NHTSA Complaint #10672185 — 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY DIED. I FIGURED IT WAS DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR RECALL. AFTER GETTING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS WATER IN THE INTAKE AND I MUST HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH HIGH WATER. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN THROUGH HIGH WATER. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 2013 DODGE CHALLENGERS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. HOW CAN WATER GET INTO A MOTOR FOR NO REASON AND CAUSE IT TO DIE AS YOU ARE DRIVING? IF YOU DRIVE WHEN IT IS RAINING OR IF YOU HIT A PUDDLE ON THE BLACKTOP IT IS GOING TO CAUSE YOUR CAR TO JUST DIE? IF WASN'T RAINING WHEN IT HAPPENED TO MINE AND THERE WAS NO WATER ON THE ROAD BUT IT HAD RAINED EARLIER IN THE DAY MAYBE 4 HOURS PRIOR TO THE CAR DYING. *TR
