2006 Dodge Magnum complaints

APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES AFTER THE LATEST GASOLINE FILL UP, THE CAR STALLED AT AN INTERSECTION. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE CAR STALLED AT THE NEXT 3 INTERSECTIONS AND RAN ROUGH ONCE ON MODERATE ACCELERATION. NO ENGINE CODES OR WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED. ENGINE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED NUT ONLY WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SLIGHTLY. WOULD NOT RE-START OTHERWISE. PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF OPERATION. SINCE THEN, ISSUE HAS RE-SURFACED APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES WITH SIMILAR SYMPTOMS; OCCASIONALLY WITH ENGINE STALLING WHILE THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN BUT STILL MOVING. ALL TIME ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF OPERATION AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY MAGNUM, THE ENGINE STOPPED COMPLETELY. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS SINCE I HAVE HAD IT. IT HAS BEEN TO THREE DODGE DEALERSHIPS, COSTING ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, AND THE PROBLEM IS NEVER FIXED. IT SEEMS THAT THE CAR STOPS MOSTLY WHEN I FIRST DRIVE OFF IN THE MORNING AND AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. *TR

ACCELERATOR PEDAL BRACKET BROKE LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE ABILITY TO IDLE ONLY. I WAS AT AN 8 LANE INTERSECTION, VERY BUSY SPOT, THE TRAFFIC CONTROL LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING, THEY WERE FLASHING RED. I WAS PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, NOBODY WANTS TO LET YOU TURN, TRAFFIC WAS BACKED UP BIG TIME. I STARTED TO TURN AND HIT THE GAS PETAL AND THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN. NEXT THING I'M LOOKING AT A TRUCK RIGHT AT ME AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO QUICKLY GET OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT OR SAVE MY OWN LIFE. THE PETAL, BRACKET & WIRING LIED ON THE FLOOR-USELESS. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED TO A SQUAD CAR, I'LL BET SURE THE CHARGERS THE POLICE USE ARE BUILT THE SAME WAY. WELL I SUPPOSE THE CRIMINAL WOULD GET AWAY BECAUSE THE POLICE COULD ONLY IDLE TO CATCH THEM. I TOOK PICTURES IF INTERESTED. *TR

ENGINE STALLS EVERY TIME FUEL TANK IS FILLED. TYPICALLY OCCURS AT AN IDLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLUP. LEAVES ME STRANDED IN TRAFFIC AND HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS DUE TO STALLING AT LOW SPEED, OR ACCELERATION FROM A LOW SPEED. HAS STALLED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC, CAUSING PEOPLE TO SWERVE OUT OF MY WAY ALMOST CAUSING SEVERAL COLLISIONS. *TR

AFTER FILL UP AND NOT TOPPING OFF TANK CAR WILL SPUTTER OR EVEN DIE AND HAVE TO BE RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FIRST 10 OR SO MILE. MY CAR HAS DIED SEVERAL TIMES IN BUSY TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING A REAR END COLLISION FROM CARS BEHIND ME. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED TWO TIMES AFTER FILLING GAS TANK. DIFFICULT TO RESTART--HAD TO TRY 3-4 TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO RESTART. EACH STALLING INCIDENT OCCURRED AS I CAME TO A STOP. *TR

I FILLED UP THE GAS TANK OF MY 2006 SRT8 DODGE MAGNUM. I THEN PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION PARKING LOT AND THE CAR DIED. THE CAR DIED MANY MORE TIMES THE REST OF THIS DAY. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH. IT ACTED AS IF THERE WAS VAPOR LOCK. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE WITH GAS GETTING INTO THE EVAP CANISTER, THAT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THEIR LX CHRYSLER PRODUCTS OF THIS YEAR. AFTER I BURNED OFF ABOUT FOUR GALLONS OF GAS, THIS SYMPTOM STOPPED HAPPENING. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES THIS YEAR WHEN I FILLED THE GAS TANK AND THE TEMPERATURE IS COOLER. I DO NOT TOP OFF. THIS IS A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. *TR

ENGINE COMPUTER THAT TALKS TO KEY TO DETERMINE "MATCH" DIES AND SHUTS OFF VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. COMPUTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. 14000 MILES LATER (TWO YEARS LATER) COMPUTER THAT WAS REPLACED DOES THE EXACT SAME THING AND DODGE WILL NOT REPLACE AS A DEFECTIVE, BUT RATHER CHARGING 1200 BUCKS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT RANDOMLY JUST CUTS OFF ENGINE WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND CAN BE REAR ENDED. THIS IS NOT A PART THAT "WEARS". AND THIS IS NOT A PART THAT SHOULD EVER HAVE TO BE REPLACED OR GO BAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE RECURRED VARIOUS TIMES AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. UPDATED 11/05/13*LJ UPDATED 11/8/2013 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT FROM PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 158,000.

I EXPERIENCE 2 TYPES OF ENGINE STALL. FIRST INCIDENT - CAR ENGINE WOULD STALL AT A STOP LIGHT AND HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES. I COMPLETED A TUNE UP THINKING IT WAS A SPARK PLUG AND PROBLEM CONTINUES. MY MECHANIC TESTED THE CAR FOR ONE DAY AND CANNOT TELL ME WHY IT WOULD STALL. SECOND INCIDENT - CAR ENGINE WOULD STALL AT 10 MILES PER HOUR CAUSING THE CAR TO STOP WHICH IS DANGEROUS. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET BACK ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CAR STALLED AT THE STOP SIGN. I RECEIVED HELP IN PUSHING THE CAR OUT OF THE BUSY INTERSECTION. DUE TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS I CHECKED THE OIL LEVELS AND IF THE GAS CAP WAS SECURED PROPERLY. BOTH WERE FINE AND I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE TO THE ON-RAMP OF THE FREEWAY WHEN IT STALLED AGAIN. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE BUSY ON-RAMP AND WAS A HAZARD TO THE MANY SEMI TRUCKS MAKING THE TURN ONTO THE FREEWAY. AFTER WAITING FOR ALMOST AN HOUR FOR THE CAR TO COOL I CHECKED THE OIL AGAIN. IT WAS FULL AND FRESH AFTER BEING SERVICED RECENTLY. A CHP OFFICER SPOTTED ME ON THE RAMP AND I INFORMED HIM OF WHICH PANEL LIGHTS LIT UP AND THE WHAT THE MANUAL SUGGESTED. HE WANTED TO CHECK IF I HAD OIL PRESSURE AND SUGGESTED I ATTEMPT TO TURN IT ON. INDEED THE PRESSURE WAS FINE BUT THE CAR HAD A ROUGH IDLE, SPUTTERED AND DIED AGAIN. AFTER TURNING IT OVER AGAIN THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF FUEL, I TRIED REVVING THE ENGINE. IT DIED AGAIN. THE CHP OFFICER AND I AGREED IT WAS A FUEL PROBLEM AND INFORMED ME IT WOULD BE CHEAPER IF I CALLED A TOW TRUCK THAN IF HE DID AND SAID HE WOULD BE BACK TO CHECK ON ME. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR RUNNING LONG ENOUGH TO BACK OFF THE ON-RAMP AND INTO A PARKING LOT. IT DIED TWO MORE TIMES. AFTER GETTING IT STARTED AGAIN I REVVED THE ENGINE UNTIL IT IDLED PROPERLY AND WENT HOME. WHILE RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON LXFORUMS.COM I BECAME AWARE OF A

SUDDEN ENGINE STALL FEW MILES AFTER FUEL CHARGE. THESE PROBLEMS HAPPENED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENT ALMOST EVERY FUEL CHARGE. WHEN ENGINE STALLED, IT'S DIFFICULT TO RESTART. ONE INCIDENT WAS THE SUDDEN ENGINE STALL DURING DRIVING CAUSES ME TO PANIC DUE TO LOSING POWER ASSIST OF STEERING AND BRAKES, AND ALMOST HIT SIDE WALK AT MY NEIGHBORHOOD. ASKED DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG, AND THEY MADE SOME REPAIRS TO THE FUEL INJECTION, AND EGR VALVE. BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. *JB

NORMAL FILL UP AT COSTCO 91 OCTANE - STARTED TO DRIVE AWAY THE MAGNUM SRT8 STALLED AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME LEAVING THE PARKING LOT HIT ME. COULD NOT GET IT TO RUN CORRECTLY FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. MY WIFE AND BABY IN THE CAR VERY WORRIED.

VEHICLE STALLING AFTER FUEL FILL-UP. THE TEMPORARY FIX OF NOT "TOPPING OFF" THE TANK WORKED FOR A FEW MONTHS. THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY HOWEVER, REGARDLESS OF THE FUEL LEVEL. CAR SHUTTING OFF/LOSING POWER RANDOMLY IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER RETURN SPRING HOOK BROKE AUGUST 16, 2013, I PARKED MY CAR IN THE GARAGE AT 9PM, NO PROBLEMS AT THAT TIME. I RETURNED ON AUGUST 18, 2013 APPROXIMATELY 1:00PM TO START MY CAR AND I PROCEEDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK AND THE GEAR SHIFT WOULDN'T MOVE. I PRESSED ON THE BREAK AGAIN AND TRIED AGAIN TO TAKE THE GEAR SHIFT OUT OF PARK, IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THIS WAS HAPPENING AGAIN FOR I ALSO CO-OWN A DODGE CHARGER AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO THAT VEHICLE ON JULY 30TH. I CALLED MY MECHANIC AND HE WALKED ME THROUGH THE STEPS TO GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK (REMOVE THE PLATE AROUND THE GEAR SHIFT, TAKE A LONG SCREW DRIVER AND MOVE THE WIRE EXTENDING TO THE GEAR SHIFT TO THE LEFT, WHICH WOULD RELEASE THE GEAR OUT OF PARK) AND IT WORKED. I WAS OUT-OF-TOWN AND COMPLETELY STRESSED THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING TO MY 2ND DODGE VEHICLE. BOTH VEHICLES WERE PURCHASED WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF EACH OTHER AND FROM THE SAME DEALER. (MICHAEL JORDAN NISSAN). A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PART BUT NEITHER OF MY VEHICLES ARE COVERED. I REALLY NEED THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED, FOR I NEED BOTH OF MY VEHICLES TO WORK PROPERLY. WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF OWNING 2 VEHICLES FROM DODGE, HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM TO OCCUR WITH BOTH VEHICLES WITHIN WEEKS A PART. *TR

I HAVE 3.5L SXT MODEL VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS DANGEROUS ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PROPER RUNNING TEMPERATURE. WHEN YOU PULL OUT ONTO A STREET YOU EXPECT THAT THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE TO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES THAT I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT IS LIKE DRAGGING AN ANCHOR BEHIND ME. I HAVE BEEN DOING LOTS OF READING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THAT THIS COULD BE A SIMPLE FIX FROM CHRYSLER BY A CORRECTED PROGRAM ISSUE FOR THE TRANSMISSION. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A TSB BE ISSUED FOR THIS AS IT IS GOING TO CAUSE A BAD CRASH DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT RESPONDING AS IT SHOULD. THIS PROBLEM, FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, IS ONLY WITH ONE SPECIFIC TRANSMISSION USED IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE. LIKE I SAID ABOVE, THIS IS AN EASY FIX FOR CHRYSLER BY REPROGRAMMING THE TRANSMISSION OPERATION BUT THEY ARE NOT WANTING TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP AND I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR BACK FROM SOMEONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THANKS. *TR

LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON, STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO FILL UP. I FILLED THE TANK FULL UP TO WHEN THE GAS-REFILL-NOZZLE CLICKED OFF, AND THEN A LITTLE MORE - UP TO THE NEXT WHOLE DOLLAR. RECAPPED MY TANK, AND BEGAN TO DRIVE AWAY. THE ENGINE BUCKED A BIT THEN STALLED. WAS A BIT HARDER THAN NORMAL TO GET IT RESTARTED. THEN SLOWED FOR THE FIRST TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND IT SUDDENLY DIED IN BUSY TRAFFIC! HARD TO GET IT RESTARTED. PULLED AWAY FROM THE STOP LIGHT AND IT BUCKED AND STUTTERED SOME MORE AND THEN CLEARED UP IN A COUPLE MILES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 3 TIMES SINCE THIS BEHAVIOR STARTED. TWO TIMES FOR SURE THE CAR WAS RUNNING DURING THE REFILL. I WILL PAY ATTENTION IN THE FUTURE TO SEE IF IT ONLY HAPPENS DURING REFILL WITH IT STILL RUNNING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED AND DIAGNOSED AS A DRIVE SHAFT MALFUNCTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT REACH RPM OVER 3000RPM THIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSMISSION . WHEN THIS OCCURS (INTERMITTENTLY) THE TRANSMISSION FORWARD GEAR SELECTION DOES NOT WORK NOR APPEAR ON THE DASH BOARD SELECTOR ONLY THE D IS LIT IT WILL NOT SHIFT TO LOWER GEARS AS IT WOULD DO NORMALLY IE. 4, 3, 2,1. IF THE CAR IS BROUGHT TO A STOP AND SHUT OFF IT WILL WHEN STARTED AGAIN IT WILL BEHAVE NORMALLY. SINCE THIS OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING IT PRESENTS A SERIOUS HAZARD AS ACCELERATION FAILS WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC? *TR

AFTER FILLING UP AT A LOCAL GAS STATION, I DROVE AWAY, ABOUT A QUARTER MILE AND STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. THE ENGINE STALLED AS I STOPPED. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE MOTOR 3 TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD RUN. ONCE STARTED, I DROVE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MILE, AND WHEN I SLOWED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, IT STALLED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND THE VEHICLE RAN FINE AFTER THAT. THIS IS ROUGHLY THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. THE LAST TWO TIMES, I REALIZED THAT THEY WERE IMMEDIATELY AFTER A FILL UP. *TR

THE FRONT END HAD TO BE WELDED BACK TOGETHER AND THE IT IS PRETTY MESSED UP. AND FRONT WHEELS BAR MIGHT COME A LOOSE WHEN TURNING IS MADE HARD. YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT WAS FIX AT ON THE BOTTOM IN THE FRONT THE FRAME WAS WRECK PRETTY HARD. *TR

THE CAR WAS WRECKED REALLY BAD. FRONT END A BACK WAS DAMAGED MAINLY THE FRAME OF THE CAR FRONT END ALSO THE TRUNK WAS PUSHED IN AND THE RIGHTSIDE REAR LIGHT IS DAMAGED ALITTLE INSIDE WAS MESSED UP POWER SEATS DON'T WORK PROPERLY. ALSO AT TIMES IT DON'T MOVE AT ALL IT WAS SOLD TO ME LIKE THIS AT A REALLY UNFAIR PRICE OF 17,999. THEY NEED TO BE LOCKED IN JAIL FOR SUCH A SCAM AND RIPPED ME OFF. ALSO THESE PEOPLE ARE STONE HEARTED CROOKS. PLEASE HELP THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND THIS HAS TO BE AGAINST THE LAW. *TR

THE FIRST TIME A STALL OCCURRED I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WHEN THE CAR STALLED. IT TOOK SEVERAL TRIES TO GET THE CAR STARTED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT THEN WENT OFF AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES. SINCE THEN, THE CAR HAS STALLED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BOTH WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND AT IDLE. SOME OF THE STALLS ARE ONLY A SPLIT SECOND, WITH MULTIPLE DASH WARNING LIGHTS APPEARING BEFORE THE CAR STARTS AGAIN ON ITS OWN. UNLIKE OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN, IT DOES NOT OCCUR ONLY AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK BUT IS INSTEAD COMPLETELY RANDOM. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND INDEPENDENT MECHANICS ON AT LEAST SIX OCCASIONS. THE DODGE DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR A WEEK ON ONE OCCASION AND WAS STILL UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. NOT ONLY IS THIS PROBLEM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING SINCE MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A SOLUTION, IT IS ALSO DANGEROUS SINCE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES STOP WORKING WHEN THE CAR IS STALLED. *TR

I FILLED THE GAS TANK UP, GOT IN CAR AND WHEN I WAS MERGING ON FREEWAY CAR JERKED SEVERAL TIMES AND DIED. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY MULTIPLE CARS. GOT CAR INTO NEUTRAL WAS ABLE TO RESTART BUT IT DIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES. NOW EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP THE CAR DIES IN TRAFFIC AT SPEED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS A FAULTY FUEL TANK BUT WILL NOT WARRANTY THE REPAIR. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND SEVERAL FORUMS WITH MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE DODGE MAGNUM AND CHRYSLER 300. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD GET SOMEBODY KILLED IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. *TR

THE CAR STALLS, SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAD BOTH OF THE TOP 02 SENSOR REPLACED. A REPAIR TOLD ME MY OIL PRESSURE SENSOR WAS BAD GOT THAT REPLACED. CALL THE SERVICE CENTER AND TELL THEM THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID MY COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE RESET. THAT DIDN'T WORK. *TR

I HAD STOPPED IN THE WACO, TX AREA TO FILL UP WITH GAS ON MY WAY TO ITALY, TX. I FILLED MY VEHICLE UP WITH GAS, STARTED IT, AND WAS ENTERING IN SOME GPS COORDINATES WHEN THE CAR SHUDDERED AND DIED. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. SINCE THEN IT HAS PROBABLY HAPPENED 18-24 TIMES, ALWAYS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION. SOMETIMES IT DIES IN TRAFFIC, OTHER TIMES THE ENGINE WILL SURGE AS IF I HAD TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. *TR

IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING GAS TANK WITH NEW FUEL THE FOLLOWING HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES: THE CAR WILL START AT THE GAS STATION BUT SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION (WITHIN A BLOCK OR WHEN GETTING BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A REST STOP) THE CAR WILL STALL. THE STALL CAN HAPPEN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR EVEN ON THE WAY TO REACHING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AT THIS TIME MY SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN TO REV THE ENGINE IN NEUTRAL FOR A BIT AFTER GETTING THE GAS TANK FILLED WITH FRESH GASOLINE. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK MY CAR DIED ABOUT A HALF DOZEN TIMES. *TR

I HAD JUST FILLED UP MY GAS TANK AND UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION AND REACHING THE FIRST STOP LIGHT (~100 YARDS FROM THE GAS STATION) MY CAR STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR FOLLOWING A COUPLE OF TRIES. THIS WAS THE ONLY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THIS CAR. *TR

AFTER REFUELING AND FILLING UP THE TANK, THE CAR WILL SHUTDOWN UNDER BRAKING, CORNERING OR AT A STOP. THIS HAPPENED SO FREQUENTLY I NO LONGER FILL THE TANK AND STOP AT 3/4. THERE ARE SEVERAL INSTANCES REPORTED BOTH HERE AND IN CANADA ON THE CAR FORUMS. THE FIX HAS BEEN EITHER REPLACING THE TANK AND/OR THE EVAP VALVE AND PUMP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMAL FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

2006 DODGE MAGNUM SRT 6.1 HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. IT IS HARD TO RESTART AFTER IT STALLS. IT HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP ONCE FOR THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER IT CONTINUES TO OCCUR AT RANDOM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 25 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS, WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF EIGHT MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED THE CONTACT EIGHT OIL CHANGES AT THEIR EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 127,000.

I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 MAGNUM SRT8 THIS PAST WINTER. WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH IN DRIVE, THE ENGINE CUTOFF AND LOST ALL POWER COMPLETELY. I ALSO LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THANK GOODNESS I WAS ON A BACK ROAD. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK, COMPLETELY TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTART THE CAR. IT RESTARTED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. I DROVE A FEW MORE MILES AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. AGAIN, LUCKY I WAS ON A BACK ROAD!! I MADE IT HOME AND IT STALLED A 3RD TIME JUST AS I PULLED IT INTO THE GARAGE. AGAIN, COMPLETELY RANDOM WHILE DRIVING!!!! I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO COULD NOT RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM. I PAID FOR THE 60,000 MILE SERVICE AND DID NOT HAVE ISSUES AGAIN UNTIL THIS PAST WEEKEND WHEN THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED 5 TIMES IN 2 DAYS. AGAIN, COMPLETELY RANDOM WHILE DRIVING!!. DANGEROUS. THESE PARTICULAR TIMES OCCURRED AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED ON THE ROAD. I WILL BE TAKING MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN FOR DIAGNOSTICS. I AM AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST AND IT DOESN'T TAKE TO ONE TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS COMPLETE ATTENTION AND A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION. I LOVE MY CAR BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. DODGE AND NHTSA, YOU CANNOT IGNORE THIS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AS I WI

I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND I REALIZED THAT MY LIGHTS WERE FLICKERING AND FLASHING WITHOUT ME HAVING TO TOUCH ANYTHING. FIRST I THOUGHT I HAD FUSES ISSUES OR SOME TYPE OF BAD CONNECTION. IT WASN'T THE CASE BECAUSE I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE MECHANICS AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A BAD CONNECTION. I TOOK BACK THE CAR BUT THE SITUATION WAS GETTING WORST O HE POINT THAT THE LIGHT CAN STAY OFF FOR MORE THEN 10 SECONDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY COMEBACK ON. ALSO IT WILL KEEP DOING THAT THROUGH THE WHOLE TRIP. IN BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE MECHANICS AND THEY FOUND THAT THAT'S AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THROUGH GOOGLE THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH A LOT OF DODGES MAGNUM (ELECTRICAL PROBLEM). I THINK THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. SPECIALLY DRIVING AT NIGHT. THANK YOU FOR RUNNING AN INVESTIGATION IN THIS ISSUE. *TR

PLACED SHIFT LEVER IN PARK. COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF PARK NOR START ENGINE. *TR

AFTER REFUELING VEHICLE TO A FULL TANK OF GAS, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHEN DRIVING. IN SOME CASES MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE IS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THE STALL AND THE TIMING OF THE INCIDENT SEEMS RANDOM - SOMETIMES RIGHT AWAY AFTER FILL-UP, SOMETIMES A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD. ONLY OCCURS AT FULL TANK CONDITION BUT DOES OCCUR EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS IT IS DIFFICULT TO START BACK UP - POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ARE LOST DURING THIS TIME. ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS TRAVELED 10-15 MILES THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO GO AWAY - UNTIL FILLING THE GAS TANK AGAIN. IT SEEMS LIKE AN EMISSIONS SYSTEMS TYPE OF PROBLEM - MAYBE PART OF THE FUEL TANK VENTING SYSTEM. THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH SIMILAR TYPE OF VEHICLES (CHRYSLER 300, DODGE CHARGER) ON THE INTERNET. *TR

V8 ENGINE REPEATEDLY AND UNPREDICTABLY STALLS AND LOSES POWER DURING DRIVING AND TURNING SITUATIONS. RECOVERS AFTER 1-2 SECONDS IN SOME INSTANCES, STALLS COMPLETELY AND IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART IN OTHERS. PRODUCES EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS SITUATIONS IN TRAFFIC AND AT INTERSECTIONS. LOCAL DODGE DEALER (HALL DODGE) HAS HAD CAR FOR SIX WEEKS+ AND HAS FAILED TO CORRECTLY DIAGNOSE & REPAIR. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM INVOLVES FUEL TANK VALVE, AS IT IS MORE PREVALENT (SEE MANY ONLINE POSTS OF IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS SINCE 2005 AND BEFORE) AFTER FULL FUEL FILL AND PERSISTS UNTIL UNRESTRICTED FUEL APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN USED TO SUFFICIENT DEGREE. DEALER HAS REPLACED UNLIKELY ITEMS SUCH AS SUNROOF MODULE AND THE ABS MODULE IN FUTILE AND INEPT ATTEMPTS TO SKIRT THE REAL ISSUE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE IN ONE OF THESE CARS WHEN IT STALLS --CHRYSLER DODGE IS 100% KNOWLEDGEABLE OF THIS DEFECT IN MANY OF THEIR CARS, AND WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OR MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO CORRECT IT. WE IMPLORE NHTSA TO INTERVENE IMMEDIATELY! POSTED 27 FEB 2013. *TR

I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE OVER 55 MPH (SOMETIMES IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 35 MPH). THE FAILURE RESOLVED TEMPORARILY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. WHEN THIS DOES OCCUR THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE POSITION AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BOTH COME ON AND THE CAR REVS UP LOUDLY UNTIL IT IS SHUT OFF. IT IS DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE GOING 65-70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR DROPS DOWN TO 35 MPH. NOW THAT THE WEATHER IS COLDER IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN INCLUDING AS SOON AS YOU START THE CAR. THERE ALSO IS A LOT OF SHAKING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY OR WHILE BRAKING. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DODGE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE SUSPENSION IS EXTREMELY LOOSE, WHICH AGAIN IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE WHEEL COULD JUST FALL OFF. I ALSO HAVE THE PROBLEM THAT I CANNOT GET THE GEAR OUT OF PARK AT ANY POINT. I DID FIND THE RECALL AND CALLED CHRYSLER, BUT THEY SAY MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL (WHY NOT? IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM). THEY NOTATED IT, BUT HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO HELP ME. I HAVE TO KEEP MY CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON ANYTIME I PARK. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS I CANNOT PARK IN SPOTS BECAUSE EVEN WITH THE BRAKE ON THE CAR STILL ROLLS. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE AND SEE THESE ARE ALL COMMON PROBLEMS AND MAY ALL HAVE RECALLS AND I FEEL MY CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THOSE. *TR

WHILE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE CONTENTS FROM THE TRUNK OF MY VEHICLE, THE TRUNK RELEASED ITSELF WITHOUT PRESSURE OR FORCE AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND TREATED FOR CONTUSIONS TO THE HEAD. I SUSTAINED BLEEDING AND BRUISING TO THE HEAD. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 105,000. *TR

I HAD JUST FILLED THE TANK OF MY 2006 DODGE MAGNUM AND DROVE ABOUT 20 MILES INTO TOWN. AFTER MAKING A QUICK STOP AT A LOCAL STORE I ONCE AGAIN GOT INTO THE CAR AND BEGAN DRIVING APPROX. 30 MPH. AS I BEGAN TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ALL POWER WAS LOST TO THE CAR; STEERING BECAME NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE, GAS PEDAL DID NOT WORK AND I BASICALLY WAS DEAD IN THE ROAD. I TURNED THE KEY TO OFF, PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE. IT STARTED RIGHT UP, BEGAN TO DRIVE AND AT THE NEXT LIGHT NEEDED TO TAKE ANOTHER LEFT; WITH CARS COMING AT ME FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION I WENT TO TAKE THE LEFT WHEN ONCE AGAIN THE ENTIRE CAR LOST POWER..NO STEERING, NO GAS POWER, CHECK OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE ONCOMING CARS DID NOT HIT ME AND THAT I HAD ALLOWED ENOUGH SPACE INCASE THE SAME THING OCCURRED OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A COLLISION FOR SURE. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW OTHER TIMES WITHOUT ANY REASON BUT WE ARE ALWAYS ABLE TO START IT BACK UP AND THEN IT MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. BEEN TOLD IT IS THE "ROLL OVER VALVE" FAILING $2 GRAND TO FIX!!!!! *TR

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. *TR

I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE PURCHASED IN 2007. AT 60,000 I HAD THE RACK IN PINION REPLACED AT ABOUT 1000 DOLLARS, NEXT WAS THE COOLING FAN AT 75,000 MILES (COST 700.00 DOLLARS). THEN AT ABOUT 90,000MILES THE WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT, TENSION PULLEY AND TIMING BELT HAD TO BE CHANGED FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF 1300 HUNDRED. I AM NOW AT 100,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD SUSPENSION ISSUES SINCE ABOUT 40,000 MILES HAVE MAINTAINED OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE. THIS SEEMS UNFAIR! *TR

THE PARKING INTERLOCK PAWL ON NEARLY ALL OF THE DODGE MAGNUMS AND CHARGERS, CHRYSLER 300 INDICATES A VERY SIGNIFICANT FAILURE RATE. THIS PIECE FUNCTIONS TO PREVENT SHIFTING THE VEHICLE FROM PARK UNLESS THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED. DODGE HAS CHANGED THE DESIGN AND MATERIAL DUE TO QUALITY AND RELIABILITY PROBLEMS FROM THE PREVIOUSLY USED PART WHICH WAS MADE OUT OF A VERY INEXPENSIVE PLASTIC. AS A PREVENTIVE MEASURE AGAINST FAILURE, MANY OWNERS HAVE CHOSEN TO REMOVE THE PAWL TO PREVENT BEING STRANDED. IN REMOVING THE PAWL, THE SHIFTER INTERLOCK MECHANISM BECOMES INEFFECTIVE ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO BE SHIFTED FROM PARK WITHOUT THE KEY INSERTED IN THE IGNITION AND THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. WHILE THE MALFUNCTION AT HAND IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE DIRECTLY RELATED TO PART FAILURE, THE RESULTING OUTCOME FROM THE REMOVAL OF THIS PART CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE OF GREAT CONCERN. TO DATE DODGE HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS PART. I ASK THAT NHTSA CONSIDER THE HIGH PROBABILITY OF ACCIDENTS, INJURIES AND DEATHS RESULTING FROM THIS DEFECT OF THIS PART AND/OR ITS REMOVAL AND RECOMMEND THE ISSUANCE OF A RECALL FOR REPLACEMENT OF THIS PART. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ATTEMPTED TO SHUT DOWN. THIS FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MADE A LOUD NOISE AS IF IT WERE GOING TO DROP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND BEGAN TO SLIP. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD ATTEMPT TO STALL WHEN ATTEMPTING A TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLES TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 86,200.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER COULD NOT BE SHIFTED FROM PARK. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE VIN DID NOT QUALIFY FOR REPAIRS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V460000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). IN ADDITION, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE THE TRUNK, THE TRUNK WOULD SLAM SHUT ABRUPTLY AND ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE TRUNK LID WOULD SLAM ON A PERSON'S HEAD, CAUSING INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 02/15/12*LJ
