2007 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

IT IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER'S AND DODGE'S. PLASTIC SHIFT LEVER RELEASE BREAKS WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO COME OUT OF PARK. SOME CARS WERE RECALLED OTHERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PART WERE NOT. MINE WAS ONE OF THE CARS NOT RECALLED. SEARCH THE WEB FOR "DODGE CAR STUCK IN PARK". THERE ARE 1000'S OF COMMENTS AND POSTS ABOUT THIS DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING, THE GEAR BECAME LOCKED IN DRIVE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RELEASE THE DEFECTIVE SPRING OUT OF DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

WE OWN A 2007 DODGE CHARGER SXT AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OUR BRIGHTS WILL OCCASIONALLY TURN THEMSELVES ON. WHEN WE USE OUR TURN SIGNAL AND HAVE THE WIPERS ON IT WILL INCREASE THE SPEED OF OUR WIPERS, THEN SLOW THEM BACK DOWN AFTER A FEW SWIPES. *TR

STARTED MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER, WENT TO PUT CAR INTO REVERSE AND WAS UNABLE TO. CAR REMAINS IN PARK AND UNABLE TO MOVE IT. APPARENTLY THERE IS A RECALL ON 2006-2007 DODGE CHARGER, BUT ONLY SELECTED VIN'S, MINE WAS BUILT AUGUST 24, 2006 SO EVEN THOUGH I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE CARS BUILT LATER MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I AM UPSET, AND AFTER RESEARCH APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. ALL 2006-2007 DODGE CHARGERS SHOULD BE COVERED!!!! I AM UPSET!!! I WANT THE RECALL TO BE RE-OPENED TO COVER ALL THE CARS REGARDLESS OF WHEN THEY WERE BUILT DURING 2006-2007. IT'S APPARENTLY THE "BRAKE SHIFT INTERLOCK". *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 65 MPH WITH CRUSE CONTROL WHEN I FELT A ODD VIBRATION, I NOTICED THE CAR WAS OFF. WHILE I WAS COASTING ON TO THE SHOULDER, I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING AND BRAKING WERE HEAVY. I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THIS CAR IS A MOVING DEATH TRAP AND IF NOT FOR THE LIGHT TRAFFIC OR THE SIDE SHOULDER THERE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A CRASH AND OR FATALITY. *TT

ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT STARTED BACK UP AND 2 MILES SHUT OFF FOR THE 2ND TIME. NO WARNING, NO ROUGH RUNNING. DROVE APPROX. 35 MILES WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THE COMPUTER SHOWED CODE P0443 2 TIMES AND C121C ONCE. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE SITTING AT RED LIGHT. VEHICLE ENGINE REVVED SLIGHTLY AND THEN SHUT OFF. THIS SAME INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY TWENTY-FIVE TIMES SINCE THAT DATE. EACH TIME IT IS AFTER COMING TO A STOP. *TR

STARTED MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER, WENT TO PUT CAR INTO REVERSE AND WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. CAR REMAINS IN PARK AND UNABLE TO MOVE IT. APPARENTLY THERE IS A RECALL ON 2006-2007 DODGE CHARGER, BUT ONLY SELECTED VIN'S ON THE CARES BUILT BETWEEN JUNE-SEPTEMBER 2007, MINE WAS BUILT MAY 2007 SO EVEN THOUGH I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE CARS BUILT 1 MONTH LATER MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I AM UPSET, AND AFTER RESEARCH APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. ALL 2006-2007 DODGE CHARGERS SHOULD BE COVERED!!!! I AM UPSET!!! I WANT THE RECALL TO HE RE-OPENED TO COVER ALL THE CARS REGARDLESS OF WHEN THEY WERE BUILT DURING 2006-2007. IT'S APPARENTLY THE "BRAKE SHIFT INTERLOCK". *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER WAS RECALLED ON 2005 - 2007 DODGE AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES, HOWEVER AFTER CONTACTING DODGE DIRECTLY I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT BUILT DURING THE YEARS OF THE RECALL. ONCE THE LEVER IS BROKEN, YOU'RE UNABLE TO PUT YOUR CAR INTO GEAR. THE SAME ISSUE THAT WAS RECALLED FOR THE OTHER YEARS OF THESE VEHICLES HAS HAPPENED TO MY CAR. AND FROM THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE ONLINE THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPLAINS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND IT'S GOING TO COST APPROXIMATELY $390 TO HAVE THE PLASTIC LEVER REPLACED WITH THE METAL LEVER THAT'S BEING USED NOW. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH DODGE AND CHRYSLER AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURE. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AS THE CAR WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR IF THE LEVER BREAKS, AND CAN CAUSE A PERSON TO BE STRANDED. IF I NEEDED TO GET AWAY FROM SOMEONE IN A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LEAVE IN MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. I BELIEVE DODGE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD REVISIT THIS RECALL AND EXTEND TO ALL CARS IT AFFECT. MY CAR IS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER, HOWEVER IT WAS BUILT IN 2006 THEREFORE IT DOES NOT "QUALIFY" FOR THE RECALL. *TR

THE CAR STALLED 3 TIMES WITH IN A 5 MIN PERIOD. THEY WERE ALL AT STOP LIGHTS. *TR
