Problems with 2013 Dodge Charger ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

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.

Since 07/2017 i have been having problems with the anti -theft-code. dealership wants me to pay for a code update. no~ i feel this is a recall problem. the service center has done the recalls it required and right after these recalls i have this problem where i have to boost the car in order to turn it on. everyday now. i work at night therefore its unsafe for a single woman to be stranded 5 days a week.

Trunk no longer opens. came with trunk release button on fob, by stearing wheel and by trunk on outside, and none of these buttons actually do what they are suppose to do. it is attempting to release somehow because you can hear the trunk when any of these button are pushes, but no actual movement. huge trunk, and no way to utilize.

Passenger side window no longer operates.it is stuck in the up position, thankfully. but it does no go down, although it is trying, the noise the motor makes whem first engaged is still there in an attempt to do its job. does not go down by passenger button, does not go down by driver side button, both buttons and no it is not on lock position. safety issue yes in case there is an accident or something obstructing your door and only way to escape is through window...that wont go down.

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.

I started my car by the factory installed remote starter and was leaving a parking lot and i heard a high pitched hum coming from the engine and the 'battery saver on' light was on. i started to drive and the car was really sluggish almost to the point if i came to a complete stop it would shut down. i drover that way for about 2 miles and during that time i started to smell something burning. i shut the car off and waited about 15 minutes and restarted the car by using the push button and the message was gone, but once the car was put into drive the battery saver message came on and burning smell was back. . i had the car towed into the elgin jeep dodge dealership on a friday night (about an hour after everything happened) and on monday i was told that nothing showed up and that it was probably the alternator but since no error codes showed they can't do anything, even though there is a recall (#t36/ nhtsa 17v-435) for the alternator. they told me that i should take the car back and hope that it doesn't happen again and when the parts come in for the recall come back and get it fix then. i did contact fiat chrysler automobiles (fca) to try and get it temporary fix but due to there being no error codes they will not fix anything. after researching this problem it seems to me that the fca will not fix anything until the car starts on fire. i drive about 40 miles a day on an expressway where speeds are about 60-70 mph, i don't feel safe that the alternator will just go and the car will stop. i feel that since there was a sign of issues that something should be fixed.

I noticed that my lights were dimming as i am driving regularly so. while wating on the new alternator to come in so that i can be get this problem fixed since april 2017. the alternator drained my battery. dodge would not replace the battery so i went and purchased on a few days later while the charger sat for 3 days with no power. once i put the new battery in the everything came back on so i took the car out for a drive and in just under 5 min smoke was coming from my hood. pulled over to an auto parts store to get some help and the alternator starts sparking and once i was able to pull the battery out for it to stop pulling power the people at the parts store told me that this car is unsafe to drive and i agree. i sent it back to the dealership and i have it back now but i'm afraid to drive this thing with my girl and our kids can you help. i just got out of the military and i'm driving a car that i feel is unsafe with 6 recalls two of them being the alternator.

Nhtsa recall number 17v-435 announced (6/9/2017) the alternator may experience diode thermal fatigue failure due to cyclical loads induced by electro-hydraulic power steering. attempts to arrange addressing this recall with dodge dealerships in port jervis (port jervis auto mall & manhattan jeep chrysler dodge) in september and october 2017 both were unsuccessful, with both dealerships indicating they were not being supplied with the replacement alternators by dodge, and therefore could not carry out the recall service. port jervis auto mall said that i could purchase the replacement alternator and pay for the service to replace it, submit the receipts to dodge, but that they could not guarantee that dodge would reimburse if done this way. i have learned that failure of this diode and the alternator while driving could result in the electrical system shutting down, losing power steering and brakes, with high danger of causing an accident. why is dodge not addressing this very dangerous situation?

I purchased my 2013 dodge charger from anderson toyota of lake havasu city, arizona as a certified pre-owned vehicle last year. i have since come to discover that the vehicle has 5 active safety recalls, none of which were addressed or fixed prior to the dealership selling me the car. several of the recalls have been in place for years, but i was never informed that i was being sold a vehicle known to be unsafe. i am now paying on a financed vehicle that cannot be driven out of town, due to known defects that were in place at the time of purchase.

When driving i could hear a noise which i thought was the transmission them i could smell a faint smell of burning plastic. then the battery saver light came on. i called the dealer and they told me to bring it in. never made it. got about 2 miles and abs light came on and traction control light came on. the brakes would engage on their on their own finally the car started to stall and coasted to a stop. when stopped the windshield wipers were running slowly. had to have the car towed to dealer at my cost. they said alternator was burned up and it also burned up the battery. extended warranty will pay for alternator but not the battery. car has 43000 miles.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge charger. while driving 10 mph, the contact heard a whining noise and the abs, traction, and battery saver indicators illuminated. the contact stated that he was able to drive the vehicle home at a slow rate of speed. while pulling into the driveway, the contact noticed smoke coming from the front of the vehicle. the contact parked, exited the vehicle, opened the hood, and saw smoke. the vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. the contact called the dealer (larry h. miller dodge ram havana, 2727 s havana st, denver, co 80014 (720) 907-1243) to inquire about an alternator recall because his previous dodge charger was included in a recall for the alternator. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 40,900.

The car was shut down for 1 1/2 hours and sitting in a parking lot with nothing running or on. when the car was started as normal, there was an odd sound coming from under the hood. i popped the hood and noticed smoke coming from the alternator. i shut the car down and black smoke was coming from the alternator. i heard popping and sizzling coming from the alternator.

For some reason no matter how many times i replace it, the front fuse for the a.c. where the engine is located keeps getting something burned on the side of it causing my a.c. to stop blowing cool air. it doesn't matter if the car is in motion or not. i have seen a lot of other people that own this type of car having the same problem.

I was driving from tulsa to joplin when the battery saver light came on. shortly after i lost all digital gauges and power steering. car shut off and became hard to control. i was in left lane on interstate with tractor trailers in the right lane, car slowed to around 10 miles an hour as i tried to get across right lane onto shoulder. car in right lane would not move and almost caused accident. was able to get car to shoulder. original alternator failed at 130,000 miles. dodge wanted over 600 dollars to replace and said the original recall did not effect my model. purchased a second alternator from autozone but it was dead out of the box. third alternator lasted from september 2016 to july 2017. installed fourth alternator on 7/15/2017 but diagnostics shows the regulator is failing. autozone is telling me that dodge has other issues causing failure. problem i have is dodge would not replace the original alternator as it was not included in recall.

Intermittent electrical problems such as the windshield wipers coming on, heater turning on, gauges blinking on and off, failure to start and stalling while driving. i assumed the alternator was bad so i attempted to drive it to my local repair shop and the vehicle died in the driveway. i had to have it towed to an automotive shop. they told me that the battery was fried and they would have to replace it to diagnose the vehicle. as soon as a new battery was installed it immediately fried that battery and they said that the alternator was generating heat and beginning to smoke. they told me that there was a major electrical short that they could not diagnose and sent it to a dodge dealership for diagnosis. this particular vin number is not under the current recall but all of the symptoms the car was having is exactly what is described in the recall notice.
