POWER TRAIN
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 MODE WHEN I ALREADY KNEW THAT AND KNEW WHAT CODE WAS TRIPPED FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

POWER TRAIN
POWER TRAIN - "SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH" - VECHILE STUCK IN PARK - DODGE WILL NOT PERMIT OUR VECHILE TO BE COVERED BY THEIR "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER." BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE CORRECT MODEL AND YEAR, OUR VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION. I SAY IT IS THE SAME SMALL PLASTIC FLIMSY PART KNOWN AS THE "SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER "THAT BROKE. JUST AS IN THESE OTHER VEHICLES COVERED BY THIS RECALL. DEAR NHTSA, PLEASE MAKE THIS CHRYSLER RECALL K39 "TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER" TO COVER "ALL" 2005-2009 MODEL DODGE CHARGER, MAGNUM, CHRYSLER 300 EQUIPPED WITH A FLOOR SHIFTER.

CALLED DEALERSHIP AFTER RECEIVING SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN JUNE 2015. THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR/REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THEY'LL NOTIFY US WHEN THEY RECEIVE THEM. CALLED DEALERSHIP AFTER RECEIVING ADDITIONAL SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER 2015. THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR/REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THEY'LL NOTIFY US WHEN THEY RECEIVE THEM. WHY ARE THERE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE WHEN THEY KNOW THERE IS A PRESENT DANGER TO THE DRIVERS LIVES? WHY SEND OUT NOTICES IF THERE IS NO RESOLUTION TO THE THREAT? DOES NO ONE CARE ABOUT SAVING DRIVERS LIVES?
