I have 2008 dodge charger. I ve been have transmission problem for the past 9 months, that no one can figure out: Problem, it feels as if have a loose transmission.#1 driving car criusing and accelarate slowly, it feels like transmission gets disconnected, and get vibration under my foot and to the steering wheel, unless I step on the gas hard and it picks up again.#2. Slowing down very slowely, at times makes the vibration under my foot and to the steering wheel again.#3 this is at all speeds after the first shift. #4 ever since, the car consumes twice the amount of gas than before.#5. The car still shifts perfect at all speeds and strong, no slipping at all, as long I press harder on the gas.#6, things have been checked: transmission mount, the reported(dealer) it was ok. MAIN problem: can't cruise in the car properly. Please help.

This should still be under warranty. If the dealer can't fix it call chrysler.

No warranty, I moved overseas and imported the car with me. I hardley driven the car, neither have I ever raced it either. No accedents at all, this happened out of the blue. When the symptoms occur, it makes a grinding noise from the bottom for a few seconds, thats when it vibrates, then it stops. This is when accelerating slowely, or coming to a stop slowely. If you accelarate hard enough, its fine. If you stop (brake) quickely, no problem.
