2005 DODGE MAGNUM Complaints

2005 DODGE MAGNUM MAKE S A BUZZING NOISE FROM THE TRUNK AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. *TS ***NAR*** THE CONSUMER NOTICED THE INNER PANELING AROUND THE HATCH DOOR WAS NOT CUT PROPERLY. ONE SIDE WAS FLUSH, INSIDE THE GROOVE AND THE OTHER SIDE WAS SLIGHTLY SEPARATED, WHICH CAUSED THE VIBRATION. THE CONSUMER PLACED SMALL PIECES OF CUSHION INSIDE THE OPEN AREAS TO HOLD THE PANEL STEADY. THE FABRIC MOLDING AROUND THE WINDOW WAS SAGGING. THE WINDOW CONTROLS ON THE REAR LEFT SIDE SUNK INTO THE DOOR AND THE WINDOW LOCKED ON ITS OWN. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE A RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION AND THE DEALER HAD THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE ALL DAY AND FAILED TO INFORM THEM THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET TO THEIR VEHICLE. *JB

WE HAVE AT THE TIME 13,750 MILES ON OUR NEW CAR AND THE CONTINENTAL CONTI SEAL TIRES, 225/R60 18 ARE WORN OUT. CONTINENTAL WILL ONLY GIVE US $60.00 PER TIRE AND THEY EXPECT US TO PAY $500.00 TO REPLACE. PURCHASED CAR IN SEPTEMBER 2004. CONTINENTAL WILL NOT TELL US HOW MANY MILES THESE TIRE ARE TO GET. WE FEEL THAT THE TIRES WERE MADE WITH A SOFT RUBBER AND THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE. SEARS INSPECTED TIRES, AND THEY WILL NOT PASS PA STATE INSPECTION. 2/32 ON MOST OF TIRES.

I AM EXPERIENCING THE SHARP PULL TO THE RIGHT, I WAS TOLD IT WAS"SUPPOSED" TO DO THIS, IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS I WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT IT. I WAS ASSURED THIS WOULD BE THE BEST AND SAFEST CAR I WOULDN'T HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT ACCORDING TO THE SALESMAN. I AM DISAPPOINTED BEING I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THIS VEHICLE, THIS PULLING IS DANGEROUS AND IS GOING TO SEVERELY INJURE OR KILL SOMEONE. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED BEFORE TRAGEDY STRIKES. MTA. *NM

I HAVE LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON MY 2005 DODGE MAGNUM RT WHICH CAME FROM THE FACTORY WITH CONTINENTAL TIRES. THE TREAD IS ALMOST GONE. I HAVE ROTATED THE TIRES EVERY 6000 MILES. IN TALKING WITH OTHER MAGNUM OWNERS, THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME PEOPLE ARE GETTING ADJUSTMENTS FROM THEIR DEALERS, OTHERS ARE NOT. THESE TIRES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THE CAR MANUFACTURE SHOULD RECALL THE CARS FOR ALIGNMENTS (CONTINENETAL TIRE). *NM

MY GAUGE LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS FLASH AND FLICKER EVERY TIME THEY ARE TURNED ON. THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR HAS SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE CAR, AND ALSO BRING IN THE REGIONAL SERVICE REP. AFTER LOOKING AT THE CAR, THEY (THE DEALERSHIP) AGREED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE BUT NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE STATE, AND USED THE LEMON LAW ASKING FOR EITHER A NEW CAR OR A REPLACEMENT. MY REQUESTS DIRECTLY TO DODGE AND USING THE STATE HAVE BEEN DENIED. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, AND I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT WILL NOT BE FIXED. *NM

THE OEM TIRES ON OUR 2005 DODGE MAGNUM RT ARE DOWN TO 2/32" TREAD DEPTH AT 17,903 MILES. THE TIRES ARE CONTINENTAL CONTITOURING CONTACT 225 60R18. I HAVE ROTATED THEM WHEN REQUIRED AND HAVE CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE REGULARLY. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE TREAD LIFE OF THESE TIRES. *JB
