NHTSA Complaint #10614806 — 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER

MY FIANCE AND I WERE LEAVING A STORE WHEN ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR STARTED FLASHING AND THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A WEIRD HUMMING SOUND AND THEN THE CAR DIED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN! I HAD TO PAY A TOW TRUCK TO COME OUT AND PICK IT UP AND TAKE IT IN TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. WAS WITHOUT MY CAR FOR ALMOST A MONTH BECAUSE I HAD TO SLOWLY PAY THE DEALERSHIP $600 THAT I DID NOT HAVE. THEN THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T EVEN MENTION THE BATTERY WAS PROBABLY GONNA DIE SO A WEEK LATER AFTER I FINALLY GOT MY CAR BACK, I GO OUT AND IT WON'T START AGAIN! SO THEN I HAD TO SPEND ALMOST ANOTHER $200 ON A BRAND NEW BATTERY. I AM JUST COMPLETELY OFFENDED THAT THIS A HUGE AND MASSIVELY COMMON PROBLEM AND DODGE HASN'T EVEN TRIED TO FIX IT! I LOVE MY CHALLENGER BUT I WAS SO EXASPERATED WITH ALL THE BS THAT I WAS READY TO TAKE IT BACK TO WHERE I BOUGHT IT A YEAR AGO AND GIVE IT BACK. DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND COMPENSATE ALL OF US WHO HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS MESS! LUCKILY FOR THEM THEREHAVEN'T BEEN ANY FATALITIES CONNECTED WITH THIS PROBLEM! *TR
