So far this problem is widespread on a large number of Chrysler models and many people have had it happen well over 20 times. The company has refused to acknowledge it/find a fix and the dealers have been unhelpful. Hate to make a mountain out of a mole hill but I'm afraid of the car stalling in the middle of a busy intersection and possibly getting rear ended. Very unsafe and I'm starting to think about flipping in for a 370z.
I loved the 370z when I drove it, but talked myself out of it due to the road noise and lack of a model that suited me.
Hoping for some opinions/thoughts from you guys about what to do...the Challenger forum has been pretty short sighted saying DON'T TRADE FOR THAT JAP CRAP...not exactly helpful.

consider the Infinity product. Similar starting points - but with different executions, options and rides. More of a GT than a sports car and perhaps more in line with your driving preferences. Road noise can also be softened with a smaller diameter wheel and taller side walls at the expense of handling and performance. Road racers do it all the time - a set of wheels for the drive to the track - a set for driving the track. You get two "cars" for the price of an extra set of wheels. The cat can be skinned in many ways - find solutions and disregard distractions. There is no perfect car, but when you love the car you drive - you forgive it's flaws. Kinda like a wife. Good luck.
