2012 charger electronics went haywire, car shut off and now the whole car is dead. Plz help it's Christmas

The only advice that I can Give is sort of a "Hail Mary" football pass. ~~Disconnect the Positive terminal + leave it off for about 30 seconds then reconnect. God Bless

Ohh and yes when disconnecting any battery always disconnect the ground first ...this will save your electronics in your vehicle from voltage spikes caused by removing or installing the positive side ...also with the ground still hooked up your battery is still live meaning anything that touches it metal will produce voltage

True ...My electronics background peeked through, I always did + first due to digital electronic ( Cmos/Discreet) using Neg logic. Hitting a live wire with a wrench was very uncommon

Hey thank you guys so much I appreciate yall

almost sure it s the alternator issue. Chrysler tells me they have no relacement parts,and have no timeline as to when they will... NICE!!

I'm just having the same problem with mine. just left the car at dealership last night so going early in the morning to see whats wrong. The whole car started to shut down but first it acted weird where heater came on on its own, radio will shut off while driving, etc... and then while I was driving off the parking lot, the whole car shut down completely. Kind of scary, could this happen while driving in highway??? I will have more details in a bit when i get back from dealership.

Just for the record, this happened to my wife today and it appears to be the recall that was supposed to have been fixed two weeks ago and wasn't because the dealer was too lazy to do so. Instead they fixed 1 recall and replaced the rear breaks that were less than a year old. What ticks me off is the perfectly good rotors they took off were drilled and slotted and they replaced with factory. At best it needed pads! This time we took it to a different dealer so I hope they don't try and pull some similar stuff. We'll see!

Sorry but I forget to mention that if this does happen the expense is on Chrysler including the tow to the dealer which would have passed $1500! At least there's that.

There was a few pieces that were for recall and replaced them for free. They put a new belt and charged me 46$. Now it runs smooth again.

I have just experienced the same problem with my 2912 dodge charger. However, the p60 recall is not associated with my VIN. Several owners of this model have gone through the same issues. I have owned a dodge since 2006 and the newer models present soooo much more problems. Currently, I am unhappy with the way dodge is addressing this issue and even more upset with the level of danger that this type of an issue put me and my family in. At this point, I will no longer continue my use in any further dodge business.

I have a 2013 dodge charger , while driving all my warning lights came on windshields wipers, heat full blast. Then it just died ,no brakes or sterring nothing!! Bad burnt plastic smell . luckily I didn't crash and was driving with window already down so I could get out . However my VIN number is not included in the P60 recall ? You need to file a complaint with the NHTSA , looks like Chrysler needs to expand their recall

I have a 2009 Charger. Took it to the dealer to have the airbag recall done, broke down on the way home. Symptoms : heat came on, electronic light show, and a readout saying ACCIDENT CALL 1-800-XXXX. Called the dealer and was given the "Nothing we did" answer. I'm not buying it. They did something. Anyone else had this problem after an airbag replacement?

I see a linkage to the airbag with the "ACCIDENT CALL 1-800-XXXX." message.

My mom's 2012 6 cylinder charger completely shut at 70mph with no breaks or power steering and dodge says there are no recalls on her car and there is nothing wrong with it. My sister went to move it in our driveway not knowing and almost died at 17 years old because the breaks didn't work and the car rolled into the street while a semi was coming.

We were suppose to buy a 2018 Dodge Hellcat but dodge can go frick them selves if them selves if they aren't gonna take responsibility for almost killing my mother and sister and not fix my mom's car that she worked her ass off for. First new car she has had in like 20 years. Sorry dode but Chevy has never fucked us like that, my silverado has over 250k miles when I sold it and my dad bought it new in 2003. He never had a god dam issue in that truck, so I guess It's time to switch back to chevy

Looks like I'm seeing a paternity here. I got absolutely no help from the Dodge Dealer (Ed Voyles, Marietta GA.). I spoke with the Service Mgr, and the General Mgr, who both refused to take responsibility. (I brought it in for an airbag recall ). Luckily I had a maintenance agreement with the used car dealer I bought it from, so after 2 weeks without my car, and 100.00 deductible, I got it back, fixed. Cost them 1500.00 . The Dodge Dealer called me afterwards and said I owed them 150.00 for an 8 mile tow. Guess what I told them? You got it!

*PATTERN* (stupid auto correct!)

My ol lady has a 2012 Durango. And it did the same thing shut off while I was driving it at around 40 mph. We sent it to the dealership they called they're still fixing it by replacing the alternator. Then called us and told us that it still would not start so there was a dead cell in the battery. We went and spent $203 on a battery that Morning and the car is doing the same thing just shutting off losing all power and dash light service signals going crazy

I can only say that I'm disappointed Dodge Chrysler Fiat. I feel like calling fiance and Italy because my dad was a mechanic for them when we live there in time to more piece of s*** that Dodgers are. Mine shut off during summerthank God I know how to drive . I steering didn't work my brakes don't work nothing I was on a windy road to I don't know how I survived without any steering I guess somebody was looking over me

Calling Fiat I don't have a fiance and Dodgers I don't have Dodgers. I just saw that stupid autocorrect my phone belongs with the Dodge in the river

This happened to me two days ago after the recall alternator was installed. I was able to get it to a dealer who had never seen a problem like this before. Three hours, so far. Planning on putting them on full stop and replacing the alternator and battery with aftermarket parts.

This just happened to my 2014 Charger. Full heat light show then completely dead. Nothing. Got it towed to the dealer. We’ll see what they say. And I had the recall alternator replaced last year.

Well guess what you guys are not alone! Took our 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee in for the alternator recall replacement from dealership and one mile down the road after replacement the heater would not work ‘ check engine lite plus the lighting bolt lite came on , Jeep started running ruff and lost power then died with only 10 miles after the new replacement alternator install! Dropped off keys af dealership told them where it was parked now wait and see what they say’

Hello all. How was this problem fixed? My journey did the same thing on the freeway. In the process it also.shorted my starter and my battery. I had to replace the starter, battery and alternator and no.help from.dodge as not part of.the so called recall. Did.this.fixed the problem.for.you?.and for.those.that it continued happening how were u able.to resolve? Please help

I bough my 2013 durango about 3 months ago. When i bought it they told me there were 2 recalls on it, so i took it the next day to have them fixed. They could only fix one not the alternator because they were only allowed to replace 3 a week so aftermultiple attempts to get it fixed over a period of 3month la they still never had the part. So yesterday my pregnant wife is driving with my infant son on I95 and the car just shuts off. I work a half an hr away so i haul ass to get to them since it was 90 degrees out and i didnt want them getting a heat illness. So i get there take them home call the dealership and amazingly they have an alternator tell me to bring it in so since the diode failed in the alternator which fried my battery i bought another battery put it in on the side of the interstate and drove it 4 miles to the dealership they said it would be done by noon ok good deal least it get fixed right? Wrong. They called me back later and said the alternator wasnt charging and that the powertrain control module needed to be replaced at a cost of $1077. When i explained to them that the pcm failed. Because the diode in the alternator failed. For people that dont know a diode prevents current from going back to the source of power it came from. In this case that would be the pcm. So the recalled part that failed fried mt battery and pcm and i had to pay to fet both of them fixed. Im going to file a claim with chrysler because that is juat ridiculous. And the service manager. And lead tech agreed that the alternator caused the pcm to fail. Why shoukd i have to pay for a partthat was ruined by the recalled part due to thwm not being able to replace the alternator because of availibiltt of the part. Total bullshit. I likely wont see a dime from chrysler but im still going to file a claim. If i dont get my money back it will be the last product i buy from them.

I have a 2012 dodge challenger rt my car wont start the radio and ac not working neither its completely dead the only accessory working its the interior and exterior lights it wont show miles on speedometer can someone help

have a 2012 Dodge charger. The car shut off when I was doing 75 miles an hour on a windy road. Thank God it shut off on the straight path it when turned back on and then all sudden it turned on by itself. My daughter wasa pretty new driver and seventeen at the time was supposed to take the car out with her friends that day on the Long Island expressway very last minute somebody else offered to drive thank God because where else they would have been killed. This was after the p60 recall was done. There was 20 codes on on my car nobody could figure out what's wrong with it including Dodge.earlier they had told me my steering rack wasn't good so I saved the money to replace after over $2,000 and it still has problems.did I mention that was a 2012 charger you have no steering or brakes when your power goes out? So now I still have the cards worth crap because of all the problems they have they decreased in value a lot and I'm afraid to drive it. I spent all the money I had on it because I said let me buy a new a car this way I don't have problems because my kids were young. My kids pull their money together also
