Description of the problem | Tracktion control light came on, i pulled into my driveway. Thank god because when i tried to start it about 5 min. Later it was dead. Would not hold a charge, could not jump start it , had it towed to haddad dodge. Next morning they called and said it is the alternater and it's $1000😳so i asked if that's all that's wrong because i know there were burned out fuses and i would think i would need a new battery . He said i would have to pay for the alternater before he could check to see if anything else was wrong,hmmmmmm i've checked the dodge blog and i can't count how many people have had the excact same thing happen to there challengers! I guess there going to wait till one of us gets killed before they do a recall on what ever is causing this to happen,because if ur on the freeway and it dies it's no fun at 70 with no brakes and no steering!,, i was actually rear ended at a stop light 6 months ago, maybe that had something to do with, because i have had one thing after another go wrong with this car since the accident. But if u ask anyone in this hillbilly town i live in, the reck had nothing to do with any of the problems my cars having! Coman since tells me it has everything to do with it, since my car was perfect since the day i got it! Not one problem ever, till that idiot hit me, but this town is full of men that know everything about everything 😏 |
