46 Service Brakes problem of the 2015 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 04/03/2020

The vehicle has started displaying messages to have the power steering, electronic stability control and the abs brake system serviced. It has began to not start as well. It will randomly flash these messages on the dash in motion and stationary positions. When it does, the power steering actually goes out of the vehicle swerves. The car was just at a dealership to get the oil done a week ago and they did an entire inspection on it and said it was fine. . . . It has done this before 2 years ago and then stopped on it's own. So the oil change was before the issues started again. Had it checked out again and still nothing throwing any codes out. This is a very big safety issue and we would love some answers as to why this is happening!.

47 Service Brakes problem of the 2007 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 03/10/2020

I purchased this car 2 years ago with the title, just having it at my parents house because I have another car. I drove it back to memphis on the highway and it jerked, cut the car off turn it back on it drives no more than 30 mph. Got a reading at 2 different auto zones, and got a tune up, oil change, and wire coils that go with the car. Still the same problem. So I drive the car back to my parents house a hour away from memphis and it's going slow, so of course law enforcement had some questions that almost allowed me to get the car towed at the times with the coronavirus going on as well. . So, after I get my slow car out the impound, I looked on cars. Com and I see a previous recall on my car that I didn't see at the time or purchase or had any idea of, that might be a little to late to fix even though these the exact same problems I'm having at this present moment. My car jerks back when trying to put it in the reverse or drive. So, I go back to autozone, in the little town because now I'm afraid to move my car because of the danger it's in. Autozobe don't want to do the reading so I do it myself because they're not allowed to get into people cars at this time. So, keep in mind I've got the work done to the car and I'm coming back to confirm that I did do those things. The man who worked at autozone told me it was something with my wiring, and to take it back to the dealership because they cannot find the part needed in the store I seen it with my own eyes the screen turn blank. Took it to Dodge, they just replace the air bags, and of course offer to make me spend money. I told them about the previous recall on my car and no one helped even though there is a maximum 10 years. But if these cars are still selling and being used there shouldn't be any time frame for the problem to be fixed because the car is now unsafe and unusable, and the owner out of money.

The bulletin on mopar website is in regards to electrical panel. Not once was there a recall. Starting on 1/23/19 my husband was driving and the steering wheel locked on him and he couldn't move the vehicle. The power steering warning came on. We took it to a dealership they said OH it's the power steering assembly module but you're past mileage for coverage. So I call mopar they get another dealership on the line we set up an appointment. Today 1/24/19 my husband is driving to class in morning traffic the vehicle shuts off all capability's to steer brake do anything. The vehicle luckily came on long enough to move to side of road then the vehicle again shut off he couldn't brake vehicle just kept moving then eventually it stopped and shut off on it's own. He was driving on dallas north tollway in morning traffic and traffic isn't light the thought of him being rear ended and something more happening is disheartening knowing they knew they had issues with the electrical panel but didn't do a recall.

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.

68 Service Brakes problem of the 2015 Dodge Charger

I bought my 2015 Dodge Charger as a certified used car. I did not have much need for hill driving until moving to northern California. While driving down a grade and braking, I noticed a vibration in the brake and shimmy in the steering. The issue has continued, when driving downhill and braking. Unfortunately, I waited until an unrelated recall to have the dealer check the brakes. At 31,098 miles, the front rotors are warped and should be replaced. Dodge is indicating this is not covered by warranty. I reviewed on line forums and found several others with similar complaints about not only this model year, but also dating back to the 2006 model year. All described similar issues with very low mileage.
