My 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T roughly sat for 2-3 winter months, driven 2-3 times during that period. While starting it up in February the car started then stalled out. I turned the key back to off and then restarted the car. I was getting on to the highway making a right turn. After completing the turn, merging on the highway about 35-40mph the car stalled and I had to pull off to the side of the road. I restarted and continued to drive as normal for the rest of the day. On Friday March 29th 2013, I started the car and it stalled again. I restarted the car and went on my way to work. I was merging from one highway to another doing about 40-45mph on the onramp when the car stalled again. Luckily I was able to pull off to the median while 3 cars almost rear ended me since I had no power to the vehicle. I put it in park, restarted the car and went on my way. That same morning, I was going South bound on the high way in the middle of mourning rush hour traffic into the city. I was going between 65-75mph in heavy traffic in the high speed lane and the car stalled again and lost all power to the vehicle. After coasting for about 100 yards the car somehow restarted, power came back and I continued to work that morning. I have taken the care to the local Dodge dealership as of 3/31 and is being looked at to find the issue.

2010 Dodge Challenger SE, right rear cv boot ripped and leaked grease onto the tail pipe and passenger side, and which caused a fire to the trunk. Vehicle is a total loss, no repairs can be made.

While driving at highway speed the vehicle made a pop sound and lost power. I was forced off the highway as there were no shoulders and had to push the vehicle across traffic to safety. The timing chain tensioner failed, resulting in the timing chain breaking. This resulted in damage to the upper portion of the motor, including all intake and exhaust valves, marring on the pistons and cracked heads.

While driving my 2010 Challenger rt 4.7L hemi on the ca 15 freeway at 70 mph the car suddenly shut down. The warning lights for engine and oil came on and I had to coast to a stop. Steering and brakes remained operational and luckily I made it to the shoulder as the 15 freeway is extremely busy and fast. I had the car towed to a nearby Dodge dealer where they informed me that my plastic timing chain guides had disintegrated and caused a blown engine. The car repairs (rebuilt engine) were covered under the 100K mile powertrain warranty but took 4 weeks to complete. The car had 54K freeway miles on it when this happened, was regularly maintained, and never showed any indications that a severe issue would have been forthcoming. I now question the longevity of the new rebuilt engine as same timing chain assembly parts were used during the repair. Noticed there is at least one other identical report on the NHTSA website so reported on my incident.

I've had the same issue as many have described when your Challenger loses all power steering and braking 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 popped caps and such and finding nothing. Also prior to turning the car off I jumped into the hidden epic 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 [xxx] 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.

This is the second time in less than 30 days that the Challenger 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 interred into the service system.

Making a left hand turn through an intersection (less than 20 mph) when car stalls, oil light illuminates, and power steering & brakes become almost unusable. Had to stop the car completely, put car in park, push the start button, and continue on to my destination. This is the 1st time this has occurred.

Clutch fully suppressed or while moving. Also stalls on take off (traffic light, stop sign) in rolling condition, again proper speed to gear ratio assumed. Identifiers: Low oil light, no steering, all the bells and whistles of a stalled vehicle. Sometimes will start immediately sometimes not. Dealer states no codes no issues.

The car stalls without any warning. I have had it stall in traffic and at intersections and have almost been hit a few times. This has happened about a dozen times in the 4500 miles on the car. It is very scary. The dealer has had the car for over two weeks with no end in sight. The last occurrence was on the 13th of August. The car sometimes will not move after it is restarted and must be turned on and off a few times before it will drive.

2010 Dodge Challenger R/T automatic transmission. While turning right car stalls and completely shuts off requiring the car to be put into park and restarted. Fortunately on both occasions my wife was not rear ended. This is the second time this has occurred since owning the car. Dealership was "unable to duplicate" the issue and no fix is known. Srt engineers have stated in online forums that they are aware of the problem and are working on a fix. While researching this issue I found that this is a problem with several Dodge vehicle models, based on the number of owners posting stories about this same issue.
