I have attempted to contact my local dealership several times to replace the airbags on this recall. They claimed months ago, stated “It’s on back order” and took my info claiming they’d contact me when the parts are in. They never contacted me. I keep attempting to make appointments with Lithia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat of Tri-Cities 7171 W. Canal Dr, Kennewick WA Recalls aren’t handled by a live person, just an automated message stating “we’ll get back to you soon” They don’t. I’ve been trying to get this replaced for a year. I would lien someone to contact Dodge or this dealership and ask them to stop hiding from mandatory recalls.

I have an 05 Dodge Magnum RT 5.7L Hemi, that intermittently stalls after filling the gas tank, and continues to do this until gas goes down a little. After dealing with/living with this problem for a while, I finally took my car to a shop and told them what was happening. They told me I needed to replace the right fuel pump module, which I did. This was 02/19/2016, at a cost of $287.94. The car had78,728 miles on the vehicle at this time. This did not fix the problem. I told the shop this, and I was told they couldn't find any other problem. After which I learned to live with it by not filling the tank up all they way. Recently I was not paying close enough attention when putting gas in, because I was washing my windshield. The car filled up until the pump clicked off. Upon leaving the gas station in morning rush hour traffic, my car immediately stalled. I was nearly rear ended. it took about 10 to 15 seconds to restart it. I was able to make the next green light to merge onto freeway, so I didn't need to slow down. (I should mention that the stalls only occur at slow speeds and stops, after the car has been filled with gas.) I had to slow way down to merge, and my car again stalled. I finally go it to start again only to have this happen 6 more times in stop and go traffic in 1 mile! Even though I was able to get to the right shoulder of the freeway until I could turn off, I caused major traffic delays. After telling a a co-worker about this, he told me he has the exact same car, which had the exact same problem. He then informed me there was an lifetime warranty to fix this problem, and his was fixed under this warranty a couple of months ago. I have found information regarding this warranty on-line, but nothing comes up when I enter my vin, even though it is the exact same year, make, and model of all the other cars that were fixed. I keep my car in top shape. It has no other issues than this...and I have been dealing with it since 2015!

All 4 tires is less then 4 years old made on same date one tire has separate completely around the bead the others has started doing the same thing this car was my late wife’s car and I gave it to my daughter and she really takes care of it all maintenance is kept up that is how I found the problem doing a break job on the car it looks like someone took a knife and cut the bead perfectly around the bead and the othe 3 is doing the same thing I took one tire back to discount tires where I got them and they have the really bad one All tires has the same code RBLF DD5R1120 ProTouring AS P215/65/R17

Airbag lights suddenly always on. Unknown if they are working or about to deploy. Hesitation in transmission while shifting, not sure if working properly. I haven't had any recalls fixed on this vehicle. It showed recalls and suddenly it shows all repaired. Is it due to the year?2005? Seat belts don't retract and are have to be manually maneuvered.

The malfunction to report is after fueling the vehicle will stall out. There is the sign of the fuel sending unit and fuel pump cycling after the ignition is turned on. This only occurs after topping off the fuel. The safety of operation is the stalling may occur while driving as well as at sitting still. When driving and the vehicles stalls causes the steering wheel to stiffen and the must come to a complete stop, placed in park, turn off the ignition and wait for the possible reset. The problem has not been reviewed on my particular vehicle but has been reported by other 2005 Magnum owners. No other manufacturing process has inspected my vehicle. And there are no warning lights that come to indicate there is a problem.

Vehicle has stalled 3 times in past year and won't start back up. I have mechanic fix fuel pump and other related parts to fuel. It is very unsafe. The car just stalls driving and wants to start but dies on me.

I AM EXPERIENCING AN ENGINE STALL AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK. I HAVE STALLED AFTER JUST LEAVING THE GAS STATION ON MAIN ROADS AND EVEN THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRAFFIC IS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65+. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS TO REPORT TO LAW ENFORCEMENT SO I DONT HAVE RECORD OF THAT. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER BEFORE TO ASK ABOUT THE RECALL BUT THEY ONLY SAID IT WAS NOT ON THE LIST AND I DID NOT RECEIVE A CALL BACK. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR AT LEAST A FEW YEARS (I DONT HAVE AN EXACT TIME FRAME) BUT ONLY THIS LAST YEAR DID THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. I HAD THE CODE CHECKED WHILE THE LIGHT WAS ON AND IT WAS NOT FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED ISSUE, SO I DONT THINK MY VEHICLE IS REGISTERING THE STALLING.

The vehicle stalled during normal use traveling about 35 miles an hour right after an intersection. MY husband was able to safely make it off the road as we live in a small town he did this by feathering the accelerator pedal. He is a mechanic so he was able to get it home by lightly tapping the pedal. If he pressed the pedal too hard the car stalled without warning so he lightly tapped on it and made it 2 blocks to our home where it has set in the driveway ever since. We spent over $1000 replacing parts such as the throttle body and the fuel pump and sending unit, egr, pcv, crankshaft sensor, plugs,injectors, intake seals, air intake temperature sensor and throttle body which include the throttle position sensor. Before we went for the cam sensor I decided to look up the issue and found so many with the same problem as us. We are veterans on a semi fixed income with a 10 month old daughter and this is our only vehicle we live in a super hot place in northern Arizona and can not afford further repairs as every part seems to be quite expensive. I don't have the fear of it dying while transporting my daughter again as it won't even stay started since the first incident. Additionally there are no codes or dash indicator lights staying on. We will be contacting Dodge in Kingman Arizona today.

I was braking when the brakes didn't stop the tires and it slid into a curve.

When vehicle has been filled up with gas it will intermittently die until it has around 50 miles on it. Usually sputters and dies without warning leaving you with no steering or brakes. Will restart but die until some fuel is ran out. I have scheduled to have the gas tank replaced but the fee is around $150

My pcm and tcm needs flash update I am a new owner on vehicle and The last owner has not gotten required updates

The contact's wife owns a 2005 Dodge Magnum. The contact stated that his wife had received a recall notice for NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V352000 (Air Bags). His wife had taken the vehicle to the dealer to have the recall serviced; however, upon return of the vehicle, the passenger’s side air bag off warning light illuminated. His wife took the vehicle back to the dealer where she was informed that she had to pay a diagnostic fee for an inspection. The contact then notified the manufacturer and he was informed that if the diagnostic determined that the dealer was at fault for the failure, he would be reimbursed. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Magnum. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled after refueling. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated.

ON AROUND NOVEMBER LATE OR BEGINNING DECEMBER OF 2020 I COME OUT OF THE STORE AND MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG HAD DEPLOYED. AT THIS TIME BEING UNABLE TO DRIVE I GOT THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC SHOP TO SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE TO MAKE DRIVEABLE. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT HE FIXED IN ORDER TO MAKE DRIVEABLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACE THE (FIXED) THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT DIDNT DO THE DRIVER SIDE BECAUSE THEY SAID IS WAS FOR THE DEFLATER AND NOT FOR THE BAG ITSELF SO THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT. SO THEY WANT ME TO PAY MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT TO ME IS A MANUFACTURER DEFAULT. I THINK IT IS UNFAIR FOR ME TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR.

EVERYTIME I FUEL UP NO MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL I PUT IN MY CAR WILL STALL MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE I'M DRIVING AFTERWARDS, INCLUDING INSIDE AND INTERSECTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE FULL TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM STALLING. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE SEAL TO THE TANK WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTROL VALVE FAILED CAUSING FUEL TO ENTER THE PURGE LINE TO LEAK AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HUNTER DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FIAT (1130 AUTO MALL DR, LANCASTER, CA 93534) WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 204,000.

I MADE A REPORT A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, I THINK I PUT IT IN WRONG. MY PROBLEM IS ENGINE STALLING WHILE I AM DRIVING, I WAS INFORMED THAT CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON ITS GAS TANK , INDEFINITELY. THEY SAY THE FLOAT STICKS AND CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL.

WHEN I AM DRIVING CAR, IT WILL STALL WHILE I AM GOING 55 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS. HAPPENED REPEATEDLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE FAILED AND CAUSED THE TIRES TO SKIP AND BOUNCE. THE CONTACT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE HIMSELF. THE CONTACT REMOVED THE PLANETARY GEAR CLUTCH SYSTEM AND REPLACED THE CAP. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60, 000.

MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THIS MORNING. IT COMES ON AN GOES OFF COMES ON AND GO OFF.

IN APRIL 2013 I TOOK MY 05 MAGNUM TO SUNSET DODGE IN SARASOTA TO FIND OUT WHY THE CAR WAS STALLING AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS. AFTER 5 MONTHS OF GOING BACK TO THEM AND THEM NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. I STOPPED FILLING THE CAR UP ALL THE WAY AND THE PROBLEM STOPPED. THIS IS WHAT I NEED TO DO TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING. THE DEALER SAID IT IS NOT OUR PROBLEM. I NOW FIND OUT IT WAS A KNOW ISSUE AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WHAT CAN YOU DO.

CAR ENGINE QUITS RUNNING AFTER STARTUP FOLLOWING REFUELING, AND SEVERAL TIMES THEREAFTER, REQUIRING THAT THE ENGINE BE RESTARTED EACH TIME. IT OCCURS AFTER EACH REFUELING. ALL OPERATIONAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS LOST WHEN THE ENGINE QUITS. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A GREAT SAFETY HAZARD.

NOTICED WITH CERTAIN SPEEDS AND RPM RANGES, TRANSMISSION (42RLE) WILL HAVE VERY HARD UPSHIFT (FEELS ALMOST LIKE I'M BEING REAR ENDED) AND LACK POWER COMPARED TO OTHER TIMES. AS DISCUSSED IN A FORUM, OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH AND/OR THE PCM PROGRAMMING THAT MAKES THE TRANSMISSION BEHAVE IN THIS WAY. I TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLE AND PERFORM REGULAR MAINTENANCE. EVEN AFTER TRANSMISSION FLUSHES, PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT.

MY DAHBOARD LIGHTS AND MY HEADLIGHT OSCILLATES ALL THE TIME THE CAR IS RUNNING N DRIVING..IVE HAD PEOPLE SURVE N TURN THEYRE BRIGHTS ON ME IN THE DARK ITS VERY DANGEROUS AND I CANT DRIVE MY CAR..BEEN TO DODGE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES.THEYFIX THISN THAT AND CHARGED ME OVER 1500 DOLLARS AND ITS NOT FIXED .THEY SONT KNOW WHAT IT IS N ACT LIKE THEY DONT CARE TO FIX IT

AFTER FUELING AT A GAS STATION AND ONLY FUELING UNTIL THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, THE ENGINE DIES ABOUT A BLOCK AWAY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE GETS A FULL TANK OF GAS.

ORIGINAL OWNER OF 2005 DODGE MAGNUM R/T 5.7L. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME SINCE PURCHASE OF THE CAR THAT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE LUG NUTS ON ALL 4 TIRES. THIS IS THE 2ND COMPLAINT FILED. I FILED A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT IN 2014. LUG NUTS SHOULD NOT BE DESIGNED WITH FANCY CHROME THAT SPINS ROUND AND ROUND AND REQUIRES SPECIAL SOCKET TO REMOVE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. NOT SURE HOW MANY OTHER CAR OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED MY SITUATION WITH LUG NUTS BUT THE DESIGN AND COST FOR REPLACEMENT IS CRIMINAL AND REQUIRES AN INVESTIGATION.

IN APRIL 2013 I TOOK MY 05 MAGNUM TO SUNSET DODGE IN SARASOTA TO FIND OUT WHY THE CAR STALLS. AFTER 5 MONTHS OF GOING BACK TO THEM AND THEM NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. I STOPPED FILLING THE CAR UP ALL THE WAY AND THE PROBLEM STOPPED. THE DEALER SAID IT IS NOT OUR PROBLEM. I NOW FIND OUT IT WAS A KNOW ISSUE AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

FILLED FUEL TANK UP AS USUAL THEN STARTED THE CAR AND IMMEDIATELY THE CAR STALLED. I RESTARTED IT AND IT STALLED AGAIN. STARTED CAR AGAIN WHILE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND IT DROVE A FEW SECONDS THEN A SUPER HARD MISFIRE AND IT CUT OFF AGAIN. FINALLY STARTS AND IDLES TERRIBLY...RUNS TERRIBLY FOR ABOUT 10 MILES THEN IT SEEMS TO BALANCE ITSELF OUT. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS AND ALMOST CAUSED SOMEONE TO REAR END ME A FEW TIMES. I HEAR THERE'S A RECALL OR LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANK BUT NO NOTICE WAS EVER SENT TO ME.

CAR KEPT STALLING WHILE DRIVING. ON TWO OCCASIONS IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS. SPENT $1500 ON REPLACING/FIXING PARTS THAT NEVER SOLVED THE PROBLEM. FINALLY I RESEARCHED IT FOUND OUT IT COULD BE A FUEL TANK ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHILE DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.
