Your 2020 Dodge Charger may suddenly lose engine power and have the steering wheel lock up while driving without any warning light showing first. After restarting, a check engine light appears and the problem happens again. A mechanic found that a fuel sensor failed and replaced it, but the same issue came back. When checked again, an oil temperature sensor was found to be faulty. This started happening around 50,000 miles. The fix will likely involve replacing the faulty fuel sensor and oil temperature sensor.

Dodge has acknowledged a known issue impacting paddle shift equipped Chargers and Challengers. When using paddle shifters, the engine will downshift when the driver upshifts, sometimes causing torque jerking and acceleration jumps. Dodge says the issue is that the driver is shifting faster than the computer is processing the shift, which is absurd. Beyond the obvious hazard this creates, it's also causing unnecessary wear on the engine due to over revving. This is a major safety concern.
My car begin to run hot. I bought my car into the dealer the next day. There is oil mix with the coolant. No warning light came on. According to the mechanic, I need a new engine.
