Took car to the dearlership for tune-up;and transmission service on march13, 2013; on April 17, 2013 the car totally shutdown as I turned into the gas station. I got it started, it jerked as if it was choking,I managed to get to the dearlership and it shut down again,just before I made it up to the service lane at the dearlership. I was told that the rear axle seals were leaking, which I had repaired,also that an updated memory chip should have been installed in March,so that was done. Pickup my car on April 18, 2013 and while sitting in traffic, the car was shaking and felt as though it was about to cutoff. I put in park while at the traffic light and pressed on the gas to raise the engine;as I turned into my driveway, it stalled again. I took it back to the dealership,they intitally said there was a coil that was misfiring but the diagnostic machine could not detect it. I picked my car up on April 25, 2013 only to have something electircally draining my battery down to 4 or 5 volts every other day. Took it back to the dealership, technician said their diagnostic machine couldn't find any problems with the battery,alternator nor any of electrical parts. I had no problems with my car prior to having the above services done. After speaking with a mechanic, I was told that I am not the only person having these type of problems, especially after a new software chip has been installed. Perhaps this and other issues need to really be addressed with Chrysler.
The 20'06 Dodge Charger had less than 32,000 miles on it, and while driving one day I stepped on the accelerator to merge onto interstate 5 during rush hour traffic and the car stalled. Momentarily, the check engine light came on, I stepped on the gas and it did it again and then it resumed power. I took vehicle to the dealer, and they said they couldn't find anything wrong, but on the paper work it stated that the cause was a software issue , 108 inspect and flash pcm to latest software version. I took it home, and it has done it 5 more times , 3 times in one afternoon. I have taken it to the dealer twice for the same stalling problem, and they told me that they have done all the they could. We have refraimed from driving the 1994 vehicle because we no longer felt safe driving it.
