My vehicle was taken to a dealership to receive recall maintenance. The recall maintenance was completed by the dealership but the 3 recalls are still showing open according to this website. I am active duty military currently serving overseas and I have not been able to ship my vehicle yet because I'm still waiting on the recalls to clear so that I can provide the shipping agency with a recall letter. Please provide me with guidance to remedy this issue as soon as possible. Thank you!.

Was driving on a clear day when, my traction control went on and off by itself and the abs went off by itself causing me to lose control, it was hard to pull over with the abs going on and off on their own. Awd system also went on and off on its own. Brought car to dealer the very next morning they kept car the whole day and was told it was fine and that they got no codes. I had test the car for codes after the incident had taken place and I got the following coeds. U0415 � abs, c147b front axle disconnected sensor. Yet the dealer gave me the car that I still under warranty back, with their own invoice stating no codes. I test the car for codes when I got from the car dealer and some of the codes were cleared, expect for abs u0415. The car is clearly not fine and the awd system is still not working the way it should. Also the car when park rolls everything time about a foot forward or back pending on slope of street. The road was a four lane road with two lanes east and two lanes west and I was going straight at about 35 mph, as I had just recently left from a red light.
My vehicle is giving a message that says �battery saver mode. � the battery in the vehicle is in perfect condition, the alternator has been replaced and I am still getting this message. According to blogs many people have had this problem. I have been informed that the car is at risk of spontaneously cutting off while in battery saver mode. This is a safety issue that needs to be looked into. It may be a sensor issue idk and my local Dodge is also unsure.

Wife was driving Charger when the gauges, radio, ac went hay wire and a few seconds later the car just died in heavy traffic and would not start back. Had car was towed and very costly as she was far from home. From what I could find online it sounded like the battery or alternator, removed both and had them tested and both are in good working order. Charged battery up and car started right up so we test from it. While driving it only a few miles we noticed that there is a strange new whining noise coming from under there hood, esp/ tration control lights came on and car died again charged battery again and it started right up again however we are reluctant to drive it again due to this issue. Sounds like alot of people in online forums are having this same issue, but yet no recalls or fix's for whatever the issue is.

Loss of power steering, dash cluster lights flashing uncontrollably, dash cluster indicated engine rpm fluctuating wildly while in motion and while stationary and while turning. Transmission or gear shifter made continuous or odd clicking while in motion and while stationary even after vehicle was place in park. Trouble turning the vehicle back on after above issues occurred had to power cycle vehicle several time for actual startup. Could not shift out of park after power cycles and had to do several more power cycles. Second time issues have occurred after already taking vehicle to dealership. Dealership said it was because of low voltage and had not done any other work on vehicle other than reset code and put miles on vehicle.

Alternator.
I was driving down the freeway and a warning light come on saying traction control was turned off after about 10 mins it went off and then it came back on again. It has done this before and the dealership has replaced a sensor in the car now its doing it again.
When I fill my tank, the fuel pump under the back seat on the passenger side over fills and leaks raw gasoline into the cab. I have looked online and found hundreds of people with 2011 and 2012 Chargers with the same problem. Second I had a head light go out on the passenger side. I replaced the bulb and still isn't working, checked the fuses and those are,good to. Maybe it's a faulty wire harness. Also found people online with the same issue.

On April of 2018, my car check engine light came on . I noticed my car barely taking off as I incline a hill or make a sudden stop. After observing how my car was driving suddenly slow, I then took it to landmark Dodge in morrow,GA. For a diagnostic. The code given was p06dd(dealers code). I had to gather up 2500. 00 to get (valve body work) done. The check engine light stayed off until October 2019 where I took my car to auto zone for a free diagnostic, but to my surprise it gave the same code. I work back and forth out of town so therefore I didn't make it back in time to get it reinspected again for that code. Recently on April 1st. My car stalled and all lights on the dashboard came on including windshield wipers. I do noticed further ahead a week later that when ever I run over a pot hole or bump in the road it does it more often. As of now, the check engine light is still on and my car electrical system still is failing. I've owned my car for 7 1/2 years now and do plan on keeping it around for at least 10 more years. The car runs great and is good on gas. Thanks.
The engine shut completely off during driving. I lost power steering and automatic braking. I tried to restart but it would not turn over. The battery and the alternator were not dead. I had it towed to a shop and they said the engine control module was dead. It almost caused me to have an accident. I then had to have it towed to a dealer for repair.

While driving in the neighborhood the car shut off lost power steering car was in drive and ignition was still on. Turned the ignition off and took several tries to restart car restarted but would not go above 10 mph and cut off 4 times thereafter. Drove a week later and same problem right before I got on the highway. Car shuts off while in drive. No check engine lights or any other indicator lights come on. This is very dangerous as this is my primary vehicle to transport my family.
The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle exhaust fumes were present in the cabin of the vehicle causing the 6-year-old daughter to become ill. Also, the traction stability control warning light would illuminate while driving at various speeds. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who serviced the vehicle for the failures but the failures continued to occur. No further information was available. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 42,000.
As I exited the freeway my vehicle began to shut down and lose power. I was able to sputter at 10 mph for about a quarter mile to a parking lot. The vehicles electronics were shutting down the whole time and weird electrical activation's started occurring or freezing on their own such as lights, senors, wipers, radio etc. I could also smell a burnt odor emitting from the air vents. When I parked the vehicle it did not start and had smoke coming from the engine. I checked the engine and saw some smoke coming from the alternator and smelled burnt. I took the vehicle to the dealer on 01-22-18 and they diagnosed it as the alternator failing due to the recall but there was no fix yet from Chrysler. They stated the quick fix is replacing the alternator but the vehicle would have to come back until they discover what needs to be fixed on the recall. Today is 01-24-18 and my vehicle is not repaired because the dealer is waiting approval from Chrysler to install a new alternator since there is no exact fix for the recall yet. They told me it may be an electrical computer problem, wiring problem or alternator problem. They told me they may install a new alternator today (01-24-18) and they had to order it. I have been with no vehicle since 01-18-18 due to the dealer and Chrysler not problem solving their mistake. I'm glad I didn't crash or was in the fast lane of the freeway when I lost power but my son was scared because he didn't know what was going on. I cant imagine the consequences if things had not gone the way they did. Someone could seriously get injured at the expense of Chrysler failing to find a fix. Would this fall under the lemon law?.
As driving up the highway my 2013 Dodge Charger jerked and when I looked at the dashboard there was a message that said �service transmission shut off engine to engage park� my engine light was also on. I pulled over but my car would not go into park. I tried to pull back off to get to a safe place little did I know that my car would not pick up speed, traffics was approaching and there is was in the middle of the road trying pushing down on the gas pedal to hurry and move before the coming traffick made it to me, it was an 18 wheeler. I could have been dead today due to this issue and I'm not wondering why there is nothing being done about this problem.
Driving home and battery light came on and immediately following the car killed on me mid-rush hour on a very busy street between 3:00pm to 6:00pm out of no where. I had help to get it off the main road and asked for a jump start the car started up and ten minutes into the battery light came on again and the car killed. Called a tow man due to the risk level of not knowing when the car will kill again and most importantly where if I did the jump started again. Replaced the alternator/battery but issue remains with battery light coming on and shortly after car kills. A slight difference is the replaced battery allowed car to remain driven longer before it kills. Battery light comes on two to four minutes later car kills. (replaced battery) battery light comes on fifteen/twenty minutes later car kill.
I'm still having, (battery saver mode light coming on). And now I'm worried about the ("takata recall"). I've taken my Dodge Charger back to Dodge dealership for service today, 11/16/17, as the (abs) & (traction control) lights both were on. And as I was driving my car to the dealership I tried to set my cruise control at 75 mph as I was on I-77 south, but I couldn't get it to set at any speed. Today 11/17/2017 my repair bill is $350. 00 dollars + a car payment and hopefully I can get home with the alternator issues. I'm tired of paying for something that I'm afraid to drive anywhere I need to go. This Dodge belongs to a family of 4 including myself, can someone please help me get something done ASAP I think I have a beautiful vehicle and I don't really want to trade it just because of the no parts available, as my luck would be, the parts would be available the same month as I traded cars.

17v097 recall to3.
While driving my 2013 Dodge Charger daytona at 60mph the vehicle just stopped working. The power just failed, I had no break or steering and just had to pray no one pulled out in front of me or I would have hit them. I have been researching this since my dealership says their is no open recall but there are literally hundreds of complaints of the same problem all over different websites. This is scary and very dangerous since people typically drive very fast in these vehicles! I could've been killed or killed someone else! not to mention that waiting for the tow truck I couldn't even move the car or have any hazards on.
Alternator recall. Engine interiors lights flash while off, car intermittently will go off. Power steering not available. Chrysler mechanics would not look into my power steering issues. Told me my alternator is fine. I do not feel my alternator is fine and want it replaced. I do not feel safe driving with my children.
My 2011 Dodge Charger se sometimes goes into "power save mode", when it does that, it makes a loud noise coming from the engine specifically from the alternator pulley and the serpentine belt. When I turn on the ac and turn the wheel, the noise persists, but when the ac is off and I turn the wheel, there is no noise. When the vehicle goes into the power save mode, I feel like I loose power when turning, as if the vehicle is going to turn off.
If the alternator fails, the vehicle stall without warning, took the car to the dealership and been told that recall p60 is only for 160 am alternator and my is 180 but the same problem happen to my car.
While driving on a highway I heard a rattle in the engine, then it heard something break off, my brakes became hard I was having trouble stopping. After I couldn't accelerate and the car turned off. While trying to restart my car I could only hear a click then the engine started to smoke. I had recently experienced a harsh gear shift while driving.

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Charger. While driving 35 mph, the steering became unstable and the abs, brake, engine, and esc warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to efird Chrysler Jeep Dodge (located at 1711 w lucas st florence, SC 29501) where it was diagnosed that the electrical and power steering needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 95,340.
N/s.
The abs and esc light came on at the same time with no reason/incident. Started the vehicle going only 20 mph stopped at a stop sign and looked down and both lights were on. No heavy braking, or anything that would cause a malfunction due to driver carelessness.
My 2017 Dodge Charger daytona 392 (r/t scat pack) has an inherently dangerous intermittent electrical failure. While traveling 77mph on interstate 70 the evic screen indicated a fcw warning with the system turned off, loss of the abs, esp, srs, then total loss of electric steering with no throttle or breaking input response. Said vehicle then violently downshifted from 8th gear to 3rd gear causing the rear wheels to break traction subsequently resulting in full loss of lateral control of the vehicle. I fully depressed the emergency break as the rear of the vehicle began to drift to the left resulting in flat spots on both rear tires as I skidded to a hault. I have addressed this issue with 4 local dealers in kansascity to no resolve. After this failure occurs and the vehicle is shut off for any length of time the gague lightning flashes intermittently then flashing/clearing the pcm wiping every code out. Once captured by a service writer stationary after having the vehicle towed to a dealership using the obd2 data recorder were 277 faults all sighting electrical over vaults and electrical failure of the tcm. Fca assigned a case manager who did nothing. After consistent calls to fca corperate I was assigned a "star case" and said case was given to the 91 team who have also done absolutely nothing. This vehicle isn't just dangerous for my family and myself but other motorists as well sighting total loss of control when this event occurs. I purchased said vehicle March 20, 2017 and have dealt with this since day 8 of ownership. The vehicle now has 8,522 miles and there's no resolution in sight. I can't even get local dealers to change the oil under the mvp maxcare unlimited warranty.
Driving on florida turnpike and several car indicator warning lights came on, stability control, battery and so many others that I cannot remember them. A high pitched noise was emitted, car started smoking from vents and smelled like an electrical fire. I was passing a turnpike stop and was able to unsafely cross several lanes of traffic to pull in to the stop. I made it into the parking lot just in time and the car cut out. Had to take to be towed to the closest mechanic and leave overnight because it was too hot to connect to computer to troubleshoot. The battery casing was melted. The alternator and the battery had to be replaced. I am very grateful that I was next to a turnpike stop when this happened or my car would have shut down in the middle of the highway and could have resulted in a serious accident.
My vehicle was released to me from carstar of macon with a knowingly inoperable tpms on all four of my tires. I was not told this before I paid and drove away. I got 5 minutes down the road and felt violent shaving in the steering wheel. I turned around and drove the vehicle back to carstar and waited about 20 minutes for them to tell me that they were aware that the tpms was inoperable. That they were aware that all four sensors were not working properly and that one had actually fallen out into the tire itself and was bouncing around in the wheel well knocking off the alignment of the vehicle. They gave me an option of fixing it or removing the sensors. I was told that they would try to contact my insurence company to see if they would pay for the damaged parts that were operating normally before they switched out the new tire wheels. Again they release the vehicle to me with an inoperable tpms system and advise me to drive over 60 mph.

Abs esp light on.
The vehicle will stall at a stop sign or stop light. The lights will flicker and the gauges will go to the max amounts and then back to zero. The car restarts and runs fine after this happens, but it keeps reoccurring.

I always bring my car to rancho Chrysler Jeep Dodge on 8010 balboa avenue san diego, CA 92111 regarding the "batter saver mode". I've had this car for almost 2 years and have gone in several times about this issue. They replaced the battery/alternator at least that's what I was told and the "battery saver mode" still comes on. The issue is if you turn off the car it goes away. I was informed to bring it back in if the "battery saver mode" comes back on but if the place isn't opened that's impossible to do so. I would like this to be fixed, my car cuts off at times when I start it and drive off in the morning when it's colder and this has been happening for years which this was reported to the car company as well.
Battery save mode message, car message came up, lost power to radio, and the car shut off. Had the alternator tested and it came back ok and replaced battery. It worked for a day and got the same message and radio shut off again.
