2007 Dodge Magnum engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While car was at idle the electric cooling fan "broke apart" and damaged the radiator. Dodge stated that a recall was issued for the problem but only for cars in warm weather areas (I guess california is considered a cold weather area) dealer stated that even though I live in a warm weather area the recall will still not apply to my vehicle. I find this totally unacceptable and will not continue my business with dodge any longer.
First instance, while slowing down for a stop light felt a shudder and engine shut off, all other systems appeared normal. Coasted to stop, engine restarted without trouble. Near full tank of fuel. Second instance, while in a parking lot shifting from park to reverse engine shut off, all other systems appeared normal and engine restarted without trouble. Filled fuel tank the previous day, 3/4 tank today. Has happened on other occasions while driving at slow speeds but I do not remember the quantity of fuel, each time that car has restarted without instance and each time everything else appeared normal. The engine always seems to run properly and all of the cars other systems seem to operate normally.
While driving through arizona in my 2007 dodge magnum sxt one of the cooling fans disintegrated and damaged my radiator punching holes and causing coolant to begin rapidly leaking. After assessing the damage I was able to limp the car along to the next town where I waited for a friend to pick up a new radiator and drive 2 hours to our location where we changed it out in a parking lot. It was 107 degrees. 2 days later I purchased and installed the fan from the local dodge dealer. I returned home the next day and began researching the cause of this equipment failure. It turns out that chrysler released a recall "customer satisfaction notification l08 engine cooling fans" for 2006 thru 2008 model year vehicles with "severe duty engine cooling" systems with the sales code nms, xdl or xdk and built through april 29, 2008. My vehicle has the sales code nmcp and has been excluded from the recall. However my research reveals that there is no distinguishable difference in the fans part number from the years 2004 thru 2014. Contacting chrysler about this brought no results. I recommend establishing a record of these fan failure occurrences in vehicles that have other than the recall's stated sales codes, and that a new recall for all vehicles with this cooling fan system be released. The existing recall includes "sold to sales codes and/or are currently registered in warm climate states...". I live in a designated warm climate state according to the recall. We were fortunate that the blades didn't cut any high pressure hydraulic lines or other safety critical or fuel lines.

My 2007 magnum has 48k miles and recently had the engine light come on showing code 1004. Research online shows this code to be very prevalent with this model of dodge, yet they claim it is not an issue, and are asking $1300+ for replacement/parts for the intake and short-runner actuators. As well, my sunroof track failed and the sunroof will not move. Both the guide attached to the glass and the sunroof assembly both have broken plastic parts.
