First, I received warning for "battery saver mode" on dashboard. Later in the day, I took car to dealership for a service visit and the car shut down right there. All lights went crazy and car put itself in neutral very violently. I am afraid of this car and what it may do if this were to happen at a higher speed. Once the car took over control, I could not shut it off, put it in gear, or anything else for that matter. Dealer says its simply a bad battery and I am very leery of the dealer's diagnosis at this point.

I was driving down the road at 15mph and the TPMS light and traction light flashed on the dash and than I started smelling smoke and hearing a loud high pitched noise, car stopped in middle of road creating a hazard, I got out quickly and popped the hood and smoke flew out of the alternator area. Took car in and Dodge is trying to charge $790 to fix this very common issue on the 3.6 2012 Dodge Charger SE.

While driving 35 mph, I smelled something burning. My battery light came on and the car shut down. I had it towed to the closest Dodge dealer. The dealership has reported that my alternator, serp belt & tensioner need to be replaced at a cost of $876!!!!! with all the other complaints that are very similar to mine, I feel a recall is in order!!!....updated 07/23/14

My car has been dyeing randomly since I purchased it. I have taken it back to the dealer and they can find no codes and wipe the computer. The first time it happened, I had only had the car for a week. It happens when I am driving and there is nothing that is knocking any components. It coasts to a stop and I am able to start it right back up. No lights come on. I am very afraid and the dealer clearly doesn't want to help.

I have a 2012 Dodge Charger rt hemi with 5.7L. The engine was damaged while driving through an intersection with about 5-6 inches of water left by a heavy rain. My husband was driving slow, following a procession of vehicles which all had successfully driven through. About 10 minutes later the engine started to make really loud noises. I had to call Dodge roadside assistance and they towed it to the nearest Dodge dealer. The dealer advised me the next day that on 2012 Dodge Chargers the air intake supply is located very low to the ground, where it allowed water to get pushed up and into the engine causing the engine failure. I feel that it should be covered by the warranty, because of a faulty design by the manufacturer. After speaking to some Dodge dealers about the problem, they thought that the repairs would be a covered under the manufacturers warranty. The repair had to be put through my insurance for about $8000 and I've had to pay a $500 deductible. I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences with water and engine failure after driving through rainwater. Thank you in advance.
