I was making a left turn into an intersection when I could not excellerate to clear the intersection because I lost power going to my transmission which almost caused me to get hit by another car approaching the intersection...totally lost power to the transmission...could not go forward or backwards was wondering if there is any sort of recall for this, I felt like I could have been killed, the car gave me no warning what so ever, no warning lights ever came on indicating there was a problem...my husband followed me to the dealer later on in the day and I was told it was some sort of valve body problem and it would cost $680.00 to fix it...never been so scared in my life not sure if I chose the right components or not but it felt like the tranny to me...I got three or four blocks from the dealer and then my service engine soon light came on...if this is not something that's on a recall then some one can be killed...I think god was just with me...the dealer also stated alot of them were coming back for some sort of vacum hose problem, well if that many is coming back why they have not had a recall not unless its not being reported...maybe I can help save the next person from a tragedy and people need to be aware.

My car failed to go into gear, which this matter in on recall but I was told by dodge that my VIN was not in system under the recall, putting in the VIN could of been a error to. Human error do happen but the manufacture should stand behind their cars, I had to pay for the repairs in full, I then have to send in my original receipt before chrysler will reimburse me $150 towards the repairs. I was without my car for 8 days.
Inability to move the gear shift lever out of the "park" position issue in my vehicle. This issue was a customer satisfaction notification k 39 by chrysler , but when I sent my vehicle to dealer lenders mclark at dodge in huntsville, alabama - and the service manager (bj) told me the VIN number is not covered and the same happened with chrysler group recall assistance center ( nichol). My car has the same problem as describe in this notification letter k39 but chrysler did not have a good problem solving analysis or traceable that was not include my VIN number.

8/29/11 - 2007 dodge charger r/t - car would not shift out of park - car taken to local dealership, shifter assy broken, needs to be replaced, $450.00.
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.

I put my car in park for the night. I got up the next morning for work but I could not get the car to move out of park. It was completely fine the day before.

When I called about my dodge the VIN doesnt fit into the date range for the vehicles built that were recalled. This is insane...same yr, make, model, problem....but not included in the recall.

I went to drive my 2007 dodge charger and it was stuck in park. No other problems. I investigated and found out that chrysler has a defective part in these cars. They want to charge the consumer to fix the problem although it is well known that it is a manufacturing problem. (its a cheap plastic pink release button that goes out at any given time causing the car to be stuck in park) this is not the consumer's problem this needs to be recalled instead I was told since I was the second owner of the car there is nothing they can really do. It costs roughly $500.00 to be fixed. Really makes a happy customer question the quality of their service.
Vehicle brought home and parked on 7/17 as normal. 7/18 around 4pm attempted to start vehicle and go to local grocery store. Vehicle would not come out of park. Called chrysler at 1‑800‑853‑1403, was referred to local dealership at 1‑800‑992‑1997. Was told to remove the chrome bezel around top of console and remove the package tray on the side and push the square pink tab device inward to release the shift mechanism. Did not work. Then was told of a service campaign on similar vehicles but when I gave them the VIN I was informed mine was not included. Started using google to search for similar incidents and found them to be numerous. Seems we have a factory defect here that is known and for all intents and purposes is a time bomb waiting to nap people at its first opportunity and leave them stranded. My car has 92,000 miles on it and as far as I can tell I am lucky to have made it that far. I will be on the phone with chrysler today.. 7/19, to give them an earful of my dis satisfaction with this whole scene.
