Electrical System Problems of Dodge Magnum - part 1

Vehicle purchased pre-owned/used sept. 7th 2022 from dealership. Had 3 open recalls which were addressed. Said recall in question is 14v567000 ignition switch problem. I have had vehicle back at dealer now 3 times for continued problem of ignition sticking in the start mode as it keeps turning over & you have to physically turn ignition off or cycle it to stop the sticking problem. Dealer has changed the ignition module 3 times & problem still exist. 3 modules in less than a year. I do understand that this is not a dealer problem as they are only the repair facility. I have called Chrysler corporation with the issue & they keep sending me back to the dealer. This is a faulty/defective part that falls completely on Chrysler & there engineering, design, development, testing, & production that is clearly not being done or accomplished. Safety issue clearly needs to be addressed at the highest level. I have seen many complaints concerning this recall that appear to not have been fixed from repeated failures. 1st attempted fix recall sept 2022, 2nd attempted fix, oct 2022, 3rd attempted fix Aug 2023. I have just taken said vehicle back to the dealer to hopefully address this issue again.

Our Dodge Magnum has flickering headlights as well as dash lights also flicker. We our currently unable to drive the vehicle safety at night. Dodge says it could be 2 potential problems,first try replacing the light switch which has been done. The problem still exist,next to replace the fcm [front control module]. The fcm is on back order with no release date avaliable. Ok so they said to replace the pcm which includes the fcm which is also not avaliable. The lighs only flicker when the vehicle is running and at night. Makes no difference when turning or speed. We have contacted multiple dealers an all have the same response. The dealers sugested we try a junk yard for a use fcm, but how can we be sure that solves the problem. The problem started around January 2018. We purchased the car new 2005. We feel this is a major safety issue that needs to be address ASAP. Please help us.

The car seems to be running fine one minute when I come up to the traffic light while it is in gear the engine shuts off the next problem is driving down the road the lights go off and on sometimes don't come back on for two or three minutes very annoying when you're driving at night with no headlights an oncoming traffic.

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. .

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!!.

I have a 2005 Dodge Magnum sxt. I have approximately 164,000. Miles on the car. For the past few months I have experienced starting problems. When I turn the key to start the car nothing will happen. By accident I pressed the lock/alarm set on my key while sitting in the car. So I unlocked the car (still sitting in it) and tried to re-start the car, and it started right up. I have experienced this at least 4 times now with more frequency and did the same thing to start the car. It has worked every time, but this is not something I want to rely on.
