The "WIN" module on my 2010 dodge charger srt8 is having the defects associated on other 2010 regular chargers but isn't on the recall list.. Why is that ?
While driving at 50 mph my car shut off with no warning I looked it up online many other people have had the same incident happen to them I feel it's very serious matter
"takata recall"about April 2014 my car steering wheel felt tight so I pulled across the street from my house in the parking lot check the engine, oil power steering, everything was full well the next week my car was in a accident my car had jerked to the right in a alley way I the only one in the car an all my air bags diploid it has already had an investigation on the vehicle since then threw Dodge they said it was my air bags and electrical but they wanted to have a double check on ect,
I brought a vehicle with a rolled back odometorand the check engine light was caulked over so you could not see it was on.after I brought the car from an individual it failed emission testing. My mechanic discovered the check engine light was cualked. I decided to look up the VIN online and saw the car was sold at auction on 9/25/17 on the odometor read 199955.

It was also on title as 99,000. The car lost 100,000 on the odometor in 2 weeks. Title showing 99,000 is atached.
Approximately 8 months or so ago I had to replace my battery because it was "too weak" for my car. I did so and everything was fine until about a month ago when I tried starting my car and it took about 5 minutes for me to finally start it, it was stationary. I came home with my eyes stinging and swollen and this only happened when I was in the car. Upon further investigation I realized the battery blew up and there was battery acid all over my trunk. I went online to see if it was common and I have seen several forums of people complaining about their batteries blowing up. This is a serious safety hazard for the driver and passengers in the vehicle. I don't know if it is a problem with the car itself or the battery, but I do think this needs to be addressed. The battery is a duralast battery.
This car has been a nightmare. The automatic transmission went out at 85,000 miles and had to be completely replaced, thank fully the warranty covered it. This month I was driving to work and the car just died. I called aaa and had it towed to a total of 3 mechanics including the local Dodge dealership. Final prognosis was my timing chain broke. Not from wear and tear or stretching, it just snapped. The snapping of the timing chain caused the valves to bend which lead to the entire motor being tore down and piston by piston and ultimately having the bottom end rebuilt/replaced/etc. The part that sucks is this is a recall for my motor, year, and vehicle however my VIN number wasnt listed as part of the recall. So I had to pay $4000 to have my car fixed by aaa mechanic because the Dodge dealer wanted $7000 to fix it.
I was attempting to leave walmart parking lot and without warning the car died. I took it to be serviced and was told that it was giving no diagnostic codes. I picked the car up 3 days later and while bringing it home it died 3 times. I researched for reported complaints and found that this appears to be an ongoing issue. Why are these cars being sold? this is a very dangerous situation and I'm paying for a vehicle that I can't drive because there is a great risk of bodily harm or death to myself and others. This needs to be acknowledged and rectified!
