Case description I had a recalls on my 2008 Dodge Magnum for airbags, and ignition. Had it towed to comminwealth Dodge cause it stopped running while driving. They replaced the ignition, and supposedly replaced airbags also. The ignition allowed the car to then restart. However when I went to pick the car up it ran really badly, and had all the warning lights in the dash on. I confronted the dealership about this before even leaving the lot. They told me I would have to pay to have it looked at. I towed it to a different dealership where they found the main wiring harness pulled apart under the dash. After I picked the car up from them I've had the worst electrical problems imaginable. I've been stranded in ellensburg wa for 3 months, the battery died every 3-4 weeks. Fca will not even return any of my calls, and the dealership just tried to sell me a new car when I contact them. Please help.

Help!! I have a 2008 Magnum. I tried for 3 months to get the ignition recall done. "parts weren't available". Suddenly 3/2016 my car shut off while driving. It was towed to a dealer where they did the p57, r25 recalls. Upon return of car to me I notice dash functions inoperable. I went right back inside and was told I could leave it to be looked at (I would be billed) I called fcausllc and they set me up for a tow to a 2nd dealer. There it was found the wiring under the dash had been pulled apart. Partial repair was made there, but I then had a slow drain on electrical system. For 2+ months I was ignored by fca trying to get the issue remedied. On 5/22/16 I was on highway and car completely shut down again. This time I hit a retaining wall. It's been 3 months and I have no solution to this. I was ignored for a month and a half. Then they deneyed my claim due to it "not being a mfg. Defect" they knew the problem before this happened in the meantime the dealer where the car is has notified me the cars airbags had been deployed and are no good. . . . If they just replaced one of them, how had they been deployed. . . Why would they said to have done a recall on a deployed system. . . . . And why was I not notified of a airbag system that would not have helped me if I would have hit the wall head on? I have filed 2 complaints with bbb , and fca lied about the whole situation, and the case was closed. The dealership that messed up the electrical system replied with a false situation, and sales pitch for a new car, and my file was closed. I am 2500+ miles from my vehicle, am in financial shambles. No one from fca will even return my calls, and they refuse to give me any info when I call. This has destroyed my business, family, finances, and state of mind. I am out of options, please let me know how to pursue this. Thank you.

There are multiple complaint's online about the shifter problem associated with this vehicle. After contacting Chrysler about this they said the vehicle is not under recall and that the following year Magnum shifting problem was. When I can find over 300 complaints online about my year vehicle experiencing the same problem. It will not shift out of the park into any gears.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Magnum. While driving approximately 25 mph and attempting to brake, the brake pedal depressed all the way to the floor and failed to stop the vehicle. The contact placed the vehicle into park and it came to a stop. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure recurred on one other occasion while driving approximately 25 mph and the steering wheel dropped down and seized. The contact crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a lot and not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 154,000.

I was taking my family (wife, 18 month old, 2 yr old, and 4 yr old) to get some ice cream after a home depot trip. As I turned left across a busy street the stereo suddenly blinked out, and the engine died, along with power steering, brakes, and every electrical function. It simply blinked like all power was lost for a moment, and was enough to kill the engine, and loose all power assist functions of the vehicle. Thankfully I had momentum and was able to coast into the side street with out being t-boned by on coming traffic. I was sent recall p57/NHTSA 14v-567 in the mail in November 2014, but there was and still is no remedy for this recall which appears to be directly linked to my incident. How many fatal accidents are going to occur between now and the fix for the known issue? Dodge can build a brand new [xxx] between November and today, but they cannot manufacture a $. 50 part. Did they not learn from chevy? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

After filling up the car with gas it stalls and you lose steering and brake control, very dangerous and my wife is now scared to drive the car. Stalling went away after an hour trying to get home. Next morning seemed to run fine. Next fill up did the same thing. This problem is going to cause deaths for sure if it has not already. Contacting the dealer ASAP to see if they have others with same issue.

Had filled up gas tank, upon pulling out experienced engine hesitation and lack of power. A few minutes later while passing though a major intersection with 3 children in car, vehicle stalled, causing loss of power steering and of course any means of propulsion. The vehicle started again but stalled three more times before returning home. This is an extremely hazardous situation which can endanger lives in a high speed and high traffic situation.

At gas station pumped gas turned car on go ling approximately 5mph hit break to stop before crossing street breaks failed went completely to floor had to slam into pole to prevent from going into on coming traffic.

For the last 60 to 90 days , my car has being turning off several times . I took it for maintenance and everything was updated, brakes , oil change . I was advised it was my fuel tank . This needs to be fixed ASAP , I drive my children with me all the time .

While driving vehicle car will stall and only give about 5percent power. It can happen anytime has happened multiple times. Dealer had vehicle for a month and cannot determine the issues. I was almost hit by moving vehicles multiple times.

Time: after a fuel refill earlier in the day (always ask gas station attendant to -not- top off the tank and usually provide an exact number of gallons to make sure the gauge will read just under full after the gas refill) event: car stalled while being driven at about 25mph this is a safety issue as the car will stall at just about anytime (on the highway, making a turn, driving along suburban roads). At this time the only solution I have been able to implement is to rev the engine significantly fast after the refuel and/or drive in 1st or 2nd gear (by downshifting via the transmission gear shifter) for at least 10minutes of driving time. It has now been 6 months since the last activity on the current NHTSA pe13-016 investigation (last activity referred to on the website was August of 2013). This is a safety issue and a recall is clearly needed to address this safety issue. Can someone at NHTSA please post an update on the investigation?.

I had a starter failure on my car, and was replacing starter myself, since I do most of my repairs, & to remove starter, the steering shaft has to removed for clearance. After taking the steering shaft from the steering box and examining it, I found rusted out section on the collapsing joint of the shaaft. It is completely rusted out half the diameter of the shaft. I went auto salvage yard & put another shaft on car. I live in PA, padot uses liquid deicing spray on highways & it has penetrated this part. If it had gone much longer, it would have broken completely off, with loss of steering and possibly crash. This only has 60,000+ miles. I didn't go to dealer for replacemet, but saved the defective part. I think there should be recall to check other vehicles for this before someone get in trouble.

After filling up with gas, upon driving the car will die. At approximately 5mph the car will suddenly die and will not respond. Car will not start until after a few minutes of sitting. No cel lights or codes thrown.

Driving the car on bypass car began shaking uncontrollably I went to hit break it went all the way to floor. Took to mechanic was told abs system failed. The light for abs also came on in car.

After filling up at a gas station, I drove the car approximately 1/2 mile and the car stopped at a traffic light. This has happened to me probably a dozen times since March of this year. It does not happen after every fill up, probably every 4 times it happens.

I have never received any recall for Chrysler for the Dodge Magnum 2006 since I had it for 6 yrs+exited the freeway, and made turn to head towards my designated location. As soon as I cross over the first light ( going the speed limit) my vehicle lost control and accelerated more speed without me able to control the steering wheel causing the car to jerk all over the street. (unable to control steering and brake). Lost control went off the road instantly hit a tree and spun several times until I hit another tree,and that is what made the vehicle crash and come to a stop.

After filling my car and driving on the 710 freeway, while getting on the freeway the car just stalled. The steering got hard to turn as the vehicle was stalled. I managed to cruise to the side of the road and got the vehicle to start again. While driving it did it 2 more times until my gas started to go down. This happens almost every time I fill up the vehicle.

Every time you fill car with gas it stalls you have to burn off gas before you can drive.

The front end had to be welded back together and the it is pretty messed up. And front wheels bar might come aloose when turing is made hard. You can see where it was fix at on the bottom in the front the frame was reck pretty hard.

I've been experiencing failures with the steering angle sensor (code c121a) intermittently for over a month. In doing research with other owners of the lx series vehicles (charger, Magnum, 300) and Jeep vehicles equipped with the sensor it seems that this part commonly fails, often for an undetermined reason. Explanations vary between chafing and friction causing plastic chips to obscure the electro-optical sensor, to chafing or bad wiring harnesses. The inability of this sensor to initialize results in a lack of electronic stability control which could contribute to a crash. This problem is well documented and discussed on multiple online vehicle forums such as 300cforums. Com, jeepsunlimited. Com, lxforums. Com, jk-forum. Com, Dodgeforum. Com and a litany of other websites. Some even have threads discussing the possibility of recalls and service advisors telling customers it is a "common" problem, however daimler-Chrysler has not seen fit to take any corrective action or issue a recall, nor are there any tsbs that I could locate.

I have had to repair a leak in the power steering hose twice with the last year. The manufacturer is aware of the failure;however, did not offer any assistance.

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Magnum. The contact stated that the horn failed to activate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that the steering wheel assembly needed to be replaced. No the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Magnum. While driving between 40-50 mph, the vehicle vibrates violently. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer six times. They were able to duplicate the failure, but were unsure of what caused the vibration. The dealer rotated the tires, but this did not correct the failure. He purchased an extended warranty just in case. The failure mileage was 3,000 and current mileage was 11,000.

My 2006 Dodge Magnum needed new tierod ends and new suspension tension arms at under 45,000 miles. Chrysler canada and the dealers acknowledge that this is the number one repair for the Magnum, but refuse to correct or recall the vehicles.

The tires on my 2006 Dodge magunum rt may be suspect. However, when the car was given a four wheel alignment at about 6000 miles, it was found to need major adjustment at all four wheels. This car had not hit anything to knock the wheels out of alignment so I have to assume that the car was poorly assembled. I now have about 21000 miles on the car and I still feel that the car has very unpredictable steering. I hope that the cause is tires which I can replace (much too early). But I fear that there may be a steering rack problem.

- the contact stated that while driving his 2006 Dodge Magnum if the vehicle goes over 30 mph the vehicle pulls to the right excessively. The contact has taken the vehicle to the dealership(lums auto center) ten times and they have attempted to re-align the vehicles front end, as well as, changing the vehicles tires. The contact stated that the service manager contacted the manufactured on 01/03/07 told the manufacturer that were not able to repair the vehicle and they needed guidance. The manufacturer stated that they will get back to dealership once they researched the issue ( case reference number 15849994). The contact can provide copies of all his invoice repaired if needed.

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Magnum. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the vehicle suddenly coasted to the right. The constant coasting to the right wore on the tires. The contact called the dealer who stated that the vehicle needed an alignment. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 1,100 and the current mileage was approximately 60,000.

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.

The front tires have worn out on the outside edges, car pulls to the right, growling noise at low speeds now beginning to show up at higher speeds. Have complained about the problem since 6000 miles on the car, now has 19500, dealer says the alignment has no problems, blames the tires, the tire people (continental) blame the car. The car is now undriveable without replacing the tires, they are so out of balance and cupped vibration is severe. I was last told by the dealer it is my problem.

My Magnum would pull to the right. I took the car into the dealer since I bought new tires and rims at the time the pulling to the right became worse. The dealer replaced the front steering box and rack with a non-dealer one. Problem gone. The only reason the dealer replaced with a non Chrysler item part was that they did not have any in stock.

No failure, waiting for the event. Vehicle pulls to the right and continues to do so after repeated front end alignments per Chrysler specifications. This vehicle has a serious potential problem that should be investigated proactively rather than after incident occurs. I would recommend searching the internet for hundreds of similar complaints. I've used may 2005 as the incident date when I bought the vehicle. What lead me to this site - frustration!.

2005 Dodge Magnum rt bought new has always pulled to the right. Dealer has done 3 front end alignments, tires / wheels replaced, steering box replaced, continues to pull right. You cannot take you had off the wheel without car immediately veering right. Dealer tired to claim it as safety item but this is a lie, since no other new car has done this. A recall is due before lives are lost. Premature tire wear is occuring due to this problem.

I purchased my new 2005 Dodge Magnum r/t on 12/20/04. Manufacturer date 9/04. Vehicle continues to pull right. Has pulled to the right from the beginning. Must keep constant pressure to the left on the steering wheel. If I let up, vehicle travels right. Lane does not make difference. Without constant pressure to left, vehicle will travel across 3 lanes to right and keep going right. First complaint at 4400 miles 5/05. Dealer realigned. Second complaint 7900 miles. Dealer realigned. Third complaint 15900 miles. Both front tires showing extreme wear on outside. Tread in that area on driver front almost gone. Requested tire replacement. Dealer told me they contacted daimler Chrysler about my complaint. Two new tires were mounted, at no charge to me, on rear of vehicle. Older rear tires moved to front. Rear tires did not show any abnormal wear. Vehicle came with continental tires. Replacement tires also continentals. Vehicle aligned again. On drive home, vehicle continued to pull to right. Took vehicle to reputable, national company for a courtesy road test. They confirmed vehicle pulls to the right. Returned to dealer a couple of hours later with the complaint that the vehicle still pulling to right. Management is contacting the "Dodge technicians" to see what can be done about my vehicle. I was told by this dealer that they had experienced similar problems with another 05 Magnum, that they were told by the "Dodge technicians" that the vehicles are within specs and within tolerances. " within tolerances of what? I know that if I let go of the wheel, or do not apply constant pressure to the left, this vehicle will run off the road! the extreme tire wear I experienced was directly related to the front end of this vehicle. At present my vehicle has 16000 miles on it. Left front tire that was removed was extremely scary as to how it had worn so badly. I am not in possession of the removed tires.

My 2005 Dodge Magnum r/t experiences alignment issues with the vehicle pulling to the right. While the manufacturer claims it is "within spec" the dealership does not deny the problem exists. I have visited the dealership twice regarding the issue and will most likely go back a third time. I am aware of a TSB that is out regarding this issue, however I feel dealerships may not have all the information or choose not to perform the necessary work to fix this obviously widespread flaw.
