Turned car off at gas pump to get gas. After fueling car the car would not start. Could not take car out of park. Turning the fob/key did nothing. Car was towed to dealership/garage who informed me there is a recall on a defective ignition but parts were not available to fix car. Car started for garage earlier but would not start again to take it home. After many tries I finally got car started to return it home on July 5, 2015. Car is currently sitting in driveway & will not start again. I am unable to drive to buy groceries or make doctor appointments.

This is a police package 2008 Dodge Magnum. We have a fleet of them. All have the same issue. While operating the vehicle the officers experience a system shut down. The systems include but are not limited to all dash warning indicators come on suddenly, the alarm system indicator illuminates and begins to flash every second, gauges go to zero, the transmission down shift to 1st gear, power reduction kicks in, if the officer place the vehicle in park it will not come out of park, it becomes locked. Also the if the officer shuts the vehicle off it will not start and the security system warning light blinks every second. Only after pulling fuse 11 turning the key on and then off reinstalling the fuse will the car start. And maybe go into gear. The last time this has happened 3 weeks ago the officer had a perp in the back seat and the car stalled out on him. He got out of the car to open the hood and his keys were left inside. The locked itself down, and the doors locked automatically. The person in back became trapped for an hour until I was able to by pass the locks with a spare key. The local dealer has charged us an exorbitant amount of money to change several modules, recalibrate, and test for the failure. Nothing has been circumvented to prevent this from happening. Our police department has parked these vehicle due to this safety issue. The question remains, is there something wrong with the can bus system? or will a simple key switch fix the issue? if so why not install a later model key switch that performs correctly?.

There is a recall p57 and the vehicle will not start. Took it to the dealer but the part is not available. They have indicated that we would have to pay to have the car fixed at $800 and when the manufacture has the part available they would reimburse us the cost. We do not have $800 and since they know it is a recall the manufacture should pay up front.

I have not fixed any of the problems yet. I have a 2008 Dodge Magnum. The tail lights don't work at all. I've almost been rear-ended at night several times. The cruise control quit working. The car jerks very badly going into 3rd gear from 2nd. The car will not crank once every two days or so. The car cuts off at interstate speeds and when I'm not prepared it almost runs me off the road. The gauges cut all the way off while driving once every weeks. The check engine light stays on even though I've reset the computer several times. The front axle pops really bad when going around curves once or twice a month. The interior lights go dim for no reason on occasion. I've checked all fuses and relays and there is no problem. The dealership says that they've never had problems with this car although there are extreme amounts of internet forums talking about the problems with this car. This is only one site that has the problems. . Read more...
