This is the second time that my challenger has stalled when making a right-hand turn; the first time was about a eight months ago. yesterday, i slowed to turn into my office parking lot. when i was making this right-hand turn, the engine stalled and i could not steer the car - almost hitting the curb. after putting the car in park, i was able to restart the car. *tr
While driving my 2010 challenger rt 4.7l hemi on the ca 15 freeway at 70 mph the car suddenly shut down. the warning lights for engine and oil came on and i had to coast to a stop. steering and brakes remained operational and luckily i made it to the shoulder as the 15 freeway is extremely busy and fast. i had the car towed to a nearby dodge dealer where they informed me that my plastic timing chain guides had disintegrated and caused a blown engine. the car repairs (rebuilt engine) were covered under the 100k mile powertrain warranty but took 4 weeks to complete. the car had 54k freeway miles on it when this happened, was regularly maintained, and never showed any indications that a severe issue would have been forthcoming. i now question the longevity of the new rebuilt engine as same timing chain assembly parts were used during the repair. noticed there is at least one other identical report on the nhtsa website so reported on my incident. *tr
While driving on the interstate my dodge challenger was traveling between 65-72 mph and a wind noise came through either the driver's side window of the left 1/4 window that does not roll up or down. this hollowing noise has been addressed 7 times and nothing the dealer has done has fixed it. i have been told it is my imagination, the car has no noises, it is not the rear-differential and might just be me. the weather stripping has been replaced, foam has been put in on the left and right side fenders via the wheel well and nothing has fixed the noise. on saturday of last week, we made a 120 mile trip to see family and the car was put in to cruise position and was set at 72 mph and the noise was almost deafening. i think this should be listed on the reports here and it is an ongoing battle between me and chrysler. *tr
While making a slow right turn at approximately 25 mph my vehicle stalled. the engine completely died and the oil light came on. the steering and brakes also did not function. i had to restart the car to regain control. it started back up right away as if nothing happened. although i do not remember the exact dates this has happened to me about 4 previous times. the dealership has no answers and they assume nothing is wrong because it doesn't show up on their diagnostic computer. if someone had been behind me or in front of me there would have been an accident. eventually, there likely will be. a recall needs to be issued on this problem and a solution must be found asap. according to numerous reports, this has happened repeatedly with 2010 dodge challengers. *tr

While driving in stop and go traffic the check engine oil and esp light came on followed by four chimes and then car completely shut off and the steering locked. after several attempts, the car started up again and the codes turned off. approx 1 month later the same thing occurred. i was making a turn on a roundabout when the same thing occurred during heavy traffic and almost caused an accident. i took the car into the dealership and they said there was nothing captured on the computer. they replaced the key fob and said that this should fix the problem. 4-5 months later, i was in reno, nv. i was driving 20-35 mph and again check engine oil light, esp and four chimes and the car shut off again, the steering locked, and i coasted until i came to a complete stop and placed it in park, started car and oil and codes turned off. 24 hours later when driving home on the freeway in heavy traffic, the same thing occurred!!! i put on my hazard lights and let the car roll, came to a complete stop, placed car in park and after several attempts, the car started and codes turned off. the following day i took the car back to the dealership and again they said they could not find a problem with it, as nothing was recorded in the internal computer. i asked for the car to be kept until the problem was resolved. they were not able to duplicate it in that one week. i asked for a co pilot computer to be placed in the vehicle in hopes of capturing the problem when it occurred, as the codes turn off after car is started. dodge sent out a rep to inspect vehicle. after inspection they stated nothing is wrong with the vehicle, they cannot duplicate the problem, and there are no codes stored on the computer. i am now faced with driving an unsafe vehicle that shuts off on me in the city and most dangerously on the freeway with no set pattern and the manufacturer has done nothing to fix it!! *tr

engine quit while driving on the freeway with no warning! i was extremely lucky that it didn't quit on one of the back roads i drive every day to work, because there are no shoulders to pull over on, and i will most likely be rear ended when it happens again, and i know it will.. i can tell the failure is going to happen again from my past experience, and i have notified chrysler several times about it, but they refuse to fix the issue. *tr

On or about june of 2011 i was driving my car in ga, and the engine just shut off. after contacting the manufacture. dodge had the car towed to thompson dodge in thompson ga. i was told there by the head mechanic that my engine suffered a total catastrophic failure . they ( manufacture) decided to rebuild instead of replacing my engine as i had asked. then on thursday 11/22/2012 i was driving (60-65 mph) home to nj from texas. and the engine did the same thing. leaving me stranded. after the first time i was told that the timing chain broke. i find it hard to believe that a 2010 challenger will break 2 chains within 2 years. there has to be a underlying cause for this. please advise me and respond. i can be reached at [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).*tr
If chrysler was notified of the problems i have had with this car, they would remember it from 3 days after i purchased it from westpointe dodge in oklahoma. i had problems from day one, mainly from the lies i was told at the dealership, i bought it new! i was told of all the extras on this vehicle including a navagation system, i tried to get the navagation system to work, no luck. i called them and they told me to bring it back, probably just didn't have the navagation system hooked up. i took it back, they said it had one, then looked and checked and on and on, then said no navagation system, they installed an after market mirror so i would have something to tell me what directions i was going. that was not the end there. i sent 10 pages of notes to chrysler explaining all the problems i had with the vehicle. they gave me free oil changes. now, in march, the car started having problems starting, it would die after running rough, then after 2-3 tries it would start. i took it to the dealership on may 1st, they said they could not find a problem, probably just bad gas, i had got it back 2 days later. the next day, it would not start, after a few more tries it did start. i called the dealership and took it back to them on may 6th. i called them may 7th, said they thought they found the problem and changed something. i called them yesterday and they said it still had the problem and they had contacted chrysler to see if they could help find the problem. the dealership called today and said they "think" they have it fixed, but will need to wait until monday and start it again to see if it is fixed. this is a vehicle with less that 20 thousand miles. i can only hope than if and when i get it back,i don't have any more problems. *tr
