Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2009 Dodge Challenger

My car lost complete power while turning in a residential area. The vehicle is dead and will not start. The vehicle shut down with no warning. This has happen several times. The local Dodge dealer had it 2 weeks an could not determine why.

My husband who is a state trooper was driving my car to home depot. He had trouble keeping it started in our driveway. Once he got out onto the road it was fine until he let off the gas. The car shut off completely. He coasted to the side of the road almost getting rear ended. He cranked it back up and this happened 2 more times on his way to home depot and back. He said everytime the engine would just shut down. We called Dodge and they claim there has been no reports of this.

There seems to be issues with the 5. 7 ltr Dodge engines failing at highway speeds. My first occurrence was sept. 8th, 2011 with 33,358 miles on engine, my second occurrence was on Feb 01, 20122 with 43,872 and my third occurrence was Aug 9, 2012 with 59,600 miles. Timing chains failure on all occurrences and this is happening to more and more 2009-2010 Dodge Challengers with automatic transmissions. My concern is that these occurrences are happening at highway speeds greater then 65 mph and eventually will cause serious harm and or death when car shuts down in the middle of rush hour traffic on interstates. This will be my third new engine total of four that will be put in this car with no upgraded parts to prevent these failures. All they keep doing is putting them back together with the same parts that are failing. Something needs to be done to correct these problems before some one gets seriously hurt or killed! I can provide more info on a number of Challenger that are having these same failures if you request it.
