Consumer Description

ON OR ABOUT JUNE OF 2011 I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN GA, AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. AFTER CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURE. DODGE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THOMPSON DODGE IN THOMPSON GA. I WAS TOLD THERE BY THE HEAD MECHANIC THAT MY ENGINE SUFFERED A TOTAL CATASTROPHIC FAILURE . THEY ( MANUFACTURE) DECIDED TO REBUILD INSTEAD OF REPLACING MY ENGINE AS I HAD ASKED. THEN ON THURSDAY 11/22/2012 I WAS DRIVING (60-65 MPH) HOME TO NJ FROM TEXAS. AND THE ENGINE DID THE SAME THING. LEAVING ME STRANDED. AFTER THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A 2010 CHALLENGER WILL BREAK 2 CHAINS WITHIN 2 YEARS. THERE HAS TO BE A UNDERLYING CAUSE FOR THIS. PLEASE ADVISE ME AND RESPOND. I CAN BE REACHED AT [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*TR
