My vehicle begins to stall out at low speeds or while idling. While slowing down for a light or just waiting for the traffic light to change. I brought the vehicle to the Chrysler dealership at gwinnette Chrysler stone mountain georgia and the problem was diagnosed to be the fuel tank needing replacement after paying 3000. 00 dollars for repairs that did not resolve the issue. I was then given a final diagnosis that the fuel tank was the issue and it was going to cost 4500. 00 to replace. Today is April 1 and I just picked up my vehicle after it was sitting in the dealership for almost 1 month and still the problem has not been resolved. Please help me. My vehicle is sitting in my driveway with a car cover because I am afraid to drive it in this condition. Lascelle a. Soares 919 natchez valley trace grayson georgia 30017 718 644 6371. Laswarrez@aol.

Our car only has 32641 miles on it there was a recall on the gear shift pin or spring for our model between 2007 &2009 we can't get the car out of park and swope Dodge won't take care of and neither Dodge corp or mopar won't do anything about it because it"s past warranty. So it sits in our garage where its been parked for a year useless its our vacation car and I'm now on social security and can't afford a huge repair bill .

Vehicle shift interlock latch is broken. The latch allows the vehicle to shift from gear to gear or will prevent the shifting. After researching the issue, it was learned the piece was a recall piece (k39) but according to Dodge only on certain vehicles and our vehicle does not meet the standards required for recall. Although Dodge just simply ships the same item to various location across the world, our vehicle was built in the area that does not afford recall status; eventhough it was built with the exact same faulty part.

Car started and wouldn't move out of park. Had to be towed to dealership. Broken internal shifter mechanism, they replaced the shifter assembly. This is a recall on other models but not the srt 8. The srt 8 model needs to be added too. The car only had 62,000 miles when this occurred.

Vehicle would not shift out of park. Car was taken to Dodge dealer where other recalls that were associated with VIN were addressed (I. E. Driver and passenger airbag) the dealer was not able to address the interlock lever as it was not in their system and they directed me to contact Chrysler to address the discrepancy. Chrysler had issued "customer satisfaction notification k39" in February of 2011 that addressed this transmission shifter interlock lever. The notification indicates there are about 28,800 vehicles that may be affected and provides instructions on getting it repaired if your vehicle build date falls between June 25,2007 through September 21,2007 (my vehicle was built 3 months prior to this window) and because of this does not populate into the dealerconnect global recall system. It is my logic that the dates established in the notification do not fully encompass the issue being addressed, and because of these hard dates that dictate whether your vehicle is affected (regardless of whether or not you are stuck in park) , I have had no progress in dealing with Chrysler group 'recall' assistance center because to them, on paper, my car is "not affected". For amplifying data, reference "customer satisfaction notification k39".

I've had many issues wrong with my car. The first complaint I would like to express is how the car shuts off on me without warning. While driving on the freeway and on busy streets, my car will shut off, but it will start right back up. This is a dangerous hazard and safety concern. I've taken my car to the gresham Dodge (on ne burnside) dealership to address this issue (503-666-2277). I was told "if it happens again, bring it back" there was no concern with Dodge that they were sending a dangerous vehicle back out on the road, that could potentially cause an accident. This was an issue that needed to be addressed now, not later. Dodge never solved that issue. Furthermore, my car was stuck in the park position on the eve of 4-18-16. I tried to get it into gear, without any success. I had to call for a tow truck. While waiting for a tow, I decided to google Dodge Chargers stuck in park. On youtube, there were so many others with the same issue. They had video of how to get the car out of park. You had to pry the covering off of the shifting unit. Stick a pen inside to move a wire around, in order to get the car into gear. It worries me that Dodge is aware of transmission issues and other issues with their vehicles, yet nothing is being done to fix it. I could of seriously been hurt or seriously hurt someone else while being on the freeway and my car just shutting off. They should be concerned enough to want to look into this issue and fix it. As I stated before, there are numerous videos on youtube with other people experiencing the very same issues. I did file a complaint on the bbb website, along with everyone else. My main objective for this site is to bring out how dangerous it is to operate my car under these conditions, that Dodge did not seem to care about. Sounds as if there are transmission and or engine issues with the car that needs immediate attention.

When trying to leave the parking lot of a grocery store, my vehicle would not shift out of park. Never having a shifting issue before, I was in a panic as to what to do, since I had my children with me and felt stranded. After paying to have my vehicle towed to a service center, I found out about the k39 recall from Chrysler, which was exactly what was wrong with my vehicle. However, since my vehicle was manufactured 6 weeks before the start date for the 2007 models, I'm not included in this recall. It clearly doesn't matter that hundreds of customers are having the same issue as me, but are still having to pay $400+ to fix something that should be covered. After spending 30 minutes listening to a rep at the Chrysler recall center tell me how often he's heard of this complaint, just to tell me that I'm s. O. L. Is beyond frustrating! this experience has turned me off from buying another Chrysler product ever again!.
