ENGINE
I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND HEARD A POP. THE COOLING FAN BLADE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR HAD BROKEN AND MADE A HOLE IN MY RADIATOR. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND THEY REPLACED THE FAN BLADE AND THE RADIATOR. THREE WEEKS LATER THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE FAN BLADE ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR, ONCE AGAIN MAKING A HOLE IN MY NEW RADIATOR. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A HUGE DESIGN FLAW AND, APPARENTLY, A HUGE PROBLEM WITH 2006-2008 CHARGERS. I'M SO GLAD I WAS IN TOWN ON SMALL LOCAL STREETS BOTH TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY KIND OF RECALL FOR THIS PART AND THERE ISN'T. I HAVE THE 5.7L V6 HEMI CHARGER AND IT HAS A LITTLE OVER 100,000 MILES.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH IS BROKEN. THE LATCH ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO SHIFT FROM GEAR TO GEAR OR WILL PREVENT THE SHIFTING. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT WAS LEARNED THE PIECE WAS A RECALL PIECE (K39) BUT ACCORDING TO DODGE ONLY ON CERTAIN VEHICLES AND OUR VEHICLE DOES NOT MEET THE STANDARDS REQUIRED FOR RECALL. ALTHOUGH DODGE JUST SIMPLY SHIPS THE SAME ITEM TO VARIOUS LOCATION ACROSS THE WORLD, OUR VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN THE AREA THAT DOES NOT AFFORD RECALL STATUS; EVENTHOUGH IT WAS BUILT WITH THE EXACT SAME FAULTY PART.
