What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge challenger. The contact stated that the second gear shift would pop out of gear, causing sudden acceleration. The contact crashed into storage unit as a result of the failure. The contact sustained a fractured toe and leg injuries, and was transported to the hospital. The front and left side of the vehicle was damaged and the vehicle was towed to a body shop. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was contacted and an inspector was sent to inspect the failure of the vehicle.
I've had the same issue as many have described when your challenger loses all power steering and braking ability while making a right turn at low speeds. Luckily I was pulling into a car wash when this happened and not at my sons elementary school where the deadly potential of killing school kids was there...by the way I was on the way to pick up my kid when I made a last minute choice to get a quick wash. So as stated by everyone else here, put the car in park an was able to start right back up afterwards.
