The engine stalls randomly after stopping at a stop sign or red light. This will ofter occur several times in a row. After restarting the car it will not go into gear and be stuck in neutral. The problem will also occur at speed, dying causing a small decelleration and then starting again on its own. This is very dangerous because the driver behind you has no indication that you are stalled and stopping unexpectedly.

On Friday, July 1, 2011l, my 2007 Dodge Magnum was stuck in park. The car would start and the motor was running, but I could not get the gear shifter to move out of park. I had to have the Magnum towed to the dealership to have it repaired. The dealership performed a diagnosis on Tuesday, July 5, 2011, and called to inform my husband of the problem. . . . . . . . . . . . . Found internal shifter failure adn repalced shifter assembly, and the cost of repairs was $391. 51.

The car wont shift gears easily and start up properly. I was told that it was the intake manifold. And that it has happened on several cars before mine. This sounds like a defect. I can be on the highway and the car want shift from slow to fast properly, which can cause a scary situation if some isn't paying attention.

Gear shifter will not go into any gear. It is locked in the park position.

There is a piece in the driving gear shift that allows you to shift out of park and drive your vehicle. When this piece breaks it will not allow the gear shift to move out of park. This has been occurring in many Dodge vehicles. I have had four other people complain that this has happened to their car also. It seems to be a little plastic piece that seems very easy to break. It is inside the driving gear shift. It will just not allow the vehicle to move out of park but will allow to move through drive, reverse, and the other shifts.

Things such as hair, liquids, dust, dirt and other debris falls down into the gear shifter of the Dodge model cars causes shifter problems. The gear shifter will lock in park, and will not move to any of the other gears. Dodge service department manager confirms that this is a common problem in all of the Dodge model cars. The only way to correct the failure permanently is to replace the gear shifter. This can cost anywhere from the low end of $325 to high end $425 including parts and labor. To force the car to shift gears you will have to manually remove the console over the shifter and manually shift which uses the gears from under the dashboard. This is not the way a car designed to drive and is not safe to shift gears from the dashboard. There are forums online regarding this failure in addition to other consumer complaints. . Read more...

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.
