Owner report 10190657 · 2007-05-14 (May 14, 2007)
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY ROLLED FROM THE DRIVEWAY INTO A DITCH, CAUSING $1500 WORTH OF DAMAGE. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE HAND BRAKE WAS APPLIED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. ON EACH OCCASION WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, THE GROUND WAS WET FROM MELTING SNOW AND THE VEHICLE WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 21,155 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, THE CAR SIMPLY DIED WHILE IN DRIVE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. ONCE I GOT IT RE-STARTED, THE TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY SHIFTED INTO DRIVE FROM PARK. UNABLE TO DUPLICATE SINCE THEN. *AK
