2010 DODGE CHALLENGER Service Brakes Problems

My vehicle was stolen in downtown New York

ABS Module Failure. All repair parts discontinued from 2008-2014 for Manual Transmissions. Safety issue will not allow operations of Anti lock brakes

THERE ARE NO PARTS WORLD WIDE TO REPAIR THE ABS BRAKE MODULE .PART # 68067398AB. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE SRT DEPARTMENT @(855)778 8326 CASE # 35139693 AND TRIED FOR 2 MONTHS TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I RECEIVED A CALL TODAY STATING THE PART WAS NO LONGER MADE AND THERE IS NO DEALER WHO CAN SUPPLY THE PART TO MAKE THE REPAIR. THEY WOULD NO LONGER BE WORKING THIS CASE AND COULD /WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HELP WITH THE ISSUE. WE DID KEEP THE RECORDING OF THIS CALL AS IT WAS LEFT ON OUR VOICE MAIL. THIS IS PART OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND ALSO CONTROLS THE ANTI SKID SYSTEM PUTTING THE DRIVER AT RISK OF NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT LOST POWER STEERING AND THE BRAKES BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

UPON STARTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPLIGHT THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN & THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. THEIR WAS A VEHICLE STOPPED AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION (4 WAY STOP). TO AVOID HITTING THEM I WENT TO THE RIGHT OF THE STOP SIGN. THERE WAS JUST ENOUGH ROOM IN BETWEEN THE STOP SIGN & A TELEPHONE POLE. I HAD SHIFTED THE CAR TO NEUTRAL, & FINALLY GOT IT STOPPED IN FRONT OF A HOUSE. I WAS VERY SHAKEN UP BY THIS & CALLED MY HUSBAND. HE SAID HE WOULD BE THERE ASAP. A MAN CAME OUT OF THE HOUSE & ASKED ME WAS I OK. I TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED & LET HIM KNOW MY HUSBAND WAS ON THE WAY. WHEN MY HUSBAND GOT THERE, HE GOT ME CALMED DOWN & SAID HE WAS GOING TO TRY TO DRIVE IT CAUTIOUSLY TO THE DEALER. I FOLLOWED HIM IN...

PURCHASED NEW IN 11/2010. 2 YEARS INTO OWNERSHIP, ON ABOUT 4 OCCURANCES, ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF, LOOSE STEERING CONTROL AND BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME WHILE MAKING A SLOW RIGHT HAND TURN. PROBLEM DISAPPEARED AND THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE OF SOME KIND. NOW 3 YEARS LATER IT HAS STARTED DOING IT AGAIN EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. WHEN THE ENGINE DIES YOU CAN BARELY STEER AND HAVE TO REALLY PULL HARD ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP FROM GOING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BRAKES DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY EITHER, YOU LOOSE ALL POWER BRAKING AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR THIS ISSUE EXTENSIVELY. WHAT I HAVE FOUND IS ABOUT A HUNDRED OTHER DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS ON SEVERAL FORUM SITES DESCRIBING EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. NOBODY HAD AN ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM AND FOUND JUST AS MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THAT PEOPLE SAID WERE WRONG RANGING...

DODGE/CHRYSLER SAYS THIS IS "NOT SERIOUS" BECAUSE THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES SAVED IN THE CAR AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THEY SAY IF IT WAS SERIOUS, THERE WOULD BE A CODE.

WHILE COMING AROUND A SHARP LEFT BEND IN THE ROAD OF A WINDING ROAD MY CAR STALLED AND I HAD A VERY HARD TIME STEERING AND BRAKING TO GET THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T END UP IN THE DITCH AND ALSO VERY LUCKY THAT THE DRIVER BEHIND ME WAS ALERT AND DID NOT CRASH INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR. I RESTARTED MY CAR AND IT SEEMED TO BE OK. I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR SOMETIME AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT. DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER POSTINGS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS ABOUT IT. *TR

MY 2010 CHALLENGER SRT8 WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION STALLED WHEN MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 5:00 PM ON 9/5/12. ENGINE WAS AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND THE AC WAS RUNNING. I WAS TRAVELLING AT ABOUT 35 MPH AND BEGAN BRAKING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO A SERVICE STATION. AS I STARTED INTO THE TURN AT ABOUT 10 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED RESULTING IN LOSS OF BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN AND STOP THE CAR WITH HARD BRAKE PRESSURE. NO INDICATOR WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENTS. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE CAR, BUT THE TRANSMISSION WAS INOPERATIVE. NEITHER DRIVE OR REVERSE WOULD ENGAGE. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY WARNING OR ALERT LIGHTS INDICATING A MALFUNCTION OR TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN AND THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AND WORKED NORMALLY. THERE WERE 6800 MILES ON CAR ON...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH THE CHECK ENGINE AND OIL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE CONTACT STATED THE ENGINE STARTED FUNCTIONING ABNORMALLY AND THERE WAS A STRONG OIL ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THERE WAS NO OIL LOSS. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED THEY WERE UNABLE TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY IN THE DEALERS POSSESSION. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WAS 30,900.

WHILE MAKING A SLOW RIGHT TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH MY VEHICLE STALLED. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. THE STEERING AND BRAKES ALSO DID NOT FUNCTION. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR TO REGAIN CONTROL. IT STARTED BACK UP RIGHT AWAY AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. ALTHOUGH I DO NOT REMEMBER THE EXACT DATES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 4 PREVIOUS TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO ANSWERS AND THEY ASSUME NOTHING IS WRONG BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER. IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN BEHIND ME OR IN FRONT OF ME THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. EVENTUALLY, THERE LIKELY WILL BE. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED ON THIS PROBLEM AND A SOLUTION MUST BE FOUND ASAP. ACCORDING TO NUMEROUS REPORTS, THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY WITH 2010 DODGE CHALLENGERS. *TR

THIS VIBRATION BEGAN APPROX. 3 MONTHS AGO. IT IS TRANSMITTED FROM THE FRONT BRAKES TO THE STEERING WHEEL PRIMARILY BETWEEN 45-35 MPH. IT IS LESS EVIDENT AT SPEEDS BELOW THAT, BUT STILL OCCURS. CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER EXPECTING THIS TO BE A WARRANTED REPAIR (11600 MILES) AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A WEARABLE ITEM I.E: WIPER BLADES, TIRES, ETC. I WAS SURPRISED TO SAY THE LEAST. THIS TYPE OF ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON VARIOUS WEBSITES AND REGULATORY ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM REGARDING ONE'S ABILITY TO STOP A TWO TON VEHICLE SAFELY. *TT
