DRIVING TO WORK WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE MESSAGE OF "BATTERY SAVER MODE" APPEARED ON MY MESSAGE SCREEN. AFTER THAT HAPPENED, I NOTICED A WHISTLING NOISE FOLLOWED BY THE RADIO GOING OUT AND AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED BLOWING. THEN ALL OF THE SENSORS STARTED GOING OFF IN THE DASHBOARD; TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, CHECK ENGINE, AND SEATBELT. I TRIED TO GIVE MY DODGE CHARGER 2012 SXT SOME GAS SO THAT I CAN GET OFF THE ROAD, BUT THAT CUASED THE RPM'S TO REV UP TO OVER 7 AND OTHER GAUGES DID THE SAME THING AT THE SAME TIME. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A GAS STATION SINCE THAT IS WHERE MY CHARGER COMPLETELY STOPPED!! NOTHING WOULD TURN ON AND CAR WASN'T MOVING!! AFTER CALLING FOR A TOW TRUCK, I LOOKED UP THESE ERRORS FOR 2012 DODGE CHARGERS AND THERE A LOT OF THEM!! THE ESTIMATE TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR...

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, IN MY 2012 DODGE CHARGER RT. THE DASH LIGHTS ALL STARTED TO FLASH AND A MESSAGE CODE "BATTERY SAVE MODE" WAS GIVEN. JUST A FEW MINUTES LATER THE CAR STALLED OUT AND THE FRONT WHEELS VIBRATED FEELING LIKE THE WHEELS LOCKED UP. THE CAR VEERED OFF THE THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR WHICH IT STARTED. ALL THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. I PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE AND SLOWLY PULLED BACK ONTO THE ROAD. THE CAR DROVE NORMAL THE NEXT 1/2 MILE TO MY HOUSE, EXCEPT FOR THE WARNING LIGHTS AND BATTERY SAVE MODE MESSAGE. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY FOUND THE ALTERNATOR AT FAULT.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 DODGE CHARGER SXT (BLACKTOP EDITION) APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR'S ELECTRONIC SYSTEM STARTING GOING HAYWIRE.

I HEADED FOR THE NEAREST EXIT AND JUST I WAS EXITING THE CAR'S STEERING ABILITY LOCKED UP AND COAXED IT TO THE MIDDLE MERIDIAN OF THE ROAD WHEN IT THEN SUDDENLY LOST POWER, NARROWLY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT IN A BUSY NY INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN ON AND I CALLED AAA. THEY TRIED TO GIVE THE CAR A BOOST BUT IT ONLY POWERED THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM AND IT WOULD NOT START. ONCE THEY TOOK OFF THE CABLES IT HAD NO POWER. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AND IS AWAITING REPAIRS.THE CAR HAS NEVER HAD ANY PREVIOUS ISSUES AND I...

NO POWER TO RADIO OR AIR CONDITIONER. POSSIBLY OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS DID NOT WORK. THIS HAPPENED SUDDENLY. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. THEY WERE ABLE TO 'RESET' IT, BUT TOLD ME IF IT FAILS AGAIN, IT WOULD COST $1400. I GOT OFF CHEAP WITH THIS REPAIR ONLY COSTING $98. THIS IS FOR A PART YOUR 6 YEAR OLD COULD HOLD IN HIS HAND. FORTUNATELY POWER STEERING DID NOT FAIL, WHICH IS POSSIBLE. THIS EVIDENTLY IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH DODGE PRODUCTS. NO REASON THIS SHOULD FAIL WITH JUST 2000 MILES ON CAR.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BEGINNING WHEN THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES AROUND FEB/MAR 2014, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THIS HAPPENS AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED OVERNIGHT AND THE AMBIENT OUTSIDE AIR TEMP COOLS TO 40 DEGREES FARENHEIT OR COLDER.

CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DODGE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO CONFIRMED CAUSE AND NO EFFECTIVE REPAIR. CAR WOULD NOT START THIS MORNING (5-13-2015) , AMBIENT AIR TEMP APPROXIMATELY 55 DEGREES FARENHEIT.
