2014 Dodge Charger Electrical Problems

Your alternator and battery have needed to be replaced three times in the past year, suggesting a recurring electrical charging problem. You've noticed other Dodge Chargers have a recall for similar issues, but your vehicle's VIN isn't included on that recall list. The fix will likely involve diagnosing why the alternator keeps failing to properly charge the battery, which may require checking the charging system circuit and potentially replacing the alternator or having the electrical system inspected for a defect.

Your car stalled while driving and lost power, with the check engine light coming on. The engine restarted, but the stalling happened again. You also noticed several other warning lights appearing on your dashboard while driving. The dealer was contacted but didn't diagnose or fix the problem. The issue likely involves your engine's fuel or ignition system, or possibly a faulty sensor sending wrong signals to the engine computer.

Your ABS (anti-lock brake), brake, and electronic stability control warning lights all came on together. A mechanic told you that your ABS module needs to be replaced, but it's no longer available for your vehicle. Without a working ABS system, your brakes could lock up during sudden stops, which increases your risk of skidding or losing control.

The alternator failed while the vehicle was in operation and it stalled without warning on the highway at 55 mph. This left the car without power steering and a dangerous situation until I was able to get the car to the side of the road. I was left stranded halfway on/off the road until I could get a wrecker to come tow. Towed the vehicle to he nearest automotive service center where I was told the alternator failed. It also shorted out the battery. Alternator, battery, and tow was $1200.00. I see recalls on the internet for my year and model car for the alternator but when I enter my VIN, it does not show up for my individual car. Why is that?

Vehicle security light blinking. Car shutting off after starting. The wireless module does not recognize the key. Can’t drive vehicle

MY STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THE SAME DAY I WENT UP A STEEP DRIVEWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AS MY TIRES SLIPPED ON SOME SAND BUT THE LIGHT TURNED RIGHT OFF. THIS TIME IT HAS STAYED ON AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE MULTI-AXIS ACCELERATION SENSOR (AKA DYNAMIC SENSOR) INTERNAL FAILURE. FIRESTONE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PART GOING OUT NOR HAS MY MECHANIC. I AM HOPING SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THIS PART GETS RECALLED AS I DO BELIEVE THE STEEP DRIVEWAY CAUSED THIS ISSUE WHICH SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I AM ABLE TO STILL DRIVE MY CAR BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOW DISABLED AS THE CAR THINKS THE CAR CAN BE UNSTABLE/UNSAFE IN CRUISE CONTROL MODE.

FIRST MY CAR WOULD NOT DETECT MY KEYS (EVEN AFTER I REPLACED BATTER). WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD RANDOMLY COME ON AND OFF EVEN AFTER GETTING ALL REPAIRS COMPLETED. ONE DAY IT REPEATEDLY FLASHED ON AND OFF AND KEEPS CONSTANTLY. MY CAR WAS ALSO JUMPING AND VIBRATING EXTREMELY HARD AND THE ENGINE WAS TICKING. GOING SLOW OR SLOWING DOWN, MY CAR HAS A HARD TIME TURNING. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND RAN AN DIAGNOSTICS. AFTERWARDS I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING AND WHAT THE DIAGNOSTIC SAID. I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT FIXED. MOREOVER, MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I DO NOT HAVE A RENTAL. THE LAST TIME I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR RECALLS, I WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY RENTALS AND I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE MY OWN. ALSO, THEY NEVER TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL WITH MY BRAKE CHOCKS WEREN'T REPLACED. THE INDIVIDUALS WORKING IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIDN'T ACT REALLY PROFESSIONAL. THEY WERE DEMEANING AND SQUARING ME OF THINGS THAT I DIDN'T DO OR AGREE TO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER FOR SOME ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THE CONTACT ALSO HAD A RECALL AND THAT WORK WAS COMPLETED. AFTER THAT VISIT, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THE CONTACT HAD HER BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED OUT BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND ALL WAS FINE. AFTERWARDS THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN, THE RADIO AND THE A/C, AND THE WINDOW WIPERS WOULD TURN ON BY THEMSELVES. WHEN THAT HAPPENED THE ENTIRE CONSOLE WOULD LIGHT UP AS WELL. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER GOSSETT CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, RAM 1901 COVINGTON PIKE, MEMPHIS, TN 38128 (901) 363-6556 AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY STILL UNREPAIRED AT THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I OWN A 2014 DODGE CHARGER SE AND HAD A FAULTY ALTERNATOR. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. PER NHTSA'S RECALL T36 AND T75 SOME ALTERNATORS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED MY VEHICLES ALTERNATOR. BEFORE MAY 27TH, 2018, OUR ALTERNATOR FAILED. THE CAR WOULD NOT START, AT THE TIME WE WERE NOT SURE IF IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. I HAD A LOCAL AUTO STORE TEST THE ALTERNATOR AND IT PASSED. SO, WE PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY. WE BELIEVED THAT RESOLVED THIS ISSUE. AFTER A MONTH, THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. IT APPEARS THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT CHARGING THE BATTERY CORRECTLY. THE ISSUE WAS HIT OR MISS LUCKILY, WE DID NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. THIS CAR IS NOT AN EVERYDAY VEHICLE SO IT COULD GO A COUPLE OF WEEKS WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN. TO ALLEVIATE THE ISSUE, I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR ON SEPTEMBER 15TH 2018. SINCE THAT TIME EVERYTHING HAS BEEN WORKING CORRECTLY. ATTACHED ARE A PHOTO OF THE OEM ALTERNATOR, THE AFTERMARKET ALTERNATOR, AND RECEIPT. I BELIEVE DODGE CHRYSLER SHOULD EXTEND THEIR CURRENT RECALLS TO INCLUDE THE DENSO 42100 ' 0750 ALTERNATOR. ON MAY 27TH, 2018 OUR ALTERNATOR FAILED. AT THE TIME WE WERE. *TR

CAR DISPLAYING BATTERY SAVER MODE HAVE HAD BATTERY CHECKED AND ALWAYS WITH A PASSING DIAGNOSIS I HAVE GOTTEN CAR CHECKED AND IT MIGHT BE A FAULTY ALTERNATOR CAR HAS DONDE THIS SINCE STARTING OF SECOND YEAR OF PURCHASE BUT NEVER HAVE OUT MUCH ATTENTION TO THIS U TIL NOW THAT CAR SHUTS OFF AND HAVE TO GET JUMPED IN ORDER TO START I HAVE SEEN IN FORUMS THAT PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND IS REOCCURRING IN THIS MODEL AND YEAR

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY DEFECT CAUSES CAR TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. LIGHTING BOLT FLASHES THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN THE WARNING LIGHTS FLASH BOLT AND ENGINE THEN THE CARS SHUTSOFF. VERY DANGEROUS

TODAY MY CAR TURNED OFF ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT OF NO WHERE. I HAVE STATED TO THE DEALER FOR YEARS THAT IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR A CAR TO SAY BATTERY SAVER MODE AND LIGHTS, RADIO, DASH AND ALL ELECTRICAL DEVICES IN A VEHICLE TO TURN OF OR STUTTER OF AND ON. THEY SAID IT IS NORMAL AND THAT IT IS MY BATTERY. IF A CAR TURNS ON THE ALTERNATOR IS SUPPOSED TO TAKE ALL THE LOAD OFF OF THE BATTERY RUNNING IN THE ENGINE NOTHING ELSE. MY CAR HAS STUTTERED MULTIPLE TIME OFF AND IN WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN ALMOST TURNED OFF. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR DRIVING AROUND, BECAUSE CAR COULD TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND I LOSE ALL CONTROL OFF THE VEHICLE STEERING, BRAKES AND ACCELERATING. WHEN I THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF TODAY I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE CAR STARTED TO STUTTER AND THEN IT JUST TURNED OFF WHEN THE GREEN LIGHT TURNED ON. I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE A PICTURE TODAY AND I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND IT IS ILLEGAL TO DRIVE AND USE A PHONE. I HAVE MULTIPLE PICTURE FROM THE PAST BUT WAS ONLY ABLE TO UPLOAD ONE

THE ISSUE IS IF YOU TURN OFF THE CAR IT GOES AWAY. I WAS INFORMED TO BRING IT BACK IN IF THE "BATTERY SAVER MODE" COMES BACK ON BUT IF THE PLACE ISN'T OPENED THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO SO. I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE FIXED, MY CAR CUTS OFF AT TIMES WHEN I START IT AND DRIVE OFF IN THE MORNING WHEN IT'S COLDER AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS WHICH THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE CAR COMPANY AS WELL.

MY 2014 DODGE CHARGER HAS 55,000 MILES. THE CAR HAS A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IF MY CAR WAS TO LOSE ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING I RUN A RISK OF CRASHING INTO SOMEONE OR SOMETHING POSSIBLY KILLING ANOTHER PERSON OR MYSELF. I WAS TOLD BY THE DODGE DEALERSHIP THAT IT IS A "FAULTY" TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER SYSTEM ALSO KNOWN AS THE TIPM. AS UPON READING CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS FOR CHRYSLERS "FAULTY" TIPM. PLEASE HELP ME FIX MY ISSUE AS THIS IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE TO DRIVE BEING THAT IT COULD LOSE POWER AT ANY GIVEN TIME.

MY 2014 DODGE CHARGER IS BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT OF LHM DODGE IN TUCSON, AZ. BY 13,978 MY CAR SMELLED LIKE SULFUR WHILE IN MOTION. DRIVING SLUGGISHLY, AND THE "BATTERY SAVER MODE" LIGHT ON. BROUGHT INTO LARRY H MILLER FOR REPAIR. WAS TOLD THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED REPLACED AFTER 13,975 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AT 14,100 MILES THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING THE SAME SMELL, AND THE BATTERY SAFER MODE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN . RETURNED IT TO LHM WITH COMPLAINTS. THEY SAY "IT'S NORMAL" MANAGER TOLD ME "DODGE JUST DIDN'T MAKE THE ALTERNATOR BIG ENOUGH FOR THAT ENGINE, MANUFACTURER FLAW"AT 14,432 MILES, THE VEHICLE NOT BLOWING COLD AIR. BATTERY SAVER MODE LIGHT WAS STILL ON, SMELLED LIKE SULFUR AND CAR WAS DRIVING SLUGGISH. I OPENED CASE WITH CORPORATE. THEY "FIXED" IT, AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. ON JUNE 17, 2016, MY VEHICLE WAS DRIVING SLUGGISHLY, THE ENGINE LIGHT ON, CALLED DODGE IMMEDIATELY AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER. I CALLED JIM CLICK IMMEDIATELY TO GET MY VEHICLE IN. MY VEHICLE WAS 23,900 MILES. DODGE CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT GET ME IN UNTIL JULY 1ST AND THAT ITS "FINE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AS LONG AS THE LIGHT ISN'T FLASHING". BROUGHT IN FOR "REPAIR" ON JUNE 1ST. I DROVE A RENTAL CAR FROM FRIDAY JUNE 1ST-JUNE 8TH, THE "CLUSTER" IN THE DASH WAS NOT READING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS "ALL FIXED". WHEN THE VEHICLE PULLED UP I GOT IN AND BEGAN TO PULL AWAY AS MY DASHBOARD WENT BLACK. I TURNED AROUND. MY ADVISOR BROUGHT IT BACK AND EXPLAINED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE "RESET" BUT THAT HE'LL ORDER A NEW CLUSTER. I GET INTO MY VEHICLE THERE IS AN "ERROR" SIGN WHERE THE MILAGE IS SUPPOSED TO BE. I THAT I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I EXPRESSED HOW UPSET I WAS ABOUT THE SITUATION AND HE SAID TO ME "YOU'LL BE FINE TO DRIVE IT, IT WON'T SHUT OFF". I GET HOME STARTED IT, AND THE ENTIRE DASH SHUTS OFF. MY CAR IS NOW BEING TOWED AGAIN TO JIM CLICK DODGE.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT FULL SPEED A MESSAGE APPEARED ON VEHICLE INSTRUMENT PANEL: BATTERY SAVER MODE. WAS CONCERNED AS I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE MESSAGE MEANT. WAS NOT MENTIONED IN THE OWNER MANUAL. LOOKED UP MESSAGE ON DODGE CHARGER FORUM, REALIZED THAT MY VEHICLE FALLS WITHIN YEARS FOR RECALL, WITH 160 AMP ALTERNATOR, BUT MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL NOR HAVE I BEEN CONTACTED. PERHAPS IT, ALONG WITH OTHERS, SHOULD BE TO WARN OWNERS OF POTENTIAL ISSUES. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE MESSAGE TO INDICATE THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE SERVICED, ALTHOUGH TO MY UNDERSTANDING IT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF POWER TO THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.

RADIO SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT TURN ON WHILE DRIVING TO DESTINATION. ONCE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION, I HAD THE CAR IN PARK, BUT THE ENGINE STILL TURNED ON. ALL OF THE GAUGES IN THE DASHBOARD STARTED GOING CRAZY AND THEN THE INSIDE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. THE CAR THEN SHUT OFF AND HAD ABSOLUTELY NO POWER WHATSOEVER. COULD NOT EVEN PUT MY CAR IN "NEUTRAL" TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE IT IS "PUSH TO START" AND HAS NO WAY OF GETTING POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION TO BE ABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WAITING FOR DODGE'S ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO GET THERE FROM 12:00 AM UNTIL 5:30 AM. THE TOW TRUCK EVENTUALLY CAME AND TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THAT MY ALTERNATOR WENT OUT AND COMPLETELY DRAINED THE BATTERY AS WELL. MY CAR WAS ONLY 3 THOUSAND MILES OUTSIDE OF THE 36K BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. WELL TIMED, DODGE!! WAY TO GET OUT OF PAYING FOR YOUR MISTAKES!! *TR
