DODGE Complaints

WITH THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IN THE AUTO POSITION THE LIGHT SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING A SLIGHT PANIC TO GET THEY SWITCH TO THE MANUAL POSITION

I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC WAITING FOR THE RED LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. MY RIGHT FOOT SLIPPED OFF THE BRAKE AND THE VAN IMMEDIATELY LUNGED FORWARD. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE ASAP, BUT THE CAR SITTING IN FRONT OF ME WAS HIT IN THE REAR. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS RENTAL VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD QUICKLY FOR NO REASON. I RESEARCHED OTHER INCIDENTS WITH THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE AND FOUND LOTS OF INCIDENTS THAT WERE VERY SIMILAR. SOME SURGED IN SPEED FOR NO REASON AND SOME LUNGED FORWARD FOR NO REASON; AS WELL AS MANY OTHER SCENARIO'S THAT WERE SIMILAR. SOME SAY IT RELATES TO A PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM AND FUEL PUMP AND OTHER REASONS WERE CITED.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND ALL LIGHTS WHEN OFF AND CAR SHUT OFF AND I HAD NO CONTROL I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE

AS DRIVING UP THE HIGHWAY MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER JERKED AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD THERE WAS A MESSAGE THAT SAID 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION SHUT OFF ENGINE TO ENGAGE PARK' MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS ALSO ON. I PULLED OVER BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK. I TRIED TO PULL BACK OFF TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED, TRAFFICS WAS APPROACHING AND THERE IS WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TRYING PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL TO HURRY AND MOVE BEFORE THE COMING TRAFFICK MADE IT TO ME, IT WAS AN 18 WHEELER. I COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD TODAY DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND I'M NOT WONDERING WHY THERE IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.
