I'VE RECENTLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY SHIFTER NOT WANTING TO MOVE OUT OF PARK. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL LISTED FOR MY VIN NUMBER.

I WAS TOLD BY DODGE'S CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT IT WAS A VIN-SPECIFIC RECALL, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH DODGE'S CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY.. I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT NOW REQUIRES ME TO PRESS A HOT PINK LEVER IN THE CONSOLE WHEN THE GEAR SHIFT STICKS, AND NO ONE AT DODGE SEEMS TO BE BOTHERED THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS WHO DIDN'T FALL UNDER THE LIMITED RECALL.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER PROBLEM: I READ THERE WAS A "SILENT" RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ONLY FOR CARS BUILT BETWEEN JUNE AND SEPTEMBER OF 2007. MY CAR WAS BUILT SHORTLY BEFORE THIS PERIOD. MY QUESTION IS: WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL FOR ALL VEHICLES HAVING THIS PROBLEM? A DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME OVER $400 TO REPLACE A SINGLE PINK PLASTIC PART WITH A SMALL, FRAIL HOOK (WHICH IS WHAT BROKE OFF) THAT ATTACHES TO A SMALL SPRING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND A DESIGN FLAW THAT WARRANTS A COMPREHENSIVE RECALL. I CANNOT EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW MUCH THIS HAS UPSET ME AND WOULD REALLY LIKE THE NHTSA TO TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION AND ISSUE A RECALL FOR ALL CARS AFFECTED. THANK YOU. *TR
