SKIP SHIFT. THIS FEATURE IS ALREADY THE CAUSE OF SEVERAL NEAR MISSES OF ME BEING REAR-ENDED BECAUSE FROM A STOP, I AM UNEXPECTEDLY PREVENTED FROM SHIFTING FROM FIRST INTO 2ND GEAR TO MAINTAIN EXPECTED ACCELERATION IN TRAFFIC. I REALIZE WHAT THE SKIP SHIFT IS INTENDED FOR BUT IN THE REAL WORLD OF TRAFFIC, THE SKIP SHIFT FEATURE IS INHERENTLY DANGEROUS AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN EVER ANYONE IS BEHIND ME AT A STOP OR AT A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, WHEN ITS TIME TO GO, THE SKIP SHIFT FEATURE PUTS ME AT RISK OF BEING REAR ENDED EVERY TIME IT ENGAGES. THERE IS A DISPLAY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN SKIP SHIFT IS ENGAGED BUT TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO REFOCUS AND LOOK FOR THIS DISPLAY WHILE AT THE SAME TIME DRIVING IN TRAFFIC IS AS DANGEROUS AS THE SKIP SHIFT FEATURE ITSELF. ADDITIONALLY, AS A RESULT OF BEING FORCED TO SHIFT FROM FIRST TO FORTH IS DAMAGING TO THE CLUTCH, TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. THE ENGINE KNOCKS AND PINGS TERRIBLY IF I TRY TO ACCELERATE IN FORTH GEAR AT SUCH A LOW SPEED. OFTEN TIMES I AM FRANTICALLY DOUBLE CLUTCHING TRYING TO OVERRIDE THE FEATURE BY TRYING TO YANK AND JAM THE TRANSMISSION INTO SECOND GEAR ALL THE WHILE DECELERATING WITH FOLLOWING TRAFFIC HONKING OR YELLING VERBAL ABUSE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A WAY TO DISABLE THE SKIP SHIFT FEATURE ON THESE 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. *TR |

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, TRAVELING AT AN APPROXIMATE SPEED OF 65 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOSES POWER, AND AT THAT POINT I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY, TRAFFIC WASN'T TOO BAD, SO I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER TO SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING REAR ENDED BY THE CARS THAT WERE TRAVELING AT VERY HIGH SPEEDS. SOON THEREAFTER, I HAD MY 2009 RT DODGE CHALLENGER TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, APPARENTLY, THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE. IT DOESN'T END THERE, NOT ONLY IS THIS VEHICLE FAIRLY NEW, BUT I ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT ALREADY ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, BUT IT SEEMS AS IF NOTHING HELPED. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE NOW HAS ACQUIRED ENGINE DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF THE DEALERSHIP BEING UNABLE TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE AND ADDRESS THESE ISSUES, FOR LACK OF KNOWING WHAT THE REAL ISSUE WAS ALL ALONG. IN ALL HONESTY, I FEEL AS IF THEY NEED TO RECALL THE TIMING CHAINS ON THE RT DODGE CHALLENGERS BEFORE MORE PEOPLE END UP IN MY SITUATION, OR WORSE. *TR |
