We own a 2006 Dodge Magnum. The vehicle has been maintained with the appropriate maintenance by the Dodge service center. On 07-02-09 the vehicle was driving from home at 10:00am, at 10:30 once trying to depart the shopping center location the vehicles gear shifter would not remove from the parked position, and had to be towed. It was discovered that all the 2006-2007 Dodge Magnums, chargers, and Chrysler 300's gear shifters have been getting stuck in park. The reason giving is that there's a defective plastic wheel that breaks. This shouldn't be taking place, it's not known whether other's have broken in another gear while driving or not, and could be detrimental if it does especially while the vehicle is in motion and causes the driver to have an accident and instantly go in a direction or just stall in traffic. This needs to be addressed and placed on the recall list, just as the cable shifter has been recalled on the Dodge Magnums. Please look into this matter with reimbursement to all that have had this problem repaired.
