NHTSA Complaint #10368248 — 2007 DODGE CHARGER

WE WENT TO THE MOVIES AND WHEN WE CAME OUT THE CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. NO MATTER WHAT WE DID THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD NOT MOVE. WE HAD TO GET A RIDE HOME. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHARGERS AND TOLD US HOW TO GET INTO THE GEAR SHIFT MECHANISM SO THAT WE COULD GET IT OUT OF PARK. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME IT IS PUT IN PARK WE HAVE TO TAKE IT APART. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS FIXED ON THE CAR WHEN IT IS CONSIDERED A COMMON PROBLEM. DODGE NEEDS TO MAKE THEIR CUSTOMERS HAPPY, WE WILL NOT BE RECOMMENDING THIS VEHICLE UNTIL A RECALL IS MADE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. WE FEEL IT IS POOR SALESMANSHIP TO NOT DISCLOSE THIS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SALE. WE HAVE BEEN DODGE OWNERS FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS BUT THAT IS DUE TO CHANGE WITHOUT FURTHER HELP ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR
