NHTSA Complaint #10633080 — 2011 DODGE CHARGER

AT FIRST MY CAR STARTED MAKING A WHINING TYPE OF SOUND IT SEEMED TO BE DRIVING A LITTLE BIT OFF. THEN AFTER DRIVING DOWN THE STREET I NOTICED THAT THE ABS LIGHT AND THE TRACTION LIGHT WAS ON, AND A BURNT ELECTRICAL WIRE SMELL WAS COMING THROUGH THE VENTS. SO I PULLED OVER AND PARKED AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. I OPENED THE HOOD AND THE SMELL OF BURNT WIRE WAS REALLY BAD. I DECIDED TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE WHERE I HAD PARKED IT, BUT WANTED TO ROLL UP THE WINDOWS. WHEN I WENT TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. SO LONG STORY SHORT MY RELATIVELY NEW CAR BROKE DOWN ON ME. AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2008 DODGE CHARGER THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUES. ITS REALLY A DISAPPOINTMENT BECAUSE THE WHOLE REASON I TRADED IN MY OLD CHARGER FOR A NEW ONE WAS BECAUSE I NEEDED A RELIABLE VEHICLE THAT I COULD DEPEND ON. AND THAT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A DODGE. *TR
