general problems of the 2005 Dodge Magnum

The vehicle stalled during normal use traveling about 35 miles an hour right after an intersection. My husband was able to safely make it off the road as we live in a small town he did this by feathering the accelerator pedal. He is a mechanic so he was able to get it home by lightly tapping the pedal. If he pressed the pedal too hard the car stalled without warning so he lightly tapped on it and made it 2 blocks to our home where it has set in the driveway ever since. We spent over $1000 replacing parts such as the throttle body and the fuel pump and sending unit, egr, pcv, crankshaft sensor, plugs,injectors, intake seals, air intake temperature sensor and throttle body which include the throttle position sensor. Before we went for the cam sensor I decided to look up the issue and found so many with the same problem as us. We are veterans on a semi fixed income with a 10 month old daughter and this is our only vehicle we live in a super hot place in northern arizona and can not afford further repairs as every part seems to be quite expensive. I don't have the fear of it dying while transporting my daughter again as it won't even stay started since the first incident. Additionally there are no codes or dash indicator lights staying on. We will be contacting Dodge in kingman arizona today.

I was braking when the brakes didn't stop the tires and it slid into a curve.

When vehicle has been filled up with gas it will intermittently die until it has around 50 miles on it. Usually sputters and dies without warning leaving you with no steering or brakes. Will restart but die until some fuel is ran out. I have scheduled to have the gas tank replaced but the fee is around $150.

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Magnum. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled after refueling. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the local dealer nor an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the issue to an unknown recall. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 98,478.

After fueling at a gas station and only fueling until the pump shuts off, the engine dies about a block away. This happens every time the vehicle gets a full tank of gas.

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. .

Alternator catch fire while driving no other problems good battery good everything.

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.

Vavle seat recall.

When pulling into driveway. My motor which up until this point has given me no problems started to violently shake and cut off. Went to start the car and got a loud clanging in motor which has been determined to be a dropped valve seat.

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.

I have a 2005 Dodge Magnum as I was driving home the etc light came on the dash board, then moments later my car just died, shut completely down, I let it sit for a little bit then cranked it back up, but it kept shutting down with the etc light continuing to come on , I then took it to auto care to get it looked at, . . . . They said it was the throttle body, they replaced it and I paid $168, the next morning I go to get in my car and the light comes back on and same problem happens they now say they must of gotten a faulty throttle body, changed it out again, next morning same thing happens, now they replace the main computer take it to Dodge get the computer reprogrammed and I pay $267. 00, guess what next day it does it again. Now Dodge has my car and they replace a solenoid-throttle body , I pay them $476. 00 after telling them the hole story they still replace the throttle body. Guess what the next morning I have my car towed back to Dodge dealership, doing the same thing. . . . They now replace the board and say it might be a wiring problem but they think they got it, they have no idea what is wrong with my car . Very frustrating I wish someone could help me. . Okay now I started to poke around myself at home and found that one of the four wire harnesses to the coumuter is to blame. I push on it and the car goes into limp mode. I now have an appointment to have a dealer fix it. I don't want to start only to find I can't buy the wire terminators needed in the plug.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Dodge Magnum. The contact stated that the headlamps interior dash warning were intermittently fluctuating. In addition the check engine warning indicator had illuminated.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact approximate vehicle failure mileage was 95,000. Kh.

While driving down the highway or sitting in park, the bas light on the dash will come on, when it does this the engine goes to 800 rpm idle and the transmission goes into neutral, rendering of the vehicle in capable of driving until the vehicle comes to a complete stop, is placed in park, ignition shut off and restarted. Then you can operate the vehicle again until the next time it does this, which may be one minute or a week. This is extremely dangerous as it is happening to me going down the highway a couple of times, at which time I have to pull over to the shoulder shut the vehicle off restart the vehicle and then try to pull away. Twice I've almost been hit by semi tractor-trailers as the vehicle is coasting with no power. Please help me, I am in fear for my life if I drive this vehicle.

Value sets.

2005 Dodge rt Magnum: right after full-up the car start jerking like if it was trying to cut off, but then smoothed back to normal operation and then started again jerking like if the car was trying to cut off and trying to stay started. After about 10 miles the car running without a problem again.

Driving a car that stops running with no warning is very dangerous. I can not believe there is not a recall for this problem.

Dropped drop valve seats.

Went out to start the car on 11/7/13 and could not get the shift out of park. Called the Dodge dealer and he knew exactly what was wrong. Called a tow truck and the owner said that he also knew what was wrong and that his small towing service had towed hundreds of Chrysler / Dodge cars with the same exact problem. I checked on the internet and found hundreds of complaints similar to my problem - cannot get out of park. I also called Chrysler customer service and was told that they knew of the problem, but that my particular vehicle was not covered - only certain VIN's are covered. If there are 100's of cars just in my small location, there must be 1000's, if not tens of thousands affected vehicles nation wide. I will also mention that the manual override for the shifter did not work, so my car had to be dragged onto the tow truck. I feel that this is not only a costly problem for car owners, but a safety issue as well. What if you put the car in park while you were in the middle of traffic and then could not move? I could list other situations as well - all safety issues. I would ask that a total recall of all vehicles effected be issued. Thanks.

Has cutoff at 10 - 25 - 40 -65 mph. Does it while slowing. Stopping or accelerating. Past made no diff if after fill up or 1/4 tank. No 'skips' couple miles after fill up. Dealership cannot find problem. 2005 Magnum r/t now 53,000 miles bought new garage kept. Seen many similar complaints- is there no assistance for a loyal Dodge customer??????????????.

After filling up at a gas station, I drove the car approximately 1/2 mile and the car stopped at a traffic light. This has happened to me probably a dozen times since March of this year. It does not happen after every fill up, probably every 4 times it happens.

The car started normally after sitting in a parking lot for 30 minutes. When the car was placed in reverse, the car lurched backwards and began accelerating on it's own. I quickly applied the brakes and stopped the car and put it in neutral but the engine continued to race from idle to 3000rpm. I repeatedly tried to restart the car and the same issue arose. Finally the car settled down and I was able to get it home. I took it to the dealer and was told the throttle body was bad and I replaced it. Same issue reappeared and I was then told it needed to be initialized to the new throttle body. The day after having the work done at the dealer the car began to accelerate on it's own in traffic. I contacted the dealer and was told there was a common problem with the pcm's in this particular car. I cannot believe that Chrysler has a car on the road that when the pcm fails, the car will accelerate on it's own. Chrysler says there is nothing they can do as it is out of warranty.

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.

If I fill my tank and I drive it away from the pump, it will stutter, hesitate, jerk, then die. I lose all power steering, breaks, engine. Afterwards, it won't immediately restart. It will start again after a few minutes. It won't start driving good again until I run the gas level down a little. After I fill, it will run ok until I make a turn or come to a stop, something that will slosh the fuel in the tank again then it will act like it is starved for fuel. This happens everytime I fill my tank. If I don't fill it completely then it will do it. It never did this when I first bought my car. One time after I this happened, I opened the gas cap and it was hissing and spitting gas just sitting there. This is a very dangerous situation as if this happened on the highway I could become involved in a collision. It has happened at least a half dozen time and have since not filled my tank up until today and it happened again.

Car engine quits running after startup following refueling, and several times thereafter, requiring that the engine be restarted each time. It occurs after each refueling. All operational control of the vehicle is lost when the engine quits. I consider this to be a great safety hazard.

Engine malfunction (blown engine).

I have a 2005 Dodge Magnum and on random occasions the check oil light will turn the car will ding then the engine will shut off but all of the electrical components will stay on and the brakes and power steering will not work so I almost rear ended some one yesterday. It has happened 3 times in less than 5 minutes one time and when it does occurs just as I am giving it just a small amount of gas.

2005 Dodge Magnum swt: both engine hood and rear hatch shock cylinders that hold the hood & hatch up have failed. Received hard "bump" on head from both areas when the hood & also the back hatch fell on me no comment when called dealer suggested I buy new shock cylinders for a 4 year old car !!!!???.

While slowing down to turn (3 times) and driving over dipps in the road with the cruise control set at 60mph rpms suddenly drop and engine goes dead without any warning lights or anything. The steering wheel becomes almost locked and vehicle cannot be controled. These incidents were reported to the dealership, diamond Dodge in bastrop, la and there only explanation for the problem that they acknowledged as existing was to flash the computer. The service technician said he thought it might solve the problem but wasn't sure. It did it again the very next day! my Magnum also pulls to the right and sometimes is a fight to keep on the road.
