MY DODGE CHARGER 2013, IS HAVING PROBLEMS SHIFTING GEARS. I PUT IN ANOTHER TRANSMISSION AND IT STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. GEARSHIFT ALSO STICKS, WHILE I'M IN MOTION....

WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET IT HIGHWAY THE SPEED CONTROL WILL NO LONGER TURN ON WHEN ON/OFF BUTTON IS PRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE REVERSING THE VEHICLE, IT ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN FROM 15 TO 50 MPH. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE STRUCK THREE OTHER VEHICLES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF A DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH WILL NOT TURN ON/OFF, AND CANCEL BUTTON WON'T FUNCTION, HAVE HAD CLUSTER REPLACED, AND SOFTWARE UPDATED TWICE(ONCE AT DEALERSHIP, THEN AT MY MECHANICS), THE "REPAIR" ONLY LASTS FOR AROUND 15,000 - 20,000 MILES BEFORE IT STARTS TO ACT UP AGAIN. MOST TIMES AFTER TURNING ON THE VEHICLE THE STEERING WHEEL/CRUISE CLUSTER NEEDS TO GET HIT VIOLENTLY MULTIPLE TIMES TO ENGAGE(TURN ON) THE CRUISE CONTROL, REGARDLESS ON IF VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, OR IN MOTION. SOME TIMES I END UP MAKING A 25 MIN DRIVE(OR MORE IF IT IS HAPPENING ON A ROAD TRIP) ON THE FREEWAY WITH OUT IT EVEN ENGAGING(IF IT TAKES MORE THAN 3 MIN(TIME TO FREEWAY) TO TRY TO GET IT TO ACTIVATE, THEN I DON'T RISK TRYING TO GET IT ACTIVE, BUT WILL TRY EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES TO TURN IT ON WITH OUT SUCCESS.

TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY, CRUISE CONTROL TURNED OFF, ABS/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THEN CHECK ENGINE CAME ON AND THE CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE. I AM THINKING A FAULTY ALTERNATOR. NEEDS TO BE ON RECALL FOR ALTERNATORS.

THE VEHICLE'S CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED AND WAS SET TO 67 MPH ON AN OPEN, RURAL STRAIGHT HIGHWAY. A SINGLE TAP AND RELEASE OF THE + CRUISE BUTTON WAS INITIATED. INSTEAD OF INCREMENTING THE SPEED UP BY 1 MPH THE ACCELERATOR REMAINED ENGAGED AND THE CAR QUICKLY ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY TO 90+ MPH. A HARD PRESS ON THE BRAKES WAS REQUIRED TO GET THE CAR TO DISENGAGE THE ACCELERATOR. QUITE SHOCKED BY WHAT JUST HAPPENED I INFORMED THE PASSENGER THAT WAS WITH ME OF THE EVENT THAT JUST TOOK PLACE. I THEN ENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL A SECOND TIME AND THEN AGAIN INITIATED A TAP AND RELEASE OF THE + CRUISE BUTTON. AGAIN, THIS SHOULD HAVE INCREMENTED THE CRUISE SPEED BY 1 MPH BUT INSTEAD THE CAR AGAIN WENT INTO AN UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION UNTIL I STOPPED IT BY A HARD PRESS ON THE BRAKES. THIS CONDITION WAS WITNESSED BY MYSELF AND A PASSENGER THAT WAS WITH ME. THE VEHICLE HAS 16,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER HAD ANY MAINTENANCE OTHER THAN WHAT IS PERFORMED AT AND BY THE DEALER.
