2005 DODGE MAGNUM Engine Problems

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

WE HAVE A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CAR WOULD STALL AND SHUT OFF. WE HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED, INSTEAD OF A RECALL, THEY CHANGED IT OUT WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE FUEL PUMP. THE PROBLEM IS, THE FUEL PUMP HASN'T WORKED, IT'S MADE MY CAR WORSE. AFTER WAITING 5 MONTHS FOR A REPLACEMENT, MY CAR STILL DOESN'T WORK. I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR, IT'S WAY TOO DANGEROUS. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THERE WASN'T A RECALL. I HAVE READ PLENTY OF BLOGS ONLINE AND THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE THAT THIS HASN'T WORKED FOR EITHER. RE OPEN THE [XXX] CASE AND GET OUR CARS FIXED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FATAL ENGINE FAILURE. EXHAUST VALVE DROPPED WITHOUT ANY PREVIOUS NOISE. RUINED ENTIRE ENGINE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE EPS AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

THE ENGINE STALLS AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MANY YEARS. IT WILL STALL 2 OR 3 TIMES EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED. MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL DO IT IN TRAFFIC JUST AFTER GETTING FUEL. THIS TOOK US A WHILE TO FIGURE OUT. WE USED TO FILL UP ALL THE WAY AND NOW WE TRY TO STOP FILLING BEFORE IT IS FULL TO JUST AVOID THE PROBLEM. *TR

OUR 2005 DODGE MAGNUM RT HEMI. THE TOP RADIATOR HOSE CAME COMPLETELY OFF. DUMPING ALL THE COOLANT. NO SMELL OF COOLANT, NO WARNING ON THE DASH. NO CODES IN THE SYSTEM. WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW FROM THE DEALER .WE HAVE DONE ALL THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. WITH ONLY 63,000 MILES. A VERY BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. NOW THE ENGINE IS SEIZED. WHAT IS THE CAUSED THE RADIATOR HOSE TO COME OFF? A COOLING TSB THAT WE HAVEN'T NOTIFIED ABOUT FROM THE MANUFACTURE? WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A TSB FROM THE MANUFACTURE OR THE LOCAL DEALER WHERE THE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE CAR WILL STALL EVERY TIME AFTER I FILL UP THE GAS. IT 'S VERY SCARY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE CAR WILL DIE ON ME WHEN I'M ON THE ROAD AND CARS ARE BEHIND ME AND JUST VERY AFRAID OF SOMEONE IS GOING TO HIT ME FROM BEHIND WHEN MY CAR DIES ON ME SUDDENLY. YESTERDAY I WENT TO FILL UP THE TANK ( NOT ALL THE WAY FULL ), AFTER I DROVE ABOUT 1 BLOCK, THE CAR STALLED. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE BRAKES LOST POWER, I RAN OFF THE ROAD AND DOWN AN EMBANKMENT TO A PARKING LOT RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT AS I HIT THE CURB. SOME MINOR BODY DAMAGE. *TR

EVERY TIME YOU FILL CAR WITH GAS IT STALLS YOU HAVE TO BURN OFF GAS BEFORE YOU CAN DRIVE. *TR

DRIVING A CAR THAT STOPS RUNNING WITH NO WARNING IS VERY DANGEROUS. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM (45000) ACTUAL MILES WITH THE 3.5 HIGH OUTPUT ENGINE. WHEN THE CARE IS STARTED IT MAKES A HIGH END VALVE COVER ROCKER ARE NOISE. I TOOK IT TO DODGE TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT, THEIR RESPONSE WAS YEP TYPICAL 3.5 L MOTOR. THEY SAID THAT IS I PURCHASE THE PARTS THEY WILL INSTALL AT DISCOUNTED RATE. THE PARTS ARE $345.00 PER SIDE. SO NEARLY $1500.00 TO GET THIS FIXED THAT SHOULD BE FIXED UNDER A RECALL STATUS. DOING INTERNET RESEARCH, TALKING TO OTHER OWNERS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WE ARE ALL IN AGREEMENT. THE CONSUMER IS GETTING THE SHAFT ON THIS ONE. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THE BRACKET THAT MOUNTS TO THE CYLINDER AND IS LINED UP INTO PLACE VIA A STEEL DOWEL PIN, THE PIN IS SHEARING OFF FORCING THE ROCKER ARM SHAFT TO ROTATE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE OIL GALLEYS THAT...

AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK WITH REGULAR 87 OCTANE AND TRAVELING LESS THAN A MILE THE VEHICLE STALLED. I WOULD RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD STALL AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL ABOUT 10-15 MILES IT WOULD SUBSIDE. I REALIZED AFTER SEVERAL FILL UPS THERE MUST BE A CORRELATION SO I TOOK MY 2005 V8 MAGNUM INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT WOULD COST BETWEEN 1,500 TO 2 GRAND TO EVALUATE AND FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH THEY THOUGHT HAD TO DO WITH THE FUEL TANK. SINCE I COULD NOT AFFORD THE REPAIR COST THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO STOP SHORT OF FILLING UP THE TANK. NO STALLS OCCURRED IF I WOULD FILL UP THE TANK 3/4. THIS WENT ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS UNTIL ONE DAY I WAS DISTRACTED AND FILLED THE TANK UP 100%. IT DID NOT STALL AT LOW SPEEDS BUT WHEN I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY STALLED...

DROVE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AT 70F AMBIENT. TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND WAS AWAY FROM IT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. RESTARTED ENGINE AND IT HAD LITTLE IF ANY COMPRESSION AND MADE A BAD METAL BANGING SOUND WHEN STARTED. ENGINE DESTROYED. DEALERSHIP ANALYSIS REVEALED #3 INTAKE VALVE SEAT FELL OUT OF HEAD AND DESTROYED #3 PISTON AND CYLINDER REQUIRING A NEW ENGINE. VEHICLE HAS 91,000 MILES. *TR

MY DODGE MAGNUM R/T, 2005, PERIODICALLY STALLS FOR THE FIRST SEVERAL MILES AFTER A FILL-UP. THIS WAS SPORATIC AT FIRST, BUT NOW HAPPENS WITH NEARLY EVERY FILL-UP. NORMALLY IT WILL BE A MOMENTARY EVENT WHILE UNDER POWER, BUT IF I AM STOPPED AND IDLING THE ENGINE WILL DIE. IT WILL TYPICALLY RESTART RIGHT AWAY. *TR

CAR STALLS MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER REFUELING, INCLUDING IN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. *TR

IF I FILL MY TANK AND I DRIVE IT AWAY FROM THE PUMP, IT WILL STUTTER, HESITATE, JERK, THEN DIE. I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ENGINE. AFTERWARDS, IT WON'T IMMEDIATELY RESTART. IT WILL START AGAIN AFTER A FEW MINUTES. IT WON'T START DRIVING GOOD AGAIN UNTIL I RUN THE GAS LEVEL DOWN A LITTLE. AFTER I FILL, IT WILL RUN OK UNTIL I MAKE A TURN OR COME TO A STOP, SOMETHING THAT WILL SLOSH THE FUEL IN THE TANK AGAIN THEN IT WILL ACT LIKE IT IS STARVED FOR FUEL. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I FILL MY TANK. IF I DON'T FILL IT COMPLETELY THEN IT WILL DO IT. IT NEVER DID THIS WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY CAR. ONE TIME AFTER I THIS HAPPENED, I OPENED THE GAS CAP AND IT WAS HISSING AND SPITTING GAS JUST SITTING THERE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS IF THIS...

AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK WITHOUT TOPPING OFF, MY CAR STALLS WITHIN THE FIRST 300 FEET OF THE GAS STATION AND IS THEN HARD TO START. ONCE IT'S RESTARTED, FOR THE NEXT 40-60 MILES OF DRIVING, MY CAR HESITATES AND WILL OFTEN STALL AT ANY LOW SPEEDS OR STOPS UNLESS I DROP IT INTO NEUTRAL AND REV IT UP. 60-100 MILES AFTER A FULL TANK, THE CAR WILL BUCK WHEN COMING OUT OF A TURN AND THEN STALL IF I LET OFF THE GAS. *TR

RUNNING LOW ON GAS ON JANUARY 15TH I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO REFUEL. I PURCHASED 91 OCTANE, PLACED THE NOZZLE IN THE GAS TANK TUBE AND BEGAN TO REFUEL. ONCE THE PUMP CLICKED I REPLACED THE GAS NOZZLE, TIGHTENED THE GAS CAP, STARTED THE CAR AND DROVE OFF. LESS THAN TWO MINUTES LATER AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON. I QUICKLY PLACED THE GEAR IN PARK, AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE. AFTER TRYING THREE TIMES IT FINALLY TURNS OVER AND I AM ABLE TO DRIVE OFF. ONE MINUTE LATER IT SHUTS OFF AGAIN AS I AM BEGINNING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY. SAME SCENARIO AS BEFORE. NOW EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK TO THE POINT WHERE THE GAS NOZZLE CLICKS THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN THE FIRST 10 MILES...

FILLED TANK AND CAR STALL WHILE IN THE STREET! *TR

CAR STALLS SHORTLY AFTER FILLING UP. *TR

JUST BOUGHT THE CAR, FILLED UP THE FUEL TANK AT GAS STATION AND WENT FOR A DRIVE. AT THE FIRST STOP LIGHT I CAME TO THE CAR STALLED WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO STOP COASTED TO A STOP AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, RESUMED DRIVING AND IT WAS DRIVING OK GOT ONTO THE ON-RAMP TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL THE FUEL LEVEL WENT DOWN AFTER DRIVING. *TR

BOUGHT A USED 2005 DODGE MAGNUM 5.7L RT IN 2011. I'VE HAD MULTIPLE STALLING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. LIKES TO STALL RIGHT AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. ALSO STALLS WITH GAS TANK AT NEARLY EMPTY. CAN SOMETIMES STALL WHEN MAKING RIGHT/LEFT TURNS OR U-TURNS AT INTERSECTIONS. I'VE LEARNED TO ONLY FILL UP TO HALF A TANK, BUT ISSUES STILL OCCUR. THE VEHICLE ALWAYS STALLS WHEN GOING UP A RAMP IN A MULTIPLE STORY PARKING GARAGE. WHEN GOING UP THE RAMP, JUST AS THE CAR BEGINS TO GET LEVEL WITH THE FLOOR AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP, THE VEHICLE STALLS JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME. SEEMS LIKE A GAS TANK FUEL PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT A SAFETY FEATURE BUILT INTO THE VEHICLE TURNS THE ENGINE OFF IN THE EVENT OF FUEL DETECTION IN AN AREA OF THE GAS TANK WHERE NO GAS SHOULD BE. MOST LIKELY IN CASE OF AN...

THE ENGINE ON THE 2005 DODGE MAGNUM 3.5L HAS A PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE. IN THIS CASE AND CITING A TSB FROM DODGE THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ROCKER ARMS, VALVES, AND EGR VALVE THAT ALLOWS THIS ENGINE TO MAKE A LOT OF NOISE. I CONTACTED DODGE DIRECTLY AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP OUT. I THINK SOMEONE FROM YOUR DEPT SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM IT DOES NOT ONLY AFFECT THE MAGNUM BUT ANY DODGE VEHICLE WITH THIS MOTOR. *TR

WENT OUT TO START THE CAR ON 11/7/13 AND COULD NOT GET THE SHIFT OUT OF PARK. CALLED THE DODGE DEALER AND HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG. CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND THE OWNER SAID THAT HE ALSO KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG AND THAT HIS SMALL TOWING SERVICE HAD TOWED HUNDREDS OF CHRYSLER / DODGE CARS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MY PROBLEM - CANNOT GET OUT OF PARK. I ALSO CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY KNEW OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THAT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED - ONLY CERTAIN VIN'S ARE COVERED. IF THERE ARE 100'S OF CARS JUST IN MY SMALL LOCATION, THERE MUST BE 1000'S, IF NOT TENS OF THOUSANDS AFFECTED VEHICLES NATION WIDE. I WILL ALSO MENTION THAT THE MANUAL OVERRIDE FOR THE SHIFTER DID NOT WORK, SO...

AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION, I DROVE THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE AND THE CAR STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME PROBABLY A DOZEN TIMES SINCE MARCH OF THIS YEAR. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AFTER EVERY FILL UP, PROBABLY EVERY 4 TIMES IT HAPPENS. *TR

WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR SHUTS DOWN. THIS FIRST OCCURRED AT A RED LIGHT. THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE KEY AND RESTART IT WITHOUT PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE AT A STOP, WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, IN TOWN DRIVING, HIGHWAY DRIVING, WHEN IT'S HOT OUTSIDE, WHEN IT'S COOL OUTSIDE, WHEN IDLING. THERE ARE NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS (ENGINE, OIL, ETC). THERE ARE NO SOUNDS, NO SHUDDERING, NO KICKING. MY ONLY INDICATION THAT THE CAR HAS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF IS THAT THE TACH NEEDLE GOES IMMEDIATELY TO ZERO. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO USE THE MOMENTUM OF THE VEHICLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AT WHICH TIME I TURN THE KEY TO OFF, WAIT A MOMENT, AND TURN IT BACK ON. IT RESTARTS WITHOUT PROBLEMS. IF I TRY TO RESTART TOO QUICKLY, THERE SEEMS TO BE A HESITATION...

ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO DESIGN FLAW ALLOWING OIL AND COOLANT TO LEAK INTO CYLINDER, BLOWING THE ENGINE. HAD A TOTAL ENGINE REBUILD, COSTING 4000.00. HAPPENED 5 MONTHS LATER, NEEDED VALVE SPRINGS AND HEAD DONE AGAIN, ANOTHER 1000.00. ENGINE LIGHT NEVER GOES OUT, NO INSPECTION STICKER, NUMBER 1 CYLINDER HAS EATEN 2 CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, AND ALWAYS PUTTING OIL IN. NO LONG DISTANCES, JUST LOCAL DRIVING. *TR

MOVING AT VERY SLOW SPEED, ENGINE STALLS. COME TO STOP - PUT IN PARK AND THEN RESTART. RESTARTS ON FIRST TRY, HOWEVER, THERE IS A NOTABLE 'SOUND' UPON IGNITION - ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE A 'POP' OR 'RELEASE'. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROX TEN TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. NOTHING IS SO CONSISTENT WITH EACH SITUATION THAT CAN CONCLUSIVELY SAY WHAT/IF THE CAUSE IS. LUCKILY HAS NOT OCCURRED YET ON HIGHWAY, ETC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE LIGHT BULB WARNING ICON. THE FAILURE RECURRED FORTY TIMES OVER SEVERAL YEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND WOULD MOSTLY RECUR AFTER THE CONTACT REFUELED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

AFTER FUELING UP THE VEHICLE TO A FULL TANK THE CAR SEEMS TO WANT TO STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS HAPPENED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN A SPAN OF 3 STOP LIGHTS AND WHEN YOU GO TO RESTART THE CAR IT DOESN'T WANT TO START RIGHT AWAY LEAVING YOU VULNERABLE AT A STOP LIGHT JUST SITTING THERE. *TR

CAR STALLED (LOSS OF POWER) AFTER HAVING REFUELED (TO FULL). OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL WE DETERMINED THAT FUELING TO 3/4 FULL RESULTED IN NO STALLING. STALLING OCCURRED WITHIN 1/4 MILE OF DRIVING AWAY FROM FUELING LOCATION - OFTEN IN TRAFFIC! *TR

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND/OR STALLS. THIS CAN HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER ONE FILLUP. THE VEHICLE IS DISABLED IN TRAFFIC AND CAN BE DIFFICULT TO RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES NOW AND I AM AFRAID SOMEONE COULD BE INJURED OF KILLED. I RUFUSE TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. *TR

I OWN A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM R/T WITH THE 5.7L HEMI. I WAS DRIVING FROM UTAH TO MISSOURI FOR WORK. ONCE I GOT TO LINCOLN, NEBRASKA IT WAS RAINING AND OUT OF NO WHERE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH AND MY ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE A VERY BAD KNOCKING NOISE. I ENDED UP HAVING TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE HE FOUND THAT A VALVE SEAL DROPPED IN CYLINDER 6. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. NO SMALL TICKING NOISE FROM THE VALVE HITTING THE SEAL, NO WATER IN THE OIL, NO OIL IN THE WATER, NO METAL FLAKES IN THE OIL. FROM THE KNOWLEDGE OF MYSELF, MY DAD (12 YEAR DIESEL MECHANIC), THE MECHANIC THAT I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO WHO (HAS AN A+ BBB RATING AND HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 14 YEARS), AND FROM THE RESEARCH...

THE CAR STARTED NORMALLY AFTER SITTING IN A PARKING LOT FOR 30 MINUTES. WHEN THE CAR WAS PLACED IN REVERSE, THE CAR LURCHED BACKWARDS AND BEGAN ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN. I QUICKLY APPLIED THE BRAKES AND STOPPED THE CAR AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RACE FROM IDLE TO 3000RPM. I REPEATEDLY TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR AND THE SAME ISSUE AROSE. FINALLY THE CAR SETTLED DOWN AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD AND I REPLACED IT. SAME ISSUE REAPPEARED AND I WAS THEN TOLD IT NEEDED TO BE INITIALIZED TO THE NEW THROTTLE BODY. THE DAY AFTER HAVING THE WORK DONE AT THE DEALER THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN IN TRAFFIC. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE PCM'S...
