WHILE IN MOTION THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT DOWN SO THE ENGINE REVS UP UNTIL THE BRAKE IS PRESSED. THIS HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE IT STARTS SHIFTING GEARS ON IT'S OWN. THE VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN DOING THIS SINCE 2/16/19 AND HAS DONE IT ALMOST EVERY DAY SINCE.

THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE REVVING AND SLOWING ITSELF DOWN AROUND THE 30 MPH AREA. THERE IS A JERKING MOTION AROUND THIS SPEED AS WELL. IT IS ACTING LIKE IT WANTS TO SHIFT, BUT CAN'T.

I HAVE HEARD IT IS A KNOWN TRANSMISSION PROBLEM FROM A MECHANIC FROM DODGE. I KNOW IT ASKS WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN, WELL, IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY I DRIVE IT!

HAVING A TRANSMISSION RELATED ISSUE. VEHICLE MAKES A JOLT FOWARD WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. SOMETIMES IT'S NOT SO BAD BUT YOU CAN TELL IT'S DOWNSHIFTING LATE OR HARD WHEN COMPLETING A STOP. THIS HAPPENS 90 PERCENT OF THE TIME WHEN MY VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP. I HAVE THE 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION IN THE SXT VERSION CHARGER V6. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND MANY CHARGER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO RESULTS ON WHAT'S THE CAUSE OR HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE. DODGE IS SUPPOSEDLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS SINCE CAME OUT WITH A PCM TRANSMISSION FLASH UPDATE. THE UPDATE HAS PROVEN TO BE INEFFECTIVE FOR EVERYONE INCLUDING MYSELF. THE PROBLEM AFFECTS 2011 -2014 8 SPEED CHRYSLER AND DODGE. I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS AND HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS A RECALL IS PLACED.
