On April of 2018, my car check engine light came on. I noticed my car barely taking off as I incline a hill or make a sudden stop. After observing how my car was driving suddenly slow, I then took it to landmark Dodge in morrow, ga.for a diagnostic. The code given was P06dd(dealers code). I had to gather up $2500 to get (valve body work) done. The check engine light stayed off until October 2019 where I took my car to auto zone for a free diagnostic, but to my surprise it gave the same code. I work back and forth out of town so therefore I didn't make it back in time to get it reinspected again for that code. Recently on April 1st.my car stalled and all lights on the dashboard came on including windshield wipers. I do noticed further ahead a week later that when ever I run over a pot hole or bump in the road it does it more often. As of now, the check engine light is still on and my car electrical system still is failing. I've owned my car for 7 1/2 years now and do plan on keeping it around for at least 10 more years. The car runs great and is good on gas. Thanks
My alternator or starter went out my car stopped on me in the middle of the freeway. It would not turn over when I try to start. I had to get a tow truck to take the vehicle to my home. Also the front headlight harness burnt out and I had to put another obe which does not work sometimes
Electrical system shorted twice while driving. Auto park disabled message came on, touch screen went all white then cut off, speedometer and gas gauge fluttering. Happened twice while driving on freeway during 4 mile stretch.
After starting the vehicle, the wipers went on without me turning them on. They constantly stay on while the vehicle is on unless I pull the relay out. The turn signal/wiper control switch does not have any control over them being on/off, the speed, and the windshield washer fluid.

A module went bad in my 2012 Dodge Charger. The wiper blades were stuck on high, full speed, even with the control set in the off position. The night time lights would stay on, even with the dial set to auto, in the middle of the day. I was told by my dealership, that the part was on "national back order and that there was no eta on when the part would be in." My dealership has left me stranded, with no loaner vehicle and no solutions.
