What owners wrote
2013 dodge charger. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle electrical system problems and alternator recall issues. *smd the consumer stated he experienced problems with the radio, lights and dashboard information. He turned the vehicle off and back on again, and everything went back to normal. However, one day while driving, the lights, windshield wipers and horn started to malfunction, the vehicle started to lose power, so he pulled over to the side of the road.
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.
