On my way to work, my ABS and ESC light lights flashed on the dash. Esc was in red and ABS was in yellow. I pulled the car over, cut it off, and googled what it may be and all kinds of stuff came up in reference to what it could be. Once I started the engine again, it was gone. Let it be known, I travel on the interstate to go to work, so this was a very scary experience for me. I put my car in drive took off once I got up to 78, I put my cruise on and then about 10 mins later the lights came back on again. This time, it shut my cruise off and it's like someone pulled my steering wheel from me. I immediately pulled over again and cut the car off. I would really hate to be driving 75-79 MPH and my steering goes out. Phoned dodge and was told to bring it for the diagnostic test and they could tell me what it was. I went ahead on and continued to work and it did not do it again, even coming home. I just did not use the cruise. Time has passed and it did not come back on but now (twice) when I use my brakes, it feels like they are slipping. Not to mention as of 30 mins ago my lights have come back on. I was told it may be a sensor but it's hard to tell when the lights are not on. This car is my life.. My means to take care of myself and my family. I cannot financially give hundreds every time a light come on and then it goes off and nothing can be done. I was told my breaks and rotors were fine, yet I am still going to replace them. I just need this to be investigated further.. I am a true mopar fan and I love my dodge, but if I or my family is in danger driving/riding in this car, myself and someone else need to know about it and see if something can be done. Please advise..thank you!

ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
The vehicle has started displaying messages to have the power steering, electronic stability control and the ABS brake system serviced. It has began to not start as well. It will randomly flash these messages on the dash in motion and stationary positions. When it does, the power steering actually goes out of the vehicle swerves. The car was just at a dealership to get the oil done a week ago and they did an entire inspection on it and said it was fine....it has done this before 2 years ago and then stopped on it's own. So the oil change was before the issues started again. Had it checked out again and still nothing throwing any codes out. This is a very big safety issue and we would love some answers as to why this is happening!

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 dodge charger. The contact stated that the instrument panel was faulty and the gauges were inoperable. The contact also stated that she lost control of the vehicle and felt that the speed could not be controlled. The vehicle felt as if it would run off of the road. In addition, the check engine, traction control, and ABS indicators illuminated. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 34,016.
First was A/C electrical issues 3 times and even had dashboard pulled apart along with radio main control screen going in and as of 4/4/2018 im now having ABS traction control with steering problems when starting turning driving..all issues since buying my car brand new in 2016 (lemon laws? Please help) only 44k miles now and dealership says its no longer covered.
My 2015 charger is having power steering issues. Problem started a few months ago, when the car would jerk to either side and the ABS light would come on. Took it to a dodge dealership and was told it needed a new power steering rack. Car was a year old when purchased, and a year later, is having this major issue. Not sure if this is a defect, or if someone tried to modify car in some way, or if the problem occurred before it was purchased by me and that info was not disclosed to me. The car was used as a personal vehicle by the manager of the dealership, where I purchased the car from, and was only told that information after I purchased it. I just want to make this issue known, in case others are having the same issue.again, in my opinion, this car is too new to have this kind of issue, so soon. Only 2 years old.
Wheel speed sensor failure: disables traction control, ABS, and speed control. I just had a second speed sensor fail in 25,000 miles. As there are four of them it is probably just a matter of time all will fail.... A co worker of mine also has a 2015 charger se and she has had a wheel speed sensor fail as well.. In my case both instances occurred within five minutes of starting the car cold and driving..
At about 12k to 14k the wheel motion sensor failed on my car causing the traction control, ABS and cruise control to be disabled.... It was fixed under warrantee.. A co-worker who purchased a 15 charger right after I purchased mine has notified me today she had a wheel sensor fail at 14,000. This seems to be chronic.. Is this being looked into...?
