2012 Dodge Charger brakes problems

Filed Jan 27, 2026 · Brakes, Driver assistance · NY

Brake Light, ABS Light, and Traction Control Light lit up on dash. Took car to dealership and the issue was diagnosed as a faulty ABS module. This is MOPAR part 68160269AB, which is discontinued. I was also told that there were no after-market options, and that programming a used one might not work. So I have no option to get ABS functionality for my car. I am willing to pay for the part and labor to get this repaired, and Dodge is not even giving me the option.

I have called the dealerships in Fresno Ca and Clovis Ca asked them to check out my car because of all the recalls that were done by them I'm having problems with it or had to replace it again. I also told them since it was a recall and they supposedly repaired it I wanted them to check into it to see if the wrong was done because anyone could falsify a document I was turned away from both dealerships. I have receipts for parts I have replaced that were recalled, as diagnostics tests. This has been going on since 2022 one after another and then affects other parts I even asked them to do a software update for the electronic monostable gear they said no.

Brakes are failing car will not slow down fully when breaks are applied. This is a safety risk due to needing to stop a large vehicle to avoid hitting other people's cars or persons. This car has had the master cylinder replaced on 4/19 as well as brake fluid replaced. The issue still stands which leads me to belive it is a manufacturer issue. No warnings or symptoms prior to failure. Issue began about 4/10/22.

Engine makes a weird noise when you turn it on and have it running sorta sounds like a truck. Brakes don't work sometimes you gotta step on the break petal all the way in if not you could possibly crash or hit another car parked near by. The control arms get stock a bit when doing a turn on 25mph-30mph
