Consumer Description
ON DEC. 17 2015 BATTERY INDICATOR CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON FREDRICK IN ST JOSEPH MO THEN SHORTLY AFTER VOLTAGE LIGHT AND AIR BAG LIGHT CAME CAR LOST STEERING CONTROL AND POWER DRIVING HAD TO COAST CAR INTO PARKING LOT. TOWED CAR TO FIRESTONE CHANGED BATTERY LEFT FIRESTONE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN TOOK IT TO DODGE DEALER THEY DIAGNOSED AND SAID IT WAS THE PCM REGULATOR THAT CHARGES THE BATTERY WAS BAD. PCM IS BACK ORDERED OVER A HUNDRED UNITS. I'VE BEEN CHARGING CAR AT NIGHT FOR THE LAST 30 DAYS SO I COULD STILL USE CAR DUE TO DEALER NOT ABLE TO GIVE LOANER BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO WHEN THE PART WILL BE IN TO FIX CAR ISSUE. I FEAR THAT THIS IS A SAFETY RISK BECAUSE AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING THE CAR MAY LOOSE VOLTAGE AND I WILL LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR I HAVE.
