2008 Dodge Charger Awd

I WAS DRIVING 45 MPH WHEN MY 2008 DODGE CHARGER STARTED WANTING TO CUT OFF AS IF WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS THEN ALL AT ONCE CAR JUST CUTS OFF IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. THE CHARGER WOULD NOT CRANK BACK UP, TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY SAID MOTOR JUST WENT OUT, AND ALSO SOMETIMES I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE NOT WANTING TO CUT ON PUT THE KEY IN AND TURN TO ON AND NOTHING LIGHTS WOULD JUST COME ON I ALWAYS KEEP MY OIL CHANGES ON TIME FROM WHAT I BEEN READING THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE HAS ALOT OF PROBLEMS SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GET THESE VEHICLES FIXED. *TR

1. THERE IS A LIGHTBOLT LIGHT THAT LIGHTS UP AND FLASHES ON MY DASHBOARD THE INSTANT WHEN I TURN ON MY VEHICLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE DAY. I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE ENGINE TO HEAT UP A LITTLE BEFORE I TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT AGAIN. 2. AS I DRIVE AND GO ON THE HIGHWAY OR AT ANYTIME THAT MY RPM REACHES 3, THE LIGHTBOLT LIGHT FLASHES AGAIN AND I LOOSE POWER IN THE ENGINE. THE CAR SLOWS DOWN ON ITS OWN DOWN TO AT LEAST 45 MPH, IF I GO OVER A BUMP DURING THIS CYCLE, THE VTC LIGHT ON DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP AND THE CAR FEELS UNSTABLE AS I PRESS ON THE BRAKES. I PULL OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND RESTART THE CAR AND THE LIGHT SHUTS OFF. EVENTUALLY, IF THE LIGHTBOLT CONTINUES TO FLASH AND I AM STILL DRIVING THE VEHICLE STARTS TO CHOKE AND EVENTUALLY SHUTS OFF. *TR

THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCKING COMING FROM MY CAR, I THEN HAD PLACED CAR INTO BE SERVICE TO CHECK OUT KNOCKING. ONCE THE TOP OF ENGINE WAS TORN DOWN, THEY FOUND THE PIN TO THE ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLY WAS CRACKED AND CALL DODGE DEALER TO ORDER PART AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A ON GOING PROBLEM WITH DODGE 3.5 V-6 ENGINE. PARTS WHERE AROUND 800 AND TOTAL BILL WAS AROUND 1200. UPON PICKING UP CAR LEARNED THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER DODGE IN THE REPAIR SHOP BEING FIXED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND SHOP OWNER INFOR ME THE AFTER THEY CHECKED INTO IT. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR THIS ENGINES. AND STATED WHEN THE CALLED THE DEALER FOR THE PART, THE PARTS DEPARTMENT KNEW JUST WHAT PART THEY NEEDED AND DID NOT EVEN HAVE TO LOOK THE PART UP, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. THIS IS A EVERY EXPENSIVE FIX THAT DODGE SHOULD MAKE RIGHT AND REPLACE THESE PARTS THAT FAIL REPEATEDLY IN THESE ENGINES. THE WORSE PART IS DODGE KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PARTS DEPARTMENT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO LOOK UP THE PART OR PART NUMBER FOR ORDERING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW I HAVE PLACE MY CAR BACK INTO THE REPAIR SHOP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. *TR
