“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10586276, filed 2014-05, 120,000 miles“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?”
NHTSA complaint #10493302, filed 2013-01, 70,000 miles“I purchased my 2007 Dodge Charger se on feb 17 2009. I had multiple problems when I bought the vehicle including the airbag light being on which they fixed by recalibrating the unit. The left washer fluid module had to be replaced and the passenger headlight had condensation that was poorly repaired by placing silcone around my headlight. The shop also said that they had to recalibrate the transmission because it was slipping and was causing my speedometer to drop to 0 but the RPM would never move and the car would not lose power. …”
