2006
POWER TRAIN
THE CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE, AND WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE GEARSHIFT (LOCATED IN THE CENTER CONSOLE) WAS LOCKED IN PLACE, DESPITE THE VEHICLE STARTING UP AND THE ENGINE RUNNING PROPERLY. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE PINK, PLASTIC "TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK" WAS BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SINCE MY CAR IS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER WITH THE SAME PART THAT WAS RECALLED ON OVER 23,000 CHARGERS, CHRYSLER 300S AND MAGNUMS FROM THE YEARS 2005-2007, AND THAT THIS SPECIFIC PART IS THE ONE THAT FAILED ON THE VEHICLE, I BELIEVE THAT MY CAR AND VIN SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, AND THAT EXPENSES INCURRED FIXING THIS PART SHOULD BE REIMBURSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2008 DODGE CHARGER WITH 24,000 MILES ON IT AND HAVE MY CAR SERVICED AS REQUIRED AND YET THE ENGINE BLEW LASTNIGHT. OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS MY CAR WAS MAKING TICKING NOISES BUT IT WAS NOT CONSTANT,I LET IT GO. THEN 3 DAYS AGO I TOOK MY CAR TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE AND IT WASN'T TIME BUT I WAS WORRIED SO I DID. LASTNIGHT THE CAR ENGINE SOUNDED REALLY BAD LOTS OF CLUNKING SO I PULLED OVER AFRAID OF NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE DODGES LIFETIME DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY SO I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. TODAY THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME THE ENGINE WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE OF SLUDGE BUILDUP. I TOLD THEM I DID ALL THE MAINTENANCE AND HAVE PROOF BUT THEY STILL INSIST IT IS MY FAULT.I AM AT A LOSS NOW OF WHERE TO TURN. $5-$7000.00 WILL GET IT RUNNING AGAIN OUT OF MY POCKET. PLEASE HELP AS I THOUGHT I WAS COVERED AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. *TR
