FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR JUST DYING WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED 4XS. WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO RESEARCH THIS I CAME ACROSS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM FROM CHRYSLER WHICH STATED THIS ISSUE WAS WITH THE GAS TANK AND CARS WERE RECEIVING REPLACEMENT GAS TANKS. I CALLED THEIR CORPORATE OFFICES TO INQUIRE AND WAS TOLD MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. HOW CAN A CAR BE EXCLUDED WHEN IT DISPLAYS THIS ISSUE? I AM SCARED TO DRIVE. IT HAPPENED TO ME ON THE FREEWAY, IN A U-TURN, ONCE AT A STOP LIGHT AND ONCE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR IN JANUARY 2015 AND HAD THE CAR SERVICED AT DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE CAR (2006 DODGE MAGNUM SXT) DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES UPON A 23 POINT INSPECTION ON 2/7/2015. THE CAR BEGAN TO LEAK FLUID, I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON 2/14/2015 AND THE LEAK COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT NO LEAKS WERE PRESENT. ON THE DATE IN QUESTION, I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 30 AND 45 AS THE CAR WAS SHAKING TOWARDS THE BACK WHEELS. AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT AND COMMENCING TO DRIVE AGAIN, THE DRIVE SHAFT OF THE CAR BROKE OFF AND I STOPPED THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. UPON REPORTING THIS TO THE DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH THE DODGE MAGNUM AND THIS IS AN ODD OCCURRENCE. THE CAR WAS MISDIAGNOSED TWICE BUT MORE THAN THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAVE SOMEONE FROM GETTING HURT AS THIS COULD A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION HAD THE CAR BEEN OPERATING AT HIGHER SPEEDS AS THE DRIVE TRAIN SEPARATED FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL WITH GREAT FORCE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
THIS IS A POLICE PACKAGE 2008 DODGE MAGNUM. WE HAVE A FLEET OF THEM. ALL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE THE OFFICERS EXPERIENCE A SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. THE SYSTEMS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO ALL DASH WARNING INDICATORS COME ON SUDDENLY, THE ALARM SYSTEM INDICATOR ILLUMINATES AND BEGINS TO FLASH EVERY SECOND, GAUGES GO TO ZERO, THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFT TO 1ST GEAR, POWER REDUCTION KICKS IN, IF THE OFFICER PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK IT WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK, IT BECOMES LOCKED. ALSO THE IF THE OFFICER SHUTS THE VEHICLE OFF IT WILL NOT START AND THE SECURITY SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT BLINKS EVERY SECOND. ONLY AFTER PULLING FUSE 11 TURNING THE KEY ON AND THEN OFF REINSTALLING THE FUSE WILL THE CAR START. AND MAYBE GO INTO GEAR. THE LAST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 WEEKS AGO THE OFFICER HAD A PERP IN THE BACK SEAT AND THE CAR STALLED OUT ON HIM. HE GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO OPEN THE HOOD AND HIS KEYS WERE LEFT INSIDE. THE LOCKED ITSELF DOWN, AND THE DOORS LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY. THE PERSON IN BACK BECAME TRAPPED FOR AN HOUR UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO BY PASS THE LOCKS WITH A SPARE KEY. THE LOCAL DEALER HAS CHARGED US AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO CHANGE SEVERAL MODULES, RECALIBRATE, AND TEST FOR THE FAILURE. NOTHING HAS BEEN CIRCUMVENTED TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS PARKED THESE VEHICLE DUE TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THE QUESTION REMAINS, IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAN BUS SYSTEM? OR WILL A SIMPLE KEY SWITCH FIX THE ISSUE? IF SO WHY NOT INSTALL A LATER MODEL KEY SWITCH THAT PERFORMS CORRECTLY? *JS

MY CAR FALLS UNDER THE GAS TANK REPLACEMENT PROGRAM BUT THE DEALERS KEEP PUTTING OFF THE REPLACEMENT STATING NO PARTS AVAILABILITY. I WAS RECENTLY NEARLY HIT WHILE MAKING A LEGAL U TURN WHEN THE CAR STALLED TWICE LEAVING ME SIDEWAYS ACROSS 2 LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I DO NOT WANT TO SELL MY CAR BUT THE SITUATION IS SCARY ENOUGH FOR ME TO PARK THE CAR. BUT WAITING A YEAR FOR THE PART IS RIDICULOUS. *TR
