2010 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON WHEN VEHICLE AFTER VEHICLE IS RUNNING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES .

MY 2010 DODGE CHARGER CAUGHT FIRE AND EXPLODED. I WAS SITTING IN IT WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING, WAITING FOR MY SON. I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING, BUT NOT LIKE PLASTIC OR THE SMELL WHEN IT'S OVERHEATING. I LOOKED AT MY DASH AND THE THERMOSTAT NEEDLE WAS STRAIGHT UP THEN I SAW A LITTLE PUFF OF SMOKE OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE. I POPPED THE HOOD AND FLAMES SHOT ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. I OPENED THE DOOR AND ROLLED OUT BECAUSE MY SEAT WAS RECLINED. I COULD SEE FIRE UNDER THE HOOD, I REACHED BACK IN AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF THINKING MAYBE IT WOULD HELP. I GRABBED MY PHONE WHICH WAS STUCK TO THE DASH WITH A MAGNET AND I RAN LIKE HELL!

WIFE WAS DRIVING CHARGER WHEN THE GAUGES, RADIO, AC WENT HAY WIRE AND A FEW SECONDS LATER THE CAR JUST DIED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WOULD NOT START BACK. HAD CAR WAS TOWED AND VERY COSTLY AS SHE WAS FAR FROM HOME. FROM WHAT I COULD FIND ONLINE IT SOUNDED LIKE THE BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR, REMOVED BOTH AND HAD THEM TESTED AND BOTH ARE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. CHARGED BATTERY UP AND CAR STARTED RIGHT UP SO WE TEST FROM IT. WHILE DRIVING IT ONLY A FEW MILES WE NOTICED THAT THERE IS A STRANGE NEW WHINING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THERE HOOD, ESP/ TRATION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR DIED AGAIN CHARGED BATTERY AGAIN AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP AGAIN HOWEVER WE ARE RELUCTANT TO DRIVE IT AGAIN DUE TO THIS ISSUE. SOUNDS LIKE ALOT OF PEOPLE IN ONLINE FORUMS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT YET NO RECALLS OR FIX'S FOR WHATEVER THE ISSUE IS

HAD TO FIGHT LIKE [XXX] TO TURN THE WHEEL AND USE THE BRAKES TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP. I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE WITH NO SUCCESS. IT KEPT TURNING OVER MAKING A "RU RUR RUR RUR RUR" SOUND WHICH WAS ACCOMPANIED BY THE SMELL OF WIRES BURNING AND A RED LIGHTNING BOLT THAT APPEARED ON THE DASH. TRIED TO START AGAIN, IT BECAME WORSE.
