SRT model. Parked a perfectly functioning car Monday night. Sunday afternoon it goes into gear but wont move. It just wiggles a little like it's trying to go as I let out the clutch. Engine begins to bog as if you were to hold the brakes down while letting off clutch.

Hello and welcome to 2CarPros. To me it sounds like a problem with the clutch, like a bad pilot or throw out bearing, or a bad pressure plate. The car should be under warranty. Call the dealership and let them bill Fiat Chrysler for the repair.

Just my thoughts. Let me know what you find out. Thanks for using 2CarPros.

I had the dealership extend the warranty as part of the terms when I bought the car. I know it's all covered, just trying to see what kind of problem I'm getting into. Haven't even had the car a year yet and put less than 2,000 miles on it.

I gotcha. I'd bet on it being in the pilot or throw out bearings for sure. But with it being covered, at least you're not in the hook for a $1,000.00 repair.
