2005 DODGE MAGNUM Engine Problems

The vehicle stalled during normal use traveling about 35 miles an hour right after an intersection. MY husband was able to safely make it off the road as we live in a small town he did this by feathering the accelerator pedal. He is a mechanic so he was able to get it home by lightly tapping the pedal. If he pressed the pedal too hard the car stalled without warning so he lightly tapped on it and made it 2 blocks to our home where it has set in the driveway ever since. We spent over $1000 replacing parts such as the throttle body and the fuel pump and sending unit, egr, pcv, crankshaft sensor, plugs,injectors, intake seals, air intake temperature sensor and throttle body which include the throttle position sensor. Before we went for the cam sensor I decided to look up the issue and found so many with the same problem as us. We are veterans on a semi fixed income with a 10 month old daughter and this is our only vehicle we live in a super hot place in northern Arizona and can not afford further repairs as every part seems to be quite expensive. I don't have the fear of it dying while transporting my daughter again as it won't even stay started since the first incident. Additionally there are no codes or dash indicator lights staying on. We will be contacting Dodge in Kingman Arizona today.

I was braking when the brakes didn't stop the tires and it slid into a curve.

When vehicle has been filled up with gas it will intermittently die until it has around 50 miles on it. Usually sputters and dies without warning leaving you with no steering or brakes. Will restart but die until some fuel is ran out. I have scheduled to have the gas tank replaced but the fee is around $150

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Magnum. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled after refueling. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the local dealer nor an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the issue to an unknown recall. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 98,478.

Mileage: 98,478

CAR ENGINE QUITS RUNNING AFTER STARTUP FOLLOWING REFUELING, AND SEVERAL TIMES THEREAFTER, REQUIRING THAT THE ENGINE BE RESTARTED EACH TIME. IT OCCURS AFTER EACH REFUELING. ALL OPERATIONAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS LOST WHEN THE ENGINE QUITS. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A GREAT SAFETY HAZARD.

Mileage: 30,000

AFTER FUELING AT A GAS STATION AND ONLY FUELING UNTIL THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, THE ENGINE DIES ABOUT A BLOCK AWAY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE GETS A FULL TANK OF GAS.

Mileage: 32,000

CAR KEPT STALLING WHILE DRIVING. ON TWO OCCASIONS IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS. SPENT $1500 ON REPLACING/FIXING PARTS THAT NEVER SOLVED THE PROBLEM. FINALLY I RESEARCHED IT FOUND OUT IT COULD BE A FUEL TANK ISSUE.

Mileage: 115,000

WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FILLED, THE MOTOR CUTS OUT AND STALLS WHEN DRIVING, I HAVE TO KEEP THE TANK AT HALF WAY TO AVOID THIS. MY WIFE FILLED IT UP AND IT STALLED ON HER WHILE SHE WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN IN TRAFFIC. MY CHILD WAS IN THE CAR AS WELL. IT APPEARS THAT THIS ORGANIZATION AS WELL AS CHRYSLER WAS AWARE OF THIS SITUATION. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION AND HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH IT FOR SOME TIME NOW. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS MY WHOLE FAMILY WAS AT STAKE! PLEASE ADVISE THE NEXT COURSE OF ACTION. I AM GOING TO CONTACT MY LOCAL DEALER AS A START. ATTACHING A NEWS ARTICLE ON THE SITUATION..

Mileage: 60,000

AFTER FILLING MY CAR WITH GAS IT RUNS ROUGH AND STALLS SEVERAL TIMES WHILE MOVING. AFTER RESTARTING IT SEVERAL TIMES IT SEEMS OK UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I FILL THE GAS AGAIN. WHEN IT STALLS IT SOUNDS LIKE THE DRIVETRAIN IS MESSING UP. IT DOES THIS CITY HIGHWAY TURNING OR STRAIGHT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING REGULARLY FOR AT LEAST 6 WEEKS ONLY RIGHT AFTER FILLING AND SPORADICALLY FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS OR MORE.

Mileage: 130,000

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM AND I WENT INTO THE CLEANERS TO DROP MY CLOTHES OFF. I WENT IN THE CLEANERS AND CAME OUT AND ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE SHOP AND THE MECHANIC STATED IT WAS MY ENGINE WAS OUT. I THINK ITS THE TIMING CHAIN. I SEEN RECALLS FOR MY ENGINE BUT THEY STATE ITS FOR THE NEWER VERSION OF THE HEMI BUT I THINK ITS ALL THE SAME RECALL. I GET MY CAR MAINTENANCE AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ENGINE PROBLEMS, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS , LOSS AF POWER. THERE WERE LITERALLY NO SIGNS. I HAD GOT MY OIL CHANGED AT THE DEALERSHIP WITHIN A MONTH OF THE INCIDENT.

Mileage: 130,000

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK TO A FULL CONDITION THE ENGINE WILL DIE SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CAR/ENGINE WILL STALL UNEXPECTEDLY AFTER LEAVING GAS STATION OFTEN IN A PERILOUS POSITION. DOES NOT HAPPEN UNLESS CAR IS OVER 3/4 FULL OF FUEL. IF THE CAR IS FILLED UP IT CAN DIE ANYTIME AT ANY MOMENT.

Mileage: 88,000

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, THE ENGINE WILL STALL AND SHUT OFF AT AN IDLE. THIS HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. ONCE I MAKE IT HOME AFTER IT STALLS 2 TO 3 TIME AND IT SITS OVER NIGHT IT IS FINE THE NEXT DAY. THE ENGINE STALLS WHEN SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AT IDLE SPEEDS.

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM THAT I TAKE EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF. MY CAR HAS HAD ALL OF IT'S REGULAR MAINTENANCE. A MONTH AGO I STOPPED AT THE LUBE SHOP TO HAVE THE FLUIDS AND AIR PRESSURE CHECKED ON MY CAR BEFORE I HEADED OUT OF TOWN. THE ONLY FLUID THAT WAS TOPPED OFF WAS MY WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID. WHEN I TRIED TO START MY CAR TO LEAVE, IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO DODGE. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS INFORMED BY MY SERVICE WRITER THAT I NEEDED A NEW MOTOR. DODGE TOLD ME THAT I DROPPED A #4 VALVE SEAT. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS "REALLY, REALLY, REALLY RARE" AND THAT ONLY ABOUT "1 IN A BILLION" THIS HAPPENS TO. I AM CRUSHED. I WENT HOME AND HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IN DEPTH. THIS IS NOT RARE LIKE DODGE CLAIMS. I HAVE COME ACROSS 100'S OF OTHER DODGE OWNERS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WHO ARE NOW LEFT HOLDING THE BAG. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. MOST OF THE VEHICLES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ARE ALREADY OUT OF WARRANTY. DODGE IS AWARE OF THE FAULTY VALVE SEATS THAT ARE BASICALLY (FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM) GLUED IN. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THIS IS GOING TO OCCUR. MY CAR NEVER GOT HOT, NEVER SMOKED, NEVER BURNED OIL, NEVER HESITATED, NEVER RAN ROUGH; IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN A CAR IS BEING STARTED AND THAT IS WHY IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED, BECAUSE IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A "SAFETY" ISSUE. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THE NEW MODELS HAVE THE VALVE SEATS PRESSED AND PINNED IN SO THIS ISSUE DOESN'T CONTINUE TO OCCUR. RECOGNIZING THAT THERE WAS A FLAW IN THE HEMI MOTOR AND RE-ENGINEERING IT TO FIX THE ISSUE IS ADMITTING THERE WAS A DEFECT. DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL THE 2005-2007 HEMI MOTORS AND ADDRESS THE DROPPING VALVE SEATS. THIS IS NOT FAIR AND DODGE KNOWS IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS.

TAKATA RECALL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON RUNNING HOT ACTS LIKE ITS GOING TO STALL

ON MAY 2, 1016 I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LUBE SHOP TO HAVE MY FLUIDS TOPPED OFF AND MY AIR PRESSURE CHECKED BEFORE I LEFT TOWN. I DROVE MY CAR IN AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED OUT. AFTER LOOKING AT MY VEHICLE, DODGE TOLD ME I HAVE A BLOWN VALVE SEAT. MY CAR PURRED LIKE A KITTEN. IT NEVER OVERHEATED, DIDN'T BURN OIL, NEVER SMOKED, DIDN'T MAKE ANY KNOCKING NOISES...NOTHING. THERE WAS NO WARNING! THE SERVICE MANAGER LOOKED ME SQUARE IN THE FACE AND LIED TO ME SAYING, THIS PROBLEM IS "REALLY, REALLY, REALLY RARE" BUT THAT I WAS BASICALLY SCREWED SINCE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ALL WEEK AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT RARE AND DODGE IS FULLY AWARE OF THE DEFECT IN THE VALVE SEAT. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS. SO YOU BUY A CAR AND EXPECT THAT SINCE YOU KEEP IT WELL MAINTAINED WITH ALL MAINTENANCE ROUTINELY DONE AND IT DOESN'T MATTER...IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE...CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHEN DODGE TOLD ME THIS WAS "REALLY, REALLY, REALLY RARE" THEY ADMITTED TO BEING AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIGN FLAW IN THE HEMI WITH THE VALVE SEATS DROPPING. I PLAN ON STARTING A PETITION THAT WOULD CAUSE DODGE TO HAVE TO INITIATE A RECALL ON THIS DEFECTIVE MOTOR. THIS IS NOT FAIR. I HAD MY CAR AT DODGE LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AGO FOR A HEMI TUNE-UP AND WHEN I ASKED THE MECHANIC IF HE SAW ANY FOREWARNING OF THIS HE SAID ABSOLUTELY NOT. THIS CAR WAS SO PERFECTLY MAINTAINED THAT AFTER I HAD IT THERE FOR SERVICE, THE SALES DEPARTMENT CALLED ME TWO DIFFERENT TIMES ASKING IF I WANTED TO SELL MY CAR TO THEM. I AM GOING TO GET SATISFACTION FOR THIS FAILURE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

I HAVE HAD AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MY 2005 DODGE MAGNUM RT 5.7L 58,000 MI ON IT. AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK , THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN DURING DRIVING MANY TIMES BEFORE FINALLY GOING AGAIN. ALL POWER INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING GOES. I DIDN'T RELATE THE PROBLEM AT FIRST WITH FUELING , THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW YEARS. I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALER A FEW YEARS AGO , AND HAD THE PCM , AND OTHER PARTS REPLACED , STALLED ON THE WAY HOME. NOTHING HAS WORKED SO FAR. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES . I DON'T EVEN TRUST IT TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY , AND I DON'T LIKE EVEN PUTTING MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR , BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW, IT COULD STALL ANYWHERE, I PLANNED ON KEEPING THIS CAR FOR A LONG TIME I STILL HAVE VERY LOW MILES ON IT., AND NOW I FEAR IT. DODGE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY RECALLS ON THIS , BUT I HAVE SEEN SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE FUEL TANK REPLACED STATING IT IS THE ROLLOVER VALVE. JUST BECAUSE THESE CARS ARE OLDER DOESN'T MEAN WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM UP . DODGE PLEASE HELP! WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM IN 85+% OF THE CARS

CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO WERE UNWILLING TO ASSIST WITH AN ISSUE BUT ADMIT WARRANTY EXTENSION TO THE FUEL TANK'S MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE FUEL SHUTOFF FLOAT IN THE 19-GALLON TANKS. I FOUND NHTSA COMMENT IN ITS SUMMARY OF THE CLOSED INVESTIGATION. "THE CONDITION REPRESENTS A LOW RISK TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY AND IS ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER'S EXTENDED WARRANTY." I DISAGREE WITH NHTSA COMMENTS WHETHER THIS IS "LOW RISK TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY". TRY TO BE STALLED ON THE LANE WHEN 20 TON DUMP TRUCK IS APPROACHING 50-60 MILES PER HOUR.

AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL THE CAR HAS A TENDENCY TO STALL AT INTERSECTIONS OR STOP AND TURNS. ALSO WILL SURGE OR LOOSE POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. USUALLY ONLY LAST FOR 0-15 MILES OR SO AND THEN GOES AWAY UNTIL NEXT FILL UP. I BELIEVE THIS FAULT IS DUE TO A FUEL TANK ISSUE, THAT WHEN FILLED CAUSES FUEL TO BE SHUT OFF TO ENGINE. POSSIBILITY FOR BEING REAR ENDED ARE VERY GREAT WITH THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. ESPECIALLY IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS.

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN ROW WHILE FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE. ONCE THE FILL UP IS COMPLETE AND THE CAR IS DRIVEN AWAY, WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR WILL STALL AND UPON RESTARTING WILL STALL AGAIN UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING.

WE HAVE HAD THIS STALLING ISSUE FOR YEARS. WE ARE THE ONLY OWNER OF OUR 2005 DODGE MAGNUM WITH A HEMI. WE KNOW THIS CAR. I FILLED UP AT GAS STATION A COUPLE MONTHS AGO & RIGHT AFTER FILL UP PULLED INTO THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR DIED..TOOK A FEW TRIES TO RESTART THEN RESTARTED, AND THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME YOU FILL THE GAS TANK. I HAVE REPORTED THIS BEFORE AND TALKED WITH DODGE BUT OUR VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED. WHY IS DODGE NOT MAKING GOOD ON THE INVESTIGATION DONE BY THE NHTSA. WE HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND REQUIRE THE SAME EXACT FIX AND THEY STILL REFUSE TO COVER THE FAULTY TANK DESIGN. IT WILL COST OVER 2K TO GET THIS FIXED. WHY ARE SOME CARS COVERED AND OTHER CARS ARE NOT COVERED? WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT YEARS FOR THIS TO GET RESOLVED? *TR

JUST AFTER FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION I STARTED THE VEHICLE PUT IT IN DRIVE AND STARTED TO PROCEED MAKING IT ABOUT 10 FEET WHEN THE CAR STALLED CAUSING ME TO LOOSE MY POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. AGAIN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND STARTED TO PROCEED ONTO THE ROAD WHEN MY VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN CAUSING ME TO LOSE MY POWER STEERING AND CROSS OVER THE YELLOW LINE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC...., LUCKILY THE CAR APPROACHING ME SWERVED TO MISS MY VEHICLE WHICH WOULD HAVE HIT HIM HEAD ON. I THEN PROCEEDED TO THE EXPRESSWAY THINKING THAT MAYBE MY INJECTORS OR SOMETHING GOT CLOGGED DURING THE FILL UP SO I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IF I WERE TO GET THE VEHICLE GOING FASTER MAKING MORE FUEL GO THRU THE FUEL SYSTEM AND INJECTORS THAT MAYBE WHATEVER IT WAS WOULD UNCLOG IT., THIS WAS DEFINITELY A BAD IDEA NOW EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE DID ACCELERATE UP TO 65 MPG IT THEN DECIDED TO STALL AGAIN CAUSING ME TO LOOSE MY POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE BERM AND RESTART IT LUCKILY NOT CAUSING ANY ACCIDENTS AND NURSED THE VEHICLE HOME HAVING IT STALL 6 MORE TIMES. I GOT HOME AND GOOGLED MY PROBLEM TO FIND THAT SIMILAR DODGE AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME YEARS AND MOTORS AND FUEL SYSTEM WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THESE CARS WERE THE 2006 CHARGERS AND ALSO THE CHRYSLER 300. IT SEEMS THAT THERE ALREADY SEEMS TO BE AN OPEN CASE (# PE13-016) FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED THE DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR MY VEHICLE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND..., THIS IS THE SAME ENGINE AND FUEL SYSTEM AS THE OTHER CARS THAT WERE MENTIONED IN THE OTHER CASE AND I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME LIFE THREATENING PROBLEMS AS THOSE OTHER VEHICLES IN QUESTION. DODGE KNOWS THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE MAGNUM R/T BUT IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX IT. IT'S A SHAME. *TR

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

WE HAVE A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CAR WOULD STALL AND SHUT OFF. WE HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED, INSTEAD OF A RECALL, THEY CHANGED IT OUT WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE FUEL PUMP.

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM (45000) ACTUAL MILES WITH THE 3.5 HIGH OUTPUT ENGINE. WHEN THE CARE IS STARTED IT MAKES A HIGH END VALVE COVER ROCKER ARE NOISE. I TOOK IT TO DODGE TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT, THEIR RESPONSE WAS YEP TYPICAL 3.5 L MOTOR. THEY SAID THAT IS I PURCHASE THE PARTS THEY WILL INSTALL AT DISCOUNTED RATE. THE PARTS ARE $345.00 PER SIDE. SO NEARLY $1500.00 TO GET THIS FIXED THAT SHOULD BE FIXED UNDER A RECALL STATUS. DOING INTERNET RESEARCH, TALKING TO OTHER OWNERS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WE ARE ALL IN AGREEMENT. THE CONSUMER IS GETTING THE SHAFT ON THIS ONE. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THE BRACKET THAT MOUNTS TO THE CYLINDER AND IS LINED UP INTO PLACE VIA A STEEL DOWEL PIN, THE PIN IS SHEARING OFF FORCING THE ROCKER ARM SHAFT TO ROTATE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE OIL GALLEYS THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO LUBRICATE THE TOP END OF THE ENGINE IS NOT GETTING THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF OIL. THIS CAUSES THE ROCKERS TO GET OUT OF ALIGNMENT, CAUSES EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE SHAFT HOLDING THE ARMS, AND THEN JUST WIPES OUT THE TOP END. PLEASE HELP THOSE OF US THAT CANNOT SEEM TO CATCH A BREAK ON THIS PROBLEM. IMAGINE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 75 MPH AND THE ENGINE LETS GO. IT WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR MANY THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED. DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NO HELP, THEY SIMPLY DO NOT REPLY TO EMAILS. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK WITH REGULAR 87 OCTANE AND TRAVELING LESS THAN A MILE THE VEHICLE STALLED. I WOULD RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD STALL AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL ABOUT 10-15 MILES IT WOULD SUBSIDE. I REALIZED AFTER SEVERAL FILL UPS THERE MUST BE A CORRELATION SO I TOOK MY 2005 V8 MAGNUM INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT WOULD COST BETWEEN 1,500 TO 2 GRAND TO EVALUATE AND FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH THEY THOUGHT HAD TO DO WITH THE FUEL TANK. SINCE I COULD NOT AFFORD THE REPAIR COST THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO STOP SHORT OF FILLING UP THE TANK. NO STALLS OCCURRED IF I WOULD FILL UP THE TANK 3/4. THIS WENT ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS UNTIL ONE DAY I WAS DISTRACTED AND FILLED THE TANK UP 100%. IT DID NOT STALL AT LOW SPEEDS BUT WHEN I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY STALLED AT 55 LEAVING ME IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION (NOT HAVING CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL). FORTUNATELY I WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO MANIPULATE THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS FEARFUL TO BEGIN AGAIN AT HIGH SPEEDS SO I PLACED MY FLASHERS ON AND TRAVELED SEVERAL MILES AT 35 MPH WITH SEVERAL STALLS TO FOLLOW. NOW IT IS MAY OF 2014 AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO WARRANTY OR RECALL NOTICED ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

DROVE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AT 70F AMBIENT. TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND WAS AWAY FROM IT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. RESTARTED ENGINE AND IT HAD LITTLE IF ANY COMPRESSION AND MADE A BAD METAL BANGING SOUND WHEN STARTED. ENGINE DESTROYED.

MY DODGE MAGNUM R/T, 2005, PERIODICALLY STALLS FOR THE FIRST SEVERAL MILES AFTER A FILL-UP. THIS WAS SPORATIC AT FIRST, BUT NOW HAPPENS WITH NEARLY EVERY FILL-UP. NORMALLY IT WILL BE A MOMENTARY EVENT WHILE UNDER POWER, BUT IF I AM STOPPED AND IDLING THE ENGINE WILL DIE. IT WILL TYPICALLY RESTART RIGHT AWAY. *TR

IF I FILL MY TANK AND I DRIVE IT AWAY FROM THE PUMP, IT WILL STUTTER, HESITATE, JERK, THEN DIE. I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ENGINE. AFTERWARDS, IT WON'T IMMEDIATELY RESTART. IT WILL START AGAIN AFTER A FEW MINUTES. IT WON'T START DRIVING GOOD AGAIN UNTIL I RUN THE GAS LEVEL DOWN A LITTLE. AFTER I FILL, IT WILL RUN OK UNTIL I MAKE A TURN OR COME TO A STOP, SOMETHING THAT WILL SLOSH THE FUEL IN THE TANK AGAIN THEN IT WILL ACT LIKE IT IS STARVED FOR FUEL. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I FILL MY TANK. IF I DON'T FILL IT COMPLETELY THEN IT WILL DO IT. IT NEVER DID THIS WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY CAR. ONE TIME AFTER I THIS HAPPENED, I OPENED THE GAS CAP AND IT WAS HISSING AND SPITTING GAS JUST SITTING THERE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY I COULD BECOME INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST A HALF DOZEN TIME AND HAVE SINCE NOT FILLED MY TANK UP UNTIL TODAY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR

Mileage: 68,000

AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK WITHOUT TOPPING OFF, MY CAR STALLS WITHIN THE FIRST 300 FEET OF THE GAS STATION AND IS THEN HARD TO START. ONCE IT'S RESTARTED, FOR THE NEXT 40-60 MILES OF DRIVING, MY CAR HESITATES AND WILL OFTEN STALL AT ANY LOW SPEEDS OR STOPS UNLESS I DROP IT INTO NEUTRAL AND REV IT UP. 60-100 MILES AFTER A FULL TANK, THE CAR WILL BUCK WHEN COMING OUT OF A TURN AND THEN STALL IF I LET OFF THE GAS. *TR

RUNNING LOW ON GAS ON JANUARY 15TH I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO REFUEL. I PURCHASED 91 OCTANE, PLACED THE NOZZLE IN THE GAS TANK TUBE AND BEGAN TO REFUEL. ONCE THE PUMP CLICKED I REPLACED THE GAS NOZZLE, TIGHTENED THE GAS CAP, STARTED THE CAR AND DROVE OFF. LESS THAN TWO MINUTES LATER AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON. I QUICKLY PLACED THE GEAR IN PARK, AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE. AFTER TRYING THREE TIMES IT FINALLY TURNS OVER AND I AM ABLE TO DRIVE OFF. ONE MINUTE LATER IT SHUTS OFF AGAIN AS I AM BEGINNING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY. SAME SCENARIO AS BEFORE. NOW EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK TO THE POINT WHERE THE GAS NOZZLE CLICKS THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN THE FIRST 10 MILES OF DRIVING. *TR

JUST BOUGHT THE CAR, FILLED UP THE FUEL TANK AT GAS STATION AND WENT FOR A DRIVE. AT THE FIRST STOP LIGHT I CAME TO THE CAR STALLED WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO STOP COASTED TO A STOP AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, RESUMED DRIVING AND IT WAS DRIVING OK GOT ONTO THE ON-RAMP TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL THE FUEL LEVEL WENT DOWN AFTER DRIVING. *TR

BOUGHT A USED 2005 DODGE MAGNUM 5.7L RT IN 2011. I'VE HAD MULTIPLE STALLING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. LIKES TO STALL RIGHT AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. ALSO STALLS WITH GAS TANK AT NEARLY EMPTY. CAN SOMETIMES STALL WHEN MAKING RIGHT/LEFT TURNS OR U-TURNS AT INTERSECTIONS. I'VE LEARNED TO ONLY FILL UP TO HALF A TANK, BUT ISSUES STILL OCCUR. THE VEHICLE ALWAYS STALLS WHEN GOING UP A RAMP IN A MULTIPLE STORY PARKING GARAGE. WHEN GOING UP THE RAMP, JUST AS THE CAR BEGINS TO GET LEVEL WITH THE FLOOR AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP, THE VEHICLE STALLS JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME. SEEMS LIKE A GAS TANK FUEL PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT A SAFETY FEATURE BUILT INTO THE VEHICLE TURNS THE ENGINE OFF IN THE EVENT OF FUEL DETECTION IN AN AREA OF THE GAS TANK WHERE NO GAS SHOULD BE. MOST LIKELY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT LEADING TO ROLL OVER OF THE VEHICLE. THIS APPEARS TO BE MALFUNCTIONING. POSSIBLE FLAW IN THE DESIGN. CHRYSLER/DODGE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE THEIR VEHICLE STALLED WHILE MAKING A SIMPLE U-TURN OR WHILE DRIVING HIGH SPEEDS ON A HIGHWAY. PUBLIC SAFETY SHOULD SUPERSEDE ANY COST CONCERNS THE COMPANY MAY HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE ENGINE ON THE 2005 DODGE MAGNUM 3.5L HAS A PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE. IN THIS CASE AND CITING A TSB FROM DODGE THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ROCKER ARMS, VALVES, AND EGR VALVE THAT ALLOWS THIS ENGINE TO MAKE A LOT OF NOISE. I CONTACTED DODGE DIRECTLY AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP OUT. I THINK SOMEONE FROM YOUR DEPT SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM IT DOES NOT ONLY AFFECT THE MAGNUM BUT ANY DODGE VEHICLE WITH THIS MOTOR. *TR

WENT OUT TO START THE CAR ON 11/7/13 AND COULD NOT GET THE SHIFT OUT OF PARK. CALLED THE DODGE DEALER AND HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG. CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND THE OWNER SAID THAT HE ALSO KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG AND THAT HIS SMALL TOWING SERVICE HAD TOWED HUNDREDS OF CHRYSLER / DODGE CARS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MY PROBLEM - CANNOT GET OUT OF PARK. I ALSO CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY KNEW OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THAT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED - ONLY CERTAIN VIN'S ARE COVERED. IF THERE ARE 100'S OF CARS JUST IN MY SMALL LOCATION, THERE MUST BE 1000'S, IF NOT TENS OF THOUSANDS AFFECTED VEHICLES NATION WIDE. I WILL ALSO MENTION THAT THE MANUAL OVERRIDE FOR THE SHIFTER DID NOT WORK, SO MY CAR HAD TO BE DRAGGED ONTO THE TOW TRUCK. I FEEL THAT THIS IS NOT ONLY A COSTLY PROBLEM FOR CAR OWNERS, BUT A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL. WHAT IF YOU PUT THE CAR IN PARK WHILE YOU WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND THEN COULD NOT MOVE? I COULD LIST OTHER SITUATIONS AS WELL - ALL SAFETY ISSUES. I WOULD ASK THAT A TOTAL RECALL OF ALL VEHICLES EFFECTED BE ISSUED. THANKS. *TR

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. *TR

WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR SHUTS DOWN. THIS FIRST OCCURRED AT A RED LIGHT. THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE KEY AND RESTART IT WITHOUT PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE AT A STOP, WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, IN TOWN DRIVING, HIGHWAY DRIVING, WHEN IT'S HOT OUTSIDE, WHEN IT'S COOL OUTSIDE, WHEN IDLING. THERE ARE NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS (ENGINE, OIL, ETC). THERE ARE NO SOUNDS, NO SHUDDERING, NO KICKING. MY ONLY INDICATION THAT THE CAR HAS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF IS THAT THE TACH NEEDLE GOES IMMEDIATELY TO ZERO. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO USE THE MOMENTUM OF THE VEHICLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AT WHICH TIME I TURN THE KEY TO OFF, WAIT A MOMENT, AND TURN IT BACK ON. IT RESTARTS WITHOUT PROBLEMS. IF I TRY TO RESTART TOO QUICKLY, THERE SEEMS TO BE A HESITATION IN STARTING. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR MANY PARTS ON THE VEHICLE BUT IT HAS NOT CURED THE PROBLEM.*JB

MOVING AT VERY SLOW SPEED, ENGINE STALLS. COME TO STOP - PUT IN PARK AND THEN RESTART. RESTARTS ON FIRST TRY, HOWEVER, THERE IS A NOTABLE 'SOUND' UPON IGNITION - ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE A 'POP' OR 'RELEASE'. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROX TEN TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. NOTHING IS SO CONSISTENT WITH EACH SITUATION THAT CAN CONCLUSIVELY SAY WHAT/IF THE CAUSE IS. LUCKILY HAS NOT OCCURRED YET ON HIGHWAY, ETC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE LIGHT BULB WARNING ICON. THE FAILURE RECURRED FORTY TIMES OVER SEVERAL YEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND WOULD MOSTLY RECUR AFTER THE CONTACT REFUELED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

AFTER FUELING UP THE VEHICLE TO A FULL TANK THE CAR SEEMS TO WANT TO STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS HAPPENED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN A SPAN OF 3 STOP LIGHTS AND WHEN YOU GO TO RESTART THE CAR IT DOESN'T WANT TO START RIGHT AWAY LEAVING YOU VULNERABLE AT A STOP LIGHT JUST SITTING THERE. *TR

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! *TR

THE CAR STARTED NORMALLY AFTER SITTING IN A PARKING LOT FOR 30 MINUTES. WHEN THE CAR WAS PLACED IN REVERSE, THE CAR LURCHED BACKWARDS AND BEGAN ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN. I QUICKLY APPLIED THE BRAKES AND STOPPED THE CAR AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RACE FROM IDLE TO 3000RPM. I REPEATEDLY TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR AND THE SAME ISSUE AROSE. FINALLY THE CAR SETTLED DOWN AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD AND I REPLACED IT. SAME ISSUE REAPPEARED AND I WAS THEN TOLD IT NEEDED TO BE INITIALIZED TO THE NEW THROTTLE BODY. THE DAY AFTER HAVING THE WORK DONE AT THE DEALER THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN IN TRAFFIC. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE PCM'S IN THIS PARTICULAR CAR. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER HAS A CAR ON THE ROAD THAT WHEN THE PCM FAILS, THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN. CHRYSLER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR
