2014 DODGE CHALLENGER Power Train Problems

I was entering onto the highway and accelerating up to speed. When the car suddenly jerked multiple times, the vehicle did not accelerate, but the RPMs redlined. I then lost power while entering the highway. The vehicle would not restart, so I pulled onto the shoulder of the interstate. Almost being hit multiple times by other motor vehicles. I attempted to restart the car without any success. The vehicle was towed home to my residency, until I could have it towed to a mechanics shop for further diagnoise. The vehicle has not restarted in over 3 weeks now.

MY VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION RED LIGHT 7-3-20. MANAGING TO GET IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP I WAS TOLD MY TRANSMISSION IS NO GOOD. MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED IN 1-2020. MY CAR WAS INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSIS TEST WERE PERFORMED ON IT AND NEVER DETECTED ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION DURING 2019 OVER THREE DIFFERENT TIMES BECAUSE OF MY CONCERNS ABOUT HOW MY CAR WAS DRIVING. UNDER THE DEALERSHIP POSSESSION THEY FAILED TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEMS THAT EXISTED WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION NEVER MAKING THE APPROPRIATE REPAIRS OR REPLACING PARTS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I KNEW MY CAR WAS NOT DRIVING PROPERLY THAT'S WHY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EVERY TIME THEY FAILED TO DETECT THE PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION ALLEGING THAT THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS AND CLAIMS TO HAVE FIX PROBLEMS THEY DID SEE BUT NEVER ADDRESSING THE TRUE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION KEEPING ME UNINFORMED ABOUT...

ON DRIVE HOME FROM PURCHASING VEHICLE WE NOTICED A LOUD CLUNKING IN THE REAR END WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. CALLED DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. SALES MANAGER SAID IT WAS NORMAL, THEY ALL DO THAT. TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE, TECH TEST DROVE IT AND SAID IT WAS NOT NORMAL & SEEMED TO BE PROBLEM IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. WHEN BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIRS THEY ONLY UPDATED COMPUTER SYSTEM. PROBLEM PERSISTED WITH LOUD CLUNK AND HARD SHIFTING AT ABOUT 1500 RPM AND SLOWING AND ENGAGING GAS AT LOWER SPEEDS, TYPICALLY BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. TOOK BACK IN, AFTER SOME TIME INVESTIGATING AND COMING UP WITH NO DIAGNOSIS THEY CONTACTED MANUFACTURERS "STAR CENTER" AND WERE ADVISED IT WAS A SHIFT BINDING PROBLEM IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THEY REPLACED THE VALVE BODY & RESET THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT ADAPTIVE. PROBLEM STILL PERSIST WHILE THE DEALERSHIP & MANUFACTURER INSISTS IT MEETS MANUFACTURER SPECS. CONCERN IS WITH...

I AM WANTING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW LONG THIS PART IS TAKING TO FIX THE RECALL P60 ALTERNATOR PROBLEM. CHRYSLER KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM JULY LAST YEAR, FINALLY ISSUED A RECALL END OF NOVEMBER AND STATES THAT THERE IS NO PART TO FIX AT CURRENT TIME. MY CHALLENGER IS AN EVERYDAY DRIVER. I DRIVE ON INTERSTATES AND HWYS EVERYDAY. KNOWING MY CAR COULD STALL AT ANYTIME WITHOUT WARNING ISN'T A GOOD FEELING TO HAVE EVERYDAY. THIS COULD CAUSE INJURIES OR EVEN WORSE FATALITIES ON THE INTERSTATES IF THIS OCCURS. I THINK MANUFACTURER HAS HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO GET A PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY NOW. I HAVE TRIED CALLING THE HOTLINE NUMBER ON THE RECALL AND THEY JUST SAY THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. I'M SORRY BUT IF THIS IS SOMETHING THEY MAKE EVERYDAY IN A PLANT THEY SHOULD OF ALREADY HAD THE...

I PURCHASED MY 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON JANUARY 6TH 2014. THIS WAS MY DREAM CAR AND I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD AFFORD ONE. SO IT SADDENS ME TO HAVE TO GO TO THIS EXTREME TO GET SOME INVOLVEMENT ON A ISSUE THAT IS BEING IGNORED. MY FIRST SERVICE WAS ON FEBRUARY 11TH.I TOOK THE CAR IN BECAUSE OF ENGINE NOISE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER THINKING THAT WAS THE NOISE. ON MAY 31ST AT 5,000 MILES THE DEALER REPLACED THE LIFTERS ON THE CAR. THESE DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE AND IT WAS GETTING LOUDER. YOU CAN HEAR IT INSIDE THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALER AT AROUND 10,000 MILES WITH THE SAME NOISE COMPLAINT ON NOVEMBER 8TH. I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE AFTER NO RESOLUTION. THEY REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALER TO DO A DIAGNOSIS ON THE...

BRAND NEW CAR DELIVERED HAD A TICKING SOUND ONLY WHILE DRIVING AT APROX 1800 RPM'S AND ABOVE.. COMPLAINED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD "NORMAL" FOR NEW CAR UNTIL ENGINE BREAK-IN. WEEKS LATER STAR CASE [XXX] PERFORMED ON CAR TO REMOVE TABS LEFT ON LIFTERS AT ENGINE ASSEMBLY. TABS REMOVED, NO RELIEF FROM TICKING. CHRYSLER REP AUTHORIZED DEALER TO CHANGE REGULAR OIL TO SRT PENZOIL 0W40 FULL SYNTHETIC WITH COST BEING BILLED TO CHRYSLER FOR NEXT 5 YEARS. TICKING IS STILL HEARD INSIDE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. DEALER REFUSES TO SERVICE CAR FOR "TICKING" ENGINE. I WAS TOLD DODGE WOULD NOT PAY FOR THEIR TIME TO CHECK THE CAR. I TOOK CAR OUT OF STATE TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO WAS NOT ABLE TO REPAIR TICKING PER DODGE. THIS IS NOT THE HEMI TICK. SOME CUSTOMERS ARE GETTING THEIR CARS REPAIRED, OTHERS ARE BEING BRUSHED OFF AS "NORMAL". SOME HAVE HAD ENGINES REPLACED...
