Description of the problem | Car turned off/shut down by itself while driving, resulting in loss of power steering and brakes, for the 7th time. Speed relatively slow around 30 mph, and not turning sharply. Driving in residential area. Lost power steering and power brakes. Very difficult to: turn, stop, and restart. Vehicle did not store any codes. This is the 1st failure on the newly replaced pcm but 7th total since i bought the car new.. Dodge/chrysler says this is "not serious" because there are no error codes saved in the car and they cannot duplicate the failure. They say if it was serious, there would be a code. They are not willing to look/ investigate further because there are no codes and it didn't die on their test drive while hooked to their diagnostic equipment. Service manager gene at waldorf dodge said the srt help center/case manager recommended changing the transmission fluid & perform tune up; both performed 15k miles ago. (ridiculous. This is how women get treated at waldorf dodge. He also told me the srt challenger has a timing belt in the front of the engine-not). This is dangerous!!! |
