We just purchased a 2008dodge Charger and we were driving and the car started shaking extremely bad and idel rough and started loosing power. We also have had a lot of problems with the ac and also the dash buckle above the radio.
I purchased this car on August 4 2008. Initially, when I test drove the vehicle, the car would mildly vibrate on a complete stop. I told the sales representative about the problem and we both agreed it might have been a minor issue. He stated the problem will be corrected prior to purchasing the vehicle. I did not think nothing of the issue. The day I purchased the vehicle the sales representative stated that the problem was corrected through the maintenance department. One week later, the check engine lighted up on a Saturday morning prior to me going to work. I drove to work with the light on with no others problems. After arriving at work, I called the dealership requesting a appointment at earliest Tuesday morning. On that Tuesday morning, the maintenance representative suggested that the engine sensor revealed " flex plate" also that I should leave the vehicle with him for arrival of the part the following day. I agreed and waited for two days. On Friday morning, August 15 2008, I picked up my vehicle under the assumption everything was okay. After signing the maintenance invoice, I noticed the technical name of the problem was a "flywheel. " I felt a little misled. Later, that afternoon, the check engine flickered on and off for a few minutes and the vehicle started vibrating very hard when stopping or slowing down.
