“Have a 2010 Dodge Challenger with less than 40,000 miles. Took car to shop at Dodge dealership due to the fact that my check engine light was on (at 38,000 miles). After not diagnosing my car correctly on 3 separate occasions, they finally determined that the car needed a new power module, and several engine sensors were faulty and not working.”

I have to put the vehicle in park press my ignition start button to turn the car completely to the off position and restart the vehicle. …”
