The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Magnum. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact attempted to shift into drive; however, the gear shifter remained stuck in park. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle remained at the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 113,000.

Airbag lights suddenly always on. Unknown if they are working or about to deploy. Hesitation in transmission while shifting, not sure if working properly. I haven't had any recalls fixed on this vehicle. It showed recalls and suddenly it shows all repaired. Is it due to the year?2005? Seat belts don't retract and are have to be manually maneuvered.

The vehicle stalled during normal use traveling about 35 miles an hour right after an intersection. MY husband was able to safely make it off the road as we live in a small town he did this by feathering the accelerator pedal. He is a mechanic so he was able to get it home by lightly tapping the pedal. If he pressed the pedal too hard the car stalled without warning so he lightly tapped on it and made it 2 blocks to our home where it has set in the driveway ever since. We spent over $1000 replacing parts such as the throttle body and the fuel pump and sending unit, egr, pcv, crankshaft sensor, plugs,injectors, intake seals, air intake temperature sensor and throttle body which include the throttle position sensor. Before we went for the cam sensor I decided to look up the issue and found so many...

My pcm and tcm needs flash update I am a new owner on vehicle and The last owner has not gotten required updates

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE FAILED AND CAUSED THE TIRES TO SKIP AND BOUNCE. THE CONTACT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE HIMSELF. THE CONTACT REMOVED THE PLANETARY GEAR CLUTCH SYSTEM AND REPLACED THE CAP. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60, 000.

NOTICED WITH CERTAIN SPEEDS AND RPM RANGES, TRANSMISSION (42RLE) WILL HAVE VERY HARD UPSHIFT (FEELS ALMOST LIKE I'M BEING REAR ENDED) AND LACK POWER COMPARED TO OTHER TIMES. AS DISCUSSED IN A FORUM, OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH AND/OR THE PCM PROGRAMMING THAT MAKES THE TRANSMISSION BEHAVE IN THIS WAY. I TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLE AND PERFORM REGULAR MAINTENANCE. EVEN AFTER TRANSMISSION FLUSHES, PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT.

I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL, I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE DEALT WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS. I HOPE YOU CAN ASSIST ME IN GETTING THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED.. THE DATE THAT I PUT IN WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IS ESTIMATED. IT'S BEEN SO LONG I DON'T REMEMBER WHEN IT STARTED.

WASN'T ABLE TO GET THE SHIFTER OUT OF PARK, MANAGED TO GET SOMEONE TO HELP ME PUT IN NEUTRAL TO GET THE CAR HOME, NOW I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR A MONTH OR SO BY NOT PUTTING IN PARK, JUST KEEPING IT IN NEUTRAL WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. WOULD LOVE TO GET THIS RESOLVED WITH OUT HAVING TO SPEND MONEY THAT I DON'T HAVE. IT SEEMS THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR YEARS NOW AND YET NO ONE HAS ISSUED DODGE ANY NOTICE TO SUBMIT A RECALL FOR THIS. MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TIME AND MONEY TO BE DEALING WITH THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS, SO THEY END UP IN THE SAME SITUATION AS I AM HAVING TO SPEND MORE TIME SECURING THE CAR SO IT DOESN'T INJURE ANYONE AND AT THE SAME TIME KEEP ME EMPLOYED.

AFTER FILLING MY CAR WITH GAS IT RUNS ROUGH AND STALLS SEVERAL TIMES WHILE MOVING. AFTER RESTARTING IT SEVERAL TIMES IT SEEMS OK UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I FILL THE GAS AGAIN. WHEN IT STALLS IT SOUNDS LIKE THE DRIVETRAIN IS MESSING UP. IT DOES THIS CITY HIGHWAY TURNING OR STRAIGHT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING REGULARLY FOR AT LEAST 6 WEEKS ONLY RIGHT AFTER FILLING AND SPORADICALLY FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS OR MORE.

THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINT'S ONLINE ABOUT THE SHIFTER PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VEHICLE. AFTER CONTACTING CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS THEY SAID THE VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER RECALL AND THAT THE FOLLOWING YEAR MAGNUM SHIFTING PROBLEM WAS. WHEN I CAN FIND OVER 300 COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT MY YEAR VEHICLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF THE PARK INTO ANY GEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, IT DID NOT ENGAGE IN GEAR. THE CONTACT HAD TO MOVE THE STICK SHIFT IN ORDER FOR IT TO ENGAGE IN GEAR.

THE CAR SHUTS DOWN TO A CRAWL . CAN'T GET ANY CODES FROM IT. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON THE HIGHWAY PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED RAN FINE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. GETTING WORST EVERY SINCE NOW SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY NO CODES AFRAID TO PUT THE FAMILY IN IT.I THINK DODGE DISCONTINUED BECAUSE THEY CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THE PROBLEMS

WHEN DRIVING OR SITTING STILL THE BAS LIGHT COMES ON, CAR GOES TO 800 RPM IDLE AND TRANSMISSION GOES INTO NEUTRAL. CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL I COME TO A STOP, PUT CAR INTO PARK AND TURN IGNITION OFF. VEHICLE CAN THEN BE RESTARTED AND DRIVEN AGAIN UNTIL IT DOES THIS AGAIN, EITHER A MINUTE LATER OR A MONTH LATER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY TRACTOR TRAILERS WHILE TRYING TO PULL OVER AND GO AGAIN. AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE I BOUGHT CAR AND DEALER WILL NOT FIX IT.

THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH IS DEFECTIVE. THERE IS A RECALL ON MANY OTHER SIMILAR CARS. RECALL K39. OUR CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL.

1). ON 7-31-13, I GOT INTO MY CAR AND STARTED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE SHIFT KNOB WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK POSITION. I CALLED AAA TO TOW IT TO FINNEGAN DODGE IN ROSENBERG, TX. THE DEALER REPLACED SHIFT ASSEMBLY. PAID $390.36. SINCE THEN, CAR STILL WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK TO GO INTO GEAR MOST OF THE TIME. I HAVE TO PUMP BRAKE PEDAL ABOUT 4 TO 5 TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR. 2) RECEIVED AIRBAG RECALL AND CALLED FINNEGAN DODGE, AND DROPPED OFF VEHICLE ON 6-22-15. MILEAGE WAS 82,058. DEALER STATED THEY REPLACED DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATER AND TESTED THE SYSTEM. I PICKED UP CAR ON 6-23-15 AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHETHER THERE WAS A PASSENGER OR NOT. I DID NOT HAVE THESE PROBLEMS UNTIL AIRBAG WORK WAS DONE. CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND SAID SOMEONE WILL...

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR SITTING IN PARK, THE BAS LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL COME ON, WHEN IT DOES THIS THE ENGINE GOES TO 800 RPM IDLE AND THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO NEUTRAL, RENDERING OF THE VEHICLE IN CAPABLE OF DRIVING UNTIL THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, IS PLACED IN PARK, IGNITION SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. THEN YOU CAN OPERATE THE VEHICLE AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT DOES THIS, WHICH MAY BE ONE MINUTE OR A WEEK. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT IS HAPPENING TO ME GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY A COUPLE OF TIMES, AT WHICH TIME I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF RESTART THE VEHICLE AND THEN TRY TO PULL AWAY. TWICE I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY SEMI TRACTOR-TRAILERS AS THE VEHICLE IS COASTING WITH NO POWER. PLEASE HELP ME, I AM IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE...

I WAS STOPPED AT LIGHT. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. SOMETHING EXITED THE PASSENGER SIDE OF ENGINE BLOCK CAUSING A LARGE HOLE. CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE ENSUED. I TURNED THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION. I TURNED THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I COASTED TO THE NEAREST SIDE ROAD WHERE I STOPPED THE VEHICLE. I FINISHED MY MORNING COFFEE WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS, CRASHES, FIRES OR INJURIES OTHER THAN THAT DONE TO MY HEMI PRIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN PARK, THE GEAR LEVER FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK HAD FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPRING HOOK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

AFTER FILLING UP THE CAR WITH GAS IT STALLS AND YOU LOSE STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL, VERY DANGEROUS AND MY WIFE IS NOW SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR. STALLING WENT AWAY AFTER AN HOUR TRYING TO GET HOME. NEXT MORNING SEEMED TO RUN FINE. NEXT FILL UP DID THE SAME THING. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO CAUSE DEATHS FOR SURE IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY. CONTACTING THE DEALER ASAP TO SEE IF THEY HAVE OTHERS WITH SAME ISSUE. *TR

CROWHOPPING IS THE TERM USED BY MOST WEBSITES GOOGLE CROWHOPPING MAGNUM RT AWD TELLS IT ALL ON MULTIPLE WEBSITES WITH MULTIPLE CUSTOMERS..DODGE HAS SEEM TO TERM A BLIND EAR TO THIS YEAR MODEL THAT SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME AS ANOTHER YEAR WITH THE ISSUE. CONTACTED DEALER MAIN OFFICE...AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS NO SURPRISE. *TR

TRANSMISSION FLY WHEEL TEETH WAS BROKEN ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FLY WHEEL CAUSE IT TO START FUNNY AND MISS STARTING. *TR

AFTER MANY CONVERSATIONS WITH CHRYSLER ASSOCIATES, AND MANY INTERNET SEARCHES...THERE IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 DODGE MAGNUM AWD SYSTEMS. APPARENTLY DODGE USED A FRICTION DISK SETUP IN THE TRANSFER CASE, AFTER TIME THE LEFT OVER DEBRIS AND MINERALS CLOG THE DISKS AND CAUSE A HORRIBLE SHUTTER AT LOW SPEEDS DURING "PARKING LOT MANEUVERS." THIS ISSUE WAS RESOLVED IN LATER YEARS, BUT I SEE IT RIDICULOUS THAT JUST ABOUT EVERY 2005 AWD IS AFFECTED BY THIS AND THIS IS LISTED AS A TSB AND NOT A RECALL. SINCE DODGE WILL COVER THIS UNDER THEIR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY I SEE THIS AS A RIDICULOUS REQUEST TO MAKE PEOPLE PAY THE SERVICE CHARGE TO HAVE THE CLUTCH PACK REMOVED AND HAVE THE FLUIDS CHANGED, WHEN THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION FEELS IT WAS AND ISSUE ENOUGH TO COVER IT UNDER THERE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. *TR

ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE VEHICLE, COULD NOT GET SHIFTER OUT OF PARK...COMPLETELY STUCK. LOOKED ON THE INTERNET ONLY TO FIND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WITH SAME ISSUE. I .CALLED DEALER FOR APT, THEY KNEW RIGHT AWAY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS...APPARENTLY AN ISSUE WITH DODGE CHALLENGER, MAGNUM AND CHRYSLER 300. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT I HAD TO PAY 378.00 AT THE DEALER FOR A KNOWN ISSUE...THE PINK THINGY IT IS CALLED. A PLASTIC PIECE THAT BREAKS...THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, I COULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED WHO KNOWS WHERE...AND THE ADVISE ON THE INTERNET AS SELF REPAIR IS SCARY AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. *TR

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...

THE TRANSMISSION (GEAR SHIFT) WAS STUCK IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND I, AS OWNER WAS NOTIFIED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY YEAR OF VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON YEARS 2008-2010. THEN I HAD TO PAY $287.00 FOR LABOR COSTS AND $12.97 FOR THE PART. $301.01 TOTAL. I STRONGLY FEEL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER. I AM AN ELDERLY WOMAN AND I LIVE ON A FIXED INCOME. I FEEL THIS MATTER SHOULD FALL UNDER THE RECALL FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. *TR

EVERY TIME YOU FILL CAR WITH GAS IT STALLS YOU HAVE TO BURN OFF GAS BEFORE YOU CAN DRIVE. *TR

DRIVING A CAR THAT STOPS RUNNING WITH NO WARNING IS VERY DANGEROUS. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

DROVE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AT 70F AMBIENT. TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND WAS AWAY FROM IT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. RESTARTED ENGINE AND IT HAD LITTLE IF ANY COMPRESSION AND MADE A BAD METAL BANGING SOUND WHEN STARTED. ENGINE DESTROYED. DEALERSHIP ANALYSIS REVEALED #3 INTAKE VALVE SEAT FELL OUT OF HEAD AND DESTROYED #3 PISTON AND CYLINDER REQUIRING A NEW ENGINE. VEHICLE HAS 91,000 MILES. *TR

IF I FILL MY TANK AND I DRIVE IT AWAY FROM THE PUMP, IT WILL STUTTER, HESITATE, JERK, THEN DIE. I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ENGINE. AFTERWARDS, IT WON'T IMMEDIATELY RESTART. IT WILL START AGAIN AFTER A FEW MINUTES. IT WON'T START DRIVING GOOD AGAIN UNTIL I RUN THE GAS LEVEL DOWN A LITTLE. AFTER I FILL, IT WILL RUN OK UNTIL I MAKE A TURN OR COME TO A STOP, SOMETHING THAT WILL SLOSH THE FUEL IN THE TANK AGAIN THEN IT WILL ACT LIKE IT IS STARVED FOR FUEL. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I FILL MY TANK. IF I DON'T FILL IT COMPLETELY THEN IT WILL DO IT. IT NEVER DID THIS WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY CAR. ONE TIME AFTER I THIS HAPPENED, I OPENED THE GAS CAP AND IT WAS HISSING AND SPITTING GAS JUST SITTING THERE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS IF THIS...

JUST BOUGHT THE CAR, FILLED UP THE FUEL TANK AT GAS STATION AND WENT FOR A DRIVE. AT THE FIRST STOP LIGHT I CAME TO THE CAR STALLED WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO STOP COASTED TO A STOP AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, RESUMED DRIVING AND IT WAS DRIVING OK GOT ONTO THE ON-RAMP TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL THE FUEL LEVEL WENT DOWN AFTER DRIVING. *TR

I HAVE HAD AT LEAST 3 OF THE ISSUES OF THE COMPLAINTS I AM SEEING HERE AND WONDERING WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS ISSUED: 1) CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OR IT WOULD DIE AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. WENT ON LINE AND FOUND OTHERS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEM. FIX: DO NOT FILL YOUR GAS TANK UP ALL THE WAY AND ALSO DO NOT LET IT GET TOO CLOSE TO EMPTY. 2) NEITHER THE BACK HATCH OR THE HOOD WILL STAY UP ON THEIR OWN. HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE HEAD WITH THE BACK HATCH NUMEROUS TIMES - SOMETIMES IT WORKS. 3) COULD NOT GET CAR OUT OF PARK. AGAIN WENT ON LINE AND EVEN FOUND A YOUTUBE VIDEO EXPLANING HOW TO REMOVE THE PINK THINGY FROM THE GEAR COUNSEL AND ALL WILL BE OK. SAVED HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS BUT NOW NO SAFETY DUE TO THE FACT THAT CAR CAN...

WENT OUT TO START THE CAR ON 11/7/13 AND COULD NOT GET THE SHIFT OUT OF PARK. CALLED THE DODGE DEALER AND HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG. CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND THE OWNER SAID THAT HE ALSO KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG AND THAT HIS SMALL TOWING SERVICE HAD TOWED HUNDREDS OF CHRYSLER / DODGE CARS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MY PROBLEM - CANNOT GET OUT OF PARK. I ALSO CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY KNEW OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THAT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED - ONLY CERTAIN VIN'S ARE COVERED. IF THERE ARE 100'S OF CARS JUST IN MY SMALL LOCATION, THERE MUST BE 1000'S, IF NOT TENS OF THOUSANDS AFFECTED VEHICLES NATION WIDE. I WILL ALSO MENTION THAT THE MANUAL OVERRIDE FOR THE SHIFTER DID NOT WORK, SO...

VEHICLE STUCK IN PARK. VEHICLE IS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM SXT. TOW TRUCK OPERATOR AND AUTO REPAIR INDIVIDUALS STATED THAT THIS IS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER BREAKING AS IT MADE OF PLASTIC. COMMENTS WERE "THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME IN DODGE AND CHRYSLERS" AS "I SEE THIS QUITE FREQUENTLY". A RECALL WAS ISSUED (RECALL K39) FOR VARIOUS YEARS, MAKES, AND MODELS OF DODGE AND CHRYSLERS BUT NOT FOR THE 2005 MAGNUM SXT EVEN THOUGH RECALL K39 APPLIES TO 2005 MAGNUM LXS. WHY DOESN'T THE RECALL APPLY TO THE 2005 DODGE MAGNUM SXT WHEN IT APPLIES TO THE SAME YEAR AND MAKE? WHAT CRITERIA IS APPLIED FOR A RECALL TO BE ISSUED? IS THERE A CERTAIN THRESHOLD OF INCIDENTS OR COMPLAINTS THAT MUST BE REACHED PRIOR TO A RECALL BEING ISSUED? SINCE THIS DEFECT IS SO FREQUENT, PREVALENT, AND WELL KNOWN IN THE AUTO REPAIR INDUSTRY WHY HAS...
