Car was parked. floor shifter would not come out of park, ignition key would not come out of ignition switch. ac distribution housing broken,vehicle wheels bent from normal driving. dealer said key, ignition switch, floor shifter, other associated parts need replacement.. over $7000 repair, wheels not included.

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge charger. the contact stated that the shift lever failed to shift out of park. the failure occurred without warning. the vehicle was towed to bowsak dealer where it was diagnosed as the transmission shift lever was defective and needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that nhtsa was responsible for the customer satisfaction campaign that covered the failure. a case number was not provided. the failure mileage was approximately 26,000.

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!

This vehicle while driving 40 mph down the road suddenly had the battery light come on then the transmission light then all the warning gauges came on and started blinking as this was happening the vehicles engine was accelerating and decelerating, and the vehicle would not go past first gear road the shoulder until i could get safely off the road. shut vehicle off it seemed to correct the problem. went to have battery and alternator checked both were fine. since then every few days the battery light will come on and then go off after vehicle is restarted. today 2/11/2015 the battery light came on again and the vehicle started to buck around 40 mph then stop if i accelerated or decelerated. and at one point when idling at a red light it stalled and then started back up. i have heard a lot of similar issues with this problem with this vehicle. we as the consumers should not to be made to shell out thousands of dollars for things that the manufacturer should stand behind. we pay enough for the car to begin with we shouldn't have to pay more for something that is obviously not isolated to one or two incidents. some of the parts that are rumored to be the problem are fcm, tcm, and ecm. all are supposedly fixed with a computer update. well then so be it don't charge us the consumer. *tr

The 2007 dodge charger seized while in gear; loss of control and speed; locked steering wheel,no acceleration,while moving at 3mph in reverse once and while merging onto i-75 @ ~8mph two other times all within 5 weeks of each other but with no indicator warning dash lights illuminating.neither of the auto mechanics could find a problem.the vehicle hasn't seized up, but the vehicle's check engine light and electronic throttle control indicator warning lights came on last week.the dodge charger manual says if the electronic throttle control light comes on, to discontinue use of the vehicle until an authorized dealer can evaluate the problem.july 7th 2014 the vehicle went to a certified dealer to be diagnosed. they said they couldn't find a reason for the lights being on.sure enough they ran me up a 900 dollar bill consisting of the following repairs:filter tr 21170001/sealer no 01081003/fluid atf 01081018/antifreeze 01081004/connector 09004009. i was told by the service manager these were the repairs needed: water outlet housing/transmission hydraulic service w/ programming/air filter/ fuel system cleaning we picked the vehicle up july 10th 2014 from dealership, drove it directly home.my girlfriend drove the vehicle 30 miles to work july 12th 2014,after an 8 hour shift she started the dodge charger letting it run idle for 5 minutes before exiting the parking lot.the vehicle was brought to a stop before entering the interstate. when she tried to accelerate the vehicle did not move or make a revving sound, the steering wheel was locked tight but hot air was continuing to blow from vents.no indicator lights were present before during or after the event. the vehicle hadn't physically acted up since the first 3 times 7 months ago, so we immediately called the dealer and she drove it directly there. *tr

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. i called the dodge dealership and they would not repair it as per notification code k39 recall. i have my repair receipts from midas auto service experts. *js

The transmission gear shift lever interlock spring hook broke off which resulted in locking of the shift lever in "park" position. the issue is very common for dodge and chrysler models and it is covered by recall k39 for dodge charger models made between 2005 and 2007. the manufacturer denied inclusion of the described condition in the k39 recall stating that my car was made few months beyond the k39 recall dates. from the manufacturer k39 letter( http://www.chrysler.com/webselfservice/pdf/k39.pdf) -to prove our commitment to quality, the company is investing in and prioritizing improvements for every vehicle that we build. as part of that commitment, we are also targeting existing vehicles on the road today and contacting our customers to provide these quality improvements, at no charge, that will help to improve your ownership satisfaction -' hogwash. *tr
