The car is stuck in park. After reading several forums from other consumers with the same make, model and year, this seems to be a problem for alot of consumers. Other Dodge models had a recall so I don't understand why there isn't a recall for the Dodge Magnum.
Car will not shif out of park, and the btsi override button does not release it from park. A small pink peice called a shifter interlock oe part# 4578029ac broke. Went to the dealer $172 for the entire shifter (they do not sell the $30 plastic shifter interlock) $187 -2 hours of labor to install. (warrenty does not cover this).
The clearcoat on the optional wheels bubbles and comes off around the center cap. This in turns corrode. Might have been acceptable in the '80s but total nonsense now!.
I have a 2005 Dodge Magnum rt, and it has a stalling problem, it will stall at traffic lights, when your turning a corning or while your driving. My wife has almost been in a accident because it stalled turning a corner,you lose a power, this is a dangerous situation. I have researched this and it is all over the internet with people having this same problem. . . . I have had it to several mechanics and they don't know what is wrong. . . . . I no longer drive this car it just sits in my driveway. . . . .
I have a complaint against the city of montgomery,al, the county of montgomery, al, the state of al etc. . I been having problems with my mail running 6 to 20 days not delivered. Now I'm having problems with my car. Honestly I don't trust the dealer and there service department when it comes to my safety. Furthermore I made a complaint with the department of justice when it came to my privacy which pertains to a gps system I feel was attached by alabama government officials because of the current complaints I have against them. I took my car in on 04/30/09 at 1:00 pm for repair at the brewbaker service department. I was told by ronnie a service representative that I would get my car back that day after a part came in. I checked on my car everyday up to know 05/04/09. Ronnie still up till this day is stating he is waiting on a part. I seriously think something is wrong. It don't take 5 days to repair a car or wait on a part for minor service which ronnie said would take an hour to repair. More importantly my car has been sitting at this shop for 5 days for minor repair and I question the safety of the car being that I have a complaint against alabama government officials and the fact my privacy is being invaded. Please look into my complaint and just consider this a predetermination if I have problems with this car 2005 Dodge Magnum in the future. The company's info is brewbaker motors Chrysler Dodge etc dealer, 300 eastern bypass, montgomery, al 36117 (334)279-0174.
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 breaks 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 break so easily like that and I shouldn't have to pay for something that Dodge dealers know about these cars commonly breaking like that and I will be getting that shifter assembly part that broke as well.
Dodge Magnum 2005 stalls when put in reverse. Problem continues occasionally.
When my wife depressed the accelerator in reverse, the pedal went to the floorboard with no engine reaction. Approxiamtely 3-4 seconds later, the car violently took off backwards, ramming another car in our driveway. This action was repeatable for months and it was documented by the insurance adjuster as a major mechanical malfunction. Dodge did not address that there was a problem and every time said there are no problems. We have found others with the same problem on the internet. This cost our insurance compnay several thousand dollars. Also, the factory tires had very premature tire wear. I had to replace them at 18,000 miles. Dodge did replace suspension parts under warranty prior to the premature tire wear. Again, Dodge said there was no problems with the car attributable to the tire wear.
