Consumer Description

03JUN10 WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE FOR WORK, I COULD NOT GET MY VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. I CALLED A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMED THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS. I CALLED A FEW DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND THEY BOTH STATED IT COULD BE A BRAKE SAFETY SWITCH AND TO TRY A MANUAL OVER RIDE SWITCH NEAR THE GEAR SHIFTER. TRIED THE OVER RIDE WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. CAR IS STILL STUCK IN PARK. DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE, ONE THAT IT SEEMS DODGE IS DOING NOTHING TO CORRECT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART. *TR
