While driving on a 2 lane highway with traffic behind me, the car shuts down and i lose power while driving. the steering wheel locked up making it very difficult to turn. i pressed the gas repeatedly and nothing happened. cars behind me were blowing but there wasn't much i could do. the car was slowing down anyway so i pressed the brake and they worked so i struggled like crazy to turn the steering wheel and was able to put the car into a church driveway. thank god the brakes worked or it could've been ugly. i tried starting the car but it wouldn't do anything but act like it wanted to start. it wasn't a clicking it was more like a winding noise like a ruuu ruuu ruuu. i tried to start it again and it made the same noise but it sounded worse. i had to have the car towed to my home because there wasn't a repair shop opened that late. i'm going to call a mechanic to see what the issue might be. this is not the first time this has happened to me. it happened two in april and three times ...

Recently i have changed the battery, alternator, and now the car is at the dealership and they changed some type of module that reads the keys, first they stated the fuse box in the trunk was the problem. they installed a new fuse box and they then stated that was not the problem. next is when they replaced the module that reads the keys, and then they stated that all the fuses were blown and there had to be a power surge there was not. i don't understand why they didn't see the blown fuses when they started this whole process. also, they stated that there is a recall on 2010 dodge chargers with the module that controls the keys however my car was 10 days outside of the build date to qualify. what is going and why would my car be outside the build date? they stated that they don't know what the issue is now. the official dodge dealership has my car and they don't know what the issue is.

Wife was driving charger when the gauges, radio, ac went hay wire and a few seconds later the car just died in heavy traffic and would not start back. had car was towed and very costly as she was far from home. from what i could find online it sounded like the battery or alternator, removed both and had them tested and both are in good working order. charged battery up and car started right up so we test from it. while driving it only a few miles we noticed that there is a strange new whining noise coming from under there hood, esp/ tration control lights came on and car died again charged battery again and it started right up again however we are reluctant to drive it again due to this issue. sounds like alot of people in online forums are having this same issue, but yet no recalls or fix's for whatever the issue is
The battery light comes on when vehicle after vehicle is running for about 20 minutes .
