I WAS DRIVING MY CAR LIKE NORMAL FOR THE PAST 2/12 YEARS. IT'S A 2013 CHALLENGER 5.70. MY CAR WENT DEAD WHILE DRIVING. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR, BUT, THANK GOD I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING OR ANYONE. I RAN TESTS ON MY CAR BATTERY, IT'S GOOD. INTERESTING NOTE: I HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACE SIX MONTHS AGO ON A FACTORY RECALL. THE DODGE DEALER TOLD ME IT'S NOT THE ALTERNATOR, THOUGH REPLACED IT ANYWAY. THEY SAID IT'S THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND ELECTRIC PROBLEM DUE TO A WIRE NOT COMMUNICATING TO THE BUS OR COMPUTER. (DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS I'M NOT A CAR GUY) HOWEVER, I ALSO OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 THAT DID THE SAME THING TO ME ON THE FREEWAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH. COULD HAVE DIED BOTH TIMES.AT THIS POINT, I DON'T KNOW IT DODGE IS SIMPLY MAKING CHEAP PARTS OR DODGE SERVICE IS TRYING TO TURN A 2ND ALTERNATOR REPLACEMENT INTO A PROFIT. I SAY THIS BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTER, THEN RECONNECT IT TO PULL FORWARD ON THE TOW TRUCK NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THE CAR DIES WHEN THEY REASSEMBLE IT. I ALSO SAY THIS BECAUSE THEY ARE TELLING ME THE PUMP IS DAMAGED YET I'V HAD WORK DONE THERE BEFORE WITH NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. I'VE HAD WORK AND REPAIRS DONE INCLUDING SMOG CHECKS WITHIN THE LAST YEAR WITH NO NEGATIVE READINGS INDICATING A PROBLEM OR MISCOMMUNICATION. I SEE RECALLS ON THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM, POWER STEERING PUMP AND ALTERNATOR YET NONE BASED ON MY VIN. MEANWHILE BROWNING DODGE WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1800 BUCKS.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREE WAY, I NOTICED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A MINUTE ISSUE. HOWEVER, MY CAR STARTED JERKING, DECLINING SPEED ,AND BECAME HESITATE TO CONTINUE MOTION AS IF THE POWER OF MY CAR WAS ABOUT TO STOP. AFTER TEN MINUTES THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR AT A REDUCING SPEED. HOWEVER, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE SYMPTOMS CONTINUED AGAIN. AT THIS TIME I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT MY CAR NEEDS TO BE ON THE RECALL AS THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. MY LIGHT IS STILL ON AS OF 3/6/2017.

ABOUT 25% OF THE TIME, WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT 40 MPH AND GRADUALLY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR TO BEGIN A CLIMB UP A SLIGHT HILL, THE ENGINE RPM AND VEHICLE SPEED WILL NOT INCREASE, AND THE VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO RUN AT 40 MPH WITH ACCELERATOR POSITION INCREASING FROM 10% TO 80%. DURING THIS THROTTLE RESPONSE FAILURE, THE AUTO STICK SHIFT WAS USED TO DOWNSHIFT FROM 4TH TO 3RD GEAR, THE EVIC DISPLAY CHANGED TO 3RD GEAR BUT AND TRANSMISSION REMAINED IN 4TH. AFTER 8 SECONDS OF THROTTLE DELAY (TIMING MAY VARY), THE VEHICLE WILL DOWN SHIFT AND ACCELERATE. THIS UNPREDICTABLE THROTTLE RESPONSE HAS A POTENTIAL OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT IF THIS THROTTLE RESPONSE FAILURE OCCURS DURING A SITUATION OF PASSING OR AVOIDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DODGE DEALER ON NOV 2015 AND APR 2016, AND THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND CONCLUDED THAT THE VEHICLE IS FINE. THEY COULD NOT REPEAT THE FAILURE AND TOLD ME EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. DODGE WILL NOT, OR CANNOT FIX THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS THROTTLE RESPONSE FAILURE.

EDR SHOWS STEERING AT TRAFFIC CIRCLE BUT NO ACCELERATOR PEDAL INPUT DURING LAST FIVE SECONDS. ENGINEERS SAY PROBABLE CAUSE IS MALFUNCTION IN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL AND POORLY DESIGNED BRAKE-THROTTLE OVERRIDE.
