2005 DODGE MAGNUM Complaints

RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP THE CAR STALLS MORE THAN ONCE. TODAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION THEN ON THE ENTRY TO THE HIGHWAY. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE 200,000+ COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET AND LOS ANGELES TIMES HAS MADE A REPORT ABOUT THIS. WE NEED A RECALL BEFORE SOME DIES. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE CAR WITH GAS IT HESITATES AND STALLS IMMEDIATELY AFTER I PULL AWAY FROM THE PUMP. IF I DO NOT FILL UP - IT NEVER HAPPENS. AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP - I HAVE BEEN TOLD I NEED A NEW EVAPORATION CANISTER AND FUEL TANK AS RECOMMENDED BY CHRYSLER. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THE ISSUE APPEARS OVER MULTIPLE DODGE/ CHRYSLER MODELS. YET THERE SEEMS THERE IS NO RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE. ORIGINAL OWNER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A CLICKING NOISE AND SEIZED WHILE COMPLETING A TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE STEERING CLOCK SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

CAR DIES AFTER FILL UP.THEY SAY ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE FUEL TANK. I FEEL DODGE SHOULD REPLACE AS WARRANTY WORK BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.. DODGE KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AND IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE CAR STALLS I FEEL THEY ARE LIABLE. *JS

WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR SHUTS DOWN. THIS FIRST OCCURRED AT A RED LIGHT. THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE KEY AND RESTART IT WITHOUT PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE AT A STOP, WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, IN TOWN DRIVING, HIGHWAY DRIVING, WHEN IT'S HOT OUTSIDE, WHEN IT'S COOL OUTSIDE, WHEN IDLING. THERE ARE NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS (ENGINE, OIL, ETC). THERE ARE NO SOUNDS, NO SHUDDERING, NO KICKING. MY ONLY INDICATION THAT THE CAR HAS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF IS THAT THE TACH NEEDLE GOES IMMEDIATELY TO ZERO. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO USE THE MOMENTUM OF THE VEHICLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AT WHICH TIME I TURN THE KEY TO OFF, WAIT A MOMENT, AND TURN IT BACK ON. IT RESTARTS WITHOUT PROBLEMS. IF I TRY TO RESTART TOO QUICKLY, THERE SEEMS TO BE A HESITATION IN STARTING. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR MANY PARTS ON THE VEHICLE BUT IT HAS NOT CURED THE PROBLEM.*JB

ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO DESIGN FLAW ALLOWING OIL AND COOLANT TO LEAK INTO CYLINDER, BLOWING THE ENGINE. HAD A TOTAL ENGINE REBUILD, COSTING 4000.00. HAPPENED 5 MONTHS LATER, NEEDED VALVE SPRINGS AND HEAD DONE AGAIN, ANOTHER 1000.00. ENGINE LIGHT NEVER GOES OUT, NO INSPECTION STICKER, NUMBER 1 CYLINDER HAS EATEN 2 CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, AND ALWAYS PUTTING OIL IN. NO LONG DISTANCES, JUST LOCAL DRIVING. *TR

MOVING AT VERY SLOW SPEED, ENGINE STALLS. COME TO STOP - PUT IN PARK AND THEN RESTART. RESTARTS ON FIRST TRY, HOWEVER, THERE IS A NOTABLE 'SOUND' UPON IGNITION - ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE A 'POP' OR 'RELEASE'. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROX TEN TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. NOTHING IS SO CONSISTENT WITH EACH SITUATION THAT CAN CONCLUSIVELY SAY WHAT/IF THE CAUSE IS. LUCKILY HAS NOT OCCURRED YET ON HIGHWAY, ETC. *TR
