2013 Dodge Charger Brakes Problems

A few weeks ago I was traveling on unfamiliar curvy roads. It had recently rained. I fishtailed going through the curve, and my breaks locked up. Not long after I had the famous “Christmas Tree Lights” on my dash which are the ABS, Break, and FCW. Went to Advance Auto Parts to check code, and it was C2200-49. Took to dealership and paid $200+ to learn the same. They quoted $1955 alone for the ABS Control Module because the part was discontinued by Mopar in 2025. Took to an independent shop for a recheck, and they confirmed they could not fix it because they couldn’t guarantee an added part would work since they were discontinued. I haven’t driven the vehicle for a month, and I’m wary of buying a remanufactured part on eBay. I researched and found the code is a processor failure pandemic on 2011-2014 models, and there was a massive national level backorder even before the part was discontinued. Mopar & Dodge need to make this right with a safety recall. My research shows it is unsafe to drive! Please help!! A recall was issued for Dodge Ram Trucks! 2013 Dodge Charger SXT with adaptive cruise control should be added. Thank you for your time!

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Charger. While attempting to make a right turn, the brake pedal was depressed, and the brake pedal became firm. To avoid crashing with the vehicle ahead, the contact veered out of the lane and the parking brake independently activated and the vehicle jerked to a stop with the parking brake warning light illuminated. The vehicle was coasted to the shoulder and was later towed to a dealer to be diagnosed. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle with brake booster failure and informed the contact that the brake booster needed to be replaced. The vehicle remained with the dealer unrepaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

The abs module lights came on and is not functioning properly. I contacted the dealership and the part has been on back order for years. The abs light, traction, and brake light is on simultaneously. Subsequently my wheel is locked up causing my car to not move at all and brake pedal has no pressure.

BRAKES- TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE OF MY CAR ISN'T HEATED UP TO THE THIRD LINE. ENGINE- LOUD TICKING. MECHANIC SAID 1 OUT OF 12 LIFTERS IN DRIVER'S SIDE CYLINDER HAS COLLAPSED. POWER TRAIN- WHEN I ACCELERATE IN OVER DRIVE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR A COUPLE DAYS. WHEN I DIAGNOSE IT, IT SAYS TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE. (OVERDRIVE FAILURE) SO I'M GUESSING I HAVE NO OVERDRIVE UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHUTS BACK OFF. (WHO KNOWS) DODGE/CHRYSTLER NEEDS TO CHECK INTO THE QUALITY OF THE CARS THEY'RE PRODUCING. I WILL NEBER BUY ANOTHER DODGE/CHRYSTLER/JEEP
