I HAVE A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM SXT. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 164,000. MILES ON THE CAR. FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE EXPERIENCED STARTING PROBLEMS. WHEN I TURN THE KEY TO START THE CAR NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. BY ACCIDENT I PRESSED THE LOCK/ALARM SET ON MY KEY WHILE SITTING IN THE CAR. SO I UNLOCKED THE CAR (STILL SITTING IN IT) AND TRIED TO RE-START THE CAR, AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS AT LEAST 4 TIMES NOW WITH MORE FREQUENCY AND DID THE SAME THING TO START THE CAR. IT HAS WORKED EVERY TIME, BUT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I WANT TO RELY ON.

ON JUNE 21ST 2017 APPROXIMATELY 9:05AM I WAS COMING OUT OF THE HOSPITAL PARKING LOT AND I WAS HIT ON THE DRIVERS FRONT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE WHILE I WAS AT A STOP SIGN. A WOMAN RAN INTO ME AND A CLIENT OF MINE AS I WAS ON THE JOB! I WAS IN COMPLETE SHOCK! I STAYED IN MY VEHICLE AS I TRIED TO STAY CALM. I GOT OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND CALL 911 FIRST THEN A BYSTANDERED CALLED CAMPUS SECURITY. STATEMENTS WERE TAKEN FROM BOTH PARTIES AS WELL AS PHOTOS FROM THE INCIDENT. AFTER THAT WE WERE TOLD TO GET INTO OUR CARS AND PULL OVER BACK INTO THE PARKING LOT TO CLEAR UP THE AREA. I GOT BACK INTO MY VEHICLE AND STARTED TO DRIVE IT. MY STERRING WHEEL WAS FEELING WEIRD AND FLIMSY- IT FELT LIKE IT WAS BROKEN. I REACHED DOWN UNDER THE STERRING WHILE AND THE LEVER TO LOCK THE WHEEL HAD UNLOCKED. THE IMPACT ON MY VEHICLE WAS HARD.THE DRIVERS AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED- BUT IT DIDNT. THE WHEEL CAME OUT, BUT NO AIRBAG. THIS WAS EXTREMELY UNSAFE FOR MYSELF AND MY CLIENT WHOM ALREADY HAS DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. I SUFFERED INJURIES AND WENT TO THE HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INCIDENT.

(COMPLAINT DATE WITH NHTSA 5/8/2017) IMMEDIATELY UPON HAVING OTTEN DODGE IN 16614 POTTSVILLE PIKE, HAMBURG, PA 19526 DO THE TANAKA AIRBAG RECALL SERVICE, A AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BECOME LIT (5/4/2017), AND HASN'T GONE OUT. AFTER FILING A COMPLAINT WITH FCA CUSTOMER SERVICE I WAS ADVISED THAT THE DEALERS ARE FRANCHISE OWNED AND CHRYSLER HAS NO CONTROL OVER HOW THEY DO RECALL INSTALLATIONSS. BECAUSE A COMPLAINT WAS FILED NO OTHER LOCAL DEALER WILL FIX THE ISSUE EITHER. ALSO ON 3/20/2017 A SERVICE FOR NEGOTIATED BETWEEN THE NTSB, AND FCA (CHRYSLER) X53 DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT. THE SERVICE WAS CARRIED OUT, & THE ISSUE IS NOW WORSE. THE FUEL TANK IS NO LONGER VENTED. BROKEN EVAP SYSTEM. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE ABOVE DEALER SERVICE DEPT FOR EVAP FIX, AND THEY DETERMINED THAT A CHARCOAL CANISTER WAS WORN/BROKEN & THEREFORE NEEDED REPLACEMENT @ A COST OF $419 THIS ACCOMPANIED THE TANAKA AIRBAG REPLACEMENT, WHICH I NEVER ASKED TO BE DONE. I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO CALL FCA CUSTOMER SERVICE BECAUSE DESPITE THE DEALERSHIPS CLAIM THAT IT WAS FIXED, THE TANK STILL DOES NOT HAVE A FUNCTIONING VENT SYSTEM ( A MAJOR FIRE RISK) ALSO IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND YOU GET IN A CRASH AND THE BAGS DO NOT DEPLOY, THE HIGHWAY PATROL IS ALLOWED TO UPLOAD YOUR VDR AND IF THEY FIND A FAULT IN THE SYSTEM INSURANCE CAN DENY YOUR CLAIM BECAUSE THE CAR DID NOT DO AS DESIGNED (EXAMPLE, YOU BREAK YOUR NECK AGAINST THE WHEEL CAUSE THE BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY BASED ON FAULT, THEY WONT HAVE TO PAY YOUR MEDICAL BILLS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING TANK AT GAS STATION, ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPPED WHILE TURNING OUT OF STATION. HAD TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND RESTART, NARROWLY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. I DID NOT "TOP OFF" TANK, AS IT WAS ABOUT 3/4 FULL WHEN PULLING AWAY. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND ALWAYS MANIFESTS ITSELF AFTER REFULING, OR SOON AFTER. THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY VENT VALVE THAT CANNOT BE REPLACED SEPARATE FROM ENTIRE TANK. NUMEROUS OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM YET THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL.
