When attempting to apply brakes, the pedal sunk to the floor with no result. On subsequent attempts, the left front brake activated and locked up while there was no apparent effect on the other 3 wheels. The car veered to the left as a result of the one brake being applied, and began to travel down the road at an angle of about 45 degrees. Correction was required to steer out, the brake remained locked up and not responding to the pedal. Automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems did not activate and my vehicle collided with the one ahead. AWD seemed to activate just prior to the collision, which assisted in correcting the brake lockup. Inspection of the vehicle seems to indicate electrical issues caused a brake booster fault, and likely caused failure of the emergency braking systems to activate. These issues first appeared the day of the accident, no error messages or trouble codes were present. It appears the braking system is faulty, due to electronic controls, seemingly. The car is available for inspection. The left front rotor is scored deeply and the artifacts on the asphalt indicate that the left front tire was dragging/skidding up to the point of impact.

When I bought the car all brake lights were on. I took it to Landers and they diagnosed the problem as a bad ABS control module and another part connected to it. I'm unable to use cruise control and my traction control is off as well. The warning lights will occasionally go off but they are usually on. Also the manufacturer has discontinued the parts I need so I can't get them to fix the issues.

Car has approximately 90,000 miles. Driving on interstate at highway speed, car suddenly popped 3 lights; traction control, ABS, and the parking brake indicator. Repair shop has diagnosed as the ABS module needing replacement. There are no other symptoms besides the warning lights and cruise control not working. At this time I have no way of knowing if any of these systems have actually failed since the ABS module has shut off these systems.

Was driving on a clear day when, my traction control went on and off by itself and the ABS went off by itself causing me to lose control, it was hard to pull over with the ABS going on and off on their own. AWD system also went on and off on its own. Brought car to dealer the very next morning they kept car the whole day and was told it was fine and that they got no codes. I had test the car for codes after the incident had taken place and I got the following coeds. U0415 ' ABS, C147B front axle disconnected sensor. Yet the dealer gave me the car that I still under warranty back, with their own invoice stating no codes. I test the car for codes when I got from the car dealer and some of the codes were cleared, expect for ABS U0415. The car is clearly not fine and the AWD system is still not working the way it should. Also the car when park rolls everything time about a foot forward or back pending on slope of street. The road was a four lane road with two lanes East and two lanes West and I was going straight at about 35 mph, as I had just recently left from a red light.

I'm still having, (battery saver mode light coming on). And now I'm worried about the ("takata recall"). I've taken my Dodge Charger back to Dodge dealership for service today, 11/16/17, as the (ABS) & (traction control) lights both were on. And as I was driving my car to the dealership I tried to set my cruise control at 75 mph as I was on I-77 South, but I couldn't get it to set at any speed. Today 11/17/2017 my repair bill is $350 dollars + a car payment and hopefully I can get home with the alternator issues. I'm tired of paying for something that I'm afraid to drive anywhere I need to go. This Dodge belongs to a family of 4 including myself, can someone please help me get something done asap I think I have a beautiful vehicle and I don't really want to trade it just because of the no parts available, as my luck would be, the parts would be available the same month as I traded cars.

I always bring my car to rancho Chrysler Jeep Dodge on 8010 balboa avenue san diego, ca 92111 regarding the "batter saver mode". I've had this car for almost 2 years and have gone in several times about this issue. They replaced the battery/alternator at least that's what I was told and the "battery saver mode" still comes on. The issue is if you turn off the car it goes away. I was informed to bring it back in if the "battery saver mode" comes back on but if the place isn't opened that's impossible to do so. I would like this to be fixed, my car cuts off at times when I start it and drive off in the morning when it's colder and this has been happening for years which this was reported to the car company as well.
