Description of the problem	Driving my 2011 dodge challenger r/t on the highway on the second lane switching lanes approaching my exit. As i turned to the right lane all the lights on my dashboard went on and without warning my car turned off causing the steering wheel to stiffen up. Luckily i was able to stop the car pull to the shoulder and realized my battery was dead. I jumpstarted my car and was able to get to my destination which was nearby and i parked and turned off my car. As soon as i tried turning it on my battery was dead again. I called my roadside assistance for a jump and was able to get my car going but as soon as i turned the steering wheel my car seemed to have a short which caused all the dashboard lights to go and my car to turn off and kill my battery. Reading how many other dodge owners have gone through very similar problems and been fortunate to avoid getting hurt or hurting other drivers. I believe this issue should be looked into a bit more since it seems to be more common and should not be at the owners expense. Ive been very happy with my challenger to this point. I just want to be able to drive my challenger comfortably not worry about my safety and know the manufacturer has done everything possible to take care of the issue and avoid the same problem in future models. I eventually would like to own a newer challenger model. Knowing that steps are being taken to avoid similar issues on them, i can see myself getting one,even if asked to return the one i own now.
