3 Battery problem of the 2009 Dodge Challenger

Failure Date: 06/01/2011

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!.
