Inability to move the gear shift lever out of the "park" position issue in my vehicle. This issue was a customer satisfaction notification K 39 by Chrysler, but when I sent my vehicle to dealer lenders mclark at Dodge in huntsville, Alabama - and the service manager (bj) told me the VIN number is not covered and the same happened with Chrysler group recall assistance center ( nichol). My car has the same problem as describe in this notification letter K39 but Chrysler did not have a good problem solving analysis or traceable that was not include my VIN number.

We own a 2007 Dodge Charger. Car worked great until I tried to leave out of my garage. I turned on the car and the gear shift would not move out of park. Contacted the dealership and was advised that we would need to have it towed in. We have the extended 72 month, 75,0000 mile warranty and the mileage at the time was 45,000. After having our car towed, the Dodge technician explained that this part is not covered under our warranty and would cost $323 with parts & labor. One person even acknowledged that this is a common problem. So I've researched this defect and have seen numerous complaints online....and I am surprised there has not been a recall. We own 2 Dodge vehicles and were considering getting a durango, but if this problem isn't resolved or at least covered by our warranty, we will consider buying another make of car.

I put my car in park for the night. I got up the next morning for work but I could not get the car to move out of park. It was completely fine the day before. I looked online and this issue happens to alot of people. My girlfriend has a chrylser that did the exact same thing and had a recal sent out. When I called about my Dodge the VIN doesnt fit into the date range for the vehicles built that were recalled. This is insane...same yr, make, model, problem....but not included in the recall.
