#37 of 73 Problems starting by luckytiki Aug 27, 2006 (12:26 pm)
Hello I'm new here and unfortunately my first post is a mechanical problem...   I just bought a 2006 SXT 3.5L w/ 12K miles and a few times it's had problems starting. It acts like it's flooded or not getting gas and only starts after pumping the gas and than holding it down to clear it out several times; it idles rough for a few minutes and than is fine. It only does this when it sits for a couple hours or more, but not all the time. After about the third time the check engine light came on and has stayed on (it's only been a day or so since it came on with minimal driving).   It just came off the lot and is still under warranty, so I will be taking it in first thing when they open, but I'm interested if anyone has experienced this and knows what's going on. Thanks, -Russ Replies to this message: george5 (Jan 01, 2007 10:03 pm)
#38 of 73 Recall Notice: 3.5L Engine by gboomer Sep 28, 2006 (10:51 am)
Just got recall notice #F35 in the mail. "The engine in your vehicle may have been assembled with sand-like debris on the number two connecting rod bearing journal of the crankshaft. This can cause excessive rod bearing wear and result in engine failure." Says they will inspect the engine and if necessary replace the engine.   Anyone else see this notice or experience this problem?

Replying to: gboomer (Sep 28, 2006 10:51 am) Nothing yet !!!!   What year is your car ? Is it a later model. I have a 2005, but purchased in Nov. 2004. Replies to this message: gboomer (Sep 29, 2006 11:07 am) gboomer (Oct 06, 2006 7:43 am)

Replying to: scarab22 (Sep 29, 2006 4:40 am) 2006 SXT, purchased in May 2006. In talking to the dealer, this recall affects vehicles manufactured during certain dates. I'm taking it in to the dealer on Monday. Replies to this message: gboomer (Oct 06, 2006 7:43 am)

Replying to: gboomer (Sep 29, 2006 11:07 am) Just a quick update regarding the recall notice on 3.5L engine. This notice only affected 4 cars in the Maryland region where I bought my car, 2 of these were in the Pacifica. The dealer found no sand in the crank shaft bearing and I now have my car back. Luckily, I haven't had any other major issues with the car (knock on wood). I've had it since May '06 and now have 8,500 miles on it. Good luck to the rest of you Magnum owners out there.
#42 of 73 Re: Problems starting [luckytiki] - Also having this problem! by george5 Jan 01, 2007 (10:03 pm)
Replying to: luckytiki (Aug 27, 2006 12:26 pm) I am also having the EXACT same problem with my 2006 Dodge Magnum, but I have an R/T with a HEMI engine. Rough idle for first two minutes with car shaking at red lights, AND it doesn't start at times after sitting for 2 to 4 hours after being driven. My car's build date is April 2006. Have taken it in to dealer - CERRITOS DODGE THREE times already, and they keep telling me the rough idle is NORMAL. There is no excuse for a brand new car to shake like this at red lights. So far I have 900 miles on the car, and took it in as soon as I noticed the problems. If anyone knows what's happening, PLEASE HELP. I am FED UP with the problems with this car already.
#43 of 73 Shaking at Lights by vinny68 Jan 11, 2007 (8:35 pm)
I have an '06 Magnum RT and it does shake a little when idling but I like it. I think it is supposed to be that way. It's just the 340 horses struggling to break free! I posted that question over at LXFORUMS.com and everyone with a hemi that replied said their's did it too. Replies to this message: george5 (Jan 17, 2007 3:03 pm) femia71 (Aug 09, 2007 2:59 pm)
