Tl the contact owns a 2010 Dodge Charger. While operating the vehicle, the engine suddenly shut off. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the alternator and the starter, but the failure continued. Thomas Dodge (9604 indianapolis blvd, highland, in) was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 100,000.
Car shut off on me while going down interstate 70 miles and hour left lane passing traffic, no power steering, brakes. Thankfully a trucker saw my distress and let me over to get off interstate. This could have caused serious accident and bodily injury as air bags would not have deployed either. Would not restart had to have towed, starter replaced, not the issue. Upon research it appears this has happened with several Chargers and other models produced by Chrysler. Appears to be a win module issue but no recalls only for the t& c . Win module is being replaced at a hearty price. Something needs to be looked into this situation as the win module is being used in newer models. And this random shutting off is a huge safety issue put appears to just keep getting pushed aside. Will have repair bills available once completed.
Had my first problem with my 2010 Dodge Charger r/t ~ 6k miles on the clock. Driving down the road in ~ 5 degree f temps - the car was fully warmed up and it was around 9am in the morning, the car suddenly died, with all the error indicators coming on. Luckily I was able to get off to the side of the road as power steering and braking went out. I stopped the car, checked under the hood for some sort of visiable damage. Seeing none & checking the oil level - I went to restart and found that the car wouldn't turn over. Double checked I was in park, everything was squared away - took the key out - put it back in, turned - and heard a single ingition - like one coil went off - then stopped. Tried it again, wouldn't turn over. So I call Dodge roadside for a tow and sit there for 10 minutes. While waiting I decided to then try it again, then magically the starter actually goes and it turns over. I was maybe 5 miles away from the dealership - so I took it straight there where they took a look at it. For whatever reason, they were unable to duplicate the problem nor tell me why it occured or how I can prevent this from happening in the future.
