3 Brake Light On problem of the 2011 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 01/18/2017

3 separate vehicle shutdowns while accelerating to pass another vehicle and to override cruise control. Esc and abs light came on along with "acc/fcw unavailable vehicle system error" in the evic at 30mph. Seconds later all warning lights shut off, the turned back on a few seconds later and repeated constantly. Power steering was 100% lost while turning, almost causing me to go into a ditch. At about 25mph, again at 35mph, and again at 40mph, my car had briefly applied the ebrake by itself, even though the ebrake was fully disengaged, and a clicking sound could be heard coming from the shifter. The spedometer drops to zero, then warning lights turn off again and spedometer goes back to normal function. Brake pedal became very stiff, making it difficult to stop. When I came to a full stop at an intersection, the ebrake prevented me from accelerating, then I was able to accelerate after a couple of seconds and then my power steering went out. Then the airbag light came on. After the intersection, the brake light remained on, speedometer stayed at 0, airbag light stayed on. Dinging constantly, as cars normally do when you first start them ( about 1 ding a second). Radio and most interior lighting shut off, headlights shut off, then came back on and started flickering, accompanied by a "battery saver mode" message on the evic. Windshield wipers started moving, but very slowly. Engine sounded windy, like a siren from a fire truck and engine was noticeably less powerful. Burning smell from engine. Once stopped, car would not restart, and almost no power to any area of the car. Replaced battery, which fixed nothing. Window was stuck down, so we pulled the battery and put it on a Charger to see if it was charged, and put it back in the car. The battery was connected about 45 seconds, with the engine off but the car in acc mode, and alternator started smoking. 20 cel codes.

4 Brake Light On problem of the 2012 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 08/23/2016

We had a catastrophic failure of the alternator which nearly caused a wreck with my entire family (infant daughter was in car at the time when the high heat came on and windows locked not allowing us to turn heat off or get out for a minute) while we were driving back home and had to have the vehicle towed and get it fixed at the dealership earlier this year around January. Now the air bag warning light is staying on constantly, and as of 3 days ago (08/21/2016) the radio stops working and yesterday (08/23/2016) the abs & traction control lights came on and will not go off now (at 60 mph that's scary when your family is with you and brake warning lights and airbag lights come on!!!!!!!). So this makes 3 warning lights that are now on constantly, yet the recalls for these issues do not apply to this VIN number, but the problems are happening exactly the same as other peoples problems who were part of recalls. My dealership won't fix it unless I pay because my cars VIN number doesn't qualify for the recall, yet the same exact problems are happening as recall problems. I will never buy Dodge again as they have nearly killed me and my family enough, and are turning out to be very dishonest!.

5 Brake Light On problem of the 2011 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 05/25/2016

My brake light came on. So I went to pep boys to get it checked out. They told me that I have a leak on my line that goes from the front of the car to the back of the car. They said they needed to change out my whole line since it is one piece. I asked why this has happened and the technician told me that the line was rubbing against the frame of my car. Since it has been rubbing against my frame, it caused a friction that ultimately caused a tear on my line and started the leak.

6 Brake Light On problem of the 2012 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 09/13/2014

Complaint concerning: NHTSA preliminary evaluation #pe14022 on Saturday 9/13/14 I was driving home from the store on a residential road going 35 miles per hour and my vehicle began to flash the abs light. Then the emergency brake light began to flash, the touch screen went blank. My radio and a/c shut off, the windows would not roll down. The mileage meter read 0, than started to read miles up to 80 miles per hour. I lost power steering, and the power brakes!! my car was 100% inoperable!!! I tried to coast to the side of the road, almost hitting several motorist and pedestrians as I had not control over the breaks!!! my daughter and I were almost killed b/c I was unable to stop or steer and almost had a head on collision!! I coasted to the side of the road, when my car completely died!! would not recognize the key, could not open the trunk, etc. I had my car towed to my Dodge dealer, they notified me that the alternator went out, drain the battery completely! the alternator on this car is too weak for the size of the vehicle! repairs cost me $1,500 total, not covered under powertrain warranty! this car is only 2 yrs. Old! this should not happen with a new car! I contacted Chrysler corp. Office and they did not offer me any assistance! some one will die due to this type of vechicle flaw! there needs to be a recall on this issue!!!!!!!!!!!.

7 Brake Light On problem of the 2011 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 06/13/2011

Within one month of purchasing my vehicle the passenger air bag light stays on and after bringing the vehicle into the dealer 3 times it has still not been repaired. Then my emergency brake light and my abs light randomly started coming on. I brought it into the dealer again and they said they had to order a part. They "think it is electrical" and would call me when the part came in. Two months later. . . No phone call from the dealer. My car would not start two times since the last visit to the dealership. I walked into the dealer to show them that this large light with an electrical sign and battery flashed on and my vehicle would not start just 15 minutes ago. The service manager went out to my vehicle and said my abs is not working. I brought my vehicle in to the dealer this morning. Among the above issues there is now a headlight safety issue. It is not safe to drive me and my family. I want it fixed or replaced. I bought the vehicle with 50 miles on it and it has had nothing but major safety issues. I do not want to wait until someone dies with this vehicle on the road. Something needs to be done now!!!!.

8 Brake Light On problem of the 2011 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 06/08/2011

The first week I got my car the brake light came on while I was driving. My car was ordered for me and took a little over two months to be delivered. The brake light comes on, flashes and then goes off at unpredictable times. I have taken it to the dealer 4 times but they never put that complaint on my sheet. They keep saying the computer isn't showing anything wrong. I also had a problem with the car keyless entries not working, they replaced the door handles and now they work. The car has also locked me out on three separate occasions. Once with my 1 year old son inside and the key was inside as well, had to jimmy door to get in. Also my seatbelt sticks. If I drive over 20 minutes I have to unlock lock and unlock again to get my seatbelt to open.
