VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE TRAVELING AT 40+ MPH I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ALL THE WAY, THE DODGE CHARGER DID NOT REACT AND KEPT ACCELERATING AT THE NORMAL RATE BEFORE I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. SINCE IT WAS NOT REACTING TO MY INPUT, I TOOK MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE VEHICLE KEPT ACCELERATING AT A CONSTANT RATE. THEN AFTER TWO SECONDS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT FULL THROTTLE, AND CONTINUED TO SPEED UP AT FULL THROTTLE. BRAKES WERE PRESSED BUT SEEMED TO HAVE ZERO EFFECT ON THE VEHICLE'S UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION. FINALLY I DECIDED TO PULL OVER TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND IT CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE. I THEN SHIFTED INTO PARK AND PRESSED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES WHILE THE ENGINE WAS STILL ACCELERATING. FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, LUCKILY, NO CAR WAS IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TIME TO PULL THE CAR OVER BEFORE I CAME TO THE UPCOMING RED LIGHT/INTERSECTION. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK SPRING HOOK BROKE OFF WHICH RESULTED IN LOCKING OF THE SHIFT LEVER IN "PARK" POSITION. THE ISSUE IS VERY COMMON FOR DODGE AND CHRYSLER MODELS AND IT IS COVERED BY RECALL K39 FOR DODGE CHARGER MODELS MADE BETWEEN 2005 AND 2007. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED INCLUSION OF THE DESCRIBED CONDITION IN THE K39 RECALL STATING THAT MY CAR WAS MADE FEW MONTHS BEYOND THE K39 RECALL DATES. FROM THE MANUFACTURER K39 LETTER( HTTP://WWW.CHRYSLER.COM/WEBSELFSERVICE/PDF/K39.PDF) -TO PROVE OUR COMMITMENT TO QUALITY, THE COMPANY IS INVESTING IN AND PRIORITIZING IMPROVEMENTS FOR EVERY VEHICLE THAT WE BUILD. AS PART OF THAT COMMITMENT, WE ARE ALSO TARGETING EXISTING VEHICLES ON THE ROAD TODAY AND CONTACTING OUR CUSTOMERS TO PROVIDE THESE QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS, AT NO CHARGE, THAT WILL HELP TO IMPROVE YOUR OWNERSHIP SATISFACTION -' HOGWASH. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS IS NOW THE THIRD TIME THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE IN GEAR. GALEANA IN FT MYERS HAS SERVICED THE VEHICLE AFTER EVERY INCIDENT. WE HAVE BEEN OUT OF A VEHICLE FOR AN ACCUMULATIVE OF OVER THIRTY DAYS, HAD TO PAY FOR RENTALS, TAXES, GAS TO GET TO AND FROM THE DEALER AND BOGUS REPAIR COSTS. THE FIRST SERVICE CHARGE WAS THAT OF 500 HUNDRED DOLLARS, WHICH THE VEHICLE STALLED A FEW DAYS LATER AND THE TECHS SAID THE SERVICE THEY HAD DONE WOULD NOT HAVE FIXED THE STALLING!!???WHAT??. THEY THEN REPLACED THE RELAY FUSE WORTH FIFTEEN DOLLARS THE 2ND TIME IT WAS SERVICED, THE VEHICLE STALLED TWO DAYS AFTER HAVING IT BACK AND WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO THE HOSPITAL IN THE VEHICLE! I NEED THIS DOCUMENTED BECAUSE THIS TIME DODGE CORPORATE RESPONDED IN LESS THAN TWELVE HOURS TO GALEANA TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED AND A MAIN WIRE REPLACED AND IT HASN'T STALLED SINCE, BUT NOW I WANT REIMBURSE!!! *TR

STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN IN GEAR AND VEHICLE IS MOVING, REVERSE AND DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WILL SEIZE, CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND SPEED. WHILE THIS VEHICLES VIN NUMBER IS NOT RECOGNIZED ON THE RECALL LIST, WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL RECALL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE WHICH DODGE DID EXCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR BY PAYING THE REPAIR COST. I WANT TO DOCUMENT THAT 3 BODY SHOPS INCLUDING A CERTIFIED DODGE DEALER CANNOT DIAGNOSE THIS VEHICLES SEIZING PROBLEM. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME IT IS GOING INTO THE SHOP FOR SEIZING WHILE IN GEAR. IF SOMEONE IS INJURED IN THIS VEHICLE WHEN IT MALFUNCTIONS I HOLD DODGE JEEP AND CHRYSLER FULLY LABIAL FOR NEGLIGENCE AND POSSIBLE CONSPIRACY OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE OF VEHICLES WITH FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND FAILURE TO DOCUMENT ALL SUCH VEHICLES BY LEAVING THEIR VIN NUMBERS OFF THE RECALL FORMS. *TR
