NHTSA Complaint #10669323 — 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER

I NEARLY WAS KILLED TODAY GETTING OFF HIGHWAY I-10 WHEN MY ENTIRE CAR SHUT DOWN. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED ABS, ESP, BAS, TRACTION LIGHTING ALL CAME ON - POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK- COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITH NO RECOURSE FINALLY COASTED TO PARK IN THE GARAGE CLOSE BY ON A DOWNHILL EXIT. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO FIND AN EXIT TO THE PARKING LOT AND LITERALLY COASTED IN WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR ANY ELECTRICAL AND WAS AFRAID THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK TO EVEN STOP THE CAR. FORTUNATELY, IT COASTED AND STOPPED. PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED AN ALTERNATOR RECALL NOTICE FROM DODGE, BUT WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS VEHICLE. I HAD NO IDEA THAT MEANT MY ENTIRE CAR WOULD DIE ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO EVEN STEER. *JS
