I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 DODGE CHARGER ABOUT 45 MPH, WHEN SUDDENLY THE POWER WENT OUT ON MY VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO STOP IN TRAFFIC. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART MY CAR, IT WOULDN'T START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO TRY TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FINALLY STARTED.. A FEW MILES INTO MY JOURNEY, THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN.. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT IS RECALLED ON MY VEHICLE. I DRIVE EVERYDAY WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. THE DODGE DEALER SAID THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE. I NEED MY CAR TO GO TO WORK EVERYDAY AND THIS IS VERY DISTURBING. *TR

FOR MANY MONTHS THE VEHICLE HAS HAD ISSUES WITH SPEEDOMETER DROPPING TO ZERO WHILE DRIVING, HEADLIGHTS DIMMING, AND A DELAY WHEN STARTING. UNTIL RECENTLY IT WOULDN'T START AT ALL. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO THEN REPLACED THE BATTERY WHICH HAD SHOWN FAILURE WHEN TESTED. AFTER GETTING MY VEHICLE BACK THE PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY CONTINUED. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED I MAY NEED TO REPLACE THE TIPM. ALSO INFORMED THAT ISSUES WITH THE TIPM AND MANY OTHER VEHICLE MODELS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS IN EFFECT REGARDING FAULTY TIPM. *TR

I WAS TAKING MY COUSIN HOME FROM WORK. THAT WHEN WE PULLED DOWN HIS DRIVE WAY AND STOP. THAT WHEN HE TRY TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND THE SEAT BELT WAS STUCK. WE TRY MISSING WITH IT FOR FIVE MINUTES AND IT STILL DIDN'T COME LOSE. SO I HAD TO TAKE THE SEATBELT BOLT OF THE PASSENGER SEAT SO HE CAN GET OUT OF THE CAR. SO THAT WHEN I DRIVE HOME APPROXIMATELY 30MIN AND IT STILL STUCK. *TR
