Consumer Description

VERY MANY 2008 DODGE AVENGERS ARE HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE GEAR SHIFTERS GETTING STUCK IN PARK, INCLUDING MINE. (SEE WEBSITE AT THE LINK PASTED FOR PROOF: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/AVENGER/2008/TRANSMISSION/GEAR_SHIFT_MODULE_LOCK_UP.SHTML) SINCE MY CAR WAS JUST UNDER THE 36,000 MILE CUTOFF FOR THE FACTORY WARRANTY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE DEALERSHIP TO COVER TOWING AND FIXING IT FOR FREE. HOWEVER, THIS APPARENTLY HAPPENS PRETTY OFTEN WITH THESE CARS SO WHAT AM I GOING TO DO THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS AND THE TIME AFTER THAT??? THERE IS A SPRING ATTACHED TO A PINK BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFTER THAT KEEPS POPPING OFF OF EVERYBODY'S CAR. THERE NEEDS TO BE A MAJOR RECALL ON THIS!! *TR
