THIS IS REGARDING A 2007 DODGE CHARGER SRT-8. THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY WHEN I WAS SUDDENLY UNABLE TO ACCELERATE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN "SPUTTERING" AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. I EXITED AT THE NEXT AVAILABLE OFF-RAMP AND CAME TO A STOP AT WHICH POINT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I WAS UNABLE TO START IT AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER/DODGE DEALERSHIP/SERVICE CENTER AND AFTER ABOUT A WEEK I WAS INFORMED THAT THE #2 CYLINDER HAD 0 PSI COMPRESSION. THEY SAID THEY HAD TO OPEN THE ENGINE TO GET FURTHER INFORMATION AS TO WHY IT HAD NO COMPRESSION. AFTER OPENING THE ENGINE, THEY FOUND THAT THE VALVE SEAT FOR THE #2 CYLINDER WAS WARN AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. GIVEN THAT THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 70K MILES ON IT, I BELIEVE THIS FAILURE IS PREMATURE. THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO SIGNS OF DEGRADATION IN VEHICLE PERFORMANCE LEADING UP TO THIS INCIDENT. I USE THIS VEHICLE TO COMMUTE TO WORK ABOUT 35 MILES EACH WAY, EVERYDAY. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THE VEHICLE AND SERVICE IT REGULARLY IF NOT EARLIER THAN THE RECOMMENDED MILEAGE/TIME. *TR

VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT SEVERAL TIMES SINCE MY PURCHASE. VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT IN 2009 WITH APPROXIMATELY 13500 MILES ON IT. IT STALLED THE FIRST TIME ABOUT A MONTH LATER. SINCE THEN IT HAS STALLED APPROXIMATELY TEN TIMES. EACH TIME IT OCCURS WHEN SLOWING FOR A STOP, OR WHILE ACTUALLY STOPPED. THE ENGINE WILL SHUTTER LIKE IT IS BEING CHOKED. IT WILL THEN REV SLIGHTLY AND THEN CUT OFF. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN DIFFERENT WEATHER CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES. CONTACT WITH LOCAL DEALER HAS NOT PRODUCED ANY ANSWERS. THEY SAY THE PROBLEM HAS TO BE REPLICATED HOWEVER IT DOES NOT OCCUR WITH ANY CERTAIN FREQUENCY. SEVERAL OTHER RELATED COMPLAINTS CAN BE FOUND ON THE INTERNET WITH NO SOLUTION. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION, THE CAR STARTED STUTTERING AND LATER ON STALLED AT A RED LIGHT IN THE CITY. HAS BECOME THIS WAY ONLY AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK COMPLETELY, IT WILL STUTTER AND SOMETIMES STALL AT COMPLETE STOPS. I HAVE STOPPED FROM FILLING UP COMPLETELY TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS NOW. IT IS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER RT RWD. *TR

ABOUT 40K MILES INTO OWNING THE CAR I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR STALLED OUT. ONCE I PULLED OVER I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR BUT WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NOW APPEARING. THE CAR MADE IT THE REST OF MY DESTINATION BUT HAS NOT BEEN THE SAME SINCE. THAT WAS 5 YEARS AGO. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. THERE APPEARS TO BE LITTLE POWER LEFT WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS THE CAR RESPONDS BUT WILL IDLE DOWN AND FEEL CLOSE TO STALLING OUT EVEN WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I TOOK TO DODGE AND THEY REPLACED A PART THAT COST ME $800 TO FIX (INTAKE MANIFOLD TUNING VALVE). OF COURSE THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OF FOR ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE IT CAME ON AGAIN. THEY DID NOT WANT TO HELP ME OUT. I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE ANOTHER $1200 IN REPAIRS. I DID NOT WANT TO SPEND THIS MUCH MONEY AS I DO NOT HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT THEY HAVE A RESOLUTION. THE CAR HAS NEVER PERFORMED ANY BETTER. I HAVE PUT LESS THAN 3K MILES/YEAR ON THE CAR FOR THE PREVIOUS TWO YEARS. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THAT MY CAR WOULD HAVE LASTED THIS LONG IF MY COMMUTE WAS LONGER OR STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WAS INVOLVED. I HAVE TO TAKE MY WIFE'S MUCH OLDER CAR WHEN I NEED TO MAKE LONGER COMMUTES. I AM VERY UNSATISFIED. *TR
