| Latches/locks/linkage problems |
I went to drive my 2007 Dodge Charger and it was stuck in park. No other problems. I investigated and found out that Chrysler has a defective part in these cars. They want to charge the consumer to fix the problem although it is well known that it is a manufacturing problem. (its a cheap plastic pink release button that goes out at any given time causing the car to be stuck in park) this is not the consumer's problem this needs to be recalled instead I was told since I was the second owner of the car there is nothing they can really do. It costs roughly $500. 00 to be fixed. Really makes a happy customer question the quality of their service. .
My 2007 Dodge Charger had a part failure in the shifter mechanism that prevented it from being moved from park. This occurred at 8 pm at night on top of a parking garage when I had my family with me. It took over an hour to locate a towing company that could get to me because of the parking garage. The dealership informed me the problem was a cheap plastic part that had been recalled on the avenger but not the Charger and they had been replacing about a dozen per week. Dodge should recall this part and repay the owners that have already had to make the repair.
Gear shift sticks in park due to cheap plastic part designed to break but with no remedy other than full replacement of shifter. It appears to occur in large numbers if not every Dodge Charger years 2006-2009.
