Interlock brake lever broke. This is the piece that locks your car in park and you have to press brake pedal to release lock before shifting. Car wont come out of park position. I have seen several complaints of this online for dodge and they are only willing to fix certain vin numbers. I would like mine to be considered being as it only had 30k miles when this happened. *tr

I had parked my 2007 dodge charger r/t, and later that night about to leave for work my gear shift was stuck in park. I have tried everything to get it unstuck with no luck. I am very frustrated due to the fact that there was a recall for this issue however my vehicle was not in the time frame for the recall. There have been hundreds of complaints and yet no one has helped us. *tr

The transmission shifter interlock lever broke resulting in the inability to move the gear shift lever out of the "park" position. I see that other cars that are very similar to mine, if not the same car as mine, that have had this problem have had factory recalls on this...... 2005-2007 dodge charger, magnum and chrysler 300 .....but unfortunately mine doesn't and i don't know why. *tr
