NHTSA Complaint #10730145 — 2012 DODGE CHARGER

DRIVING TO WORK WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE MESSAGE OF "BATTERY SAVER MODE" APPEARED ON MY MESSAGE SCREEN. AFTER THAT HAPPENED, I NOTICED A WHISTLING NOISE FOLLOWED BY THE RADIO GOING OUT AND AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED BLOWING. THEN ALL OF THE SENSORS STARTED GOING OFF IN THE DASHBOARD; TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, CHECK ENGINE, AND SEATBELT. I TRIED TO GIVE MY DODGE CHARGER 2012 SXT SOME GAS SO THAT I CAN GET OFF THE ROAD, BUT THAT CUASED THE RPM'S TO REV UP TO OVER 7 AND OTHER GAUGES DID THE SAME THING AT THE SAME TIME. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A GAS STATION SINCE THAT IS WHERE MY CHARGER COMPLETELY STOPPED!! NOTHING WOULD TURN ON AND CAR WASN'T MOVING!! AFTER CALLING FOR A TOW TRUCK, I LOOKED UP THESE ERRORS FOR 2012 DODGE CHARGERS AND THERE A LOT OF THEM!! THE ESTIMATE TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WAS OVER $800!!! WHO HAS THAT MONEY JUST LAYING AROUND FOR RAINY DAYS?!?!? DODGE KNOWS IT HAS THIS PROBLEM AS YOU CAN FIND THE RECALLS FOR IT, BIT ONLY IF THE VIN# MATCHES. OTHERWISE YOU PAY OUT OF YOUR OWN POCKET. I AM SO INFURIATED RIGHT NOW!! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLE AGAIN!! MY 2012 CHARGER ONLY HAS 57,000 MILES AND THE ALTERNATOR GOES!!! THIS IS NOT RIGHT NOR SHOULD IT BE ACCEPTED!!!
