Transmission Stuck In Gear Problems of Dodge Charger

I started a uconnect system update while I was still parked. The disclaimer said nothing about to not update while driving. I started the update and started driving (my commute is about 25 minutes). It took about 10-15 minutes to download the update. Once it downloaded, the system reset. At this time I was in cruise control on a freeway that was ending, so I turned off my cruise control and then my car jolted forwarded as if it were in a very low gear and almost caused me to crash. I then was stuck in 1st gear while the system was rebooting and couldn't automatically or manually shift past 1st gear leaving me stuck on the side of the road. Then a screen popped up saying there was 50 minutes left on the update. I was stuck on the side of the road until the update finished. After that, my gears were shifting normally. During this time, I called Dodge and opened a case letting them know what happened. The picture I provided was a picture after I was already stopped on the side of the road.

While slowing down from about 40mph to about 20mph to make right hand turns, engine shifts very roughly from 3rd to 2nd to 1st and after completing the right turn remains stuck in low gear and does not shift as accelerator is pressed. Almost stalls, but after a few seconds, the normal shift pattern resumes. This has happened intermittently a few other times, such as approaching a red to green traffic signal. When approaching red light, I decelerate to stop but don't make complete stop as light changes to green, car downshifts into 1st gear but wont upshift smoothly into 2nd/3rd gear when re-accelerating the vehicle.

On 1-14-16, while driving, heard a "thump" type noise in my right rear. This also activated my check engine light. Also I noted significant reduction in ability to accelerate, as in the car was stuck in a higher gear. Drove straight to my local mechanic. The car would not turn off or go into park. However, my mechanic located certain codes in his check, being, p1dc7-00, p215c-00, p1db6-00, u1412-00, and p1915-00. He then located a recall for the 2013 Dodge Charger for a related transmission issue. The same "symptoms" are listed in that recall, as to what happened with my car. The same type of engine (3. 6 liter, with 8 speed automatic transmission). I contacted Dodge, and they seemed less than concerned to check into this, due to the VIN number to my car, was not in the recall. They just wanted me to get it to a dealership to have it properly diagnosed. Vehicle is well maintained, and has about 44,500 miles on it.

My 2006 Dodge Charger transmission shifter is stuck on the park position. When I contacted Chrysler in regards to their customer satisfaction notification k39 transmission shifter interlock lever recall they stated that my car was not in recall but on the notification it states 2005 - 2007 Dodge Chargers where on recall for the shifter inter lock being stuck on the park position. I was told that only certain VIN numbers where on recall & that although my car is experiencing the same problem with the same part its not on recall, but if my car was in that same time frame, has the same parts & is experiencing the same problem as the others that where on recall why is my car not on that recall & why I cannot get my car repaired?.

I bought my 2006 Dodge Charger 3. 5l v6 new in may 2006. I absolutely loved this car until summer of 2009 just after my warranty expired, my gear shifter stuck in the park position and had to have it towed. I called Dodge to see if there was a recall on this problem after reading about so many other people that had same issue. Was told no, I paid to have it fixed somewhere around $450-500. On Monday I had to have my car towed because it broke down on my way home from work. It sounded like the car was going to explode like in a cartoon. It was making knocking noises and sounded like a diesel truck. Mechanic told me that my engine was shot. How could this be? my car has 67,716 miles on it!!! very low mileage for a 2006 vehicle. Called Dodge and asked if there was a recall on the engine problem. I read of many, many other people having this same issue. No recall, but if I can have it towed to an approved Dodge dealer and get a diagnosis from their mechanic, call back. I was given a claim # from Dodge hq. I have an insurance adjuster going out tomorrow morning to assess the damage and the problem. I am furious! I spent a lot of money on this car and it should last more than 67k miles! update from Aug 5, 2014 update: 8/5/14 insurance told me that it is a known common issue with the Dodge Charger and because of this, there are not many recycled engines available or if they are found, it might have same issue as mine did. Adjuster said that it was a pressure leak that only happens while driving causing the filter to expand and oil to leak. My engine is beyond repair! I called Dodge hq again and was told that there are no recalls on my vehicle after checking my VIN#. Also told me they will not help me. They told me I can file a complaint with ntsha. Meanwhile I am taking the bus. Not a happy camper!.

The automatic transmission will not shift properly. It gets stuck in second gear.

Drove to a business and once placed in park, the gear shift became stuck. Called aaa, they were going to tow it, then another driver showed up for aaa and knew just what to do. He takes apart the case that goes around the gear shift and presses on a pink colored emergency park release lever, ( why is that even an option??!!! ) it was obviously not attached to any thing as it fell down into the space around the shifter and still resides there. The discussion of towing it came up again, then we noticed a cable attached to the shifter and after playing with it have developed a system to unlatch it from park. You have to pull the cable to the left with a pen to disable the gear shift. Today I took it to where I bought it and they told me there was a recall on this and to take it to the Dodge dealership. The Dodge dealership knew just what I was talking about, but denies a recall on this. I am scheduled to have it fixed Monday the 12th. I dont feel I should have to keep paying for faulty equipment, this car has been a disaster since I bought it. The front end has been fixed about 4 times for vigourously shaking and a god awful rattling noise ( goes away for a short time then returns shortly after being fixed!!), numerous tires have been bought because that must be the problem too ( out of the mouths of the dealership), the tire pressure light stays on, the abs light system malfunctions and has left me with a no brake sensation on multiple occasions. I have always owned Dodges, but next time I purchase a vehicle it wont be a Dodge.

I had some issues with my car stalling and getting stuck in gear, I was told by a mechanic to change the strainer which was supposed to be done there at his shop along with some body work. After getting my car back I drove it maybe 2 days before it completely just stopped going into gear. I can crank it up but the car will not budge. Now today 5/12/2013 my brother showed me a button that is in the gear shift that you can push to get it out of gear. So I guess the problem is that the button that is supposed to pushed this in when you push the brakes down is no longer working. I was thinking transmission and that is not my problem.

The shifter selector is stuck in the "park" position. A small plastic part breaks underneath the shift selector causing the malfunction. This is a common problem on Chrysler 300, Dodge magnum, and Charger. A recall was issued only on some 2005-2007 models. It is the same problem for all of these cars yet why is only some vins covered? there is various aftermake replacements made of metal as the original should have been since it is a vital component. This is a flawed design made of week material. This should be repaired free of charge, but Dodge doesn't want to take care of this problem. ## VIN passed ## Dodge Charger srt8 2006 ##.

On Feb. 27th, 2012, I started my car in an attempt to drive to work. The car started up fine. I tried to shift from the park position to reverse, but the car would not shift into any other gear - it was stuck on park. I followed the instructions in the manual which advised to press the override switch located in the compartment near the shifter. This did not work. Instead, I had to tow my car to the nearest auto repair shop and was presented with a bill of $456 for parts and labor to repair the shifter. Apparently, this is happening with many Dodge Chargers, yet a recall on this has not been issued. I did some research and there is a forum where people who have experienced this issue complain of the same things. This needs to be addressed immediately and Dodge needs to be held responsible. .

I had parked my 2007 Dodge Charger r/t, and later that night about to leave for work my gear shift was stuck in park. I have tried everything to get it unstuck with no luck.

There have been hundreds of complaints and yet no one has helped us.

Vehicle shifter stuck in park. Driver stranded on rural secondary road at night. Problem has occurred once to me. Upon researching the matter further, this problem is the most common problem with this and other models with the same shifter and has occurred thousands of times. Vehicle towed to nearest dealer and repaired for $312. 00. Have possession of old parts.

Shifter stuck in park. After research on internet, found it is a common problem. Why would a major car manufacturer use a cheap easily breakable plastic part in a component that is used so frequently.

Shifter stuck in park. Car drove fine, parked it at night, the next morning the car would not move out of park. Researched the problem online, found a fix (to prevent calling a tow), and drove the Charger to the dealer. I expected this to be covered under a recall (#08v583000). But it was not, called Chrysler and they stated that my vehicle was not covered. How many times does this have to happen before the manufacturer will do something about it? admit to the problem, pay for the repair, and consumers would be satisfied. Very displeased with Chrysler/Dodge. Other problems manufacturer will not pay for, rotor/brake pads wearing prematurely/loud squeal, drivers window leaves starch marks on glass, abs light on, engine sputters.
