2007 DODGE MAGNUM Complaints

POWER TRAIN - "SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH" - VECHILE STUCK IN PARK - DODGE WILL NOT PERMIT OUR VECHILE TO BE COVERED BY THEIR "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER." BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE CORRECT MODEL AND YEAR, OUR VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION. I SAY IT IS THE SAME SMALL PLASTIC FLIMSY PART KNOWN AS THE "SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER "THAT BROKE. JUST AS IN THESE OTHER VEHICLES COVERED BY THIS RECALL. DEAR NHTSA, PLEASE MAKE THIS CHRYSLER RECALL K39 "TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER" TO COVER "ALL" 2005-2009 MODEL DODGE CHARGER, MAGNUM, CHRYSLER 300 EQUIPPED WITH A FLOOR SHIFTER.

CALLED DEALERSHIP AFTER RECEIVING SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN JUNE 2015. THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR/REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THEY'LL NOTIFY US WHEN THEY RECEIVE THEM. CALLED DEALERSHIP AFTER RECEIVING ADDITIONAL SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER 2015. THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR/REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THEY'LL NOTIFY US WHEN THEY RECEIVE THEM. WHY ARE THERE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE WHEN THEY KNOW THERE IS A PRESENT DANGER TO THE DRIVERS LIVES? WHY SEND OUT NOTICES IF THERE IS NO RESOLUTION TO THE THREAT? DOES NO ONE CARE ABOUT SAVING DRIVERS LIVES?

CAR WAS IN GARAGE AT HOME. I STARTED THE ENGINE AND WAS GOING TO BACK OUT OF GARAGE BUT COULD NOT GET SHIFTER OUT OF PARK. HAD CAR TOWED TO DODGE DEALER. SERVICE REP SAID HE'S SEEN OTHER MAGNUMS, 300'S AND CHARGERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. $510.00 LATER THE CAR WAS FIXED...ENTIRE SHIFTER ASS'Y WAS REPLACED AND CAR RUNS FINE NOW. NO INDICATION OF TROUBLE BEFORE IT BROKE BUT THIS MAY BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER CARS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.
