NHTSA Complaint #10475759 — 2007 DODGE CHARGER

I WAS DRIVING HOME ALONG WITH MY WIFE FROM RUNNING ERRANDS WHEN MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPHS PER HOUR. I CALLED AAA TO COME AND TOW MY VEHICLE. THEY DID JUST THAT AND THE SERVICE-CONTRACTED TOWING COMPANY FOR AAA DROPPED MY DODGE CHARGER RT OFF TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP THAT I'M ACCUSTOMED TO GOING. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED HEAVILY FROM THE ENGINE PROBLEM. SO HE TOOK OUT THE OLD BATTERY I HAD AND PUT IN A NEW BATTERY. ONCE HE DID THAT HE TRIED TO GET THE DODGE CHARGER RT TO START BUT THERE WAS NO LUCK. BUT EVENTUALLY SOME ELECTRICAL POWER WAS RESTORED TO A LEVEL IN ORDER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO BE PERFORMED. ONCE THIS MECHANIC COMPLETED THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST HE TOLD ME THAT THE CODES HE RECEIVED ARE IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2007 MODEL OF THE DODGE CHARGER RT. HE TOLD ME THAT THE 2007 MODEL FOR THIS VEHICLE HAD THE MOST RECALL PROBLEMS FOR THE ISSUE THAT I EXPERIENCED WHICH WERE ENGINE PROBLEMS. HE SAID THAT THE ENGINE PROBLEMS WERE THE SECOND MOST RECALLED ISSUE AFTER THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOR THIS VEHICLE. HE TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO INVESTIGATE ABOUT GETTING A RECALL COMPLAINT MADE FOR THIS VEHICLE WITH THE MANUFACTURER (DODGE), BECAUSE THE ENGINE PROBLEM JUSTIFIED THE SAME RECALL ISSUES THAT PREVIOUS OWNERS HAD WITH THE MODEL AND YEAR OF THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR
