“We own a 2007 Dodge Charger sxt and while driving down the road our brights will occasionally turn themselves on. When we use our turn signal and have the wipers on it will increase the speed of our wipers, then slow them back down after a few swipes.”

“It was a hot day over 90f. I started the car. The speedometer cluster did not work. All the lights including engine light, esp, break, traction control was on. I turned the car off and restarted with the same issue. I let the engine warm up and then restarted the car with the same issue. I started to drive home, the instrument cluster did not work, speedometer showed 0mph. I took it to a local mechanic, he told me to re-flash the computer and change the speedometer cluster.”

“My 2007 Charger is having the same problem that so many others have had... While driving, all the warning lights come on at once, fan (heat, A/C) goes dead, all gauges drop to zero and automatic headlights turn off... After a couple seconds, everything goes back to normal except for the headlights, those have to be manually turned on... This was happening once in a while before, but now is happening multiple times a day. Dealership has no answers and I called the 1 800 number for Dodge with no luck. Has anyone had this diagnosed properly and fixed?”
