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*JB

ENGINE
ENGINE COMPUTER THAT TALKS TO KEY TO DETERMINE "MATCH" DIES AND SHUTS OFF VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. COMPUTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. 14000 MILES LATER (TWO YEARS LATER) COMPUTER THAT WAS REPLACED DOES THE EXACT SAME THING AND DODGE WILL NOT REPLACE AS A DEFECTIVE, BUT RATHER CHARGING 1200 BUCKS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT RANDOMLY JUST CUTS OFF ENGINE WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND CAN BE REAR ENDED. THIS IS NOT A PART THAT "WEARS". AND THIS IS NOT A PART THAT SHOULD EVER HAVE TO BE REPLACED OR GO BAD. *TR
