2007 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

GEAR SHIFT STICKS IN PARK DUE TO CHEAP PLASTIC PART DESIGNED TO BREAK BUT WITH NO REMEDY OTHER THAN FULL REPLACEMENT OF SHIFTER. IT APPEARS TO OCCUR IN LARGE NUMBERS IF NOT EVERY DODGE CHARGER YEARS 2006-2009. *TR

MY CAR SHIFTER WON'T COME OUT OF PARK. I OWN A DODGE CHARGER 2007. HAD TO GET A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE CAR TO MECHANIC. WAS TOLD THAT THEY GET AN AVERAGE OF 2 OF THESE CARS PER WEEK FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. CHECKED IN INTERNET AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. I WANT TO GET REIMBURSED FROM THE CHRYSLER/DODGE COMPANY FOR THIS EXPENSE ($518) BECAUSE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE FOR ALL THE CHARGER OWNERS. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER BROKE AND THE PIECE HAD TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED. UPDATED IVOQ 12/01/10 *TR

SHIFTER STUCK IN PARK. AFTER RESEARCH ON INTERNET, FOUND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WHY WOULD A MAJOR CAR MANUFACTURER USE A CHEAP EASILY BREAKABLE PLASTIC PART IN A COMPONENT THAT IS USED SO FREQUENTLY. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITHIN THE PAST EIGHT MONTHS, MY STEERING COLUMN HAS LOCKED UP WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. THIS OCCURRED TWICE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN ONTO A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. IN THE VERY FIRST INCIDENT THE COLUMN NOT ONLY LOCKED UP, BUT THE CAR WENT OFF ALSO.I HAD TO PLACE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE HURRIEDLY, SHIFT TO PARK, AND RESTART THE CAR TO UNLOCK THE COLUMN. ON THE SECOND OCCASION THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP CAUSING ME TO DO THE SAME ROUTINE AGAIN. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPEN WAS IN A PARKING LOT SO IT WASN'T AS SCARY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. *TR
