I HAVE AN 2007 DODGE CHARGER AND I LOVE MY CAR. I GOT IT IN 2007 MY FIRST CAR I HAVE EVER HAD. ONE DAY I WAS ON MY WAY HOME GOING 50 MPH AND MY CAR JUST SLOWED DOWN ON ME AND THE STEARING WHEEL GOT HARD TO TURN. SO I HAD TO PUSH IT OUT OF THAT ROAD AND CALL A TOWNING TRUCK TO PULL IT IN. AFTER PULLING IT IN I HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP. THE GUY LOOKED AND IT AND CALLED AND TOLD ME THA ENGINE WAS BAD. HE SAID IT WAS STRANG THAT IT HAPPEN BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RESON SHOWING WHY IT SHOULD BE BAD. BECAUSE I KELPT THE OIL CHAGED GOT IT SERVIES LIKE I SHOULD. SO WE GOT TO LOOKING ONLINE AND SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THA ENGINE AND HE SAID THERE IS THA PROBLEM ITS WITH THA ENGINE RECALL AND NOT SOMETHING I DID BECAUSE I DID BECAUSE THA CAR IS IN GREAT CONDITION. AND I JUST WANT MY CAR FIX BUY THA COMPANY. BECAUSE I PRICES EVRYTHING TO GET IT FIXED AND IT WAS 5600.00 AND I DONT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING SOUTH ON LAKESHORE DRIVE IN CHICAGO, MY CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF ON ME. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT INCIDENT. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED AGAIN. WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD OR ANYTHING ELSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NO FEWER THAN 25 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR, INCLUDING FIVE TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. MOST OF THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED DURING THE SPRING/SUMMER MONTHS. I'VE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THEM. NONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DETECT WHAT IS WRONG. *TR

I WAS ON I-495 LEAVING LONG ISLAND NY , DRIVING AROUND 50-55 MPH WHEN MY 07 DODGE CHARGER 2.7 LITER TURNED OFF ON THE EXTREMELY BUSY FREEWAY. IM USUALLY IN THE FASTLANE , BUT THIS PARTICULAR DAY I WAS TRAVELING IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE. SO NO DAMAGE WAS DONE. THERE ARE NO WARNING INDICATORS OR WARNINGS OF THIS PROBLEM THAT OCCURS , BEFORE OR AFTER. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES THAT THE VEHICLE HAS TURNED OFF WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE ON A GREEN LIGHT. THAT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME MANY REAR END ACCIDENTS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO MANY MECHANICS INCLUDING THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND NO ONE COULD SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS ON THE DODGE CHARGER FORUM WITH THE SAME PROBLEM , AND FEEL THE SAME DANGERS THAT COULD BE CAUSED IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED OR AT LEAST IDENTIFIED. IF ALL DODGE CHARGERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM , IT COULD CAUSE MANY DEFECT RELATED ACCIDENTS. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE WARNING AND THE CAR RUNS FINE UNTIL IT UNEXPECTEDLY SHUTS OFF. I HAVE SPENT OVER $800 FOR TEST AND OTHER WISHFUL REPAIRS WITH STILL NO ANSWER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. CHECK THE DODGE CHARGER FORUM. I DIDN'T BOTHER TO SIGN UP BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SOLUTION. *TR
