I have a 2006 dodge charger that randomly dies when i'm driving on the highway in town at slow speeds turning corners or sitting still in park it's died on me several times when people have had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting the side of me and it happens no matter what gear its in or what the rpm is at i've replace the ecm the tcm alternator battery and everything i've looked up about it online nobody has a definite fix but the problem exists in a lot of 2006 dodge chargers, and it almost always gives me one of two codes one is loss of communication with the ecm and the other is loss of communication with the tcm and then there's other times that it gives no code

My 2006 dodge charger rt will not shift out of park. this is a well known problem with 2006 chargers and "some" 2006 models are covered under a recall "k39." it seems like my 2006 charger is one of the 2006 chargers that isn't covered for some reason. i checked my vin on your website and the recall doesn't show. this happened in my driveway. any help would be appreciated. thanks

Cannot shift vehicle out of park.
My car will not accelerate over 40mph. i went to the mechanics and it said that the transmission computer isn't functioning correctly. i looked up this issue online and this is an ongoing issue with these cars. i contacted dodge they said since there is no recall then they can't do anything.
Two years ago i had to replace the engine while driving the car all the lights came on and it lost power while driving at approximately 40 mph. yesterday while on the highway going 65 mph the car lost power. this is very unsafe especially on the highway.

Vehicle was parked in drivieway, partially blocking in other vehicles in garage, and automatic transmission shifter could not be moved out of park on the morning of 6/29/17, stranding vehicle from being moved by owner. i then looked online using google search and found problem listed under chrysler recall of some 2005-2007 charger/magnum/300 models, and found instructions on how to temporarily insert screwdriver into side of transmission shift lever assembly by removing one piece of trim, and was able to then drive over to darcars chrysler/jeep/dodge rockville, maryland dealership to drop for recall repair. i left vehicle and then was told by service dept staff next day on 6/30/17 that my vin number was not part of recall, and would cost me $510 out of pocket to replace the entire transmission shifter assembly rather than replace the small cheap plastic known chrysler defect that has probably already happened to thousands of chargers/magnums/300s. lucky for me this did not happen in an emergency situaiton where i needed to move my car immediately to go to hospital, or avoid a flash fllood, hurricane, or tornado or the problem could have resulted in a total loss of the vehicle ...
