Sometimes when stating from a stop, like a stop light or entering on a road, the transmission will make a loud sound in the rear and lock in in one gear. I need to pull of the road and restart the vehicle and start out again. It will go into reverse and park but will not shift properly until I do this. Sometimes I need to restart it more than once to get it to shift, not very good when it does this in traffic. Also the engine light comes on but so far has reset itself after a few cycles

There is a recall for customer satisfaction notification K39 transmission shifter interlock lever for the following vehicle which is the same as mine but the "LX": 2005 - 2007 (LX) Dodge charger, magnum and Chrysler 300. Why does the same problem, with the same automobile, with the same year does not apply to a "sl"? how much do I have to spend to repair a manufacturing malfunction for something that should be a recall. I parked my car and on my way to work I could not move the gear, it stuck to P.
