SHIFTING HAS BECOME A MAJOR ISSUE HAVE TO USE A PEN OR KNIFE TO PUT PRESSURE ON A SWITCH TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. WAS TOLD BY LOCAL DODGE DEALER IT IS A ISSUE WITH THE CHALLENGER BUT NOT THIS MODEL. THEY ARE THE SAME SHIFTER. ALSO THE LIGHT THAT ILLUMINATES THE SHIFTER STARTED TO CATCH FIRE BUT I WAS ABLE REMOVE BEFORE FIRE IGNITED. I SAW THE SMOKE AND SMELLED ELECTRICAL BURNING. LUCKILY THAT STARTED RIGHT BEFORE I WENT TO STRUGGLE AND PUT IN DRIVE.

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT AS OF MARCH, I HAD FRONT DAMAGE HIT PRETTY HARD AT LEAST THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED BUT AFTER I GOT MY CAR BACK IT STARTED CUTTING OFF FOR NO REASON. I TOOK IT BACK TO AUTO SHOP THAT FIXED IT WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO REVVING UP BETWEEN THE 3 AND 5 RPM AND BARELY MOVING THE LIGHTEST TOUCH IT WOULD STAY STUCK BETWEEN THOSE EVEN SLOWING DOWN TO LESS 25 MPH AS SOON AS STEP ON THE GAS IT WILL SHOOT RIGHT BACK UP BETWEEN 3 AND 5 RPM AND REV.. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN MY CAR OFF AND TURN THE KEY REALLY HARD TO TURN ON AND IT WOULD GO BACK REGULAR. MY CAR RANDOMLY CUTS OFF WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHTS OR WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IF I AM IN REVERSE AND START TO BACK UP IT STALLS, JERKS THEN CUTS OFF . THE DEALERSHIP AND AUTO SHOP ARE NOT FINDING ANYTHING "WRONG" WITH IT. UNKNOWN OF WHAT PATICULAR SYSTEM THIS IS I WAS TOLD FUEL LINE BUT I THINK ITS THE ENGINE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THEN GO BACK . IT IS HAPPENING ON AND OFF AND NO ONE WILL LOOK AT IT UNLESS IM PAYING OUT OF POCKET THIS STARTED HAPPENING AROUND 30,000 MILES.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. MY CAR HAD 21000 MILES. SOMEONE RAN A LIGHT THROUGH AN EMERGANCY LANE THE FRONT OF OUR VEHICLES COLLIDED. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, MY ENGINE ENDED UP ON THE GROUND AS WELL AS MY RADIATOR. IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. SHOULDN'T THERE HAVE BEEN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED?

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND AS I CAME TO A LIGHT MY CAR STARTED TO IDLE REALLY ROUGH LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL THE RPMS WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO ALMOST 200RPM THEN I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND HIT THE GAS A BIT SO IT WOULDN'T STALL AND IT REVVED UP TO 1000 RPM AND THEN SHUT OFF COMPLETELY AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED AT ME . THEN I RESTARTED MY CAR AND THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON . THE CAR WAS IDLEING REALLY ROUGH. I HAVE THE 2.4L I-4. ITS NEVER RAN THAT WAY BEFORE SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES LATER IT DID THE SAME EXACT THING. I AM OUT OF MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY SO A DEALER WANTED 100 JUST TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE CAR I WENT TO AUTOZONE TO HAVE THE COMPUTER SCANNED AND HE SAID THEIR WERE NO CODES. HE TOLD ME HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUES COULD BE EITHER . THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME . THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WAS BACKING PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY I WENT TO PUT IT IN REVERSE IT WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN AS I WAS GIVING IT A LITTLE BIT OF GAS IT SLAMMED INTO REVERSE IT ALMOST FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION FELL OUT OF THE CAR. AND IT CHIRPED THE TIRES. THEN AFTER I BACKED OUT MY ENGINE STALLED AND THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON. ( ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL)THEN I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR AND IT DROVE FINE LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED.
