Problem 1) I have 2018 Charger. Couple of thing have happen where the rear passenger tail light come on and goes off randomly. I have change the fuses in the fuse box. Have purchase a additional tail light and doesn't not function properly. It?S a serious electrical issue or improper grounding somewhere in the car harness or wiring. Problem 2) the ABS & traction control light comes on and off while driving. The brake pedal will tighten up some times. I change my brakes, keep my wheel balance and rotated. Still having issue. Again speed sensors have been replace. Problem 3 ) uconnect radio something it will freezes up and wont play any sound, wont connect to the phone. It?S blank out and I have go to the back fuse box in the trunk and hard reset it by pulling the fuse.

This problem has occurred 3 times in less than a month. Vehicle is parked. One head light out, depending which time this has happened. Vehicle will not turn over but all electrical comes on and stays on. Dash board messages include: "service transmission continue in D. do not shift or turn engine off", 'until you reach a desired location you may not be able to shift again until serviced','service stabilitrack' or something along those lines, and "key fob not found" even though key fob is in car. Shifter continuously blinks and a constant dinging as if a key was left in an ignition. You cannot move shifter out of park. All electrical components stay on and will not shut off. Car has acted like it doesn't want to start but ends up turning over slowly, a few times before these problems started. This issue started at around 5250 miles (but restarted after 15 mins), then again two days later at 5300 miles (got it to restart after at least 30 mins) took into dealership and that's when Dodge replaced the shifter after having the car for a week. Again the issue has occurred at 5857 miles. Moved car out of garage, noticed one head light out, and I knew I had to try and restart it from previous issues. Sure enough, it would not turn over but all electrical came on and stayed on. Had to have the vehicle towed back to dealership with malfunctioning electrical still on. Battery had died by the time the dealership service team looked at it.
