What 2007 Dodge Charger owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Vehicle on three isolated occasions over the past week has lunges forward while stopped at a red traffic light, another instance at a stop sign and as of today while waiting in line at a local coffee shop drive through. On each occasion my vehicle was at a complete stop for roughly a minute, my foot was on the brake and suddenly the vehicle began to self rev to 3500 RPM. On all occasions I had to immedialty place the vehicle in neutral to prevent catastrophic endangerment to myself, surrounding vehicles and persons. This condition is a detriment to he safe operation of the vehicle. However dodge refuses to resolve the issue.
While driving my vehicle the check engine light and the esp bas light turned on and my car went into a mode where it only allowed me to go 35mph and I took my vehicle to a auto shop and the tech told me that he put it on the computer and he advised me that the engine code lost communication with TCM, the trans code read internal control module rom, ABS read streering angle sensor not activated. He advised me that I may have to get a integrated control module if this happens again.

My 07 dodge charger r/t stalls randomly causing lost of power and steering wheel lock. Very dangerous on the highway, me and my family could of been killed. I would like this to be a recall as all dodge dealerships are saying its not a recall. I found on many forums with people dealing with the stall issue on the vehicle the appropriate action is to reflash the power control module, but the dealership refuse and tells me to call chrysler where they as well refuse. I am getting tired of dodge this has happen to me about 7 times since my purchase in july 2014. Please help the federal safety agency.
I was driving down the highway after getting gas when my car cut completely off luckily I was in the slown lane and no cars was coming .I got to crank back up but it drove for a little and cut off again,so I left it there and when the tow guy brought it to my house so I went to test drive it and it worked fine.and I notice when I got gas the next time that it happens when I get gas.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge charger. After refueling the vehicle and driving approximately 25 MPH, the instrument panel gauges malfunctioned and stopped operating. The PCM, TCM, bcm, and ABS sensors illuminated. In addition, the vehicle suddenly began to accelerate and then slow down repeatedly as the driver released the accelerator pedal. The dealer stated that the PCM, TCM, and bcm needed to be updated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was unavailable.
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.
