2013 Dodge Charger driver assistance problems

Filed Aug 7, 2026 · Brakes, Driver assistance · TN

A few weeks ago I was traveling on unfamiliar curvy roads. It had recently rained. I fishtailed going through the curve, and my breaks locked up. Not long after I had the famous “Christmas Tree Lights” on my dash which are the ABS, Break, and FCW. Went to Advance Auto Parts to check code, and it was C2200-49. Took to dealership and paid $200+ to learn the same. They quoted $1955 alone for the ABS Control Module because the part was discontinued by Mopar in 2025. Took to an independent shop for a recheck, and they confirmed they could not fix it because they couldn’t guarantee an added part would work since they were discontinued. I haven’t driven the vehicle for a month, and I’m wary of buying a remanufactured part on eBay. I researched and found the code is a processor failure pandemic on 2011-2014 models, and there was a massive national level backorder even before the part was discontinued. Mopar & Dodge need to make this right with a safety recall. My research shows it is unsafe to drive! Please help!! A recall was issued for Dodge Ram Trucks! 2013 Dodge Charger SXT with adaptive cruise control should be added. Thank you for your time!

The "Vehicle Not in Park" warning message is a safety feature designed to prevent accidents and injuries. It's a standard safety feature in most modern vehicles, including the Dodge Charger. Here's what it's intended to do: When the vehicle is shifted out of Park (P) and the transmission is not fully engaged, the system will display a "Vehicle Not in Park" warning message on the dashboard. This message is triggered by the vehicle's Transmission Control Module (TCM) or Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system, which monitors the vehicle's gear position and transmission status. The purpose of this warning is to alert the driver that the vehicle is not properly secured and may roll or move unexpectedly, potentially causing an accident or injury. This can happen when: The parking brake is not engaged: If the parking brake is not fully engaged or is released before shifting into gear, the system will detect this and display the warning message. The transmission is not fully engaged: If the transmission is not fully engaged in gear, such as when shifting from Park to Reverse or Drive, the system will detect this and display the warning message. The vehicle is not properly positioned: If the vehicle is not properly positioned on a level surface or on a slope, the system may detect this and display the warning message. To resolve the "Vehicle Not in Park" issue on your Dodge Charger: Ensure the parking brake is fully engaged. Check that the transmission is fully engaged in gear (e.g., Park, Reverse, Drive). Make sure the vehicle is properly positioned on a level surface or adjust it to a flat surface. The car is in park but will not turn off instead it runs until it decides it wants to turn off which can take several hours. This is a safety concern and issue that needs to resolved we pay to much money on these vehicles to deal with crappy problems due to bad mechanical issues and features

While driving my battery light come on. That is due to alternator malfunction. The first time it happen all my electrical devices where going on and off. And my steering wheel locked and unlocked due to being a electronic steering. What I did I tried to pull over and stop at a safe place and waiting and the vehicle when back to normal mode except the battery light stayed on and the message in my cluster that said "battery safe mode". So I went back home and checked the voltage on my battery that read 11.8 to 12.3. So I took it to the dealer for the recall of the alternator. The dealer replaced it and said it's ok now. I took it home and on the way home it happen again and I took it back to the dealer and got it checked. And they said they found corrosion the signal plug of the alternator. They cleaned it and said it ok now. A week passed by and it happen again all electrical started to turn on and off including the steering locking up and the battery light came on. And I took it back again to the dealer. And now they said they have to charge me to diagnose the issue if it's not the alternator. Charging system is not part of the alternator and they charge for that issue. Isn't the charging system part of the alternator like the voltage regulator that is in the PCM? If that is a bad component and making the alternator malfunction it's a problem for not making any current. All this happen in motion on street and on highway. All this started on june 3 2020 till now june 25 2020.
