RE: buckjumping and dieing charger - 10/12/2007 9:16:57 PM    Nomation   Posts: 6 Joined: 6/26/2006 Status: offline I experience the same thing on my 2006 Charger Daytona.  I have about 13,000 miles as well.  It's a little strange like when I have my foot on the brake..(not pressing hard) it will ocassionally jump as if the brake slipped a little.  I also am experiencing over the last 5K miles a screaching in the right rear brake.  When it first started I took it to the dealer and they said it's normal.  Now it's loud and it seems like the brakes are not stopping smoothly like when I first bought it.  Any thoughts??  (in reply to armourRT) Post #: 9

I'll post more when i hear more (in reply to armourRT) Post #: 10

RE: buckjumping and dieing charger - 10/28/2007 5:53:41 PM    Nomation   Posts: 6 Joined: 6/26/2006 Status: offline I think I've isolated the problem...today I went for a highway drive for about 10 mins.  My speed varried from 55 - 75...then took an exit.  I then stopped at a red light looked at my RPMs which read about 600 then about one second later it felt like the brake clutch...(if there is such a thing) engaged the car bucked and the RPMs jumped to about 750 or so...then the car idled normally.  It's acted almost like a car would act if you put it in drive and held the brake down...kind of like the engine was still working to move the vehilce and then you place it in park and the engine relaxes and the idle returns to normal.  I don't know much about transmissions or how a car automaticly goes into a sort of netural when you are stopped completely but I think what ever device causes this is defective.  I know this is slightly incorherent, but can anyone understand what I trying to say???

RE: buckjumping and dieing charger - 10/28/2007 6:24:16 PM    dodgeboy64   Posts: 67 Joined: 3/12/2006 Status: offline Have you tried any drygas, the isopropyl is the best.  I used to work in a GM stealership and half of all the drivability issues we used to see were caused by bad gas.  For some reason one car is more affected by it than others.  I have a ram pickup that is really touchy.  It can act like a transmission problem and only seldom sets a code, if it does it is usually a misfire or injector code.  It's the first place I always start when having an engine miss or stall.  Good luck.  PS most dealerships won't try this, not sure why, might put them out of business. 3 bucks for drygas vs hundreds for a new pcm and injectors.
