I was driving on the parkway approx. 60mph, the breaks felt like they were slowing down the car without being pressed. The warning lights were also going off and on. On the second road, I was going 40mph when the fuel light suddenly came on, but my gas tank was half full. The needle on the car tank went to empty then the car just shut off in the middle of the road. I managed to steer it to the side, and it restarted again.
1 solution 2008 dodge charger the esp/bas light comes on when I make a left turn and stays on for a while and the resets. This is a re-occurring issue. Was told by dodge that steering column may have to be repaired. (was this a recall for dodge?). The car seems to be difficult to steer due to the car being very "loose" and feels as if the car is not aligned but recently had new alignment done. Also, left rear driver's side door lock will not work. The window works fine but the door lock has stopped functioning. Have had issues with rotors since I purchased the car with only 17 miles on it. Rotors replaced several times and was even told that the rotors were warped in factor installation.

I bought a 2008 dodge charger in march of '08. The front brakes were squeaking, one week after buying the car. The front end of the car and steering wheel would also shake and vibrate. I returned to the dealer to inform them of the problem and they kept the car for a few days. I returned to pick the car up after they called me to tell me they had fixed it. I asked them what work they did and they told me that they "cleaned" the pads. Needless to say, the brakes were still squeaking as I was driving the car off the lot. The car also continued to shake when applying the brakes. I returned shortly after to have them try and fix it again. This time I was told that the brakes for 2008 chargers "suck" and that I would need to buy aftermarket rotors and pads. I bought the parts and returned to the dealer to have them install them. One week later, they were squeaking again. This is a very common problem with 2008 chargers as I've found by reading numerous forums on the internet.
