The vehicle had a recall about the the PCM so I took it to a local dealer to have it repaired and after I felt as if nothing were done to fix my car so I took it to another dealer about an hour and a half away and when I got my car back the check engine light was on and the guy didn't know what he was talking about giving false information about my car and tells me I need a new transmission so even then I still know nothing was done to fix my car my PCM is getting worse and now affecting. My transmission control unit shifting. The car won't go into first gear and when going into 5th gear it kicks and whiplashes me.

4 July 2017, while driving at highway speeds, vehicle fault indicators showing problem with stability control system, ABS system, and disabled cruise control. Faults cleared approximately 30 seconds later. 5 July 2017, vehicle again displayed same faults, however, faults remained latched (did not self clear). I contacted local dealership for service, fault was diagnosed on 6 July 2017 as a failed right front wheel speed sensor. Service department placed needed part on order, returned keys to me and arrangements were made to bring vehicle back to dealership for repair on 7 July 2017. While continuing on to place of work, faults returned, then cleared. At the end of day, 6 July, was approaching a stop sign at normal approach speeds and applied brakes. Front brakes initially operated as normal, then within a second or so, lost brake pressure...I felt the ABS system release the brakes, causing me to exert enormous pressure on the brake pedal within a few feet of the stop sign to get the vehicle stopped from only a few mph. Oncoming traffic was 55 mph. After the vehicle stopped (barely)..then the same faults appeared. From my point of view, the intermittent wheel speed sensor caused the front ABS system to activate on a dry road, essentially disabling my front brakes while in the process of braking. This is not an expected failure mode. I understand onboard diagnostics indicating the problems above, however, it appears that if this problem takes place while braking, brake performance is compromised. This is now the second wheel speed sensor to be replaced in the last 6 months or so. From my perspective, that means that this is a high failure rate item (last one was on the right rear wheel), and if it happens while braking...I essentially lose braking at the precise moment brakes are needed. I consider this a design issue. Redundant sensors recommended for ABS.

New 2015 Dodge Challenger purchased with 67 miles on it. Vehicle experienced "stuck" RPM's at 23 and 51 mph. Hard shifts. Hard transitions. Shuttering in the transmission. Inability to shift out of 3500 RPM while accelerating onto the highway. I was at a dead stop attempting to get into the highway lane [no onramp area to merge] and the car only went to 51 mph and would not accelerate any more. The transmission stayed at 3500 RPM. I had a passenger take a video of the issue with my camera phone to show the dealership the issue. Rally mode is even worse. Another car on safercar.gov has the same issue, same model, same year. I have not even made my first payment on it to Chrysler capital. I have an open "star" case with Dodge customer care and I have gone through two case managers already. The case manager as of today told me, that they are going to tell the dealer to drop the transmission and check the valve body for excess wear or other issues. The car has been at the dealer 3 times in the the 4 weeks I have assumed control/leased the car. This last time will make 9 days at the dealer. There is a systemic issue with these vehicles. Side note.mid dash vent clicks--refuses to close. Another dealership ordered the part for that--electrical issues all around with the 2015 Dodge Challenger SXT.
