2006 Dodge Magnum Problems

This is the second time I have been stuck on the side of the road showing that my car has a quarter tank of gas and it just dies on me. I was rescued with some fuel and it started right back up again. Upon checking for recalls for this issue, I came across some 2005 to 2006 Dodge magnums or chargers with fuel tank recalls. I called Chrysler and they are saying my vin does not apply to the fuel tank recall. How is it, I am having the same exact issue as those vin’s affected by this recall. I think it is something to look into. I have gone on Dodge forums and read people’s stories about the same issue as I am having and I am sure they are unaware of the steps they can take with the NHTSA to file a complaint where an investigation could be imminent. Please advise. This has happened more than once so now I consider an empty tank when I am at a quarter tank reading on my gas meter.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Magnum. The contact stated while driving 10-15 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power while coming to a stop. Additionally, the vehicle lost motive power after refueling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Action Number: PE13016 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 109,886.

vehicle engine codes were all corrected properly in hopes of fixing the stalling issues. the vehicle was seemingly better for a few days. upon driving the vehicle on the highway at normal highway speed, the vehicle suddenly began flickering and shutting off and on. the vehicle would shut off and on rapidly. each time the vehicle turned back on it would accelerate causing the vehicle to jolt forward and stop rapidly. the car would not allow me to brake safely. the vehicle behind was within inches of a collision but their quick response to slam on their brakes and swerved to the shoulder thankfully missed. this is not an isolated event. speaking to other hemi 5.7 vehicle owners this is a very common issue. I had a baby in a carseat in the backseat who was jolted around slamming the back of his head into his car seat. this is so dangerously unsafe. not dealership can find the problem even after replacing every part possible on these vehicles.

The car won’t go in gear

THIS HAPPENS MOVING AND STATIONARY

Air bag light was flashing and contact Dodge multiple times to inquire and fix recall however all I was offered was a gift card but no sort of transaction while vehicle was being fixed and was told I would receive follow up to make arrangements to get everything fixed however never had received any follow up and finally like I had told and showed the dealer probably the bag was going to deploy luckily I was the only person in the vehicle the passenger side airbag deployed and caused me to go off road into rail totaling vehicle it was no injuries or damages to any other property however vehicle was total loss and had a car person pick it up so I wouldn’t occur any cost leaving vehicle abandoned or in a storage facility when I contacted recall customer care for dodge and told them what happened now their excuse is a investigation however before this incident they have had ample time and many opportunities to check the vehicle just to be pushed off with a bunch of excuses to not provide ample conversation for inconvenience and the losses accrued due to their Faulty unsafe vehicle that could have cost someone life due to donor drive recall

WITH ALL OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALLS FOR THESE VEHICLES FOR FRONT AIRBAGS, WHAT ABOUT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS THAT SOME MODELS LIKE MINE WERE EQUIPPED WITH AS A FACTORY OPTION? ARE THOSE AIRBAG INFLATORS ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED?

HEAT BLOWS ON PASSENGER SIDE BUT COLD ON DRIVERS SIDE

THE IGNITION HAS A FAULT. IT WILL NOT START. LIGHTS TURN ON BUT CAR DOESN'T START. NEW STARTER INSTALLED

THIS CAR WENT IN FOR A COOLING FAN RECALL IN LATE JULY. AT THE SAME TIME, THE 60,000 MILE TRANSMISSION SERVICE WAS COMPLETED. I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH HOW IT SHIFTED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY ON AN IRREGULAR BASIS. WE LEFT ON VACATION A WEEK LATER AND JUST RETURNED SEPT. 8TH. I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORSE, SO I CALLED THE GARAGE TO TAKE IT IN. I WAS JUST TOLD THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS BAD, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF A WATER LEAK IN THE DIPSTICK. THE SERVICE GUY TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER HAS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM ON MANY CARS. MY SUSPICION: WHY DID IT GO OUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING SERVICED AT ROSS CHRYSLER IN BOONE, NC. IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE WATER LEAKS, CHRYSLER SHOULD BE SHARING WITH THE COST ($1600) TO REPLACE THE CONVERTER. AM I BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BECAUSE I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN. ADD WATER TO THE TRANSMISSION WHILE BEING WORKED ON, AND IT RUINS THE CONVERTER. *KB

THE CAR SEEMS TO BE RUNNING FINE ONE MINUTE WHEN I COME UP TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WHILE IT IS IN GEAR THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF THE NEXT PROBLEM IS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE LIGHTS GO OFF AND ON SOMETIMES DON'T COME BACK ON FOR TWO OR THREE MINUTES VERY ANNOYING WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH NO HEADLIGHTS AN ONCOMING TRAFFIC

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. WITHIN WEEKS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE UNKNOWN INDEPENDENT DEALER WHO SOLD THE CONTACT THE VEHICLE MADE NO MENTION OF THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS). IN ADDITION, THE BATTERY SAVE MODE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, THE VEHICLE JERKED, AND THE SPEED DRASTICALLY REDUCED. THE CONTACT HAD TO DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY AND POTENTIALLY UTILIZE THE HAZARD LIGHTS WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, A UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AS THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO JERK CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES THEN THE FAILURE RECURRED.

VEHICLE STALLED SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE AFTER HAVING BEEN STOPPED AT INTERSECTION. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR REGULARLY AFTER REFUELING. IT OCCURRED BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND ALSO WHILE IN MOTION. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WAS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT. ONCE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY SURGED WHILE DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES OF OPERATION UNTIL RETURNING TO NORMAL. THIS PROBLEM AND ITS ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A SAFETY RISK. AS OF APRIL 2013, I NO LONGER OWN THIS VEHICLE. MY WIFE PRESENTLY EXPERIENCES THIS PROBLEM WITH HER 2006 DODGE MAGNUM SRT-8 WITH THE 6.1L ENGINE. SHE HAS ALSO FILED A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MAY 2014. AT TIME OF PURCHASE ALL 4 WHEELS WERE SHOWING OBVIOUS SIGNS OF SIGNIFICANT CORROSION AROUND THE CENTER CAP, LUG NUT AREA AND ALONG THE BEAD OF THE RIM. ALL TIRES MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION. I JUST RECENTLY ATTENDED AN ALL CHRYSLER CAR SHOW AND WHILE ADMIRING OTHER MAGNUMS ON DISPLAY I NOTICED SEVERAL OF THEM HAD THE SAME CORROSION IN THE SAME LOCATIONS AS MINE. I AM NOT A METALLURGIST AND DO NOT KNOW IF THIS CONDITION WILL, OR HAS, AFFECTED THE INTEGRITY OF THE ALLOY MATERIAL USED IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THESE RIMS BUT IT SEEMS TO ME, IF THIS PROBLEM IS LEFT UNADDRESSED IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. *TR

I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL FOR CHRYSLER FOR THE DODGE MAGNUM 2006 SINCE I HAD IT FOR 6 YRS+EXITED THE FREEWAY, AND MADE TURN TO HEAD TOWARDS MY DESIGNATED LOCATION. AS SOON AS I CROSS OVER THE FIRST LIGHT ( GOING THE SPEED LIMIT) MY VEHICLE LOST CONTROL AND ACCELERATED MORE SPEED WITHOUT ME ABLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK ALL OVER THE STREET. (UNABLE TO CONTROL STEERING AND BRAKE). LOST CONTROL WENT OFF THE ROAD INSTANTLY HIT A TREE AND SPUN SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I HIT ANOTHER TREE,AND THAT IS WHAT MADE THE VEHICLE CRASH AND COME TO A STOP. *TR

THE CAR WAS WRECKED REALLY BAD. FRONT END A BACK WAS DAMAGED MAINLY THE FRAME OF THE CAR FRONT END ALSO THE TRUNK WAS PUSHED IN AND THE RIGHTSIDE REAR LIGHT IS DAMAGED ALITTLE INSIDE WAS MESSED UP POWER SEATS DON'T WORK PROPERLY. ALSO AT TIMES IT DON'T MOVE AT ALL IT WAS SOLD TO ME LIKE THIS AT A REALLY UNFAIR PRICE OF 17,999. THEY NEED TO BE LOCKED IN JAIL FOR SUCH A SCAM AND RIPPED ME OFF. ALSO THESE PEOPLE ARE STONE HEARTED CROOKS. PLEASE HELP THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND THIS HAS TO BE AGAINST THE LAW. *TR

THE FRONT END HAD TO BE WELDED BACK TOGETHER AND THE IT IS PRETTY MESSED UP. AND FRONT WHEELS BAR MIGHT COME A LOOSE WHEN TURNING IS MADE HARD. YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT WAS FIX AT ON THE BOTTOM IN THE FRONT THE FRAME WAS WRECK PRETTY HARD. *TR

TIRE COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 70MPH. ONLY ABOUT 2 INCHES OF THE SIDEWALL ARE LEFT ON THE RIM. THE ENTIRE HALF OF THE TREAD-SIDE WAS GONE. NO IMPACT UPON EVENT. SIMPLY SEPARATED FROM THE SIDEWALL ALL THE WAY AROUND. I HAVE A PHOTO OF THE REMAINS. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.

CONTINENTAL CONTISEALS ON MY DODGE MAGNUM 2006 R/T. THE TIRES WORE DOWN 50,000 MILES BEFORE WARRANTY, CUPP EASILY, VIBRATE THE ENTIRE CAR, DON'T SEAL PROPERLY, AND DODGE HAS CHANGED THE TIRE QUICKLY AFTER SEEING THE DRAMATICALLY HORRIBLE RESULTS OF THESE TIRES ON MY CAR. THERE ARE MANY PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES. *TR

(TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE TIPM) ONE MORNING I TRIED TO START MY CAR. THE CAR ACTED IF THE BATTERY WAS DEAD, SO I JUMPED THE CAR. AFTER I JUMPED THE CAR I NOTICED THAT MY ESP/BAS LIGHT WAS ON. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO GET TO WORK. AS I LEFT MY HOUSE I TRIED TO USE MY TURN SIGNALS. THEY DID NOT TURN ON. I TRIED TO USE MY WIND SHIELD WIPERS AND THEY DID NOT WORK EITHER. THIS IS ALARMING BECAUSE THESE ARE A COUPLE OF SAME ATTRIBUTES THAT MAKE A CAR SAFE. AFTER MORE INVESTIGATION THE FOLLOWING THINGS STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. HORN CRUISE CONTROL FRONT WINDOWS TURN SIGNALS SO ALL OF MY MAJOR COMPONENTS THAT ALLOW ME TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER DRIVERS STOPPED WORKING ALL AT ONCE. I WENT TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THAT THIS IS NOT A UNCOMMON PROBLEM AND THAT THE COST TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE AROUND $1200-$1000. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, THE SERVICE WRITER WAS NOT FAR OFF WHEN HE SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. AFTER READING PAGE, AFTER PAGE, AFTER PAGE OF FORUMS OF "CHRYSLER " OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. FURTHER MORE THERE IS A LAWSUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER FOR PUTTING FAULTY PARTS ON THEIR VEHICLES WITHOUT ANY SORT OF RECALL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD CONSIDERING, IF THIS COMMON FAULTY PART GOES OUT, SO DOES MOST OF YOUR VISUAL AND AUDIO COMMUNICATION INDICATORS ON YOUR VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT HAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL FAILURES WITH HER VEHICLE AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WAS INOPERABLE AND FAILED TO MOVE WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO PULL AND SECURE IT OVER HER BODY. SHE WOULD HAVE TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND PLAY WITH THE BELT FOR A WHILE BEFORE IT WOULD OPERATE PROPERLY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE SEAT BELT MODULE, BUT THE SEAT BELT FAILED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED THAT THE FAILURE COULD BE RELATED TO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. SHE WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR. IN ADDITION, THE SUN ROOF WAS INOPERABLE AND WOULD OPEN AND CLOSE INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 28,000.

I OWN A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM STR8, THAT WILL NOT SOME OUT OF PARK,WITH 66,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE READ OVER MANY MANY REPORTS OF THIS EXACT ISSUE WITH DODGE MAGNUMS AND CHARGERS AND NOW IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME. WHY IS THERE STILL NOT A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? I AM SHOCKED THAT THE NHTSA HAS NOT RECEIVED FAR MORE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. *TR

MY CAR WAS WORKING FINE UNTIL THE NEXT DAY I WENT OUT THE TO THE CAR CRANKED IT UP TRIED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE, IT WILL NOT GO OUT OF PARK. *TR

2 ISSUES: 1) THE CAR STALLS (ENGINE CUTS OFF) SPORADICALLY. IT RESTARTS WITHOUT HESITATION BUT THE STALLS ARE DURING TRANSIT WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. I SEE A LOT OF INSTANCES WHERE THIS COMPLAINT HAS BEEN REPORTED BUT I DON'T SEE ANY RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. 2) WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WITH THE SEAT BELT BUCKLED, THE SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT AND CHIMING CONTINUOUSLY BLINK AND SOUNDS. ALSO, ALL THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD BLINKS SIMULTANEOUSLY PERIODICALLY. NOT SURE IF THAT IS RELATED BUT I DON'T SEE ANY RECALLS CONCERNING THIS. I WILL BE REPORTING THESE TO THE MEDIA FOR ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THESE ISSUES ADDRESSED WITH MY VEHICLE. *TR
