2010 CHALLENGER SRT8 AUTOMATIC HAS STALLED AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME. IT HAS 4,820 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE ENGINE HAS STALLED. PRIOR REPORT 10354193. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND SLOWED TO TURN LEFT INTO A DRIVEWAY WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED THE CAR WITHOUT A PROBLEM. *TR

NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, PULL UP TO A STOP SIGN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND CAR JUST DIES. LOSE ALL POWER, NO POWER STEERING AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY. THIS IS NOW THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT LOOKED AT AGAIN. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN WHEN CROSSING AN INTERSECTION INSTEAD OF AT A STOP SIGN. IVE READ HUNDREDS OF REPORTS LIKE MINE ON FORUMS AND YET DODGE IS UNAWARE OF THIS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION?? I WONT BE TAKING MY 1 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN THIS CAR... *TT

VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND COMPLETE THE TURN WITHOUT INCIDENT DUE TO THE ALERTNESS OF THE DRIVER BEHIND ME. I DID NOT NOTICE WHICH SYMBOLS, IF ANY, LIT UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. HAVING A VEHICLE SHUT DOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

I WAS MAKING A SLOW U-TURN AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF (STALLED). THIS ACTUALLY THE THIRD INCIDENT SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN DECEMBER. I WAS PULLING ON TO THE FREEWAY FROM A STOP (UNDER 10MPH) AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF (STALLED). ALSO, I WAS SLOWING TO A RED LIGHT (UNDER 10MPH) AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF (STALLED). I DON'T HAVE THE DATE AND MILEAGE OF THE FIRST TWO INCIDENTS, SO I'VE GIVEN THE DETAILS OF THE THIRD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED AND IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE, SHE HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE BUT HE WAS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THAT BOTH THE ACCELERATOR AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WERE ENGAGED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

FOUR PASSENGER DRIVING OVER RR CROSSING WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF! TRIED TO CRANK IT SEVERAL TIMES WOULDN'T START. THREE PASSENGERS GOT OUT OF THE CAR THE LAST COULDN'T REACH THE SEAT LEVER TO GET OUT SO HE WAS HIT BY A TRAIN THE CAR WAS TOTALED HE ONLY OWNED THE CAR A WEEK IT ONLY HAD 400 MILES ON IT THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER. *TR

WHEN STARTING THE CAR ON A COLD START, THE TAIL PIPE EMISSION (GAS AND CARBON VAPORS) SURROUND THE VEHICLE AND ENTER THE CAR CABIN THROUGH THE AIR VENTS. (COMES UP THROUGH THE HOOD OF THE CAR) I BELIEVE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS LOCATED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT JUST UNDER THE VENTILATION SYSTEM.. THEY CHECKED TO SEE IF ALL PARTS HAD A TIGHT FIT AND THE SALES MANAGER BELIEVES THERE'S NOT A DEFECT.. *TR

I OWN A 2010 CHALLENGER R/T. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 30MPH, I SLOWED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND VEHICLE LIGHTS WENT OUT, LOSS OF ALL POWER, AND ENGINE TURNED OFF. I COASTED TO CURB AND WITHOUT TOUCHING THE KEY, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED RIGHT BACK UP. AGAIN THE NEXT DAY WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A BUSY STREET, VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE TURNING LEFT, EXCEPT I WAS CROSSING THE LANE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AGAIN, IT RESTARTED WITH NO HELP FROM ME. NO ACCIDENT CAUSED, BUT AN ONCOMING VEHICLE CAME TO ABOUT 3 FEET OF MY DRIVERS DOOR BEFORE STOPPING. (40MPH STREET) I READ THAT THIS IS OCCURRING A LOT WITH 08-10 CHALLENGERS AND WOULD LOVE IT FIXED BEFORE MY 17Y/O DAUGHTER TAKES IT OUT AND GETS T-BONED AND INJURED OR WORSE. *TR
