TAKATA RECALL. WHEN I HAD THE FIRST RECALL THEY REPLACED THE AIR BAG AND WHEN THEY DID NOW THE TURN SIGNALS WILL NOT TURN OFF BY THEMSELVES AND THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A POPPING NOISE WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MAKING A TURN.I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY DID WHEN THEY REPLACED THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG BUT THAT IS THE TROUBLE I AM HAVING WITH MY MAGNUM NOW AND YOU WANT ME TO LET THEM DO IT AGAIN. THEY NEED TO REPAIR THE FIRST MISTAKE FIRST BUT IT IS MY ONLY WAY AROUND AND NO DEALER WILL LOAN OUT.

THIS IS MY SECOND MAGNUM, WITH ONLY 32,000 MILES . I CALLED TO HAVE MY CAR LOOKED AT AND FIXED THIS ONE HAS SAME ISSUES , BUT I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR EVERYTHING , HEMI ENGINES FROM 2005 TO 2007 ARE DROPPING VALVE SEATS AFTER 100,000 MILES I WANT MINE FIXED BEFORE IT HAPPENS TO ME AGAIN WE DEFINITELY NEED A RECALL ON THESE ENGINES

CAR HAS 137,000 MILES CAR WAS RUNNING GOOD , ALL MAINTENANCE DONE, PARKED CAR , SHUT IT OFF , IN ABOUT 10 SECONDS STARTED BACK UP AGAIN , AND IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE WAS BANGING ON THE INSIDE OF MY HOOD , STARTED BACK FIRING THEN IT WENT DEAD WOULD NEVER START AGAIN , MANFREDI DODGE IN STATEN ISLAND TOLD ME I DROPPED A VALVE SEAT , AFTER 5 YRS I HEAR MORE AND MORE ABOUT THE SAME THING , AND DODGE DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ,BECAUSE THE CARS ARE OUT OF WARRANTEE , IT USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER 100,000 MILES , SO YES CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTEE , BUT BUYING THE CAR BRAND NEW AND SPENDING ALMOST $36,000 I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN MORE THEN 137,000 MILES OUT OF THAT CAR

THE VEHICLE WAS I NVOLVED IN A FRONT ON COLLISION AND THE DRIVER AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED. IT WAS TURNING LEFT ON TO A ONE LANE TWO WAY STREET. THE OTHER VEHICLE INVOLVED WHEN INTO THE INTERSECTION AND SHOULD HAVE WAITED, I WENT AS IT WAS

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM THAT I TAKE EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF. MY CAR HAS HAD ALL OF IT'S REGULAR MAINTENANCE. A MONTH AGO I STOPPED AT THE LUBE SHOP TO HAVE THE FLUIDS AND AIR PRESSURE CHECKED ON MY CAR BEFORE I HEADED OUT OF TOWN. THE ONLY FLUID THAT WAS TOPPED OFF WAS MY WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID. WHEN I TRIED TO START MY CAR TO LEAVE, IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO DODGE. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS INFORMED BY MY SERVICE WRITER THAT I NEEDED A NEW MOTOR. DODGE TOLD ME THAT I DROPPED A #4 VALVE SEAT. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS "REALLY, REALLY, REALLY RARE" AND THAT ONLY ABOUT "1 IN A BILLION" THIS HAPPENS TO. I AM CRUSHED. I WENT HOME AND HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IN DEPTH. THIS IS NOT RARE LIKE DODGE CLAIMS. I HAVE COME ACROSS 100'S OF OTHER DODGE OWNERS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WHO ARE NOW LEFT HOLDING THE BAG. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. MOST OF THE VEHICLES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ARE ALREADY OUT OF WARRANTY. DODGE IS AWARE OF THE FAULTY VALVE SEATS THAT ARE BASICALLY (FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM) GLUED IN. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THIS IS GOING TO OCCUR. MY CAR NEVER GOT HOT, NEVER SMOKED, NEVER BURNED OIL, NEVER HESITATED, NEVER RAN ROUGH; IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN A CAR IS BEING STARTED AND THAT IS WHY IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED, BECAUSE IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A "SAFETY" ISSUE. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THE NEW MODELS HAVE THE VALVE SEATS PRESSED AND PINNED IN SO THIS ISSUE DOESN'T CONTINUE TO OCCUR. RECOGNIZING THAT THERE WAS A FLAW IN THE HEMI MOTOR AND RE-ENGINEERING IT TO FIX THE ISSUE IS ADMITTING THERE WAS A DEFECT. DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL THE 2005-2007 HEMI MOTORS AND ADDRESS THE DROPPING VALVE SEATS. THIS IS NOT FAIR AND DODGE KNOWS IT.
