Every since had car ticks.Was driving after fill up and car just turned off having me almost hit 8 cars on the highway with my 5 year old son in car. Now will not start. Days later it starts and tick then turns off. Found out it’s common problem everybody has in these 5.7 hemi engines lifters/ cam.

MY VEHICLE BEGINS TO STALL OUT AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHILE IDLING. WHILE SLOWING DOWN FOR A LIGHT OR JUST WAITING FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TO CHANGE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AT GWINNETTE CHRYSLER STONE MOUNTAIN GEORGIA AND THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE THE FUEL TANK NEEDING REPLACEMENT AFTER PAYING 3000.00 DOLLARS FOR REPAIRS THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I WAS THEN GIVEN A FINAL DIAGNOSIS THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS THE ISSUE AND IT WAS GOING TO COST 4500.00 TO REPLACE. TODAY IS APRIL 1 AND I JUST PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AFTER IT WAS SITTING IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST 1 MONTH AND STILL THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. PLEASE HELP ME. MY VEHICLE IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH A CAR COVER BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION. [XXX].

TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER FAILED REFERENCE K39

THE CAR WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK. THE BRAKES LIGHTS ARE WORKING AND WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE AND GO TO MOVE THE CAR OUT OF PARK IT JAMS AND WON'T GO INTO REVERSE.

THE SOFTWARE PROGRAMMED INTO THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE CAUSE A MOMENTARY LOCK UP OF THE DRIVE WHEELS IF THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING OVER 40 MPH AND THE OPERATOR SHIFTS FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND BACK TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, HIGHWAY AND WHEN I DO TURNS. ALSO THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ARE INFLATOR

OUR CAR ONLY HAS 32641 MILES ON IT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE GEAR SHIFT PIN OR SPRING FOR OUR MODEL BETWEEN 2007 &2009 WE CAN'T GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK AND SWOPE DODGE WON'T TAKE CARE OF AND NEITHER DODGE CORP OR MOPAR WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT"S PAST WARRANTY. SO IT SITS IN OUR GARAGE WHERE ITS BEEN PARKED FOR A YEAR USELESS ITS OUR VACATION CAR AND I'M NOW ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND CAN'T AFFORD A HUGE REPAIR BILL .

CAR WAS PARKED. FLOOR SHIFTER WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK, IGNITION KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION SWITCH. AC DISTRIBUTION HOUSING BROKEN,VEHICLE WHEELS BENT FROM NORMAL DRIVING. DEALER SAID KEY, IGNITION SWITCH, FLOOR SHIFTER, OTHER ASSOCIATED PARTS NEED REPLACEMENT.. OVER $7000 REPAIR, WHEELS NOT INCLUDED.

VEHICLE SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH IS BROKEN. THE LATCH ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO SHIFT FROM GEAR TO GEAR OR WILL PREVENT THE SHIFTING. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT WAS LEARNED THE PIECE WAS A RECALL PIECE (K39) BUT ACCORDING TO DODGE ONLY ON CERTAIN VEHICLES AND OUR VEHICLE DOES NOT MEET THE STANDARDS REQUIRED FOR RECALL. ALTHOUGH DODGE JUST SIMPLY SHIPS THE SAME ITEM TO VARIOUS LOCATION ACROSS THE WORLD, OUR VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN THE AREA THAT DOES NOT AFFORD RECALL STATUS; EVENTHOUGH IT WAS BUILT WITH THE EXACT SAME FAULTY PART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SHIFT LEVER FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DODGE DEALER WHERE OTHER RECALLS THAT WERE ASSOCIATED WITH VIN WERE ADDRESSED (I.E. DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG) THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO ADDRESS THE INTERLOCK LEVER AS IT WAS NOT IN THEIR SYSTEM AND THEY DIRECTED ME TO CONTACT CHRYSLER TO ADDRESS THE DISCREPANCY. CHRYSLER HAD ISSUED "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39" IN FEBRUARY OF 2011 THAT ADDRESSED THIS TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER. THE NOTIFICATION INDICATES THERE ARE ABOUT 28,800 VEHICLES THAT MAY BE AFFECTED AND PROVIDES INSTRUCTIONS ON GETTING IT REPAIRED IF YOUR VEHICLE BUILD DATE FALLS BETWEEN JUNE 25,2007 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 21,2007 (MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT 3 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS WINDOW) AND BECAUSE OF THIS DOES NOT POPULATE INTO THE DEALERCONNECT GLOBAL RECALL SYSTEM. IT IS MY LOGIC THAT THE DATES ESTABLISHED IN THE NOTIFICATION DO NOT FULLY ENCOMPASS THE ISSUE BEING ADDRESSED, AND BECAUSE OF THESE HARD DATES THAT DICTATE WHETHER YOUR VEHICLE IS AFFECTED (REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE STUCK IN PARK) , I HAVE HAD NO PROGRESS IN DEALING WITH CHRYSLER GROUP 'RECALL' ASSISTANCE CENTER BECAUSE TO THEM, ON PAPER, MY CAR IS "NOT AFFECTED". FOR AMPLIFYING DATA, REFERENCE "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39"

PARKED VEHICLE IN DRIVEWAY @ 1200. TRIED TO MOVE VEHICLE @ 1300. SHIFTER WOULD NOT COME OUT OF "PARK". SIFTER IS LOCKED UP AND VEHICLE IS NOT MOVABLE.
