POWER TRAIN
SOMETIMES WHEN STATING FROM A STOP, LIKE A STOP LIGHT OR ENTERING ON A ROAD, THE TRANSMISSION WILL MAKE A LOUD SOUND IN THE REAR AND LOCK IN IN ONE GEAR. I NEED TO PULL OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND START OUT AGAIN. IT WILL GO INTO REVERSE AND PARK BUT WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY UNTIL I DO THIS. SOMETIMES I NEED TO RESTART IT MORE THAN ONCE TO GET IT TO SHIFT, NOT VERY GOOD WHEN IT DOES THIS IN TRAFFIC. ALSO THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON BUT SO FAR HAS RESET ITSELF AFTER A FEW CYCLES

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING GAS TANK ( FULL) THE CAR STALLS FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF MILES. THEN STOP SHORTLY AFTER. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2005-2006 MODELS WITH THE 5.7 AND 6.1 LITER ENGINES, BUT NOT FOR THE 3.5 LITER THAT I OWN EVEN THOUGH I HAVE FOUND THROUGH THE CHRYSLER FORUMS THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MANY OF THESE MODEL ( 2005-20006) CHRYSLER GAVE A LIFE TIME WARRANTY TO THE 5.7 AND 6.1 LITER MODELS , BUT NOT MINE. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS THE SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM AS THOSE VEHICLES.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK ON ABOUT 28,800 OF THE ABOVE VEHICLE BROKE. A BROKEN INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK WILL RESULT IN THE INABILITY TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER OUT OF THE 'PARK' POSITION. THERE IS A RECALL FOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER FOR THE FOLLOWING VEHICLE WHICH IS THE SAME AS MINE BUT THE "LX": 2005 - 2007 (LX) DODGE CHARGER, MAGNUM AND CHRYSLER 300. WHY DOES THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH THE SAME AUTOMOBILE, WITH THE SAME YEAR DOES NOT APPLY TO A "SL"? HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO SPEND TO REPAIR A MANUFACTURING MALFUNCTION FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL. I PARKED MY CAR AND ON MY WAY TO WORK I COULD NOT MOVE THE GEAR, IT STUCK TO P.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF ALL AT ONCE. I IMMEDIATELY PUT EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON AND CRANK IT UP ONLY FOR IT TO DO THE SAME THING 3 OR 4 MORE TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS TO DRIVE NORMAL AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THIS HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, TURNING OR WHENEVER IT FEEL LIKE CUTTING OFF.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE VEHICLE STARTED STALLING RIGHT AFTER I STARTED DRIVING AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, DURING A HEAVY TRAFFIC HOUR ON CITY STREET. AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND WAITING A FEW MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART BUT THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED QUITE OFTEN. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG, BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS GETTING WORSE. AFTER TALKING WITH THEM TODAY, THEY SAID TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN ALMOST FULL OF GAS AND THEY WILL TOP IT OFF AND CHECK FOR THE STALLING. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, KNOWING IT WILL STALL IN TRAFFIC. THE COST TO REPAIR IF NOT COVERED IS APPROX. $1,500. I ASKED ABOUT THE EXTENDED LIFETIME COVERAGE AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT YOU. MY PROBLEM MATCHES EXACTLY WHAT IS DOCUMENTED IN YOUR INVESTIGATION DOCUMENT PE 13-016.

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, THE CAR SOMETIMES STALLS AT SLOW SPEEDS OR LOW RPM UNTIL A GALLON OR SO OF GAS IS USED UP, THE CAUSE IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE FUEL VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAIT FOR A MINUTE OR SO AND IT TURNS BACK ON AFTER RESTART IT.. INITIALLY IT WAS ONLY DOING THIS AS I WAS COMING OFF THE FREEWAY. THEN AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER AT THE STOP LIGHT. IT PROGRESSED TO TURNING OFF AS I WAS DRIVING AT 65 MILES ON THE FREEWAY. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. LUCKILY I WAS ON THE RIGHT LANE AND THERE WERE NO CARS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED AT THE LEAST. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT ALSO HAPPENED ON THE STREET WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND THE CAR TURNS OFF. IN A STRETCH OF FIVE MILES, IT HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. IT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE APRIL 3 AND THE DEALER STILL CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY, THEN THE SPARK PLUGS. THEY STILL HAVE IT AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.
