I have an 05 SXT Magnum that I bought at the end of 04. Sometimes the shift lever will not budge out of park even though the car is running and my foot is on the brake. Even after pumping the brake numerous times it still will not go out of park, sometimes for a minute or more. I even have to physically force the shifter it into drive at times with heavy resistance. Best way to describe the effect is if you tried to take the car out of park without stepping on the brake. It is very spurratic and will do it every time one day and then not again for a couple days, even weeks. Every time I take it to the mechanic they can't fix it because it just so happens to work when there. I hope someone else has had this problem and knows what it is so the dealership can fix it.

Based on what you said, it sounds like a shift interlock cable issue. Do they ever inspect the components, or just say "its working now." If they havent checked it out, either find a better shop, or stamp your feet and insist on the work being acomplished.
