NHTSA Complaint #10599189 — 2005 DODGE MAGNUM

CHRYSLER VEHICLES, DODGE MAGNUM, DODGE CHARGER AND CHRYSLER 300 HAVE AN ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE SHIFTER TO GET STUCK IN PARK, AND WILL NOT SHIFT. THIS LEAVES MANY DRIVERS STRANDED CAUSES THEM TO NEED TOWING ASSISTANCE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE MOVED. I WAS STUCK AND NEEDED A TOW AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER INFORMED ME THAT MINE WAS THE SIXTH ONE HE HAD DONE THAT DAY. MY INSURANCE COMPANY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THE ISSUE HAPPENS TO MANY VEHICLES MOST OF WHICH WERE NOT COVERED UNDER CHRYSLERS K39 RECALL. CHRYSLER DID SOME MANEUVERING TO GET OUT OF COVERING ALL THE CARS AFFECTED WITH THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS FOR A FAULTY PART IN THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY OF CARS FROM 2005-2007. THEY GOT OUT OF COVERING ALL OF THE CARS BY NARROWING THE RECALL TO SPECIFIC VEHICLES MADE IN A SPECIFIC LOCATION INSTEAD OF COVERING ALL VEHICLES WITH THE FAULTY PART. KIND OF LIKE COMMITTING FRAUD. THEY SEEM TO BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CHILD SAFETY OR DEATH RELATED ISSUES. *TR
