ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING HOME ALONG WITH MY WIFE FROM RUNNING ERRANDS WHEN MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPHS PER HOUR. I CALLED AAA TO COME AND TOW MY VEHICLE. THEY DID JUST THAT AND THE SERVICE-CONTRACTED TOWING COMPANY FOR AAA DROPPED MY DODGE CHARGER RT OFF TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP THAT I'M ACCUSTOMED TO GOING. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED HEAVILY FROM THE ENGINE PROBLEM. SO HE TOOK OUT THE OLD BATTERY I HAD AND PUT IN A NEW BATTERY. ONCE HE DID THAT HE TRIED TO GET THE DODGE CHARGER RT TO START BUT THERE WAS NO LUCK. BUT EVENTUALLY SOME ELECTRICAL POWER WAS RESTORED TO A LEVEL IN ORDER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO BE PERFORMED. ONCE THIS MECHANIC COMPLETED THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST HE TOLD ME THAT THE CODES HE RECEIVED ARE IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2007 MODEL OF THE DODGE CHARGER RT. HE TOLD ME THAT THE 2007 MODEL FOR THIS VEHICLE HAD THE MOST RECALL PROBLEMS FOR THE ISSUE THAT I EXPERIENCED WHICH WERE ENGINE PROBLEMS. HE SAID THAT THE ENGINE PROBLEMS WERE THE SECOND MOST RECALLED ISSUE AFTER THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOR THIS VEHICLE. HE TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO INVESTIGATE ABOUT GETTING A RECALL COMPLAINT MADE FOR THIS VEHICLE WITH THE MANUFACTURER (DODGE), BECAUSE THE ENGINE PROBLEM JUSTIFIED THE SAME RECALL ISSUES THAT PREVIOUS OWNERS HAD WITH THE MODEL AND YEAR OF THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS LEAVING WORK, AND ENTERING I-285 OFF EXIT RAMP, I SAW A VEHICLE THAT WAS STOPPED AHEAD OF ME APPROX. A QUARTER OF A MILE UP AHEAD OF ME, SO I BEGAN TO APPLY BRAKES TO PREPARE TO STOP AHEAD...AND I REALIZED THAT MY BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT MOVE OR GIVE IN TO EVEN APPLY PRESSURE TO BRAKE. I WAS GOING APPROX. 45 TO 50MPH...AND I CRASHED AND REAR ENDED A CAR FULL FORCE WITHOUT ANY BRAKES AT ALL. BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED...IT WAS AWFUL AND THE SCARIEST THING THAT I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. IT RESULTED IN A 4 CAR ACCIDENT. I SUFFERED A BROKEN ANKLE IN TWO PLACES, TORN FOOT LIGAMENTS, AND BURNS FROM AIRBAGS. I AM ANGRY, BECAUSE I FOUND OUT ABOUT SEVERAL RECALLS THAT ARE OUT WITH MY CAT THAT I WAS UNAWARE OF. I HAVE HAD MY CAR SERVICED WITH DODGE ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING WITHIN THE PAST 6/7 MONTHS. SOMETHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT THIS...I COULD HAVE DIED!!!!! *TR

I OWN A 2007 DODGE CHARGER RT WITH A HEMI. THE GEAR SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON POLICE CARS BUT THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MILEAGE IS 88,125. IT'S FUNNY I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS FOUND THROUGH A DEFECT INVESTIGATION CONDUCTED ON MORE THAN 20,000 POLICE CARS. THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED IN THOSE VEHICLES AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED. THE VEHICLES ARE BUILT THE SAME AND I UNDERSTAND POLICE CARS NEED TO BE PROGRAMMED DIFFERENTLY WITH REINFORCED SUSPENSION AND OTHER FEATURES TO DO THEIR JOBS BUT ITS THE SAME CABLE ON MY CAR THAT DISLODGES THAT'S FOUND ON AN OFFICERS CAR. I FIXED MY CAR. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V58300 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT.) *TR

2007 DODGE CHARGER R/T WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A REPAIR CENTER FOR DIAGNOSIS; HOWEVER, IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR CHARGERS. THERE WAS A RECALL DONE FOR 05-07 CHARGER/MAGNUM/CHRYSLER 300 LX MODEL VEHICLES, FOR AN ISSUE WITH THE SHIFT LEVER. UPON CALLING THE CHRYSLER CORP. TO SEE IF THE R/T MODEL (WITH AN UPGRADED ENGINE SIZE) WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, I WAS INFORMED IT WAS NOT. IF THE RECALL WAS ON THE BASE MODEL, IT SHOULD BE RECALLED ON ALL, AS THE BASICS OF THE CAR STRUCTURE ITSELF, AND THE BASIC PARTS USED, WOULD MOST LIKELY BE THE SAME. IF THEY ADMIT TO A DEFECTIVE PART IN THE LX, DO RIGHT BY THE CUSTOMERS, AND ALLOW THE RECALL TO ENCOMPASS ALL MODELS OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER BROKE RESULTING IN THE INABILITY TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER OUT OF THE "PARK" POSITION. I SEE THAT OTHER CARS THAT ARE VERY SIMILAR TO MINE, IF NOT THE SAME CAR AS MINE, THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM HAVE HAD FACTORY RECALLS ON THIS...... 2005-2007 DODGE CHARGER, MAGNUM AND CHRYSLER 300 .....BUT UNFORTUNATELY MINE DOESN'T AND I DON'T KNOW WHY. *TR
