Automatic Transmission Torque Converter problems of the 2013 Dodge Challenger

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.
