Accelerating

[Tootie72]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has had any problems with their 2026 sixpack jerking and accelerating on its own? Looked for recalls on gas powered but found it on EV chargers.

Welcome aboard see this is your first post. So far I have not seen anyone here posting that issue. Later RJD

Yes, please research first. Could it be the TC? New car?

Can you explain in some more detail what you're experiencing?
Closest issue I've had is when using sport at low speeds (busy parking lots) the car can get very jerky, but that feels more like the power is cutting out rather than an acceleration.

This is SO annoying! I was at a show and was just cruising around and I swear it gave me whiplash. lol

Yep, throttle mapping is super aggressive in sport. It happens to me a lot at traffic circles and stops where you can’t really just evenly apply gas as there is uncertainty around what others are doing. It is still kind of an issue in AUTO, but not quite as bad.

I have no issues with it in Auto mode. Later RJD

I can't say I have had any issue in Auto. I wonder if the pedal master mod would help with this?

Definitely happens to a much lesser degree in auto for me, but it’s still there sometimes in a stop and go type scenario I’ve had it do some odd , might be the turbos spooling up and down or something.

I’ve found in sport mode, this car holds a lower gear downshift much longer than other automatic Dodges I’ve had, if you pull your foot off the pedal after a little stab it will coast in the mid 3k to 4k RPMs after you pull the gas, I like that.

Glad I'm not the only one. Sounds like it's probably something with the software rather than something mechanically wrong.

I wonder if something like the Diablosport can open the exhaust without putting it into sport mode. I want the car to sound nice while cruising around slow.

Ditto.
