terminal was melted off took car to shop
they said that it was the starter and the
sensor cable they fixed both and now it still

Make sure battery has a full charge and connections all good? If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you check for spark at the plugs--check proper fuel pressure--check fuel injector pulse--check applicable trouble codes. What about your security system? Check cylinder compression, w/o compression, it won't start. If cranking rpms are faster than normal, it may mean, there is no compression. When cranking, let starter motor cool off a bit between cranks. good luck

Take it to a different shop and don't tell them what the previous shop told you. See what they have to say. Has the vehicle been checked for any stored codes ?

I too have a 2009 charger and it stopped on me while driving. Towed it home does not turn over just clicks once. Will not start with a jump battery is good. Im so lost! Put a new starter in and nothing its just sitting....
