2005 DODGE MAGNUM Complaints

VEHICLE TIRES WERE SEVERELY CUPPED AND CONSUMER ALIGNMENT WAS OUT CAUSING HIM TO REPLACE TIRES AT 16 000. *TS THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE WENT OVER A BUMP, THE VEHICLE HIT THE BOTTOM VERY HARD AND THE VEHICLE NO LONGER BOUNCED. THE TIRE COMPANY AS WELL AS THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE PROBLEM WAS SUSPENSION RELATED, HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT IT WASN'T. *JB

I HAVE A 2005 MAGNUM SXT, THE CAR HAS PULLED TO THE RIGHT SINCE DAY ONE, IT HAS BEEN ALIGNED 2 TIMES NOW. THE 2 FRONT TIRES ARE WEARING BADLY ON THE OUTSIDE, THE DRIVER SIDE IS WORSE THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE REQUESTED THAT CHRYSLER REPLACE THE TIRES AT THIS TIME I HAVE NOT HEARD AN ANSWER ON THAT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE WEAR ON THE TIRES IS NOT DUE TO THE CAR PULLING TO THE RIGHT THAT IT IS A WEAR PROBLEM (I GUESS THE WAY I DRIVE) I DON'T AGREE!! MY CAR HAS ALSO STALLED 3 TIMES WHILE GOING IN REVERSE. MY GAUGE LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS FLASH AND FLICKER EVERY TIME THEY ARE TURNED ON THE DEALER HAS SAID THEY HAVE SEEN IT FLICKER ONE TIME, THEY MUST DRIVE WITH THEIR EYES CLOSED!! SOMETIMES THE BACK WINDOW CAN NOT BE ROLLED UP BY THE DRIVERS CONTROLS. *NM

CONTINENTAL TIRES ON 2005 DODGE MAGNUM R/T. AT 13400 MILES THERE WAS LESS THAN 1/8" TREAD. WEAR BARS WERE SHOWING ON ALL 4 TIRES. THESE TIRES DO NOT LIVE UP TO THEIR LISTED WEAR RATINGS. *NM

I HAVE A 5 MONTH OLD DODGE MAGNUM RT WITH 20K MILES. THE TIRES NEED REPLACING AND ARE DOWN TO THE WEAR BARS. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER AND CHRYSLER ARE BLAMING EACH OTHER. THE CAR HAS A NOTED ALIGNMENT PROBLEM, WHICH CHRYSLER FAILS TO ADDRESS. I HAVE COLLECTED MANY POST FROM WEBSITES WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. JUST TRYING TO BE PROACTIVE BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. 2005 DODGE MAGNUM | SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 0200304 DATE OF BULLETIN: 20040525 CODE OF FAILING COMPONENT: 020000 SUSPENSION VEHICLE LEADS TO THE RIGHT. *TT 005 DODGE MAGNUM | SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 0200304 DATE OF BULLETIN: 20050312 CODE OF FAILING COMPONENT: 020000 SUSPENSION RIGHT LEAD/REVISED ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. 2005-2006 CHRYSLER 300/CHARGER/MAGNUM. *SC 2005 DODGE MAGNUM | SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 0200404 DATE OF BULLETIN: 20040615 CODE OF FAILING COMPONENT: 020000 SUSPENSION SUSPENSION/TOWING/LIFTING DAMAGE. *TT #1531 OF 1572 RE: ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR MAGNUM RT? [ALXS] BY TURBINEBEN AUG 29, 2005 (2:46 PM) BOOKMARK | REPLY | E-MAIL MSG REPLYING TO: ALXS (AUG 22, 2005 9:49 AM) I HAVE A 2005 MAGNUM WITH 4000 MILES ON IT, AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. I HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES, THREE FOR THE TIRES BEING WAY OUT OF BALANCE WHEN THE CAR WAS DELIVERED. TWO TIMES FOR ALIGNMENT ISSUES, WHICH HAVE NOW BEEN CORRECTED AND THE CAR TRACKS STRAIGHT. THREE TIMES FOR A POPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT DASH AREA, NEAR THE SPEAKER....THEY HAVE REPLACED THAT FRONT DASH PIECE, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS. EVERYTHING ELSE IS GREAT WITH THE CAR. I JUST NEED TO GET THE POPPING SOUND FIXED SOMEHOW. IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE TI IS ONE OF THE MANY PLASTIC SNAPPY THINGS THAT DODGE USES TO HOLD THE INTERIOR TOGETHER, BUT I AM NOT SURE. *JB

A CAR WITH NO HEADLIGHTS HIT US ON OUR WAY OUT TO DINNER WE WERE QUATER MILE AWAY FROM HOME. WE STOPPED AT THE INTERSECTION AND MADE SURE TRAFFIC WAS CLEAR BEFORE WE PROCEEDED, IT WAS SO WE INDICATED A LEFT TURN AND MOVED OFF. BY THE TIME WE SAW THE OTHER VEHICLE IT WAS TOO LATE, IT HIT US WITH FULL IMPACT AT 100 MILES PER HOUR ON THE LEFT SIDE, NO AIRBAGS WENT OFF. MY BOYFRIEND THE OWNER OF THE CAR RECEIVED A FRACTURED RIB AND HAS PAIN ALONG HIS LEFT SIDE, MY DAUGHTER HAS HEADACHES ALONG WITH PAIN AND BRUISES TO HER LEFT LEG AND SIDE AND I RECEIVED A HIT TO MY FACE ON THE RIGHT SIDE WHICH HURTS IF I TRY TO TURN MY HEAD, PAIN IN MY RIGHT WRIST AND A LITTLE SWELLING AND PAIN TO THE LEFT ELBOW. THE FAILURE OCCURED TO ME WHEN THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T GO OFF. FOR THE TYPE OF VEHICLE WHICH IT IS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM HEMI ( SILVER) DO WE HAVE A VALID COMPLAINT AND IF SO, HOW CAN WE RECEIVE SOME KIND OF COMPENSATION FOR THE FAILURE OF THE AIRBAGS AND THE PROPER STEPS WE SHOULD TAKE TO MAKE SURE THIS COMPLAINT IS REGISTERED AND WHERE TO GO AFTER RECEIVING SOME KIND OF RESPONSE FROM YOUR WEB SITE. *JB

I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON APRIL 4, 2005 AND HAD THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND VALVE BODY REPLACED ON APRIL 17, 2005. HARD SHIFT INTO GEAR IN THE TRANSMISSION AND ONE DAY WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH AND THE TRANSMISSION CAME OUT OF GEAR AND THEN WENT BACK INTO GEAR. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS I HAD MY 5 AND 6 YEAR OLD CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS RECALLED. I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN THE DEALERSHIP 8 TIMES TO TRY TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE SHOP MANAGER THE GENERAL MANAGER AND THE TRANSMISSION TECH TELL ME THIS CAR IS NOT NORMAL BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START. THEY HAD A REPRESENTATIVE FROM CHRYSLER COME OUT AND LOOK AT IT AND HE DEEMED IT NORMAL. I AM STUCK AND AM GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND FILE UNDER IND. LEMON LAW TO GET ANY RESOLUTION. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR EVEN KILLED. *JB

DT: WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ABOUT 3 TIMES TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. . THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HIM THAT THE CYLINDERS WERE BUILT TOO SMALL, CAUSING THE VALVES TO STICK, AND THAT WAS CHRYSLER'S PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER TOLD HIM TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE LEMON LAW. THE CONSUMER FELT THIS WAS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM AND THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE AWARE OF IT. *AK

I BOUGHT A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM ON APRIL 9. ON APRIL 15 I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE STOPPED AT RED LIGHT. WHEN I TOOK OFF THE CAR WAS SLUGGISH AND WOULD NOT CHANGE GEARS. THE CAR WAS STUCK IN SECOND GEAR. THE DEALER HAD THE CAR FROM APRIL 15 UNTIL APRIL 29. THEY NEVER DID EXPLAIN WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT ALL THEY REPLACED BECAUSE MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP NOW. THIS HAPPENED IN JUNE JULY AND AUGUST ALL UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND A MAN NAMED LARRY MCCLAIN CONTACTED ME. HE WAS IN TOUCH WITH THE DEALER EVERY TIME THEY HAD THE CAR. HE ALWAYS RETURNED MY CALL UNTIL THIS TIME WHEN I SAID THE CAR FELL UNDER THE NC LEMON LAW. EACH TIME THE DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THE THIRD TIME THAT A SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED BECAUSE MOISTURE COULD BUILD UP IN A SOLENOID IN THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSE IT TO FAIL. THIS IS WHAT THEY REPLACED THE THIRD TIME. THIS TIME I HAVE NO IDEA BECAUSE NO ONE WILL CALL ME BACK. ALL I WAS TOLD TODAY WHEN I WENT BY THERE WAS THE PART THEY REPLACED DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP IS ANDERSON'S IN WAYNESVILLE. I BOUGHT THE CAR AT THOMAS HLL BURGIN IN KODAK TN AND I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT THE GENERAL MANAGER GENE MORRIS BUT HE WILL NOT RETURN MY CALLS EITHER. NO ONE WILL HELP ME.*JB

2005 DODGE MAGNUM - TRANSMISSION FAILURE 2 TIMES IN 1 WEEK. KNOWN ISSUE WITH DODGE - SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED. TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED AS PER BULLETIN - PICKED UP CAR FROM DODGE REPAIR, JASPER DODGE, JASPER ALABAMA, DROVE 115 MILES WITH 3 YEAR OLD AND 7 YEAR OLD IN VEHICLE AND TRANSMISSION SHUT DOWN DOING 70 MPH ON HWY 78. COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. SINCE THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SINCE IT APPEARS THAT THEIR SERVICE REPAIR FAILED TO RESOLVE PROBLEM - I PERSONALLY FEEL THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE A FATAL ACCIDENT OCCURS. AT 70 MPH VEHICHLE JUST LOST ALL POWER. HAD I BEEN IN A MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREA, I MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SO LUCKY.

2005 DODGE MAGNUM BOUGHT NEW - HAS ALWAYS PULLED TO THE RIGHT. DEALER HAS DONE 5 FRONT END ALIGNMENTS AND REPLACED TWO TIRES TO NO AVAIL. IT SEEMS THAT CHRYSLER IS TRYING TO SWEEP THIS NOT UNCOMMON PROBLEM UNDER THE RUG. DEALER PLAYED GAMES WITH DATES ON INVOICES AND SERVICE RECORDS IN ATTEMPT (IN MY OPINION) TO HOLD OFF ON MY BEING ABLE TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION. THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN WITHOUT IT VEERING TO THE RIGHT. IT IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL THAT SUCH A SERIOUS DEFECT BE FIXED BEFORE SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE OCCURS. *JB
