What owners wrote

While driving on dirt road at about 15 or 20 MPH, I was steering straight in the intended direction, without any swaying, fishtailing, the vehicle accelerated and veered left thus, coming to rest in a drain ditch....updated 10/11/17 updated 10/18/17 updated 7/24/18

I purchased 2016 dodge charger one month ago from california auto direct in montclair. While signing the paperwork, we questioned a $1,000 dealer charge which they explained was for a thorough inspection before putting their car on the lot to sell (all lies). Since I purchased the car on 3/7/20, the car has stalled on me while driving 3 times. I took the car to a "dodge" dealer and they fixed a recall, oil leak and replaced a missing caliper, old battery.
