| While driving in stop and go traffic the check engine oil and esp light came on followed by four chimes and then car completely shut off and the steering locked. after several attempts, the car started up again and the codes turned off. approx 1 month later the same thing occurred. i was making a turn on a roundabout when the same thing occurred during heavy traffic and almost caused an accident. i took the car into the dealership and they said there was nothing captured on the computer. they replaced the key fob and said that this should fix the problem. 4-5 months later, i was in reno, nv. i was driving 20-35 mph and again check engine oil light, esp and four chimes and the car shut off again, the steering locked, and i coasted until i came to a complete stop and placed it in park, started car and oil and codes turned off. 24 hours later when driving home on the freeway in heavy traffic, the same thing occurred!!! i put on my hazard lights and let the car roll, came to a complete stop, placed car in park and after several attempts, the car started and codes turned off. the following day i took the car back to the dealership and again they said they could not find a problem with it, as nothing was recorded in the internal computer. i asked for the car to be kept until the problem was resolved. they were not able to duplicate it in that one week. i asked for a co pilot computer to be placed in the vehicle in hopes of capturing the problem when it occurred, as the codes turn off after car is started. dodge sent out a rep to inspect vehicle. after inspection they stated nothing is wrong with the vehicle, they cannot duplicate the problem, and there are no codes stored on the computer. i am now faced with driving an unsafe vehicle that shuts off on me in the city and most dangerously on the freeway with no set pattern and the manufacturer has done nothing to fix it!! *tr | |||

| I've had the same issue as many have discribed when your challenger loses all power steering and breaking ability while making a right turn at low speeds. luckily i was pulling into a car wash when this happened and not at my sons elementary school where the deadly potential of killing school kids was there...by the way i was on the way to pick up my kid when i made a last minute choice to get a quick wash. so as stated by everyone else here, put the car in park an was able to start right back up afterwards. not knowing this was an issue that others were having, i opened the hood and started looking for lose cables or poped caps and such and finding nothing. also prior to turning the car off i jumped into the hidden evic menus and took pictures of the important data such as chime codes, ccn software version just in case there might be an update. i noticed the oil pressure was at 0!!! after everything was back to working i check the same detail and it was at a normal 25psi. so took car into dodge and as normal, we couldn't find anything and there are no issues that i know. we also couldn't reproduce it. really? you couldn't reproduce an issue that i told you appears to be random from all the other people that have had this happen? it's like they just don't give two shits about people's lives? so i'll call corporate tomorrow and see how much they don't care either. by the way, this is the first time for me and i was at 17,250 miles. car model is the rt automatic. let's hope we can get them to fix this before people get killed. | |||

| The vehicle stalled after braking at around 15 mph. the vehicle was able to be restarted, but unable to shift into gear. as mentioned by many others, this is a severe safety risk and needs to be looked into. my vehicle was towed to dealer and an ecm flash was conducted, but i am afraid of this issue reoccuring like so many others. | |||

| This is the second time in less than 30 days that the challanger r/t has shut off while making a turn at speeds of 25 mph or less. reference odi id # 10421234 / incident date of 08/19/2011. wife was making a left hand turn off of a busy street (40 mph speed limit, into my home neighborhood) when the car suddenly dies, steering & brakes go hard, oil pressure light illuminates, and she had to coast to a stop, put the car in park, press the start button (even though dash message said key fob not found), car re-starts, and she continued 1/2 mile to our home. i'm not comfortable letting my wife or kids drive this car when the probability of it dying is very possible. i just drove the car up the narrow mountain passes to big bear, ca (8,000 ft elevation) & back 3 days ago, and this could have caused a major accident if it had died and i had lost control on a windy mountain road. how many people have to be injured or die before someone forces dodge / chrysler to identify & correct this problem. car is going to the dealership tomorrow morning, where i expect to get alot of nothing, but atleast my complaints will be intered into the service system. | |||

| This is 4th or 5th time this issue has happened, have brought it to the dealer and they have come up with nothing. there are several complaints on nhtsa about this issue, as well as thousands online, yet the dealer states they are unaware of the issue. normal driving conditions, slowing down to make a turn and the vehicle completely shuts off and i lose power steering and power braking. the car becomes very hard to maneuver and stop. the car was stopped in an intersection, and thankfully the approaching cars were far enough away to slow down and stop. i then put the car in park and start it up and drive off with no other issues. this intermittent stalling is becoming a very dangerous issue and should be looked into further before someone is seriously injured, if they haven't been already. | |||

| Vehicle suddenly shut down in the middle of making a right hand turn under normal driving conditions. i was able to restart the vehicle and complete the turn without incident due to the alertness of the driver behind me. i did not notice which symbols, if any, lit up on the instrument panel. having a vehicle shut down for no apparent reason while driving is a very dangerous situation that could result in an accident. | |||

| Had been driving the car for approx. 1.5 hours, approached a red light and traffic in front of me had stopped abruptly forcing me to make a fast stop. not a full force stop but a quick reaction/sudden stop. then my car stalled out and the oil light came on. i put it in park and restarted the car. it started right back up. i put it in drive but it hesitated to move for approximately 3-5 seconds, then took off. the car had approximately 2000 miles on it. currently it has almost 3000 miles. this had happened once before this incident also as i was slowing down to make a left hand turn onto the street i live on. same thing, car restarted right up. that was with about 1000 miles on the car. i have an appointment with the dealership to see if they can detect something. however, i've read on some forums that it has been happening to these cars quite a bit in automatics 5.7 and 6.1 motors. my fear is that me or a member of my family, as well as some unsuspecting other driver will run into either my back end or from the side if if stalls again while making a turn across oncoming traffic. thank you. | |||
