NHTSA Complaint #10422409 — 2007 DODGE CHARGER

WE OWN A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. CAR WORKED GREAT UNTIL I TRIED TO LEAVE OUT OF MY GARAGE. I TURNED ON THE CAR AND THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE IT TOWED IN. WE HAVE THE EXTENDED 72 MONTH, 75,0000 MILE WARRANTY AND THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME WAS 45,000. AFTER HAVING OUR CAR TOWED, THE DODGE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED THAT THIS PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER OUR WARRANTY AND WOULD COST $323 WITH PARTS & LABOR. ONE PERSON EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. SO I'VE RESEARCHED THIS DEFECT AND HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE....AND I AM SURPRISED THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. WE OWN 2 DODGE VEHICLES AND WERE CONSIDERING GETTING A DURANGO, BUT IF THIS PROBLEM ISN'T RESOLVED OR AT LEAST COVERED BY OUR WARRANTY, WE WILL CONSIDER BUYING ANOTHER MAKE OF CAR. *TR
