My 2009 Dodge Charger would not start dealer indicated the ignition module is defective a friend of mine who owns a repair garage told he had seen this on a Dodge Charger three times in the past 4 weeks. This may explain why it is taking the dealer 4 weeks to repair waiting for the part.

This problem began shortly after I purchased (in 2010) this 60,000mi one-owner car a 2008 Dodge Charger 5. 7l rwd police package. The key fails to be removed from the ignition key switch. The key switch cannot be turned to the "off" position to be removed and stays stuck in the "accessory" position. This is a real safety issue because the key must be left in the ignition switch opening the possibility to vehicle theft or any child or other passerby making entry into the vehicle and starting & driving away. Leaving the key "on" in the accessory position subsequently drains the battery, after only a matter of hours the battery is dead and leaves the owner repeatedly stranded. Leaving the accessory circuits energized for long periods also increases the chances of a vehicle fire. I took the car to a local Dodge dealer in lumberton NJ, they told me it was a defective win module. I paid for the removal & installation of a new win module and the car exhibits the same exact problem as before. I took it back to the dealer to have it verified that it's still occurring and had to argue with them for a refund only to be given dealer credit. The dealer then showed me a Dodge engineer's service bulletin describing this issue perfectly. Often these symptoms are symptomatic of a win module but if the win is not at fault, Dodge states that the "esm" module (electronic shift module) is at fault and needs to be replaced. The esm is located on the steering column in a 2008 Dodge Charger 5. 7l rwd police package car and is connected to the column shift gear selector. The Dodge dealer states the esm module is not available for replacement and the entire steering column must be replaced due to the part not available for sale separately. Every other module for the Charger is available for purchase except the esm and Dodge service wants $2400 to needlessly replace the entire column.

2009 Dodge Charger. Consumer states vehicle lost all power while driving the consumer stated the vehicle stopped abruptly, the power steering was disabled, the radio died and all the lights on the message board flashed. The engine was completely dead. The next day, the vehicle was taken to the dealer. The consumer was informed the intergrated power module was not working properly and had to be replaced. The service advisor explained that the intergrated power module is the computer that controls the fuse box. When the proper signals can not make it to the computer, it causes everything wired to the fuse box to shut down. Unfortunately, the problem occurred again on July 6, 2010.
