Brake Sensor Problems of Dodge Charger

I have been chasing a abs/eps light issue since the dealership did an airbag recall. Replaced all wheel sensors, rotors, brake pads, calipers and finally returned to the dealership for them to replace the angle sensor. 5 minutes after leaving the light came back on. Returned and they said the steering column measured 37mm instead of 34mm. This item has never been replaced or damaged and without replacing this item then I'm being told this sensor will continue to be an issue. This vehicle is not my daily driver because I have been concerned on safety issues. Now I know it was a manufacture issue. Chrysler refuses to help me because they stated the dealer has not determined this to be a manufacturer defect. In 2010 and 2012 this issues has come up in the media and the manufacturer was placed on notice but failed to recall because not enough cases were located.

At about 12k to 14k the wheel motion sensor failed on my car causing the traction control, abs and cruise control to be disabled. . . . It was fixed under warrantee. . A CO-worker who purchased a 15 Charger right after I purchased mine has notified me today she had a wheel sensor fail at 14,000. This seems to be chronic. . Is this being looked into. . . ?.

While driving on a town road at about 35 mph, the warning lights for the abs and esc systems lit. I subsequently determined that the vehicle cruise control also no longer functioned. I contacted Chrysler since the vehicle recently had a recall performed for alternator replacement, and symptoms included in that recall - Chrysler p60 / NHTSA 14v-634 - indicate that modes of failure may include disabling abs and esc. Chrysler stated that "sometimes they may need to do the recall again". Brought vehicle to dealer. Diagnosed as a sensor failure. I had to pay for repairs. Service writer stated that this failure happens on these cars quite frequently, and even "guessed" correctly what needed to be replaced before the tech worked on it. Esc and abs are both significant safety systems.

Just as everyone else has written, my 2011 Dodge Charger at only 51,000 miles alternator went out. I was driving down the road when all of the gages started flashing, my radio cut off, and then my whole car died and wouldn't come back on. Luckily, I pulled over in enough time because the steering wheel was impossible to turn and I couldn't even push my break in. I would hate to have been going faster and the whole car shut down and be stuck in a metal death trap. I had to have my car towed from another town. The next day we put a new battery in the car because of course it was fried. After resetting the cars computer because the throttle sensor was off, I was able to drive the car again for a total of 10 minutes before it started disintegrating by serpentine belt and unraveling into the car. Replaced that, started it again for it only to say that my car was in battery saver mode again with a brand new battery. Took it to o'reillys for them to test the alternator while my car was still able to run, because with this particular car the alternator has to be tested on the car, and well it was not running the previous day. Needless to say the alternator froze up there diagnostic computer. Long story short my Dodge Charger is sitting until I can save up enough money to buy the $700 alternator! I will never buy a Dodge again! you would think that if this many people were having the same exact problem they would do something about it.
