I Purchased this car as a used vehicle in july 2005.It only had 15000 original miles. So it was almost like a new vehicle.Since I owned this car I have never had a problem out of it,Until Now!! If Dodge knew that this was a problem or a recall on this vehicle,Then why should I pay for the repairs.I know that my vehicle is out of Warranty so now the repairs will be my expense. I called the Dealer and spoke with someone in the Service Dept. And that person said that it would be $300.00 To $400.00 for the Repairs. When I removed the center Console I found a Pink Colored Plastic Piece just laying there by the Gear Shifter.I don't know were it goes or were it came from.But this could be the cause of the Problem!!

My 2005 Dodge Magnum was running great, parked it, went to get in it again, and wouldnt come out of park. After looking on the internet, and researching this problem, it seems to be common. A piece of very cheap plastic inside the shifter housing that has tension pulling on it ALL the time, had broken. By the research we did, it would cost 300-400 dollars to repair. However, took the shifting housing out of the car and disassembled it, and took the plastic piece off and took a piece of wire and repaired the plastic piece and hooked it back to the spring and reassembled the housing and placed it back in the car, hooking up all cables and wires. Total job, 2hrs. Can find details on how to do it on the internet.
