ABS module needs to be replaced and they stopped making the part. Lights are on all the time with no cruise control and the advanced brake system no longer works. Nobody has the part. They do not make it anymore.
The just went off on the dash and they stoped working abs traction control emergency brake light is on and idk what the problem is I scanned it and nothing
At 65 mph with the adaptive cruse on, all of a sudden, the FCW light came on and almost rear ended the car in front of me. I lost antilock,cruse, and fcw. I also have less brake pedal. Took to Dodge dealer in Emporia Ks. Said anti-lock brake hydraulic control unit was bad. Part #68236997aa. Dodge discontinued and no aftermarket replacement. I am probably not the only person with this safety problem.
The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the message "Service Transmission" displayed, with a grinding sound coming from the transmission. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was taken to the local auto parts store and the message "Lost Communication with ECM and PCM" was displayed. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer was notified of the failure. Additionally, the cruise control was inoperable, and the ABS warning light remained illuminated while operating the vehicle. The cause of the failures were not yet determined. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 33,665.
My ABS, BRAKE & ESC lights all came on at the same time on my dash. Took my car to a reputable mechanic and they told me that my abs module needed to be replaced but they were no longer available. So now I have to drive my car and worry about my brakes locking up if I have to come to a sudden stop for some reason since the anti-lock brakes are not working.
When attempting to apply brakes, the pedal sunk to the floor with no result. On subsequent attempts, the left front brake activated and locked up while there was no apparent effect on the other 3 wheels. The car veered to the left as a result of the one brake being applied, and began to travel down the road at an angle of about 45 degrees. Correction was required to steer out, the brake remained locked up and not responding to the pedal. Automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems did not activate and my vehicle collided with the one ahead. AWD seemed to activate just prior to the collision, which assisted in correcting the brake lockup. Inspection of the vehicle seems to indicate electrical issues caused a brake booster fault, and likely caused failure of the emergency braking systems to activate. These issues first appeared the day of the accident, no error messages or trouble codes were present. It appears the braking system is faulty, due to electronic controls, seemingly. The car is available for inspection. The left front rotor is scored deeply and the artifacts on the asphalt indicate that the left front tire was dragging/skidding up to the point of impact.
When I bought the car all brake lights were on. I took it to Landers and they diagnosed the problem as a bad ABS control module and another part connected to it. I'm unable to use cruise control and my traction control is off as well. The warning lights will occasionally go off but they are usually on. Also the manufacturer has discontinued the parts I need so I can't get them to fix the issues.
CAR STILL ROLLING AFTER COMPLICATED EFFORTS TO EXIT IN AND OUT OF VEHICLE AS THE CAR IS STILL IN GEAR IT KEEPS ON ROLLING. IT TAKES TREMENDOUS EFFORT AND CONCENTRATION OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DANGER WHENEVER EXITING IN AND OUT OF MY CAR. THIS IS PRETTY SCARY.
SAFETY AUTO PARK FUNCTION IS STILL STICKING EVEN AFTER THE RECALL REPLACEMENT- THE DEALER SAYS THE ONLY DO FOLLOW UP REPAIRS ON RECALLS 2 YEARS AFTER THE REPLACEMENT. I UNDERSTAND THE TIMEFRAME IS 10 YEARS NOT 2 BUT THEY WILL NOT HONOR
WHEN I DRIVING (I MOTION) I FEEL LIKE THE CAR WANTS TO TURN IT OFF BY IT SELF, THE PANEL LOOKS LIKE IF I TURN IT ON AND OFF, AND IT WONT START WHEN I SPEED UP

WHILE DRIVING FREEWAY, HIGHWAY, IN A PARKING LOT OR AT A STOP LIGHT MY CARS ELECTRONICS ARE SHUTTING OFF AND OCCASIONALLY THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND MY STEERING LOCKS UP. SOUNDS LIKE THE P60 RECALL BUT MY CAR VIN DOES NOT QUALIFY BUT HAD ALL THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS CAR IS MY ONLY WAY TO WORK AND IT'S BEEN GETTING WORSE AND I HAVE BEEN DENIED A FIX ON THIS. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL
ALL DASH WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON. LOSS OF POWER STEERING TRANS SLIPPERY AND STICKING.
(PAB) I HAVE 2 RECALLS ON MY 2014 DODGE CHARGER THAT ARE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. THE AIR MAY EJECT METAL FRAGMENTS INTO THE INTERIOR OF CAR WHICH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH UPON COLLISION. I ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIME TODAY TO GET ASSISTANCE FROM CHRYSLER/DODGE WITH A LOANER/RENTAL CAR UNTIL MY VEHICLE COULD BE FIXED. THE AIR BAGS NEEDED TO RESOLVE THE SAFETY ISSUE WILL NOT BE IN UNTIL AFTER FEB 26TH CAUSING ME NOT TO HAVE ADEQUATE SAFE TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK AND FOR MY FAMILY. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH 2 LANE HIGHWAYS AND TRAVEL 49.5 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK EACH DAY WITH DEER AND OTHER ANIMALS CONSTANTLY RUNNING INTO THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT I JUST NEED TO BE CAREFUL DRIVING BUT WAS ADVISED BY INSURANCE AGENT TO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL FIXED AS ACCIDENTS HAPPEN UNANNOUNCED AND DAILY. NOONE WITHIN THE CHRYSLER ORGANIZATION WAS WILLING TO ASSIST ME WITH A RENTAL OR LOANER VEHICLE. I WAS CALLED BY AN AGENT WHO SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR MONDAY, FEB 18TH @ 3:30 KNOWING THAT THE AIR BAG WAS NOT IN STOCK. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET AND EXHAUSTED WITH THE 4 + HOURS I SPENT ON THE PHONE TODAY TO NOT RECEIVE ANY RESOLUTION. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE FROM CHRYSLER AGAIN AND REALLY NEED A SAFE RIDE FOR MYSELF, WIFE, 5 AND 6 YEAR OLDS, AND 2 WEEK OLD SON TO TRAVEL UNTIL THIS ISSUE CAUSED BY CHRYSLER IS RESOLVED.
WHILE DRIVING, I CONDUCTED A NORMAL PASS ON A TWO LANE ROAD. WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATION PEDAL, THE CAR TOOK OFF AT A DRAMATIC PACE. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE WELL OVER 100 MPH. DRAGGING THE BRAKE KEPT THE CAR FROM CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE TO ITS FULL CAPACITY. SHIFTING IN NEUTRAL HAD NO EFFECT AS THE ENGINE MAINTAINED ITS FULL RPM. WHILE IN NEUTRAL, THE CAR'S COMPUTER WOULD NOT ALLOW THE ENGINE TO BE SHUT OFF DISPLAYING A MESSAGE THAT THE CAR HAD TO BE IN PARK BEFORE THAT WAS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN. PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, APPLIED FULL BRAKING, AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO A STANDSTILL AS THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN AT FULL RPM. SHIFTED TO PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I LET IT SIT FOR 10 MINUTES AND STARTED IT AGAIN. CAR PERFORMED NORMAL. DODGE HAS A KNOWN ISSUE/RECALL FOR THE SAME SITUATION WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL AND I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS PRESENT WHILE NOT USING CRUISE CONTROL AS WELL. LESS THAN A MONTH AGO, THE CAR WAS SERVICED AT THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER UNDER THE RECALL TO CORRECT THE CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE. *DSY

WHILE MAKING A STOP, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS. THE SERVICE CENTER MANAGER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. A DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO PROPERLY ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO IDLE HIGHLY.

I AM ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY CURRENTLY SERVING OVERSEAS AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SHIP MY VEHICLE YET BECAUSE I'M STILL WAITING ON THE RECALLS TO CLEAR SO THAT I CAN PROVIDE THE SHIPPING AGENCY WITH A RECALL LETTER. PLEASE PROVIDE ME WITH GUIDANCE TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU!
WAS DRIVING ON A CLEAR DAY WHEN, MY TRACTION CONTROL WENT ON AND OFF BY ITSELF AND THE ABS WENT OFF BY ITSELF CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL, IT WAS HARD TO PULL OVER WITH THE ABS GOING ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN. AWD SYSTEM ALSO WENT ON AND OFF ON ITS OWN. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER THE VERY NEXT MORNING THEY KEPT CAR THE WHOLE DAY AND WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE AND THAT THEY GOT NO CODES. I HAD TEST THE CAR FOR CODES AFTER THE INCIDENT HAD TAKEN PLACE AND I GOT THE FOLLOWING COEDS. U0415 ' ABS, C147B FRONT AXLE DISCONNECTED SENSOR. YET THE DEALER GAVE ME THE CAR THAT I STILL UNDER WARRANTY BACK, WITH THEIR OWN INVOICE STATING NO CODES. I TEST THE CAR FOR CODES WHEN I GOT FROM THE CAR DEALER AND SOME OF THE CODES WERE CLEARED, EXPECT FOR ABS U0415. THE CAR IS CLEARLY NOT FINE AND THE AWD SYSTEM IS STILL NOT WORKING THE WAY IT SHOULD. ALSO THE CAR WHEN PARK ROLLS EVERYTHING TIME ABOUT A FOOT FORWARD OR BACK PENDING ON SLOPE OF STREET. THE ROAD WAS A FOUR LANE ROAD WITH TWO LANES EAST AND TWO LANES WEST AND I WAS GOING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 35 MPH, AS I HAD JUST RECENTLY LEFT FROM A RED LIGHT.

I'M STILL HAVING, (BATTERY SAVER MODE LIGHT COMING ON). AND NOW I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE ("TAKATA RECALL"). I'VE TAKEN MY DODGE CHARGER BACK TO DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE TODAY, 11/16/17, AS THE (ABS) & (TRACTION CONTROL) LIGHTS BOTH WERE ON. AND AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP I TRIED TO SET MY CRUISE CONTROL AT 75 MPH AS I WAS ON I-77 SOUTH, BUT I COULDN'T GET IT TO SET AT ANY SPEED. TODAY 11/17/2017 MY REPAIR BILL IS $350.00 DOLLARS + A CAR PAYMENT AND HOPEFULLY I CAN GET HOME WITH THE ALTERNATOR ISSUES. I'M TIRED OF PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE ANYWHERE I NEED TO GO. THIS DODGE BELONGS TO A FAMILY OF 4 INCLUDING MYSELF, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET SOMETHING DONE ASAP I THINK I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL VEHICLE AND I DON'T REALLY WANT TO TRADE IT JUST BECAUSE OF THE NO PARTS AVAILABLE, AS MY LUCK WOULD BE, THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE THE SAME MONTH AS I TRADED CARS.
'TAKATA RECALL' DRIVING MY VECHICLE ON CITY ROADS IS FINE, THE VECHICLE RUNS PERFECTLY BUT TAKING IT IN THE HIGHWAY IS ANOTHER PROBLEM. PICKING UP HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE DASHBOARD BEGINS TO SHAKE AS WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL. IT HAPPENS WHEN I REACH 80MPH AND IS A CONCERN TO ME. I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM LIKE THAT IN A VECHICLE SO I THOUGHT IT WAS A PROBLEM AND TOLD THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BROUGHT THE VECHICLE FROM. UNFORTUNATELY THE PROBLEM WASN'T RESOLVED SO I'M ASKINGING IS THIS A PROBLEM I SHOULD WORRY ABOUT
2014 DODGE CHARGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ACCELERATOR DEFECT SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED INTO A CURB. THE CONSUMER RECEIVED AN INJURY TO THE HIP AND NECK. UPDATED 9/22/2017*JS UPDATED10/04/2017*JS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE INSIDE THE GARAGE, THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK, BUT IT SURGED FORWARD AND STRUCK THE WALL INSIDE THE GARAGE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTHLAND CHRYSLER IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY AND IT WAS THE DRIVER'S ERROR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V240000 (POWER TRAIN) BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2016.

I ALWAYS BRING MY CAR TO RANCHO CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE ON 8010 BALBOA AVENUE SAN DIEGO, CA 92111 REGARDING THE "BATTER SAVER MODE". I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS AND HAVE GONE IN SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY/ALTERNATOR AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD AND THE "BATTERY SAVER MODE" STILL COMES ON. 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.
