The column shift would not move. The engine started fine, however the car would not come out of park. I noted that there was a recall on the 2006 Dodge Charger for power train automatic transmission:lever and linkage column shift, although I have a 2006 Dodge Charger with the same problems I was informed by Dodge that my vehicle was not a part of the recall. I believe that my vehicle should be included in the recall because it has the same exact problem as described above and my vehicle is the same year, make and model as the recall.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. The contact stated when attempted to shift out of park gear, the gear shifter failed to function. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who performed a diagnostic test which indicated that the failure was located in the transmission gear shift.
