NHTSA Complaint #10640116 — 2011 DODGE CHARGER

STARTED DRIVING MY VEHICLE FROM WORK. WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY WHOLE DASHBOARD LITE UP WITH THE "ABS LIGHT, POWER SAVER MODE, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OVER THE VEHICLE MY RADIO POWER OFF AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A "WHINING" NOISE. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF BY ITSELF. I POP THE HOOD AND WHILE RAISING THE HOOD WHITE SMOKE APPEARED AND I COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. MY SISTER WAS PRESENT THE WHOLE TIME SHE WAS TAILGATING ME IN HER VEHICLE. LET THE CAR COOL DOWN AND TRIED TO RESTART IT AND THE WHINING NOISE GREW LOUDER AND UPON STARTING IT SEEM AS IF IT DID NOT WANT TO START UP BUT THE DASHBOARD WAS NOT LITE UP ONLY THE MESSAGE ON THE DASH ABOUT BEING IN "POWER SAVE MODE". THIS WAS A SCARY SITUATION FOR ME AND I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN. MY SISTER GAVE ME A RIDE HOME. I HAVE CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. *TR
