Tl* the contact owns a 2012 dodge charger. The contact stated that driver's side headlight was replaced three times and there was a recall (NHTSA campaign id number: 12v042000-electrical system), but the dealer informed her that the VIN was not included. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the mechanic stated that the wire connector was burned and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000. The current mileage was 47,500. ..updated 12-05-13
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.
