• 12/15/2014· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  AFTER FUELING CAR TO NEAR THE FULL MARK I WAS ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE TRAFFIC FLOW ON INTERSTATE 75 AT OCALA. THE CAR LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE DIED ( NO POWER BRAKES OR STEERING) ATTEMPTED TO RESTART CAR IN NEUTRAL WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF CAR. TRAFFIC WAS RUNNING 70MPH AND I WAS MERGING INTO THE TRAFFIC FLOW. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART ACTING AS IF FLOODED. LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING AND NOT MY WIFE WHO HAS MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY AS SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. MY RESEARCH INDICATES THE PROBLEM IS KNOWN BY DODGE AND IS RELATED TO A PURGE VENT VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. IT SEEMS THE VELVET STICKS OPEN AND ALLOWS GAS , NOT JUST THE FUMES TO BE RECIRCULATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY (INTAKE) AND FLOODS THE ENGINE. DODGE STATES THIS PROBLEM CAN AFFECT ALL DODGE CHARGER, MAGNUM AND 300 MODEL CARS. IT REQUIRES A FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT AS THE PURGE VALVE IS INCORPORATED INTO THE TANK ITSELF. *TR

  PLEASE PUT YOUR SELF IN OUR SHOE`S THIS HAS GOT TO BE DEALT WITH OR SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IN A CRASH. PLEASE DON'T LET DODGE SKATE ON THIS ONE CAN WE NOT GET A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT GOING? I HOPE I DON`T CRASH AND KILL SOMEBODY`S CHILD OR LOVED ONE. 1. DANGEROUS! ENTIRE CAR SHAKES WHEN TRAVELING AT 40-80+ MPH. THE SHAKE SHOWS UP IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE TO HANDLE AT SPEEDS OF 65MPH. THIS SHAKE IS NOT PRESENT WHEN BRAKING, ONLY UNDER ACCELERATION AND USUALLY ONLY WHEN YOU GO OVER 40MPH. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT IT ACTUALLY HURTS MY EARS DO TO THE "PULSING AND POUNDING AIR PRESSURE WHEN ONLY ONE WINDOW, ANY WINDOW IS OPEN. IT IS DEAFENING!!. THE WHEELS WERE BALANCED ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND THAT DIDN'T NOTHING BUT WAIST MY TIME AND MONEY. 2. CAR NEARLY STALLS OUT WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR ON WIDE OPEN THROTTLE. (CAN BE DANGEROUS IF YOU EXPECT THE CAR TO GO AND IT STUTTERS. ALMOST APPEARS AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL, LIKE IT'S STARVED FOR GAS). AND IF ALL THAT IS NOT ENOUGH, THE RACK AND PINION NEED REPLACING, AFTER ONLY 53 THOUSAND MILES!!!??? IT SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 150,000 MILES I ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 10,000 MILES A YEAR! AND ON VERY SMOOTH ROADS. NOW I AM OUT OF MONEY AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE ENDS MEET ON $995 DOLLARS A MONTH. DON`T I / WE HAVE GOVERNMENT BACKED CONSUMER RIGHTS WHEN THESE PROBLEMS ARE SO OBVIOUS AND BLATANTLY BEING IGNORED. DODGE SHOULD BY NOW, KNOW WHAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE, AND IF NOT, THEY SHOULD FEEL OBLIGATED TO AT LEAST FIND THE CAUSE OF THEM. AFTER ALL I PURCHASED A DODGE TO HELP SUPPORT AN AMERICAN ICON JUST TO FIND OUT THAT THEY ACTUALLY TREAT US WORSE THAN TOYOTA TREATS THERE CUSTOMERS. I MEAN AT LEAST THEY ARE FIXING AND ADMITTING THERE MISTAKES. I JUST HOPE MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE GET HURT OR KILLED DO TO THERE IGNORANCE BEFORE THEY FINALLY BEND OVER, GRAB THERE EARS AND PULL THERE HEADS OUT OF THERE .........! *TR

• 12/04/2017· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  MY CAR STALLS WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. THE STALL OCCURS AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND COMING TO A STOP. AFTER PLACING THE CAR IN PARK AND TRYING SEVERAL TIMES TO START THE CAR, THE ENGINE FINALLY STARTS. I PUT IT INTO DRIVE, BUT IT DOESN'T ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY. I THEN HAVE TO REPEAT BY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND GOING THRU THE START AND ENGAGE SEVERAL TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD WITH CARS BEHIND ME. I GET REAL PANICKY AND DON'T FEEL AT ALL SAFE WITH THIS SITUATION. I NOTICED THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FULL TANK AND THE STALLING AFTER QUITE SOME TIME AS THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH TO FIND THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 300, CHARGER AND MAGNUM. I'VE ALSO READ ARTICLES ONLINE STATING THAT YOU INVESTIGATED THE ISSUE AND FOUND CHRYSLER AT FAULT. WITH THIS FINDING, I WOULD LIKE CHRYSLER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME I HAVE NOT CONTACTED CHRYSLER AS I'D LIKE TO FIND OUT IF THEY WILL INDEED FIX THE PROBLEM WITH A REPLACEMENT. AFTER ALL, THIS IS WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO. I ALSO READ THEY WERE MAILING OWNERS, BUT SINCE OWNING THE CAR SINCE 2013, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CONTACT FROM THEM CONCERNING THE FUEL TANK ISSUE. WHAT PATH DO YOU SUGGEST I TAKE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION OF A FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT BY CHRYSLER? REGARDS.

• 12/02/2017· ENGINE

  HELLO, IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN, WHETHER I FILL IT UP OR NOT, WEATHER I TOP IT OFF OR NOT, THE ENGINE WILL RUN ERRATICALLY, OFTEN STALLING MULTIPLE TIMES FOR NO REASON. IT HAS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY, AT HIGHWAY SPEED, AT ANY OTHER SPEEDS, AND GOING THROUGH TURNS, NEEDLESS TO SAY, WITH NO ENGINE I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. I HAVE THE STRENGTH TO KEEP THE CAR UNDER CONTROL, BUT A LESS EXPERIENCED OR LESS STRONG DRIVER MAY LOOSE CONTROL, POSSIBLY WITH SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR A FEW HOURS, IT WILL USUALLY RUN OK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER.

• 11/30/2007· STEERING,TIRES

  THE TIRES ON MY 2006 DODGE MAGUNUM RT MAY BE SUSPECT. HOWEVER, WHEN THE CAR WAS GIVEN A FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT AT ABOUT 6000 MILES, IT WAS FOUND TO NEED MAJOR ADJUSTMENT AT ALL FOUR WHEELS. THIS CAR HAD NOT HIT ANYTHING TO KNOCK THE WHEELS OUT OF ALIGNMENT SO I HAVE TO ASSUME THAT THE CAR WAS POORLY ASSEMBLED. I NOW HAVE ABOUT 21000 MILES ON THE CAR AND I STILL FEEL THAT THE CAR HAS VERY UNPREDICTABLE STEERING. I HOPE THAT THE CAUSE IS TIRES WHICH I CAN REPLACE (MUCH TOO EARLY). BUT I FEAR THAT THERE MAY BE A STEERING RACK PROBLEM. *TR

I'VE NOW INCURRED A VERY LARGE EXPENSE OF $2,340 TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THIS IS QUITE OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF AND I UNDERSTAND THE MATTER IS BEING INVESTIGATED.

I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER PULLING TO THE RIGHT WITHOUT POWER, COMING TO A STOP, PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, AND RESTARTING. I MADE IT BACK HOME, BUT THE CAR HAS BEEN CRANKING OVER AND NOT STARTING WHEN IN MY GARAGE, THIS AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN BEFORE FROM 2006 ONWARD TO TODAY, ONLY A FEW TIMES A YEAR, AND CHANGED OUT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY EACH TIME AND THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, BUT THE CAR HAS NEVER STALLED WHILE DRIVING BEFORE NOW, ONLY WHEN SITTING AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. THE CAR ONLY HAS 73,000 MILES NOW AFTER 13 YEARS, I ALWAYS BABY THE CAR AND IT STILL LOOKS NEW. THANKS FOR ANY HELP WITH THIS MATTER

  MY DODGE MAGNUM FOR THE LAST YEAR " TOTAL OF 4 TIMES" HAS STALLED ONLY AFTER REFUELING ALONG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING. THERE IS NO WARNING !. NO ENGINE LIGHT.! THE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN . BUT THIS LAST TIME IT ALMOST CAUSED A ACCIDENT. TOO CLOSE TO A DISASTER. I HAD MY CHILD IN THE CAR . I HAVE READ THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. AND I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAPPENS TO. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING ADDRESSED !!! I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME WITH ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED. I BABY MY CAR WITH SERVICING . I HAVE 134,282 MILES. I HAVEN'T HAD A ISSUE WITH THE CAR EVER. UNTIL NOW. I BELIEVE IT'S A FAULTY PART. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. AS WELL AS THE PSYCHICAL STRESS NOT KNOWING WHEN MY CAR FAILS ME.

  I PURCHASED A 2006 MAGNUM FROM LITHIA OF FAIRFIELD IN MAY OF THIS YEAR, 2006. THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING FINE FOR THE FIRST FIVE MONTHS (MAY-OCT) WITH THE ONLY DISTRACTION BEING ONE OF THE REAR WINDOWS OPERATED FINE FROM BOTH POWER SWITCHES FOR 90% OF THE TIME. I TOOK IT IN DURING ROUTINE WARRANTY SERVICE AND EXPLAINED TO ONE OF THE SERVICE MANAGERS BUT BECAUSE THE POWER WINDOW SWITCHES WERE OPERABLE THAT DAY I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO (THAT DIDN'T SIT TO WELL WITH ME, BUT I SHRUGGED IT OFF AND SAID OK). IN OCTOBER, A FEW OTHER INCIDENTS HAPPENED LIKE THE BLUE TOOTH QUIT COMMUNICATING WITH THE SYSTEM. I FIGURED TO WAIT UNTIL MY NEXT ROUTINE SERVICE MAINTENANCE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT IN A FEW WEEKS. AROUND THE SAME TIME FRAME I NOTICED THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY INTO REVERSE AND THAT WHILE SUSTAINING A STEADY HIGHWAY CRUISING SPEED THE VEHICLE WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WASN'T FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS IF I GRADUALLY INCREASED THE RPMS. I MADE NOTE AND ASKED TO HAVE THIS INVESTIGATE AT THE SAME TIME I WAS TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. UNFORTUNATELY (OR FORTUNATE, DEPENDING ON POINT OF VIEW OF SURVIVING A HIGHWAY ACCIDENT), THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE ON THE WAY TO WORK DRIVING ON A VERY, VERY BUSY AND DANGEROUS STRETCH OF ROAD WHERE THE AVERAGE SPEED IS ABOUT 75 MPH. THE FORTUNATE PART OF THIS BEING I WAS ABLE TO LIMP ALONG FOR ABOUT ONE HALF MILE ON NEWLY COMPLETED SHOULDER OF THE ROAD TO AN EXIT. I LITERALLY SHUDDER, WHICH SENDS CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE, TO THINK "WHAT IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE?". *NM

  (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

  ACCELERATOR PEDAL BRACKET BROKE LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE ABILITY TO IDLE ONLY. I WAS AT AN 8 LANE INTERSECTION, VERY BUSY SPOT, THE TRAFFIC CONTROL LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING, THEY WERE FLASHING RED. I WAS PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, NOBODY WANTS TO LET YOU TURN, TRAFFIC WAS BACKED UP BIG TIME. I STARTED TO TURN AND HIT THE GAS PETAL AND THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN. NEXT THING I'M LOOKING AT A TRUCK RIGHT AT ME AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO QUICKLY GET OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT OR SAVE MY OWN LIFE. THE PETAL, BRACKET & WIRING LIED ON THE FLOOR-USELESS. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED TO A SQUAD CAR, I'LL BET SURE THE CHARGERS THE POLICE USE ARE BUILT THE SAME WAY. WELL I SUPPOSE THE CRIMINAL WOULD GET AWAY BECAUSE THE POLICE COULD ONLY IDLE TO CATCH THEM. I TOOK PICTURES IF INTERESTED. *TR

  ENGINE STALLS EVERY TIME FUEL TANK IS FILLED. TYPICALLY OCCURS AT AN IDLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLUP. LEAVES ME STRANDED IN TRAFFIC AND HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS DUE TO STALLING AT LOW SPEED, OR ACCELERATION FROM A LOW SPEED. HAS STALLED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC, CAUSING PEOPLE TO SWERVE OUT OF MY WAY ALMOST CAUSING SEVERAL COLLISIONS. *TR
