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. *TR

RIGHT WHEN MY 2008 DODGE MAGNUM HIT 50,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING ROUGHTLY. DODGE SAYS IM NOT COVER. THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND IT ONLY HAS 59,900 MILES ON IT NOW. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM AND WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS. *TR

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. *TR

08 MAGNUM PURCHASED 08.08.2009 W/ 40,235 MILES W/ 48,000 EXTENDED WARRANTY. AROUND JANUARY OF 2010 STALLING IN PARKING LOTS, AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, WHILE IN REVERSE. WHILE REGULAR DRIVING CAR WILL BUCK, AS THOUGH NEUTRAL WAS ENGAGED AND DISENGAGED. THIS MAY OCCUR WEEKLY, NO DIAGNOSIS WAS MADE ON MULTIPLE TRIPS. NOW WHILE DRIVING AT 65-70MPH ON HIGHWAY ON 6/04/2010, RIGHT FRONT TIE ROD END "EXPLODES". I WAS ABLE TO WRESTLE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND SAFELY PULL OVER TO SHOULDER AFTER NEARLY HITTING WALL. BOTH TIE ROD ENDS ARE CURRENTLY BEING REPLACED, AFTER MECHANIC DESCRIBES LEFT TIE ROD AS HAVING " EXCESSIVE PLAY". SPEED SENSOR DAMAGED BECAUSE RIGHT TIE ROD EXPLOSION. AS OFF NOW THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE IS STILL BEING ASSESSED, AND THE OLD PARTS HAVE BEEN REQUESTED TO STAY WITH THE CAR AS PROOF. THE ENGINE TROUBLES AND EXCESSIVE STALLING HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED. PURCHASED DODGE BECAUSE OF LOVE FOR THE QUALITY AND CARS. AFTER INVESTIGATING; RECALLS/COMPLAINTS, NUMEROUS FORUMS I HAVE FOUND THIS PROBLEM TO BE IN THE HUNDREDS. PLEASE OPEN A CASE, I HAVE WAITED TO FILE A COMPLIANT SO THAT I WOULD HAVE TIME TO DO RESEARCH AND MAKE SURE I WOULD NOT BE "CRYING WOLF". CURRENTLY I AM TERRIFIED TO ACCEPT THE CAR, BECAUSE IF THE LEFT TIE ROD END WAS NOT IDENTIFIED AS PROBLEMATIC, THEN IT IS POSSIBLE THAT I COULD HAVE BEEN AWAITING REPAIRS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM LATER DOWN THE ROAD. AND I AM UNSURE IF I CAN KEEP WORRYING ABOUT WHEN AND WHERE THE CAR WILL STALL NEXT. IT IS NERVE RACKING TO HAVE TO CONSTANTLY PANIC WHEN IT DOES, OR EVEN IF IT WILL START BACK UP, ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS SHOULD NOT BE A ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR
