“Takata recall 2012 Dodge charger. Driving about 50 MPH then car started jumping. Battery light, brake light, ABS light, traction light came on. Car started to kill. Had to pull off road and could barely turn steering wheel. Keep in mind I have my 2 kids in the car. Tried to jump battery and it stated smoking and jumper cables became really hot. Took out battery and brung it in to get checked. Had to buy a new battery for $220. Brung car to get alternator checked and machine says faulty alternator. Just dropped it off at Dodge certified. Not sure what the outcome will be.”
