What owners wrote
I have never received any recall for chrysler for the dodge magnum 2006 since I had it for 6 yrs+exited the freeway, and made turn to head towards my designated location. As soon as I cross over the first light ( going the speed limit) my vehicle lost control and accelerated more speed without me able to control the steering wheel causing the car to jerk all over the street. (unable to control steering and brake).
After filling my car and driving on the 710 freeway, while getting on the freeway the car just stalled. The steering got hard to turn as the vehicle was stalled. I managed to cruise to the side of the road and got the vehicle to start again. While driving it did it 2 more times until my gas started to go down. This happens almost every time I fill up the vehicle.
