Challenger

  • 35,973 miles
While making a slow right turn at approximately 25 mph my vehicle stalled. The engine completely died and the oil light came on. The steering and brakes also did not function. I had to restart the car to regain control. It started back up right away as if nothing happened. Although I do not remember the exact dates this has happened to me about 4 previous times. The dealership has no answers and they assume nothing is wrong because it doesn't show up on their diagnostic computer. If someone had been behind me or in front of me there would have been an accident. Eventually, there likely will be. A recall needs to be issued on this problem and a solution must be found asap. According to numerous reports, this has happened repeatedly with 2010 Dodge Challengers.

Challenger 8-cyl

  • 11,600 miles
This vibration began approx. 3 months ago. It is transmitted from the front brakes to the steering wheel primarily between 45-35 mph. It is less evident at speeds below that, but still occurs. Called my local Dodge dealer expecting this to be a warranted repair (11600 miles) and was told this is a wearable item I.e: wiper blades, tires, etc. I was surprised to say the least. This type of issue is well documented on various websites and regulatory action should be taken. This is a serious problem regarding one's ability to stop a two ton vehicle safely.
