Shifter-transmission part # 68091341aa broke. Therefore I could not back the car out of my garage abd had to have the car towed to the dealer. He said part is not a recalled item for my car, but it is for lots of other cars like mine, but it was not built in a defective plant!. I got charged $269. 01 plus about $100 for towing costs. I also got charged another $15. 00 for two visor clips. This is the third time they have failed.
I first had problems about 6 months ago when I could not get my car out of park. This happened periodically. I was also having a problem with the transmission. I took it into a transmission specialist. The two problems were unrelated. The transmission specialist said my shifter had to be replaced. I was out of town at the time, so I told them to replace it. Later, I happened on customer satisfaction notification k39 transmission shifter interlock lever issued by Chrysler. Chrysler could not provide me with the date of issue of this notification. The notification states it applies to "some 2005 through 2007 model year Dodge charger, magnum and Chrysler 300 equipped with a floor shifter. " it refers to an "inability to move the gear shift lever out of the ã‚parkã‚쳜 position. " it further states "if you have already experienced this condition and have paid to have it repaired, please send your original receipts. . . Once we receive and verify the required documents, reimbursement will be sent to you within 60 days. " I sent in the requested materials. I was informed Chrysler would not reimbursement me because my car was not part of the recall. I find this hard to accept. There was obviously a problem with shifter interlock levers, but for some reason Chrysler is only recalling some of the problems, not all of them.
Cannot use side mirrors. The mirror looks like it has something growing inside it. It appears to be a glass failure. I cant see cars behind me using these mirrors.
I have had problems getting the rear driver side door to completely unlock and open ever since I purchased this vehicle. Occasionally the rear passenger door would do the same. I have even had the front passenger door behave this way. I am writing now, because the rear passenger door almost never unlocks and opens anymore. With both back doors not unlocking and opening, it concerns me greatly that this is a serious safety hazard should I need to immediately gain access from the outside or the rear passengers need to get out from the inside. The only way to get the doors to open is to pull up extremely hard on the door lock posts.
