Own 2 chargers and both of them had the same shifter problem. Unable to shift out of park. Shifters must be replaced. I have been driving for 42 years and never had a shifter problem. Dodge should repair these problems since it is aa common problem to all 2006 chargers. *tr

2006 charger will not shift out of park. Apparent interlock failure, resulting in broken plastic piece. Based on internet search found that chrysler issued a customer satisfaction notification k39, which only covered certain vehicles. It appears to be a very broad defect. *tr

My 2006 dodge charger got stuck in park position. I had to pay almost $500 (not to mention towing expense). Now i'm looking at this site and see many, many other with the same complaint. Why isn't this a recall??? *tr

2006 dodge charger is stuck in park. Pink emergency release described in the manuel does not work to resolve the problem. While researching a possible fix i noticed that this is a common defect even on newer chargers. I believe that paying for a repair that is so common and uncontrollable is senseless.

I have a 2006 dodge r/t daytona charger. It has 48,000 miles on it and has given me very few problems . I tried to put into reverse to back it out of the garage and it would not come out of park. I tried various things as described in the owners manual and by the mechanics at the dealership, but it would not budge. The car had to be towed to the dealership for repairs. (shifter replacement). Everyone i have delt…

No problems up to the point of failure. I have 42,000 miles on dodge charger. When i got in car two days ago, the gear would not come out of park. When i called the dealer, i didn't have to finish describing the problem, she told me that ths gear shifter had seized and what the price was to fix it. It was obviously a common problem. When i googled the problem, there were so many hits, i knew it had to be a recall…

My 2006 dodge charge keeps getting stuck in park and the pink release does not work either, i have to slide a steel wire all the way to the left in order to get it to give. There are a million forums and complaints based off of this exact issue and yet no recall because its not a safety issue? Maybe not but it is obviously defective. My warranty is up and cant afford to fix the issue so i have to do this everytime i…

The problem with my car usually happens when i am entering an express-way for example or passing another car, and consequently having to accelerate rapidly, but then if i take my foot off the gas, say, to slow down or step on the breaks, the car will stall, and this is every time. I am not talking here of a suituation of "red-lining", just every-day normal driving. If i am accelerating, say in the 3000 rpm range,…

Brakes have locked up x3. Vehicle almost skidded into the back of another vehicle @ 40mph. Afraid to drive vehicle. Had it checked out by dealership & repair shop, nothing wrong. Repair shop did note brake squeak and vehicle shaking even at low mph during test drive- he had just put new rotor and brake pads less than 3mnths ago! Vehicle also has a noticeable 'kick' or 'jarring' when driving- even at 5-10mph in…

Please help me prevent accidents and/or fatalities that will result from chrysler's refusal to address a dangerous situation. Recently my 2006 dodge charger began stalling, numerous time, with the steering locking sometimes at a high rate of speed on a busy highway. A potentially disastrous situation for everyone on the road. My car's been towed to the dealer three times and the problem remains a mystery to the…

I have a 2006 charger r/t with approx 80k miles. I went into the dealer for an oil change and they said my transmission was leaking. I asked if it was serious and the advisor told me it happens "all the time" on chargers like mine. What makes it worse is that there is no dipstick to monitor your transmission fluid level. It seems a little odd that a seal would wear out in less than 3 years. Chrysler should recall…

I received a safety recall for my state highway patrol car. When i took it to my local dealer they would not work on it and stated they didn't know anything about it. 2 of my other partners had the same problem with the same dealership. I contacted another dealership 50 miles away and they had the recall fixed the next day. My other 2 partners went to this dealership 50 miles away and had the recall fixed quickly…

I have owned my 2006 dodge charger v6 3.5l ho, for almost 2 years now and in that time the car has had the same problems that the dealers can't fix or even know what to do. I would go to start the car and it would crank up, turn over then cut back off. It would do that about three times before starting after i turn the radio off. It has also had about a 30 second pause when starting the car, in which there would be…

I purchased a 2006 dodge charger brand new in march 2006. Ever since then there has been problems. I have taken the car to the local dodge dealership where the car was purchased. I had been experiencing problems with the brakes not stopping and squeaking and the fact that i could be accelerating up to about 20-30mph and the car would not go any further. The car is showing signs of transmission problems. These…
