general problems of the 2013 Dodge Challenger

While driving on the highway, multiple lights began to flash across the dashboard. The odometer moved freely back and forth without giving an accurate measurement of speed. (video too large to upload).

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.

Saw light on dash (etc malfunction indicator light) and next memory is being at hospital. During the 60-90 seconds after I saw light witnesses watched my 2013 Challenger r/t accelerate up to high 90s and ultimately crash through fence and into house. Edr shows steering at traffic circle but no accelerator pedal input during last five seconds. Engineers say probable cause is malfunction in electronic throttle control and poorly designed brake-throttle override.
