| The dodge charger is the vechicle that has acceleration problems. so far i have come close to three acceidents due to lack of acceleration. this can happen at any time and noticable when you need to accelerate. i have gone to a dealer to repair this but they cannot fix it since this is an inherent problem in the vehicle and they do not want to fix it. it has to do with the engine control unit and transmission programming. i cannot afford for the car to slow down or cut out on me when i need to get in traffic or accelerate to get out of the traffic i had to select avenger from the web site. it did not have charger. | |||
