Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises Problems of Dodge Magnum

Dropped valve seat: after traveling about 800 miles from massachusetts to north carolina, without any indication of a problem, I got off the freeway and I stopped at a mcdonalds to use my cell phone and I turned off the car, after about 5 mins. I attempted to restart the car and it wouldn't start, then as the engaine turned over it began to make clunking sounds. I had the car towed to a near by Dodge dealer, where I was told that the engine failed, costing me $8,466. 33 to replace the engine because it was out of warranty. The car is well maintained and I have all the service records showing that this failer shouldn't had happened. Chrysler needs to own the flaw in 2005-2007 hemi 5. 7 engine and Chrysler needs to refund me the $8,465. 33 that I had to spend to buy a new engine.

I own a 2005 Dodge Magnum r/t with the 5. 7l hemi. I was driving from utah to missouri for work. Once I got to Lincoln, nebraska it was raining and out of no where my check engine light started to flash and my engine started to make a very bad knocking noise. I ended up having to get my car towed to a local mechanic where he found that a valve seal dropped in cylinder 6. There was absolutely no warning for this to happen. No small ticking noise from the valve hitting the seal, no water in the oil, no oil in the water, no metal flakes in the oil. From the knowledge of myself, my dad (12 year diesel mechanic), the mechanic that I had my car towed to who (has an a+ bbb rating and has been in business for over 14 years), and from the research I have done online a valve seat doesn't just drop out of no where without warning. From what I have seen online a lot of people have had major engine failure like this with the 2004-05 Dodge durango with the 5. 7l hemi as well. I am not 100% sure my issue is related, but what I do know is that this engine is now on back order through Chrysler and the dealer told me they couldn't order the engine from Chrysler and would have to order a new engine through a 3rd party company. I am the 2nd owner of my car and the previous owner and my self have both kept up on regular maintenance very well (oil changed every 3,000 miles). This engine needs to be investigated and recalled if this has happened to enough people for the engine to be on back order!.

On 12 Mar 11, I heard a clanking noise coming from my 2006 Dodge Magnum engine. I took the car in on mon, 14 Mar 11, to a repair shop an was told I needed a new engine. Before I could return the next day to drop the car off, the engine stopped. I had the car towed to a repair shop and was told the timing chain had broken and there was oil sludge build up. My Dodge has only 63k miles and preventive maintenance is performed every 3,000 miles. The car has not yet been repaired. I am seeking some sort of resolution with Dodge to correct this issue.

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Magnum. While driving approximately 30 mph, the steering wheel loosened and the interior lighting became very dim. On occasion, the contact smelled a burning odor inside the passenger compartment. There were no warning indicators prior to the failures because the warning light indicators have never worked since the vehicle was purchased. The vehicle would start roughly from time to time. When the contact depressed the brake pedal, the contact heard a loud noise underneath the vehicle. In addition, the vehicle shutters when proceeding to turn, the air conditioning unit is not working properly, and the transmission hesitates intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that the steering failure was related to the front suspension. The mechanic replaced two control arms and tie rods. A diagnostic was performed and the mechanic stated that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. The failure mileage was 20,000 and current mileage was 23,000. Updated 07/08/08. There was a loud clicking noise when braking. The vehicle was hard to start and when it start it would stall. The transmission make a shuttering noise. Updated.
