NHTSA Complaint #10509942 — 2006 DODGE MAGNUM

I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 MAGNUM SRT8 THIS PAST WINTER. WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH IN DRIVE, THE ENGINE CUTOFF AND LOST ALL POWER COMPLETELY. I ALSO LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THANK GOODNESS I WAS ON A BACK ROAD. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK, COMPLETELY TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTART THE CAR. IT RESTARTED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. I DROVE A FEW MORE MILES AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. AGAIN, LUCKY I WAS ON A BACK ROAD!! I MADE IT HOME AND IT STALLED A 3RD TIME JUST AS I PULLED IT INTO THE GARAGE. AGAIN, COMPLETELY RANDOM WHILE DRIVING!!!! I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO COULD NOT RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM. I PAID FOR THE 60,000 MILE SERVICE AND DID NOT HAVE ISSUES AGAIN UNTIL THIS PAST WEEKEND WHEN THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED 5 TIMES IN 2 DAYS. AGAIN, COMPLETELY RANDOM WHILE DRIVING!!. DANGEROUS. THESE PARTICULAR TIMES OCCURRED AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED ON THE ROAD. I WILL BE TAKING MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN FOR DIAGNOSTICS. I AM AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST AND IT DOESN'T TAKE TO ONE TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS COMPLETE ATTENTION AND A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION. I LOVE MY CAR BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. DODGE AND NHTSA, YOU CANNOT IGNORE THIS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AS I WILL BE CONTACTING YOU. *TR
