Tl- the contact owns a 2008 Dodge Charger. The vehicle stated that the vehiclewould periodically fail to start intermittently upon turning the key in the ignition. In addition, while on a curve in a roadway the vehicle suddenly stalled and turned back on. The dealer (mark Dodge, 3777 gerstner memorial blvd, lake charles, la 70607, (337) 474-2640) was notified but scheduled an appointment mid December 2017 which was an unreasonable time frame for the contact. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for inspection, diagnosis and repair. The vehicle had been unable to be driven since it was serviced by an independent mechanic so the contact was uncertain as to when the vehicle may be repaired. The independent mechanic also serviced an electrical recall without the contact knowing until the repair was completed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 128,000. Dyd.
If the ignition stays between "start" and "on" positions it could cause loss of certain electrical functions. If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the "off" or "accessory" position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

My battery exploded. This was the original battery I bought the car with when I bought the car brand new. I got in my car, turned the key and heard a huge explosion. The concussion from the explosion actually moved my shirt. The battery had exploded in the trunk. Nothing has been added to the electrical system. I baby this car and take it in every 3 thousand miles for maintenance. The battery was in pieces and battery acid was everywhere. If I was standing by the trunk with it opened I would've been badly harmed.
My wife was driving on the freeway and all of a sudden her gauge cluster was acting erratically and all the car odometer lights all came on and the vehicle shut off on the freeway and everything locked up, she couldn't move the wheel or the gear shifter and she smelled a burning smell with smoke coming from the engine . Luckily her parents were behind her in another vehicle and was able to help out but this is very dangerous and I have seen numerous reports of Dodge Charger having this same issue.
My car electronic throttle light keeps coming on along with my traction light. It started doing it once every other month. Then every month. And now 2-5 times a week.

My car will occasionally randomly turn off while I'm driving. This is extremely dangerous in the middle of traffic especially during rush hour because I have to cross lanes of traffic and pull over with absolutely no power which also means no air bags! on top of that my key rarely comes out of the ignition when I turn the car off so I have to leave my car unlocked with the key in it.
