What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owned a 2006 dodge charger. While idling at a stop sign, the vehicle accelerated independently and struck the rear of another vehicle. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a tow yard. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.
Our problem still has not been fixed. The car continues to "die in flight." I have uploaded a video to youtube. [link removed] this occurred while attempting to merge onto the interstate. The rpms jump up and down. The oil light and the electronic throttle control light flash and ding. The check engine light came on. This is going to cause an accident and the dealership says there is nothing wrong with the car.
