2007 Dodge Charger transmission complaints
Page 4 of 8: complaints 71 to 100 of 220, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have not had my car for a year. My gears are locked on my car. Which is a defeat and a safety issue. I have spoken with 3 people that have an dodge charger as well and all 3 people have had the same problem. This is obvious a defeat which should be a recall. I currently still make payments on my vehicle its not fair to me for this to happen and its not my fault. I have googled this issue/ I have seen the complaints on your website about the same issue I am having.. So many people are complaining about the same problem. This is in deed a defeat in the car. Just for this reason alone I am considering letting chysler come pick the car up and keep it. I pay to much money out monthly to going through defeats on a car when I call about it then am told its no recall on it. Its not fair. I am a paying customer and have not ever been late paying monthly payments. Please consider this problem as a recall.
I was at an open mall and I parked my charger, I noticed I was to close to the car next to me so I decided to move it to another parking spot. When I turned on my car, I was unable to move the shifter, it became stuck. I was unable to move my vehicle. I tried everything thinking, moving the steer wheel, tapped on the brakes etc and the car would not shift. I was in a very bad area of town and was alone. I had to call a tow truck and that was going to take a couple. So I was stuck alone waiting. After reading in many websites. It looks like I have not been the only one with the problem. Seems like thousands of other chryslers owners had issues. When the tow truck finally arrived, he had already helped 4 other people owning a dodge charger with the same problem. And once I was at dodge picking up my vehicle. They too told me that many people had gone in to get the same problem fixed in just a few weeks. I believe with so many people having the same problem, there should be some sort of recall. Luckily no one has gotten hurt that I know of because of this. As a single mom, I really cant afford an expense that should be covered by chrysler. I have always serviced my vehicle and is in pristine condition.. And honestly I love it.. But I don't love paying for something that should be breaking to begin with. Thank you..
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 did research online and found that this is a common problem with the 2007 chargers like mine, and many people have been told that their VIN doesn't fall under the limited recall. 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. There has been at least 261 complaints on the 2007 charger filed with the federal safety agency. Out of those 261 complaints, 143 were about power train issues. And of those 143 power train complaints, 121 were about the transmission gear shifter interlock lever. This is only on the federal safety agency website. There are many, many more on various sites on the web. Thank you.

I tried shift the car into drive but it failed to do so; the car won't shift out of park. The car was not moving at any time of the incident.
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 federal safety agency to take the appropriate action and issue a recall for all cars affected. Thank you.

I was driving home along with my wife from running errands when my vehicle shut down while driving at 45mphs per hour. I called aaa to come and tow my vehicle. They did just that and the service-contracted towing company for aaa dropped my dodge charger rt off to the auto repair shop that I'm accustomed to going. The mechanic told me that the battery was drained heavily from the engine problem. So he took out the old battery I had and put in a new battery. Once he did that he tried to get the dodge charger rt to start but there was no luck. But eventually some electrical power was restored to a level in order for a diagnostic test to be performed. Once this mechanic completed the diagnostic test he told me that the codes he received are identical to the recall problems associated with the 2007 model of the dodge charger rt. He told me that the 2007 model for this vehicle had the most recall problems for the issue that I experienced which were engine problems. He said that the engine problems were the second most recalled issue after the transmission problems for this vehicle. He told me that I needed to investigate about getting a recall complaint made for this vehicle with the manufacturer (dodge), because the engine problem justified the same recall issues that previous owners had with the model and year of this vehicle. Please help me because I was told that the manufacturer warranty expired.
