| V8 engine repeatedly and unpredictably stalls and loses power during driving and turning situations. recovers after 1-2 seconds in some instances, stalls completely and is difficult to restart in others. produces extremely hazardous and dangerous situations in traffic and at intersections. local dodge dealer (hall dodge) has had car for six weeks+ and has failed to correctly diagnose & repair. this appears to be a common very dangerous problem involves fuel tank valve, as it is more prevalent (see many online posts of identical symptoms since 2005 and before) after full fuel fill and persists until unrestricted fuel appears to have been used to sufficient degree. dealer has replaced unlikely items such as sunroof module and the abs module in futile and inept attempts to skirt the real issue. someone is going to die in one of these cars when it stalls --chrysler dodge is 100% knowledgeable of this defect in many of their cars, and will not acknowledge or make any attempt to correct it. we implore nhtsa to intervene imemediately! posted 27 feb 2013. | |||

| Please put your self in our shoe`s this has got to be dealt with or someone is going to get killed in a crash. please dont d let dodge skate on this one can we not get a class action lawsuit going? i hope i don`t crash and kill somebody`s child or loved one. 1. dangerous! entire car shakes when traveling at 40-80+ mph. the shake shows up in the steering wheel which makes the car unsafe to handle at speeds of 65mph. this shake is not present when braking, only under acceleration and usually only when you go over 40mph. the problem has gotten so bad that it actually hurts my ears do to the pulsing and pounding air preasure when only one window, any window is open. it is deafening!!. the wheels were balanced on 4 separate occasions and that didn't nothing but waist my time and money. 2. car nearly stalls out when shifting between first and second gear on wide open throttle. (can be dangerous if you expect the car to go and it stutters. almost appears as if it is going to stall, like it's starved for gas). and if all that is not enough, the rack and pinion need replacing, after only 53 thousand miles!!!??? it should last at least 150,000 miles i only drive about 10,000 miles a year! and on very smooth roads. now i am out of money and attempting to make ends meet on $995 dallors a month. don`t i / we have government backed consumer rights when these problems are so obveous and blatantly being ignored. dodge should by now, know what these problems are, and if not, they should feel abligated to at least find the cause of them. after all i purchased a dodge to help support an amarican icon just to find out that they actualy treat us worse than toyota treats there customers. i mean at least they are fixing and admitting there mistakes. i just hope myself or anyone else get hurt or killed do to there ignorance befor they finally bend over, grab there ears and pull there heads out of there .........! | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2006 dodge magnum. the contact has experienced several failures with her vehicle and electrical components. the driver's side seat belt was inoperable and failed to move when she attempted to pull and secure it over her body. she would have to turn off the vehicle and play with the belt for a while before it would operate properly. the dealer replaced the entire seat belt module, but the seat belt failed several times after the repair was performed. the manufacturer suggested that the failure could be related to the computer system in the vehicle. the contact was concerned that the seat belt would not operate correctly in the event of a crash. the dealer stated that they did not know what else to do to correct the failure. she was able to locate a technical service bulletin for the seat belt retractor. in addition, the sun roof was inoperable and would open and close intermittently. the failure and current mileages were less than 28,000. | |||
