2007 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK, THE SHIFT LEVER WOULD NOT MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CABLES IN THE GEAR SHIFT WERE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT SPOKEN WITH THE MANUFACTURER AT WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 19,000.

I DROVE CAR THE NIGHT BEFORE AND EVERYTHING WORKED PROPERLY. THE NEXT DAY I STARTED THE CAR AND TRIED TO GO INTO REVERSE. THE GEAR WOULDN'T MOVE. IT WAS STUCK IN PARK. I TRIED THE PINK BUTTON BY THE GEAR BOX AND THAT WOULDN'T EVEN GET THE GEAR OUT OF PLACE. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO A CHRYSLER/DODGE SERVICE. I WAS INFORMED I NEEDED A SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WHICH WAS NOT COVERED IN MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND MY MANUFACTURER WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. IT COST $350 TO FIX. I TALK WITH OTHER DODGE CHARGER OWNERS WHO HAVE SAID THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THEM AND HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO GET THIS FIXED. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM IF DIFFERENT PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT STATES AND DEALERSHIPS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE SERVICE REGARDLESS IF HAVE A WARRANTY IF THIS IS A DEFECT CREATED ORIGINALLY BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

MY CAR IS STUCK IN PARK! I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED. I DROVE IT TODAY WITH NO PROBLEMS THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I TRY TO LEAVE AND IT WONT ALLOW ME TO PUT IT IN REVERSE. I HAVE SEEN A NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS COMMON WITH THESE CARS. "MY CAR HASN'T BEEN REPAIRED YET!" I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT I DIDN'T CAUSE. *TR

2007 DODGE CHARGER, ONLY 50,000 MILES. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. CAR STUCK IN PARK. NUMEROUS ON LINE COMPLAINTS REGARDING DODGE VEHICLES OF VARIOUS MODELS. *TR

UPON ARRIVING FOR MY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE AND TIRE EXCHANGE FROM SNOWS TO SUMMER, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY TIE ROD ENDS ON BOTH FRONT WHEELS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS THEY WERE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON. SO I INSTRUCTED THEM TO GO AHEAD AND FIX IT AS I NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND SAFETY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE WHEN YOU TRANSPORT YOUR CHILD ON A REGULAR BASIS (AS WELL AS MYSELF). I DIDN'T REALIZE AT THAT TIME THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR I WOULD HAVE GONE TO A DAIMLERCHRYSLER/DODGE DEALER TO GET IT FIXED. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A CAR WITH 33,000 MILES TO NEED TWO NEW TIE RODS. THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY REPAIR AS I HAD NO PREVIOUS INDICATION THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM AT ALL. LEAVING WITHOUT GETTING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED WAS NOT AN OPTION AS I AM NOT WILLING TO PUT MINE OR MY DAUGHTER'S SAFETY IN JEOPARDY AS SHE WAS WITH ME AT THE TIME OF THE APPOINTMENT. I AM AWARE OF THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR THAT CAN BE CAUSED WHEN A TIE ROD (OR BOTH) FAILS AND DIDN'T THINK TWICE ABOUT GOING AHEAD WITH THE REPAIRS. UPON SPEAKING WITH A REPRESENTATIVE AFTER THE FACT TO GET A REIMBURSEMENT (FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE BACK OF THE OWNERS MANUAL REGARDING EMERGENCY REPAIRS NOT DONE AT A DEALER), DAIMLERCHRYSLER STATED THEY WOULD ONLY REPLACE THE PARTS. THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH AS I DID NOT HAVE ANY OTHER OPTION. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING, WHICH WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN FULLY COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY BY GOING TO A DAIMLERCHRYSLER DEALER, ESPECIALLY BEING A SAFETY ISSUE. HAD THE TIE RODS INDEED BROKEN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, NOT ONLY WOULD IT HAVE INCURRED ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF DAMAGE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY UNSAFE FOR MYSELF AND MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. RESEARCH OVER THE INTERNET HAS SINCE INDICATED THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH DAIMLERCHRYSLER VEHICLES AND THIS IS NOT A REPAIR I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR. *TR
