MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER HAD A PART FAILURE IN THE SHIFTER MECHANISM THAT PREVENTED IT FROM BEING MOVED FROM PARK. THIS OCCURRED AT 8 PM AT NIGHT ON TOP OF A PARKING GARAGE WHEN I HAD MY FAMILY WITH ME. IT TOOK OVER AN HOUR TO LOCATE A TOWING COMPANY THAT COULD GET TO ME BECAUSE OF THE PARKING GARAGE. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THE PROBLEM WAS A CHEAP PLASTIC PART THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED ON THE AVENGER BUT NOT THE CHARGER AND THEY HAD BEEN REPLACING ABOUT A DOZEN PER WEEK. DODGE SHOULD RECALL THIS PART AND REPAY THE OWNERS THAT HAVE ALREADY HAD TO MAKE THE REPAIR. *TR

WE WENT TO THE MOVIES AND WHEN WE CAME OUT THE CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. NO MATTER WHAT WE DID THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD NOT MOVE. WE HAD TO GET A RIDE HOME. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHARGERS AND TOLD US HOW TO GET INTO THE GEAR SHIFT MECHANISM SO THAT WE COULD GET IT OUT OF PARK. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME IT IS PUT IN PARK WE HAVE TO TAKE IT APART. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS FIXED ON THE CAR WHEN IT IS CONSIDERED A COMMON PROBLEM. DODGE NEEDS TO MAKE THEIR CUSTOMERS HAPPY, WE WILL NOT BE RECOMMENDING THIS VEHICLE UNTIL A RECALL IS MADE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. WE FEEL IT IS POOR SALESMANSHIP TO NOT DISCLOSE THIS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SALE. WE HAVE BEEN DODGE OWNERS FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS BUT THAT IS DUE TO CHANGE WITHOUT FURTHER HELP ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I DROVE MY CAR TO WORK AND PARKED IT. WHEN I WENT OUT TO MY CAR TO GO TO LUNCH IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I HAD TO REMOVE THE UPHOLSTERY AROUND THE GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR TO GET TO THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TO USE A SCREW DRIVER TO MOVE THE BROKEN PIECE SO THAT I CAN SHIFT THE CAR, UNTIL I HAVE TIME TO MAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE CHARGER. *TR

SHIFTER STUCK IN PARK. CAR DROVE FINE, PARKED IT AT NIGHT, THE NEXT MORNING THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK. RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE, FOUND A FIX (TO PREVENT CALLING A TOW), AND DROVE THE CHARGER TO THE DEALER. I EXPECTED THIS TO BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL (#08V583000). BUT IT WAS NOT, CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY STATED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED. HOW MANY TIMES DOES THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE THE MANUFACTURER WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? ADMIT TO THE PROBLEM, PAY FOR THE REPAIR, AND CONSUMERS WOULD BE SATISFIED. VERY DISPLEASED WITH CHRYSLER/DODGE. OTHER PROBLEMS MANUFACTURER WILL NOT PAY FOR, ROTOR/BRAKE PADS WEARING PREMATURELY/LOUD SQUEAL, DRIVERS WINDOW LEAVES STARCH MARKS ON GLASS, ABS LIGHT ON, ENGINE SPUTTERS. *TR

I DROVE MY CAR TO THE END OF MY ROAD TO PICK MY KIDS UP FROM THE BUS STOP. ONCE I PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO ALLOW THE KIDS TO GET IN IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND WHEN HE ARRIVED HE REMOVED THE PLASTIC CONSOLE AND SHOWED ME THAT BY PRESSING A HOT PINK LEVER MY CAR WOULD ENGAGE. HE WAS CORRECT AND I DROVE MY CAR HOME. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD COST AROUND $350 TO HAVE FIXED SINCE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT LESS THAN ONE MONTH AGO. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY THAT AFTER READING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS LISTED ON HERE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY SHODDY MANUFACTURING AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

PINK PLASTIC TAB IN THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY ON 2007 DODGE CHARGER RT (17,000 MILES) BROKE, RESULTING IN VEHICLE BEING UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER EVEN COMMENTED ON THE NOTORIOUS "CHARGER STUCK IN PARK" PROBLEM WHEN HE CALLED IN OUR PICKUP. CHYRSLER - DODGE HAS REFUSED A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, YET CHARGES 400 DOLLARS TO FIX IT.

I OWN A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. BIGGEST PIECE OF JUNK EVER IN MY DRIVE WAY. I WAS EXCITED WHEN THE CHALLENGER CAME OUT, MY DAUGHTER WOULD GET THE CHARGER AND MOMMA WOULD GET THE NEW CHALLENGER. I CAN SAY, THAT WONT BE HAPPENING. IN THE THREE YEARS I'VE HAD THIS CAR, I HAVE HAD TO SPEND SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FIXED FROM LEAKING FLUID. A PART I WAS TOLD THAT WAS MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY, BUT NO RECALL, I HAD TO PURCHASE THE FIX KIT MYSELF. WITHIN 6 MONTHS FROM THIS HAPPENING, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT OUT. LOOSING ALL ELECTRONICS IN THE CAR. AGAIN, NO RECALL ANOTHER $600+ OUT OF MY POCKET. NOW JUST THIS WEEK THE "PINK THINKY" HAS MESSED UP. THIS LEFT ME STRANDED IN ANY EMPTY PARKING LOT AT WORK ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND MY HUSBAND AN HOUR AWAY. THANK GOODNESS THE MECHANIC SHOP I GO TO COULD TELL ME HOW TO OVERRIDE AND GET ME HOME. OF COURSE I CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP FIRST, BUT LOW AND BEHOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT HELP ME. THE ANSWER, "I CAN SEND A TOW TRUCK. I DO KNOW THERE IS AN OVERRIDE BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW IT WORKS." REALLY! THREE THINGS RIGHT THERE A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED ON! THIS CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE THE PROBLEMS IT DOES WITHOUT SOMEONE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR CORRECTING IT. MITSIBISHI HAS DODGE BEAT BY ALONG SHOT! 00 GALANT, WAS TRADED IN FOR THE CHARGER WITH 260K MILES ON IT, NEVER SPENT 1 DIME THAT WAS NOT FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, AND IT STILL RAN, DROVE AND HANDLED LIKE IT DID THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. BUT I JUST HAD TO HAVE THE NEW DODGE CHARGER, BIG MISTAKE ON MY PART! THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER DODGE ANYTHING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I KNOW DODGE DOES NOT CARE, I'M JUST ONE OUT OF MILLIONS BUT THEY SHOULD! DODGE CAN GO BANKRUPT TOTALLY, AND NEVER MANUFACTURE ANOTHER THING AND MY WORK WOULD KEEP RIGHT ON REVOLVING! *TR

07 DODGE CHARGER, WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AND CONSOLE SHIFTER. THE PLASTIC PIECE HOLDING THE PARK GEAR RELEASE SPRING BREAKS OFF AND THE VEHICLE CAN THEN NOT BE SHIFTED INTO GEAR. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS ENGINEERING FLAW THAT CHRYSLER AND IT'S DEALERSHIPS ARE WELL AWARE OF, AND CHOOSE NOT TO ADDRESS AS A WARRANTY OR RECALL ISSUE. THE VEHICLE I AM INVOLVED WITH HAS ONLY 46,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ENOUGH THAT THE AFTERMARKET PARTS INDUSTRY, SPECIFFICALLY DORMAN , MANUFACTURES AND SELLS A METAL REPLACEMENT FOR THIS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND INADEQUATE PART. *TR
