2019 Dodge Charger Electrical System Problems

Vehicle: Dodge Charger GT Recall: SABIC Side Airbag Inflator Replacement Dealer: ourisman chrysler dodge jeep ram of clarksville, maryland Date of Recall Repair: feb 27, 2026 Complaint Description: After the dealer performed the SABIC inflator recall on my Dodge Charger GT, the vehicle immediately developed new electrical failures that were not present before the repair. As soon as I picked up the car, the interior dome/map lights stopped working, and the right‑side exterior front lighting also failed. These failures occurred directly after the recall repair, indicating the dealer likely damaged or disconnected wiring inside the A‑pillar/B‑pillar or roof harness while accessing the inflator. This creates a safety hazard, especially at night, because the right exterior lighting is inoperative and interior lighting does not function. The dealer has not acknowledged responsibility, and the vehicle was returned to me in an unsafe condition after a federally mandated recall repair.
