Is there anyone out there that has experienced this problem? And if so, what did you do to correct it? I have a 2007 R/T with the 18" rims, loaded, yadda, yadda yadda. It has 18,000 kms, or roughly 11,500 miles. The weather here is just near freezing at night, relatively cool during the day. (Ottawa, Ontario, CAN.) Twice in two days, I go to start my car, apply the brakes and attempt to take the trans out of park. It would not budge at all. The first time, it took about 2 minutes to finally get it into reverse, then last night it took about 20 minutes before it finally came out of park. Is this a known issue? Anyone else in a similar climate area, or not, have this problem? Before I go to the dealer Monday, I'd like to be armed with some known information, so anything you folks know about this, the very much appreciated it is here. I still love my Caliber, but the love affair is wearing a bit thin. Thanks everyone. Roger in Ottawa. |

Replying to: moparfancanada (Nov 11, 2007 6:18 am) that consists of a cable and if it is not adjusted properly it can give the same problem of not coming out of PARK. If you have not spotted it in the owners manual there is also an PARK release bypass button/lever located on the passenger side of the tranny hump,it's that little round pop out button on the side so if your in a hurry you can get it out of PARK.

Replying to: habalanche (Nov 11, 2007 6:39 am) I will be at my Chrysler service counter tomorrow 7a.m. Fortunately, its a 10 minute walk from my house. They'll have to come and get it. Soon after, I will be ordering my Charger R/T which I should have bought in the first place. I should have listened to that little voice in my head that said never to buy the first model year of a new line. Oh well, live and learn. FOR SALE: 2007 Caliber R/T, 18000 kms, loaded.

Here to report that our 07 R/T seems to be as big as a bucket as our SXT. I love the car but both have stalling issues. The 5 speed would just randomly stall in neutral while idling and the R/T automatic is starting to not start up at all at times. Wait 10 mins and then it starts. Our SXT also has some major electrical glitches which would send the dash lights and such into a tizzy for no apparent reason. Wait a bit and it'd resolve itself. Forget about duplicating it for the dealership. We just got rid of that one, the R/T's fate doesn't seem much better now either.

Replying to: caliberchic (Nov 28, 2007 6:31 am) cars with problems. Make sure they check the battery and the fuse assy(TIPM) as there have been reports of battery failure causing wierd electrical faults. The no starting thing I did myself,accidently depressed lock/unlock on key while starting and it refused to turn over-had to take the key out of ignition then lock/unlock rplace and it started. It must have something with key chip recognition! Sorry to hear your ongoing struggle.
