ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SEATS
THE FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED DIRECTLY UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK SEAT. IT HAS A LEAK, AND MY CAR HAS BEEN SMEELING LIKE GAS FOR A MONTH NOW WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THERE WAS A PODDLE OF GAS UNDER THE SEAT WHERE THE NIPPLE ON THE FUEL PUMP BROKE. NOT TO MENTION MY BATTERY IN THE TRUNK , WELL THE WIRES CROSS RIGHT OVER THE FUEL PUMP. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL. THESE ITEMS SHOULD BE NOWHERE NEAR EACH OTHER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME I REFUEL TO A FULL TANK THE ENGINE WILL SURGE OR COMPLETELY STALL OUT WITHIN A 1/2 MILE. NOW THERE IS A STRONG FUEL SMELL AS WELL WHEN I FILL UP TANK. BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS, I ONLY FILL TO 3/4. DOING THIS SEEMS TO HELP BOTH ISSUES. THANK YOU CHRYSLER FOR NOT COVERING MY MODEL IN THE GAS TANK RECALL FOR FAULTY VENT VALVES. ALL LX CHRYSLERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I ALREADY REPLACED A FUEL PUMP SEAL, CHARCOAL CANISTER, NVLD VALVE AND PURGE VALVE. NO HELP. THIS NEEDS THE TANK RECALL OR SOMEONE MAY DIE. *TR

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE 2005 DODGE MAGNUM, THE SEATBELT LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE JEEP/DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN CARTHAGE, MS WHERE THE CLOCK SPRING WAS REPLACED. ABOUT 10 MILES TRAVELING AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THE SEATBELT LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE INCESSANT DINGING FINALLY QUIT. WE HAD THE CLOCK SPRING REPLACE AGAIN AFTER ABOUT TWO WEEKS AS WE WERE TRAVELING. WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL AND HAVE HAD THE AIRBAGS REPLACED UNDER RECALL AND NOW HAVE ANOTHER RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS. THE SEATBELT LIGHT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION, BUT WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS REPLACED AT OUR EXPENSE AGAIN. WE HAVE HAD IT CORRECTED ONE TIME AT OUR EXPENSE, BUT CANNOT DO THIS AGAIN. I FEEL IT IS INCUMBENT UPON DAILMER CHRYSLER TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED AT THEIR EXPENSE AS THE EVERYDAY CUSTOMER CANNOT CONTINUE TO AFFORD TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL ISSUED YEARS AGO. THE SAME PROBLEM CONTINUES TO THIS DAY WITH NEWER VEHICLES THAN OURS. I WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR-END COLLISION ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO AT WHICH TIME OUR BODY SHOP REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING AGAIN AND IT HAS COME ON AGAIN. I HAD MY BRAKES TO THE FLOOR, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE, AND I REAR-ENDED AT ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NHTSA SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TAKATA RECALL. WHEN I HAD THE FIRST RECALL THEY REPLACED THE AIR BAG AND WHEN THEY DID NOW THE TURN SIGNALS WILL NOT TURN OFF BY THEMSELVES AND THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A POPPING NOISE WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MAKING A TURN.I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY DID WHEN THEY REPLACED THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG BUT THAT IS THE TROUBLE I AM HAVING WITH MY MAGNUM NOW AND YOU WANT ME TO LET THEM DO IT AGAIN. THEY NEED TO REPAIR THE FIRST MISTAKE FIRST BUT IT IS MY ONLY WAY AROUND AND NO DEALER WILL LOAN OUT.

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM THAT I TAKE EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF. MY CAR HAS HAD ALL OF IT'S REGULAR MAINTENANCE. A MONTH AGO I STOPPED AT THE LUBE SHOP TO HAVE THE FLUIDS AND AIR PRESSURE CHECKED ON MY CAR BEFORE I HEADED OUT OF TOWN. THE ONLY FLUID THAT WAS TOPPED OFF WAS MY WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID. WHEN I TRIED TO START MY CAR TO LEAVE, IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO DODGE. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS INFORMED BY MY SERVICE WRITER THAT I NEEDED A NEW MOTOR. DODGE TOLD ME THAT I DROPPED A #4 VALVE SEAT. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS "REALLY, REALLY, REALLY RARE" AND THAT ONLY ABOUT "1 IN A BILLION" THIS HAPPENS TO. I AM CRUSHED. I WENT HOME AND HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IN DEPTH. THIS IS NOT RARE LIKE DODGE CLAIMS. I HAVE COME ACROSS 100'S OF OTHER DODGE OWNERS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WHO ARE NOW LEFT HOLDING THE BAG. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. MOST OF THE VEHICLES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ARE ALREADY OUT OF WARRANTY. DODGE IS AWARE OF THE FAULTY VALVE SEATS THAT ARE BASICALLY (FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM) GLUED IN. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THIS IS GOING TO OCCUR. MY CAR NEVER GOT HOT, NEVER SMOKED, NEVER BURNED OIL, NEVER HESITATED, NEVER RAN ROUGH; IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN A CAR IS BEING STARTED AND THAT IS WHY IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED, BECAUSE IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A "SAFETY" ISSUE. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THE NEW MODELS HAVE THE VALVE SEATS PRESSED AND PINNED IN SO THIS ISSUE DOESN'T CONTINUE TO OCCUR. RECOGNIZING THAT THERE WAS A FLAW IN THE HEMI MOTOR AND RE-ENGINEERING IT TO FIX THE ISSUE IS ADMITTING THERE WAS A DEFECT. DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL THE 2005-2007 HEMI MOTORS AND ADDRESS THE DROPPING VALVE SEATS. THIS IS NOT FAIR AND DODGE KNOWS IT.
