What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 dodge charger. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle suddenly shut off and the driver was unable to steer or stop the vehicle before crashing into a tractor trailer and a guardrail. The driver sustained an injured back during the incident, but did not require medical attention. A police report was not filed.
While in motion the vehicle will shift down so the engine revs up until the brake is pressed. This happens at different speeds. It has happened while driving in the city and on the highway. The transmission seems to be the cause of the problem since it starts shifting gears on it's own. The vehicle has now been doing this since 2/16/19 and has done it almost every day since.
