2005 DODGE MAGNUM Complaints

AFTER MY AIRBAG RECALL, THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING ABOVE 20MPH. RETURNED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO FIND THAT IT WAS THE POWER CONTROL MODULE, THAT WOULD COST $1500 TO FIX. SOMETHINGS NOT RIGHT HERE..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (CERRITOS DODGE, 18803 STUDEBAKER RD, CERRITOS, CA 90703) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SRS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,001. *BF UPDATED 9/13/18*JB

WHEN FILLING UP MY VEHICLE THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, IT WILL SHUDDER AND THEN DIE ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL GO ON I WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT ONLY DOES IT WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK AND IF I AM STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR GOING UNDER 45MPH AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. IF IM GOING 60+ MILES IT WILL SPUTTER ACT LIKE IT IS GOING TO DIE BUT IT DOESN'T.

ALTERNATOR CATCH FIRE WHILE DRIVING NO OTHER PROBLEMS GOOD BATTERY GOOD EVERYTHING

I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE AFTER MY MAGNUM NEARLY KILLED ME (LITERALLY). THEY TOLD ME TO 'PAY FOR MY REPAIRS AND KEEP MY RECEIPT IN CASE OF A RECALL'. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND IT NEEDS ATTENTION. MY GAS PEDAL LITERALLY BROKE OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WAS STUCK WIDE OPEN. BY THAT I MEAN IT BROKE OFF COMPLETELY FROM THE ASSEMBLY THAT HOLDS THE PEDAL TO THE ACTUAL CAR ITSELF! THEN, AFTER I CONTACTED THEM TO BRING IT IN TO A SHOP, THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE, AND WHEN I GOT IT OUT OF DRIVE, IT WILL NOT MOVE FROM PARK!! I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS YEAR OF MAGNUM!!! IT IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE!!! THANK GOD I WAS AT HOME SO NO ONE ELSE WOULD HAVE BEEN HARMED AND I WAS ABLE TO THINK QUICKLY! I LITERALLY ALMOST CRASHED INTO TWO VERY LARGE CEMENT SILO'S! THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE!!! IT SHOULDN'T MATTER HOW MANY MILES (IT HAS 157K WHICH IS PRETTY LOW FOR THAT YEAR) I HAVE NEVER HAD A GAS PEDAL BREAK OFF NOR HAVE I EVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE I STARTED MY SEARCH!!

RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS CAR TOOK IT TO THE SHOP BECAUSE THE CAR WAS CUTTING OFF ON ITS OWN WHETHER PARKED OR IN DRIVE WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND IT CAME UP WITH A CODE FOR CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, GOT THAT CHANGED THE CODE WENT AWAY BUT THE CAR STILL TURNS OFF ON ITS OWN AND NO CODES SHOW UP. CRANKSHAFT HAS NOW BEEN CHANGED 2 TIMES&& THE ELECTRICAL THINGS WERE CHECKED JUST TO BE SAFE!&& A FEW DAYS AGO I WAS DRIVING MAYBE ABOUT 35MPH & THE CAR DECELERATED ON ITS OWN AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND MAKING RIGHT OR LEFT TURNS USING THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS, THE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS WOULD DIM UNTIL THE SIGNAL INDICATOR TURNED OFF. AFTERWARDS, THE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS WOULD ILLUMINATE AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RYAN AUTO MALL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (1000 HIGHWAY 55 E, BUFFALO, MN 55313, PHONE NUMBER: (763) 682-2424) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED IN THAT MANNER AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

IGNITION SWITCH KEEP GOING BAD I HAVE ASKED ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TOUCHED MAGNA AND ALL OF THE IGNITION SWITCH HAVE GONE BAD THEY NEED TO HAVE A RECALL ON THEM

TURN SIGNAL RETURN CLOCK SPRING BROKEN TENDS TO LOCK STEERING WHEN BROKEN ARE MOVED BY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL #2 PROBLEM: TRANSMISSION LOCKED IN THE PARK POSITION CAN'T GET TO MOVE INTO DRIVE SOCAR CAN BE DRIVEN I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM; WHY ARE THESE TWO THINGS NOT ON RECALL? BOTH ARE SAFETY RELATED..
