Car stuck in park....this car should be recalled.. I have found hundred of complaints about this samecar and Chrysler has not recalled it. There are enough reports compiled for NHTSA to start and investigation. The defective wiring and parts can cause fire and loss of life. The defective parts and wiring can cause acceleration or freeze car speeds in motion which can cause of loss of control. I want all Dodge Magnum owners to know the car is unsafe and hazardous. This defect must be repair and quick at the cost of Chrysler. I want me car fixed.

I own a 2007 Dodge Magnum. My complaint is about the gear shifter on Dodge vehicles. The shifter sticks in the park position and has to be replaced at owners cost. My understanding this is an ongoing problem with this company's vehicles. I spoke with an employee with the dealership I have my car repaired, he made a statement that they have to repair about 10 a week. If this is an ongoing problem, do you not think the car company should be responsible in replacing the part that is malfunctioning ??
My car was put in park so that a gate could be closed, then the car wouldn't register that the car was in "park"....the car would not come out of park. The tow cost me $400 and the repair bill was close to $500. My mechanic said that the "drive shaft" was broken...that it was "shattered" because it's just a plastic piece unlike any other cars...also...one time I was driving on the fwy at about 70 mph when the car lost all power...very scary...all of a sudden power came back on thank god...but scary..!!
