The car shuts down to a crawl . Can't get any codes from it. First time it happened was on the highway pulled to the side of the road and restarted ran fine for the rest of the day. Getting worst every since now sitting in the driveway no codes afraid to put the family in it.I think dodge discontinued because they can't keep up with the problems

Driving a car that stops running with no warning is very dangerous. I can not believe there is not a recall for this problem.

My 2005 dodge magnum accelerator pedal (p/n 04726004ab) fell off during a drive at highway speeds. I reached down to the floor to then operate the vehicle's fuel control by squeezing the pedal in my hand until I could safely park the vehicle. Upon closer inspection, the plastic mounting structure on the pedal assembly appears to have fatigue cracked at all three mounting locations resulting in this bazaar incident. The design appears to have high stress concentrations owing to its hard corners in the molded mounting part features.

I was stopped behind traffic at a stop light. When the light turned green I gave the vehicle some gas. At that time, my foot sank through the pedal as the entire gas pedal mechanism, not just the pedal pad, but the entire mechanism broke off and fell to the floor. I stopped the car immediately applying all brakes. I looked behind the pedal and it appeared the plastic molding attachment had broken off showing a shared piece of plastic where it had broken. Again, the entire pedal mechanism laid there on the floor with only the wiring attached. The car was towed to the dealer who had to charge a $99 diagnostic to look at the pedal and say you need a complete new pedal. The additional pedal will cost $249 plus labor. I still cant imagine what would have happened if I was on the highway.
