Accelerating on highway at around 45mph my Dodge Charger gave a small spurt of powder then immediately after i lost complete power and shut down. I had to move to shoulder of highway where i turned the key to off position and took key out. I tried to restart the car and it wouldnt even try turning over. The cluster lights of PRND38 (ive never seen an 8 on there before)… showed up with boxes around each letter which was not normal along with the lightning bolt light and battery light. We changed new charged battery still no turn over. Tried to connect a snap on code scanner and it wouldn’t link. I also changed throttle pedal as well as throttle body because the lightning bolb light was on When can shut down while driving it.

Car has always had chrysler recall p57. Ignition intermittently would stick on start causing the engine to continuously crank but not start. Car would intermittently turn off while driving causing loss of power steering and brakes. Would resume normally when restarted. Is occurring more and more and my wife almost wrecked yesterday because of loss of power steering. I am told recall only covers chargers built between may 24, 2007, to may 12, 2008. My wife's was built on july 3, 2008. Researching online it is not isolated to our car. I feel this recall needs to be expanded to other 2008 chargers with the same symptoms.
