I was driving on the freeway when all of the sudden a bunch of warning lights started flashing on the dashboard so a pulled off the freeway and the motor died and would not start again.. I bought a brand new battery and put that in then the alternator started smocking and burned out so I bought a new one and put that in. I made it across town all light started flickering again and car shut off while driving. I replaced the alternator again and the same thing happened again! I don't know what to do now the car is dead!

My 2010 dodge charger was under recall for timing chain and chain guide tensioner. We took it to a licensed garage that's been in business for many years. They said they ordered the biggest timing chain. It lasted 6 months. We were 7 hours from home on our wedding anniversary vacation. When the chain broke we were driving so there was extensive damage to the engine. The garage said we needed a new engine. It's been in the shop for over a month because they cannot find an engine that works to their satisfaction. So, my car is only 7 yrs old and now I don't trust it. Why was there a recall in…

The cylinder head on my car failed at 29,000 miles and was replaced under warranty. Last week, it happened again. February 2013, 29,000 miles: the car was running a little rough, then the malfunction indicator light (Mil) came on. The code was p0305 or cylinder misfire detected - cylinder number 5. Per the service invoice, "cylinder head failed. Replaced head." july 2014, 44,000 miles: again, the car was running rough, the mil went on, and the code was p0305.

My experience is remarkably similar to the NHTSA complaint of 4/4/13. The rear isolators [bushings] snapped and the rear cradle assembly was replaced at 11,000 miles. I was traveling at a slow speed and completely lost power but was able to pull over to a parking lot. Car was not drivable and was flat-bedded to dealer. Rear isolator snapped without warning. No impact, accident, pot hole. Just snapped and the exhaust etc. Dropped. I was the only driver, so I know it was treated well. Dealer stripped undercarriage and replaced rear cradle assembly. Here's what the service invoice said, "found…
