SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE CAR THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS ISSUES. I DID PURCHASE THE CAR AS IS, I AM LEASING IT AT 250.00 MONTH. THE TOTAL COST OF THE CAR IS OVER 11,000 DOLLARS AND THERE ARE TOO MANY ISSUES AND PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. THE LIGHTS FOR INSTANCE SEEM TO HAVE A SHORTAGE OF SOME SORT, BECAUSE THEY COME IN AND OUT. THE REAR AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH AS WELL. I HAVE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE, I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY MONEYS WORTH. I AM DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND I HAVE TWO CHILDREN THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR DRIVING AROUND.

THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT IS HAPPENING TO ME GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY A COUPLE OF TIMES, AT WHICH TIME I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF RESTART THE VEHICLE AND THEN TRY TO PULL AWAY. TWICE I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY SEMI TRACTOR-TRAILERS AS THE VEHICLE IS COASTING WITH NO POWER. PLEASE HELP ME, I AM IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE IF I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.

MY 2005 DODGE MAGNUM ACCELERATOR PEDAL (P/N 04726004AB) FELL OFF DURING A DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I REACHED DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO THEN OPERATE THE VEHICLE'S FUEL CONTROL BY SQUEEZING THE PEDAL IN MY HAND UNTIL I COULD SAFELY PARK THE VEHICLE. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, THE PLASTIC MOUNTING STRUCTURE ON THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY APPEARS TO HAVE FATIGUE CRACKED AT ALL THREE MOUNTING LOCATIONS RESULTING IN THIS BAZAAR INCIDENT. THE DESIGN APPEARS TO HAVE HIGH STRESS CONCENTRATIONS OWING TO ITS HARD CORNERS IN THE MOLDED MOUNTING PART FEATURES. *TR

I WAS STOPPED BEHIND TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I GAVE THE VEHICLE SOME GAS. AT THAT TIME, MY FOOT SANK THROUGH THE PEDAL AS THE ENTIRE GAS PEDAL MECHANISM, NOT JUST THE PEDAL PAD, BUT THE ENTIRE MECHANISM BROKE OFF AND FELL TO THE FLOOR. I STOPPED THE CAR IMMEDIATELY APPLYING ALL BRAKES. I LOOKED BEHIND THE PEDAL AND IT APPEARED THE PLASTIC MOLDING ATTACHMENT HAD BROKEN OFF SHOWING A SHARED PIECE OF PLASTIC WHERE IT HAD BROKEN. AGAIN, THE ENTIRE PEDAL MECHANISM LAID THERE ON THE FLOOR WITH ONLY THE WIRING ATTACHED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO HAD TO CHARGE A $99 DIAGNOSTIC TO LOOK AT THE PEDAL AND SAY YOU NEED A COMPLETE NEW PEDAL. THE ADDITIONAL PEDAL WILL COST $249 PLUS LABOR. I STILL CANT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

WHEN AT RED LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS THE ENGINE STARTS TO ACCELERATE AUTOMATICALLY DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF THE COMPUTER. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP THEY INFORM ME THAT THERE WAS A NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER FOR THIS PART. *TR

MY ABS LIGHTS CAME ON OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR 5 DIFFERENT TIMES AND WENT OUT WITHOUT REPAIR WORK. THE LIGHTS FINNALLY CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OUT. I REPLACED THE ABS CONTROLLER WITHOUT ISSUE, HOWEVER I AM THE CURIOUS TYPE. I OPENED THE CONTROLLER BOX TO EXAMINE (POST MORTEM IF YOU WILL) AND FOUND A CLASSIC CASE OF NON-LEAD SOLDER TIN WHISKER GROTH SHORTING OUT SEVERAL POINTS ON THE BOARD. THE LINKS BELOW ARE SEVERAL PICTURES OF THE TIN WHISKERS THAT ARE CLASSIC IN NON-LEAD SOLDER. THE LINKS BELOW THE PICS ARE SOME DETAILS ON TIN WHISKER INFO.

ENGINE RPM SLOW TO DECREASE WHEN FOOT REMOVED FROM THE GAS PEDAL. EXPERIENCED THIS CONDITION SEVERAL TIMES. LAST TIME RPM STUCK AT 4000 RPM AND WOULD NOT DECREASE AND I HAD TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION TO GET RPM TO DECREASE.(FORTUNATELY I WAS IN "PARK" IN MY DRIVEWAY.) I CALLED THE DEALER WHO SENT A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR. THAT WAS ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO AND THE PART- THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR - WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND WILL NOT BE UNTIL ABOUT FEB. 1ST. IN MY OPINION THIS DEFECT,IF EXPERIENCED UNDER DIFFERENT CONDITIONS, COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, PARTICULARLY IF THE VEHICLE WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL. *TR

I OWN THE 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. ION JANUARY 15, 2005 AT APPROXIMATELY 5:20 P.M I WAS DRIVING AT A RATE OF 35 MPH. I WAS ABOUT TO COME TO A STOPLIGHT WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND AND IT ACCELERATED IN SPEED. I TRIED TO APPLY EMERGENCY BRAKES BUT IT SOUNDED AS IF IT WAS DRAGGING TIRES.. I HAD TO SWERVE IN ORDER NOT TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I PUT MY CAR IN PARK, IT THEN IDLED ALL THE WAY UP TO THE 5 MARK. IT STEADILY IDLED AT THIS RATE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. I DID NOT THINK IT WAS GOING TO STOP SO I SHUT THE ENGINE FF. I WAS VERY SCARED AT THAT POINT AND DID NOT KNOW I SHOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT. IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE ELSE TOOK OVER MY CAR. IT WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING INCIDENT. IF I HADN'T TAKEN ADVANCED DRIVERS COURSE I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN WHAT TO DO AND COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED SOMEONE. *TR

THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS RESET. IN JUNE 2006 THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC 70 MPH WITH CLEAR AND DRY ROAD CONDITIONS AND THE VEHICLE DROPPED TO FIRST GEAR. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER CHANGED THE THROTTLE BODY AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE PERFORMED WELL FOR APPROXIMATELY 3,000 MILES. ON DEC 22, 2006 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND BECAUSE THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE DEALER CAME AND TOWED THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS CHANGED. THE CONTACT WAS CALLED ON DEC 28, 2006, AND WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS READY. THE CONTACT PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND WITHIN THREE MILES OF LEAVING THE DEALER, THE CONTACT ACCELERATED AND THE VEHICLE DROPPED TO FIRST GEAR.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER 200 TO 300 MILES OF FREEWAY DRIVING, THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE SHUTTING DOWN BUT WOULD NOT ALLOW THE CONTACT TO ACCELERATE. WHEN THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY ABOUT 2 TO 3 MONTHS LATER, THE VEHICLE ALSO IDLED UP AND WOULD NOT ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS ONLY OCCURRED DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN TO WORK DAILY WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE SPEED DIFFERENCE WAS 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY VERSUS 45 MPH TO GO TO WORK. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED THAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE CAUSED BY THE DIFFERENCE IN SPEED OR THE INCREASED IN MILEAGE. BOTH INCIDENCES OCCURRED AFTER 200 MILES OF DRIVING. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR 20 MILES AND RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED CONCERNS FOR SAFETY. THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES WERE ALSO A CONCERN. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATING. WHEN THE EMERGENCY IS RELEASED, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT TURNS OFF, EVEN THOUGH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY ENGAGED. THERE WAS ALSO A TERRIBLE SQUEALED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS ALERTED OF ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS BUT THEY HAVE OFFERED NO RESOLUTION.*AK

I HAVE A NEW 2005 DODGE MAGNUM WHICH IS A NEW CAR. THE CAR HAS THE 5.7L HEMI MOTOR. ON 6-7-04, MY WIFE CRANKED THE CAR AND PUT IT IN REVERSE. SHE THEN DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND WITH ANY RPM CHANGE UNTIL THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSSED IN EXCESS OF 50%. WHEN THE ENGINE DID RESPOND, IT WAS VIOLENT, CAUSING THE CAR TO SPIN TIRES AND ACCELERATE BACKWARD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, HITTING ANOTHER CAR IN OUR DRIVEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 TIMES AND ACTUALLY HAPPENED WHILE THE INSURANCE APPRAISER WAS IN THE CAR. HIS REPORT SAYS THAT "THERE IS AN APPARANT MECHANICAL PROBLEM WITH THE CAR THAT NEEDS DEFINANT ATTENTION". I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND I HAVE NOTIFIED DODGE 4 TIMES, 3 OF WHICH ARE EMAILS WITH CONFIRMING RESPONSES. THE LAST EMAIL DATED 6/24 SAID THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY DAIMLERCHRYSLERS WITH A DECISION. I HAVE HAD NO OTHER RESPONSE AND I CANNOT GET ANYONE FROM CHRYLERS TO TALK TO ME. CHRYSLER SENT SOMEONE TO LOOK AT THE CAR 2 WEEKS AGO, BUT I HAVE HAD NO RESPONSE FROM THEM. THE DEALER COULD NOT REPEAT THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS WITHOUT RECREATION OF THE INCIDENT. I WOULD THINK THAT CHRYSLER WOULD TAKE THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY SINCE IT IS A NEW MODEL CAR. I HAVE POSTED THIS PROBLEM ON A DODGE TALK FORUM AND AM FINDING ADDITIONAL PEOPLE WITH VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I HAD ASKED THE DEALER THAT I WOULD LIKE FOR DODGE TO REPLACE THE CAR WHICH WAS ONLY ABOUT A WEEK OLD WITH 700 MILES ON IT AND ALSO TO REPAIR THE OTHER DAMAGED VEHICLES. I HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT WITH THE MATTER BUT FEEL THAT I AM GETTING NO RESPONSE FROM DODGE. PLEASE HELP IF POSSIBLE. THANKS, MEL PHILLIPS. *AK
