2014 DODGE CHARGER Power Train Problems

I HAVE A 2014 DODGE CHARGER SXT WITH THE 3.6 V6 ENGINE AND THE NEW 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY; WHEN IT IS COLD, THE ENGINE WILL REV-UP BETWEEN SHIFTS, AND IT HAS SEVERE DOWNSHIFTS. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE,(AMBIENT AND VEHICLE), IS NORMAL THE UP-SHIFT PROBLEM GOES AWAY BUT THE DOWNSHIFTING PROBLEM STILL REMAINS,(AT TIMES)! I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK FOR REPAIRS 3 TIMES ,(FOR THIS PROBLEM), AND NOTHING HAS HELPED. THIS IS A VERY NICE VEHICLE AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO KEEP IT AND ENJOY IT , BUT THIS PROBLEM IS SURE RUINING AN OTHERWISE NICE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN VERY TROUBLESOME SINCE IT`S INTRODUCTION AND I AM WONDERING IF A RECALL IS PENDING?? IF NOT, IT SHOULD BE!!!!!!! THE LAST TIME I LET THE VEHICLE WITH MY DEALER , THEY SAID THAT THEY "COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM",...

THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE WAS COLD AND IT HAD BEEN SITTING IN A PARKING LOT FOR FOUR DAYS. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC FROM A TOLL BOOTH. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND IT LOST SPEED BUT THE RPMS WERE INCREASING. THIS WENT ON FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE SECONDS AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC. I DROVE FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES AT 70 MPH (AFTER CALLING A SERVICING DEALER WHO TOLD ME I WOULD BE OKAY DRIVING THE CAR UNLESS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH) THEN STOPPED FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. AT THE NEXT TWO TRAFFIC LIGHTS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITH CARS BACKED UP BEHIND ME AND HONKING. THE MPH WERE AT 15 BUT THE RPMS WERE AT 2200. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT FIVE SECONDS AT EACH LIGHT THEN HAPPENED AGAIN...

I WAS DRIVING A RENTED 2014 DODGE CHARGER ON A RURAL ROAD AND NEEDED TO TURN AROUND. I BEGAN A THREE POINT TURN AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION IN TO REVERSE THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT GO IN TO THE REVERSE POSITION. AS A RESULT I WAS STUCK CROSSWISE ACROSS THE ROAD, IN DANGER OF BEING STRUCK BROADSIDE BY ANY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY THERE WASN'T ANY TRAFFIC. I CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT TO SHIFT IN TO REVERSE AND AFTER SEVERAL MORE ATTEMPTS I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO. THIS WAS JUST ONE OF SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE WEEK I RENTED THIS VEHICLE THAT I WAS UNABLE TO PUT THE SHIFTER IN TO THE GEAR I NEEDED, WHETHER IT BE DRIVE OR REVERSE. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FLAW. THE SHIFTER ON THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY VAGUE AND FREQUENTLY OVERSHOOTS THE DESIRED POSITION. THE SHIFTER SEEMS TO BE ELECTRIC RATHER THAN...

EVER SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE THERE HAS BEEN A CLUNKING NOISE AND THE WHOLE CAR MOVES WHENEVER PUTTING IN GEAR OR PUTTING IN PARK. AND THERE IS A LOUD CLUNK. I WENT TO PURCHASE GAS AT A SHELL STATION( I ONLY USE SHELL PREMIUM GAS) AND WENT INSIDE TO PAY FOR THE GAS. I CAME BACK HIT THE FUEL DOOR RELEASE BUTTON AND WENT TO THE PUMP. I WENT TO PLACE THE NOZZLE IN MY TANK AND THE METAL PLATE THAT COVERS THE FUEL TANK WOULDNT NOT MOVE. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND HE CAME TO HELP ME AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO GET THE PLATE OPEN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THAT HAD I TRIED TO PUT DIESEL IN MY TANK. I AM A FORMER TRUCK DRIVER AND KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIESEL AND...

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, MY TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP/SKIP AND STARTED TO SHIFT VERY ROUGHLY FROM THAT POINT. AFTER A FEW VISITS TO MY DEALER AND AFTER THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR A WEEK, IT WAS THEN DETERMINED THAT THE VALVE BODY INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACED, AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT GIVE RENTAL CARS OUT DUE TO THE VEHICLE STILL BEING DRIVABLE. (WTF?) THE PART NEEDED TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION IS ON BACKORDER AND CHRYSLER CURRENTLY DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE IT IN BECAUSE IT HAS TO COME FROM A VENDOR, SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A $40000 PAPER WEIGHT IN MY DRIVEWAY UNTIL CHRYSLER GETS OFF THEIR SORRY BUTTS TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. DUE TO THIS PART BEING ON BACKORDER, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON PROBLEM THAT I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE A RECALL. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND DEALER STATED THAT IT'S AN O2 SENSOR MALFUNCTION. DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS. THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY REPLACED ALL O2 SENSORS. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AFTER 1 WEEK. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE SOFTWARE HAD TO BE UPGRADED. AFTER 3 DAYS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS HAS TO BE CHANGE. SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO ORDER PARTS AND AS SOON AS IT ARRIVES. HE WILL CONTACT US. AFTER 4 DAYS, WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE SERVICE PERSON THAT TOOK CARE OF US FROM DAY 1 HAD BEEN TERMINATED. SPOKE TO A NEW SERVICE PERSON AND HE STATED THAT HE 'S NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. WE...
