    Exclamation Car went in limp mode twice!

    So my car has gone in to limp mode twice in the last week and a half. It starts with an acceleration from low speed with a loud clunk of the car button the next gear and then it goes in to limp mode. I have few mods. The only recent thing I've done is replace the air filter after accidentally crushing my last one. I guess I'll have to take it in to the dealer to figure out what's wrong. Also if anyone knows a better place to take it in/near Jacksonville NC that would be great since I e had problems with the Dodge dealership there.

    Mine has done it twice too. Random. Can't explain it. Pulled over turned car off & drove on. Reset the CEL when I got home. There was no code stored.

    When we say limp mode what are the symptoms? Mine acted like it was in neutral twice today and got a engine light with no code stored. Happened under the same scenario as yours JT.

    Your sig says "Predator" so I assume you have a tune installed. If you do, the first thing you should do (if you haven't done so already) is restore the stock tune and see if that corrects the problem.
