My 2007 charger is stuck in park, after researching and contacting Dodge they said its a known issue but unfortunately my model/VIN is not covered warranty is only for certain models. What??? The dealer wants to charge me $350-$500 to fix, does anyone know where i can find the part I need or how to get it repaired for a cheap price?:info-smilie:

Some folks repair it with a cotter pin by drilling out the spot of the break and inserting a cotter pin to hold the spring. Check out post 19 in the thread below when you search for it. There is a youtube video also I think.

My pink thingy finally broke...

Great thanks so much for all the replies, this was the case also found a few good youtube videos that shows how to fix, ordered an aftermarket part for about $20 from Amazon is manufactured by Dorman part# 924-706 its made from an alloy so its more durable, I will install it when it arrives next week.

I have the same problem, i went to dodge and they said my shift interlock cable went, $78 part, so it wasnt that bad of a deal, i just shimmied the interlock cable to the drivers side and it came unstuck. until tomorrow when i take my charger into dodge, ive just parked in neutral with the footbrake.:bigthumb:

No, tell them to look up Customer Satisfaction Service letter code K39
