The 2007 dodge charger seized while in gear; loss of control and speed; locked steering wheel,no acceleration,while moving at 3mph in reverse once and while merging onto I-75 @ ~8mph two other times all within 5 weeks of each other but with no indicator warning dash lights illuminating.neither of the auto mechanics could find a problem.the vehicle hasn't seized up, but the vehicle's check engine light and electronic throttle control indicator warning lights came on last week.the dodge charger manual says if the electronic throttle control light comes on, to discontinue use of the vehicle until an authorized dealer can evaluate the problem.july 7th 2014 the vehicle went to a certified dealer to be diagnosed. They said they couldn't find a reason for the lights being on.sure enough they ran me up a 900 dollar bill consisting of the following repairs:filter tr 21170001/sealer no 01081003/fluid atf 01081018/antifreeze 01081004/connector 09004009. I was told by the service manager these were the repairs needed: water outlet housing/transmission hydraulic service w/ programming/air filter/ fuel system cleaning we picked the vehicle up july 10th 2014 from dealership, drove it directly home.my girlfriend drove the vehicle 30 miles to work july 12th 2014,after an 8 hour shift she started the dodge charger letting it run idle for 5 minutes before exiting the parking lot.the vehicle was brought to a stop before entering the interstate. When she tried to accelerate the vehicle did not move or make a revving sound, the steering wheel was locked tight but hot air was continuing to blow from vents.no indicator lights were present before during or after the event. The vehicle hadn't physically acted up since the first 3 times 7 months ago, so we immediately called the dealer and she drove it directly there.

It was a hot day over 90f. I started the car. The speedometer cluster did not work. All the lights including engine light, esp, break, traction control was on. I turned the car off and restarted with the same issue. I let the engine warm up and then restarted the car with the same issue. I started to drive home, the instrument cluster did not work, speedometer showed 0mph. I took it to a local mechanic, he told me to re-flash the computer and change the speedometer cluster.

I was on I-495 leaving long island ny , driving around 50-55 MPH when my 07 dodge charger 2.7 liter turned off on the extremely busy freeway. Im usually in the fastlane , but this particular day I was traveling in the far right lane. So no damage was done. There are no warning indicators or warnings of this problem that occurs , before or after. There has also been numerous times that the vehicle has turned off while attempting to leave on a green light. That has almost caused me many rear end accidents. I have taken my car to many mechanics including the dodge dealership and no one could seem to find the problem. There are many others on the dodge charger forum with the same problem , and feel the same dangers that could be caused if this problem is not fixed or at least identified. If all dodge chargers have this problem , it could cause many defect related accidents. There is no check engine warning and the car runs fine until it unexpectedly shuts off. I have spent over $800 for test and other wishful repairs with still no answer to fix the problem. Check the dodge charger forum. I didn't bother to sign up because there was no solution.
