ENGINE
I HAVE BEEN HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 DODGE MAGNUM RT FOR THE PAST YEAR: 1. CAR STALL AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN (ENGINE WOULD START AGAIN) 2. CAR WILL LOSE POWER (HESITATE FOR ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS AND IT WOULD CHIME) 3. ENGINE DIED ON THE FREEWAY AND HAD TO PULL OVER (VERY DANGEROUS) DODGE REPLACE THE GAS TANK 2 TIMES AND STILL NOT REPAIRED. THE DODGE DEALER IN ELK GROVE CA CHARGED ME $140 AND I ACCORDING TO THE RECALL IT SHOULD BE WAIVED. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

POWER TRAIN
I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR IN JANUARY 2015 AND HAD THE CAR SERVICED AT DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE CAR (2006 DODGE MAGNUM SXT) DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES UPON A 23 POINT INSPECTION ON 2/7/2015. THE CAR BEGAN TO LEAK FLUID, I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON 2/14/2015 AND THE LEAK COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT NO LEAKS WERE PRESENT. ON THE DATE IN QUESTION, I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 30 AND 45 AS THE CAR WAS SHAKING TOWARDS THE BACK WHEELS. AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT AND COMMENCING TO DRIVE AGAIN, THE DRIVE SHAFT OF THE CAR BROKE OFF AND I STOPPED THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. UPON REPORTING THIS TO THE DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH THE DODGE MAGNUM AND THIS IS AN ODD OCCURRENCE. THE CAR WAS MISDIAGNOSED TWICE BUT MORE THAN THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAVE SOMEONE FROM GETTING HURT AS THIS COULD A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION HAD THE CAR BEEN OPERATING AT HIGHER SPEEDS AS THE DRIVE TRAIN SEPARATED FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL WITH GREAT FORCE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CAR FALLS UNDER THE GAS TANK REPLACEMENT PROGRAM BUT THE DEALERS KEEP PUTTING OFF THE REPLACEMENT STATING NO PARTS AVAILABILITY. I WAS RECENTLY NEARLY HIT WHILE MAKING A LEGAL U TURN WHEN THE CAR STALLED TWICE LEAVING ME SIDEWAYS ACROSS 2 LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I DO NOT WANT TO SELL MY CAR BUT THE SITUATION IS SCARY ENOUGH FOR ME TO PARK THE CAR. BUT WAITING A YEAR FOR THE PART IS RIDICULOUS. *TR

ENGINE, SEAT BELTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2 ISSUES: 1) THE CAR STALLS (ENGINE CUTS OFF) SPORADICALLY. IT RESTARTS WITHOUT HESITATION BUT THE STALLS ARE DURING TRANSIT WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. I SEE A LOT OF INSTANCES WHERE THIS COMPLAINT HAS BEEN REPORTED BUT I DON'T SEE ANY RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. 2) WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WITH THE SEAT BELT BUCKLED, THE SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT AND CHIMING CONTINUOUSLY BLINK AND SOUNDS. ALSO, ALL THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD BLINKS SIMULTANEOUSLY PERIODICALLY. NOT SURE IF THAT IS RELATED BUT I DON'T SEE ANY RECALLS CONCERNING THIS. I WILL BE REPORTING THESE TO THE MEDIA FOR ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THESE ISSUES ADDRESSED WITH MY VEHICLE. *TR
