2005 Dodge Magnum steering problems

“TURN SIGNAL RETURN CLOCK SPRING BROKEN TENDS TO LOCK STEERING WHEN BROKEN ARE MOVED BY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL #2 PROBLEM: TRANSMISSION LOCKED IN THE PARK POSITION CAN'T GET TO MOVE INTO DRIVE SOCAR CAN BE DRIVEN I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM; WHY ARE THESE TWO THINGS NOT ON RECALL? BOTH ARE SAFETY RELATED..”

“THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINT'S ONLINE ABOUT THE SHIFTER PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VEHICLE. AFTER CONTACTING CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS THEY SAID THE VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER RECALL AND THAT THE FOLLOWING YEAR MAGNUM SHIFTING PROBLEM WAS. WHEN I CAN FIND OVER 300 COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT MY YEAR VEHICLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF THE PARK INTO ANY GEARS.”

“VEHICLE DODGE MAGNUM R/T 5.7L 2005 ENGINE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN MOVING SLOW SPEED/LOW RPM, LOSES POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. DOES HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY MAY GO MONTHS WITHOUT AN INCIDENT. VEHICLE START NORMALLY RIGHT AFTER. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING LEFT TURN OVER ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANES AND CROSSING LANES. HAD TWO INCIDENTS YESTERDAY AS DESCRIBED. THIS ISSUE NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED FOR COMPLETE REPAIR. CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO WERE UNWILLING TO ASSIST WITH AN ISSUE BUT ADMIT WARRANTY EXTENSION TO THE FUEL TANK'S MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE FUEL SHUTOFF FLOAT IN THE 19-GALLON TANKS. I FOUND NHTSA COMMENT IN ITS SUMMARY OF THE CLOSED INVESTIGATION. "THE CONDITION REPRESENTS A LOW RISK TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY AND IS ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER'S EXTENDED WARRANTY." I DISAGREE WITH NHTSA COMMENTS WHETHER THIS IS "LOW RISK TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY". TRY TO BE STALLED ON THE LANE WHEN 20 TON DUMP TRUCK IS APPROACHING 50-60 MILES PER HOUR.”

“AFTER FILLING UP THE CAR WITH GAS IT STALLS AND YOU LOSE STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL, VERY DANGEROUS AND MY WIFE IS NOW SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR. STALLING WENT AWAY AFTER AN HOUR TRYING TO GET HOME. NEXT MORNING SEEMED TO RUN FINE. NEXT FILL UP DID THE SAME THING. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO CAUSE DEATHS FOR SURE IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY. CONTACTING THE DEALER ASAP TO SEE IF THEY HAVE OTHERS WITH SAME ISSUE. *TR”
