2006 Dodge Charger -- for no apparent reason all dashboard lights and brake lights flicker and go out every once in a while, and some times the engine stalls. Some times the alarm goes on with brake light on/off problem. I turned battery kill switch off and on, it started the stalled engine. I pulled and pushed the emergency brake lever, it helped; but I will watch it for recurrance. The engine stalling problem may be a ticking time bomb. Nhtsa, please do something about it.

I purchased a 2008 Dodge Charger in the first month it was having electrical issues were I would loose power to the dash board and the lights then the car would just shut off. I took it in for repair and they replaced the relay. The car continued to have these issues not frequently enough were the dealership would let me bring it in. 12 months go buy and I bring it in to the dealership anyway and they said they could not regenerate the problem. 2 months later the car caught on fire from the trunk and burned to the ground. The fire marshall did not do a forensic investigation but said it obviously looks to have started with the battery and I agreed with the amount of electrical problems I had with this car. There was no after-market anything on this car it was all stock. Dodge will not help or release any info to me in regards to the problem. They wont even talk to me. 3 months later I moved to arizona and met a person who had the same problem.

I have owned my 2006 Dodge Charger v6 3. 5l ho, for almost 2 years now and in that time the car has had the same problems that the dealers can't fix or even know what to do. I would go to start the car and it would crank up, turn over then cut back off. It would do that about three times before starting after I turn the radio off. It has also had about a 30 second pause when starting the car, in which there would be no engine cranking, no noise. . . Just the dashboard lights and nothing else. I had to turn the key three times before I got it to start. The absolute worst is the car idles down like it wants to shut off while stopped in everyday traffic not to mention the previous 2 I stated before, happens in spurts. Its been back to the dealership several times and I was told that the computer was returning "no codes" so they don't know what the problem is. They have tested the battery, ignition and they were all fine.
