The vehicle tends to fail electrically when driving. All dashboard indicator lights go on, power steering and power brakes seem to fail, lights go out and wipers stop functioning. I've been caught in the rain at night on more than one occasion and suddenly without lights, wipers, the ability to check my speed direction etc. I believe there's an outstanding recall to address this 14v-567 but according to the manufacturer the new part hasn't been made yet and isn't expected until mid-2015. This is dangerously unacceptable. *tr

I was driving when the car suddenly stalled out. A few months later there was a recall notice for a faulty ignition switch. A couple of months after that, the car suddenly lost power as I was driving down the road. I took it to the repair shop, and they still can't figure out what the problem is. I'm requesting a loaner vehicle until the recall problem is fixed, before an accident happens. *tr

My 2008 Dodge charger will lose a/c, radio, turn signals and power steering while driving and sometimes stall out completely when this happens while driving. Have taken it to dealer 10 times for same problem - dealer has replaced steering column module 3 times but I am still having same problem. This started happening in may 2010 then more frequent in november 2010 and just happened again yesterday (12-15-2010). Dealer placed flight recorder in vehicle and while I was driving with that installed I lost a/c, radio and turn signals. Dealer could not figure out the problem so they sent results from flight recorder to Chrysler - as of today I still have not heard back from the dealer. Needless to say I am feeling very uncomfortable driving this car (especially with my children inside) not

On christmas eve, december 24th 2012 at approximately 1:45 in the afternoon I was driving my 2008 Dodge charger on a busy intersection when all of a sudden I heard a loud banging noise from my engine compartment. After I heard the loud noise, my 2008 Dodge charger immediately stopped and shut off in the middle of the busy intersection nearly causing a chain reaction multicar accident. A local police offer came to the scene and helped direct traffic until I was able to physically push my car out of heavy traffic. Once I was able to look under the hood I noticed a lot of coolant pouring to the ground. I also notice that there was no coolant in the coolant department. I contacted the local Dodge dealership, but unfortunately they were closed due to the holidays. Lucky I was able to bring my 2

Passenger side fuel pump faulty, leakes gas into the car cabin making it smell like fuel after filling up the car until its down to about 3/4 of a tank.

I was driving on the parkway approx. 60mph, the breaks felt like they were slowing down the car without being pressed. The warning lights were also going off and on. On the second road, I was going 40mph when the fuel light suddenly came on, but my gas tank was half full. The needle on the car tank went to empty then the car just shut off in the middle of the road. I managed to steer it to the side, and it restarted again. *tr
