I have owned this 2006 dodge magnum se v6 2.7l from new, bought in april 2006, the problem I'm having is with the car stalling, without any notice, happening today when turning left at a stop light and starting uphill. I was able to restart the car after pulling to the right without power, coming to a stop, putting the car in park, and restarting. I made it back home, but the car has been cranking over and not starting when in my garage, this after filling up with gas. I've had this issue happen before from 2006 onward to today, only a few times a year, and changed out the fuel pump relay each time and thought that was the problem, but the car has never stalled while driving before now, only when sitting at a light or stop sign after filling up the tank. The car only has 73,000 miles now after 13 years, I always baby the car and it still looks new. Thanks for any help with this matter

What owners say
I have not had a complete failure. Waiting on that to happen. I purchased a brand new 2005 dodge magnum sxt with v6, automatic transmission in 2005 from a dealership. It had approximately 36 miles on it. I have not had the pulling to the right everyone else had, but it does make a funny scrubbing sound while driving as if the tire was rubbing against the car on the right rear passenger side and several other problems that are common. I have depressed the brake and felt vibrations from pedal on several occasions. The car doesn't seem to be able to stop completely. I even got out to look,thinking I hit something. A few months ago, the power outlet located inside the astray stopped working. It blew a fuse, I replaced it. Then, two weeks ago, the power outlet in the console stopped working. Just two days ago, the battery went dead for the second time in three months. I replaced the battery again. Now all the sudden the AC/heater stopped working. You can hear it trying to come on, but the fan motor doesn't seem to be coming on. We've noticed that the headlights seem to surge at night. I will be taking our car in to the dealership, along with copies of complaints from other consumers.
Bought an 05 hemi awd magnum w/20,000 miles in 07. Warranty expired at 85,000miles. Problems after problems, rack and pinion fixed, egr valve fixed, torque converter replaced once and still having the same issue. Shudders, vibrations, hard engine noises and stalls, pulls to the right, electrical problems with windows, sunroof, seats, GPS, instrument cluster, power outlets, hood and hatchback just fall down and bump your head. Passenger seat was missing bolts and wasn't fastened to frame. $200 keyless entry key replacement. No where near 24 mpg more like 14 down a flat 55mph highway. Currently 114,000 miles oil always changed around 3,000 miles and had a 3 tranny flushes. Take it to certified dodge dealerships and they cant figure out what is wrong with any of those problems and try and tell me that's the way it is. Uhhhhhhhuh..... Lemon?
2005 dodge magnum. Pulled to right when first purchased. Tires were aligned and balanced. Wear on tires. Replaced tires after 18000 miles due to a blowout on right rear tire. Tires had no tread on outside edge and overall tire. Dealer would only pay for two tires. Car pulled to right after new tires installed. The vehicle had all four tires aligned and balanced. The dealer paid for the alignement and balance under warranty. The vehicle pulled harder to the right after the alignment, contacted the business of where the vechicle was aligned. The vehicle was taken again, and had the owner personally check the vehicle before and after the alignment. The dealership would not cover this charge. The car pulled harder to the right than before. The car has 23000, and the tires wore out and will needed to be replaced again soon.
I have not had a complete failure. Waiting on that to happen. My husband and I purchased a used 2005 dodge magnum se with v6, automatic transmission)in late march early april of last year from a dealership. It had approximately 36000 miles on it. We have not had the pulling to the right everyone else had, but we have experienced several other problems that are common. I have depressed the brake and felt vibrations from pedal on several occasions. The car doesn't seem to be able to stop completely. I even got out to look,thinking I hit something. Upon take off, the transmission doesn't shift smoothly. You can feel it jerk, and slam your head back into seat. A few months ago, the power outlet located inside the astray stopped working. It blew a fuse, we replaced it. Then, two weeks ago, the power outlet in the console stopped working. Just two days ago, the battery went dead for the second time in three months. We replaced the battery again. Now all the sudden the AC/heater stopped working. You can hear it trying to come on, but the fan motor doesn't seem to be coming on. Sometimes the rear passenger side window will not roll down by either the driver's controls or the back controls. There was an occasion this week that the rear hatch wouldn't open. My husband had to crawl through the back to open it. My husband has also been driving the car to work in the morning and the car won't accelerate when the gas pedal is pushed. We've noticed that the headlights seem to surge at night, too. Our factory integrity tires also had the belts break. We will be taking our car in to the dealership, along with copies of complaints from other consumers. I was so excited to have a nice looking car. Apparently thats all that is nice about it.
My magnum would pull to the right. I took the car into the dealer since I bought new tires and rims at the time the pulling to the right became worse. The dealer replaced the front steering box and rack with a non-dealer one. Problem gone. The only reason the dealer replaced with a non chrysler item part was that they did not have any in stock.
2005 dodge magnum rt, continental tires started showing tread wear at 6000 miles. Dealer at 9000 miles made note of unusual tread wear and blamed it on excessive speed. At 11,000 miles 2 out of the 4 tires were completely worn through and the other 2 almost worn through. Car is 1.3 years old and has only been driven 11,000 miles. Dealer will not replace tires and continental will only give a 50% rebate on the tires but will not reimburse for mounting and alignment. Car also pulls to the right consistently.
