2006 DODGE MAGNUM Complaints

FILLED TANK WITH FUEL CAR STALLED AFTER STATING AND SITTING AT LIGHT . THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED THE LAST THREE TIMES I HAVE FILLED UP. *TR

THE CAR STALLS AT STOP LIGHTS MOSTLY BUT HAS RECENTLY STARTED STALLING ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

MY 2006 DODGE MAGNUM HAS BEEN A GREAT CAR. UNTIL YESTERDAY. I HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE EARLIER IN THE DAY WITHOUT PROBLEMS. WENT OUT TO MY CAR AFTER WORK, STARTED RIGHT UP AS USUAL - BUT WOULD NOT GO OUT OF PARK. AFTER GOOGLING THE PROBLEM, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM ON BOTH DODGE AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THERE IS A WORK AROUND, BUT AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS ITEM IS NOT FOUND ON ANY RECALL LISTS. WHILE THIS IS NOT TECHNICALLY A "SAFETY" ISSUE, IT IS A VERY FRUSTRATING PROBLEM. BASED ON THE SHEER NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO SEEM TO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM - A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED!!!! *TR

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MAY 2014. AT TIME OF PURCHASE ALL 4 WHEELS WERE SHOWING OBVIOUS SIGNS OF SIGNIFICANT CORROSION AROUND THE CENTER CAP, LUG NUT AREA AND ALONG THE BEAD OF THE RIM. ALL TIRES MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION. I JUST RECENTLY ATTENDED AN ALL CHRYSLER CAR SHOW AND WHILE ADMIRING OTHER MAGNUMS ON DISPLAY I NOTICED SEVERAL OF THEM HAD THE SAME CORROSION IN THE SAME LOCATIONS AS MINE. I AM NOT A METALLURGIST AND DO NOT KNOW IF THIS CONDITION WILL, OR HAS, AFFECTED THE INTEGRITY OF THE ALLOY MATERIAL USED IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THESE RIMS BUT IT SEEMS TO ME, IF THIS PROBLEM IS LEFT UNADDRESSED IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING MAJOR ISSUE WITH MY MAGNUM STALLING. IT STALLS AFTER I FILL UP ON GAS, IF I DRIVE ALOT DURING THE DAY IT STALLS ALOT AT NIGHT,AND IT HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS. I HAVE BEEN STUCK AT MAJOR INTERSECTIONS FREEWAYS, FREEWAY ENTRANCES AND EXITS. ITS NOT A GREAT FEELING FEARING EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE ESPECIALLY THE WAY PEOPLE DRIVE IN LOS ANGELES. THIS IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL AND I HAVE NO OPTION BUT TO DRIVE IT. I AM AFRAID OF GETTING IN A DEADLY ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE PLEASE HELP. *TR

HELLO JUST THE OTHER DAY I NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON.THE ONE ON THE CLUSTER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE.I TRIED RESETTING IT WORKS FOR A MINUTE AND IT POPS BACK ON.DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE WEB AND IT STATED THAT I WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 05 MAGNUM. IF THAT'S THE REASON HOW COME THEY DIDN'T RECALL THE VEHICLES.BIG MISTAKE IF THE LIGHTS ON GUESS WHAT GET IN A CRASH AIRBAG WON'T WORK.THAT CAN BE REAL BAD LIKE A LIFE BEING LOST AND WE DON'T NEED THAT AT ALL. *TR

THE ENGINE STALLS RANDOMLY AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. THIS WILL OFTEN OCCUR SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR IT WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR AND BE STUCK IN NEUTRAL. THE PROBLEM WILL ALSO OCCUR AT SPEED, DYING CAUSING A SMALL DECELERATION AND THEN STARTING AGAIN ON ITS OWN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE DRIVER BEHIND YOU HAS NO INDICATION THAT YOU ARE STALLED AND STOPPING UNEXPECTEDLY. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, UPON DRIVING THE CAR WILL DIE. AT APPROXIMATELY 5MPH THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY DIE AND WILL NOT RESPOND. CAR WILL NOT START UNTIL AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF SITTING. NO CEL LIGHTS OR CODES THROWN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, WITHOUT WARNING THE FOLLOWING WILL HAPPEN SIMULTANEOUSLY: DASHBOARD GAUGES DROP TO ZERO (MPH,GAS LEVEL,TEMP,RPM), THE IDIOT LIGHTS ALL COME ON AND IF THE HEAT (BLOWER) IS ON IT WILL STOP OPERATING AND HEATED SEATS TURN OFF. THIS LASTS FOR 2 SECONDS AND THEN EVERYTHING RESETS EXCEPT THE HEATED SEATS WHICH YOU HAVE TO TURN ON AGAIN. THIS CAN HAPPEN ONCE OR SEVERAL TIMES IN RAPID SUCCESSION. I HAVE HAD THIS OCCUR WINTER, SPRING SUMMER AND FALL. I THINK IT'S A COMPUTER PROBLEM AS SOMETHING CONTROLS ALL THESE FUNCTIONS. *TR

AFTER FILING THE FUEL TANK, THE ENGINE WILL SPUTTER AND STALL. WHEN IT FIRST BEGAN TO HAPPEN TO ME, IT SEEMED LIKE I WAS GETTING BAD GAS. NOW I KNOW THAT THIS OCCURS PRIMARILY AFTER I MAKE A LEFT TURN AND IS DUE TO A PART THAT IS INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. THE PART FAILS AND THE RESULT IS THIS PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE STALLING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH OLDER MAGNUMS, CHARGERS, AND CHRYSLER 300'S. IT IS DANGEROUS!! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BE ON INTERSTATE 95 AND JUST WHEN I GOT INTO THE TRAVEL LANE THE ENGINE DIED. I THINK THE LEFT TURN I MADE WAS A FEW MILE BEFORE I GOT TO THE ENTRANCE RAMP AND IT CAUGHT ME OFF-GUARD. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER AND GET ONTO THE SHOULDER. THIS IS A DESIGN FAILURE AND IS NOT NORMAL WEAR & TEAR. ALL OF THE OLDER CARS MENTIONED HERE CAN BE AFFECTED. I ASSUME YOU HAVE RECEIVED PRIOR COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. DODGE IS NO HELP, BUT SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THANKS. *JS
