Description of the problem | I have a 2010 dodge challenger srt8 with 6. 1l v* hemi engine. 6000 miles on it and in perfect shape. On may 2nd at 1pm i came off the freeway (air conditioner was on) and slowed to 10 mi/hr to make a left hand turn. Power steering went dead than car stooped running. I took it to tempe dodge and they said they have never heard of this before. I goggled it and find out its been happening with a lot of srt8s and has been reported numerous times; yet tempe dodge is unaware of it??? Really!!!!! This needs addressing now before someone dies!!!! Dodge is not taking this seriously as if they wish it would go away. For a 40k car this is ridiculous!! This needs to be a recall item and it needs to have a root cause analysis completed by dodge engineers asap!!! If this happens at higher speeds or in sharper turn someone will die!! I want an answer. If dodge does not provide one asap i will make it my personal responsibility to be sure no one buys another challenger without being aware of the incidents in documented form. |
