NHTSA Complaint #10897033 — 2011 DODGE CHARGER

8/12/16 DRIVING WITH MY FIANCE AND BABY GIRL NEAR HOME I NOTICED THE BATTERY SAVING MODE WARNING, NOT LONG AFTER NAVIGATION AND RADIO SHUT OFF FEARING THE WORST I BEGAN TO HEAD BACK HOME THROUGH SMALL STREETS WHERE LESS CIVILIANS AND MOVING CARS. ENGINE ROARING LIKE IF IT WAS TRYING TO FIGHT TO GET EVERY LAST DROP OF THE BATTERIES POWER. AS I WAS ENTERING THE GATE TO MY HOME THE CAR OFFICIALLY GAVE UP AND ALL THE POWER COMPLETELY DIED. I COULDN'T BRAKE NOR TURN THE WHEEL WITHOUT GIVING IT MY WHOLE BODY WEIGHT AND PRESSURE TO PREVENT IT FROM GOING HEAD ON INTO SOMEONES HOME. MY FIANCE EVEN HAD TROUBLE UNLOCKING THE DOORS WITHIN THE CAR TO JUMP OUT AND HELP IN WHATEVER WAY HE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO HELP. AND THIS WAS GOING ON WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. THANKFULLY NO COLLISION OCCURRED THANKS TO MY QUICK THINKING AND LUCK. HOPING IT WAS ONLY THE BATTERY THAT WAS THE PROBLEM I GOT IT COMPLETELY RE-CHARGED. WHEN I RECONNECTED IT I NOTICED ALL LIGHTS TURNING ON THINKING PROBLEM SOLVED, NEVERTHELESS IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND SMOKING UP. QUICKLY TURNING IT OFF I RESEARCHED THAT A RECALL P60 FOR MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR ARE AVAILABLE FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR BUT SADLY NOT MY ENGINE AND ALTERNATOR POWER WTH. 4YRS 37307 MILES ON MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER R/T MOPAR EDITION 5.7L V8 HEMI ON TIME WITH MAINTENANCE AND PAYMENTS WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME!! I CANT AFFORD PAYING ANYTHING EXTRA OTHER THAN WHAT I SIGNED UP TO PAY I THOUGHT NEW CAR NO PROBLEMS IM SO WRONG I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR SO MANY MANY RECALLS NOT INCLUDING WHEN I TRIED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS IT WAS GIVING ME BEFORE I EVEN RECEIVED NOTICE THAT A RECALL WAS AVAILABLE FOR THE PROBLEM, AND NOW THIS! THE ALTERNATOR IS FRIED AND THE RADIATOR WILL BE NEXT I KNOW BECAUSE AN ENGINE IS LIKE OUR ANATOMY ONE AFFECTED PART SOON AFFECTS THE NEXT PART THAT MAKES THE OTHER FUNCTION. HOPEFULLY IM WRONG.
