Intermittent disabling of the steering system resulting in multiple lights (abs, etc.) and steering locking up with the car in gear with no prior indication of an issue and no warning light or message prior to failure then today this happened along with delayed start and the power steering system fail message presented so g with the car steering locking up and the car becoming immovable while in gear. This followed by the car not starting at all and remaining immovable requiring a rollback tow.
Strong smell of gas in the inside of the cabin due to a fuel pump cracking at the top. I cannot fill up the car all the way due to the smell and gas staying in top of the fuel pump.
Message on dash indicating that the vehicle is not in park, when the vehicle is in park, per placing the shifter into park position and it will not shut off with the push button, until the message goes away, which can take putting it back into gear, or pushing the automatic start button on the key faub or waiting for for the message on the dash to go away. Looked at a forum that indicated that someone with the same problem had there vehicle go into reverse without the person placing it into reverse. Many forums with people having the same problem.
Slight 'miss' at idle all the time intermittent weak starting odd 'sometimes' problems: 1-cruise control won't come on at all 2-if cruise is on, will not decelerate car on a decline (always above speeds of 55mph intermittent at speeds 55 and below) 3-U connect problems-no bluetooth, passenger door unlock inoperative from outside passenger or driver door at handles(must push button on door panel or on fob)no power at usb or has power but not sensing accessory at usb, no audio from audio port (2013 Charger not on compatible vehicles list for any U connect so why did it get installed?) 4-menu up down ^ buttons on steering wheel don't work 5-burning electrical/rubber smell inside car 5.5-air handler switching problems defrost/floor/dash (seems like defrost always on) 5.75-headlights dim/brighten while in use 5.8-power train probs intermittent(feels like it's towing something behind it as far as power to vehicle from engine) 5.85-overall shifting probs delayed or lacking in power or hard shifting both from park into gear and automatic shifting through gears most noticeable from park into any gear 5.9-while in park at idle traction control light comes on 5.95-engine hesitates causing the vehicle to 'jerk' as if brakes were applied, without warning, not at any specific time (long drive, short drive, reverse, overdrive, hot, cold, whenever) none of the above have ever caused it to throw a code, so have been undetectable by dealership. Except the U connect items which they said should be fixed by updates and weren't. (6&7-before thermostat replaced(just now)) 6-heater fan sounds like it's working but isn't and will suddenly come on full speed 7-heat will blow at good temp. Then suddenly be too hot and burn my hands on steering wheel all 'documentation' is in video.cant upload. Happened since purchased new. All recalls addressed. Mileage now 76850. Thanks.

Steering wheel controls and bluetooth hands free connectivity have failed on this vehicle requiring $700 repair including a new bluetooth module. The vehicle can no longer support the hands free safety features that are essential for mobility connectivity and safety during phone calls. Users are unable to reboot radio devices on this vehicle requiring dealer visit for diagnosis. Diagnosis indicates failure of bluetooth module located near steering wheel. This appears to be a common problem for Dodge biased on info boards, install videos and oem parts being sold to repair this. I have vehicles twice the age of this Dodge with bluetooth still active so this feels like a premature parts failure that is putting my teen driver at risk until repaired due to lack of hands free connectivity.
When driving my 2013 Dodge Charger SE all of the lights flashed on the dash and the auto trans would not shift out of 1st gear. I ran my obd2 and it gave a trouble code of U0002 high speed can bus. It then stalled on the hwy and I about crashed the vehicle due to now power steering or brakes. It is now in the shop at $125 per hour and the Dodge dealership has no idea what is wrong either. It will not start at all. No cranking no nothing.
When getting ready to exit the vehicle and turn off the engine the display reads vehicle not in park and won't allow me to turn the engine off. It takes approximately 45 seconds to a minute.
My Dodge Charger rt 2013 vehicle randomly reports that your need to push down the clutch in order to start the vehicle. It also will randomly cut off on you while driving the vehicle which is extremely dangerous. I have taken the vehicle to different dealerships and for the all tell me that I can do anything since we cant replicate the issue. I don't understand the why the vehicle will report anything about an clutch since it is an automatic.
The TPMS system has failed. 3 of 4 tires show a pressure but is not accurate, seems to be frozen on a prior pressure reading. 4th tire position shows "- -". recently had a nail in tire that caused deflation. Driver did not notice severely under inflated tire causing poor handling and increased risk of accident. Passerby notified driver of low tire pressure condition. Subject vehicle also has failed bluetooth module which may be related" vehicle has also been to Dodge dealership for charging system, battery and alternator issue, even though subject vehicle is not included in current recall campaign for same issues. Is there a correlation between overcharging condition and failing modules"
On August 18, 2017, I started my 2013 Dodge Charger and discovered that the uconnet system was no longer working. My hands free system could no longer be connected. After contacting uconnect, it was determined that the bluetooth module had stopped working. This is a problem when you are constantly in your vehicle for work purposes and depend on the hands free driving.
The was a recall issue fixed on my vehicle sometime last year where if I'm not mistaken, they went into my dash and/or removed the dash. Also the airbag light would go on and off. Since then, I've started to experience clicking/knocking where the airbag would be located and the air bags light is on and off very frequently as well. If I hit a bump on the side where the clicking occurs, the air bag light will come on. Not sure if the problem is related to the recall that was supposedly fixed in the past, however there was no clicking/knocking in the dashboard prior to the fix, only airbag light. I just don't want it to be an airbag issue or it deploys while I'm driving. Not able to put in an exact date because it happens everyday, so only entered today's date.
While driving the battery saver mode warning illuminated. Within seconds the car made a loud boom sound and I could not put it into park. I had to apply the emergency brake and keep trying to get the car into gear. As I was doing that the car was flashing to blank screen and then suddenly the car turned off. I had the car towed to the dealership to see what is wrong.
Was driving and my battery save mode came on. Then the car's dash lights went out then the navigation system went out and the car completely stalled. In the road. Lifted the hood and there was a burning smell. Let it sit for a while it started. Got it to autozone and they said it was the alternator. The dealership said its not covered under warranty cost would be about $772. Called Dodge and they said my year wasn't under recall for this problem but other years were.
This started with a burning smell and radio not working. I tried to get car into Dodge dealer in tallahassee but due to hurricane they were backed up. I drove car home from work and in seconds a terrible smell and black smoke filled up the car and out from hood into car. I had aaa and emergency service, car was towed to tallahassee car care center. I am just past my warranty with mopar Dodge but this is not typical and should not happen with only 22K miles. This was dangerous and scary and could have caused a crash on the road.
Alternator suddenly failed when driving on the street. Car suddenly stopped running and started smoking while driving. Almost got in an accident while trying pull off the road. Battery replacing light came on, 30 seconds later car was making sounds, while trying to merge over, car suddenly died. Lifted hood, smoke came out. Towed car to dealership, they stated it was a failed alternator. 2013 SXT Dodge Charger 50,200 miles.
