Speed Sensor Problems of Dodge Challenger

P1dab-00,u1412,p0716. Vehicle has shown codes above for 5 plus months. Codes cause vehicle to shift between gear randomly. I have taken vehicle to dealership but probably was not resolved; the dealership stated the problem was the speed sensor, so the switched them out only to find out later it was not the problem. Vehicle is unsafe; on one occasion the vehicle shift from the 8th gear to the 3rd while on the freeway almost causing an accident. Please resolve issue before someone is gravely injured.

One of the speed sensor has stopped working, someone else I know is having the same problem on their Dodge charger.

4 July 2017, while driving at highway speeds, vehicle fault indicators showing problem with stability control system, abs system, and disabled cruise control. Faults cleared approximately 30 seconds later. 5 July 2017, vehicle again displayed same faults, however, faults remained latched (did not self clear). I contacted local dealership for service, fault was diagnosed on 6 July 2017 as a failed right front wheel speed sensor. Service department placed needed part on order, returned keys to me and arrangements were made to bring vehicle back to dealership for repair on 7 July 2017. While continuing on to place of work, faults returned, then cleared. At the end of day, 6 July, was approaching a stop sign at normal approach speeds and applied brakes. Front brakes initially operated as normal, then within a second or so, lost brake pressure. . . I felt the abs system release the brakes, causing me to exert enormous pressure on the brake pedal within a few feet of the stop sign to get the vehicle stopped from only a few mph. Oncoming traffic was 55 mph. After the vehicle stopped (barely). . Then the same faults appeared. From my point of view, the intermittent wheel speed sensor caused the front abs system to activate on a dry road, essentially disabling my front brakes while in the process of braking. This is not an expected failure mode. I understand onboard diagnostics indicating the problems above, however, it appears that if this problem takes place while braking, brake performance is compromised. This is now the second wheel speed sensor to be replaced in the last 6 months or so. From my perspective, that means that this is a high failure rate item (last one was on the right rear wheel), and if it happens while braking. . . I essentially lose braking at the precise moment brakes are needed. I consider this a design issue. Redundant sensors recommended for abs.

My 2009 Dodge Challenger r/t equipped with the automatic transmission started experiencing problems downshifting when approaching a stop. You wouldn't know until you press the gas to proceed down the road and barely move as the vehicle would be stuck in the highest gear. I would have to pull over, turn the vehicle off, and restart it to drive the vehicle. Luckily this didn't happen when trying to pull out into traffic as it would have a high tendency to create a collision. Transmission code for the input speed sensor and after researching it online, I found a mass number of complaints and repairs about this issue. It appears to be a mechanical defect that needs to be dealt with by fca and NHTSA due to the common occurrence is these vehicles. Replacing the input speed sensor which is part of an electronic module cost approximately $500 and corrected the problem.
