2001 Dodge Charger — Known Issues & Recalls

Your passenger side headlight stopped working while driving at 55 mph. When you tried to replace the bulb, you discovered the wiring harness was melted. This indicates an electrical problem that caused overheating. The issue will likely require replacing the melted wiring harness and possibly the headlight assembly.

You received recall notices for your airbag system, but the parts needed to fix the recall weren't available from the dealer. You've been waiting longer than reasonable to get the repair completed, though you haven't experienced any airbag failures yet. The manufacturer needs to address the parts shortage and get the replacement airbag components in stock.

Your driver's side door latch actuator broke while the car was parked, leaving the door unable to close or lock properly. This prevents you from shifting the vehicle and compromises safety. The dealer wants you to drive the car to them in this unsafe condition for diagnosis, rather than sending a technician to you.
