Takata recall. I received a recall notice in july 2015 and another notice to make an appointment about 60 days later.

As of this date, dec 11,2015 I have heard nothing from the dealer about repairing my car. Recall notice r25/NHTSA 15v-313. This is a complaint about incompetent/untimely repairs on a recall.

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!! *tr

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 NHTSA 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. *tr

My Dodge magnum keeps going into limp mode. Limits to 35 MPH and will slow you to 35 quickly. I took it in to a Dodge dealer and they preformed a TCM update and allowed me to take the car I made it 5 miles before going into limp mode. I took it back to the dealer and they told me they cleared the code and I could drive it for a while before it would go in limp mode. ( so I could drive off and get in traffic on open road go in limp mode and possibly crash or be crashed into going 35 MPH on a 65mph interstate) not safe in my books. This is my 4th Dodge and 3rd time I have had a similar problem. 05 magnum, 07 magnum. 05 Ram 1500. There is forms where this happens often. I think Dodge should fix the problem and not charge me everytime they have to look at it. 70$ just to tell me it's in limp

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..!! *tr

The esp and ABS light came on and the brakes where given me resistance when I apply pressure the brakes. Had a mechanic look at it and he changed brake sensors and it goes for a while but still having the problem. Finally took it to Dodge and they are checking the problem as of now. *tr

Ignition interlock is not working right. I turn off the car and pull out the keys. Power to the car and radio stay on resulting in a dead battery. This has occurred multiple times. *tr

I've been experiencing failures with the steering angle sensor (code c121a) intermittently for over a month. In doing research with other owners of the lx series vehicles (charger, magnum, 300) and Jeep vehicles equipped with the sensor it seems that this part commonly fails, often for an undetermined reason. Explanations vary between chafing and friction causing plastic chips to obscure the electro-optical sensor, to chafing or bad wiring harnesses. The inability of this sensor to initialize results in a lack of electronic stability control which could contribute to a crash. This problem is well documented and discussed on multiple online vehicle forums such as 300cforums.com, jeepsunlimited.com, lxforums.com, jk-forum.com, dodgeforum.com and a litany of other websites. Some even h

When I put the driver seat belt on I'm unable to unbuckle or unsnap the seatbelt. I have to slide out from underneath it to get out and the sensor keeps going off now. This is a safety hazard and very dangerous
