Having multiple problems with my Charger which only has 7300 miles on it. Like others have mentioned, when at a complete stop, the car will jump forward. Feels like transmission shifting late. Then when driving and getting up to speed, the rpms will jump up but the car does not speed up. The last time the rpms increased, I quickly took my foot off the gas pedal, and the rpms continued to rise to 5K. Both issues happen sporadically. Have taken to dealer 2X. First time they had for 2 days, reprogrammed the transmission and said they fixed it. I took it home over the weekend and both issues still happened. Took car back in on Monday and this time they had it for 4 days and gave me a rental car. Today I was told that Chrysler is aware of the problem (valve body separate plate part) and is working on a fix. The part/fix was supposed to be available at end of may/early June, but since it's already 6/5, obviously that date was not an accurate time frame. (star case no. S1421000013 date 4/9/14) the dealership states they cannot do anything to fix this until the part is available. They could not let me keep the rental car (warranty coverage time max out), and gave me back my Charger to drive until they can fix it. I worry about the problems and what else could go wrong, or if the rpms will cause problems with my speed, cause a wreck, or just cause further damage to the trans/engine. Not a happy new car owner.

When stopping the vehicle, the vehicle lurches badly right before it stops. The dealer says there is not a fix until the end of may/early June. We were told to pick up the car and continue to drive it until somebody notifies us. It is very alarming every time you go to stop.

Chrysler issued a recall on my vehicle in December 2013 but as of today cannot tell me when they will know how to fix it. I believe that this is unreasonable. Also, they have not once told me whether or not it is safe to continue to drive my vehicle. I believe at this point I should be entitled to a full refund on this vehicle.
