In the last four months, my 2009 Dodge charger has stalled three times without warning. It doesn't sputter, then die. It just shuts down. The first two times, I was driving straight. This last time, 12/08/14, I was turning in a parking lot. I lost my power steering and my power breaks. I hit the concrete base of a light pole hard enough to blow out my front driver-side tire and bent the tie rod. There is quite a bit of damage to the front quarter panel, bumper and broke the headlight. Not to mention, it has given me whiplash. I have not seeked medical attention at this time, but I have had it before, and am quite certain I have it again. I am not certain as to why the airbag did not deploy??? I have read that this is a known issue, but there has not been a recall. I have seen ot

In august of 2011 I hit a large piece of semi tire tread. I realized before we returned home to iowa that I had no tail lights.in january 2012 I took my car into the dealership where I purchased it to find out why the car had such a bad shiny and the tail lights were not working. The frame was bent from the tire,the transmission also t some damage and of course the car was seriously out of alignment. When the car was returned the tail lights were working. About a year later I was pulled over and given a warning because my tail lights were not working. I took the car back to the dealership because of the tail lights. Once again they worked when I picked it up and I didn't think about it again. Then recently I was pulled over again, no tail lights and a warning. I made an appointment with t

I purchased this vehicle used in september 2010. The vehicle had a clean car fax report when I bought the vehicle. I drove the vehicle to work on saturday and back home saturday evening and parked the car in the driveway. When I went to start the car on monday to take my kids to school the car did not start. I had the car towed to an independent mechanic assuming it must have been the starter. To my dismay the mechanic told me I needed a complete valve job for $2,000.00 he told me to take the car to the dealer to see if the car was under warranty for engine failure cause it is no way a 2009 should need a this type of work this soon. He charged me $84.00 for his inspection fee and diagnosis. I had the car towed to Jeep /Chrysler Dodge dealership in ontario california where they told

The computer in the transmission is making my car jerk from 1st gear to 2nd gear. I have a lifetime power tran warranty yet they say that there is no "fix" for my car, basically I have to either drive it like it is or buy another one and I do not think that is fair for a loyal customer like myself. Every time I call, they manage to loose my lifetime warranty, this last time the customer service person told me I didn't get my transmission serviced for the 10 year mark, I told them I did in march when Dodge said it was due - he now tells me that I got it done too early to make my warranty valid. What kind of mess is that. I just want my car fixed yet Dodge is telling me that they are not going to provide a patch or even create one. When I drive, mainly early mornings, my car will do a har
