2005 DODGE MAGNUM Complaints

2005 DODGE MAGNUM R/T HAS DEVELOPED A HUGE FUEL LEAK BEHIND THE TANK AT THE JUNCTION OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE; EVIDENTLY THE HOT PLASTIC SEAL AROUND THE FILLER TUBE IS FAILING AND IS GOING TO COST ME $1100.00 TO FIX. I HAVE NEVER HAD A FUEL TANK FAIL AND AM %&:?# TICKED OFF. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW FUEL TANK AFTER ONLY 100,000 MILES. I HAVE A BUICK WITH WELL OVER 532,000 MILES WITH NOT A SINGLE FUEL TANK ISSUE. TO ME THIS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT NOBODY HAS PICKED UP ON. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY COASTED TO THE RIGHT. THE CONSTANT COASTING TO THE RIGHT WORE ON THE TIRES. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,100 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

THE BACK HATCH CLOSES SUDDENLY IN COLD WEATHER. IT HIT ME IN THE HEAD AND CAUSED A CONTUSION AND A GREAT DEAL OF PAIN. *TR

SHIFT INTERLOCK SYSTEM THE FACTORY LOCK OUT MECHANISM IS KNOWN WEAKNESS OF 2005 TO 2007 TRANSMISSIONS ON DODGE AND CHRYSLER CARS THE MOST COMMON SYMPTOM OF THIS FACTORY FAILURE IS THE VEHICLE NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OUT OF PARK WHEN YOU ENGAGE YOUR TRANSMISSION. DUE TO A PLASTIC PART A.K.A. (PINK LITTLE CLIP) AND A $0.50 SPRING THE GUY FROM THE TOW TRUCK COMPANY TOLD ME THAT HE TOWS AT LEAST 1 OR 2 CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM EVERY DAY. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS IS TO REPLACE THE GEAR SHIFTER... $450 I BOUGHT HE EXTENDED GUARANTEE FROM DODGE TO COVER MY CAR FOR 5 YEARS OR $100,000 MILES BUT OF COURSE THAT PART IS NOT COVERED AND EVEN IF IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, I WILL GET ANOTHER SHIFTER THAT WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL DUE TO POOR ENGINEERING LOOKS TO ME LIKE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL BY NOW. *TR

OUR 2005 DODGE MAGNUM FREQUENTLY STALLS WHEN MOVING AT SLOW SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS OVER A YEAR AGO, AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY, 10-15 MINUTES DRIVING AT AROUND 60, PROCEEDING APROX 2 MILES TO A STOPLIGHT WHICH WENT FROM RED TO GREEN, WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR STALLED. SINCE THEN STALLS HAVE HAPPENED AFTER STOPPING AT INTERSECTIONS, THEN PULLING FORWARD AND MAKING A TURN ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT THE CAR HAS STALLED MID TURN (VERY FREQUENT) OR EVEN DRIVING THROUGH THE SLOW ZONE AT THE AIRPORT (5MPH)...WE ARE BECOMING SO ACCUSTOMED THAT WE KNOWN TO QUICKLY PUT IN INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE CAR AS IT CONTINUES FORWARD BUT LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING MAKES THE EXPERIENCE MORE THAN A BIT NERVE RACKING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY BOX WAS TAKEN APART AND REASSEMBLED. THE FAILURE DID NOT RECUR. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

MY ENGINE WENT OUT ON MY 2005 DODGE MAGNUM AND I DID ALL THE PROPER OIL CHANGES AND CAN PRODUCE RECEIPTS. IT JUST STARTED MAKING NOISE THEN STOPPED.DODGE SAID MY WARRANTY WAS UP A 60,000 AND I AM AT 63,000. AND I AM STILL PAYING A CAR NOTE. MY ENGINE IS A 2.7L. *TR

2005 DODGE MAGNUM WITH SHIFTING PROBLEM WILL NOT RELEASE FROM PARK POSITION. *TR

THERE IS A OBVIOUS DEFECTIVE PART REGARDING THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY ON DODGE MAGNUMS,CHRYSLER 300'S & DODGE CHARGERS. A PLASTIC GEARPIECE ON THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY IS KNOWN BY SERVICE ADVISORS AT DODGE & TOW TRUCK OPERATORS THAT BRING IN SEVERAL CARS TO DODGE DEALERSHIPS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ISSUE IS ONCE THIS FLIMSY PIECE OF PLASTIC IS BROKEN, IT PREVENTS THE VEHICLE FROM SHIFTING INTO ANY GEAR. THE REPAIR TO FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE IS ABOUT $500.00 DOLLARS AT A DODGE DEALERSHIP. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO MAKE DODGE BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS VEHICLES. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE MAGNUM WILL SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THIS WAS FOUND AFTER PARKING IT AT HOME AND TRYING TO LEAVE FOR WORK. WAS TOLD THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND DODGE HAS NO RECALL FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. I HAD TO PAY OVER $450 TO HAVE CAR REPAIRED OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. DODGE CALLS THIS A SAFETY INTERLOCK PROBLEM. A PLASTIC PINK PIECE THAT BREAKS AND YOU HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE SHIFTER NOT JUST THE 29 CENT PIECE OF PLASTIC. *TR
