Reached for drink, knocked gearshift (automatic) into neutral. Wheels locked up. Was going 70 mph on I-10 near baton rouge. Spun sideways, looking at white line, thru driver's window sideways down a busy highway, at night . Put back in neutral, car straightened out. Pulled to shoulder. Waited for heart to return to normal. Had seat cleaned the next day. Could have been killed, due to 'driver's loss of control'. No one would have ever known what caused the wreck. How many have died this way?.
Driving my 08 Charger sxt and its is shifting really hard from 1st to 2nd and acts like it wants to just stall out is this normal or no.
Transmission shift hard from 1st to second gear every morning. Loud enough to hear inside and outside of car. Dealer says there is no fix ofr this problem, and it could be on all the new 2008 v6 Chargers. They have failed to tell the public this information. And failed to fix my Charger. It has been in the shop twice in 3 weeks.
I bought my 08 Charger 3. 5l v6 in Jan of 08. Only weeks after I noticed that it shifts hard on the very first shift of the day when it goes from 1st to 2nd. After that it shifts fine. I have had it to the shop 3 times. Twice they uploaded a new computer program. It didn't help. The last time they claim to have replaced all of the seals in the transmission. That didn't fix it either. I have just given up nut I am considering filing a lemon law claim. Figured with them being in the trouble they are it wouldn't really get me anywhere. Nice car overall, just poor power train!.
