ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN 30 DAYS THAT THE CHALLENGER R/T HAS SHUT OFF WHILE MAKING A TURN AT SPEEDS OF 25 MPH OR LESS. REFERENCE ODI ID # 10421234 / INCIDENT DATE OF 08/19/2011. WIFE WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN OFF OF A BUSY STREET (40 MPH SPEED LIMIT, INTO MY HOME NEIGHBORHOOD) WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY DIES, STEERING & BRAKES GO HARD, OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATES, AND SHE HAD TO COAST TO A STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, PRESS THE START BUTTON (EVEN THOUGH DASH MESSAGE SAID "KEY FOB NOT FOUND"), CAR RE-STARTS, AND SHE CONTINUED 1/2 MILE TO OUR HOME. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE LETTING MY WIFE OR KIDS DRIVE THIS CAR WHEN THE PROBABILITY OF IT DYING IS VERY POSSIBLE. I JUST DROVE THE CAR UP THE NARROW MOUNTAIN PASSES TO BIG BEAR, CA (8,000 FT ELEVATION) & BACK 3 DAYS AGO, AND THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF IT HAD DIED AND I HAD LOST CONTROL ON A WINDY MOUNTAIN ROAD. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR DIE BEFORE SOMEONE FORCES DODGE / CHRYSLER TO IDENTIFY & CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. CAR IS GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW MORNING, WHERE I EXPECT TO GET ALOT OF NOTHING, BUT ATLEAST MY COMPLAINTS WILL BE INTERRED INTO THE SERVICE SYSTEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER BATTERY AND CABLES RECALL PERFORMED AND NEW KEY FOBS PROGRAMMED DUE TO "NO KEY FOB PRESENT" ,CAR WOULD INTERMITTENTLY START. PUSH BUTTON OR FOB IN DASH, MADE NO DIFFERENCE. CAR WOULD "THUNK" OR "START AND IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF" AND FINALLY THE SAFETY ISSUE THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING NO MATTER WHAT THE SPEED! ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULD COME ON BUT THE ENGINE WOULD BE DEAD. IT DIED ON ME COMING UP A STEEP HILL MERGE LANE, MAKING TURNS, ON THE HIGHWAY, EVEN IN MY OWN DRIVEWAY. HAD THE CAR TO MY PURCHASE DEALER TWICE AND THEY COULDN'T FIND WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. FINALLY TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO FOUND THE PROBLEM WITHIN AN HOUR. THE WIN MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED AND UPDATES FLASHED TO THE COMPUTER. I'M TOLD CHRYSLER APPEARED AT THIS DEALER WHILE MY CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE AND THAT THEY PERSONALLY CHECKED IT OVER, RE-DOING SOME OF THE THINGS THE DEALER PERFORMED. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING! SHAME I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. SHAME ON CHRYSLER/DODGE. IT APPEARS FROM READING OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM! *TR
