Good video, I recall taking my vehicle in for the ignition key & airbag recalls few years ago. My 2008 charger missed the radiator fan recall by couple letters, which unfortunately the fan blades came apart destroying the radiator. Currently pushing 215,000 miles though, it’s been a pleasure driving this HEMI since 2012!
Calling your dealer for anything will cost you hefty amount of money. The internet and a trusted local shop are your best friends not the dealership lol
That is true but he did say you could have the dealer check it. You wouldn't believe the million and billionaires that wouldn't trade even the $100 for the $1000-$10000 an hour they can make or even what thier free time is worth. Always badass to have that option but for sure your gonna have to pay to play! It's the name of the game!
Yeah I own a 2007 as well and I’ve never had a single issue. And I think I had the same airbag issue. Put in a new head unit and now the airbag light stays on. Rather then that car performs and drives amazing I love it. An I do my best to take care of it other then driving like crazy sometimes
Just replace the air bag your self and save $. A1 auto has a ez video on how to. Also, these vehicles are very sensitive to oil changes so be careful when not changing your oil or it will mess up your mds solenoids or worse.
Other issues to look out for on the 3.5l chagers: -Misfires. If its not the Plug or a Coil its one of the rocker arms tend to fall on some of these engins it'll cause a misfire. -Fuel level sensor code. P0462 or p0463.
Hi, man and I don’t want to waste your time. Just need some advice from you and I am trying to buy one old charger with good mileage and can you advice how to make it last long and what mileage should I replace. Are you the first owner?
Some tips. Don't let these hemis idle for long periods of time, stay on top of your oil changes, don't beat on the car until it's warmed up, make sure the cooling system is maintained and don't be cheap with critical stuff. Basic, but makes these cars last a long time. 142k on mine and runs like a top.
Mine has 192k and been abused it entire life by previous owners. My motor oil was so thick it wouldn't drain. Also had needle bearings in the trans pan. Still shifts perfectly fine though.
Great content. Just dropped off my 2010 Charger V6 3.5L to get the 3-way heater hose replaced. Dumped all the coolant, luckily while stationary. Heard around that's another big issue with these cars.
I have the 3.5 liter one with 130k miles. No major issues yet. One issue I have had is that the valve stem metal gets brittle, cracks and causes slow leaks and would have flats when parked over night, they cost about $60 to replace because they have that magnetic tire pressure sensor thing in them.
Virtually every control arm Hass to be replaced every 70,000 miles. With a 3.5 engine the flex pipe on the left-hand side. And yes my fan shot through my radiator and caused a lot of damage. Shocks and struts and countless sets of brakes. It handles great it’s wheel drive it goes in the snow it rides fantastic! I am so glad Dodge is keeping these cars around!
I just did mine at uh...130k or so? All OG parts in there lmfao. The ''rearward'' lower control arms or the one which goes straight and connects to the strut and ball joint was fried lol, bushing was pushed right out of the arm, good times. Yeah front end parts go bad fairly often but hey what you gonna do.
Ya amazing car 2009 sxt cop car with 200k runs like new 3 owner person before didn’t know wat spark plugs were got car for $800 put 10 k on it and after change of the plugs
Very nice! My '06 RT has just over 220k and still running strong. (knock on wood) I replaced the tierods & sway bars last summer, I still need to replace the struts, but other than that it's been super reliable and a blast to drive.
The shifter linkage the little pink Part always breaks on these. I just replaced mine not too long ago. Thanks for the vid will be taking mine to the dealer for the airbags
9/10 the air bags have been replaced on the driver and passenger sides. As a Chrysler tech I haven’t seen the Steering angle sensor go bad unless you have someone align the car incorrectly, usually you can re-initialize it by driving. The suspension should be a BIG concern for anyone wanting to daily these 24/7, the tension struts and lower control arms (both could be considered lower control arms) always go bad. And the water pumps on the hemi’s especially pre-eagle like to spew coolant from the pulley snout.
2007 Dodge charger: The Heater/AC fan died. I replaced it myself and now it works. And this is a big one: the oil dipstick top (yellow portion) broke off. I have heard of this happening to others. Too bad the dipstick wasn't made of all metal like the old GM ones were.
I have a 07 and mines broke off the day I bought it! LOL the guy I bought it from just fixed it with crazy glue and 2 years later it's still holding on!!!
Just had to replace my radiator and fan on 07 Charger 3.5 the fan blades (plastic) wobbled and tore a hole in the radiator until they broke off. Pulled a fan from the junk yard (LKQ) bought a new radiator and it’s working good now. I’m in Fl and I don’t know about other areas but the thing I hate most is how the paint and clear coat fade and chip. The plastic bumpers almost look another color. Just did the Dupli color can paint job and clear coat and it looks much better. Saving up to have the whole car paint Torred red next year. I am just grateful for so many Mods that are available. My 07 doesn’t look outdated. It has low miles and runs great. Wouldn’t mind getting a 2015 RT or SXT.
I had an srt8 shipped from Arizona to my house in Ohio, and trust me I have the same issues with the paint as the hot climate left crows feet in the paint
I had that issue with the fan break into pieces and went through the radiator a couple years ago. One thing you miss and is the worst problem of this car is Control arms bushing. I change em all around the car about 3 years ago cost me 6000$ canadian. Now one of em need to be done again. But apart from that this car is amazing.
I’ve had my 08 sxt 3.5 almost 5 years and I’ve had to replace alternator twice, egr valve,water pump& timing belt, radiator and fan, the fan shattered and busted radiator, rocker arms replaced, ball joints, bad injector, I love it, but dang, there for awhile it was always something and it’s 700 or more to fix it every time.. and I’m sure I’m forgetting some things
I would add that the front lower control arms repeatedly go bad on the front bushings. With 147,000 miles I am now on my second replacement of every single front control arms upper and lower along with two outer tie rod ends. It’s never the pivot point or ball joint and it’s always the rubber bushing and on the control arms.They dry rot and crack very rapidly allowing the front wheels to move back-and-forth from front to rear. You’ll also notice a thud going over bumps. If you’re riding next to your own car it actually looks a bit scary.. also if you’re in the salt belt the toner rings for the axles get rusty and set off ABS codes.
Probably installing them wrong. People forget that those suspension parts need to be pre loaded with weight before final torque. Failing to do so causes the bushings to crack prematurely as the car settles to normal ride height
Hi, man and I don’t want to waste your time. Just need some advice from you and I am trying to buy one old charger with good mileage and can you advice how to make it last long and what mileage should I replace. Are you the first owner?
I have the 2011 silver letter rt charger. Have changed the water pump twice and the alternator and radiator. The vehicle has over 265,000 miles on it. Having a bad cooling problem still that I guess I’m gonna have to throw parts at to figure out, but I feel like I got my money out of it. Bought it new.
2008 transmission changed 2 times and same issue persisted..4 speed transmission sucked on this car..dodge was supportive through it all so no complaints in that area..
I came to ur channel a lil late!! One of my fans came apart and went into my radiator just like u said.had to buy new radiator and fans.oh and tow my car to the mechanic.PRICEY.
It's because the cars are too heavy for the weak, lighter vehicle struts. That's why I bought a cop car. R/T with enhanced suspension, bigger breaks and larger cooling system (and bigger battery).
i have a 2006 charger and one major problem that was huge around my area was the transmissions going bad. mine had to be replaced 3 times. thank god for dealer warranty 😂
I'm currently daily driving a 2006 dodge charger with 192k miles. I changed the trans fluid and found needle bearings in the pan. Well that was a year ago and it still shifts perfectly fine. The trans fluid was never changed so it has probably been like that for years.
It is usually not the steering angle sensor itself but the clock spring that is broken. The steering angle sensor is an array of photo-interrupters and the clock spring has all the parts that do the interrupting for the steering angle sensor. The thing that breaks the clock spring every time is the blinker signal auto reset tab on the multi-function switch. The white tab that pops inwards towards the clock spring when the left/right blinker is on will contact the clock spring as you turn the wheel and that contact is supposed to reset the signal to the off position but will eventually destroy the plastic clock spring. Wish they made a metal insert for the clock spring, would have helped a lot. :/ I decided I don't care about the auto reset feature and since I'd rather not replace the clock spring ever again, I clipped off that stupid white tab on the multi-function switch short enough that it never hit the clock spring again. I don't know if that new clock spring will live forever but it will certainly live longer without that tab beating on it...
Only thing that annoys me is how easy i lose traction. Its my first car so ive learned it and ik how to control/ correct it but it gets annoying sometimes especially since i have the 2.7
#1 issue with these gen of chargers is the STALLING OUT AT LIGHTS N STOP SIGNS!! They are notorious for it. Replace the computer and replaced basically everything! Find a answer for that if you wann address problems
Yup I have a 06 rt and it stalls randomly. Had it scanned and got ecm and pcm codes they told me they don’t know if it’s a bad wire connection or if I need a new computer so frustrating
Gentlemen, the possible problem for stalling at lights and stop signs is the EGR tubing that connects to the back of the intake. The blue O-ring needs to be replaced. Cost is $15-$20 at dealer. It's located close to motor for wipers.
Did u try throttle body? Ground cables? mine was stalling, ended up being my pcm. But then after I had it diagnosed and it had a few dtc/systems that needed updates. Not all shops have the tools to perform a thorough diagnostic because some of them are for dodge/Nissan/Mercedes’ specific so not ever shop has the right tool. A simple scanner won’t show you what’s going on
Ever since the airbag recall work was done on 08’ 3.5 se it has become a DTC Code Nightmare!!! C121A, C121C, U0126, 2205, P0344, P0340! The turn signals, high beams, A/C, and Radio quit working! As soon as different things are repaired then something else new pops up OR one of the repaired come back up! We had a total of two DTC’s and after the repair was completed and both codes dropped off less than 50 miles after that 9 damn engine codes popped up along with 3 abs codes! So if you’re not going through it congratulations but remember this post and someone ALWAYS has a much different experience than you are!
I have an 08 SRT Charger and it was recalled for the ignition switch and the air bags. I have been having the issue with the traction control light and ordered the angle steering switch. Along with that I ordered the multi switch or directional switch because the wipers work intermittently. I changed the wiper motor but I still have the issue. The car only has 37,000 miles. I have it since new. I love the way the car runs and drives, it's just frustrating dealing with some of these issues with such low mileage. I'll check my cooling fans next. Thank you for the video.
I have a 06 Daytona that I bought new and now has 136,000. It's pretty decent so far, the gas tank had a recall that kept making it stall when you filled it up. The tie tods and sway bar bushings are cooked. Replaced the leaking radiator last summer ( that was a bitch). The dash light go haywire once and a while and I never figured that out... Other then that just normal maintenance. Mobil 1 with a predator tune it runs sweet!
My steering angle sensor went bad of course, no key issue due to the fact that my key is traditional, fan blade blew up and ruptured the radiator. But i still love this car. Plum crazy 2007 RT Charger
Mine went in for body work and the air bag but when I got the car back it was leaking trans fluid from the pan (had a hole all of a sudden) and the rear suspension was all shot like someone took it drifting and hit a curb but the dealer doesn't know if they replaced the air bag inflator
I would like to suggest that before you go sticking your hand on the fan, that you disconnect the battery. Especially if the vehicle is still somewhat warm as the electric motors could come on at any time.
Hi, man and I don’t want to waste your time. Just need some advice from you and I am trying to buy one old charger with good mileage and can you advice how to make it last long and what mileage should I replace. Are you the first owner?
My fan did exactly that. Went into the radiator. Lol still drive that vehicle. Currently youtuber to figure out why its shaking... hoping your video explained vacuum lines lol
Every car has its problems. But some cars will rapidly especially nowadays will rob you of your time and hard earned money big time. Mechanics body repair, and electronic experts needed to fix the 2000'S vehicles is expensive!!!! Their rates are up to 15 x your salary!!!. if you make about 10 an hour. if you make 2250 an hour which most poor dont its al least 8 x that to start to fix your car or about 125 per hour start!! So people think!!! There are alot of dependable vehicles out there!!! Stop looking at the glamour .
You forgot to mention the MDS system. Almost all of these have major problems when you don't change the oil frequently. They start to clog up the solenoids.
my 08 w/ 5.7 was an old cop car and my tail lights short out everytime i touch the brakes while in drive, yet the signals, brake lights and hazards all still work. mechanic has checked it numerous times and cant find anything wrong as everything works fine while in park. I saw online it might be fuse box relay but cant tell for sure. only got pulled over for it 4 times so far w/ only 1 ticket
I have a 06 rt and it stalls randomly. Had it scanned and got ecm and pcm codes they told me they don’t know if it’s a bad wire connection or if I need a new computer so frustrating

Check your EGR valve tubing that connects to back of air intake. Sometimes it gets loose because the O-ring rubber seal needs replacing. Cost $15 - $20 at dealer. Hope this helps.
My cruise control stopped working on my 2007 dodge charger and I have no idea where to begin to fix it. Cant find much on the internet either about it...
- The buttons on my wheel started to get hard to press, until they totally failed, I have no idea how to fix it or if there's even a fix because I have a 2009 RT, also, -hard drive of the uconnect failure, I think the heat accelerated end of the lifespan for it and It seems it can't format it any more as I tried after suddenly not reading any of the songs I had stored in there.... -The sunroof drain lines get clogged (I dunno if that's what they're called) and if it rains heavily, the roof gets all wet as there's nowhere for the water to go...
My 08 dodge charger has none of these problems but I did get the recall notice in the mail.. my problem is the passenger side headlight not working/not getting voltage.. any suggestions
(Fixed) because it used to be a cop car someone messed with the light wires by adding strobe lights to the headlight. And while taking all the cop accessories off the car for Civilian purchase they sliced in to the main wiring harness with a razor blade. Easy fix was hard to track down
I have a 2009 dodge charger that my ac compresser has went out and my pulley keeps eating my sepertine belt. Can I bypass the ac completely. I can't afford to buy a new unit. I just don't know what do.
I like it but I feel I need a start button Bc every time I go to start it.... it goes like it’s trying to start but won’t. so I have to turn it back off then do it again. Then kicks on.
Man mine is doing the same thing right now been fighting if it’s the fuel injectors or something because there is times like first thing in the mornings is my problem sometimes it won’t crank on and 2 mins after it turns right no so wierd
I have a police 2008 dodge charger. So I need to know if i need to replace everything on it ? I need new brakes its metal on metal how many pins are in the front an how. Many are in the back ? My input speed sensor 2 circuit. No signal I cant go pass 15 Miles I need help then In side the car its hot an the engine stays hot then when I started it up sometimes it Don t want to turn on
I have a 07 Charger RT and I believe a have valve seat cover issue. Check engine light comes and mostly goes, but other then that she drive fast, but not fast enough. #MoPowerBABY
I can only put my back windows down from the driver side master switch, I can’t roll down either front windows .. all windows work from their own switches except the driver side.. anyone have a solution?? 2008 Dodge Charger srt8
Okay so I'm sure you roll the front two windows up and down more often then the back two. If you take the master switch/button board out and break it down to where you can see the stems of all 4 or even just the front two switches, you will see a connecter piece in the shape of a titter totter.... It's not getting a connection from the circuit board to the actual button. You can either replace the whole setup and have a new board and buttons or you can see if you can solder just enough down inside to complete the connection. (Or just to by you some time maybe move the 2 rear electrical plugs down in the door to the front and the fronts to the back.) I felt with the same problem on my 07 sxt
I have an 2008 Dodge Charger SE 2.7 V6 I was wondering who knows how to disable traction control or ESP. My vehicle doesn’t have the traction control button.
Coast at 10mph, then turn and hold key in Start position. Release after chime and yellow warning lights come on. Trac ESP and ABS will be completely disabled; not possible using the just ESP/Trac OFF button. To reset, stop vehicle, turn key completely off and then restart. FYI, this will set several diagnostic trouble codes, but will not set the check engine light. These codes could cost you unnecessary time/money if they are present when diagnosing vehicle issues.
I have an 06 rt. My issue is I have like a dead spot in my steering wheel where when I'm driving it has free play right at center I believe. It also makes a noise when turning. Any idea what could be the issue?
Is the sound kinda like a clunk sound when turning in a certain direction? If so my 06 rt does the same thing. The entire front suspension was replaced about 7 years ago. However it sat for 4 years. I've only really noticed the dead spot when I park the car and straighten the wheels.
Hi, man and I don’t want to waste your time. Just need some advice from you and I am trying to buy one old charger with good mileage and can you advice how to make it last long and what mileage should I replace. Are you the first owner?
Hey guys got a 2007 base charger and was doing a cleaning of dashboard and I took out the instrument panel to clean it I put it back in and now my left control arm that dose wipers, high beams,... But no power I checked the plug in and there's 3 of them so I don't get why I now don't have any power to the column? Help.

Had to replace mine as well in my 08
Shouldn't this be a recall?
Had this happen to my '07 SXT years ago
There is a metal replacement for the pink thing. It’s an aftermarket thing. Sorry can’t remember where I got mine but it may have been E-bay
Replaced mine 3 times, Third time with an after market metal part, all good for 8 years now.
9/10 the air bags have been replaced on the driver and passenger sides.

I came to ur channel a lil late!! One of my fans came apart and went into my radiator just like u said.had to buy new radiator and fans.oh and tow my car to the mechanic.PRICEY.
How much did you pay overall?
Same in my 07. Sounded like a explosion under my car.
I’ve had a 2008 sxt and now an 2010 rt and I will say only thing I’ve had issues with is the suspension struts go bad very fast
Nice did you keep your sxt I plan to get an rt someday and hopefully a daytona
Hey when you say very fast what do you mean, months, weeks or a year?
I have a 2010 too I've already changed my suspension twice 🤦♂️
Stop putting big Ace rims on them lol
It's because the cars are too heavy for the weak, lighter vehicle struts. That's why I bought a cop car. R/T with enhanced suspension, bigger breaks and larger cooling system (and bigger battery).
I got an '09 charger pursuit
A few small issues here & there that just wear out over time, but overall love this monster to death
Valve seat droping is a major issue with these engines and also the famous hemi tick. Usually means lifters
Similar to the 3.5
Do you guys have a video teaching the basics of a 2010 Dodge Charger?? Im trying to learn more about my car and Idk where to start.
This is a awesome VIRRICAL lol
i have a 2006 charger and one major problem that was huge around my area was the transmissions going bad. mine had to be replaced 3 times. thank god for dealer warranty 😂
+Sam Gallegos Thanks for checking us out!
I'm currently daily driving a 2006 dodge charger with 192k miles. I changed the trans fluid and found needle bearings in the pan. Well that was a year ago and it still shifts perfectly fine. The trans fluid was never changed so it has probably been like that for years.
i had 2006 model. i had to replace tie-rods multiple times a year
It is usually not the steering angle sensor itself but the clock spring that is broken. The steering angle sensor is an array of photo-interrupters and the clock spring has all the parts that do the interrupting for the steering angle sensor. The thing that breaks the clock spring every time is the blinker signal auto reset tab on the multi-function switch. The white tab that pops inwards towards the clock spring when the left/right blinker is on will contact the clock spring as you turn the wheel and that contact is supposed to reset the signal to the off position but will eventually destroy the plastic clock spring. Wish they made a metal insert for the clock spring, would have helped a lot. :/ I decided I don't care about the auto reset feature and since I'd rather not replace the clock spring ever again, I clipped off that stupid white tab on the multi-function switch short enough that it never hit the clock spring again. I don't know if that new clock spring will live forever but it will certainly live longer without that tab beating on it...
Only thing that annoys me is how easy i lose traction. Its my first car so ive learned it and ik how to control/ correct it but it gets annoying sometimes especially since i have the 2.7
#1 issue with these gen of chargers is the STALLING OUT AT LIGHTS N STOP SIGNS!! They are notorious for it. Replace the computer and replaced basically everything! Find a answer for that if you wann address problems
Yup I have a 06 rt and it stalls randomly. Had it scanned and got ecm and pcm codes they told me they don’t know if it’s a bad wire connection or if I need a new computer so frustrating
Get a Diablo tuner. It will cure it
Just brought won too, it does the same thing randomly Im thinking about changing the spark plugs. Any advice anyone?
Gentlemen, the possible problem for stalling at lights and stop signs is the EGR tubing that connects to the back of the intake. The blue O-ring needs to be replaced. Cost is $15-$20 at dealer.
It's located close to motor for wipers.
Did u try throttle body? Ground cables? mine was stalling, ended up being my pcm. But then after I had it diagnosed and it had a few dtc/systems that needed updates. Not all shops have the tools to perform a thorough diagnostic because some of them are for dodge/Nissan/Mercedes’ specific so not ever shop has the right tool. A simple scanner won’t show you what’s going on
Ever since the airbag recall work was done on 08’ 3.5 se it has become a DTC Code Nightmare!!! C121A, C121C, U0126, 2205, P0344, P0340! The turn signals, high beams, A/C, and Radio quit working! As soon as different things are repaired then something else new pops up OR one of the repaired come back up! We had a total of two DTC’s and after the repair was completed and both codes dropped off less than 50 miles after that 9 damn engine codes popped up along with 3 abs codes! So if you’re not going through it congratulations but remember this post and someone ALWAYS has a much different experience than you are!
I have an 08 SRT Charger and it was recalled for the ignition switch and the air bags. I have been having the issue with the traction control light and ordered the angle steering switch. Along with that I ordered the multi switch or directional switch because the wipers work intermittently. I changed the wiper motor but I still have the issue. The car only has 37,000 miles. I have it since new. I love the way the car runs and drives, it's just frustrating dealing with some of these issues with such low mileage. I'll check my cooling fans next. Thank you for the video.
I have a 06 Daytona that I bought new and now has 136,000. It's pretty decent so far, the gas tank had a recall that kept making it stall when you filled it up. The tie tods and sway bar bushings are cooked. Replaced the leaking radiator last summer ( that was a bitch). The dash light go haywire once and a while and I never figured that out... Other then that just normal maintenance. Mobil 1 with a predator tune it runs sweet!
Thanks for informing!!! Appreciate the video man!!!
2006 rt and srt-8 models watch out for transmission conductor plate speed sensor ^ Notorious for going bad and “leaking” as well
My steering angle sensor went bad of course, no key issue due to the fact that my key is traditional, fan blade blew up and ruptured the radiator. But i still love this car. Plum crazy 2007 RT Charger
2014 chargers common issues are they are known to overheat as they age! at 180k my engine overheated and parts began to fail!
You forgot suspension, front suspension to be exact.
+Shondrea Hopkins Thanks for checking us out!
You are right the suspension is trash
Did you feel a slight vibration in the wheel when your suspension went bad? Mine has that, at least when slowing down from highway speeds.
@@user-df2so4js7x that's your rotors need new ones or resurfaced
Mine shakes as well when trying to slow down when going fast
If he says veericle one more time im gonna cry
It makes me giggle ,He seems like a fun guy so i will let it slide. ha ha ha.
Mine went in for body work and the air bag but when I got the car back it was leaking trans fluid from the pan (had a hole all of a sudden) and the rear suspension was all shot like someone took it drifting and hit a curb but the dealer doesn't know if they replaced the air bag inflator
I would like to suggest that before you go sticking your hand on the fan, that you disconnect the battery. Especially if the vehicle is still somewhat warm as the electric motors could come on at any time.
+Andy Quick Thanks for the feedback!
They're plastic calm down.
Nick, sharp plastic still cuts skin. Even when the fans aren't moving.
@@1hughessean I still have the scars from one catching me during a belt change
I have a 2010 RT Charger with 215,000 miles... Only major issue I've had is it needed a new computer at 195,000.
Hi, man and I don’t want to waste your time. Just need some advice from you and I am trying to buy one old charger with good mileage and can you advice how to make it last long and what mileage should I replace. Are you the first owner?
My fan did exactly that. Went into the radiator. Lol still drive that vehicle. Currently youtuber to figure out why its shaking... hoping your video explained vacuum lines lol
Very helpful and professional keep up the good work ! 👍🏼

Every car has its problems. But some cars will rapidly especially nowadays will rob you of your time and hard earned money big time. Mechanics body repair, and electronic experts needed to fix the 2000'S vehicles is expensive!!!! Their rates are up to 15 x your salary!!!. if you make about 10 an hour. if you make 2250 an hour which most poor dont its al least 8 x that to start to fix your car or about 125 per hour start!! So people think!!! There are alot of dependable vehicles out there!!! Stop looking at the glamour .

Fuel sending unit go’s but you know hit my dash where the Gas gauge is it’ll work again 😂
That's the cluster kicking the p0462 from the sounds of it. Hitting the dash would do nothing to the sending unit lol.
You forgot to mention the MDS system. Almost all of these have major problems when you don't change the oil frequently. They start to clog up the solenoids.
@SuperGoldnut just change your oil every 4k miles with good engine and oil filter. Buy a diablo tuner and turn mds off
my 08 w/ 5.7 was an old cop car and my tail lights short out everytime i touch the brakes while in drive, yet the signals, brake lights and hazards all still work. mechanic has checked it numerous times and cant find anything wrong as everything works fine while in park. I saw online it might be fuse box relay but cant tell for sure. only got pulled over for it 4 times so far w/ only 1 ticket
+briansantella4022 Thanks for the feedback! Let us know when you figure out what the issue is!
Problem because of the way police lights were installed then removed? Just a thought
@@nyrob420 another comment said that’s what the reason was for their passenger side headlight

Check your EGR valve tubing that connects to back of air intake. Sometimes it gets loose because the O-ring rubber seal needs replacing. Cost $15 - $20 at dealer. Hope this helps.
@@richey1794 sounds easy but for me idk where that is.and mechanic acting dumb.. afraid to take to dodge because of fee
My cruise control stopped working on my 2007 dodge charger and I have no idea where to begin to fix it. Cant find much on the internet either about it...
- The buttons on my wheel started to get hard to press, until they totally failed, I have no idea how to fix it or if there's even a fix because I have a 2009 RT, also,
-hard drive of the uconnect failure, I think the heat accelerated end of the lifespan for it and It seems it can't format it any more as I tried after suddenly not reading any of the songs I had stored in there....
-The sunroof drain lines get clogged (I dunno if that's what they're called) and if it rains heavily, the roof gets all wet as there's nowhere for the water to go...
I have a 08 charger and the battery only last 10 minutes if you don’t have the car turnt all the way on
My 08 dodge charger has none of these problems but I did get the recall notice in the mail.. my problem is the passenger side headlight not working/not getting voltage.. any suggestions
(Fixed) because it used to be a cop car someone messed with the light wires by adding strobe lights to the headlight. And while taking all the cop accessories off the car for Civilian purchase they sliced in to the main wiring harness with a razor blade. Easy fix was hard to track down
I have a 08 police car too. I have the same issue. Head light burning bulbs
I have a 2009 dodge charger that my ac compresser has went out and my pulley keeps eating my sepertine belt. Can I bypass the ac completely. I can't afford to buy a new unit. I just don't know what do.
Can the loose ignition cause problems like struggling to start it?
So does that mean that the traction control is off or just the sensor is messed up?
My 08 Dodge Charger has the a/c and defroster lights blinking. How do I fix this? Fuse/relay replacement maybe, hopefully... 🤔. Any thoughts?
I want to get the used one for my mum 2010 model I hope I will enjoy buying it
I bought my car around 3 years ago no idea if it had the airbag replacement or not
I have a 2010 with broken under carriage bolt at the sway bar bracket area ... ???? Suggestions ?
Gonna have to drill it out
Very nice man!
I like it but I feel I need a start button Bc every time I go to start it.... it goes like it’s trying to start but won’t. so I have to turn it back off then do it again. Then kicks on.
Man mine is doing the same thing right now been fighting if it’s the fuel injectors or something because there is times like first thing in the mornings is my problem sometimes it won’t crank on and 2 mins after it turns right no so wierd
2009 stx only issue i have right now is when car gets hot wont start again until i remove the transmission relay located in the trunk.. any ideas????
I have a police 2008 dodge charger. So I need to know if i need to replace everything on it ? I need new brakes its metal on metal how many pins are in the front an how. Many are in the back ? My input speed sensor 2 circuit. No signal I cant go pass 15 Miles I need help then In side the car its hot an the engine stays hot then when I started it up sometimes it Don t want to turn on

i have a 07 charger 3.5 v6 im doing the brake lines are they hard to bleed...?
Just brought won too, it does the same thing randomly Im thinking about changing the spark plugs. Any advice anyone?
Randomly stalls
I got a 2010 sxt from a family friend and I want to know is it normal for the tunk latch to become wobbly after some years
I have 4th problem which you mentioned I want a solution for that. What I need to do
I have a 07 Charger RT and I believe a have valve seat cover issue. Check engine light comes and mostly goes, but other then that she drive fast, but not fast enough. #MoPowerBABY
He says vericle instead of vehicle
Verhickle
I can only put my back windows down from the driver side master switch, I can’t roll down either front windows .. all windows work from their own switches except the driver side.. anyone have a solution?? 2008 Dodge Charger srt8
I’m dealing with the same issue… I have a 2010
Okay so I'm sure you roll the front two windows up and down more often then the back two. If you take the master switch/button board out and break it down to where you can see the stems of all 4 or even just the front two switches, you will see a connecter piece in the shape of a titter totter.... It's not getting a connection from the circuit board to the actual button.
You can either replace the whole setup and have a new board and buttons or you can see if you can solder just enough down inside to complete the connection. (Or just to by you some time maybe move the 2 rear electrical plugs down in the door to the front and the fronts to the back.)
I felt with the same problem on my 07 sxt
(Vee-hericle) thats what I hear every time he says vehicle 😂
tell me how to fix my rear trunk not opening from the trunk release in the cab
Thanks
I have an 2008 Dodge Charger SE 2.7 V6
I was wondering who knows how to disable traction control or ESP. My vehicle doesn’t have the traction control button.
Coast at 10mph, then turn and hold key in Start position. Release after chime and yellow warning lights come on. Trac ESP and ABS will be completely disabled; not possible using the just ESP/Trac OFF button. To reset, stop vehicle, turn key completely off and then restart. FYI, this will set several diagnostic trouble codes, but will not set the check engine light. These codes could cost you unnecessary time/money if they are present when diagnosing vehicle issues.
Good information!

is the fact that the Dodge Charger engine fails with around 100000 miles or not
Yes, the engine does fail. Got the heads on my engine changed around 130k miles. Runs great now
Mine has 150,000 miles and hasn’t failed yet but i hope it don’t
I’m going on 150000 🤷♂️ only problem I’ve had was the alternator going bad
138000 miles and engine still sharp. 🤞
150k on 5.7L. No problems, yet.
How do u take windshield washer reservoir off 2008 dodge charger
Im having sum problems with my 07 charger rt. It won’t start up. It cranks up but won’t start any ideas of what y’all might think it is ???
2006 Dodge Charger it’s runs good no problem
I have an 06 rt. My issue is I have like a dead spot in my steering wheel where when I'm driving it has free play right at center I believe. It also makes a noise when turning. Any idea what could be the issue?
Is the sound kinda like a clunk sound when turning in a certain direction? If so my 06 rt does the same thing. The entire front suspension was replaced about 7 years ago. However it sat for 4 years. I've only really noticed the dead spot when I park the car and straighten the wheels.
Ball joints and Tie rods bro...possibemwheel bearing
It end up being the Lower intermediate steering shaft.
I don’t think I have anything to worry about. He’s talking about issues in Verhicles. I drive vehicles.

0:32 how to fix that dashboard that popup ? Please send help thanks 👍🏻
Hey guys got a 2007 base charger and was doing a cleaning of dashboard and I took out the instrument panel to clean it I put it back in and now my left control arm that dose wipers, high beams,... But no power I checked the plug in and there's 3 of them so I don't get why I now don't have any power to the column? Help.
How’s the transmission in these? I have had two Dodge Ram 1500s and both had transmission go out.
I had to replace mine. A little hint, the transmissions are made by Mercedes not dodge
The only problem I have with my 07 3.5 SE is the fuel gauge Sensor cutting out. Not enough voltage. Loose wire connectors behind dash.
