Some Dodge Magnum owners report experiencing issues with the key cylinder falling into the dashboard, which can lead to frustration. These problems may arise if the key cylinder does not fit properly into the housing, causing difficulties when trying to turn the key. Owners are advised to ensure the transmission is in Park, especially in automatic models, to help the key turn. In some instances, using a small heavy object to tap the key may provide a temporary solution. Additionally, if the key cylinder becomes stuck, lubricating it with a graphite-based lubricant can help prevent further issues. Consulting a professional locksmith or mechanic is recommended for those encountering these problems.
