Door locks lock and unlock automatically when fob is in range. Continuously chirping. When key inserted on driver side ( only door site to insert key) the door locks and unlocks continuously while chirping. ( battery to fob new). Extremely sensitive to slightest touch or hover; door locks have a mind of their own( up and down repetively). Once unlocked, alarm goes off until key is inserted into ignition to silence. May take 3-4 minutes to enter car. Pose danger at night or during inclement weather. Vehicle performed the above stationary but have been locked out while car was running after key inserted; door closed manually after unlocked and car locked by itself when door closed instantly. Required a lock smith to open.

4 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 07/11/2013

Car would not shift out of park - researched issue online to find this is a common problem with Chrysler/Dodge products that the shift interlock mechanism fails and the car becomes undriveable as it will not shift out of park. Took apart shift console to manually move mechanism out of park and get it to the dealership for repair. Dealer confirms shift interlock mechanism was at fault. 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.
