Own 2 Chargers and both of them had the same shifter problem. Unable to shift out of park. Shifters must be replaced. I have been driving for 42 years and never had a shifter problem. Dodge should repair these problems since it is aa common problem to all 2006 Chargers.
2006 Charger will not shift out of park. Apparent interlock failure, resulting in broken plastic piece. Based on internet search found that chysler issued a customer satifaction notification k39, which only covered certain vehicles. It appears to be a very broad defect.
My 2006 Dodge Charger got stuck in park position. I had to pay almost $500 (not to mention towing expense). Now I'm looking at this site and see many, many other with the same complaint. Why isn't this a recall???.
2006 Dodge Charger is stuck in park. Pink emergency release described in the manuel does not work to resolve the problem. While researching a possible fix I noticed that this is a common defect even on newer Chargers. I believe that paying for a repair that is so common and uncontrollable is senseless.

No problems up to the point of failure. I have 42,000 miles on Dodge Charger. When I got in car two days ago, the gear would not come out of park. When I called the dealer, I didn't have to finish describing the problem, she told me that ths gear shifter had seized and what the price was to fix it. It was obviously a common problem. When I googled the problem, there were so many hits, I knew it had to be a recall item but it is not. Also, the tow service said he was certain there was a recall based on the number of Chargers he picks up with the same problem. I haven't been able to find a recall for this item but based on the number of failures, it appears there should be. The dealer has replaced the gear shifter.
My complaint is about the Charger 2006 model there are vast number of Chargers that have a problem with the gear shifter on the floor being stuck in park and will not release it has been a known fact of Dodge cars are being brought in daily to landmark Dodge in georgia and nobody has indicated to the top that its a problem needs to be address soon as possible.
I received a safety recall for my state highway patrol car. When I took it to my local dealer they would not work on it and stated they didn't know anything about it. 2 of my other partners had the same problem with the same dealership. I contacted another dealership 50 miles away and they had the recall fixed the next day. My other 2 partners went to this dealership 50 miles away and had the recall fixed quickly also. This local dealership also has not performed 1 other bulletin on this same patrol car which resulted in the item being fixed by a dealership in another state.
I purchased a 2006 Dodge Charger brand new in March 2006. Ever since then there has been problems. I have taken the car to the local Dodge dealership where the car was purchased. I had been experiencing problems with the brakes not stopping and squeaking and the fact that I could be accelerating up to about 20-30mph and the car would not go any further. The car is showing signs of transmission problems. These problems lead me to the dealership which was where the car was purchased. The service department said I needed brake pads and nothing else was wrong, which I got brake pads from a different business. The car still continues to do the same thing with the problems with the transmission and the brakes. I see there was no results with going to the dealer so I contacted the corporate Chrysler customer assistance # and they advised me to take the car back for a diagnosis, I advised them that I previously done that and there was nothing found. They told me there was nothing they could do because the dealer would need to recognize the problem.
