STEERING
FRONT OUTER TIE ROD ENDS OF 2007 DODGE CHARGER 3.5 LITER ARE OF A NON GREASABLE TYPE. THE GREASE WHICH IS UTILIZED AT TIME OF INSTALLATION BREAKS DOWN PREMATURELY (AT AROUND 30,000 MILES) AND TURNS TO A GRITTY CLAY IN THE BALL JOINT. THIS PREMATURE BREAKDOWN OF LUBRICATION RESULTS IN THE WEARING OUT AND FAILURE OF THE TIE ROD END WHICH WILL RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF SAID VEHICLE. THESE ARE MY FINDINGS AS I DID A FAILURE MODE EVALUATION AND UPGRADED THE OEM COMPONENT TO A GREASEABLE HIGH PERFORMANCE TIE ROD END. *TR

DEAR SIR OR MADAM, I HAVE A 2007 DODGE CHARGER SRT. MY VEHICLE WILL NOT GET OUT OF PARK, BECAUSE OF A DEFECT IN THE GEAR LINKAGE. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER CORP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN MODELS BASED ON TIME THE VEHICLE CAME OUT OF PRODUCTION. ALTHOUGH I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RE-CALLS, THEY REFUSE TO FIX MY CAR. MY CAR HAS BEEN PARKED, UN DRIVABLE FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS. REGARDLESS OF PRODUCTION DATE, MY AUTO WAS MADE BY DODGE , I'M HAVING RE-CALL PROBLEM, I ONLY HAVE 37 THOUSAND MILES ON THIS VEHICLE, AND IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES!!. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO PAY FOR THEIR MESS-UP. I CAN'T AFFORD TO CONTINUE TO MAKE CAR PAYMENTS ON A PARKED CAR. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. I'VE SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER CORP. WITH NO RESOLVE. THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY THAT ALLOWS THE CAR TO GO FROM PARK TO DRIVE HAS BROKEN. CALLED DODGE AND ASKED ABOUT A RECALL AND THEY STATED ONE HAS BEEN ISSUED BUT NOT FOR MY CAR DUE TO THE TIME FRAME IT WAS BUILT. SO NO RECALL FOR MY CAR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARDS CAUSE IT COULD SLIP OUT OF GEAR OR THE BRAKES COULD FELL OR WHO KNOWS ELSE WILL HAPPEN. I NEED THIS FIXED AND NOT TO HAPPY WITH DODGE DUE TO THEY WONT ISSUE A RECALL FOR MY CAR WHEN I CAN LOOK ON THE INTERNET AND FIND OTHER CASES JUST LIKE MINE AND SAME YEAR AND MAKE AND MODEL.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, POWER TRAIN
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

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
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
