My 2009 Challenger caught on fire taking with it my garage! car was parked and as soon as the ignition key was turned, smoke was coming out of car from front side passenger area near front wheel/hood area. Within mins the car was up in flames along with my garage. I cant understand what caused this to happen. Car was running great! just one day it decided to ignite in flames. I cant explain it. As a woman trying to figure out what went wrong is even worse. Dodge wont help me. Ive tried contacting them and I dont hear from them.
I own a 2010 Challenger r/t. While driving at approx. 30mph, I slowed to make a left turn and vehicle lights went out, loss of all power, and engine turned off. I coasted to curb and without touching the key, the vehicle restarted right back up. Again the next day while pulling out of a parking lot onto a busy street, vehicle shut off while turning left, except I was crossing the lane of oncomming traffic. Again, it restarted with no help from me. No accident caused, but an oncomming vehicle came to about 3 feet of my drivers door before stopping. (40mph street) I read that this is occurring a lot with 08-10 Challengers and would love it fixed before my 17y/o daughter takes it out and gets t-boned and injured or worse.
Vehicle has a severe throttle lad when in 4 to 6 gear when letting off pedal then returning back into throttle.
Vehicle intermittently stalls. I have about 6500 miles on the car and it has happened about a month ago and again today. I took vehicle directly to the dealer when it happened today. They are still working on it. Almost total loss of control of vehicle when it stalls. . . . Extremely difficult to brake or turn steering wheel. . . . And I am 6' 3" tall and over 200 lbs. Couldn't imagine if this happened to my wife when she is driving the car.
