This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.

The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who diagnosed that the interlock spring hook in the shifter assembly was fractured and needed to be replaced.

I have a 2006 Dodge Magnum I had the car for about 5 years at about 95,000 miles when I got off from work I've gotten into my car and started it up and just when I apply my brakes to put the car in drive it would not move into drive reverse are neutral at all and I heard this happening to other vehicles such as chargers etc. When I called the dealer about it they told me that it could be the shifter assembly and its a very common thing that happens to a lot of these particular cars and to me that's not a good sign and it should be taking into consideration because that's a defect that needs to be on recall you can be in a middle of nowhere and I try to take off and I can't put my car into park while at a drive threw somewhere and I can't move my car into drive and now am stranded my car is at the shop right now getting prepared to be fix and there charging me 360 dollars plus tax just to fix what they know is common on those cars and it really needs to be looking into because no car should do that I was better off buying me a Toyota are something that's not going to brake so easily like that and I shouldn't have to pay for something that Dodge dealers know about these cars commonly braking like that and I will be getting that shifter assembly part that broke as well.
I witnessed a car incident on my way home from work and I put my 2006 Dodge Magnum in park to check on the victim in the accident. When the police arrived I was instructed to leave the area and my car would not move from park position. It seems that this is a re occurring problem with Dodge Magnum as I read on car blogs. I had to get my car towed at my own expense from the area. I have not yet repaired the problem as I do not have the funds. But I had to dismantle the gear box in order to push the override switch to drive the car.
The vehicle surges between 1500-3500 RPM's and sometimes at idle. The problem comes and goes and is often accompanied by problems with the transmission shifting. Somethimes at a stop the trans will not down shift and when I accelerate again it is stuck in a high gear which has many times caused me to be put in danger while pulling into traffic, the car won't accelerate to speed properly. It is unerving to never know if it will drive properly without shifting or surging problems. It has been doing this for 15,000 miles and I have taken it inot the dealer 6-7 times and they still having fixed anything, because there is no code coming up for them.
