description: SHIFTING HAS BECOME A MAJOR ISSUE HAVE TO USE A PEN OR KNIFE TO PUT PRESSURE ON A SWITCH TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. WAS TOLD BY LOCAL DODGE DEALER IT IS A ISSUE WITH THE CHALLENGER BUT NOT THIS MODEL. THEY ARE THE SAME SHIFTER. ALSO THE LIGHT THAT ILLUMINATES THE SHIFTER STARTED TO CATCH FIRE BUT I WAS ABLE REMOVE BEFORE FIRE IGNITED. I SAW THE SMOKE AND SMELLED ELECTRICAL BURNING. LUCKILY THAT STARTED RIGHT BEFORE I WENT TO STRUGGLE AND PUT IN DRIVE. TO EVEN GET IT TO LOSSES UP TO DRIVE YOU ALMOST HAVE TO SLAM THE SHIFTER UP AND DOWN RAPIDLY AND SOMEWHAT ROUGH TO EVEN LOOSEN IT UP TO GIVE A WEEK OR 2 OF IT NOT CAUSING PROBLEMS. WAS TOLD BY LOCAL DEALER NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WOULD BE AROUND 800 TO FIX.
