Power train, Aug 2, 2013
I WAS AT AN OPEN MALL AND I PARKED MY CHARGER, I NOTICED I WAS TO CLOSE TO THE CAR NEXT TO ME SO I DECIDED TO MOVE IT TO ANOTHER PARKING SPOT. WHEN I TURNED ON MY CAR, I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER, IT BECAME STUCK. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE MY VEHICLE. I TRIED EVERYTHING THINKING, MOVING THE STEER WHEEL, TAPPED ON THE BRAKES ETC AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT. I WAS IN A VERY BAD AREA OF TOWN AND WAS ALONE. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK AND THAT WAS GOING TO TAKE A COUPLE. SO I WAS STUCK ALONE WAITING. AFTER READING IN MANY WEBSITES. IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE NOT BEEN THE ONLY ONE WITH THE PROBLEM. SEEMS LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHER CHRYSLERS OWNERS HAD ISSUES. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK FINALLY ARRIVED, HE HAD ALREADY HELPED 4 OTHER PEOPLE OWNING A DODGE CHARGER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AND ONCE I WAS AT DODGE PICKING UP MY VEHICLE. THEY TOO TOLD ME THAT MANY PEOPLE HAD GONE IN TO GET THE SAME PROBLEM FIXED IN JUST A FEW WEEKS. I BELIEVE WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF RECALL. LUCKILY NO ONE HAS GOTTEN HURT THAT I KNOW OF BECAUSE OF THIS. AS A SINGLE MOM, I REALLY CANT AFFORD AN EXPENSE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHRYSLER. I HAVE ALWAYS SERVICED MY VEHICLE AND IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION.. AND HONESTLY I LOVE IT.. BUT I DON'T LOVE PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE BREAKING TO BEGIN WITH. THANK YOU.. *TR

I'VE RECENTLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY SHIFTER NOT WANTING TO MOVE OUT OF PARK. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL LISTED FOR MY VIN NUMBER. I DID RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 CHARGERS LIKE MINE, AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEIR VIN DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE LIMITED RECALL. I WAS TOLD BY DODGE'S CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT IT WAS A VIN-SPECIFIC RECALL, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH DODGE'S CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY.. I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT NOW REQUIRES ME TO PRESS A HOT PINK LEVER IN THE CONSOLE WHEN THE GEAR SHIFT STICKS, AND NO ONE AT DODGE SEEMS TO BE BOTHERED THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS WHO DIDN'T FALL UNDER THE LIMITED RECALL. THERE HAS BEEN AT LEAST 261 COMPLAINTS ON THE 2007 CHARGER FILED WITH NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. OUT OF THOSE 261 COMPLAINTS, 143 WERE ABOUT POWER TRAIN ISSUES. AND OF THOSE 143 POWER TRAIN COMPLAINTS, 121 WERE ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER. THIS IS ONLY ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. THERE ARE MANY, MANY MORE ON VARIOUS SITES ON THE WEB. THANK YOU. *TR

TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER PROBLEM: I READ THERE WAS A "SILENT" RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ONLY FOR CARS BUILT BETWEEN JUNE AND SEPTEMBER OF 2007. MY CAR WAS BUILT SHORTLY BEFORE THIS PERIOD. MY QUESTION IS: WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL FOR ALL VEHICLES HAVING THIS PROBLEM? A DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME OVER $400 TO REPLACE A SINGLE PINK PLASTIC PART WITH A SMALL, FRAIL HOOK (WHICH IS WHAT BROKE OFF) THAT ATTACHES TO A SMALL SPRING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND A DESIGN FLAW THAT WARRANTS A COMPREHENSIVE RECALL. I CANNOT EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW MUCH THIS HAS UPSET ME AND WOULD REALLY LIKE THE NHTSA TO TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION AND ISSUE A RECALL FOR ALL CARS AFFECTED. THANK YOU. *TR
