I went to go get in my car to go to work after returning home 3 hours earlier and my park would not shift out of park. My wife and I took apart the console to find out if anything was jammed in it such as lose change but there wasn't. she decided to go online to do some research and discovered that this has happened to a lot of people. I have 88,000 miles on my 2008 Dodge Avenger but I take great care with maintenance. Of course there has not been a recall but I hope they do. The pink button everyone is referring to we have not tried yet...

I have an 08 Avenger, I have had it back to the dealership 4 times over the brakes. My brake light is coming on again and when I called customer service, I'm now told it's past the 12 month warranty and it's my problem. I am appalled that Dodge is hiding behind this excuse. Had they fixed it right the first 4 times it wouldn't be an issue now.
