I was entering the freeway and getting up to speed, when I merge onto the freeway my car loss power and would not accelerate and doing the time it was high traffic time of day, and there was a big truck coming up behind me and the driver blew his horn and slammed his brakes to keep from hitting me from behind.I gave my car more gas and there was no acceleration, when I lifted my foot completely off the pedal and pushed it again then my car accelerated.it was a real scary moment not only for me but also for my daughter who was in the car with me.I made a appointment to bring it in to the Dodge dealer to get it checked, when I brought it in the service writter told me that it did the same thing with the tech when he took it for a test ride, and they told me it was my transmission torque converter.I ask if they encounter this problem before and he said that they had history reports where the transmission had to be replaced.I had also did some research online and found a page called Challenger forum, and there are some other Dodge Challenger owners who is also having the same problem.
Oct. 30,2018 wile making a 15 mph. Left turn on to las vegas blvd.in my 2013dodge Challenger SXT.

System says "ok". absolutly no warring lights are on.
The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle did not accelerate and also when the gear was put in reverse, the vehicle did not reverse. The ABS, the anti traction and the check-engine lights illuminated. The contact called the B&B automotive of fairless hills dealer (215-392-6326, 394 Lincoln hwy, fairless hills, pa 19030) and was told that there was no warranty. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.
The vehicle suddenly started smoking, immediately followed by fire while I was stopped at a red light in the middle of town. My 2013 Dodge Challenger only had 20,000 miles on it, and all service was done as recommended by Dodge, at a certified shop. I reported the issue to Dodge, and they denied any manufacturing defect, despite the fact that there is a recall for my model, because of known issues regarding alternators overheating, or short circuiting, causing thermal diode fatigue. The car was consumed by flames within minutes, and was deemed a total loss by my insurance company. I have not yet received a settlement.

The vehicle was in motion on the highway. The vehicle unexceptdly stopped accelerating on the highway causing me to put my hazard lights on as cars were in iin motion at a 70mph speed limit. I was able to pull over on the side of the road. I turned the car off in an attempt to turn the car back on. The car wouldn't turn back on and the car became disabled. I had to have my car towed.

This car has been a complete nightmare, and the worst car I have ever owned. When I first bought it was taken to the shop within the first month and they replaced the oil sending unit, then this year when driving at highway speed and when accelerating with the RPM going above 3 the car would loose power. I took it to the shop again and they didn't fix it but updated the transmission which resolved the problem for a little while. Well today the transmission started again doing the same thing. I will have to take this car back into the shop. I've owned this car since it was new and it currently has 60,250 miles. I was always a Dodge fan but I think this car has changed me to a different brand.
At first the car wouldn't start sof I had to.pump the brakes and force it to start up. Then I get it the vehicle and it is going nuts the lights are check engine light. It goes from full to empty and it's says the tcm is out or needs service
About 25% of the time, while driving on a city street at 40 mph and gradually pressing the accelerator to begin a climb up a slight hill, the engine RPM and vehicle speed will not increase, and the vehicle will continue to run at 40 mph with accelerator position increasing from 10% to 80%. during this throttle response failure, the auto stick shift was used to downshift from 4th to 3rd gear, the evic display changed to 3rd gear but and transmission remained in 4th. After 8 seconds of throttle delay (timing may vary), the vehicle will down shift and accelerate. This unpredictable throttle response has a potential of causing an accident if this throttle response failure occurs during a situation of passing or avoiding another vehicle. I have brought the vehicle back to the Dodge dealer on Nov 2015 and Apr 2016, and they took it for a test drive and concluded that the vehicle is fine. They could not repeat the failure and told me everything is normal. Dodge will not, or cannot fix the root cause of this throttle response failure.
I was driving normal speed at 60 when I proceeded to get over I push the gas a little bit the car RPM when high but the car did not speed up I looked at the dash the check engine light came on I took it to have it scanned at advance auto and auto zone they both gave me the same code of P0741 that is a transmission code I drive my car daily to work and home the check engine light stays on 2 days then go off for one day then back on if U accelerate then release the pedal it make a hard jerk from the rear end this is not the first problem I had I bought the car brand new in March 2013 and the window switch went out and 2 months ago the ac control went out and now this transmission problem not only that my fiance Jeep is 2014 with 29000 miles on it and the heated seats not working or the heat and don jackson in union city ga has horrible customer service that been trying to get parts for 2 months for the Jeep to someone that is paying 1100 a month in car payments from Dodge I should be treated respectfully
I was driving down the road at 50 miles per hour when my car suddenly died. I figured it was due to the alternator recall. After getting the car to the dealership they are saying there is water in the intake and I must have driven through high water. This car has never been through high water. I have read online that this has happened to other 2013 Dodge Challengers. This seems to be an ongoing issue. It could have caused a major accident. How can water get into a motor for no reason and cause it to die as you are driving" if you drive when it is raining or if you hit a puddle on the blacktop it is going to cause your car to just die" if wasn't raining when it happened to mine and there was no water on the road but it had rained earlier in the day maybe 4 hours prior to the car dying.
Was travelling on the freeway at about 55 to 60 mph, began to gently accelerate to pass car going in same direction on freeway. Suddenly the engine RPM increased rapidly, but car did not speed up, then suddenly it appeared to slam into gear. Person travelling in passenger seat began to look all around as he thought we had been hit. Again, this does not occur with pedal to the floor acceleration, just normal driving. Car has done this many times before, it slams back into gear so hard it stalls the engine. Once in a curve it caused the vehicle to spin out.. I have taken it to dealer twice before but was not able to demonstrate the problem. On last visit I took transmission guy from dealer with me and was able to get the vehicle to do a slight version of what it does at highway speeds. He stated that he wanted to check the K2 valve. He told me that he had 5 vehicles that he had found problems with the seals. Car is currently in the dealer having this checked.
