In August 2015, my car would not start so I had to replace the ignition module and purchase a new key ($1000). On October 30, 2015, I was driving on the highway at night in the rain when my car just shut off. I was not able to steer at all but I managed to pull off the road. Everything else in the car worked (lights, radio, everything on the panel) the only thing that did not work was the car. My car will not start back up. I had to tow the car back to the dealership. How could something like this happen when I replaced the ignition module that seems to be the cause of this problem? I am very lucky we were not involved in a terrible accident or even cause a death.

I was driving my 2009 Dodge Charger about a year ago and the car just cut off while going down the road. I was able to pull over (lucky I avoided causing an accident) and it restarted with no problem. I have had no other problems until a month ago I came out of the mall to go home and the car would not start. Finally after 10 minutes of trying and praying, the car started right up and got me home which was about 50 miles away. It would not start again after that. I have replaced the battery and many fuses. The car started one time when we first replaced the battery but as soon as I turned it off it would not start again. We figured out how to start the car one more time to get it to the Dodge dealership. I am having to replace the ignition module and purchase a new key. I am looking at a $960. 00 bill. There was a recall on this exact part for the manufacture date of may 2007 - may 2008. My car was manufactured August 2008. I believe this faulty part was also used on my car. After reading all the complaints for this year model, we should be included in a recall. $960. 00 just to replace a key!!!!.
