FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
5 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING A BRAND NEW CHALLENGER, WHILE ON THE WAY TO WORK THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ABOUT 2 MINUTES AFTER THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE IN THE CARPOOL LANE GOING BOUT 63 MILES/HR. THE CAR WAS READING ABOUT 200 MILES TO EMPTY. THE FUEL SENSORS /PUMPS WERE NOT WORKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. AT IDLE IT RUNS ROUGH, WAS COMPARED TO LIKE VEHICLE THE IDLE IS NOT CORRECT. THE MILEAGE PER GALLON IS WAY UNDER THE ADVERTISED. ADVERTISED FUEL ECONOMY SHOWING 21 MPG COMBINED CITY/HWY. WE GET ABOUT 16 MPG CITY/HWY. WE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND NO ONE IS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUES AS THE CAR SEEMS TO BE A LEMON. WE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES NOW. WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW CAR SO THAT WE WOULDN'T HAVE ISSUES. VERY UPSET, FRUSTRATED, UNHAPPY. *TR
