Consumer Description

THE BATTERY, ENGINE, ABS, AIRBAG AND OTHER LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY. THE NEXT DAY SOMETHING KILLED THE NEW BATTERY. THE CAR STALLED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE NO HELP. I TOLD THEM OF THE RECALL ON THE 2013 CHALLENGERS FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. THEY STATED MINE WAS NOT RECALLED. THIS REPAIR COST ME OVER $1200 OUT OF POCKET. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. A DODGE VEHICLE TO ANYONE. BAD ALTERNATOR , WIRE HARNESS AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. TERRIBLE CAR AND SERVICE. CHRYSLER WAS NO HELP AT ALL. AS I HAVE SEARCHED, THERE ARE NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS/COMPLAINTS WITH THE 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER/ CHARGERS. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THOSE. *JB
