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.

I am not able to put my car in gear from park. I will have my foot on the break and shift to reverse or drive and it won't budge at all. It acts like it's locked up. What is causing this. This never happened to me until I had the air bags replaces for the air bag recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge charger. While driving and making a left turn into a service area, the vehicle turned off. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to keffer chrysler jeep dodge ram (located at 8214 e independence blvd, charlotte, nc 28227, (704) 532-1050) where it was diagnosed that the battery, power train control module, and alternator needed to be replaced.

The wiring harness coming out of the transmission burnt and also the wire's going to the o2 sensor burnt.
Driving home and battery light came on and immediately following the car killed on me mid-rush hour on a very busy street between 3:00pm to 6:00pm out of no where. I had help to get it off the main road and asked for a jump start the car started up and ten minutes into the battery light came on again and the car killed. Called a tow man due to the risk level of not knowing when the car will kill again and most importantly where if I did the jump started again. Replaced the alternator/battery but issue remains with battery light coming on and shortly after car kills. A slight difference is the replaced battery allowed car to remain driven longer before it kills. Battery light comes on two to four minutes later car kills. (replaced battery) battery light comes on fifteen/twenty minutes later car kill.
While driving down the road all the park reverse neutral and drive lights started having flashing squares around them and a 8 appeared at the end of them. Then the transmission started getting stuck at high speed and nearly made me loose control.
The PCM - power-train control module fail, causing the motor to rock and jerk perfidiously from side to side as if your tire on the right side is on a flat and while driving down the freeway. Can stop are stall out at anytime with out you being aware. It happen while in motion and trying to park it.
