2007 DODGE Charger

Shifter Stuck in Park, was told it was Not COVERED UNDER RECALL BY MY vin #?

engine sludged up and failed no warning this was happining

vehicle stalled while in gear. Female driver was moving forward in the vehicle veering slight left to merge onto interstate 75 when the vehicles steering wheel locked causing her to almost hit a cement pylon head on. There was air blowing from AC vents but all electrical/engine was off, vehicle was put in park, turned off then restarted without a problem. The vehicle was taken to the dealership an hour away. They kept it for a week, charged us 500 in repairs, the vehicle stalled while in gear two days later when owner was leaving work 30 miles from home. When vehicle was taken back to dealership the dealership claims the 500 dollars in work they did would not have fixed the stalling!!! But that was the complaint/reason it was in the shop..No other reason! The dealership then replaced the main relay fuse worth fifteen dollars. Our other vehicle was in the shop, leaving only the Dodge Charger in our driveway. I had to rush the owner of the vehicle to the hospital for severe dehydration after she blacked out in our home. The Dodge Charger stalled backing out of the driveway en route to a hospital. We took the vehicle to the dealership again. corporate got in contact with the dealership in less then 12hours this time. An ignition wire was replaced. Less then two weeks after , the vehicle stalled while the owner was about to get onto the interstate. We dropped the vehicle off August 29th at Dodge Galeanana of Ft Myers Florida. This vehicle is a safety concern and is not drivable. She was almost rear ended pulling away from a stop sign because the car stalled half in the intersection. We need cash compensation for this vehicle so we can get her a safer vehicle. I have been missing work so she can use my car to keep her higher paying job…while I’m looking at losing my job because of my availability. We have been without the Dodge charger for well over 60days accumulative due to the vehicle stalling while in gear and the dealership not being able to replicate the “problem”.
The vehicle has stalled while under 15mph each incident. It has stalled; while reversing, while accelerating forward, while merging twice. When it happens there is no indication or sound. Everything just cuts out but the air conditioner, the you turn the air off and hear the engine isnt running and that’s why you cant accelerate. We have been able to put the car in park each time, turn the key to off, Then restart the vehicle with no problems. the stalling happens in one week intervals or longer.

enine noise knocking dealer in which the car purchased could not identify so was taken to another where they talked with tech at dodge and replaced engine with short block about 2000 miles noise comes back so carryed back to dealer purchased from and they kept for a few weeks to tellus it was the rocker arms and then they test drove noise still there they told us couldn’t fix and didn’t know what the problem was or where its coming from.we are dealing with dodge and a 3rd party to take car back and furnish us with the option to get another vehicle msrp for msrp but the person handling this 3rd party person keeps draging process out, we’ve done all they’ve request and still no satification after about 2 months,they are concerned about charging us mileage and the motor has been a problem since we had it, it was purchased in jan 07

the engine 2.7 the oil sludge up and caused the engine to lock up and kept the oil change from the dealership. now it has to have a new engine in it and we still owe $8000.. on the car yet. I just got the car in aug.2009 If you can help us pay for this please do. the 2.7 engine bloc is trash the push rods when through the block un happy about all of this

Tech went to go pull part from parts department and was told vehicles part was discontinued.

When driving around town, come to stop and car begins to stall out.

This is an ongoing problem that began sometime after the airbag recall replacement and continues to happen. car can be in motion driving down the road or stationary in park or with foot on the brake. for some unknown reason i will hear a ding ding ding, simultaneously all lights will start blinking and the gauges go hay wire dropping and jumping. all alerts will be flashing (including but not limited to gas, transmission, brake etc.). since a picture cannot exemplify what is happening, a video of a similar (if not the same) problem can be found here: https://youtu.be/qdz-uczi2de this is not a video of my car but it is similar to what is happening in my car.

My vehicle begins to stall out at low speeds or while idling. while slowing down for a light or just waiting for the traffic light to change. i brought the vehicle to the chrysler dealership at gwinnette chrysler stone mountain georgia and the problem was diagnosed to be the fuel tank needing replacement after paying 3000.00 dollars for repairs that did not resolve the issue. i was then given a final diagnosis that the fuel tank was the issue and it was going to cost 4500.00 to replace. today is april 1 and i just picked up my vehicle after it was sitting in the dealership for almost 1 month and still the problem has not been resolved. please help me. my vehicle is sitting in my driveway with a car cover because i am afraid to drive it in this condition. lascelle a. soares 919 natchez valley trace grayson georgia 30017 718 644 6371.

I was in a crash that was worse then it could have been if the air bag had deployed the way it should have i was slammed in to the steering wheel so hard it whipped me back and forth twice after i looked down my air bag ripped out the wheel and not came out a little it never deployed the way the air bag should my passenger also was slammed hard in to the dash board and then her air bag shot her off the dash but didn't deploy proper. air bags are meant to save lives and my air bag almost took my life the pain is in real i couldn't wish this on anyone and now i have to live my life in so much pain i have a nearly broken neck with almost. every disk bulging in my neck and possibly brain damage and i also have lost my job and my home now i can't get help and the pain is so not fair i suffer ptsd now and brain injury i'm so lost right now have spin damage possible nerve damage and joint damage along with suvier head concision post concision syndrome an memory loss also i now have mood swings i can't control this is worse then dieing i'm hurt so bad due to negligent ppl

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge charger. while the vehicle was stationary, the cooling fan fractured and entered the radiator, which also fractured. the vehicle was taken to be repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failures. the failure mileage was approximately 1,500.

Problem #1: one of the cooling fan blades sheered off and & flew into the radiator. i was at a complete stop and broke off when i started to accelerate. i replaced the broken blade (didn't have enough money to replace both) and radiator. about a year or less later the other fan blade sheered off (the one i didn't replace) and went into the radiator. this time also during accelerating after a complete stop. deja vu. this time i had to replace the entire fan assembly (because the blades were on backorder) and radiator. when i went to the dodge dealership they said there was a recall on the same blades but only the 2006 model. problem #2: it is now loosing propulsion. the power stays on it just stops moving forward. i can put it in park & then back in gear and it moves, but barely. it isn't consistent but it is terrifying. i have googled possible issues and it seems like a lot of people are having the same problem and they have linked it to a bad pcm. i took it to a mechanic but of course it didn't do it while he had it. i have been told, by dodge, that they are the only ones that can do a full diagnostic, that other devices only cover about 30% of the program. that alone seems unfair if not illegal. i cannot afford $110 just to find out what's wrong. my trunk light doesn't work either & even dodge can't find out why. it's not the bulb, it's not the fuse, and the electrical connection is good. according to them. i have more images and receipts but can't figure out how to attach them.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge charger. the contact stated that the engine fan failed. while driving approximately 40 mph, the engine emitted a loud noise and the vehicle abruptly stalled. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic (chick’s auto repair, 540-347-3992, warrenton, va) who diagnosed that the engine fan failed, which caused the radiator to fail. the manufacturer advised the contact to tow the vehicle to have a diagnostic test performed. the vehicle was towed to the dealer (chrysler dodge jeep, 540-905-7223, warrenton, va) for a second diagnostic test, which confirmed that the engine fan blade fractured and caused the radiator to fail. the manufacturer informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in the engine blade replacement warranty. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 52,000.

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2007 dodge charger. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v352000 (air bags). the parts to do the repair were unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the contact called a local dealer (brewbaker dodge chrysler jeep ram of montgomery located at 300 eastern blvd, montgomery, al 36109, (334) 279-0174). the parts were not available and the contact was placed on a waiting list. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

The car shakes and shimmies. it has been doing it for a few years and keeps getting worse. the higher the speed the more it shakes. it shakes right up the steering column into the steering wheel. i fear the shaking will result in other parts failing which could lead to an accident. car is very scary to drive. if a steering rod fails because of this it could be catastrophic.

Vehicle would not shift out of park. car was taken to dodge dealer where other recalls that were associated with vin were addressed (i.e. driver and passenger airbag) the dealer was not able to address the interlock lever as it was not in their system and they directed me to contact chrysler to address the discrepancy. chrysler had issued "customer satisfaction notification k39" in february of 2011 that addressed this transmission shifter interlock lever. the notification indicates there are about 28,800 vehicles that may be affected and provides instructions on getting it repaired if your vehicle build date falls between june 25,2007 through september 21,2007 (my vehicle was built 3 months prior to this window) and because of this does not populate into the dealerconnect global recall system. it is my logic that the dates established in the notification do not fully encompass the issue being addressed, and because of these hard dates that dictate whether your vehicle is affected (regardless of whether or not you are stuck in park) , i have had no progress in dealing with chrysler group 'recall' assistance center because to them, on paper, my car is "not affected". for amplifying data, reference "customer satisfaction notification k39"

My vehicle was released to me from carstar of macon with a knowingly inoperable tpms on all four of my tires. i was not told this before i paid and drove away. i got 5 minutes down the road and felt violent shaving in the steering wheel. i turned around and drove the vehicle back to carstar and waited about 20 minutes for them to tell me that they were aware that the tpms was inoperable. that they were aware that all four sensors were not working properly and that one had actually fallen out into the tire itself and was bouncing around in the wheel well knocking off the alignment of the vehicle. they gave me an option of fixing it or removing the sensors. i was told that they would try to contact my insurence company to see if they would pay for the damaged parts that were operating normally before they switched out the new tire wheels. again they release the vehicle to me with an inoperable tpms system and advise me to drive over 60 mph.

Vehicle shift interlock latch is broken. the latch allows the vehicle to shift from gear to gear or will prevent the shifting. after researching the issue, it was learned the piece was a recall piece (k39) but according to dodge only on certain vehicles and our vehicle does not meet the standards required for recall. although dodge just simply ships the same item to various location across the world, our vehicle was built in the area that does not afford recall status; eventhough it was built with the exact same faulty part.

Takata recall - this is a police fleet vehicle and has been out of service since november of 2016 based solely on this recall. i have tried dealing with fca fleet management with no success. the local dealer says they have the driver's side airbag but not the pass. side airbag. this has been an issue as we have been down a vehicle for almost a year at this point with no remedy in sight

Was going to town and as soon as i stopped at the store i seen steam coming from under my hood and popped the hood and had water spraying out of my radiator by the fan got to looking at it good and all the fan blades was broke off and one of then went into the radiator. took it to the dodge dealership in town and they told me the recall l08 was only for the v6 motors and i had to fix it myself.

Takata recall. this vehicle is used by my son who car pools to school. the distance is approx 35 - 45 minute commute each way. while i have been notified of the recall , i don't think the solution is satisfactory. since this vehicle has a passenger most every day i think dodge should provide a loaner/rental until the problem is fixed. lives are at stake!

I was driving when i heard a loud noise. i then went to a repair shop, i was told that one of the blades on the fan had broke and put a hole in my radiator. i contacted dodge and the lady i spoke with did know about the problem but she stated that my car was made in a different factory so i was not part of the recall. which i think is unfair since i had the same problem like everyone else

Takata recall - i contacted chrysler in june 2016 concerning the passenger air bag recall. i already waited a long time for the driver air bag to be fixed. i still have not heard back from chrysler/dodge. the current recall status says:recall incomplete. remedy not yet available. this has been going on forever. do they intend to fix it; or just wait for my 2007 car to die. bob

I purchased this car 2 years ago with the title, just having it at my parents house because i have another car. i drove it back to memphis on the highway and it jerked, cut the car off turn it back on it drives no more than 30 mph. got a reading at 2 different auto zones, and got a tune up, oil change, and wire coils that go with the car. still the same problem. so i drive the car back to my parents house a hour away from memphis and it’s going slow, so of course law enforcement had some questions that almost allowed me to get the car towed at the times with the coronavirus going on as well.. so, after i get my slow car out the impound, i looked on cars.com and i see a previous recall on my car that i didn’t see at the time or purchase or had any idea of, that might be a little to late to fix even though these the exact same problems i’m having at this present moment. my car jerks back when trying to put it in the reverse or drive. so, i go back to autozone, in the little town because now i’m afraid to move my car because of the danger it’s in. autozobe don’t want to do the reading so i do it myself because they’re not allowed to get into people cars at this time. so, keep in mind i’ve got the work done to the car and i’m coming back to confirm that i did do those things. the man who worked at autozone told me it was something with my wiring, and to take it back to the dealership because they cannot find the part needed in the store i seen it with my own eyes the screen turn blank. took it to dodge, they just replace the air bags, and of course offer to make me spend money. i told them about the previous recall on my car and no one helped even though there is a maximum 10 years. but if these cars are still selling and being used there shouldn’t be any time frame for the problem to be fixed because the car is now unsafe and unusable, and the owner out of money.

Driving on city street speed limit 40mph car began overheating. in attempt to fix the overheating issue a new water pump and 2 new radiators have been installed. the initial radiator literally had the entire bottom fall out. the cooling fans will not come on and are damaged. it is my belief that the damage to the cooling fans is what caused damage to the radiator. i have been dealing with this issue for 3 years now driving another car if traveling more than 1 mile from my home. obviously this is a problem caused by the manufacturerl

I purchased a set of nexen roadian hp 102v tires in july 2015, size 265/35/22. i recently went to get my vehicle serviced when i was told that i needed new tires and was asked to come take a look. all 4 of my tires had cracked around the shoulder of the tires, and the cracking was on the opposite side of the tire that i have no vision of. this is a serious matter that i wouldn't have never known if i hadn't taken my vehicle in to be serviced. i have only put a little over 20,000 miles on these tires and the treading is great which doesn't show any signs of neglect. the place i purchased the tires from agreed that the tires are in great condition, & the tires had the correct pressure in the etc. they also said that i'm not the first person that has come in with the same issue with nexen roadian hp tires. they sent all of the paperwork in to the manufacturer and they are the worst. bernardo was very rude and trying to put blame on the customer (me) when he was clearly told by the place i purchased the tires from which are the same one's that took pictures of the tires and did the inspection that they see absolutely no fault of mine and that the tires are just defective. so then i asked for the dot numbers, and what do we discover??? the manufacturing date was stamped 4715, how could this be if i purchased the tires in july 2015? there is something shady going on and nexen needs to be investigated, my car has been at mccarthy tire for 2 weeks and now that the dot issue has been discovered no one has an answer to why it's stamped for the 47th week of 2015, it's only 52 weeks in a year which means i would've had to by those tires in november 2015. the reviews i'm reading on nexen tires are exactly the same issue that i'm having, what is it going to take before a recall is done on nexen tires?

I was sitting at a stop light and heard a pop. the cooling fan blade on the passenger side of the car had broken and made a hole in my radiator. i immediately took the car to a mechanic and they replaced the fan blade and the radiator. three weeks later the exact same thing happened to the fan blade on the driver side of the car, once again making a hole in my new radiator. i feel that this is a huge design flaw and, apparently, a huge problem with 2006-2008 chargers. i'm so glad i was in town on small local streets both times when this happened. it would have been terrible if it had happened on the freeway. i checked with the dealer to see if there is any kind of recall for this part and there isn't. i have the 5.7l v6 hemi charger and it has a little over 100,000 miles.

My radiator fan motor assembly locked up and a blade came off. the blade went into the radiator. it damanged the radiator and left me stranded. had no prier noises or prolems. took it to the shop. cost me $677.27 to replace the radiator, the hoese, antifreeze, hose clamps and radiator fan motor assemly. the guy that fixed mine said he see this every week in chargers. infact our whole police department switched from charges for this reason. i called the dealership and the dodge # and they said there is nothing to do to help out because of age and mileage of care. wasn't happy because online there are plenty of discussions about the same issue.my dealership doesn't fix them unless they are underwarranty. they send them out to the same guy i went to if they are out of warranty. i guess not to show on their books the problem.

As i'm driving down the freeway in the fast lane the vehicle stalls. i'm able to maneuver across all three lanes of traffic to get on the shoulder and call aaa roadside. when the tow truck gets to my location he puts 2 gallons of gas in my tank and the vehicle starts right up. meanwhile the gas gauge is showing a quarter tank. after looking up if this has happened to anyone else i came across numerous online posts stating that the same thing has happened to them as well. this is a huge safety concern as it can result in a very bad accident from losing power steering and power brakes as a result of the engine stalling out from fuel starvation and the gas gauge showing a quarter tank.

My 2007 dodge charger with 98,000 miles just threw a cooling fan blade through the radiator while the vehicle was in motion, leaving me on the side of a busy highway. i know this is a re-occurring issue because i am on the city council for a small suburb of houston and we had several police cars do the same thing. since this is a known defect that could leave the driver broken down in a dangerous situation (inclement weather, late at night, bad part of town), i believe it should be recalled. the repair costs a little under $1,000 to replace the radiator and cooling assembly.

I've had many issues wrong with my car. the first complaint i would like to express is how the car shuts off on me without warning. while driving on the freeway and on busy streets, my car will shut off, but it will start right back up. this is a dangerous hazard and safety concern. i've taken my car to the gresham dodge (on ne burnside) dealership to address this issue (503-666-2277). i was told "if it happens again, bring it back" there was no concern with dodge that they were sending a dangerous vehicle back out on the road, that could potentially cause an accident. this was an issue that needed to be addressed now, not later. dodge never solved that issue. furthermore, my car was stuck in the park position on the eve of 4-18-16. i tried to get it into gear, without any success. i had to call for a tow truck. while waiting for a tow, i decided to google dodge chargers stuck in park. on youtube, there were so many others with the same issue. they had video of how to get the car out of park. you had to pry the covering off of the shifting unit. stick a pen inside to move a wire around, in order to get the car into gear. it worries me that dodge is aware of transmission issues and other issues with their vehicles, yet nothing is being done to fix it. i could of seriously been hurt or seriously hurt someone else while being on the freeway and my car just shutting off. they should be concerned enough to want to look into this issue and fix it. as i stated before, there are numerous videos on youtube with other people experiencing the very same issues. i did file a complaint on the bbb website, along with everyone else. my main objective for this site is to bring out how dangerous it is to operate my car under these conditions, that dodge did not seem to care about. sounds as if there are transmission and or engine issues with the car that needs immediate attention.

Driving a 2007 dodge charger with about 21k miles. yesterday, while driving in town, i took a right turn and while navigating the turn with the signal on, i heard a loud plastic-on-plastic popping and creaking noise. when the turn signal went off, there was a loud pop and the left signal turned on!! now, when i turn right i hear clicking from the wheel/column and when the signal cancels it does it so hard that it activates the turn signal of the opposite direction. i’m sure the other drivers on the road believe i’m confused which way i’m going – i’m so glad it didn’t cause an accident! so the turn signal in the steering wheel makes a plastic 'popping' noise, and is making it difficult to steer on a turn. the dealer said it's the clockspring. numerous posts on forums mention the same issue. there's been a recall on chrysler/dodge minivans in the early 2000's for the same issue (clockspring).... but not one for this vehicle! a problem like this appears to be a 'cheap' plastic part failing - i have 21k miles on this car (but obviously past the 3-yr warranty)... parts should *not* fail at 21k miles!

There's a problem with the head gaskets on the 2.7 v6 engines. my charger is boiling coolant in the reservoir coolant tank and when you run the rpm's up to 3x, coolant spray out the coolant cap. i replaced the thermostat, the coolant top itself, i did a radiator flush and also changed spark plugs and at this point i don't know what else to do. my car has 15400 miles on it and it happens day after day but now it seems as if the issue has gotten worse. i was told that all or most the 2.7 engines has had this issue and had to replace the whole engine. after explaining to dodge chrysler jeep what my vehicle was doing i paid $125 for a diagnostic test and they said that it failed the block test and it's recommended to tear down the top cylinder heads to check for warped gaskets. please get back to me with any resolutions.

When trying to leave the parking lot of a grocery store, my vehicle would not shift out of park. never having a shifting issue before, i was in a panic as to what to do, since i had my children with me and felt stranded. after paying to have my vehicle towed to a service center, i found out about the k39 recall from chrysler, which was exactly what was wrong with my vehicle. however, since my vehicle was manufactured 6 weeks before the start date for the 2007 models, i'm not included in this recall. it clearly doesn't matter that hundreds of customers are having the same issue as me, but are still having to pay $400+ to fix something that should be covered. after spending 30 minutes listening to a rep at the chrysler recall center tell me how often he's heard of this complaint, just to tell me that i'm s.o.l. is beyond frustrating! this experience has turned me off from buying another chrysler product ever again!

Ive had issues that i am reporting to thus site. dealership said my vin didn't match. my esp, abs, and bas lights have been on for 2 years. i went to dealership to inquire on ecu flash with new software by recall, but the dealership said only police package vehicles were included in that recall. ive researched countless hours to find very many people who have this same problem. now i am needing to bring my car in for the airbag recall. from what it states on this website, my recall was ordered back in may, 2015. from the information that i read, there was supposed to be a 60 day time span within which the dealership was supposed to fix my airbag issue, and the fact that my vehicle vin number falls under this recall order, i believe that i was previously misled by chrysler dodge jeep about the issues pertaining to my abs, bas, and esp issues which regard a wheel speed sensor, from my understanding, that causes me to lose traction, trouble braking in moist to wet weather, and my cruise control option has not worked since the abs, bas, and esp lights first came on 2 years ago, when my wheels lost traction while pulling into a gravel driveway at about 5 miles an hour.i drove off road accidentally twice in the passed year: the first time was caused by a lack of abs and a braking assistance system which caused only minor damage to front bumper. the second time was due to loss of tire traction while pulling away from a stop sign while it was raining, causing me to spin out into a 180 degrees turn to which my tires caught traction and i acceled through a white picket fence on the corner of the street while my foot firmly jammed on the brake pedal to try and prevent personal or external damage. still damaging passenger fender and front grille. i'm close to request of a depreciated financial reimbursement on vehiclal. my safety, security, and trust has become compromised.

Vehicle will not shift into gear and is stuck in park. this happened as i was preparing for family to come over labor day weekend. i've determined this is due to a broken shift interlock latch which is a common problem and a recall has been issued for. i contacted dodge/chrysler and was told that my 2007 dodge charger is not included in the recall though the issue is exactly the same and they informed me that it would need to be repaired at my cost and then if my vehicle is later included in a recall, i would be reimbursed. i've read of many dodge owners experiencing this same issue where they have the exact issue but are excluded within the recall years. this needs to be corrected as their understanding of the scope is not capturing the complete spectrum. how do we get included into the recall? if dodge/chrysler will not stand behind their products, especially for a simple plastic part that breaks, then i certainly don't foresee myself ever buying another dodge/chrysler. very disappointing and frustrating to say the least. thank goodness there is a temporary work around in order to still be able to drive the vehicle. lease help!

While my car was idling the electric cooling fan came apart and the fan blades impaled into my radiator. luckily it happened right after i cranked the car and before i got on the interstate. i learned that chrysler is aware of this problem and will pay for some cars to be repaired. this is in customer satisfaction notice l-08 from chrysler. i was told my car fit the criteria of this notice, year, make, model, etc. except the notice says "severe duty" fan module and according to the man on the phone my car has a "heavy duty" module. my car did exactly what the other cars that were covered did. so basically chrysler is saying it is acceptable for my fan to come apart and sling pieces into my radiator and no telling what else because my hemi 5.7 has a heavy duty piece on the fan but it is not acceptable for the severe duty piece on the same car to do it. this could have been a dangerous situation if it had happened at 70 mph and for the notice to have been written in the first place someone was aware of that. this notice or recall may need to be expanded before someone gets hurt. *tr

This vehicle while driving 40 mph down the road suddenly had the battery light come on then the transmission light then all the warning gauges came on and started blinking as this was happening the vehicles engine was accelerating and decelerating, and the vehicle would not go past first gear road the shoulder until i could get safely off the road. shut vehicle off it seemed to correct the problem. went to have battery and alternator checked both were fine. since then every few days the battery light will come on and then go off after vehicle is restarted. today 2/11/2015 the battery light came on again and the vehicle started to buck around 40 mph then stop if i accelerated or decelerated. and at one point when idling at a red light it stalled and then started back up. i have heard a lot of similar issues with this problem with this vehicle. we as the consumers should not to be made to shell out thousands of dollars for things that the manufacturer should stand behind. we pay enough for the car to begin with we shouldn't have to pay more for something that is obviously not isolated to one or two incidents. some of the parts that are rumored to be the problem are fcm, tcm, and ecm. all are supposedly fixed with a computer update. well then so be it don't charge us the consumer. *tr

We have experienced a shudder while stopped for lights on and off for years, since the car was new in 07. the dealer could not find anything wrong (no codes) and could not duplicate the complaint. then in 2013 it began stalling at lights after the shudder and sometimes without the shudder. again leaving no codes. i'm a ase certified master tech of forty years. a torque converter lockup could cause it to shudder and stall, but should leave a code. but a defective crank position or cam position sensor could shut igntion off without leaving a code. therefore, for a total of $32.50 i changed both sensors. it fixed both issues for 7 or 8 months. suddenly, today 12/30/14 it's doing both again! there's to many complaints about this to ignore the safety issues of stalling in traffic while standing still driving 60 mph.help fix this problem before someone is killed!!!!!! thanks. *js

Notification code k39 the transmission gear shift lever interlock return spring hook broke. the broken interlock return spring hook was the result of the inability to move the gear shift lever out of the park position. i called the dodge dealership and they would not repair it as per notification code k39 recall. i have my repair receipts from midas auto service experts. *js

I own a 2007 dodge charger v6 engine on nov the 14th i was driving 40 miles per hour oil light suddenly came on started flashing really fast and making a dinging noise, all of a sudden there was a loud fast ticking under hood then the car shuts off luckily i was close to the dodge dealership i was able to coast into the parking lot i cut the car off and tried to crank it back up it would not start but all my lights came on as if it was going to crank the technician came and checked my oil it was full and clear because i make sure i keep my routine maintenance done on my vehicles, they told me that they needed to keep my car to figure out what was wrong with it i said ok that's fine, on nov 17th 2014 i called to see if they had found out what was wrong they told me that my motor had locked up how is that possible when i keep everything checked and up to date and fluid levels checked i also get the 16 point multi check done every time i go in there it gets put on the machine to check to see if there are any issues with my car, in other words i need a new motor i always do preventive maintenance on my charger this should not have happened at all. i also needed to replace my gear shift it got stuck in park and i had to have it towed and i had to pay to get the gear shift replaced, as well as getting the relay switch replaced as well. needless to say i am still without transportation. *tr

I was tboned from another driver running a stop sign speeding on his way to work. no air bag deployed and from end and side damage was really bad. i sustained knee injury and hit head and passenger had whiplash and back injuries. *tr

This incident has happened twice now. one, i was stopped at a stop light and the car just shut off, engine, all power etc. second time was going 25 miles per hour and the same thing happened..car just shut off...no power steering, no brakes...and was in a neighborhood with lots s of kids out and about. dealer say no computer codes no issues. this is not a safe vehicle. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge charger. the contact stated that the gear lever would not shift out of the park position until the gear lever housing was dismantled to adjust the necessary cable for the lever to operate properly. the failure occurred continuously. the vin was excluded from nhtsa campaign number: 08v583000 (power train). the vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. the approximate failure mileage was 79,082.

On several occasions, my car would completely turn off when turning right. i have had this problem since i purchased the car. each time, i have taken it back to the dealership and they have found nothing. on 10/3/2014 approximately 6:10 p.m., i turned right and the car completely shut off. the vehicle is currently at the dodge dealership in fayetteville, nc undergoing some tests. i feel the car is unsafe and am asking them to check the ignition for defects. i have read that there were other dodge vehicles that lost power and have researched them to take to the dealership to inspect. if i were to trade this vehicle in for another car, i am afraid the next purchaser's life could be in danger. once it stops, it takes strong arms to control it while pulling over. i need assistance in getting to the problem. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge charger. after refueling the vehicle and driving approximately 25 mph, the instrument panel gauges malfunctioned and stopped operating. the pcm, tcm, bcm, and abs sensors illuminated. in addition, the vehicle suddenly began to accelerate and then slow down repeatedly as the driver released the accelerator pedal. the dealer stated that the pcm, tcm, and bcm needed to be updated. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was unavailable.

While traveling at 40+ mph i attempted to accelerate by pressing the accelerator pedal all the way, the dodge charger did not react and kept accelerating at the normal rate before i pressed the accelerator. since it was not reacting to my input, i took my foot completely off the accelerator but the vehicle kept accelerating at a constant rate. then after two seconds, the vehicle accelerated at full throttle, and continued to speed up at full throttle. brakes were pressed but seemed to have zero effect on the vehicle's uncontrolled acceleration. finally i decided to pull over to shift into neutral and it continue to accelerate. i then shifted into park and pressed the emergency brakes while the engine was still accelerating. first time this has happened and is extremely unsafe, luckily, no car was in front of me and i had time to pull the car over before i came to the upcoming red light/intersection. *tr

The transmission gear shift lever interlock spring hook broke off which resulted in locking of the shift lever in "park" position. the issue is very common for dodge and chrysler models and it is covered by recall k39 for dodge charger models made between 2005 and 2007. the manufacturer denied inclusion of the described condition in the k39 recall stating that my car was made few months beyond the k39 recall dates. from the manufacturer k39 letter( http://www.chrysler.com/webselfservice/pdf/k39.pdf) -to prove our commitment to quality, the company is investing in and prioritizing improvements for every vehicle that we build. as part of that commitment, we are also targeting existing vehicles on the road today and contacting our customers to provide these quality improvements, at no charge, that will help to improve your ownership satisfaction -€“ hogwash.

This is now the third time the vehicle has stalled while in gear. galeana in ft myers has serviced the vehicle after every incident. we have been out of a vehicle for an accumulative of over thirty days, had to pay for rentals, taxes, gas to get to and from the dealer and bogus repair costs. the first service charge was that of 500 hundred dollars, which the vehicle stalled a few days later and the techs said the service they had done would not have fixed the stalling!!???what??. they then replaced the relay fuse worth fifteen dollars the 2nd time it was serviced, the vehicle stalled two days after having it back and we were on our way to the hospital in the vehicle! i need this documented because this time dodge corporate responded in less than twelve hours to galeana to have the car serviced and a main wire replaced and it hasnt stalled since, but now i want reimburse!!!

The pink gearshift latch broke and caused the car to be stuck in park. calling the recall center found out that this part was recalled a certain vins mine not included they refuse to fix on the internet their are 1000s in same situation as me stuck in park because chrysler only chose certain vins with exact same pink part to be replaced!! *js

When in gear and vehicle is moving, reverse and drive, the vehicle will seize, causing loss of steering and speed. while this vehicles vin number is not recognized on the recall list, we have had several recall problems with the vehicle which dodge did except responsibility for by paying the repair cost. i want to document that 3 body shops including a certified dodge dealer cannot diagnose this vehicles seizing problem. this is the fourth time it is going into the shop for seizing while in gear. if someone is injured in this vehicle when it malfunctions i hold dodge jeep and chrysler fully labial for negligence and possible conspiracy of current knowledge of vehicles with faulty equipment and failure to document all such vehicles by leaving their vin numbers off the recall forms. *tr

The 2007 dodge charger seized while in gear; loss of control and speed; locked steering wheel,no acceleration,while moving at 3mph in reverse once and while merging onto i-75 @ ~8mph two other times all within 5 weeks of each other but with no indicator warning dash lights illuminating.neither of the auto mechanics could find a problem.the vehicle hasn't seized up, but the vehicle's check engine light and electronic throttle control indicator warning lights came on last week.the dodge charger manual says if the electronic throttle control light comes on, to discontinue use of the vehicle until an authorized dealer can evaluate the problem.july 7th 2014 the vehicle went to a certified dealer to be diagnosed. they said they couldn't find a reason for the lights being on.sure enough they ran me up a 900 dollar bill consisting of the following repairs:filter tr 21170001/sealer no 01081003/fluid atf 01081018/antifreeze 01081004/connector 09004009. i was told by the service manager these were the repairs needed: water outlet housing/transmission hydraulic service w/ programming/air filter/ fuel system cleaning we picked the vehicle up july 10th 2014 from dealership, drove it directly home.my girlfriend drove the vehicle 30 miles to work july 12th 2014,after an 8 hour shift she started the dodge charger letting it run idle for 5 minutes before exiting the parking lot.the vehicle was brought to a stop before entering the interstate. when she tried to accelerate the vehicle did not move or make a revving sound, the steering wheel was locked tight but hot air was continuing to blow from vents.no indicator lights were present before during or after the event. the vehicle hadn't physically acted up since the first 3 times 7 months ago, so we immediately called the dealer and she drove it directly there. *tr

On june 2, 2014 i was stopped at a stop light waiting to turn when i heard a loud bang followed by what felt like something falling out of my motor. once i turned i turned off onto the service road to check what happened. my car immediately began to over heat and my gage went from in between the cool range to hot range. i did not want to drive my car any further in order to prevent any unnecessary damages. i called my husband who then came to get me and check the problem. he noticed that the fans on the cooling system were not working. one completely locked which caused some of the fans to break and the other just stopped working. i looked on line to see if there were any similar occurrences of this happening. i came upon chrysler customer service notification l08, which implies that this problem has happened on over 55,000 vehicles. i contacted my local dealership and was had them look into it. according to the notification it states that only the severe cooling systems on 2006-2008 dodge chargers are having this occur. my vehicle is a 2007 dodge charger 3.5 l v6 which is not covered under the customer service notification since it only carries the heavy duty cooling system. so my dealership will not cover the cost to fix the same problem occurring on like make and model vehicles. however, during operation my cooling locked and stopped working. i am unsure how many more vehicles have had this occur to them but upon researching it has and continues to occur. *tr

The first incident happened after i was driving on the freeway for about 30 miles i parked the car with the car on so i can have the air on. i had to move my car and the car wouldn't move. the shifter would move but it didn't seem to change into gear. i had it towed to a transmission shop thinking it was a transmission problem. the shop looked it over and found nothing wrong with the transmission they said it was the brakes that were locked up so they unplugged the abs and that seemed to fix the problem.the second incident happened when i was driving home from work and came to a stop at an intersection when i pulled away from the light the car hadn't switched gears and wouldn't accelerate. when i parked the car there was a heavy smell of the brakes burning. *tr

Vehicle shift interlock latch is broken. the latch allows the vehicle to shift from gear to gear or will prevent the shifting. after researching the issue, it was learned the piece was a recall piece but according to dodge only on certain vehicles and our vehicle does not meet the standards required for recall. although dodge just simply ships the same item to various location across the world, our vehicle was built in the area that does not afford recall status; eventhough it was built with the exact same part. i was informed to put in a complaint by the dodge phone representative. i was also told our vehicle has no recall although i found 3 on this site alone. *tr

It is a know problem with chrysler's and dodge's. plastic shift lever release breaks which will not allow the car to come out of park. some cars were recalled others with the exact same part were not. mine was one of the cars not recalled. search the web for "dodge car stuck in park". there are 1000's of comments and posts about this defective part. *tr

Started my 2007 dodge charger, went to put car into reverse and was unable to. car remains in park and unable to move it. apparently there is a recall on 2006-2007 dodge charger, but only selected vin's, mine was built august 24, 2006 so even though i'm having the same issue as the cars built later my car is not covered under the recall. i am upset, and after research apparently i am not the only one that this has happened to. all 2006-2007 dodge chargers should be covered!!!! i am upset!!! i want the recall to be re-opened to cover all the cars regardless of when they were built during 2006-2007. it's apparently the "brake shift interlock". *tr

We own a 2007 dodge charger sxt and while driving down the road our brights will occasionally turn themselves on. when we use our turn signal and have the wipers on it will increase the speed of our wipers, then slow them back down after a few swipes. *tr

I was driving on the freeway going about 65 mph with cruse control when i felt a odd vibration, i noticed the car was off. while i was coasting on to the shoulder, i noticed that the steering and braking were heavy. i pulled to the shoulder, put the car in park and restarted the car. this car is a moving death trap and if not for the light traffic or the side shoulder there could have easily been a crash and or fatality. *tt

The transmission shifter interlock lever was recalled on 2005 - 2007 dodge and chrysler vehicles, however after contacting dodge directly i was told my vehicle was not covered because it was not built during the years of the recall. once the lever is broken, you're unable to put your car into gear. the same issue that was recalled for the other years of these vehicles has happened to my car. and from the research i've done online there are hundreds if not thousands of other complains with the same issue. i contacted 3 different dealerships and it's going to cost approximately $390 to have the plastic lever replaced with the metal lever that's being used now. i feel as though this is a known issue with dodge and chrysler and therefore should be covered by the manufacture. this could be very dangerous as the car will not go into gear if the lever breaks, and can cause a person to be stranded. if i needed to get away from someone in a life or death situation i would not have been able to leave in my car because of this defect. i believe dodge and chrysler should revisit this recall and extend to all cars it affect. my car is a 2007 dodge charger, however it was built in 2006 therefore it does not "qualify" for the recall. *tr

Within a year or so of first purchasing the car (2007) i noticed it would feel like someone hit me from behind as i got off the interstate and was waiting for a light. i have since learned this was the engine "bumping" to keep it from stalling. i would either give it gas or put it in neutral and it would be ok. within the last year the car has actually stalled on me at the lights. i noticed this mostly after driving on the interstate at 70-75 mph for my 20 min drive to work and as i slowing down to get off the exit it seems to "bump" and now "stall". i have had the car stall three times in a row on a single instance recently with the third time it finally caught and did not stall, but i feared it would not start at all. i have had an instance recently of the car stalling while at low speeds (10-20 mph) as i'm slowing down. all other times were at an actual stop. recently the car stalled and it took 2 times to get it to restart and when it restarted it would not immediately go into gear, even though the car was in "drive". my husband was driving for this time and although i am primary driver, he has experienced the "bumps" over the years. in this last instance the car had been on a back road and while still only driving about 20-30 mins the speed was never higher than 45-50 mph. *tr

While driving to work the instrument panel gauges and warning lights began to go haywire. the gauges dropped to 0 and the warning lights and bells began to flicker and ring. the fan/heater began fluctuating up and down as well. early on, this would occur intermittently. now it is more consistent. it is occurring daily-- more so in the early morning hours. it is quite scary because you have no idea what will happen next. i acquired a video of this event. it can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdz-uczi2de. *tr

On 09/23/2013 at about 7am i was driving to work about 20 miles upon arrival the vehicle started smoking from under the hood. i parked and inspected the vehicle and found some water leaking from the radiator, i let the engine cool for about 4 hours and at lunch went out and added water to the vehicle as i added the water it poured directly out. i further inspected the vehicle and found that all seven radiator fan blades had separated from the main housing that was intact and not loose or distorted and impelled themselves through the radiator. i researched this issue and found that dodge had a service bulletin csn-l08 issued in 2011 for the dodge magnum and other vehicles. when i contacted them they advised i was out of warranty and there was nothing they could do. i do not feel this is a warranty issue if it has happened in 2011 and still happening in 2013 and should be investigated further if someone is working on one of these vehicles and the fan blades come apart. this could cause bodily injury with the force it impelled them through the radiator. there should be a recall of this fan part #24040406 manufacture date 1/10/06 and a reimbursement program for those individual's who have had to replace these items. *tr

Alloy wheels ( 17 inch ) with chrome center cap ( ram emblem ) are experiencing pitting and corrosion around center hub. this has eaten away the clear coat on the alloy wheels. although this is not a safety concern at the moment, it reduces the vehicles value ( trade in ). chrysler engineers need to redesign this so that corrosion does not take place. same problem occurred to another owner's vehicle ( dodge intrepid 1993 ). chrysler needs to make it right by refinishing alloy wheels. *tr

Had vehicle six years and had to replace the front ( left and right) tension struts four times. major flaw in vehicle where tension struts fail after a few months and need to be replaced. loud clunking noise is heard every time vehicle encounters a bump or imperfection in the road. sounds like vehicle is falling apart. believe chrysler's engineers should redesign part and have it replaced on vehicles experiencing this problem. *tr

The vehicle will not come out of park. vehicle towed to dealership. tech diagnosed problem as needing to replace the transmission shifter interlock lever. labor, parts, taxes, and misc. charges totaled $498.18 were paid by customer. dealer stated there was no recall for part from chrysler. on charger forums found posts that chrysler had issued a k39 notification letter which could be filled out and sent to chrysler group recall center. customer submitted form. chrysler responded that vehicle was built one month before recall range so it would not be covered. customer does not agree with chrysler's recall range in that it is too limited and needs to be expanded. same part is failing, whether vehicle was built in recall range or a month earlier. it is still a dangerous problem in that the vehicle is inoperable and can leave the driver and family stranded in unfamiliar surroundings and late at night. chrysler should include vehicle in recall and pay for all parts and labor. *tr

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. *tr

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.. *tr

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 national highway traffic safety administration. 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 nhtsa website. there are many, many more on various sites on the web. thank you. *tr

Was driving down road and car started to slow down and became extremely difficult to operate. car slowed pretty much to a stop and i had to use all my strength to get it to turn so i could pull over to a safe place. the car completely shut off and locked up on me. i put the car in park and took the key out, put the key back in to restart the car and it started right back up. i have been researching since this has happened and there are tons of complaints about this exact thing. i have two small children and now i am afraid to drive my car and it is my only vehicle. i just purchased this charger about 3 months ago. this is the first time it's happened . this problem needs to be addressed and it needs to be fixed before people start to die from horrific crashes from no fault of their own! i'm so disappointed about this and would have never bought this car if i would have known i was putting mine, my kids or others life at danger! absolutely ridiculous! *tr

I was on i-495 leaving long island ny , driving around 50-55 mph when my 07 dodge charger 2.7 liter turned off on the extremely busy freeway. im usually in the fastlane , but this particular day i was traveling in the far right lane. so no damage was done. there are no warning indicators or warnings of this problem that occurs , before or after. there has also been numerous times that the vehicle has turned off while attempting to leave on a green light. that has almost caused me many rear end accidents. i have taken my car to many mechanics including the dodge dealership and no one could seem to find the problem. there are many others on the dodge charger forum with the same problem , and feel the same dangers that could be caused if this problem is not fixed or at least identified. if all dodge chargers have this problem , it could cause many defect related accidents. there is no check engine warning and the car runs fine until it unexpectedly shuts off. i have spent over $800 for test and other wishful repairs with still no answer to fix the problem. check the dodge charger forum. i didn't bother to sign up because there was no solution. *tr

This is regarding a 2007 dodge charger srt-8. the vehicle was functioning normally when i was suddenly unable to accelerate in stop and go traffic. the traction control and electronic throttle control (etc) warning lights illuminated and the vehicle began "sputtering" as i tried to accelerate. i exited at the next available off-ramp and came to a stop at which point the engine shut off and i was unable to start it again. i had it towed to the nearest chrysler/dodge dealership/service center and after about a week i was informed that the #2 cylinder had 0 psi compression. they said they had to open the engine to get further information as to why it had no compression. after opening the engine, they found that the valve seat for the #2 cylinder was warn and needs to be replaced. given that this vehicle only has 70k miles on it, i believe this failure is premature. there were absolutely no signs of degradation in vehicle performance leading up to this incident. i use this vehicle to commute to work about 35 miles each way, everyday. i take very good care of the vehicle and service it regularly if not earlier than the recommended mileage/time. *tr

Vehicle has stalled out several times since my purchase. vehicle was bought in 2009 with approximately 13500 miles on it. it stalled the first time about a month later. since then it has stalled approximately ten times. each time it occurs when slowing for a stop, or while actually stopped. the engine will shutter like it is being choked. it will then rev slightly and then cut off. this has occurred in different weather conditions and temperatures. contact with local dealer has not produced any answers. they say the problem has to be replicated however it does not occur with any certain frequency. several other related complaints can be found on the internet with no solution. *tr

About 40k miles into owning the car i was driving on the highway and my car stalled out. once i pulled over i was able to restart the car but with a check engine light now appearing. the car made it the rest of my destination but has not been the same since. that was 5 years ago. the check engine light comes on and off randomly. there appears to be little power left when trying to accelerate. when stepping on the gas the car responds but will idle down and feel close to stalling out even when trying to accelerate. i took to dodge and they replaced a part that cost me $800 to fix (intake manifold tuning valve). of course this did not fix the issue. the check engine light was of for about a month before it came on again. they did not want to help me out. i was told it could be another $1200 in repairs. i did not want to spend this much money as i do not have confidence that they have a resolution. the car has never performed any better. i have put less than 3k miles/year on the car for the previous two years. i have no confidence that my car would have lasted this long if my commute was longer or stop and go traffic was involved. i have to take my wife's much older car when i need to make longer commutes. i am very unsatisfied. *tr

My 2007 dodge charger was rendered inoperable when the engine cooling fan blades separated unexpectedly, causing severe damage to the radiator. this incident ultimately resulted in engine failure. when this incident was reported to the chrysler group, the case manager was informed of a recall that addressed this same issue. please refer to customer satisfaction notification l08 engine cooling fans. this notification cautions owners that the electrically powered radiator cooling fans on about 52,000 of the referenced vehicles (include 2007 dodge charger) may separate during fan operation and cause damage to the radiator. this exact failure occurred to my vehicle costing me in excess of $2000 but the chrysler group refused to offer assistance due to the fact that my vin fell outside of the range to the vins included in the recall and that my vehicle was out of warranty. i request that a the existing recall be expanded to all of the vehicles types listed within the 2006-2008 time frame instead of limiting to the 52,000 estimated in the notification. *tr updated 01/24/13

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

2007 dodge charger was stuck in park. no other problems. found out that chrysler has a defective part in these cars called the transmission shifter interlock lever recalled on some models (notification code k39) . however, the other dodge chargers are not covered under the recall even though it has the same defective part. instead, 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 a widespread, well known, highly documented defected part that the recall only covered on few models not all models. this is a cheap and unethical move on chrysler-dodge's part to have the consumer bear the cost when it is not the consumer's problem. this needs to be recalled across the board on anyand all vehicles equipped with this cheap piece of plastic. instead since my particular 2007 dodge charger is not included in the recall, i am left to pay roughly $500.00 to repair it. really disheartening and pathetic when customers want to buy american but get this as quality! *tr

Reverse went out in transmission. there was no warning of any sort. had no idea that i even had any problems. took vehicle to the dealership to be repaired under warranty. was without my vehicle for almost a month while still having to make payments and find another way of getting around.vehicle was just over a year old. got the vehicle back and the reverse went out in the transmission again as well as the rear main seal leaking. took vehicle back to dealership for more repairs and was without my vehicle again for almost a month. now, the motor is knocking and skipping and vehicle has less than 95,000 miles. these cars are lemons and i don't know how chrysler corporation is getting away with this and i sure do not recommend anyone buying a dodge. wish i had never bought this vehicle and somebody needs to step up to the plate and make it right. sad part is i am stuck with a vehicle that is going to need major engine repairs or engine replace and i still owe on the vehicle and of course there is no warranty left. *tr

My vehicle is stuck in park, turns out that the shift interlock or the "pink thingy" as most people know it as is a defective part on dodge vehicles but there are no known recalls for this problem. the vehicle has 70,000 miles. after i took the cover of the shifter off, i notice that the only way to get it to drive is to push on the pink plastic and it will allow it to go on reverse,neutral,drive. i did some research online and read that alot of people are having this problem but dodge is not fixing the problem. i contacted dodge and was told that they could not help me. *tr

Today the outer tie rod on the drivers wheel side snapped in half. this occurred not after hitting a bump, or a curb, but pulling into a parking space. yes, a right hand turn at less than 5 miles an hour snapped the outer tie rod in two. how fortunate am i that this defective product did not break while i was on the highway? this is an absolute outrage that dodge knowingly places unsafe components on their cars, and refuses to recall them when the parts continue to fail. dodge recalls the tie rods on the dakota, ram, and durango; but after thousands of public complaints that charger tie rods are bad also, they do nothing about it. are they waiting for people to die because of their unsafe products? *js

My vehicles engine light was on while i was taking it to get inspected. aaa ran a test to find out as to why the engine light was on. the diagnostics should a problem with the plenum, air intake valve and the car needed a reflash or update in the cars computer. i took the vehicle down to a dodge dealership and found out that the plenum is a common fail part and is a dealer only part and cost 969.00 to replace. after having the reflash done on my vehicle and finding out about the plenum i returned to aaa to find out if they could fix the problem cheaper. they then checked the recall list to see if their were any recalls. the recalls for my vehicle were for the cars computer system , the interlock mechanism for the clutch, and the radiator fan. after finding out about the reflash being on recall i called the dealership in an attempt to get my money back and was told recalls are vin specific, even though distributed by regular mechanics. after fixing the engine light problem and getting my car inspected, 3 days later the interlock mechanism broke and would not allow me to move the clutch to put car in gear. i took it to the dealership again and paid for a diagnostics and was told the problems i am having are all listed in the recalls but they can not fix due to recalls being vin specific. i paid 478.00 for interlock to be fixed. i have two more items on my vehicle listed for recall and i now keep getting a lightning bolt warning sign on my dash when my vehicle is idle. i have paid for 2 out of 4 recalls that should have been taken care of by the dealership but were nt due to them being vin specific even though everything matches up what's wrong with my vehicle and what is being recalled. *tr

There was no sign that there was any problems with my car. i got in the vehicle, started the ignition, and was not able to shift the gear from park to reverse. i had a local towing company come and pick up the car, and they took it to a local mechanic. the tower said there's been recalls on the column shifter for the dodge chargers. after the mechanic looked at the car, he said that yes it was the column shifter and it would need to be replaced. it will cost $380.35 to have it all replaced. since i didn't do anything to damage the car, and there's a recall on the particular item that is being replaced i don't see why i shouldn't be able to have some form of reimbursement sent to me. *tr

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. *kb

Front outer tie rod ends of 2007 dodge charger 3.5 liter are of a non greasable type. the grease which is utilized at time of installation breaks down prematurely (at around 30,000 miles) and turns to a gritty clay in the ball joint. this premature breakdown of lubrication results in the wearing out and failure of the tie rod end which will result in the loss of control of said vehicle. these are my findings as i did a failure mode evaluation and upgraded the oem component to a greaseable high performance tie rod end. *tr

The shift assembly that allows the car to go from park to drive has broken. called dodge and asked about a recall and they stated one has been issued but not for my car due to the time frame it was built. so no recall for my car. this is a major safety hazards cause it could slip out of gear or the brakes could fell or who knows else will happen. i need this fixed and not to happy with dodge due to they wont issue a recall for my car when i can look on the internet and find other cases just like mine and same year and make and model.

My 2007 dodge charger had a part failure in the shifter mechanism that prevented it from being moved from park. this occurred at 8 pm at night on top of a parking garage when i had my family with me. it took over an hour to locate a towing company that could get to me because of the parking garage. the dealership informed me the problem was a cheap plastic part that had been recalled on the avenger but not the charger and they had been replacing about a dozen per week. dodge should recall this part and repay the owners that have already had to make the repair. *tr

Purchased 07 r/t charger from dealer brand new,,treated like baby, changed oil and had all service completed at dealership. without notice car dies on street as if vehicle ran out of gas. gas light on. put gas in vehicle only to start up making an extremely loud knocking sound. mind you vehicle had been running like a charm. had vehicle towed only to be told #6 cylinder blown,motor gone. what is dodge doing about this. apparently cerritos dodge is currently working on 6 chargers that need entirely new engines. *tr

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

I drove my car to work and parked it. when i went out to my car to go to lunch it would not shift out of park. i had to remove the upholstery around the gear shift selector to get to the plastic piece that was causing the problem. i have to use a screw driver to move the broken piece so that i can shift the car, until i have time to make it to the dealer. i have done some research and found that this is a common problem with the dodge charger. *tr

After dealership changing all 8 coils and cam sensor there is no change in driveability. car still cuts out spontaneously, bucks, and snorts when doing simple (no drama) passes. i heard of these cars with this problem and i have a suspicion that the dealership will not find anything. i surely do not want my wife and kids to be driving on the freeway and have it just turn off on them!!! *tr

I own a 2007 dodge charger. biggest piece of junk ever in my drive way. i was excited when the challenger came out, my daughter would get the charger and momma would get the new challenger. i can say, that wont be happening. in the three years i've had this car, i have had to spend several hundred dollars to have the transmission fixed from leaking fluid. a part i was told that was manufactured incorrectly, but no recall, i had to purchase the fix kit myself. within 6 months from this happening, the instrument cluster went out. loosing all electronics in the car. again, no recall another $600+ out of my pocket. now just this week the "pink thinky" has messed up. this left me stranded in any empty parking lot at work on a friday afternoon and my husband an hour away. thank goodness the mechanic shop i go to could tell me how to override and get me home. of course i called the dodge dealership first, but low and behold the service department could not help me. the answer, "i can send a tow truck. i do know there is an override but i'm not sure how it works." really! three things right there a recall should be issued on! this car should not have the problems it does without someone taking responsibility for correcting it. mitsibishi has dodge beat by along shot! 00 galant, was traded in for the charger with 260k miles on it, never spent 1 dime that was not for routine maintenance, and it still ran, drove and handled like it did the day i bought it. but i just had to have the new dodge charger, big mistake on my part! there will never be another dodge anything in my driveway. i know dodge does not care, i'm just one out of millions but they should! dodge can go bankrupt totally, and never manufacture another thing and my work would keep right on revolving! *tr

07 dodge charger, with automatic transmission, and console shifter. the plastic piece holding the park gear release spring breaks off and the vehicle can then not be shifted into gear. this is an obvious engineering flaw that chrysler and it's dealerships are well aware of, and choose not to address as a warranty or recall issue. the vehicle i am involved with has only 46,000 miles. the problem is widespread enough that the aftermarket parts industry, speciffically dorman , manufactures and sells a metal replacement for this obviously defective and inadequate part. *tr

Engine compartment fire vehicle and engine off

Upon arriving for my scheduled oil change and tire exchange from snows to summer, i was informed that my tie rod ends on both front wheels needed to be replaced as they were not safe to drive on. so i instructed them to go ahead and fix it as i needed to be able to drive the vehicle and safety is the most important issue when you transport your child on a regular basis (as well as myself). i didn't realize at that time this was something that is covered under warranty or i would have gone to a daimlerchrysler/dodge dealer to get it fixed. it is unacceptable for a car with 33,000 miles to need two new tie rods. this was an emergency repair as i had no previous indication that there was a problem at all. leaving without getting the vehicle repaired was not an option as i am not willing to put mine or my daughter¿s safety in jeopardy as she was with me at the time of the appointment. i am aware of the damage to the car that can be caused when a tie rod (or both) fails and didn't think twice about going ahead with the repairs. upon speaking with a representative after the fact to get a reimbursement (following the instructions in the back of the owners manual regarding emergency repairs not done at a dealer), daimlerchrysler stated they would only replace the parts. this is not good enough as i did not have any other option. i do not feel i should have to pay for something, which would have otherwise been fully covered under the warranty by going to a daimlerchrysler dealer, especially being a safety issue. had the tie rods indeed broken while driving the vehicle, not only would it have incurred enormous amounts of damage it would have been extremely unsafe for myself and my 6 year old daughter. research over the internet has since indicated this is a chronic problem with daimlerchrysler vehicles and this is not a repair i should have to pay for. *tr

I had just left my residence to travel to work in my 2007 dodge charger, 2.7l v6, i had made it 6 miles away from my house when my engine blew. the temp gage never showed there was any kind of overheating problem. the check oil light came on for a few seconds and turned off. a few minutes later it came on again and puff of white smoke came out from under the hood and the motor seized. from the research i have done on the internet i have found that the 2.7 liter dodge/chrysler motor has had a lot of problems with oil sludge issues that would cause the engine to seize. so far chrysler has not taken any responsibility for this major problem with the 2.7l engine. the bottom end of the motor has to be rebuilt or replaced to correct this problem. at this point the warranty company is blaming me for the mechanical failure of the oil filter seal on the engine. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 dodge charger. the contact stated that the vehicle would not start. the gaskets were replaced and new tires were installed on may 1, 2009. the alarm indicator was the only gauge he remembered illuminating on the instrument panel. the vehicle has not been taken to the dealer. the current and failure mileages were 34,725.

When i first bought the car in may 2007, my car's engine shut off without warning on the highway. i immediately put the car in neutral and it started up and didn't have the problem again. i did report it to the dealership during my second oil change. they said that since it has not happened again that it shouldn't be anything to worry about. now, at about 95,000 miles its been happening more frequently, about twice a day. no warning lights come on. the engine just shuts off. i took it to the dealership and they ran a diagnostic computer test and nothing came up. we also went for a test drive, but it did not happen when the technician was with me. i feel that i will eventually get into an accident. our family relies on this car and i am worried that something horrible could happen. i have visited different forums and others have had the same problem. i feel that this is a defect due to the fact that others have had the same problem. i have also seen complaints on this site reporting the same problem. i don't have a choice but to use this car, but also feel that it is extremely dangerous. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 dodge charger. while driving between 10-40 mph, the engine shut off without warning. the vehicle has been to the dealer a total of six times for this failure. the dealer replaced all the coils for each cylinder, which temporarily repaired the failure. five months later, the vehicle began to shut off again. the contact took the vehicle back to the dealer and they installed a co-pilot to monitor what happens in the vehicle. the co-pilot registered an issue, but the dealer could not locate the failure with the vehicle. currently, the vehicle is at the dealer for repairs. the contact feels that the vehicle is unsafe to drive because it shut offs without warning, which could cause a crash. the current mileage was 5,600 and failure mileage was 1,000.

Pebbles or debris has entered the lower cooling valance on my 2007 dodge charger is to wide, which allows any and all debris to damage the air conditioner condenser. which dodge does not cover or recognize as a design flaw. the a/c condenser is exposed to any and all objects coming through that particular area. the 3 lbs of freon released to the atmosphere, which when the car is in motion the freon will go through engine compartment and eventually end up in the passenger area. freon is a oxygen displacement type gas which can cause sickness, vomiting,hypoxio and eventually suffocation. this is a possible safety hazard. freon 134a also expels a toxic gas if exposed to temps above 452f which catalytic converters reach temps above 500f. *tr

I purchased my 2007 dodge charger se on feb 17 2009. i had multiple problems when i bought the vehicle including the airbag light being on which they fixed by recalibrating the unit. the left washer fluid module had to be replaced and the passenger headlight had condensation that was poorly repaired by placing silcone around my headlight. the shop also said that they had to recalibrate the transmission because it was slipping and was causing my speedometer to drop to 0 but the rpm would never move and the car would not lose power. on march 7 i drove 90 miles away from home when i exited my vehicle and got about 10 feet away the car exploded in flames. the car drove beautifully the entire trip never hesitated and never overheated, never indicated any kind of problem!!!! the entire front of my car to the dash was completely melted within 5 minutes of the car exploding. luckily i did not have my children with me and i was not in home as i park my new vehicle in the garage, i would have lost everything i own. the fire department had to bust out the rear window to get my purse because the only key hole is in the front door and the fob would not work to unlock the car. this is a huge safety hazard!!! if my 2 small children had been in the car i would have not been able to get them out in time because of how fast the car exploded!!! the fire department determined that it was the electrical system under the hood. the dealership i bought the vehicle from 2 weeks ago told me to go ¿[email protected]#$%myself and deal with my insurance company that it has nothing to do with them. please if you have this car or are considering buying this car please please don't do it!!!! *tr
