2012 Dodge CHARGER Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1324620
Internal NHTSA #	10914505
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	DODGE
Model	CHARGER
Model Year	2012
File date	20/09/16
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The radio turned off, every light on the instrument cluster lit up, wipers turned on automatically, lost both power break and power steering. All this at over 50 mph with our young son in the back seat.... Eventually my wife was able to get the vehicle stopped, but even after many attempts was unable to put the car in park. Eventually the car just completely died. She was stuck in the middle of a turning lane and wasn't even able to turn on the emergency flashers. The car ended up being towed to the nearest chrysler dealership and diagnosed with a faulty alternator to the tune of almost $900. Financial burden aside, this was a very frightening experience for my wife and son, and although the car has been repaired neither my wife nor i feel entirely comfortable driving the car by ourselves much less having our young son in the back seat.
