2005 Dodge Magnum engine and engine cooling problems

“RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP THE CAR STALLS MORE THAN ONCE. TODAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION THEN ON THE ENTRY TO THE HIGHWAY. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE 200,000+ COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET AND LOS ANGELES TIMES HAS MADE A REPORT ABOUT THIS. WE NEED A RECALL BEFORE SOME DIES. *TR”

“I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND THE CAR STOPPED GOING I LET IT SIT FOR AWHILE AND IT WENT A LITTLE THEN STOPPED I HAD TO TOW IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT WATER GOT INTO TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE WATER FLOWS FROM THE RADIATOR TO TRANS TO COOL IT. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS MIXED IN WATER AND WATER IN TRANSMISSION SO I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH AND CLEAN ENTIRE SYSTEM OUT. I ALSO AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY HEADLIGHTS STAYING ON AT NIGHT THEY KEEP GOING ON AND OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING I SEE THIS TOO IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR”

“WE PURCHASED A USED 2005 DODGE MAGNUM ON DECEMBER 13, 2010. IN MARCH 2011, WE BEGAN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUTTING OFF AND/OR LOSING POWER; ENGINE STALLING AND SPUTTERING; AND THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINING ILLUMINATED. WE PERFORMED THE NECESSARY MAINTENANCE -- OIL CHANGES, ETC. ON THE RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE. THE SUDDEN ENGINE CUTOFFS AND POWER LOSSES INCREASED; AND THEN ON SUNDAY, MAY 29, 2011, WE STARTED THE CAR AND THE ENGINE WAS MAKING VERY LOUD BANGING AND KNOCKING NOISES. TWO MECHANICS CHECKED THE CAR AND RENDERED THE SAME REPORT THAT IT IS A CRACKED INTAKE MANIFOLD. WE PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND WE WERE TOLD IT WOULDN'T BE COVERED AND THEN TOLD IT WOULD BE COVERED. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESOLUTION TO DATE REGARDING GETTING OUR CAR FIXED, YET WE ARE STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR WE CANNOT DRIVE. WE HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE DEALER TO GET SOME RESOLUTION; HOWEVER, NOTHING TO DATE. AT LAST CONTACT WITH THE MECHANIC, WE WERE TOLD THAT WE HAVE AN INTERNAL ENGINE PROBLEM AND THE CAR NEEDS TO BE RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. *TR”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE ENGINE OVERHEATED WITHOUT WARNING AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE ENGINE COOLING MODULE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTER HAD ALSO FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,500.”
