On 7-14-15, I started my vehicle. As it started, I heard a "ding" noise. I observed on my display two warning lights on. That being the ABS, and electronic stability control (ESC) lights came on. After doing some research, I discovered this may be the result of a speed sensor going out. (this also disrupts use of cruise control.) I contacted my local dodge dealer, advising them I needed a "front left speed sensor". The service manager said that part is on national backorder. After going back to my main mechanic, he said he talked with his parts dealer about getting the part also for my car. His parts dealer also told him that they were on backorder. (close to 600 on backorder.) this is also when I learned that a speed sensor is not universal. Therefore, a speed sensor for the right rear wheel, won't fit on the front left speed sensor spot. This tells me there is a large problem with these sensors going out, across the country. Being the front left speed sensor for the 2012 dodge charger (or other similar vehicles that utilize the same part)

I was driving my 2012 dodge charger on the interstate with the cruise control set. All of a sudden the vehicle accelerated on it's on, canceling the cruise control setting. I could not turn the cruise control setting off, I could resume my previous speed setting, nor could I set the cruise to a new speed. I had to stop, turn the vehicle off and then back on for the cruise control setting to reset. I feel this is a safety hazard and that dodge should issue a recall to fix the problem.
