POWER TRAIN
WASN'T ABLE TO GET THE SHIFTER OUT OF PARK, MANAGED TO GET SOMEONE TO HELP ME PUT IN NEUTRAL TO GET THE CAR HOME, NOW I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR A MONTH OR SO BY NOT PUTTING IN PARK, JUST KEEPING IT IN NEUTRAL WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. WOULD LOVE TO GET THIS RESOLVED WITH OUT HAVING TO SPEND MONEY THAT I DON'T HAVE. IT SEEMS THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR YEARS NOW AND YET NO ONE HAS ISSUED DODGE ANY NOTICE TO SUBMIT A RECALL FOR THIS. MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TIME AND MONEY TO BE DEALING WITH THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS, SO THEY END UP IN THE SAME SITUATION AS I AM HAVING TO SPEND MORE TIME SECURING THE CAR SO IT DOESN'T INJURE ANYONE AND AT THE SAME TIME KEEP ME EMPLOYED. PLEASE HELP ME I AM LOW INCOME AND A MOTHER OF 3, I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET SOMETHING REPAIRED WHEN DODGE IS AWARE THAT THERE IS A ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THIS, IF THERE IS SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE IT MAKES IT OBVIOUS THAT IT'S NOT A ACCIDENTAL OR A A THINGS HAPPEN TYPE OF PROBLEM IT MEANS IT IS A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM. JUST SAYING THAT THEY NEED TO STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT AND STOP IGNORING THE FACTS. THEY NEED TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND ISSUE A RECALL AS ANY HONORABLE BUSINESS WOULD.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE
THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON JUST AFTER PURCHASE AND UPON LOWERING THE TILT WHEEL AND DID SO AFTER EVERY SUPPOSED REPAIR. I HAD THIS IN FOR REPAIR 7 TIMES 5 OF WHICH WERE DONE AT WARRENSBURG CHRYSLER IN WARRENSBURG, MISSOURI. BY THE TIME THEY HAD TRIED 5 TIMES AND TORN MY DASH APART SCRATCHING ALL THE LOWER KICK PANELS AND LEAVING ME WITH A DASH THAT RATTLES THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND REFUSED TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE. I THEN CALLED THE DISTRICT REP AND WAS TOLD QUOTE: (WE AIN'T DOING [XXX] ABOUT IT!) AT THIS POINT I GAVE UP BUT DID CONTACT THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION AND NEVER RECEIVED A REPLY. SEEMS AS THOUGH CHRYSLER NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AS IT IS A FAULTY SQIB1 & 2 CABLE THAT IS THE ISSUE LEAVING THE AIRBAG INOPERABLE AND A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM TO TELL AN OWNER OF A VEHICLE WHAT I WAS TOLD SHOWS A TOTAL DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY OR ANY PASSENGER ONBOARD INCLUDING CUSTOMERS THAT ARE OFTEN IN MY VEHICLE. NOTE THAT THE DATE I HAD TO SHOW AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS FORM IS AN APPROXIMATE AND THE DEALER WILL HAVE THE ACTUAL ATTEMPTED REPAIR DATES. NHTSA (NVS-210) INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF, IT REVERSED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE GEAR WAS IN PARK.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V460000 (POWER TRAIN). CERRITOS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (18803 STUDEBAKER RD, CERRITOS, CA 90703, (562) 402-5335) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
05 DODGE MAGNUM HAVING FUEL ISSUES AFTER PUTTING GAS IN THE CAR. WON'T START ON FIRST OR 3RD TIME, IMPROPER FUEL READING AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING SITTING STILL OR JUST RUNNING IN THE YARD. THE CAR STALLS AFTER FILLING UP MOSTLY. THE GAS LIGHT COMES ON AFTER FILLING UP, WHILE DRIVING IT, SITTING STILL. IT NO CERTAIN TIME OR THING FOR THE LIGHT TO COME ON OR FOR THE VEHICLE TO STALL. A STRONG ODAR OF GAS AFTER YOU FILL UP. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS REALLY IN THE CAR. I'VE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMPS ON BOTH SIDES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON BEFORE THE CAR STARTS, WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING IT, OR SITTING AT A LIGHT. I HAVE THE LIGHT TESTED AND IT COMES BACK TO THE FUEL PUMPS. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR LIKE A MONTH NOW. THE PROBLEM CONTINUE AFTER REPLACING BOTH SIDE OF THE FUEL PUMP.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I HAVE FILLED THE FUEL TANK AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED, SOMETIMES IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE GAS STATION, OTHER TIMES ATTEMPTING TO STALL BUT NOT CUTTING OFF, WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO START THE CAR WHEN IT HAS CUT OFF IN THE PARKING LOT, AND IF IT STALLED WHILE DRIVING, I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP IT RUNNING BY "FEATHERING" THE ACCELERATOR UNTIL IT STARTS TO RUN NORMALLY. I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT OTHER OWNERS WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES TO MINE, EACH HAVING THE 6.1L HEMI ENGINE OR THE 5.7 HEMI. IT APPEARS THAT I MAY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, WHERE THE FUEL SHUT-OFF FLOAT FAILS TO PERFORM PROPERLY. I READ THAT THE NHTSA PE13016 WAS ISSUED THAT RELATES TO THIS PROBLEM. I CANNOT PROVIDE A SPECIFIC DATE SINCE I NO LONGER FILL THE TANK. (NOTE THAT I HAVEN'T HAD THE PROBLEM UNLESS I HAVE FILLED THE TANK. MONTHS AGO, I WAS ABLE TO FILL THE TANK WITHOUT EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM, BUT THAT WAS A WHILE BACK. (I ESTIMATED THE LATEST DATE IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THIS FORM.)

THE SHIFT CONTROLLER IS STUCK IN PARK. THIS IS NOT A NEW ISSUE FOR THE MANUFACTURER. THE MECHANIC ORDERED PART WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE 3 WEEKS AGO AND NOW THEY SAY NOV/DEC. THE WARRANTY CO TRIED TO GET THE PART AND IT CAME BACK SAYING JANUARY 2019. SO, EVERYONE'S REQUEST IS GOING TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE GIVEN A BOGUS DATE. ANOTHER CAR (CHRYSLER) HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A MONTH DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THE CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE YOU CANNOT MOVE IT. IT IS A PROBLEM WITH GETTING IT TOWED AS WELL. SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG THAT THESE PARTS ARE NOT BEING RECALLED AFTER BEING WITNESS TO THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. ITS A DISGRACE!

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.
