I PUT MY CAR IN PARK FOR THE NIGHT. I GOT UP THE NEXT MORNING FOR WORK BUT I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO MOVE OUT OF PARK. IT WAS COMPLETELY FINE THE DAY BEFORE. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THIS ISSUE HAPPENS TO ALOT OF PEOPLE. MY GIRLFRIEND HAS A CHRYLSER THAT DID THE EXACT SAME THING AND HAD A RECAL SENT OUT. WHEN I CALLED ABOUT MY DODGE THE VIN DOESNT FIT INTO THE DATE RANGE FOR THE VEHICLES BUILT THAT WERE RECALLED. THIS IS INSANE...SAME YR, MAKE, MODEL, PROBLEM....BUT NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TT

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

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
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

I HAD PARKED MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER R/T, AND LATER THAT NIGHT ABOUT TO LEAVE FOR WORK MY GEAR SHIFT WAS STUCK IN PARK. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET IT UNSTUCK WITH NO LUCK. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WAS NOT IN THE TIME FRAME FOR THE RECALL. THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AND YET NO ONE HAS HELPED US. *TR
