What owners wrote
In the past 6 months my steering and suspension components failed causing me to wreck and also somehow my engine bay deteriorated in turn having started a fire
Making right turn onto narrow interstate bridge engine died with loss of power steering and braking. This is 9th time it has happened and has been to the dealer 7 times and about 5000 miles ago dealer replaced computer. Almost was rear-ended and almost drove into oncoming traffic. There have been complaints like this all over the country with the hemi engine. When is the gov't. Going to act before someone is killed. Dodge is ignoring the severity of the situation.
