problem #2

Magnum R/T 5.7L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 109,841 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

After using car and parking in garage, and not using it for 2 days, battery is dead. I replaced it with the correct one for this model. 2 days later battery was dead. I was told the alternator was defective and had it replaced, but the battery still has a draw. Could it be a bad module??

I need HELP...

The car ran fine until it snowed, then it just stopped. Now it will not start, I am so pissed. This is a peace of sh*t car.
