At least you didn't have the "throttle stuck" problem I read about somewhere else where the car got stuck at High RPMs and wouldn't stop. I have read about several of these problems now, both with the car being unable to stop as well as simply dying and sadly I won't be buying a challenger until it gets resolved. I'm hoping to hear of an actual recall so that dodge acknowledges the problem. So far every response I've heard from the dealers is "We can't find anything" or "it must have been a fluke".
I'm not much for life and death flukes.
Hmmm......
This is only the second issue I've heard of anything of this nature happening (and I regularly scan four Challenger Forums/Blogs). While I agree, something like this is a serious problem, I'd think with over 15,000 Challengers built and on the road, and this being
only the second one I've heard of with this type of problem, your chances of being afflicted IF you HAD a Challenger - any trim - would be less than .02%.
So if THAT'S what's holding you back from buying one, you should probably also know.......
In twenty years, if you don't wash / wax it too often, drive it during winter in snow and ice (with salt and calcium road treatments)...... it could develop rust.
