Driving the car on bypass car began shaking uncontrollably I went to hit brake it went all the way to floor. Took to mechanic was told ABS system failed. The light for ABS also came on in car.
When driving on a m-39 southfield freeway in michigan on 09sep14, when applying part throttle input, and during a 1-2 shift or 2-3 shift, and during the shift remove my foot from the throttle the vehicle would then stall and the engine would shut off. This happen twice during the course of the trip and both occurrences happen when the vehicle was on a slight grade going up hill and the vehicle was loaded with one driver and some items. The vehicle was typically in the speed range between 18 miles per hour and 22 miles per hour. The vehicle is running calibration id 04896403al.

Vehicle automatic transmission shifter is "stuck in park". This leaves the driver stranded at a location. This is a very common problem with dodge and chrysler 2007 vehicles. (also, circa 2007) a recall was issued for the shifter interlock "pink thing" but only for certain vins. Mine has the same part, but not covered by the recall. If you look on the internet at "dodge stuck in park" you will see how many people like me are in this same predicament. I am old and have medical problems for which I don't need to be stranded or may need the vehicle to get to a doctor, etc. Chrysler dodge should issue a recall for the rest of these "stuck in park issues". Thanks!

First instance, while slowing down for a stop light felt a shudder and engine shut off, all other systems appeared normal. Coasted to stop, engine restarted without trouble. Near full tank of fuel. Second instance, while in a parking lot shifting from park to reverse engine shut off, all other systems appeared normal and engine restarted without trouble. Filled fuel tank the previous day, 3/4 tank today. Has happened on other occasions while driving at slow speeds but I do not remember the quantity of fuel, each time that car has restarted without instance and each time everything else appeared normal. The engine always seems to run properly and all of the cars other systems seem to operate normally.

Got in car to leave this morning, car started fine......but stuck in park. Called carmax where I purchased the vehicle and was told it was on a possible recall list and that this is a well known problem with the dodge magnum. That gentleman suggested I call a dodge dealership. That gentleman told me it was a known problem but my car is not on a recall list and to have it fixed was gonna cost around $800. Got online found this site, the woman updated my personal info so I would be contacted about future recalls and told me that there is a open recall for the problem I am experiencing but my car is not included????..... So I am here to complain. I do not have the money to have my car fixed, I have two young boys. One with autism........I need my car!!!! Plz consider adding my car to recall list asap.

Car stuck in park....this car should be recalled.. I have found hundred of complaints about this samecar and chrysler has not recalled it. There are enough reports compiled for the federal safety agency to start and investigation. The defective wiring and parts can cause fire and loss of life. The defective parts and wiring can cause acceleration or freeze car speeds in motion which can cause of loss of control. I want all dodge magnum owners to know the car is unsafe and hazardous. This defect must be repair and quick at the cost of chrysler. I want me car fixed.
Car would not shift out of park. Plastic retainer inside the shifter assembly was broken. Removed shifter assembly and disassembled. Replaced broken plastic part with new metal part, reassembled and reinstalled shifter and verified operation. Parts 11.79 misc 13.86 labor 277.20 dodge refused any goodwill, should be a recall due to defective original parts being replaced with new and improved parts. *tr the consumer stated recently, the check engine and etc lights illuminated. The local dodge dealer consumer the consumer the vehicle a very low compression in cylinder #5 and recommended having a valve job, as well as replacing the water pump and timing belt, at a cost of $3,500. The consumer found a local repair shop that was willing to do the work for $2,103.

Car will not shift out of park, and the btsi override button does not release it from park. A small pink piece called a shifter interlock oe part# 4578029ac broke. Went to the dealer $172 for the entire shifter (they do not sell the $30 plastic shifter interlock) $187 -2 hours of labor to install. (warranty does not cover this).
2007 dodge magnum transmission would not shift out of park. Aaa informed me this is an everyday occurrence with them. Repair for a small plastic replacement piece over $400. Dodge will not recall, why should they when they are able to get away with charging over $400 for this simple repair. Dodge would be foolish to recall when they are making over $400 for this repair.
On friday, july 1, 2011, 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. *kb 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 replaced shifter assembly, and the cost of repairs was $391.51.
Drove the o store, put the car in park as usual. When I left the store and tried to shift into reverse but the shifter would not move. I called dodge only to be told its not covered. I told them I was aware of how common this problem is and they told me too bad- its not under a recall so its your problem! I found over 300 similar cases online - how can it not be a recall!!
Automatic transmission shifter locked in park and would not move. Vehicle had to be towed to shop.extended warranty company denied claim, saying that this was not part of the transmission. The dealer charged me $500.00 to replace the shifter. Dodge agreed to pay half, but I believe that this is an ongoing condition of these vehicles that the manufacturer should pay for the fix and not offer me half.
I own a 2007 dodge magnum. My complaint is about the gear shifter on dodge vehicles. The shifter sticks in the park position and has to be replaced at owners cost . My understanding this is an ongoing problem with this company's vehicles. I spoke with an employee with the dealership I have my car repaired, he made a statement that they have to repair about 10 a week. If this is an ongoing problem, do you not think the car company should be responsible in replacing the part that is malfunctioning ??
Gear shifter will not go into any gear. It is locked in the park position.
I could not shift the automatic transmission out of park. When the tow truck operator showed up he already had the tools out to release the shifter. He said this is a very common problem with chrysler vehicles. Going online I have found this to be true. There apparently is a small plastic piece that holds a spring that breaks.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge magnum. When approaching a complete stop, the vehicle rpms would decrease as if the vehicle would stall. Also the vehicle would lurch forward when attempting to decelerate or while in park. Lastly the gear shifter would not properly shift into gear. The dealer replaced the shifter at the owner's expense. The repair did not remedy the failure. His vehicle identification number was excluded from recall campaign id number: 06v341000 (power train:automatic transmission). The failure and current mileages were under 54,000. Updated 02/01/10
My car was put in park so that a gate could be closed, then the car wouldn't register that the car was in "park"....the car would not come out of park. The tow cost me $400 and the repair bill was close to $500. My mechanic said that the "drive shaft" was broken...that it was "shattered" because it's just a plastic piece unlike any other cars...also...one time I was driving on the fwy at about 70 MPH when the car lost all power...very scary...all of a sudden power came back on thank god...but scary..!!
