general problems of the 2005 Dodge Magnum

I made a report a couple of days ago, I think I put it in wrong. My problem is engine stalling while I am driving, I was informed that Chrysler extended the warranty on its gas tank , indefinitely. They say the float sticks and causes the car to stall.

When I am driving car, it will stall while I am going 55 mph. Very dangerous. Happened repeatedly.

Air bag red light is on.

The gear shift is stuck in park and there was no warning on the display no check engine light.

Car was stuck in park, cannot shift into gear from parking at all. The car was stationary in park, went to shift from park to drive and could not. There is a recall for this but not for my VIN number. Please help get this fixed. Thank you.

Power to dash turns of while driving and comes back, loss of lights signals.

The shift controller is stuck in park. This is not a new issue for the manufacturer. The mechanic ordered part which should have been here 3 weeks ago and now they say Nov/Dec. The warranty CO tried to get the part and it came back saying January 2019. So, everyone's request is going to dealership and they are given a bogus date. Another car (Chrysler) has been sitting for a month due to the same problem. This is ridiculous. The car should be recalled because you cannot move it. It is a problem with getting it towed as well. Something is seriously wrong that these parts are not being recalled after being witness to the number of people this has happened to. Its a disgrace!.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Dodge Magnum. The contact stated while driving, the vehicle transmission would not stay in park. The check engine light illuminated during the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic how diagnosis the vehicle as a failed transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer: champion Chrysler Jeep Dodge 9655 firestone blvd, downey, CA 90241 was contacted and told the contact to bring the vehicle in for diagnosis. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage 186,000. Hk.

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.

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!!.

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. .

I am the second owner. The car is used very little. The first time I filled it up , not over fill the car started stalling out. It is an issue when all the power steering is not working and it stalls at low speed. The second time it did it I spent over 700. 00 dollars to check everything out. Car has 69000 miles. It's still stalling after I fill up. I called and my car is not covered under a Feb. 19,2014 recall. Same problem that started the recall. Owners are having the same problems. Happens at low speed and when turning after a fill-up. I will not let my wife drive this car, too dangerous.

The ignition switch is no good iam parked on city street.

Takata recall. When I had the first recall they replaced the air bag and when they did now the turn signals will not turn off by themselves and the steering wheel makes a popping noise when driving down the road and making a turn. I have no idea what they did when they replaced the drivers side air bag but that is the trouble I am having with my Magnum now and you want me to let them do it again. They need to repair the first mistake first but it is my only way around and no dealer will loan out.

I believe my cars has a problem with the gas tank. On Friday September 11 2015, we drove the car and it had gas at the time, suddenly the car just turned off on the street. On my gas meter or gage is always reading it on empty when it has fuel. It's also smelling like gasoline now. We bought the car from a used car dealer and it's still being financed. How can I know if it's a manufacture problem, I did some research and it happened to say that this gas problem happens to the Dodge Magnum 2005-2006, if it's a manufacture problem do I call the Dodge dealer and will it be fixed by them. I have two children, I can't drive a vehicle that is not safe. What options do I have. The vehicle also has an air bag recall, which the dealer has not fixed because they don't have the parts it's been over 3 weeks since we received the safety recall notice by mail.

A driver suddenly stopped in front of while I was moving resulting of me hitting her in the back. Front of my car is totaled. The shock was violent but the airbag never deployed. Thank god I was not greatly hurt.

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.

After filling up with fuel the car has a tendency to stall at intersections or stop and turns. Also will surge or loose power at highway speeds. Usually only last for 0-15 miles or so and then goes away until next fill up. I believe this fault is due to a fuel tank issue, that when filled causes fuel to be shut off to engine. Possibility for being rear ended are very great with this kind of problem. Especially in high traffic areas.

My 2005 Dodge Magnum r/t burned through the unibody frame rails directly adjacent to the catalytic converters. This caused the frame to develop rust perforations. Damage is the same on both sides of the car, concentrated where the exhaust manifolds meet the catalytic converters. This is a difficult area to see, let alone inspect due to tight confines and heat from the exhaust system. It was found while changing the oil dipstick tube. The rest of the car is exceptionally clean and has never been undercoated, in an accident or winter driven. Numerous technicians looked at the problem at Chrysler and independent garages. All of them agreed the problem was caused by heat from the catalytic converters burning away the factory rust protection and then accelerating rusting of this structural area. The Chrysler dealer bodyshop quoted over $8000 to replace the rotted frame rails, mostly labor because they would have to remove the engine, transmission, exhaust, front subframe and much of the interior. The Chrysler dealer service manager sent in a report to his district service rep. I also filed a report with Chrysler customer care, case file number 25844173. They informed me that since the problem was not chronic with Magnums and the car was past its 3-year rust perforation warranty they would not repair the car or help with repair costs. This is a major structural defect with the frame of the car, not a mere rust hole in a body panel! I suspect the problem may be found in other Chrysler lx-body models of 2005 model year. Out of concern for the safety of these vehicles I walked around a local junkyard and found a 2005 model Chrysler 300 starting to show corrosion problems in the same frame areas adjacent to the catalytic converters. I have been documenting and photographing all of this.

The rear hatch does not stay up when lifted. At times the hatch falls without warning and has hit me in the head several times. This is an injury waiting to happen and should be fixed by the manufacturer.

I have a 2005 Dodge Magnum on sept 1st 2014 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 napa auto care to get it looked at, after almost having someone rear end me in the middle of an intersection. . . . They said it was the throttle body, they replaced it and I paid $304, the next morning I go to get in my car and the light comes back on and same problem happens, I take it back to napa 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 $381. 00, guess what next day it leaves me in the middle of a very busy highway, won't even stay cranked at this point I have it toad back to napa demand them to put all my old parts back in and I'll take it to Dodge dealership. Now Dodge has my car and they replace a silonoied-throttle body , I pay them $476. 00 after telling them the hole story they still replae 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, the manager keeps my car over night just to make sure, and low and behold the car breaks down on him, now Dodge is calling the manufacture waiting on a call back from them, they have no idea what is wrong with my car , and now I've been without my car since sept 2nd 2014. . . . I am not sure if this is helping but I don't want another car I just want mine fixed, and it doesn't seem like anyone can find out or figure out what is going on. . . . Very frustrating I wish someone could help me. . . .

Attempted to drive vehicle, could not get shifter out of park. . . Completely stuck. Looked on the internet only to find thousands of others with same issue. I . Called dealer for apt, they knew right away what the problem was. . . Apparently an issue with Dodge challenger, Magnum and Chrysler 300. Totally unacceptable that I had to pay 378. 00 at the dealer for a known issue. . . The pink thingy it is called. A plastic piece that breaks. . . This should be a recall, I could have been stranded who knows where. . . And the advise on the internet as self repair is scary and potentially dangerous.

The transmission (gear shift) was stuck in park. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and I, as owner was notified that there was no recall on my year of vehicle. There was a recall on years 2008-2010. Then I had to pay $287. 00 for labor costs and $12. 97 for the part. $301. 01 total. I strongly feel I should be reimbursed. Please contact me as soon as possible to resolve this matter. I am an elderly woman and I live on a fixed income. I feel this matter should fall under the recall for safety purposes.

Transmission shift interlock lever locked in park. Cannot be shifted uunder any conditon. Failure disables vehicle and cannot be overridden.

When slowing down car shuts off.

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.

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.

Vehicle ignition will randomly shut off vehicle especially when taking a corner car goes completely dead can be restarted by shifting into neutral and using ignition sw. And may not do this for a few days but repeats this at random sometimes 3-4 times in a row in a 20 min period very dangerous when on the highway going 70 mph !!! bought this new. . . . . No other owners 386-736-5773.

2005 Dodge Magnum sxt awd filled vehicle with 89 octane gas from speedway on several occasions car would stall upon leaving the parking area to enter into traffic and then would restart after several attempts.

Car stalled (loss of power) after having refueled (to full). Occurred multiple times until we determined that fueling to 3/4 full resulted in no stalling. Stalling occurred within 1/4 mile of driving away from fueling location - often in traffic!.

Crowhopping is the term used by most websites google crowhopping Magnum rt awd tells it all on multiple websites with multiple customers. . Dodge has seem to term a blind ear to this year model that seems to have the same as another year with the issue. Contacted dealer main office. . . And they said they never heard of this no surprise.
