2013 Dodge Challenger: check engine light

Filed Apr 3, 2025 · Fuel system · ID

At only 68,000 miles, my check engine light came on with code "P0456", which indicates that my Evaporative Emission System has a leak. These leaks lead to increased emissions and fuel loss. The solution is to replace the Emission System Integrity Monitor (ESIM). The life expectancy of this part is 150,000 miles. It should not leak at less than half its life expectancy. I contacted the local dealership and they reported that there isn't a recall on this part yet.

Window started rolling down about 1/4 inch (draining battery so I bought a new battery) and then other issues started occurring. Check engine light came on(while starting the car) then went off, (I had just put the car in park and turned it off), 5 mins later I turned it back on and window will not roll down at all now. As soon as the went stopped completely other things such as performance and brakes seemed to be hesitant.

I recently purchased my 2013 dodge challenger less than 2 years ago and now the car has been misfiring giving me various error codes while I am driving on the freeway and on the roads. The dealership that I purchased the vehicle from, acura of fremont, has not returned my calls. The vehicle has given me the p0132 and recently p0300 error code. I took it to my local chrysler and dodge dealership in san leandro, ca and they said they can't find an issue wrong with the vehicle even though they saw the p0300 error code and the car shaking immensely. I told the representative that I do not feel safe in the vehicle after I felt the strong shaking and the engine light blinking making dinging sounds and ticking sounds. They kept the vehicle overnight to try again in the morning and they said they found no issue on the vehicle. The next day, the car starts jerking on the freeway slipping in power causing the car to shake. After researching, there is a problem in this specific year and model that I have, a cylinder head misfire that they are not addressing.

As I was driving on the free way, I noticed my check engine light came on. At first I thought it may have been a minute issue. However, my car started jerking, declining speed ,and became hesitate to continue motion as if the power of my car was about to stop. After ten minutes the engine light went off as I continued to drive the car at a reducing speed. However, the light came back on and the symptoms continued again. At this time I'm very concerned that my car needs to be on the recall as this is a serious issue. My light is still on as of 3/6/2017.

Saw light on dash (etc malfunction indicator light) and next memory is being at hospital. During the 60-90 seconds after I saw light witnesses watched my 2013 challenger r/t accelerate up to high 90s and ultimately crash through fence and into house. Edr shows steering at traffic circle but no accelerator pedal input during last five seconds. Engineers say probable cause is malfunction in electronic throttle control and poorly designed brake-throttle override.

Since the vehicle was purchased on february 2013, we noticed that the fuel indicator would never show a full tank of gas. It would stop at 3/4. However, when you turn off the engine, especially around a 1/2 of a tank, the gauge would register 1/4 tank. On 4/29/2013, my spouse noticed the check engine light and we decided to take the car to the dealer. The onboard computer showed 68 miles to empty and we needed to travel 30 miles. As soon as we entered the freeway, the car stalled and would not start. It had to be towed to the dealer. Dealer replaced the sending or (ascending) unit. The vehicle only had 1275 miles on the odometer. On 1 may 2013 we picked up the vehicle and my wife drove it home, I followed in a chase vehicle. That night she complained of headaches(not normal for my spouse). The next morning, 2 may 2013, I open the door of the vehicle to place safety seats and was overcome by the noxious fuel fumes. My wife decided to drive the vehicle to work and could not make it there due to the fumes getting worse. She pulled over and had the vehicle towed to the dealership. Their fix was to use odor neutralizer which now renders the vehicle unserviceable. One cannot stand the smell. My spouse fears they care may combust at the first sign of an open flame and is afraid to drive the vehicle. Dealer will not entertain any ideas of checking o-ring seals.
