Description of the problem | I was heading to work early am. Heading down the freeway, notice the battery save mode on the dash. By that time the radio shut off and didn't have a/c, started to blow hot air. I started to smell burning rubber. Almost didn't make it off the high before the car shut off. It was hard to steer, and lost brakes. Almost hitting a couple of cars. So i look up what battery save mode was, then check the forums. It is common in the 2011-2012 chargers. I had to get the car towed to dealership. |
