ENGINE
I HAVE BEEN HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 DODGE MAGNUM RT FOR THE PAST YEAR: 1. CAR STALL AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN (ENGINE WOULD START AGAIN) 2. CAR WILL LOSE POWER (HESITATE FOR ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS AND IT WOULD CHIME) 3. ENGINE DIED ON THE FREEWAY AND HAD TO PULL OVER (VERY DANGEROUS) DODGE REPLACE THE GAS TANK 2 TIMES AND STILL NOT REPAIRED. THE DODGE DEALER IN ELK GROVE CA CHARGED ME $140 AND I ACCORDING TO THE RECALL IT SHOULD BE WAIVED. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

WHEN YOU FILL THE GAS TANK THE ENGINE WILL STALL SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL THE GAS LEVEL LOWERS. IF YOU FILL THE TANK TO 3/4 FULL IT WONT STALL. AFTER THE STALL THE ENGINE WILL RESTART AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. VERY DANGEROUS IF ON FREEWAY OR NO SPOT TO PULL OVER. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2004.

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
VEHICLE DODGE MAGNUM R/T 5.7L 2005 ENGINE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN MOVING SLOW SPEED/LOW RPM, LOSES POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. DOES HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY MAY GO MONTHS WITHOUT AN INCIDENT. VEHICLE START NORMALLY RIGHT AFTER. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING LEFT TURN OVER ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANES AND CROSSING LANES. HAD TWO INCIDENTS YESTERDAY AS DESCRIBED. THIS ISSUE NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED FOR COMPLETE REPAIR. CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO WERE UNWILLING TO ASSIST WITH AN ISSUE BUT ADMIT WARRANTY EXTENSION TO THE FUEL TANK'S MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE FUEL SHUTOFF FLOAT IN THE 19-GALLON TANKS. I FOUND NHTSA COMMENT IN ITS SUMMARY OF THE CLOSED INVESTIGATION. "THE CONDITION REPRESENTS A LOW RISK TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY AND IS ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER'S EXTENDED WARRANTY." I DISAGREE WITH NHTSA COMMENTS WHETHER THIS IS "LOW RISK TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY". TRY TO BE STALLED ON THE LANE WHEN 20 TON DUMP TRUCK IS APPROACHING 50-60 MILES PER HOUR.

STEERING, ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS TAKING MY FAMILY (WIFE, 18 MONTH OLD, 2 YR OLD, AND 4 YR OLD) TO GET SOME ICE CREAM AFTER A HOME DEPOT TRIP. AS I TURNED LEFT ACROSS A BUSY STREET THE STEREO SUDDENLY BLINKED OUT, AND THE ENGINE DIED, ALONG WITH POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND EVERY ELECTRICAL FUNCTION. IT SIMPLY BLINKED LIKE ALL POWER WAS LOST FOR A MOMENT, AND WAS ENOUGH TO KILL THE ENGINE, AND LOOSE ALL POWER ASSIST FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE. THANKFULLY I HAD MOMENTUM AND WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO THE SIDE STREET WITH OUT BEING T-BONED BY ON COMING TRAFFIC. I WAS SENT RECALL P57/NHTSA 14V-567 IN THE MAIL IN NOVEMBER 2014, BUT THERE WAS AND STILL IS NO REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL WHICH APPEARS TO BE DIRECTLY LINKED TO MY INCIDENT. HOW MANY FATAL ACCIDENTS ARE GOING TO OCCUR BETWEEN NOW AND THE FIX FOR THE KNOWN ISSUE? DODGE CAN BUILD A BRAND NEW [XXX] BETWEEN NOVEMBER AND TODAY, BUT THEY CANNOT MANUFACTURE A $.50 PART. DID THEY NOT LEARN FROM CHEVY? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
