I OWN A 2007 DODGE CHARGER RT WITH A HEMI. THE GEAR SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON POLICE CARS BUT THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MILEAGE IS 88,125. IT'S FUNNY I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS FOUND THROUGH A DEFECT INVESTIGATION CONDUCTED ON MORE THAN 20,000 POLICE CARS. THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED IN THOSE VEHICLES AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED. THE VEHICLES ARE BUILT THE SAME AND I UNDERSTAND POLICE CARS NEED TO BE PROGRAMMED DIFFERENTLY WITH REINFORCED SUSPENSION AND OTHER FEATURES TO DO THEIR JOBS BUT ITS THE SAME CABLE ON MY CAR THAT DISLODGES THAT'S FOUND ON AN OFFICERS CAR. I FIXED MY CAR. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V58300 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT.) *TR

WE OWN A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. CAR WORKED GREAT UNTIL I TRIED TO LEAVE OUT OF MY GARAGE. I TURNED ON THE CAR AND THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE IT TOWED IN. WE HAVE THE EXTENDED 72 MONTH, 75,0000 MILE WARRANTY AND THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME WAS 45,000. AFTER HAVING OUR CAR TOWED, THE DODGE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED THAT THIS PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER OUR WARRANTY AND WOULD COST $323 WITH PARTS & LABOR. ONE PERSON EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. SO I'VE RESEARCHED THIS DEFECT AND HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE....AND I AM SURPRISED THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. WE OWN 2 DODGE VEHICLES AND WERE CONSIDERING GETTING A DURANGO, BUT IF THIS PROBLEM ISN'T RESOLVED OR AT LEAST COVERED BY OUR WARRANTY, WE WILL CONSIDER BUYING ANOTHER MAKE OF CAR. *TR
