Dodge Challenger wipers problems

Filed Jun 9, 2026 · Transmission · IA

Driving along and all of a sudden the shifter lights started flashing, wipers turned on, steering became difficult, and finally the transmission locked up. Stalled in the middle of the hiway turn lane and because the transmission was locked up it couldn't even be pushed out of the way. Traffic was backed up and people trying to get around because I was blocking a major hiway intersection. The dodge dealership has had the car 3 times and finally diagnosed it as the rack and pinion plug.

Rear backup camera will sometimes either be distorted or have a black screen while in reverse. This is a safety hazard as dodge challengers have large blind spots and makes it difficult to see when backing up without the rear camera. This has almost caused me to hit another car and pedestrians as it's hard to see them due to the blind spots and not having the assistance of the camera. While driving in the rain, the front windshield will have streaks across the whole window, making it very difficult to see while driving in the rain. Windshield wipers have been replaced several times but issue continues to happen. The breaks will shake when breaking. This causes the car to not want to break at times. I have brought my car back to the dealership on several different occasions for this issue and all they have done is resurfaced the rotors and have changed the break pads and told me that there is nothing else they can do and to break more aggressively as there is a film on the rotors causing the car to shake when breaking.

One day out of the blue the windshield wiper would just start shooting water out from the fluid compartment while driving. Now it only activates when the car is starting.

The window sensors go out and all of the controls at the steering wheel. Windows stop rolling up on their own so close the door and leaves 1/4inch gap. Sometimes stays all the way up so window hits door jam. Does this on driver and passenger side. Also, windshield wipers control won't work, turn signals won't work. Checked all fuses and tried hard reset snd that didn't work. Sometimes they will start working again and then just stop again. Traction control light is always on.

My 2012 challenger rt v8 alternator went out at about 51,000 miles. It cost $600 to replace, but 7 weeks later I am getting a low voltage alert again. I had it tested and the alternator failed. I'm afraid this car is going to die in the middle of an intersection. The v6 was recalled for alternator problems. I have seen where several owners of v8's have complained of the same thing I have (lights dimming, windshield wipers causing radio lights to dim, whining sound under hood, random low voltage alerts on radar detectors, then suddenly the car stops running, everything shuts down); no recall has been published for the v8 but I feel we are experiencing the same problems.

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.
