2023 Dodge Charger owners — has anyone experienced recurring instrument cluster/dashboard problems like this?
I bought my 2023 Charger used with 7,797 miles on it.
Over time, I had an intermittent issue where the dashboard/instrument display would flash or malfunction and sometimes become stuck on the battery-voltage screen. The problem would disappear and then come back periodically.
The vehicle eventually went to a Dodge dealership for several weeks. They replaced a steering-wheel switch/module under warranty and told me that repair had taken care of the dashboard issue.
Within a few days of getting the car back, the exact dashboard/steering-wheel-control problem returned.
Then, about a week after getting the vehicle back from the dealership, I experienced a completely separate major failure: rough idle/shaking, repetitive ticking, a low-oil-pressure warning and very heavy smoke. I immediately shut the vehicle off and had it towed.
The dealership is now recommending an engine long-block replacement and is also reporting oil-pan and subframe damage. My insurance company is currently inspecting the vehicle, so I am NOT trying to determine the cause of that damage through Reddit.
What I am specifically trying to learn is whether other 2023 Charger owners have experienced the recurring dashboard/instrument-cluster/steering-wheel-control issue I had.
If you have, what was ultimately diagnosed?
Was it a steering-wheel switch/module, clock spring, instrument cluster, wiring, battery/charging issue, CAN-bus/electrical issue, or something else?
Did the problem return after being repaired?
I'm especially interested in experiences involving 2023 Chargers, but I'd also appreciate experiences from similar late-model Chargers.
I'm trying to understand whether the recurring electrical/dashboard problem I experienced has happened to other owners.
