2007 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

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

TRAVELING OUT OF STATE AND RECOVERING FROM TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT. 2007 DODGE CHARGER SXT WAS OPERATING WITHOUT INCIDENT. STOPPED TO LOOK AT YARD SALE AND CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK UPON RETURN. INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. CAR LEFT ON ROAD AT THIS TIME, WHILE SEARCHING FOR ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION TO DOCTOR FOR FOLLOW-UP ON KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY. THE RESET FOR THE SHIFT LOCK WILL NOT WORK AT THIS TIME. *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.

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
