Notification code k39 the transmission gear shift lever interlock return spring hook broke. The broken interlock return spring hook was the result of the inability to move the gear shift lever out of the park position.

The first incident happened after I was driving on the freeway for about 30 miles I parked the car with the car on so I can have the air on. I had to move my car and the car wouldn't move. The shifter would move but it didn't seem to change into gear. I had it towed to a transmission shop thinking it was a transmission problem. The shop looked it over and found nothing wrong with the transmission they said it was the brakes that were locked up so they unplugged the abs and that seemed to fix the problem. The second incident happened when I was driving home from work and came to a stop at an intersection when I pulled away from the light the car hadn't switched gears and wouldn't accelerate. When I parked the car there was a heavy smell of the brakes burning.

The car is stuck in park and after calling Dodge they tell me that my car doesn't fall under the recall due to my VIN #. The thing is they know this problem is happening to a lot of their vehicles why not have all the cars that experience this problem be in the recall. I don't understand.

The vehicle will not come out of park. Vehicle towed to dealership. Tech diagnosed problem as needing to replace the transmission shifter interlock lever. Labor, parts, taxes, and misc. Charges totaled $498. 18 were paid by customer. Dealer stated there was no recall for part from Chrysler. On Charger forums found posts that Chrysler had issued a k39 notification letter which could be filled out and sent to Chrysler group recall center. Customer submitted form. Chrysler responded that vehicle was built one month before recall range so it would not be covered. Customer does not agree with Chrysler's recall range in that it is too limited and needs to be expanded. Same part is failing, whether vehicle was built in recall range or a month earlier. It is still a dangerous problem in that the vehicle is inoperable and can leave the driver and family stranded in unfamiliar surroundings and late at night. Chrysler should include vehicle in recall and pay for all parts and labor.

I was at an open mall and I parked my Charger, I noticed I was to close to the car next to me so I decided to move it to another parking spot. When I turned on my car, I was unable to move the shifter, it became stuck. I was unable to move my vehicle. I tried everything thinking, moving the steer wheel, tapped on the brakes etc and the car would not shift. I was in a very bad area of town and was alone. I had to call a tow truck and that was going to take a couple. So I was stuck alone waiting. After reading in many websites. It looks like I have not been the only one with the problem. Seems like thousands of other chryslers owners had issues. When the tow truck finally arrived, he had already helped 4 other people owning a Dodge Charger with the same problem. And once I was at Dodge picking up my vehicle. They too told me that many people had gone in to get the same problem fixed in just a few weeks. I believe with so many people having the same problem, there should be some sort of recall. Luckly no one has gotten hurt that I know of because of this. As a single mom, I really cant afford an expense that should be covered by Chrysler. I have always serviced my vehicle and is in pristine condition. . And honesly I love it. . But I dont love paying for something that should be breaking to begin with. Thank you. .

I've recently had a problem with my shifter not wanting to move out of park. I contacted the dealership and was told that there was no recall listed for my VIN number. I did research online and found that this is a common problem with the 2007 Chargers like mine, and many people have been told that their VIN doesn't fall under the limited recall. I was told by Dodge's customer service that it was a VIN-specific recall, and there was nothing they could do for me. I filed a formal complaint with Dodge's customer service today. . I'm stuck with a vehicle that now requires me to press a hot pink lever in the console when the gear shift sticks, and no one at Dodge seems to be bothered that this is happening to thousands of customers who didn't fall under the limited recall. There has been at least 261 complaints on the 2007 Charger filed with national highway traffic safety administration. Out of those 261 complaints, 143 were about power train issues. And of those 143 power train complaints, 121 were about the transmission gear shifter interlock lever. This is only on the NHTSA website. There are many, many more on various sites on the web. Thank you.

I was driving home along with my wife from running errands when my vehicle shut down while driving at 45mphs per hour. I called aaa to come and tow my vehicle. They did just that and the service-contracted towing company for aaa dropped my Dodge Charger rt off to the auto repair shop that I'm accustomed to going. The mechanic told me that the battery was drained heavily from the engine problem. So he took out the old battery I had and put in a new battery. Once he did that he tried to get the Dodge Charger rt to start but there was no luck. But eventually some electrical power was restored to a level in order for a diagnostic test to be performed. Once this mechanic completed the diagnostic test he told me that the codes he received are identical to the recall problems associated with the 2007 model of the Dodge Charger rt. He told me that the 2007 model for this vehicle had the most recall problems for the issue that I experienced which were engine problems. He said that the engine problems were the second most recalled issue after the transmission problems for this vehicle. He told me that I needed to investigate about getting a recall complaint made for this vehicle with the manufacturer (Dodge), because the engine problem justified the same recall issues that previous owners had with the model and year of this vehicle. Please help me because I was told that the manufacturer warranty expired.
