2005 DODGE MAGNUM Complaints

1). ON 7-31-13, I GOT INTO MY CAR AND STARTED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE SHIFT KNOB WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK POSITION. I CALLED AAA TO TOW IT TO FINNEGAN DODGE IN ROSENBERG, TX. THE DEALER REPLACED SHIFT ASSEMBLY. PAID $390.36. SINCE THEN, CAR STILL WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK TO GO INTO GEAR MOST OF THE TIME. I HAVE TO PUMP BRAKE PEDAL ABOUT 4 TO 5 TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR. 2) RECEIVED AIRBAG RECALL AND CALLED FINNEGAN DODGE, AND DROPPED OFF VEHICLE ON 6-22-15. MILEAGE WAS 82,058. DEALER STATED THEY REPLACED DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATER AND TESTED THE SYSTEM. I PICKED UP CAR ON 6-23-15 AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHETHER THERE WAS A PASSENGER OR NOT. I DID NOT HAVE THESE PROBLEMS UNTIL AIRBAG WORK WAS DONE. CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND SAID SOMEONE WILL CALL BACK, BUT NEVER DID. I CALLED ON 7-24-15, AND THEY SCHEDULED ME TO BRING THE CAR BACK ON 8-5-15. HOPEFULLY, THEY WON'T CHARGE ME FOR THEIR MESS-UP.
