Usually a problem with the brake pedal switch or the park lock solenoid. You would need to check the two components for power.

Sounds like the speed sensor on the rear axle.

SOURCE: dodge magnum gear shift

I had the same problem. The interlock was not the problem. I had the shifter replaced (at my own expense because drive train warranty would not cover). After examining the old shifter discovered source of problem is a plastic cam on the front of ths shifter. A tiny PLASTIC ear which connects to a small spring had broken off. I repaired this by putting in a small screw where the ear had been. Incidentally, my tow truck driver had also seen the same problem on several Chrysler 300s. In my estimation this is a poor design on Chrysler's part.

If it does the same thing with other CD's then the mechanism inside the radio will need repaired. The dealer can send it out to be repaired or you might ask if the have a "take out" unit of the same model when another cuatomer may have upgraded their system.

Why does my 2005 dodge ram 1500 3.7 liter only goes up to 4000 rpm when i reve it up and it starts to sputter when in park?

its the rev limiter. its suppose to do that when the engine has no load or the vehicle is stationary so you don't break the engine. now when your moving and it happens check fuel filter, fuel pump, air filter,etc.

2003 dodge ram 1500 quad cab will not shift out of park

There is what is called a shift interlock mechanism. It is suppose to keep you from putting it into gear withut putting your foot on the break.

Do a quick test. See if your brake lights come on when you press the brake peddle. If they do, you will have to go into the wireing of the brake switch and see if power is coming out of the switch to the interlock solenoid. If power is going to the solenoid, then you have a bad solenoid.

Hope this helps.
