2014 Dodge Challenger: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Jun 19, 2024 · Brakes, Electrical · FL

The ABS system has failed on my 2014 Dodge Challenger SXT and has caused major electrical issues within the vehicle. The ABS part/computer module (part number 68210118AB) has been on back order for months with no estimate of when the part will be available from a Dodge/Chrysler/Ram/Jeep dealership. I have been without my vehicle for 4 months because nobody has this part available. This is a major issue affecting many vehicles under Dodge/Chrysler/Ram/Jeep. My safety was at risk because while I was driving the vehicle, every single light on my dashboard appeared and my brakes stopped working. Thankfully I was leaving my neighborhood and was only going 15MPH. The key fob is not detectable, the windows will not roll up, and the vehicle cannot hold a charge while in drive. There was an ABS warning lamp on prior to this all happening.

Fluctuating Speedometer dropping from driving speed to zero once the engine warms up. Especially bad at highway speed. When speedometer drops suddenly the brake light, ABS light and driver seat belt warning light flash on then off. Also hear a clicking noise from the gear shift when the speedometer fluctuates. Issue has been continual since beginning in January.

The following occurred during normal driving conditions over a period of two weeks with warning lights on: vehicle displayed ABS and traction control warning lights simultaneously. Then suddenly the car, an automatic transmission, would not shift out of first gear. Local dealership service dept stated the computer sensed brake malfunction and caused a "limp mode" causing the transmission not to shift. This is so the car would not reach normal speeds because the brakes were malfunctioning. Dealer shop reports speed sensors on brakes failed due to excessive heat. This is odd because invoice reports the rear sensors failed when normally the majority of braking, producing heat, is from the front brakes. Resulting repairs included replacing both front rotors and left front caliper and both rear speed sensors, and flushing fluid all due to excessive heat. This is a contradiction that they report the rear speed sensors failed. Perhaps a clerical error. All is documented on ed volyes chrysler dodge dealership service invoice # 883127, in marietta, ga. Searching the internet shows numerous brake failure stories due to speed sensors in this make and model car. Some are easily "near death experiences". I can only hope they filed the federal safety agency reports as well. Final systems failure occurred on may 27th. We've had lengthy experience with much older antilock cars of other makes with no hint of failure like this ! I fail to see why a critical failure such as this would be acceptable on any safety standards.

Abs and traction control light came on after starting the car. A few days later, the lights are still on but is making a loud clicking sound when making tight right turns. Day after the clicking, the check engine light came on while driving 45 MPH. The car was still on but with no acceleration. Pressing on the gas peddle would rev the engine with no progress. I stopped the car, turned it off and checked my fluids under the hood. All looked fine. After restarting the car, it would run then lose acceleration again. Car then became unresponsive and towed to the dealer. The dealer has had the car for 2 days and still don't know what is wrong. Service adviser said the car is not "communicating." I am currently paying for a rental out of pocket. Fca said there are no recalls based on my VIN. Based on my research, it sounds like the p60/alternator recall.

I have a 2014 dodge challenger. I was driving and made a left hand turn and then my ABS came on and now I cant use my cruse control and I cant turn the traction control off or on . Call dodge and they are telling me it is a clock spring in the steering column and the price is $589.00 and the labor will be about $300.00. I think that's is a bad part to put in a car.

Chrysler corp. Sent me a "recall notice" mid december 2014 for number p60 alternator. The launch date was december 1, 2014. The alternator diodes in my vehicle could experience a rapid failure. Vehicle electrical system voltage may drop to critical levels, disabling ABS, ESC, ECM ( computer) and cbc. The driver will have almost no warning, resulting in vehicle shutdown while driving and maybe under-hood electrical fire. I have experienced this alternator failure...breakdown.. Being stranded on a 1989 oldsmobile I owned years ago. I have called the recall assistance center three or four times, the recorded menu or live persons know nothing only to say they are sorry for the issue and long wait. I have called my hometown dodge dealer, where I purchased the car and they have expressed being sorry for long wait ( almost 4 months). I have been renting cars for past three months when taking trips longer than 60 miles one way. I have real fear of being broke down with associated wrecker, motel and repair costs. In summary, this whole thing has taken too long so I am filing my compliant today.
