1 Air Bag problem of the 2007 Dodge Magnum

Failure Date: 01/20/2026

Son drove my car and lost control as it sprung out of control and he hit a tree. No airbags deployed during that impact. My insurance company totaled my car out but really didn’t give a reason as to why they didn’t deploy with such a hard hit. Police impounded my car and insurance company inspected my car for a settlement. I asked them why and I said I had to take it up with the manufacturer. He walked away with miner cuts. That could have resulted in his death.

Air bag light was flashing and contact Dodge multiple times to inquire and fix recall however all I was offered was a gift card but no sort of transaction while vehicle was being fixed and was told I would receive follow up to make arrangements to get everything fixed however never had received any follow up and finally like I had told and showed the dealer probably the bag was going to deploy luckily I was the only person in the vehicle the passenger side airbag deployed and caused me to go off road into rail totaling vehicle it was no injuries or damages to any other property however vehicle was total loss and had a car person pick it up so I wouldn’t occur any cost leaving vehicle abandoned or in a storage facility when I contacted recall customer care for Dodge and told them what happened now their excuse is a investigation however before this incident they have had ample time and many opportunities to check the vehicle just to be pushed off with a bunch of excuses to not provide ample conversation for inconvenience and the losses accrued due to their faulty unsafe vehicle that could have cost someone life due to donor drive recall.

4 Air Bag problem of the 2005 Dodge Magnum

Failure Date: 03/01/2024

I have attempted to contact my local dealership several times to replace the airbags on this recall. They claimed months ago, stated “it’s on back order” and took my info claiming they’d contact me when the parts are in. They never contacted me. I keep attempting to make appointments with lithia Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram fiat of tri-cities 7171 w. Canal dr, kennewick wa recalls aren’t handled by a live person, just an automated message stating “we’ll get back to you soon” they don’t. I’ve been trying to get this replaced for a year. I would lien someone to contact Dodge or this dealership and ask them to stop hiding from mandatory recalls.

Airbag lights suddenly always on. Unknown if they are working or about to deploy. Hesitation in transmission while shifting, not sure if working properly. I haven't had any recalls fixed on this vehicle. It showed recalls and suddenly it shows all repaired. Is it due to the year?2005? seat belts don't retract and are have to be manually maneuvered.

7 Air Bag problem of the 2006 Dodge Magnum

Failure Date: 09/27/2021

The engine in my 2006 Dodge Magnum has begun stalling out after fueling precisely as described in NHTSA action number pe13016. The first time it happened I was in the middle of a u-turn at a busy intersection. The engine died and I lost power steering and power brakes. I was able to brute-force the steering wheel and narrowly avoided hopping the curb and hitting the light pole on the corner. This light pole might have just as easily been a pedestrian. I called my local Dodge dealer (ontario Dodge, ontario California) to explain the problem and arrange to bring the car in. I let them know that I was aware that this issue was addressed under NHTSA action number pe13016 and should be covered under the lifetime warranty extension. I was told by the service adviser that I am required to drop off my car and that it would be 7-10 days before they would look at it. I suggested that they put me on a list and I could bring my car in 7-10 days at a time when they were able to look at it. They were unwilling to do this. They're insisting that my car sit in their lot for 7-10 days before they will even look at it. This isn't a scheduling issue. I can go on their website today and schedule my car for any other service tomorrow. No, this is a punitive action. Clearly they don't want to do the repairs and they're hoping I'll just go away by making it unreasonably difficult; not to mention expensive considering that a rental car will now be required. Chrysler and their dealers are not acting in good faith with regards to their agreement with the NHTSA and pe13016. In my experience and opinion they're doing whatever they can to evade these repairs. I'm a little disappointed that a full recall wasn't ordered. The agreement the NHTSA made with Chrysler left them with a little too much wiggle room in my opinion.

After that we were told to get into our cars and pull over back into the parking lot to clear up the area. I got back into my vehicle and started to drive it.
