My transmission suddenly failed while I was on a very busy highway, the long island expressway. I was driving in the left lane when suddenly I was not able to operate the vehicle. The car stopped. No prior warnings, no recall from Dodge.
2005 Dodge Magnum - transmission failure 2 times in 1 week. Known issue with Dodge - service bulletin issued. Transmission was repaired as per bulletin - picked up car from Dodge repair, jasper Dodge, jasper alabama, drove 115 miles with 3 year old and 7 year old in vehicle and transmission shut down doing 70 mph on hwy 78. Could have been fatal. Since this was a known issue and since it appears that their service repair failed to resolve problem - I personally feel the vehicle should be recalled before a fatal accident occurs. At 70 mph vehichle just lost all power. Had I been in a major metropolitan area, I may not have been so lucky.
