| Under passing conditions with hard and fast acceleration the car does not move and it feels like it is dead this is very dangerous and on many occasions i could have been hit. this is really a bad situation. i have taken it in and they do not beleive me that this is possible. this happens anytime that there is a steady or crusing and a need arises for passing or getting out of trouble. the gas pedal would be depressed quickly and hard but nothing happens. the car seems like it dies and then it comes back and starts accelerating. this takes about a second or two. other times it growls and it does not move. i have talked to dodge and they cannot duplicate it and frankly they think that i am telling them something that is not possible. in other words they do not belive me. | |||

| While turning left to cross multiple lanes on the highway, i accelerated to go and the car began coasting. i pressed on the gas and nothing! i put it in neutral, heard it rev and put it into drive..still nothing! the car would not accelerate. with on coming traffic and cars swerving to keep from plowing into me, i quickly put the car in park, shut it off, tried to re-started it (x3)and put it in drive. i was finally able to get it to go. the next day, my car was hard to start (x3). after warming up for approximately 10 mins, i left for work. low & behold, the same exact thing happened at the same exact spot except this time my car shut off during the turn. once again, with oncoming traffic and speeding cars dodging my stopped vehice, i immediately threw it into park, tried to restart it x2, then put it in drive and was able to get out of the way of the tractor trailer who was not going to be able to stop! on the way to the dealership, it happened twice to my husband but the dealership says there is no code, it hasn't happened to us and thus no problem i can assure you, as a deputy sheriff, this problem isn't just dangerous, it's deadly! | |||

| Driving at 70mph speed limit,a car cam over into my lane,and i had to slow down.i then pushed down on the accelerator to get back up to speed,and nothing. there was no acceleration at all,even after i kept pushing on the peddle. i had to take a fast look behind me,and go across 3 lanes of traffic,all going 70mph and more,to get the car to the right side of the road. we were lucky the 4 of us were not killed. the car went down to below 30mph,even though i kept pushing on the gas. then it took off. this happened 2 times,and not quit so bad a fuw other times. we were on a 1 month trip,and when we left the car had just over 6,000 miles on it,and was 6 months old. when we got home it was 7 months old with 12,000 miles on it. at ont point chrysler corp.told me it fits into the car buy back replacement program. they did not help me.i got a 2012 charger because i did not trust the 2011. it could kill someone. they say the car is fixed,but i am not going to risk my familys life on it. has there been any other cars with this problem,of no acceleration? is it a problem with the multiple displacement system? sounds like it. thank you for your help. it sounds like chrysler corp.just dose not believe me,that there is no acceleration. parts replaced were,hydraulic-tappets,multiple displacement solenoid,head gasket,sparkplugs,oil&filter. | |||
