NHTSA Complaint #10618305 — 2011 DODGE CHARGER

I THANKFULLY WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT WHEN MY RADIO, ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL SHUT OFF. AFTER THAT THE CAR SHUT IT SELF OFF. I GOT IT TO STOP SAFELY. I THAN TRIED TO USE JUMPER CABLES AND COULD NOT GET IT TO START. I THAN PAID TO HAVE IT TOWED ($85) TO A DEALERSHIP. THEY CHARGED ME ($100) TO SCAN THE COMPUTER AND TOLD ME IT WAS JUST A DEAD BATTERY. BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY ($170) HAD THEM INSTALL IT. NEXT DAY IT DOES THE SAME THING. THANKFULLY MADE IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND THEY GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND. SO I GOT IT TO SOMEWHERE THAT KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. YOU WOULD THINK A DEALERSHIP WOULD. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $480 JUST FOR THE ALTERNATOR WHICH IS CRAZY. NO STORE CARRIED IT. TOOK ME AND THEM OVER 2 WEEKS TO FIND ONE. SO AFTER PARTS AND LABOR AND TOWING A NEW ALTERNATOR ALMOST MADE ME WRECK AND COST ME ALMOST $1000. UNACCEPTABLE!!! *TR
