Got rear ended day later hears a winding noise and engine light came on then Battery light came on. When driving next day all lights on dash board came on and car died. Thought was battery changed it then restarted car. Next day bring to get diagnosed and said altnator was testing bad so had that replaced but Battery light stayed on. Took to collision center dodge and they said pcm was bad so had that replaced. The mechanic stated common problem when altnator dies it burns up the pm module. So I had to wait 2 months for it to get replaced and now changed still the check engine lights and battery light is on.

There's a open recall for my 2010 dodge charger r/t & I took it to cueter chrysler dodge jeep ram. They had it for 8 days & had not touched the car since I dropped it off. They said they were waiting on parts now it's been 16 days & have not gotten any word back. What am I supposed to do. The recalls are for the passenger airbag & the engine timing chain which is very serious in my opinion but must not be to them.

While driving on a 2 lane highway with traffic behind me, the car shuts down and I lose power while driving. The steering wheel locked up making it very difficult to turn. I pressed the gas repeatedly and nothing happened. Cars behind me were blowing but there wasn't much I could do. The car was slowing down anyway so I pressed the brake and they worked so I struggled like crazy to turn the steering wheel and was able to put the car into a church driveway. Thank god the brakes worked or it could've been ugly. I tried starting the car but it wouldn't do anything but act like it wanted to start. It wasn't a clicking it was more like a winding noise like a ruuu ruuu ruuu. I tried to start it again and it made the same noise but it sounded worse. I had to have the car towed to my home because there wasn't a repair shop opened that late. I'm going to call a mechanic to see what the issue might be. This is not the first time this has happened to me. It happened two in april and three times in may of this year but it started back up. I wasn't so lucky this time. The last time it happened I replaced the alternator and the battery and I had not had any problems since doing that. I took it in to have it checked and it was placed on a machine and no codes would show up but the guy recommended I replace the alternator and the battery, and I did. Dodge really needs to do something asap. This [xxx] is ridiculous. It happened to me when I was on the interstate and on the highway. Hopefully this doesn't happen with an inexperienced driver or someone in a really high traffic area because someone could get injured or killed. I guess that's what they're waiting on to fix the problem. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
