2006 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE GEAR LEVER FAILED TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE. AFTER WAITING A FEW MOMENTS, THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE WAS SLIGHTLY MOVED INTO A DIFFERENT POSITION IN ORDER FOR THE GEAR TO SHIFT CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT OF A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V583000 (POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: LEVER AND LINKAGE: COLUMN SHIFT). THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER FOR AN ALIGNMENT AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE TIE ROD ASSEMBLY ON BOTH WHEELS. MY CAR HAD JUST TURNED 50,000 MILES. *TR

ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT DAYS AND TIMES, THE 2006 DODGE CHARGER CUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, WHEN CAR COMES TO A HALT/STOP AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND THE ENGINE CUTS COMPLETELY OFF YET THE RADIO AND LIGHTS STILL WORK. JUST TODAY, TRAVELLING WITHIN 7-8 MILES FROM MY WORK TO HOME THE CAR CUT OFF 6 TIMES AND I AM SCARED TO DEATH THAT THIS CAR WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT SPUTTERS THEN SHUTS OFF BUT WHEN U PRESS TEH GAS IT ACCELERATES AND CONTINUES FORWARD. OR IT'LL CUT OFF COMPLETELY, IN WHICH I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY ALL THE WAY OFF AND SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE CRANKING BACK UP. AT THAT TIME IT STALLS TO CRANK UP BEFORE TURNING OVER COMPLETELY. IT CAN'T BE THE STARTER OR ALTERNATOR BECAUSE I CAN HEAR IT TURNING OVER. *TT

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER, IT DIED AS I WAS TURNING. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON ME COMPLETELY. I TOOK IT IN TO OUR LOCAL DODGE SERVICE CENTER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. A MONTH AND A HALF LATER THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS, THIS TIME WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ON OUR LOCAL HIGHWAY. WE HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE SAME DODGE SERVICE CENTER AND THEY STILL CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING ON LINE AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE VEHICLES. IF THEY DO NOT FIX THIS AND THIS CAUSES AN ACCIDENT WHICH INJURES ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS I WILL BE SUING DODGE! THIS WILL TURN INTO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. *KB

THE COLUMN SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE. THE ENGINE STARTED FINE, HOWEVER THE CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. I NOTED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2006 DODGE CHARGER FOR POWER TRAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE COLUMN SHIFT, ALTHOUGH I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS I WAS INFORMED BY DODGE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE IT HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED ABOVE AND MY VEHICLE IS THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL AS THE RECALL. *TR
