If you have your Challenger now or it was shipped prior to today and they have not shipped any since Tuesday you should have it checked before you leave the dealer. Here is Email that someone sent me asking about the issue and here my responce email.


Can you find out what was the fix? I had to wait until late yesterday to pick mine up because they said they had to replace a fuse. If it is a pinch point I wonder how a new fuse what address this issue?



First
Ask them what fuse they replaced was it the one that factory removes during shipping that keeps the car in limp mode and only lets it go 20MPH? This is in case someone steel's the car it will only go 20MPH

Second
Ask them if the fuse was missing that is in the car to replace the limp mode fuse. The reason you want to ask this question is if a fuse was blown in another area they probably replaced it with the limp mode fuse because it was the only available fuse in the car. and it is probably the wrong fuse for what was blown

Third
Ask them if the would not shift into gear when the shifter was moved. If that is the case the harness was cut.

Here is the fix and you need your dealer to do this ASAP anyway.
When the emergency brake is all of the way down a piece of the mechanism under the dash on the left side by the A frame smashes the harness and cuts into the wire that operates the shifter. Before you let the dealer fix this you need to climb under your driver side dash and set the Emergency brake and see if it hitting the harness. If it is cut I would demand a new harness. If it is not cut the fix is to wrap the harness 2 two times over with a thick Mastic. Mastic is a sticky tape that prevents cuts and punchers if applied correctly. Then you push the harness back up through the slot. and you are done. They say it is a 5 min fix.

That's pretty sweet. All the speculation about values and such aside, I'd feel pretty sweet if I had #25 Challenger built.
