Automatic Transmission Torque Converter Problems of Dodge Charger

Brakes- total brake failure of my car isn't heated up to the third line. Engine- loud ticking. Mechanic said 1 out of 12 lifters in driver's side cylinder has collapsed. Power train- when I accelerate in over drive my check engine light comes on for a couple days. When I diagnose it, it says torque converter failure. (overdrive failure) so I'm guessing I have no overdrive until the check engine light shuts back off. (who knows) Dodge/chrystler needs to check into the quality of the cars they're producing. I will neber buy another Dodge/chrystler/Jeep.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Dodge Charger. While driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle decelerated, jerked forward, and the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the torque converter "stuck off" (code number: p0741). The vehicle was taken to another independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided the contact with a case number. The manufacturer stated that the contact would be provided a rental vehicle and assistance towards the repair cost. The vehicle was taken back to where it was purchased (yucca valley Chrysler center (760-228-1818, located at 57909 29 palms hwy, yucca valley, CA 92284). The dealer kept the vehicle for evaluation. The contact was not called back. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

At about 75,000 miles, the vehicle would lose power while I was drivng then surge and lunge forward. At that point my check engine light came on. Scared the daylights out of me. It happened when I was on the 10 freeway coming home. I have taken the vehicle to two mechanics. The torque converter is stuck closed. I was told by both mechanics that I need a new transmission? it's the torque converter. It is a hazard for the car to surge and lunge; can cause a serious accident! how can I need a new transmission when it started @ 72,000 miles. Bad parts. Please review this problem. I need help!!!!! please consider and review. I cant afford a new transmission. !!! it just doesnt seem logical.

We have experienced a shudder while stopped for lights on and off for years, since the car was new in 07. The dealer could not find anything wrong (no codes) and could not duplicate the complaint. Then in 2013 it began stalling at lights after the shudder and sometimes without the shudder. Again leaving no codes. I'm a ase certified master tech of forty years. A torque converter lockup could cause it to shudder and stall, but should leave a code. But a defective crank position or cam position sensor could shut igntion off without leaving a code. Therefore, for a total of $32. 50 I changed both sensors. It fixed both issues for 7 or 8 months. Suddenly, today 12/30/14 it's doing both again! there's to many complaints about this to ignore the safety issues of stalling in traffic while standing still driving 60 mph. Help fix this problem before someone is killed!!!!!! thanks.

I have a 2006 Dodge Charger r/t with the 5. 7. At least once per day (and often much more often), during acceleration, car will go into "limp" mode, where the engine or transmission will stop producing power to the wheels. Engine light will "ding" and rpm will drop from acceleration rpm down to about 2000 rpm and cause the car to hesitate, creating an especially dangerous situation on highway merging. Car will come back on line after about 1-2 seconds, and run normally. The more I push the acceleration, the more likely to occur. Also, car will simply stall at low speeds or while in idle. I bought the car about 30 days ago, and reported to the dealership immediately, and they duplicated the issue. They thought it could be a short, but after 3 hours labor (they covered this cost), did not correct it. They do not know what it is, and are next looking into a torque converter possiblility, and also looking at the throttle body. Not sure at this time if they will come good for the fix in the long term. This stalling loss of power and going into "limp mode" seems to be excessively common on these cars, according to blogs and Dodge sites online. While the local dealership has been extremely helpful and greta t work with so far, this should fall on Dodge itself, not the dealer, to make good for, as it seems to be a prevelant and dangerous issue. Very dangerous situation, and Dodge/chrystler should make this right for everyone.

The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Charger. While driving approximately 15 mph, the contact noticed that the steering wheel was loose and seemed to wobble while turning. The contact stated that the vehicle fish-tailed and became uncontrollable. The contact had to apply excessive force to the steering wheel in order to gain control of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics but the technicians were unable to duplicate or diagnose the failure. The failure persisted and the vehicle was taken to the dealer numerous times but to no avail. On the final attempt, the technicians diagnosed the failure as the power train torque converter needing to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 26,000.
