I would start the car and it would turn off on me right away. The next day the the lights and radio would shut off and blinkers wouldn't work. Now yesterday while driving the car shut off on me and the lights and brakes wouldn't work. I need help. What is wrong with it!

Do any of the lights work? Did the car restart? As far as the brakes, did they just get hard to push because the engine stalled?

I have a 2007 Dodge charger r/t. For the past 5 months or so it has been acting strange. When I and driving, and starting to slow down and come to a complete stop, say at a red light, my car will make a revving up sound, and sometimes it will even jolt a little like it wants to go forward while im stopped. Sometimes its worse than others, and sometimes it doesnt do it at all. It only does this when I am slowing down and coming to a stop, never when im trying to accelerate. Then sometimes, maybe once a week or even sometimes not for a couple weeks, when it does this, it will actually stall and die. It makes a bing sound and then dies. I will immediately put it in park and it will start back up fine. There is no check engine light on. I have taken it to a mechanic, and they changed the spark plugs, brake pads, and did a basic tune up, and he said that was all he could fine wrong with the car. After having that done the car started doing the same things almost right away. I just don't know what to do, any advise that can put me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

I recently had sub-zero temperatures and also lots of snow. I did not start my car during the winter storm, however once the sub zero temperaturesn and the cold weather left I'd tried to start it up now and I'm having issues starting. The car wants to start but it just is not catching can someone please help?

Inspect and test all the following listed below:

Oxygen sensor
Catalytic converter
Dirty fuel injectors (cleaning the injectors often fixes this).
Bad MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor
Bad TPS (throttle position) sensor
Bad or dirty MAF (mass airflow) sensor
Low fuel pressure (leaky fuel pressure regulator or weak fuel pump)
Vacuum leaks (intake manifold, vacuum hoses, throttle body, EGR valve)
Bad gasoline (fuel contaminated with water or too much alcohol)
Dirty or worn spark plugs
Bad plug wires
Weak ignition coil
Cap and rotor

Note:If it doesn't apply disregard.

On two occassions my Charger has stalled. Once while driving and lost all power, once while parked. It does shake and it feels like it is going to stall at times but doesn't. What is the problem? What should I have the dealer look at when I take it in?
