POWER TRAIN
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

ENGINE
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 CAR WAS WRECKED REALLY BAD.

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.

ENGINE
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
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 WILL BE CONTACTING YOU. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
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
