I HAVE A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM I HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS AT ABOUT 95,000 MILES WHEN I GOT OFF FROM WORK I'VE GOTTEN INTO MY CAR AND STARTED IT UP AND JUST WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKES TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT WOULD NOT MOVE INTO DRIVE REVERSE ARE NEUTRAL AT ALL AND I HEARD THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER VEHICLES SUCH AS CHARGERS ETC. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER ABOUT IT THEY TOLD ME THAT IT COULD BE THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY AND ITS A VERY COMMON THING THAT HAPPENS TO A LOT OF THESE PARTICULAR CARS AND TO ME THAT'S NOT A GOOD SIGN AND IT SHOULD BE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION BECAUSE THAT'S A DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ON RECALL YOU CAN BE IN A MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND I TRY TO TAKE OFF AND I CAN'T PUT MY CAR INTO PARK WHILE AT A DRIVE THREW SOMEWHERE AND I CAN'T MOVE MY CAR INTO DRIVE AND NOW AM STRANDED MY CAR IS AT THE SHOP RIGHT NOW GETTING PREPARED TO BE FIX AND THERE CHARGING ME 360 DOLLARS PLUS TAX JUST TO FIX WHAT THEY KNOW IS COMMON ON THOSE CARS AND IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKING INTO BECAUSE NO CAR SHOULD DO THAT I WAS BETTER OFF BUYING ME A TOYOTA ARE SOMETHING THAT'S NOT GOING TO BRAKE SO EASILY LIKE THAT AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT DODGE DEALERS KNOW ABOUT THESE CARS COMMONLY BRAKING LIKE THAT AND I WILL BE GETTING THAT SHIFTER ASSEMBLY PART THAT BROKE AS WELL. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DROVE TO MY NEARBY GAS STATION. FILLED UP THE TANK WITH 89 OCTANE FUEL UNTIL THE HANDLE CLICKED. CLOSED THE GAS CAP, STARTED THE CAR. DROVE APPROXIMATELY FOUR CAR LENGTHS AND THE CAR STALLED. AT THE TIME I WAS HALF WAY IN THE ROAD, HALF WAY IN THE GAS STATION. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO START. I NEEDED TO CRANK THE ENGINE FOR PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME APPROXIMATELY 4-5 SECONDS AND THE CAR WOULD STILL NOT START. ANOTHER START ATTEMPT AFTER THAT AND THE ENGINE STARTED WITH A RPM SURGE. ONCE THE RPM SMOOTHED OUT I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AWAY. ABOUT HALF A MILE DOWN THE ROAD OR LESS WHEN I WAS COMING DOWN TO A RED LIGHT AT SLOW SPEED THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. I PUT MY FLASHERS ON QUICKLY. ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR, THE CAR STARTED WITH SIMILAR SURGE IN RPM. AS OF THIS MORNING I HAVE 80824 AND HAVE PURCHASED THE CAR RECENTLY WITH 80151. I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME I FILLED THE CAR UP ON MY WAY FROM THE DEALER. USED RECOMMENDED 89 OCTANE FUEL, LEFT THE GAS STATION AND CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TRYING TO TURN TO A PARKING LOT ACROSS THE STREET. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS I WAS RIGHT OFF THE HIGHWAY WITH TWO SEMI TRUCK STOPS WITH LOTS OF TRAFFIC. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I HAVE SEARCHED AND IT LOOKS LIKE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR
