NHTSA Complaint #10354028 — 2008 DODGE AVENGER

I DROVE MY 08 DODGE AVENGER TO A FRIENDS HOUSE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, CAME BACK AN HOUR LATER AND THE CAR STARTED BUT I COULDN'T SHIFT GEARS. IT IS LABOR DAY, SO THE DEALERSHIP ISN'T OPEN AND MY CAR IS STUCK 20 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE. THERE WAS NO WARNING TO THE SHIFTER MALFUNCTION, EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE AND THEN BOOM, CAN'T SHIFT. I SAVED FOR 2 YEARS TO BUY A NEW CAR AND HAVE LOVED THIS CAR FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT, NOW I AM NOT SO SURE BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE, NEVERMIND THE FACT THAT IT IS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY SO IT IS GOING TO COST A PRETTY PENNY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME MALFUNCTION ON THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR OF MY CAR, IT SHOULD REALLY BE RECALLED. *TR
