Accelerating on highway at around 45mph my Dodge Charger gave a small spurt of powder then immediately after i lost complete power and shut down. I had to move to shoulder of highway where i turned the key to off position and took key out. I tried to restart the car and it wouldnt even try turning over. The cluster lights of PRND38 (ive never seen an 8 on there before)… showed up with boxes around each letter which was not normal along with the lightning bolt light and battery light. We changed new charged battery still no turn over. Tried to connect a snap on code scanner and it wouldn’t link. I also changed throttle pedal as well as throttle body because the lightning bolb light was on When can shut down while driving it.

Need keyfobs reprogramed my car won't start unless I hold down on door lock and lock on keyfob at the same time and to the point where it won't start at all security light keeps coming on before starting. My car shutdown while driving in traffic. It happens a lot. Please recall these parts. I'm afraid of wrecking when breaking down in rush hour traffic?

I'D JUST PULL UP TO A STORE, HOP OUT THEN COME BACK AND 20MINS LATER I'M STILL TRYING TO TURN THE CAR ON AND THE ONLY THING THAT HELP WAS IF I JIGGLED IT A LITTLE AND SLIGHTLY PUSH IT IN, BUT WHAT SCARED ME WAS THE FACT THAT I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY AND MY CAR JUST STOPPED FOR NO REASON ALMOST CAUSING A MULTICAR ACCIDENT.
