TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE CONTACT CALLED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND HER HUSBAND WAS INSTRUCTED ON HOW TO OVERRIDE THE GEAR SHIFTER. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE STALLS MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER A FUEL FILL UP. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT WILL STALL EVEN WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF OTHER VEHICLES DON'T REALIZE MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED. UP TO THIS POINT I HAVE THANKFULLY NOT BEEN THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT. I TRY TO NEVER FILL THE TANK DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. IT USUALLY STOPS ONCE I HAVE DRIVEN A FEW MILES AND IF I OPEN THE FUEL DOOR TO RELEASE THE BUILT UP VAPORS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE STALLS AFTER FUELING UP. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED WITH THE X53 FUEL TANK. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. THE HAZARD IS BECAUSE A STALLED VEHICLE IN THE ROAD IS NOW AN OBSTRUCTION AND AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE FACT THAT THIS ISSUE WAS DIAGNOSED ON THE V8 WITH A 19 GALLON TANK AND WAS COVERED BY A CHRYSLER WARRANTY EXTENSION ADMITS THE ISSUE WAS ON CHRYSLER AND SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THESE VEHICLES AS WELL. SERVICE BULLETIN 14-002-14 AND WARRANTY EXTENSION BULLETIN ID-14-01 REFER TO THE EXACT ISSUE AS MY VEHICLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2005 MAGNUM RT HEMI 5.7 STALLS AFTER A FUEL FILL-UP. DURING NORMAL DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY LOOSES POWER AND STALLS ONLY AFTER FILLING THE CAR UP AT THE GAS STATION. I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS FROM 2016-2019. I HAVE FOUND INFORMATION ON THIS ISSUE UNDER NHTSA REPORT PE13016 LISTED ONLINE AND SEE THE INVESTIGATION WAS CLOSED. ALSO SEE THAT DODGE SUPPOSEDLY CREATED AN "EXTENDED RECALL" FOR "STALLS AFTER FUEL FILL-UP" TO INCLUDE A FREE GAS TANK REPLACEMENT. HOWEVER THIS IS LISTED FOR 2006 VEHICLES AND I AM REPORTING THIS PROBLEM ON MY 2005 DODGE MAGNUM RT (5.7 HEMI ENGINE). THIS CAN BE A SERIOUS ISSUE IF THE CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC AS IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE CAN HAPPEN WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT OR ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM STALLING IS TO USE THE GEAR SHIFT TO KEEP THE RPM'S OF THE ENGINE HIGHER BY BEING IN 2ND OR 3RD GEAR. FROM SEARCHING THE INTERNET ON THIS ISSUE I HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN SEARCHING ON PE13016 OR PE13-016 I HAVE FOUND MANY ARTICLES ABOUT THIS. THE SO CALLED "EXTENDED WARRANTY" FROM CHRYSLER SHOWS UP AS MISSING PAGE FOR AND REFERENCE TO X53 WHICH IS SUPPOSEDLY THE "EXTENDED RECALL" FOR ALL YEARS OF THE DODGE MAGNUM AND MANY OTHER DODGE OR CHRYSLER VEHICLES. IS IT GOING TO TAKE A FATALITY WITH THIS ISSUE FOR SOMEONE TO WAKE UP? WHAT DO I DO NOW? I HAVE NO RECALL FROM DODGE OR CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS ONLY RESOLVED BY A GAS TANK REPLACEMENT FROM WHAT I CAN READ ONLINE.

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..

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.

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!

RIGHT FRONT BALL JOINT FELL OFF THE CAR AS I WAS ABOUT TO CHANGE THE TIRE. MY NEIGHBOR WITNESSED THE EVENT. HE SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH A THING IN 40+ YEARS. I HAD TO RENT A PRESS TO REATTACH. EARLIER IN THE DAY, MY WIFE HAD MENTIONED SHE HEARD A SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN SHE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. THANK THE HEAVENS WE WERE NOT DRIVING THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED.

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.
