2010 Dodge Charger Electrical Problems

Your car's engine shuts off while you're driving, and the key feels loose in the ignition. This has happened multiple times on the highway, making it dangerous because you lose power steering and braking. The problem likely involves the ignition switch or electrical connection that keeps the engine running.

Your ignition switch won't turn to the off position, leaving you unable to shut down the engine normally. You have to disconnect the battery from the trunk to stop the vehicle. You've found evidence that many 2010 Chargers built in February have this same issue, and there's a recall notice for vehicles built between January and March, but your VIN isn't showing the recall in the system. The fix will likely involve replacing the ignition switch assembly.

The electrical system in your vehicle has a fire-related concern. Review the attached document for specific details about the issue and any symptoms you may be experiencing.

Your car sometimes fails to start without any warning lights coming on, though it will occasionally start. An independent mechanic couldn't determine the cause, and Dodge confirmed your vehicle isn't covered by the related recall. The issue likely involves the starting or electrical charging system and may require a full diagnostic to identify whether it's the starter motor, battery, or alternator.

Your car's ignition switch allows the key to fall out or be removed even when the engine is running or the transmission isn't in park. This is a safety concern because the engine could shut off while driving, and the steering wheel could lock up unexpectedly. The ignition switch mechanism likely needs to be repaired or replaced to restore proper function.

Your 2010 Dodge Charger has a recalled Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) component. This is a known issue that Dodge has identified and issued a recall for. You should contact your Dodge dealer to have this component inspected and replaced under the recall at no cost to you.

Your car has experienced electrical power failures throughout the summer and fall, including random voltage drops and warning lights that reduced engine power while driving on the highway. In some cases, the engine shut off completely while idling. The problem came to a head in late November 2020 when the electrical warning light came on at a stoplight and your engine died and wouldn't restart. The dealership says your alternator and battery need replacement, and you're seeking coverage under a safety recall.

Your fuel gauge isn't reading correctly, and when you're filling up at the pump, gasoline sometimes spits back out at you even though your tank isn't full. This suggests a problem with either the fuel level sensor or the filler neck vent system. The issue will likely require inspection and replacement of the fuel gauge sender unit or fuel filler neck components.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE KEY FELL OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START WHEN TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER AND AN UNKNOWN DEALER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

I CANNOT GET MY KEY OUT AFTER STARTING THE CAR. DODGE DEALER SAID I NEED A NEW STEERING WHEEL SYSTEM PART NO. 5057552AD WHICH COST $5,163.34. THE PART THAT IS BAD IS THE STEERING WHEEL MODULE PART NO. 68040075AA. MY QUESTION IS WHY THE STEERING WHEEL MODULE PART HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED?

MY KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION AFTER RUNNING THE CAR. I HAVE TO PULL OUT THE FUSE #8 IN THE TRUNK AND I HEAR A CLICK AND IT RESETS AND THEN I CAN GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION TURNING IT TO THE LEFT.

SAFETY RECALL K08. WIRELESS IGNITION NODE KEY FALLS OUT OF IGNITION, CAR KEEPS RUNNING, CAN'T SHUT OFF UNLESS DISCONNECT BATTERY. CAR ALSO SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF AT TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. PURCHASED CAR ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE $1250 TO FIX IT BECAUSE CAR NOT SHOWING ANY OPEN RECALLS. MAY HAVE BEEN FIXED ONE TIME BEFORE WE PURCHASED IT BUT IT IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT RECALL PROBLEM IS RIGHT NOW. NOT SURE IF IT WAS EVER TAKEN CARE OF.

RECENTLY I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND NOW THE CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED SOME TYPE OF MODULE THAT READS THE KEYS, FIRST THEY STATED THE FUSE BOX IN THE TRUNK WAS THE PROBLEM. THEY INSTALLED A NEW FUSE BOX AND THEY THEN STATED THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. NEXT IS WHEN THEY REPLACED THE MODULE THAT READS THE KEYS, AND THEN THEY STATED THAT ALL THE FUSES WERE BLOWN AND THERE HAD TO BE A POWER SURGE THERE WAS NOT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DIDN'T SEE THE BLOWN FUSES WHEN THEY STARTED THIS WHOLE PROCESS. ALSO, THEY STATED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON 2010 DODGE CHARGERS WITH THE MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE KEYS HOWEVER MY CAR WAS 10 DAYS OUTSIDE OF THE BUILD DATE TO QUALIFY. WHAT IS GOING AND WHY WOULD MY CAR BE OUTSIDE THE BUILD DATE? THEY STATED THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS NOW. THE OFFICIAL DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS MY CAR AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS.

WIFE WAS DRIVING CHARGER WHEN THE GAUGES, RADIO, AC WENT HAY WIRE AND A FEW SECONDS LATER THE CAR JUST DIED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WOULD NOT START BACK. HAD CAR WAS TOWED AND VERY COSTLY AS SHE WAS FAR FROM HOME. FROM WHAT I COULD FIND ONLINE IT SOUNDED LIKE THE BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR, REMOVED BOTH AND HAD THEM TESTED AND BOTH ARE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER.

HAD TO FIGHT LIKE [XXX] TO TURN THE WHEEL AND USE THE BRAKES TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP. I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE WITH NO SUCCESS. IT KEPT TURNING OVER MAKING A "RU RUR RUR RUR RUR" SOUND WHICH WAS ACCOMPANIED BY THE SMELL OF WIRES BURNING AND A RED LIGHTNING BOLT THAT APPEARED ON THE DASH. TRIED TO START AGAIN, IT BECAME WORSE. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING YET. CALLED DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY COULD SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT, THEY RELUCTANTLY DECLINED TO DO SO IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE. THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED THAT IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. DODGE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ASAP.

N/S

CAR SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE GOING DOWN INTERSTATE 70 MILES AND HOUR LEFT LANE PASSING TRAFFIC, NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES. THANKFULLY A TRUCKER SAW MY DISTRESS AND LET ME OVER TO GET OFF INTERSTATE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND BODILY INJURY AS AIR BAGS WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED EITHER. WOULD NOT RESTART HAD TO HAVE TOWED, STARTER REPLACED, NOT THE ISSUE. UPON RESEARCH IT APPEARS THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH SEVERAL CHARGERS AND OTHER MODELS PRODUCED BY CHRYSLER. APPEARS TO BE A WIN MODULE ISSUE BUT NO RECALLS ONLY FOR THE T& C . WIN MODULE IS BEING REPLACED AT A HEARTY PRICE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO THIS SITUATION AS THE WIN MODULE IS BEING USED IN NEWER MODELS. AND THIS RANDOM SHUTTING OFF IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE PUT APPEARS TO JUST KEEP GETTING PUSHED ASIDE. WILL HAVE REPAIR BILLS AVAILABLE ONCE COMPLETED.

HAD MY FIRST PROBLEM WITH MY 2010 DODGE CHARGER R/T ~ 6K MILES ON THE CLOCK. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN ~ 5 DEGREE F TEMPS - THE CAR WAS FULLY WARMED UP AND IT WAS AROUND 9AM IN THE MORNING, THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED, WITH ALL THE ERROR INDICATORS COMING ON. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS POWER STEERING AND BRAKING WENT OUT. I STOPPED THE CAR, CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD FOR SOME SORT OF VISIBLE DAMAGE. SEEING NONE & CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL - I WENT TO RESTART AND FOUND THAT THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN OVER. DOUBLE CHECKED I WAS IN PARK, EVERYTHING WAS SQUARED AWAY - TOOK THE KEY OUT - PUT IT BACK IN, TURNED - AND HEARD A SINGLE IGNITION - LIKE ONE COIL WENT OFF - THEN STOPPED. TRIED IT AGAIN, WOULDN'T TURN OVER. SO I CALL DODGE ROADSIDE FOR A TOW AND SIT THERE FOR 10 MINUTES. WHILE WAITING I DECIDED TO THEN TRY IT AGAIN, THEN MAGICALLY THE STARTER ACTUALLY GOES AND IT TURNS OVER. I WAS MAYBE 5 MILES AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP - SO I TOOK IT STRAIGHT THERE WHERE THEY TOOK A LOOK AT IT. FOR WHATEVER REASON, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM NOR TELL ME WHY IT OCCURRED OR HOW I CAN PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE. *TR
