THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER WAS RECALLED ON 2005 - 2007 DODGE AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES, HOWEVER AFTER CONTACTING DODGE DIRECTLY I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT BUILT DURING THE YEARS OF THE RECALL. ONCE THE LEVER IS BROKEN, YOU'RE UNABLE TO PUT YOUR CAR INTO GEAR. THE SAME ISSUE THAT WAS RECALLED FOR THE OTHER YEARS OF THESE VEHICLES HAS HAPPENED TO MY CAR. AND FROM THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE ONLINE THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPLAINS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND IT'S GOING TO COST APPROXIMATELY $390 TO HAVE THE PLASTIC LEVER REPLACED WITH THE METAL LEVER THAT'S BEING USED NOW. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH DODGE AND CHRYSLER AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURE. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AS THE CAR WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR IF THE LEVER BREAKS, AND CAN CAUSE A PERSON TO BE STRANDED. IF I NEEDED TO GET AWAY FROM SOMEONE IN A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LEAVE IN MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. I BELIEVE DODGE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD REVISIT THIS RECALL AND EXTEND TO ALL CARS IT AFFECT. MY CAR IS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER, HOWEVER IT WAS BUILT IN 2006 THEREFORE IT DOES NOT "QUALIFY" FOR THE RECALL. *TR

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. TECH DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS NEEDING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER. LABOR, PARTS, TAXES, AND MISC. CHARGES TOTALED $498.18 WERE PAID BY CUSTOMER. DEALER STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR PART FROM CHRYSLER. ON CHARGER FORUMS FOUND POSTS THAT CHRYSLER HAD ISSUED A K39 NOTIFICATION LETTER WHICH COULD BE FILLED OUT AND SENT TO CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL CENTER. CUSTOMER SUBMITTED FORM. CHRYSLER RESPONDED THAT VEHICLE WAS BUILT ONE MONTH BEFORE RECALL RANGE SO IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. CUSTOMER DOES NOT AGREE WITH CHRYSLER'S RECALL RANGE IN THAT IT IS TOO LIMITED AND NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. SAME PART IS FAILING, WHETHER VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN RECALL RANGE OR A MONTH EARLIER. IT IS STILL A DANGEROUS PROBLEM IN THAT THE VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE AND CAN LEAVE THE DRIVER AND FAMILY STRANDED IN UNFAMILIAR SURROUNDINGS AND LATE AT NIGHT. CHRYSLER SHOULD INCLUDE VEHICLE IN RECALL AND PAY FOR ALL PARTS AND LABOR. *TR
