ENGINE
I HAVE A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM AND I WENT INTO THE CLEANERS TO DROP MY CLOTHES OFF. I WENT IN THE CLEANERS AND CAME OUT AND ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE SHOP AND THE MECHANIC STATED IT WAS MY ENGINE WAS OUT. I THINK ITS THE TIMING CHAIN. I SEEN RECALLS FOR MY ENGINE BUT THEY STATE ITS FOR THE NEWER VERSION OF THE HEMI BUT I THINK ITS ALL THE SAME RECALL. I GET MY CAR MAINTENANCE AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ENGINE PROBLEMS, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS , LOSS AF POWER. THERE WERE LITERALLY NO SIGNS. I HAD GOT MY OIL CHANGED AT THE DEALERSHIP WITHIN A MONTH OF THE INCIDENT.

I AM THE SECOND OWNER. THE CAR IS USED VERY LITTLE. THE FIRST TIME I FILLED IT UP , NOT OVER FILL THE CAR STARTED STALLING OUT. IT IS AN ISSUE WHEN ALL THE POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING AND IT STALLS AT LOW SPEED. THE SECOND TIME IT DID IT I SPENT OVER 700.00 DOLLARS TO CHECK EVERYTHING OUT. CAR HAS 69000 MILES. IT'S STILL STALLING AFTER I FILL UP. I CALLED AND MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER A FEB.19,2014 RECALL. SAME PROBLEM THAT STARTED THE RECALL. OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. HAPPENS AT LOW SPEED AND WHEN TURNING AFTER A FILL-UP. I WILL NOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS CAR, TOO DANGEROUS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
OUR DODGE MAGNUM HAS FLICKERING HEADLIGHTS AS WELL AS DASH LIGHTS ALSO FLICKER. WE OUR CURRENTLY UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SAFETY AT NIGHT. DODGE SAYS IT COULD BE 2 POTENTIAL PROBLEMS,FIRST TRY REPLACING THE LIGHT SWITCH WHICH HAS BEEN DONE. THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST,NEXT TO REPLACE THE FCM [FRONT CONTROL MODULE]. THE FCM IS ON BACK ORDER WITH NO RELEASE DATE AVALIABLE. OK SO THEY SAID TO REPLACE THE PCM WHICH INCLUDES THE FCM WHICH IS ALSO NOT AVALIABLE. THE LIGHS ONLY FLICKER WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND AT NIGHT. MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHEN TURNING OR SPEED. WE HAVE CONTACTED MULTIPLE DEALERS AN ALL HAVE THE SAME RESPONSE. THE DEALERS SUGESTED WE TRY A JUNK YARD FOR A USE FCM, BUT HOW CAN WE BE SURE THAT SOLVES THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM STARTED AROUND JANUARY 2018. WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW 2005. WE FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS ASAP. PLEASE HELP US

I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE AFTER MY MAGNUM NEARLY KILLED ME (LITERALLY). THEY TOLD ME TO 'PAY FOR MY REPAIRS AND KEEP MY RECEIPT IN CASE OF A RECALL'. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND IT NEEDS ATTENTION. MY GAS PEDAL LITERALLY BROKE OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WAS STUCK WIDE OPEN. BY THAT I MEAN IT BROKE OFF COMPLETELY FROM THE ASSEMBLY THAT HOLDS THE PEDAL TO THE ACTUAL CAR ITSELF! THEN, AFTER I CONTACTED THEM TO BRING IT IN TO A SHOP, THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE, AND WHEN I GOT IT OUT OF DRIVE, IT WILL NOT MOVE FROM PARK!! I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS YEAR OF MAGNUM!!! IT IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE!!! THANK GOD I WAS AT HOME SO NO ONE ELSE WOULD HAVE BEEN HARMED AND I WAS ABLE TO THINK QUICKLY! I LITERALLY ALMOST CRASHED INTO TWO VERY LARGE CEMENT SILO'S! THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE!!! IT SHOULDN'T MATTER HOW MANY MILES (IT HAS 157K WHICH IS PRETTY LOW FOR THAT YEAR) I HAVE NEVER HAD A GAS PEDAL BREAK OFF NOR HAVE I EVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE I STARTED MY SEARCH!!

RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS CAR TOOK IT TO THE SHOP BECAUSE THE CAR WAS CUTTING OFF ON ITS OWN WHETHER PARKED OR IN DRIVE WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND IT CAME UP WITH A CODE FOR CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, GOT THAT CHANGED THE CODE WENT AWAY BUT THE CAR STILL TURNS OFF ON ITS OWN AND NO CODES SHOW UP. CRANKSHAFT HAS NOW BEEN CHANGED 2 TIMES&& THE ELECTRICAL THINGS WERE CHECKED JUST TO BE SAFE!&& A FEW DAYS AGO I WAS DRIVING MAYBE ABOUT 35MPH & THE CAR DECELERATED ON ITS OWN AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON.
