THIS CAR WENT IN FOR A COOLING FAN RECALL IN LATE JULY. AT THE SAME TIME, THE 60,000 MILE TRANSMISSION SERVICE WAS COMPLETED. I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH HOW IT SHIFTED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY ON AN IRREGULAR BASIS. WE LEFT ON VACATION A WEEK LATER AND JUST RETURNED SEPT. 8TH. I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORSE, SO I CALLED THE GARAGE TO TAKE IT IN. I WAS JUST TOLD THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS BAD, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF A WATER LEAK IN THE DIPSTICK. THE SERVICE GUY TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER HAS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM ON MANY CARS. MY SUSPICION: WHY DID IT GO OUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING SERVICED AT ROSS CHRYSLER IN BOONE, NC. IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE WATER LEAKS, CHRYSLER SHOULD BE SHARING WITH THE COST ($1600) TO REPLACE THE CONVERTER. AM I BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BECAUSE I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN. ADD WATER TO THE TRANSMISSION WHILE BEING WORKED ON, AND IT RUINS THE CONVERTER. *KB

PLEASE PUT YOUR SELF IN OUR SHOE`S THIS HAS GOT TO BE DEALT WITH OR SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IN A CRASH. PLEASE DON'T LET DODGE SKATE ON THIS ONE CAN WE NOT GET A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT GOING? I HOPE I DON`T CRASH AND KILL SOMEBODY`S CHILD OR LOVED ONE. 1. DANGEROUS! ENTIRE CAR SHAKES WHEN TRAVELING AT 40-80+ MPH. THE SHAKE SHOWS UP IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE TO HANDLE AT SPEEDS OF 65MPH. THIS SHAKE IS NOT PRESENT WHEN BRAKING, ONLY UNDER ACCELERATION AND USUALLY ONLY WHEN YOU GO OVER 40MPH. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT IT ACTUALLY HURTS MY EARS DO TO THE "PULSING AND POUNDING AIR PRESSURE WHEN ONLY ONE WINDOW, ANY WINDOW IS OPEN. IT IS DEAFENING!!. THE WHEELS WERE BALANCED ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND THAT DIDN'T NOTHING BUT WAIST MY TIME AND MONEY. 2. CAR NEARLY STALLS OUT WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR ON WIDE OPEN THROTTLE. (CAN BE DANGEROUS IF YOU EXPECT THE CAR TO GO AND IT STUTTERS. ALMOST APPEARS AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL, LIKE IT'S STARVED FOR GAS). AND IF ALL THAT IS NOT ENOUGH, THE RACK AND PINION NEED REPLACING, AFTER ONLY 53 THOUSAND MILES!!!??? IT SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 150,000 MILES I ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 10,000 MILES A YEAR! AND ON VERY SMOOTH ROADS. NOW I AM OUT OF MONEY AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE ENDS MEET ON $995 DOLLARS A MONTH. DON`T I / WE HAVE GOVERNMENT BACKED CONSUMER RIGHTS WHEN THESE PROBLEMS ARE SO OBVIOUS AND BLATANTLY BEING IGNORED. DODGE SHOULD BY NOW, KNOW WHAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE, AND IF NOT, THEY SHOULD FEEL

WE OWN A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM; IT WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK (70,000+ MILES). IT JUST HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND.

I OWN A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM STR8, THAT WILL NOT SOME OUT OF PARK,WITH 66,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE READ OVER MANY MANY REPORTS OF THIS EXACT ISSUE WITH DODGE MAGNUMS AND CHARGERS AND NOW IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME. WHY IS THERE STILL NOT A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? I AM SHOCKED THAT THE NHTSA HAS NOT RECEIVED FAR MORE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION ON THE DODGE MAGNUM HAS MANY ISSUES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND OFF SIGNALING THAT YOUR TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. A PERSON CAN FEEL A "THUMP" AND THE CAR WILL MOMENTARILY STALL. HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUOUSLY FOR REPAIR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL STILL COME ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. THE DEALERSHIP SAY THEY CAN NOT REPEAT THE INCIDENT. A BLOG ON EDMUNDS.COM ON "DODGE MAGNUM TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS" HAS SEVERAL ENTRIES COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME INCIDENT AND DEALERSHIPS SAYING THE SAME ISSUES BUT NO REAL ANSWERS. MY PROBLEMS OCCURRED ABOUT WITH 40K ON THE ODOMETER. OTHERS REPORTED EARLIER INCIDENTS. *TR

WE OWN A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WITH THE APPROPRIATE MAINTENANCE BY THE DODGE SERVICE CENTER.

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. *TR
