Owner-Reported Issues (20 of 647)
Electrical System →3 issues
Your car's electrical system is causing the radio to shut off unexpectedly, and the engine is losing power while you're driving. When the engine cuts out, your transmission shifts into neutral, leaving you without power on the road. This could leave you stranded and may require diagnosis of your battery, alternator, or electrical connections.

Your headlight wiring harness overheated and burned out, causing your low beam headlights to fail. This is a known issue covered under recall 14V-101. The fix involves replacing the headlight wiring harnesses and bulbs, or the entire headlight assemblies if needed — this should be done for free at a Dodge dealer.
Parts you may need:

Your car's battery keeps dying even when the vehicle isn't running, which suggests something is draining power when the engine is off. This is preventing the car from starting reliably. The issue likely involves a parasitic drain in the electrical system that needs to be identified and fixed, which may require testing the alternator, checking for faulty components, or replacing a failing battery.

Power Train,air Bags →2 issues
Your transmission randomly shifts into neutral while driving on highways and in town, which could cause loss of power and control. Your airbag warning light is also illuminated on the dashboard. Both issues are occurring intermittently and unpredictably. Fixing these problems will likely require transmission diagnostic service and airbag system inspection or replacement.

Your car won't shift into park. You took it to a Dodge dealership and they identified this as a known recall issue that needs to be addressed.

Air Bags →2 issues
Your passenger side airbag warning light came on while driving. A mechanic found that the wiring harness connected to the passenger seat was faulty, which prevented the airbag system from working properly. The dealer confirmed this diagnosis. The fix will likely involve replacing the damaged wiring harness for the passenger seat airbag system.

Your 2012 Dodge Charger is under a recall for airbag inflators, but the replacement parts have been unavailable for a long time. You were contacted about scheduling a technician to visit your home and replace the airbag inflator, but the representative never followed up. The manufacturer has taken longer than reasonable to complete this recall repair. The fix will involve replacing your airbag inflator with an updated part once it becomes available.

Engine →2 issues
Your engine failed catastrophically at 100,000 miles while driving at 70 mph, likely due to timing chain failure. After replacing it with a refurbished engine, the same problem occurred again. You suspect the MDS (Multi-Displacement System) is causing repeated failures, and you're concerned this should be a recall issue since engine replacement is expensive.

While driving at 55 MPH, your car's engine didn't respond when you pressed the accelerator pedal. A mechanic diagnosed a failed timing chain, which is a critical engine component that controls valve timing. The timing chain will need to be replaced to restore normal acceleration and engine operation.

Tires →2 issues
Your Cooper Adventurer Tour tires developed a slow leak after 19,000 miles, losing a couple PSI per week. When you submerged the tire in water, you noticed hundreds of tiny bubbles forming along the sidewall in the design grooves, suggesting a manufacturing defect rather than road damage. This could potentially lead to a blowout, and you're concerned the other tires from the same batch may have the same flaw. The fix will likely involve contacting the tire manufacturer about a defect claim or replacing the affected tire(s) under warranty.

Your tires are wearing unevenly and losing tread faster than expected, requiring replacement. The wheel rims have developed premature rust, and the valve stem caps rusted so severely they couldn't be reused when new tires were installed. Addressing this may involve wheel balancing, alignment inspection, and applying rust-preventative coatings to the rims.

Electrical System,unknown Or Other,service Brakes →1 issue
Your car lost power and braking ability while parked on a hill. When you shifted into drive and tried to accelerate, the car started sliding downhill without responding to the gas pedal or regular brakes—only the emergency brake stopped it, and the car hit another vehicle. You believe a computer malfunction caused the loss of acceleration and braking control. The issue may require diagnostic computer scanning and inspection of the brake and engine control systems.

Power Train,engine,fuel/propulsion System →1 issue
Your 2012 Dodge Charger has experienced repeated starting and power loss issues. The red lightning bolt warning symbol appears on your dashboard, and the vehicle has completely lost power while driving on the highway—a dangerous situation that required towing multiple times. The dealership has replaced the battery, key fob, and fuel pump, but the problem persists; they now suspect a faulty starter switch, though the red lightning bolt warning remains unexplained. Getting a complete electrical diagnostic and starter switch replacement may be necessary to resolve this ongoing issue.

Engine,forward Collision Avoidance →1 issue
Your engine suddenly stopped while driving and won't start. A mechanic determined the engine is locked up, likely due to debris getting inside and damaging the bearings and pistons. The mechanic indicated this is a known issue with the 3.6L engine. Fixing this will require engine rebuild or replacement.

Power Train →1 issue
Your engine's valve lifters are failing, which is causing metal shavings from the camshaft to circulate through the engine and damage internal components. This appears to be a recurring issue affecting multiple vehicles of this model year. You may notice engine noise, loss of power, or potential engine failure if this isn't addressed. Repair will likely require partial or complete engine disassembly to replace the failed lifters and inspect the camshaft and engine block for damage.
Parts you may need:
As an Amazon Associate, MyCarTSB earns from qualifying purchases.
Service Brakes,forward Collision Avoidance →1 issue
Your brake light, ABS light, and traction control light all came on at the same time. The dealership diagnosed this as a faulty ABS module (part number 68160269AB), which Dodge has discontinued and doesn't offer aftermarket replacements for. This means you may not be able to restore ABS functionality to your vehicle, even though you're willing to pay for the repair.

Electrical System,engine,fuel/propulsion System →1 issue
Your car won't start and smells like gasoline when you try to turn it on. The engine shakes but fails to turn over. This combination of symptoms suggests a fuel system or ignition issue that needs diagnostic testing to identify whether it's a fuel pump, fuel injector, spark plug, or battery problem.

Electrical System,service Brakes,engine →1 issue
You've had multiple recall repairs done on your car since 2022, but you're still experiencing problems with the electrical system, service brakes, and engine. You've asked two local dealerships to investigate whether the recall repairs were done correctly, but both turned you away. The dealership also refused to perform a software update for your electronic transmission control system when you requested it.

Engine And Engine Cooling →1 issue
Your check engine light came on, and when driving at around 30 mph, your car shuddered, lost power, and wouldn't accelerate properly. A diagnostic scan showed a cam and crankshaft timing error (code P0016). The mechanic replaced the camshaft and oil sensors to fix the issue.
