2007 Dodge Charger complaints

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER BROKE RESULTING IN THE INABILITY TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER OUT OF THE "PARK" POSITION. I SEE THAT OTHER CARS THAT ARE VERY SIMILAR TO MINE, IF NOT THE SAME CAR AS MINE, THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM HAVE HAD FACTORY RECALLS ON THIS...... 2005-2007 DODGE CHARGER, MAGNUM AND CHRYSLER 300 .....BUT UNFORTUNATELY MINE DOESN'T AND I DON'T KNOW WHY. *TR

2007 DODGE CHARGER WAS STUCK IN PARK. NO OTHER PROBLEMS. FOUND OUT THAT CHRYSLER HAS A DEFECTIVE PART IN THESE CARS CALLED THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER RECALLED ON SOME MODELS (NOTIFICATION CODE K39) . HOWEVER, THE OTHER DODGE CHARGERS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART. INSTEAD, THEY WANT TO CHARGE THE CONSUMER TO FIX THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. (ITS A CHEAP PLASTIC PINK RELEASE BUTTON THAT GOES OUT AT ANY GIVEN TIME CAUSING THE CAR TO BE STUCK IN PARK) THIS IS A WIDESPREAD, WELL KNOWN, HIGHLY DOCUMENTED DEFECTED PART THAT THE RECALL ONLY COVERED ON FEW MODELS NOT ALL MODELS. THIS IS A CHEAP AND UNETHICAL MOVE ON CHRYSLER-DODGE'S PART TO HAVE THE CONSUMER BEAR THE COST WHEN IT IS NOT THE CONSUMER'S PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ACROSS THE BOARD ON ANYAND ALL VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THIS CHEAP PIECE OF PLASTIC. INSTEAD SINCE MY PARTICULAR 2007 DODGE CHARGER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, I AM LEFT TO PAY ROUGHLY $500.00 TO REPAIR IT. REALLY DISHEARTENING AND PATHETIC WHEN CUSTOMERS WANT TO BUY AMERICAN BUT GET THIS AS QUALITY! *TR

MY VEHICLE IS STUCK IN PARK, TURNS OUT THAT THE SHIFT INTERLOCK OR THE "PINK THINGY" AS MOST PEOPLE KNOW IT AS IS A DEFECTIVE PART ON DODGE VEHICLES BUT THERE ARE NO KNOWN RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS 70,000 MILES. AFTER I TOOK THE COVER OF THE SHIFTER OFF, I NOTICE THAT THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO DRIVE IS TO PUSH ON THE PINK PLASTIC AND IT WILL ALLOW IT TO GO ON REVERSE,NEUTRAL,DRIVE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND READ THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM BUT DODGE IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WHILE IN PARK AND THE KEY COULD NOT BE INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE COULD BE STARTED HOWEVER, WHEN PLACED IN NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V583000 (POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: LEVER AND LINKAGE: COLUMN SHIFT). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,775.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO REVERSE FROM A RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE SHIFTER HAD TO BE TAKEN APART IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE TO SHIFT GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSIS TEST TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

REVERSE WENT OUT IN TRANSMISSION. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF ANY SORT. HAD NO IDEA THAT I EVEN HAD ANY PROBLEMS. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR ALMOST A MONTH WHILE STILL HAVING TO MAKE PAYMENTS AND FIND ANOTHER WAY OF GETTING AROUND.VEHICLE WAS JUST OVER A YEAR OLD. GOT THE VEHICLE BACK AND THE REVERSE WENT OUT IN THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN AS WELL AS THE REAR MAIN SEAL LEAKING. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR MORE REPAIRS AND WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE AGAIN FOR ALMOST A MONTH. NOW, THE MOTOR IS KNOCKING AND SKIPPING AND VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 95,000 MILES. THESE CARS ARE LEMONS AND I DON'T KNOW HOW CHRYSLER CORPORATION IS GETTING AWAY WITH THIS AND I SURE DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE BUYING A DODGE. WISH I HAD NEVER BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND SOMEBODY NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND MAKE IT RIGHT. SAD PART IS I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS GOING TO NEED MAJOR ENGINE REPAIRS OR ENGINE REPLACE AND I STILL OWE ON THE VEHICLE AND OF COURSE THERE IS NO WARRANTY LEFT. *TR

TODAY THE OUTER TIE ROD ON THE DRIVERS WHEEL SIDE SNAPPED IN HALF. THIS OCCURRED NOT AFTER HITTING A BUMP, OR A CURB, BUT PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. YES, A RIGHT HAND TURN AT LESS THAN 5 MILES AN HOUR SNAPPED THE OUTER TIE ROD IN TWO. HOW FORTUNATE AM I THAT THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT DID NOT BREAK WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY? THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE THAT DODGE KNOWINGLY PLACES UNSAFE COMPONENTS ON THEIR CARS, AND REFUSES TO RECALL THEM WHEN THE PARTS CONTINUE TO FAIL. DODGE RECALLS THE TIE RODS ON THE DAKOTA, RAM, AND DURANGO; BUT AFTER THOUSANDS OF PUBLIC COMPLAINTS THAT CHARGER TIE RODS ARE BAD ALSO, THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. ARE THEY WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO DIE BECAUSE OF THEIR UNSAFE PRODUCTS? *JS

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET THE ENGINE CUT OFF COMPLETELY. FIRST IT REVVED UP AND THEN CUT OFF ON WHILE DRIVING( IN THE DRIVE MODE). MY SON WAS IN THE CAR AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS COMING IN THE DIRECTION. THE CAR WAS THEN PLACED IN PARK AND STARTED AGAIN. IT STARTED UP AND REVVED AGAIN AND RAN AFTER THAT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TRAGIC SITUATION. I HOPE YOU CAN FIGURE OUT SOMETHING TO HELP ME MAKE SENSE OF THIS SITUATION. *TR

MY VEHICLES ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON WHILE I WAS TAKING IT TO GET INSPECTED. AAA RAN A TEST TO FIND OUT AS TO WHY THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE DIAGNOSTICS SHOULD A PROBLEM WITH THE PLENUM, AIR INTAKE VALVE AND THE CAR NEEDED A REFLASH OR UPDATE IN THE CARS COMPUTER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE DOWN TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND FOUND OUT THAT THE PLENUM IS A COMMON FAIL PART AND IS A DEALER ONLY PART AND COST 969.00 TO REPLACE. AFTER HAVING THE REFLASH DONE ON MY VEHICLE AND FINDING OUT ABOUT THE PLENUM I RETURNED TO AAA TO FIND OUT IF THEY COULD FIX THE PROBLEM CHEAPER. THEY THEN CHECKED THE RECALL LIST TO SEE IF THEIR WERE ANY RECALLS. THE RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE WERE FOR THE CARS COMPUTER SYSTEM , THE INTERLOCK MECHANISM FOR THE CLUTCH, AND THE RADIATOR FAN. AFTER FINDING OUT ABOUT THE REFLASH BEING ON RECALL I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET MY MONEY BACK AND WAS TOLD RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC, EVEN THOUGH DISTRIBUTED BY REGULAR MECHANICS. AFTER FIXING THE ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEM AND GETTING MY CAR INSPECTED, 3 DAYS LATER THE INTERLOCK MECHANISM BROKE AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO MOVE THE CLUTCH TO PUT CAR IN GEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND PAID FOR A DIAGNOSTICS AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING ARE ALL LISTED IN THE RECALLS BUT THEY CAN NOT FIX DUE TO RECALLS BEING VIN SPECIFIC. I PAID 478.00 FOR INTERLOCK TO BE FIXED. I HAVE TWO MORE ITEMS ON MY VEHICLE LISTED FOR RECALL AND I NOW KEEP GETTING A LIGHTNING BOLT WARNING SIGN ON MY DASH WHEN MY VEHICLE IS IDLE. I HAVE PA

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL CAUSES THE CAR TO LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING. IT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE.

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE CHARGER THAT I HAVE PURCHASED "USED" JUST 8 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE NOT EVEN DRIVEN 6000 MILES IN THIS CAR AND IT HAS A BAD "LIFTER" TICKING IN THE ENGINE. IT WILL COST IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $1200.00 TO REPAIR. ON THE DODGE FORUMS I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE VERY SAME ISSUE. THEY HAVE ALL CALLED DODGE AS I HAVE AS WELL AND THE ANSWER WAS THE VERY SAME. CAN'T HELP YOU SORRY FOR YOUR LUCK! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THESE CHARGERS AS IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD WITH THIS MODEL CAR. I AM FURIOUS THAT THEY WILL NOT HELP AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE VEHICLE OR RECOMMEND ONE EVER.
