ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THERE NEEDS BE A RECALL FOR THE 2010 DODGE CHARGER SXT. WHILE DRIVING HOME ON THE INTERSTATE, JUST AS I'M MERGING ON TO MY EXIT, THE CAR SHUTS COMPLETELY DOWN WHILE IN MOTION DURING TRAFFIC. I HAD NO IDEA THAT IT HAD COMPLETELY STALLED UNTIL I TRIED TO GIVE IT GAS AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AS I WAS GOING INTO TO A CURVE WITH CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND BEHIND. HAD TO FIGHT LIKE [XXX] TO TURN THE WHEEL AND USE THE BRAKES TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP. I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE WITH NO SUCCESS. IT KEPT TURNING OVER MAKING A "RU RUR RUR RUR RUR" SOUND WHICH WAS ACCOMPANIED BY THE SMELL OF WIRES BURNING AND A RED LIGHTNING BOLT THAT APPEARED ON THE DASH. TRIED TO START AGAIN, IT BECAME WORSE. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING YET. CALLED DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY COULD SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT, THEY RELUCTANTLY DECLINED TO DO SO IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE. THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED THAT IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. DODGE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ASAP. THIS [XXX] IS GOING TO GET SOMEBODY KILLED IF A RECALL IS NOT ISSUED. I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
DRIVING HOME AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE CAR KILLED ON ME MID-RUSH HOUR ON A VERY BUSY STREET BETWEEN 3:00PM TO 6:00PM OUT OF NO WHERE. I HAD HELP TO GET IT OFF THE MAIN ROAD AND ASKED FOR A JUMP START THE CAR STARTED UP AND TEN MINUTES INTO THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE CAR KILLED. CALLED A TOW MAN DUE TO THE RISK LEVEL OF NOT KNOWING WHEN THE CAR WILL KILL AGAIN AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WHERE IF I DID THE JUMP STARTED AGAIN. REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR/BATTERY BUT ISSUE REMAINS WITH BATTERY LIGHT COMING ON AND SHORTLY AFTER CAR KILLS. A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE IS THE REPLACED BATTERY ALLOWED CAR TO REMAIN DRIVEN LONGER BEFORE IT KILLS. BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON TWO TO FOUR MINUTES LATER CAR KILLS. (REPLACED BATTERY) BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON FIFTEEN/TWENTY MINUTES LATER CAR KILL.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2010 DODGE CHARGER WAS UNDER RECALL FOR TIMING CHAIN AND CHAIN GUIDE TENSIONER. WE TOOK IT TO A LICENSED GARAGE THAT'S BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR MANY YEARS. THEY SAID THEY ORDERED THE BIGGEST TIMING CHAIN. IT LASTED 6 MONTHS. WE WERE 7 HOURS FROM HOME ON OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY VACATION. WHEN THE CHAIN BROKE WE WERE DRIVING SO THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THE GARAGE SAID WE NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR OVER A MONTH BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIND AN ENGINE THAT WORKS TO THEIR SATISFACTION. SO, MY CAR IS ONLY 7 YRS OLD AND NOW I DON'T TRUST IT. WHY WAS THERE A RECALL IN THE FIRST PLACE? IS THE 3RD TIMING CHAIN GOING TO BRAKE ALSO? I WONDER WHAT'S REALLY WRONG WITH THIS CAR. BAD ENGINEERING?? I WOULD LOVE AN INVESTIGATION TO BE DONE IF POSSIBLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE GOING DOWN INTERSTATE 70 MILES AND HOUR LEFT LANE PASSING TRAFFIC, NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES. THANKFULLY A TRUCKER SAW MY DISTRESS AND LET ME OVER TO GET OFF INTERSTATE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND BODILY INJURY AS AIR BAGS WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED EITHER. WOULD NOT RESTART HAD TO HAVE TOWED, STARTER REPLACED, NOT THE ISSUE. UPON RESEARCH IT APPEARS THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH SEVERAL CHARGERS AND OTHER MODELS PRODUCED BY CHRYSLER. APPEARS TO BE A WIN MODULE ISSUE BUT NO RECALLS ONLY FOR THE T& C . WIN MODULE IS BEING REPLACED AT A HEARTY PRICE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO THIS SITUATION AS THE WIN MODULE IS BEING USED IN NEWER MODELS. AND THIS RANDOM SHUTTING OFF IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE PUT APPEARS TO JUST KEEP GETTING PUSHED ASIDE. WILL HAVE REPAIR BILLS AVAILABLE ONCE COMPLETED.
