in. Smoked for awhile after removing the rear panel that adjust the heat seaters the wires was burnt all the way to the wire harness of the middle console. Dont know if this faulty wiring but it is a fire hazard if not fixed. The vehicle was parked at the time.

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.

On August 2nd, 2015 at approximatly 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 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.

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that the air bag warning lights remained illuminated. The dealer diagnosed that the wiring harness needed to be replaced. However, after the repair the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage 30,000. Ne.

On approximately 4/16/2014 while driving my girlfriend attempted to use the seat heater on the front passenger side. 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. I had the dealership look up this issue and the following was found: "cs - b1eb2 - 1b r/f seat heater sensor-circuit resistance above threshold, inspected heated seat module connector and heated seat pad connector looks ok, checked for short to voltage circuit p688 ok, checked continuity from module to cushion pad connector circuit p688 no continuity, checked short to ground, circuit is shorted to ground, removed seat inspected wiring, found wiring got rub thru on seat frame. Inspected heat seat cushion pad sensor, found heated seat pad sensor internal failure ordered seat cushion, repair circuit p688, cleared dtcs and check if heated seat is working, seat is still not working, r/f seat is reading that its -40 degrees. Removed seat and replaced passenger front cushion heated element and verify repair". So I was driving around with a heated set where the ground wire rubbed through on the seat frame. Luckily their was fire in the vehicle due to my girlfriend repeatedly pushing the button in an attempted to get the seat to work.
