2006 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT FROM PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR TO LEAVE WORK I COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF PARK. I GOT A RIDE HOME AND RETURNED THE NEXT DAY AND CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN NUMEROUS TIMES AND THAT IT COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE. ONE OF THE MECHANICS HAD IT HAPPEN WHEN HE STOPPED FOR FUEL. THE PART COST $7 AND THE LABOR IS $175. I FEEL I WAS FORTUNATE THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I HAD MY INFANT GRANDKIDS WITH ME AND THAT IT HAPPENED AT WORK, SO AT LEAST I WAS NOT STRANDED SOMEWHERE ALONE. EVIDENTLY DODGE IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE MECHANIC SAID THEY USED TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SHIFT MECHANISM AND NOW DODGE HAS COME OUT WITH A CHEAPER PART TO FIX IT. IT EVIDENTLY DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE YEAR BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN ON BRAND NEW VEHICLES AS WELL AS OLDER MODELS. *TR

CONTACTED DODGE - ALTHOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS RECALLS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER DODGE/CHRYSLER MODELS/YEARS - THE 2006 CHARGER IS NOT "OFFICIALLY ON THE RECALL LIST", SO I HAD TO PAY FOR THE FAULTY MECHANISM REPLACEMENT OUT OF POCKET. *TR

I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY CAR SEEMED TO STALL AND START BACK. THE MOST SCARIEST TIMES ARE ON THE FREEWAY. I'VE BEEN IN THE FAST LANE AND HAD IT HAPPENS CAR STALLS AND KICKS BACK ON. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO DODGE DEALERS AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. I LOVE MY CAR BUT I'M REALLY GETTING SICK OF THEM NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS EVERYONE ELSE SO I'M NOT GOING TO TYPE IT UP IN DETAIL. BUT THERE IS NO REASON WHY A CAR CAN STALL ITSELF AND RESTART BACK UP WITH NO TRACE IT EVER HAPPEN. IT'S DANGEROUS TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS AND INCOMING TRAFFIC. MY CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED FROM THE ENGINE OWN AND ITS SHOWING NOTHING. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT CHAPMAN DODGE CHRYSLER AND JEEP AND I GOT THE CALL TODAY SAYING ITS NOTHING SHOWING WRONG. IT SEEMS ITS ELECTRICAL BECAUSE WHEN IT HAPPENS IT LOSES POWER AND WHEN I STARTS BACK ON IT HAS A KICK TO IT. I'M JUST ASKING FOR IT TO BE FIX BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
