2010 DODGE CHALLENGER Complaints

2010 CHALLENGER SRT8 - CAR SHUT DOWN AT RED LIGHT. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED ONCE, BUT FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE ON THE INTERNET, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHERS WHO OWN THIS MODEL AND YEAR CAR. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEM SUCH AS THIS AND THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING UNLESS THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON. MY HUSBAND THINKS THAT THIS IS A COMPUTER PROBLEM AND HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR NOT COMMUNICATING PROPERLY TO THE COMPUTER AND WHEN THE OIL PRESSURE DROPS, IT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO CUT OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM ALMOST AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CARE NOW BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS COULD HAPPEN AT HIGH SPEED. *TR

MY HEADLINER TO MY NEW 2010 RT CHALLENGER IS HANGING DOWN IN THE BACK WINDOW. THE REASON IS IT IS NOT CORRECTLY ATTACHED. I WENT MY LOCAL DEALER SAN MARCOS DODGE AND MADE THEM AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY 'ALL" COME FROM DODGE THAT WAY. THEY PROCEEDED TO SHOW ME ANOTHER NEW 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER STR8 WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EITHER THAT'S JUST THE WAY THEY COME. I WENT TO A DODGE FORUM AND SINCE MY POSTING ON FEB THE 11TH I NOW HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURES WARRANTY UNDER DEFECTS IN MATERIAL WORKMANSHIP. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS IF THIS HEADLINER DROPS INTO THE REAR WINDOW AREA AND WE LOSE SIGHT OF TRAFFIC A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT COULD TAKE PLACE POSSIBLY FATAL BECAUSE I DO ALOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING IN AUSTIN TX TO SAN MARCOS TX TO GO TO WORK DAILY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS LARGE TRUCKS I MUST NAVIGATE DAILY AROUND. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS SINCE I SEEM TO HAVE LITTLE RECOURSE WITH THE DEALER OR THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION. *TR
