NHTSA Complaint #10670188 — 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER

DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH, THE ABS AND TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON AT FIRST. ATTEMPTING TO GET HOME WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN EVERYTHING STARTED SHUTTING DOWN; FIRST THE RADIO THEN THE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH BEGAN TO BLINK AND THEN WENT OUT. THE VEHICLE THEN COMPLETELY DIED; WHEN I NOTICED THE ISSUES I SWITCHED THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL SO I COULD GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I THEN HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER SHIP THEN TOOK 5 DAYS TO REPAIR SAID VEHICLE AS THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED WAS ON "BACKORDER". DUE TO THE FACT IT IS "A 3 HOUR REPAIR" PER THE WARRANTY A RENTAL CAR WAS NOT COVERED AND I WAS WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR 5 DAYS. AND THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT, IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY; THANK GOD I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR
