Consumer Description

I WAS HEADING TO WORK EARLY AM. HEADING DOWN THE FREEWAY, NOTICE THE BATTERY SAVE MODE ON THE DASH. BY THAT TIME THE RADIO SHUT OFF AND DIDN'T HAVE A/C, STARTED TO BLOW HOT AIR.I STARTED TO SMELL BURNING RUBBER. ALMOST DIDN'T MAKE IT OFF THE HIGH BEFORE THE CAR SHUT OFF. IT WAS HARD TO STEER, AND LOST BRAKES. ALMOST HITTING A COUPLE OF CARS. SO I LOOK UP WHAT BATTERY SAVE MODE WAS, THEN CHECK THE FORUMS. IT IS COMMON IN THE 2011-2012 CHARGERS. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. *TR
