The electronic throttle control causes the car to lose power while driving. It makes it impossible to accelerate. It usually happens on a cold start and has happened on occasion after the car has warmed up. The dealer claims that they can't do anything about it unless it happens while at the dealership, because there is no way to read an error code. *tr

Gear shift sticks in park due to cheap plastic part designed to break but with no remedy other than full replacement of shifter. It appears to occur in large numbers if not every dodge charger years 2006-2009. *tr

Shifter stuck in park. After research on internet, found it is a common problem. Why would a major car manufacturer use a cheap easily breakable plastic part in a component that is used so frequently. *tr

Tried looking at the manual to see if it was anything that could be done on my end, but nothing worked. Car is still inoperable and i can not afford to get it towed. It is under three years old. *tr

My car is stuck in park! I have no idea what happened. I drove it today with no problems then all of a sudden i try to leave and it wont allow me to put it in reverse. I have seen a numerous amount of complaints online with people having the same problem so this is something that is common with these cars. "my car hasn't been repaired yet!" i don't think i should have to pay for something that i didn't cause. *tr
