There needs be a recall for the 2010 dodge charger sxt. While driving home on the interstate, just as I'm merging on to my exit, the car shuts completely down while in motion during traffic. I had no idea that it had completely stalled until I tried to give it gas and turn the steering wheel as I was going into to a curve with cars in front of me and behind. Had to fight like [xxx] to turn the wheel and use the brakes to bring the car to a complete stop. I tried to start the engine with no success. It kept turning over making a "ru rur rur rur rur" sound which was accompanied by the smell of wires burning and a red lightning bolt that appeared on the dash. Tried to start again, it became worse. Had to have the car towed to repair shop to see what the issue is. Have not heard anything yet. Called dealership to see if they could shed some light on the subject, they reluctantly declined to do so in every way possible. The dealership I took it said they could not find the problem and suggested that it is not their problem. Dodge needs to do something asap. This [xxx] is going to get somebody killed if a recall is not issued. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem.
