My 2006 dodge charger was stuck in park and would not shift. The dealer is telling me they have had many issues with the shifter and are wanting to charge me $400 to fix it. The employees at the towing company also advised they have seen many problems with it. In researching it, i found it is a flimsy pink piece called the park lock out mechanism, which costs $49.99 to replace. If there have been this many issues,…

The vehicle is a 2006 dodge charger with about 35,000 miles. It was in regular use as a police car. The engine stalls out at random intervals both when the car is parked and when the car is moving.

It has been at the local dodge dealership…

I have a 2006 dodge charger. When i first bought it, i had to take it back to the dealer 13 separate times for issues. They were never resolved fully. The dealer actually broke the window controls on the drivers side in front of me, and tried to tell me it was already like that.... Luckily, he was seen, and was dealt with. The newest issue, which i see via online research a lot of people are having is the shift kit.…

I was driving when my car seemed to stall and start back. The most scariest times are on the freeway. I've been in the fast lane and had it happens car stalls and kicks back on. I've taken my car to dodge dealers and they can't figure it out. I love my car but i'm really getting sick of them not fixing the problem. I'm having the same problem as everyone else so i'm not going to type it up in detail. But there is no…
