FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
BEGINNING ABOUT APRIL 2007 (I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN JUNE 2004), I BEGAN HAVING A PROBLEM AFTER EVERY REFUELING - THE CAR STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING. IT TAKES 3 OR 4 ATTEMPTS AT RESTART, THEN STARTS, ONLY TO STALL WITHIN 5 MINUTES OR SO OF MORE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES, AND MY CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND IT WILL NOT MISBEHAVE FOR THE DEALER. IT SEEMS THAT IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS BELOW 1/4 TANK AT REFUELING, SO I HAVE AVOIDED PROBLEMS BY FILLING UP BEFORE THAT POINT. HOWEVER, I TESTED IT TODAY, DROVE IT BELOW 1/4 TANK, REFUELED, AND IT DID IT AGAIN. NOTE - I ONLY USE THE APPROPRIATE GRADE GAS AND ONLY CHEVRON - NEVER ANY OTHER BRAND. I NEVER TOP OFF. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER TO CHECK THE FUEL FILTER, FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM, TO NO AVAIL. THEY INSIST THAT THE "COMPUTER SAYS ITS FINE" THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THE CAR STALLS WHILE I AM DRIVING, NOT JUST IDLING. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN MISFIRING JUST DAYS AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE HESITATES AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE POWER IS UNEVENLY DISTRIBUTED IN THE ENGINE, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE COILS TO BURN. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BURNED ENGINE COILS AT THE COST OF $400, HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE LOSS OF FIRE. THE DEALER ALSO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE VEHICLE, BUT LESS THAN A WEEK LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE STALLED ON FOUR OCCASIONS AND IS CURRENTLY UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DODGE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON AUGUST 27, 2007 AND THE FAILURE RECURRED ON AUGUST 28, 2007. THE CONTACT IS AWARE OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 48,000.

SUSPENSION, TIRES
PREMATURE TIRE WEAR ON MY O5 DODGE MAGNUM R/T. I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT TIRES AT 10K MILES DUE TO THEM CUPPING AND BALDING ON THE OUTSIDE EDGES. I DID THIS AND HAD THE FRONT END CHECKED OUT. THEN AT 35K MILES I HAD TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN!I THEN TOOK IT TO A FRONT END SHOP AND THEY ALIGNED IT AND SAID THE FACTORY HAS A BAD SET OF SPECS AS IT WILL WEAR OUT THE TIRES IN NO TIME!THIS IS NOT NORMAL OR RIGHT!

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:CARBURETOR SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING THE 2005 DODGE MAGNUM TODAY AND I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT STOP ACCELERATING UNTIL IT HIT ABOUT 6000 RPMS. I BRAKED, AND IT HAD NO AFFECT ON THE INCREASING SPEED. I HAD TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE TO GET CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATOR WAS AN UNNERVING EXPERIENCE. THE LOCAL DEALER 'S SHOP SAID THIS WAS DUE TO CARBON BUILD UP IN THE BITTERLY. THIS CAR HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT. IF THAT IS THE RESULT OF CARBON BUILD UP PREPARE FOR MORE COMPLAINTS SUCH AS THIS ONE . THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. WHEN YOU STAND ON THE BRAKES AND THE CAR GOES FASTER SOMETHING IS PLAIN WRONG. *AK

STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
MY HUSBAND WAS HAVING THE NEW 2006 DODGE MAGNUM FOR MAINTENANCE AND THE MECHANIC TOLD HIM THAT HIS PASSENGER'S SIDE TIE ROD WAS LOOSE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOW, THIS WAS VERY STRANGE, ESPECIALLY SINCE ITS WAS A 2006. MODEL. WHEN WE INQUIRED AT THE DODGE DEALER ABOUT THIS MISHAP THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM YET, BUT THEY HAD COMPLAINTS, PEOPLE WERE BRINGING THEIR CARS IN FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE UNFORTUNATE THING WAS THAT PEOPLE WERE GOING ELSEWHERE TO HAVE IT FIXED BECAUSE IT WAS TOO COSTLY TO HAVE IT DONE AT THE DEALER. THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE FOR THE WHOLE RACK AND PINION INSTEAD OF JUST THE TIE ROD THAT WA SLOOSE. IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT MY HUSBAND'S FRIEND HAD THE SAME VEHICLE AND HE TOO JUST PAID AN ARM AND LEG TO HAV THE TIE ROD FIXED, AND HIS TOO WA S A 2006. NOW, I DID NOT KNOW HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE OUT THERE HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT IT WAS TOO COINCIDENTAL. WHEN I WENT OUT RESEARCHING TO SEE HOW MUCH THIS WAS GOING TO COST, EVERY MECHANIC I SPOKE WITH ASKED THE SAME THING, AND IT WAS ONLY A 2006?" I AM STILL SHOPPING AROUND TO SEE WHO WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR ME, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW. HOPEFULLY OTHERS WILL COMPLAIN AS I DID, AND WE COULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM REIMBURSED OR FIXED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT
MY SON, AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY TURNED NORTH ON CHAFFEE ROAD TO GO HOME. HE WENT TO CHANGE LANES INTO THE LEFT LANE WHERE THE ROAD TURNED TO A FOUR LANE ROAD AND, AS REPORTED BY A WITNESS, SMOKE CAME OUT FROM THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE AREA AND THE CAR SWUNG TO THE RIGHT HITTING A POLE. AS WITNESSED, THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING NO MORE THAN 25 MPH. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT AND THE ENTIRE FRONT RIGHT SUSPENSION BEAT THE CAR TO THE SCENE OF THE CRASH. IT WAS LYING IN FRONT OF THE CAR. IF IT WERE ON THE VEHICLE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER IT DUE TO THE WAY THE POLE TOOK OUT THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR ALL THE WAY INTO THE PASSENGERS COMPARTMENT. THE POLICE REPORTED IT AS A MECHANICAL FAILURE.*AK

WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS
WHILE ROTATING THE TIRES I QUICKLY NOTICED THE LUG NUTS SEEMED TO BE INSTALLED VERY TIGHT. THEY WERE, IN FACT, INSTALLED ABOVE THE SPECIFIED 100 LB. FT. THEY WERE ON SO TIGHT THAT THE PERMANENT CHROME CAPS STRIPED OFF 2 SEPARATE NUTS! I THEN USED A SMALLER SIZE SOCKET TO REMOVE THESE LUG NUTS. ON ANOTHER WHEEL I COULD NOT, BY NO MEANS AVAILABLE, REMOVE 2 OF 6 LUG NUTS. THE TOOLS I USED WERE; A CONVENTIONAL SOCKET WRENCH WITH THE SPECIFIED 21MM SOCKET, AIR WRENCH W/220LB OF TORQUE, AND EVEN THE WRENCH THAT IS INCLUDED WITH THE JACK AND SPARE. THIS NOW LEFT ME WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO PUT THE OTHER WHEELS BACK ON THE CAR AND HEAD OFF TO THE DODGE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THEY WORKED ON IT FOR 2HRS. AND WERE ONLY ABLE TO REMOVE 1 OF THE 2 STUCK LUG NUTS. AFTER ANOTHER HALF HOUR, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CUT THE WHEEL OFF TO GET THE OTHER LUG NUT OFF. I WOULD HAVE TO BRING BACK THE CAR THE NEXT DAY WHILE THEY ORDERED ANOTHER RIM. I DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF AT 7:00AM THE NEXT DAY AND IT WAS FINISHED AT 11:30AM. I WASN'T ABLE TO PICK IT UP UNTIL 6:30PM. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS CORROSION. (WHICH THERE WERE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF AND THE PROBLEM CAN BE REPEATED) THEY DID REPLACE THE WHEEL, 2 STUDS, & 2 NUTS UNDER WARRANTY. THEY ALSO SAID THEY RE-TORQUE EACH LUG NUT TO SPECS. (100 LB FT) THE NEXT DAY I DECIDED TO FINISH THE TIRE ROTATION. IN THIS PROCESS ANOTHER CHROME CAP STRIPPED OFF. THIS LED ME TO REALIZE THAT THE OE NUTS ARE HARDER TO GET OFF THAN THE NEW ONES THAT WERE PUT ON. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I VISUALLY COMPARED THE OE NUTS WITH THE NEW ONES SIDE BY SIDE. THERE IS INDEED A DIFFERENCE THAT CAN BE SEEN. THE OE ONES HAVE A GOLD TONE TO THEM ON THE UNDERSIDE, WHERE AS THE NEW ONES HAVE A SILVER LOOK ON THE UNDER SIDE AND A MUCH TIGHTER CRIMP ON THE CHROME CAP. ALSO, WHEN EACH LUG NUT IS TORQUE TO SPECS ON THE SAME WHEEL, THE OE IS MUCH HARDER TO REMOVE. UP TO 220 LB FT OF FORCE TO REMOVE. *TR

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
2005 DODGE MAGNUM. PULLED TO RIGHT WHEN FIRST PURCHASED. TIRES WERE ALIGNED AND BALANCED. WEAR ON TIRES. REPLACED TIRES AFTER 18000 MILES DUE TO A BLOWOUT ON RIGHT REAR TIRE. TIRES HAD NO TREAD ON OUTSIDE EDGE AND OVERALL TIRE. DEALER WOULD ONLY PAY FOR TWO TIRES. CAR PULLED TO RIGHT AFTER NEW TIRES INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE HAD ALL FOUR TIRES ALIGNED AND BALANCED. THE DEALER PAID FOR THE ALIGNEMENT AND BALANCE UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE PULLED HARDER TO THE RIGHT AFTER THE ALIGNMENT, CONTACTED THE BUSINESS OF WHERE THE VECHICLE WAS ALIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN AGAIN, AND HAD THE OWNER PERSONALLY CHECK THE VEHICLE BEFORE AND AFTER THE ALIGNMENT. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT COVER THIS CHARGE. THE CAR PULLED HARDER TO THE RIGHT THAN BEFORE. THE CAR HAS 23000, AND THE TIRES WORE OUT AND WILL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN SOON. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
I HAVE NOT HAD A COMPLETE FAILURE. WAITING ON THAT TO HAPPEN. MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A USED 2005 DODGE MAGNUM SE WITH V6, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION)IN LATE MARCH EARLY APRIL OF LAST YEAR FROM A DEALERSHIP. IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 36000 MILES ON IT. WE HAVE NOT HAD THE PULLING TO THE RIGHT EVERYONE ELSE HAD, BUT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS THAT ARE COMMON. I HAVE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AND FELT VIBRATIONS FROM PEDAL ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO STOP COMPLETELY. I EVEN GOT OUT TO LOOK,THINKING I HIT SOMETHING. UPON TAKE OFF, THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT SMOOTHLY. YOU CAN FEEL IT JERK, AND SLAM YOUR HEAD BACK INTO SEAT. A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE POWER OUTLET LOCATED INSIDE THE ASTRAY STOPPED WORKING. IT BLEW A FUSE, WE REPLACED IT. THEN, TWO WEEKS AGO, THE POWER OUTLET IN THE CONSOLE STOPPED WORKING. JUST TWO DAYS AGO, THE BATTERY WENT DEAD FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THREE MONTHS. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY AGAIN. NOW ALL THE SUDDEN THE AC/HEATER STOPPED WORKING. YOU CAN HEAR IT TRYING TO COME ON, BUT THE FAN MOTOR DOESN'T SEEM TO BE COMING ON. SOMETIMES THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL DOWN BY EITHER THE DRIVER'S CONTROLS OR THE BACK CONTROLS. THERE WAS AN OCCASION THIS WEEK THAT THE REAR HATCH WOULDN'T OPEN. MY HUSBAND HAD TO CRAWL THROUGH THE BACK TO OPEN IT. MY HUSBAND HAS ALSO BEEN DRIVING THE CAR TO WORK IN THE MORNING AND THE CAR WON'T ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED. WE'VE NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS SEEM TO SURGE AT NIGHT, TOO. OUR FACTORY INTEGRITY TIRES ALSO HAD THE BELTS BREAK. WE WILL BE TAKING OUR CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, ALONG WITH COPIES OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CONSUMERS. I WAS SO EXCITED TO HAVE A NICE LOOKING CAR. APPARENTLY THATS ALL THAT IS NICE ABOUT IT.*AK

STEERING
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. *JB

IN FEB 2005 I PURCHASED AN 05 DODGE MAGNUM WITH CONTINENTAL TIRES. I NOW HAVE 26000 MILES ON MY CAR AND THE CONTINENTAL TIRES ARE WORN DOWN TO THE WEAR BAR AND MAYBE A BIT MORE. THE RIDE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ROUGH WITH QUESTIONABLE PERFORMANCE IN HIGHER SPEED TURNS AND EVASIVE MANEUVERS. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THESE TIRES AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO KEEP THESE DANGEROUS TIRES OFF THE ROAD. IT WOULD ALSO BE NICE TO HAVE CONTINENTAL TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT TIRES (FROM ANOTHER TIRE COMPANY). *NM
