Car shuts off at apporximately 45mph. Almost wreck and then flickers back to normal operating and drive home(5)minutes and park. Will not start back up. Towed the car to a Dodge dealer who replaced the alternator recall and tells me to pick it up. I go pick it up and now it will not change gears, over heats in dealership parking lot and fans will not operate. Dealer keeps car and says it's a bad water pump and thermostat. At this point I do not trust dealer and replace the water pump, thermostat, idler pulley, temp sensor, belt tensioner myself. Start car and sounds great but overheats again. Now will not start at all. I see many many complaints about this and Dodge does nothign because it is out of warranty. Note to self....goverment still not protecting the little guy. Side note....will never buy another Dodge!
"?" what can I do when a dealer service dept. Lie about replacement due to recall. On 01/04/18 my Dodge Challenger was tow to the dealer, alternator & batt were replaced. I ask if the air bags could be replace due to another recall, I was told yes. Picked up the car on 1/08/18 ask about the A/bs and was told yes. 6 months later (O/a 6/7/18) when I filed the paper work away I notice nothing about the A/B. went back to the dealer and was told by another advisor that it could not have been installed because that they just got the A/bs that week. That the lie. That lie could of resulted in someone's death. Place advise.
