2012 Dodge Charger Visibility Problems

ON APRIL OF 2018, MY CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON . I NOTICED MY CAR BARELY TAKING OFF AS I INCLINE A HILL OR MAKE A SUDDEN STOP. AFTER OBSERVING HOW MY CAR WAS DRIVING SUDDENLY SLOW, I THEN TOOK IT TO LANDMARK DODGE IN MORROW,GA.FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE CODE GIVEN WAS P06DD(DEALERS CODE). I HAD TO GATHER UP 2500.00 TO GET (VALVE BODY WORK) DONE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED OFF UNTIL OCTOBER 2019 WHERE I TOOK MY CAR TO AUTO ZONE FOR A FREE DIAGNOSTIC, BUT TO MY SURPRISE IT GAVE THE SAME CODE. I WORK BACK AND FORTH OUT OF TOWN SO THEREFORE I DIDN'T MAKE IT BACK IN TIME TO GET IT REINSPECTED AGAIN FOR THAT CODE. RECENTLY ON APRIL 1ST.MY CAR STALLED AND ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON INCLUDING WINDSHIELD WIPERS. I DO NOTICED FURTHER AHEAD A WEEK LATER THAT WHEN EVER I RUN OVER A POT HOLE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD IT DOES IT MORE OFTEN. AS OF NOW, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND MY CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STILL IS FAILING. I'VE OWNED MY CAR FOR 7 1/2 YEARS NOW AND DO PLAN ON KEEPING IT AROUND FOR AT LEAST 10 MORE YEARS. THE CAR RUNS GREAT AND IS GOOD ON GAS. THANKS *TR

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE WIPERS WENT ON WITHOUT ME TURNING THEM ON. THEY CONSTANTLY STAY ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ON UNLESS I PULL THE RELAY OUT. THE TURN SIGNAL/WIPER CONTROL SWITCH DOES NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THEM BEING ON/OFF, THE SPEED, AND THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID.

I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH MY WINDOWS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE PASSENGER WINDOW WOULD GO HALF WAY UP THEN GO BACK DOWN, BACK WINDOWS WOULDN'T WORK AT ALL. THEY HAD TO CHARGE THE BATTERY BECAUSE IT WAS LOW AND WOULD GO INTO BATTERY SAVING MODE AT RED LIGHTS. THEY REPLACED THE CAR RADIO BECAUSE IT WOULD CHANGE CHANNELS FOR NO REASON. THEY SAY IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ALTERNATOR BUT DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT. I HAVE CALLED THE RECALL ASSISTANCE LINE TWICE AND HAVE GOTTEN NO RESPONSE. THIS CAR COULD BE DANGEROUS TO ME AND OTHERS AND NOBODY IS TAKING IT VERY SERIOUSLY. I HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR AND MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THIS CAR. PLEASE HELP. *TR

A MODULE WENT BAD IN MY 2012 DODGE CHARGER. THE WIPER BLADES WERE STUCK ON HIGH, FULL SPEED, EVEN WITH THE CONTROL SET IN THE OFF POSITION. THE NIGHT TIME LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON, EVEN WITH THE DIAL SET TO AUTO, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP, THAT THE PART WAS ON "NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND THAT THERE WAS NO ETA ON WHEN THE PART WOULD BE IN." MY DEALERSHIP HAS LEFT ME STRANDED, WITH NO LOANER VEHICLE AND NO SOLUTIONS. *TR
