| 2006 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER, IT DIED AS I WAS TURNING. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON ME COMPLETELY. I TOOK IT IN TO OUR LOCAL DODGE SERVICE CENTER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. A MONTH AND A HALF LATER THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS, THIS TIME WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ON OUR LOCAL HIGHWAY. WE HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE SAME DODGE SERVICE CENTER AND THEY STILL CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING ON LINE AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE VEHICLES. IF THEY DO NOT FIX THIS AND THIS CAUSES AN ACCIDENT WHICH INJURES ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS I WILL BE SUING DODGE! THIS WILL TURN INTO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. *KB |
