2013 Dodge Charger Electrical System Problems

Vehicle: 2013 Dodge Charger R/T I’m reaching out because my car has been showing signs that seem to match the symptoms of the V62 recall that FCA issued for the fuel pump relay issue. I have a 2013 Dodge Charger R/T with the 5.7L HEMI engine. Lately, the car has been having trouble starting, especially after it’s been driven and sits in the heat. Sometimes it cranks but won’t turn over, and other times it randomly dies or stalls when I’m coming to a stop. It recently sat for a couple of days and then started again like nothing happened. This keeps happening on and off, and I’ve noticed it’s worse when it’s really hot outside or after it’s been driving a lot I took it to the dealership and they said my specific VIN isn’t part of the recall, but I wanted to report this because it really seems like the same issue. From what I’ve read, the V62 recall had to do with a faulty fuel pump relay that’s built into the TIPM and causes exactly these kinds of problems. I understand not all vehicles were included, but since I’m having the same symptoms and my car matches the year, make, and engine that recall applied to, I think it’s something that should be looked into. I’d really appreciate it if this could be reviewed. I just want to make sure my vehicle is safe and functioning properly, especially since the stalling can be risky depending on where and when it happens.

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.

WHILE DRIVING DASH STARTS BLONKING AND SEVERAL ISSUES APPEARED. STEARING, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, SERVICE KEY, ABS, AND OTHERS THAT I CAN'T REMEMBER HOWEVER SHOWING 7 DIFFERENT CODES P0133, U0101 U1110 U1120 I DON'T REMEMBER ALL OF IT. RESET COMPUTER AND DRIVE ABOUT 200 MILES AND SAME NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG.

CENTER STACK SCREEN WHICH CONTROLS THE A/C IS UNRESPONSIVE. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE THE HEATER IS ON FULL BLAST AND THE LANGUAGE IS CHANGED TO GERMAN WITH NO POSSIBLE WAY OF CHANGING IT. IN DROVE IT THE PREVIOUS DAY AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL.

IT WON'T START YOU HAVE TO GET A BOOST JUST PUT A NEW START ALTERNATOR AND A BATTERY THE CAR IS THERE STILL HAVING PROBLEMS ARE CRANKING UP

MESSAGE ON DASH INDICATING THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK, PER PLACING THE SHIFTER INTO PARK POSITION AND IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF WITH THE PUSH BUTTON, UNTIL THE MESSAGE GOES AWAY, WHICH CAN TAKE PUTTING IT BACK INTO GEAR, OR PUSHING THE AUTOMATIC START BUTTON ON THE KEY FAUB OR WAITING FOR FOR THE MESSAGE ON THE DASH TO GO AWAY. LOOKED AT A FORUM THAT INDICATED THAT SOMEONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM HAD THERE VEHICLE GO INTO REVERSE WITHOUT THE PERSON PLACING IT INTO REVERSE. MANY FORUMS WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND WENT INTO ANTI THEFT MODE. I PRESSED MY IGNITION BUTTON TO START IT UP AND IT WOULDN'T START AT ALL. I CALLED BOTH DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND THEY TOLD ME IT MIGHT BE THAT MY KEY LOST PROGRAMMING OR IT WAS MY WIN MODULE.
