ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
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

AIR BAGS
The contact's wife owns a 2005 Dodge Magnum. The contact stated that his wife had received a recall notice for NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V352000 (Air Bags). His wife had taken the vehicle to the dealer to have the recall serviced; however, upon return of the vehicle, the passenger’s side air bag off warning light illuminated. His wife took the vehicle back to the dealer where she was informed that she had to pay a diagnostic fee for an inspection. The contact then notified the manufacturer and he was informed that if the diagnostic determined that the dealer was at fault for the failure, he would be reimbursed. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, AIR BAGS, ENGINE
The engine in my 2006 dodge Magnum has begun stalling out after fueling precisely as described in NHTSA action number PE13016. The first time it happened I was in the middle of a U-turn at a busy intersection. The engine died and I lost power steering and power brakes. I was able to brute-force the steering wheel and narrowly avoided hopping the curb and hitting the light pole on the corner. This light pole might have just as easily been a pedestrian. I called my local Dodge dealer (Ontario Dodge, Ontario California) to explain the problem and arrange to bring the car in. I let them know that I was aware that this issue was addressed under NHTSA action number PE13016 and should be covered under the lifetime warranty extension. I was told by the service adviser that I am required to drop off my car and that it would be 7-10 days before they would look at it. I suggested that they put me on a list and I could bring my car in 7-10 days at a time when they were able to look at it. They were unwilling to do this. They're insisting that my car sit in their lot for 7-10 days before they will even look at it. This isn't a scheduling issue. I can go on their website today and schedule my car for any other service tomorrow. No, this is a punitive action. Clearly they don't want to do the repairs and they're hoping I'll just go away by making it unreasonably difficult; not to mention expensive considering that a rental car will now be required. Chrysler and their dealers are not acting in good faith with regards to their agreement with the NHTSA and PE13016. In my experience and opinion they're doing whatever they can to evade these repairs. I'm a little disappointed that a full recall wasn't ordered. The agreement the NHTSA made with Chrysler left them with a little too much wiggle room in my opinion.

AIR BAGS
ON AROUND NOVEMBER LATE OR BEGINNING DECEMBER OF 2020 I COME OUT OF THE STORE AND MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG HAD DEPLOYED. AT THIS TIME BEING UNABLE TO DRIVE I GOT THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC SHOP TO SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE TO MAKE DRIVEABLE. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT HE FIXED IN ORDER TO MAKE DRIVEABLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACE THE (FIXED) THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT DIDNT DO THE DRIVER SIDE BECAUSE THEY SAID IS WAS FOR THE DEFLATER AND NOT FOR THE BAG ITSELF SO THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT. SO THEY WANT ME TO PAY MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT TO ME IS A MANUFACTURER DEFAULT. I THINK IT IS UNFAIR FOR ME TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR.
