Got rear ended day later hears a winding noise and engine light came on then Battery light came on. When driving next day all lights on dash board came on and car died. Thought was battery changed it then restarted car. Next day bring to get diagnosed and said altnator was testing bad so had that replaced but Battery light stayed on. Took to collision center dodge and they said pcm was bad so had that replaced. The mechanic stated common problem when altnator dies it burns up the pm module. So I had to wait 2 months for it to get replaced and now changed still the check engine lights and battery light is on.

2010 police charger fobik started falling out of ignition.. problem continues dealership says no big deal eventually the day came when I tried to turn the car off and I couldn't switch will no longer turn to the off position... Every time I want to turn the car off I have to pop the hood pull a fuse then get in the trunk and disconnect the battery. I went online did a recall search and found that I have no open recalls however I found hundreds if not thousands of people are having this same issue... Dealership said it was on me... I found online a recall notice k08 on cars built between Jan and March with this issue have a recall mines built in Feb but the vin number shows no recall wtf... Plugged in my scan tool which knows my vin and showed me the same recall notice on cars built at that time and on the notice it just has build dates nothin about vin numbers... Goin back to the dealership Monday.. this is an absolutely ludicrous situation that is potentially fatal that Chrysler needs to address!

WHILE DRIVING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME, THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND I LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I PRESSED THE GAS REPEATEDLY AND NOTHING HAPPENED. CARS BEHIND ME WERE BLOWING BUT THERE WASN'T MUCH I COULD DO. THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN ANYWAY SO I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND THEY WORKED SO I STRUGGLED LIKE CRAZY TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR INTO A CHURCH DRIVEWAY. THANK GOD THE BRAKES WORKED OR IT COULD'VE BEEN UGLY. I TRIED STARTING THE CAR BUT IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING BUT ACT LIKE IT WANTED TO START. IT WASN'T A CLICKING IT WAS MORE LIKE A WINDING NOISE LIKE A RUUU RUUU RUUU. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT MADE THE SAME NOISE BUT IT SOUNDED WORSE. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOME BECAUSE THERE WASN'T A REPAIR SHOP OPENED THAT LATE. I'M GOING TO CALL A MECHANIC TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE MIGHT BE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. IT HAPPENED TWO IN APRIL AND THREE TIMES IN MAY OF THIS YEAR BUT IT STARTED BACK UP. I WASN'T SO LUCKY THIS TIME. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY AND I HAD NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE DOING THAT. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND IT WAS PLACED ON A MACHINE AND NO CODES WOULD SHOW UP BUT THE GUY RECOMMENDED I REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY, AND I DID. DODGE REALLY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ASAP. THIS [XXX] IS RIDICULOUS. IT HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND ON THE HIGHWAY. HOPEFULLY THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER OR SOMEONE IN A REALLY HIGH TRAFFIC AREA BECAUSE SOMEONE COULD GET INJURED OR KILLED. I GUESS THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE WAITING ON TO FIX THE PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

RECENTLY I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND NOW THE CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED SOME TYPE OF MODULE THAT READS THE KEYS, FIRST THEY STATED THE FUSE BOX IN THE TRUNK WAS THE PROBLEM. THEY INSTALLED A NEW FUSE BOX AND THEY THEN STATED THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. NEXT IS WHEN THEY REPLACED THE MODULE THAT READS THE KEYS, AND THEN THEY STATED THAT ALL THE FUSES WERE BLOWN AND THERE HAD TO BE A POWER SURGE THERE WAS NOT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DIDN'T SEE THE BLOWN FUSES WHEN THEY STARTED THIS WHOLE PROCESS. ALSO, THEY STATED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON 2010 DODGE CHARGERS WITH THE MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE KEYS HOWEVER MY CAR WAS 10 DAYS OUTSIDE OF THE BUILD DATE TO QUALIFY. WHAT IS GOING AND WHY WOULD MY CAR BE OUTSIDE THE BUILD DATE? THEY STATED THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS NOW. THE OFFICIAL DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS MY CAR AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS.
