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

AFTER DEALERSHIP CHANGING ALL 8 COILS AND CAM SENSOR THERE IS NO CHANGE IN DRIVEABILITY. CAR STILL CUTS OUT SPONTANEOUSLY, BUCKS, AND SNORTS WHEN DOING SIMPLE (NO DRAMA) PASSES. I HEARD OF THESE CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I HAVE A SUSPICION THAT THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT FIND ANYTHING. I SURELY DO NOT WANT MY WIFE AND KIDS TO BE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND HAVE IT JUST TURN OFF ON THEM!!! *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

ENGINE SPUTTERS WHILE IDLE. I CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 2500-3000 MILES, ALONG WITH ENGINE AIR FILTER AND SPARK PLUG CHANGE AT 36,000. WHILE IDLE, ONCE IN A WHILE THE ENGINE WILL SPUTTER. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE (CND) THE PROBLEM, THEREFORE THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER THEY ASKED IF I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. I LOVED THE RT WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED IT. NOW! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO PURCHASE IT. ENGINE SPUTTERS, SIDE WINDOW IS SCRATCHED DUE TO MECHANISM, ROTOR ARE WARPED, AND OF COURSE THE SHIFTER STUCK IN PARK, AND THE ABS LIGHT IS NOW. ALL OF WHICH CHRYSLER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE FOR MY VIN, BUT HAVE A RECALL ON OTHERS. HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT? LET US CONTINUE TO SUBMIT OUR COMPLAINTS AND HOPEFULLY NO ONE WILL BE INJURED. AND MAYBE CHRYSLER WILL PAY FOR THEIR PROBLEMS. STARTING TO HATE MY HOT RED RT! *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
