I WENT TO DRIVE MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER AND IT WAS STUCK IN PARK. NO OTHER PROBLEMS. I INVESTIGATED AND FOUND OUT THAT CHRYSLER HAS A DEFECTIVE PART IN THESE CARS. THEY WANT TO CHARGE THE CONSUMER TO FIX THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. (ITS A CHEAP PLASTIC PINK RELEASE BUTTON THAT GOES OUT AT ANY GIVEN TIME CAUSING THE CAR TO BE STUCK IN PARK) THIS IS NOT THE CONSUMER'S PROBLEM THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED INSTEAD I WAS TOLD SINCE I WAS THE SECOND OWNER OF THE CAR THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN REALLY DO. IT COSTS ROUGHLY $500.00 TO BE FIXED. REALLY MAKES A HAPPY CUSTOMER QUESTION THE QUALITY OF THEIR SERVICE. *KB

VEHICLE BROUGHT HOME AND PARKED ON 7/17 AS NORMAL. 7/18 AROUND 4PM ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE AND GO TO LOCAL GROCERY STORE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. CALLED CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403, WAS REFERRED TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AT 1-800-992-1997. WAS TOLD TO REMOVE THE CHROME BEZEL AROUND TOP OF CONSOLE AND REMOVE THE PACKAGE TRAY ON THE SIDE AND PUSH THE SQUARE PINK TAB DEVICE INWARD TO RELEASE THE SHIFT MECHANISM. DID NOT WORK. THEN WAS TOLD OF A SERVICE CAMPAIGN ON SIMILAR VEHICLES BUT WHEN I GAVE THEM THE VIN I WAS INFORMED MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED. STARTED USING GOOGLE TO SEARCH FOR SIMILAR INCIDENTS AND FOUND THEM TO BE NUMEROUS. SEEMS WE HAVE A FACTORY DEFECT HERE THAT IS KNOWN AND FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES IS A TIME BOMB WAITING TO NAP PEOPLE AT ITS FIRST OPPORTUNITY AND LEAVE THEM STRANDED. MY CAR HAS 92,000 MILES ON IT AND AS FAR AS I CAN TELL I AM LUCKY TO HAVE MADE IT THAT FAR. I WILL BE ON THE PHONE WITH CHRYSLER TODAY.. 7/19, TO GIVE THEM AN EARFUL OF MY DIS SATISFACTION WITH THIS WHOLE SCENE. *KB

THERE WAS NO SIGN THAT THERE WAS ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. I GOT IN THE VEHICLE, STARTED THE IGNITION, AND WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT THE GEAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE. I HAD A LOCAL TOWING COMPANY COME AND PICK UP THE CAR, AND THEY TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. THE TOWER SAID THERE'S BEEN RECALLS ON THE COLUMN SHIFTER FOR THE DODGE CHARGERS. AFTER THE MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE CAR, HE SAID THAT YES IT WAS THE COLUMN SHIFTER AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT WILL COST $380.35 TO HAVE IT ALL REPLACED. SINCE I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO DAMAGE THE CAR, AND THERE'S A RECALL ON THE PARTICULAR ITEM THAT IS BEING REPLACED I DON'T SEE WHY I SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HAVE SOME FORM OF REIMBURSEMENT SENT TO ME. *TR
