After the PCM / tcm cruise control recall service, the transmission has not been the same. The shifting is all off and the transmission lunges and clunks. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealer several times. They report the transmission is functioning properly. When clearly it is not. The car lunges forward when coming to a stop.

While in motion the vehicle will shift down so the engine revs up until the brake is pressed. This happens at different speeds. It has happened while driving in the city and on the highway. The transmission seems to be the cause of the problem since it starts shifting gears on it's own. The vehicle has now been doing this since 2/16/19 and has done it almost every day since.

The transmission seems to be revving and slowing itself down around the 30 mph area. There is a jerking motion around this speed as well. It is acting like it wants to shift, but can't. when I get up past 28-31 mph the problem goes away, but I am afraid that it might stick as some point and cause an accident! I have heard it is a known transmission problem from a mechanic from Dodge. I know it asks when did this happen, well, it happens everyday I drive it!

Was driving on a clear day when, my traction control went on and off by itself and the ABS went off by itself causing me to lose control, it was hard to pull over with the ABS going on and off on their own. AWD system also went on and off on its own. Brought car to dealer the very next morning they kept car the whole day and was told it was fine and that they got no codes. I had test the car for codes after the incident had taken place and I got the following coeds. U0415 ' ABS, C147B front axle disconnected sensor. Yet the dealer gave me the car that I still under warranty back, with their own invoice stating no codes. I test the car for codes when I got from the car dealer and some of the codes were cleared, expect for ABS U0415. The car is clearly not fine and the AWD system is still not working the way it should. Also the car when park rolls everything time about a foot forward or back pending on slope of street. The road was a four lane road with two lanes East and two lanes West and I was going straight at about 35 mph, as I had just recently left from a red light.

I went for a routineoil change by a reputable dealer. I was notified I had an oil leak. After finding the source of the problem. I was notified I will need a new oil filter housing unit. This is strange. At the time I didn't notice any oil leakage. I was told the housing will hold around a quart of oil before you know its leaking. I could have burned my moter up. No lights came on. I spent $450 getting it repaired.

On January of this year (2017) I had new tires replaced on my 2014 Dodge Charger rt AWD. Since then I have been having a shimmy on my steering wheel at around 60mph. Been taking it to the dealer ship where I purchased it new. Brought vehicle in to have everything check regarding "shimmy." $1,500 dollars later till this date (10-24-17) dealership could not find problem. Took vehicle to a "privately owned state certified shop" and today (10-24-17)...they found the "shimmy" problem. The whole entire "driveshaft / slip joints etc. Are loose and coming apart. Via phone conversation. Have not picked vehicle up as of today yet from place. When looked on this site for "recall" regarding this problem using my VIN # no information came up regarding my vehicle. Vehicle has less then 50,000 miles on it. Found out "recalls" on 2014 - 2017 Dodge / Chrysler AWD are on the website. Again however...when I typed in my VIN.# on this site...no information regarding my problems / situation to said VIN # shimmy happens at 50-60mph traveling... with no braking at all.

Dodge Charger was taken in to certified Dodge service center for same problem 3 different times before the 4th time the problem occurred, which resulted in a car accident. Main problem: Gear shift/lever sticks and has to be forced into desired gear. Also, when check engine light comes on, car stays in park and will not shift into any other gear. On July 18th, 2017, car was started, check engine light appeared and car would not shift out of park. Car was turned off and then restarted. Check engine light was still on but car was able to shift into drive. Drove approximately 200 feet to stop sign located at highway 70 and ar-88. Oncoming traffic from the left (traveling East) was approximately 2,000 feet back leaving enough space and time to cross intersection. As car was crossing intersection (I was attempting to go West) the car stalled and the car went into park and would not shift into any other gear. Because car would not move, shift into any other gear etc., oncoming car traveling East slammed into driver side rear end. Oncoming car did not realize that our car (Dodge Charger) was not able to move and attempted to swerve but still collided with back end of car. Had the car not malfunctioned, the attempt to cross intersection would have been successful therefore no accident would have occurred. Again, car has been taken into a certified Dodge service center multiple times for this exact problem and multiples times it was claimed "fixed" or "problem could not be duplicated". gear shift on this car has had problems from the beginning and has only worsened over time. Driver of Dodge Charger suffered back trauma from accident and is seeking medical care as well. Updated 08/02/17 updated 10/13/17
