Clutch Pedal/linkage Problems of Dodge Challenger

The vehicle is experiencing difficulty taking the manual transmission out of gear with the clutch pedal fully depressed. This occurs on both cold and hot start up as well as when driving or stopping during in town driving. This creates a dangerous situation in that the driver could inadvertently roll into an intersection where they do not have the right of way, another vehicle, pedestrian or building. The vehicle will "creep" on flat ground if it is not placed in neutral and the brake is released. Using our friend google I have researched this issue and it appears from discussion on multiple forums that it is a known issue for my and other model years. Two case numbers from the manufacturer seem to indicate that there is a procedure for correcting this issue. Case numbers are k38556860 and s1021000004. The case numbers are not recalls and I have never been notified of the issue by the manufacturer. I have attached a file with the two cases that explain an inspection and remedy procedure. 11/14/2019 is not the correct date of the occurrence, it has been happening for a number of years. Best guess is this issue started sometime in 2016, exact date unknown, vehicle mileage is estimated. Due to the nature of the possible dangerous situation I feel this must be addressed to the manufacturer and possibly made into a recall of all vehicles affected to accomplish the remedy as described in the attached cases. .

The 6 speed transmission at 47,000 miles is having a very hard time shifting into and out of gear at idle. With clutch pedal all the way to floor it will not go into or out of first gear or reverse. After getting it into gear and driving the transmission shifts fine. There is a known issue with the clutch and grease used on this year model.

Known tremec tr6060 issue & Dodge refuses to help!! star case# s1021000004 & k38556860. The grease used in the transmission turns into a glue at high temps causing the trans to not shift properly through the gears either going into gear or getting stuck coming out of gear. If hot enough this grease fuses the pilot & throwout bearing to the input shaft requiring those be replaced at minimum. This happened to me & the car could not be put in 1st-4th without a severe grinding noise. It can be heard in the trans & felt in both the stick & clutch pedal. The only way to slow down was to put the car in neutral & use the brakes without any engine control. Because of this high heat fusion I had to have essentially the entire trans rebuilt (bearings, synchros, input shaft & gaskets). When I spoke with Dodge (both the number listed on their website & local dealership) they acknowledged this was a known problem & that the parts have been "reworked" so the issue doesn't continue. Said parts are at a cost of $2,000 before labor. I was told that because my car is out of warranty by date that I was not covered because even though the issue is known & there are multiple reports of it all over the web there is no official recall & I have to pay completely out of pocket. This car is on 09 & has less than 30k miles on it!! I'm still in disputes with Dodge as of now but this is completely unacceptable.
