NHTSA Complaint #10692956 — 2009 DODGE CHARGER

WITHIN THE LAST MONTH THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO START, THEN WHILE DRIVING IT SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, COMPLETELY STOPS RUNNING. THEN IT IS HARD TO STEER AND HAS NO BRAKES. THIS IS FRIGHTENING AND HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. THE SERVICE DEPT AT THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED AND SCANNED FOR CODES AND TESTED FUEL PRESSURE AND FOUND PRESSURE WAS GOOD AND FOUND NO CODES. THEY INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY AND CLEANED THE THROTTLE. THE VEHICLE STARTED AND RAN WELL FOR ONE WEEK, USING IT FOR SHORT TRIPS TO THE STORE. HOWEVER, USING IT TO GO 20 MILES AWAY, THE ABOVE PROBLEM SHOWED UP AGAIN. AT THE TOP OF A HILL THE CAR ENGINE STOPPED, GOING 30 MPH GOING DOWN THE HILL. NO BRAKES, NO STEERING, AND LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT!!! THIS IF VERY FRIGHTENING!!! THIS VEHICLE IS GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON WED, MAR. 11, 2015. THIS 2009 VEHICLE, ACCORDING TO YOUR WEBSITE, HAS HAD THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM SINCE 2010. THIS IS HAZARDOUS AND SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR RECALL. *TR
