Transmission fly wheel teeth was broken on both sides of the fly wheel cause it to start funny and miss starting.

I have not had a complete failure. Waiting on that to happen. I purchased a brand new 2005 Dodge Magnum sxt with v6, automatic transmission in 2005 from a dealership. It had approximately 36 miles on it. I have not had the pulling to the right everyone else had, but it does make a funny scrubbing sound while driving as if the tire was rubbing against the car on the right rear passenger side and several other problems that are common. I have depressed the brake and felt vibrations from pedal on several occasions. The car doesn't seem to be able to stop completely. I even got out to look,thinking I hit something. A few months ago, the power outlet located inside the astray stopped working. It blew a fuse, I replaced it. Then, two weeks ago, the power outlet in the console stopped working. Just two days ago, the battery went dead for the second time in three months. I replaced the battery again. Now all the sudden the ac/heater stopped working. You can hear it trying to come on, but the fan motor doesn't seem to be coming on. We've noticed that the headlights seem to surge at night. I will be taking our car in to the dealership, along with copies of complaints from other consumers.

Bottoming out at less than 5 mph under normal operating conditions, severe grunting/groaning when backing out of parking spot and hitting brakes, frequent alignment needed (every 2 - 3k miles), frame bolts need periodic torquing. Multiple servicing under warranty on suspension. Car now has 57000 miles and again has warranty repairs for suspension issues and now they tell me that rear frame needs to be replaced because bushings are shot - priced at several thousand dollars - stating bushings are not covered under warranty. These are serious defects.

2005 Dodge Magnum rt, continental tires started showing tread wear at 6000 miles. Dealer at 9000 miles made note of unusual tread wear and blamed it on excessive speed. At 11,000 miles 2 out of the 4 tires were completely worn through and the other 2 almost worn through. Car is 1. 3 years old and has only been driven 11,000 miles. Dealer will not replace tires and continental will only give a 50% rebate on the tires but will not reimburse for mounting and alignment. Car also pulls to the right consistently.

Premature tire wear on my o5 Dodge Magnum r/t. I have replaced the front tires at 10k miles due to them cupping and balding on the outside edges. I did this and had the front end checked out. Then at 35k miles I had to replace them again!I then took it to a front end shop and they aligned it and said the factory has a bad set of specs as it will wear out the tires in no time!this is not normal or right!.

2005 Dodge Magnum pulls to the right. Upon inspection mechanic informed consumer that all of these vehicles do it and there is no solution. (lawyer wrote in on behalf of consumer).

The front tires are cupping every 3,000 miles. Dealer has checked alignment, rotated the tires and replaced them for free 4 times with 2 different brands of tires. I now have 30,000 miles and the tires are worn out again and the dealer has told me that is just the way it is and to stop coming to them to resolve the issue. It has been quite rainy where I live and I feel that the tire damage is now putting me at risk. The ability of the tires to perform in rain soaked roads has diminished significantly because of the unusual wearing and I feel that it is unsafe to drive the vehicle in any inclement weather. I really hope this issue can be resolved before there is a fatality. Since the tires are so badly worn on the outer edges the vehicle vibrates at highway speeds and seems quite unstable. Any little bump in the highway causes the steering wheel to jerk violently. I am not sure if this is caused by the worn tires or an inherent design flaw in the front end. I know from researching the internet that there are many owners that are having the same problem.

2005 Magnum has problems with the steering and front end alignment. Vehicle pulls to the right. This caused premature wear with tires. *****.

First off I do not feel safe in my Dodge Magnum, I have had it a week and I am not satisfied that this car is safe for me and my kids. 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.

The 05 Dodge Magnum I purchased came with continental tires from the factory. The tires currently have eighteen thousand miles and are near bald. The front tires showed cupping at twelve thousand miles and the front end had to be re aligned. The tires are touring , I believe . They are worthless on snow and ice.

Contact stated the vehicle pulled to the right constantly. The dealer attempted to repair the problem four times since the vehicle was purchased but with no success. The manufacturer will call the contact with an appointment to have vehicle inspected by an engineer. The consumer stated a service district manager came out to inspect the vehicle. The consumer was told it was a design flaw. Updated 02/07/06.

Vehicle tires were severely cupped and consumer alignment was out causing him to replace tires at 16 000. 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.

The vehicle keeps on pulling to the right making the ability to maintain the vehicle straight on the road difficult. Manufacturer has been contacted by consumer.

My 2005 Dodge Magnum has pulled to the right since day one. I have had it to the dealer 3 times and twice they told me that the Magnum is designed to pull to the right as a safety feature to keep you from going into the left lane in an emergency, ie passing out etc. I have that statement in writing on the second service order. Dodge will not take any action.

The vehicle pulls excessively to the right, and all my tires have worn out even with properly rotating them. I have only 22,000 miles on my 2005 Dodge Magnum rt.

Car has pulled right since day one. Been in several times for alignments(5+) two and four wheel. Now my tires are completely shot. Very uneven tread wear.

Since the first time I drove my 2005 Dodge Magnum, it has pulled to the right. The dealer and manufacturer say that they all do that and it is an engineering problem and they can't figure it out nor can they fix it. The car comes up to specs on the alignment and everything is supposedly fine, but it continues to pull to the right.

My 2005 Magnum rt has had a right pull problem since it was purchased. I've taken the vehicle to 3 different dealers to have it fixed. Now it is a mild pull but I'm experiencing uneven tire wear. The dealerships have worked hard to correct the problem but daimler Chrysler is denying that it is a problem. There are hundreds of us that have this problem all through the Magnum internet forums and nobody has gotten Dodge to fix the issue. The vehicle is especially crown sensitive and will run off of the road if you dont keep both hands firmly on the wheel. My car still does not drive straight and the dealer says it is "in spec" and they act as if I'm stupid. The Dodge 1800 number people are useless and only try to send you back to the dealership.

Tl * - the contacts 2005 Dodge Magnum pulls to the right. The contacts suspension failure began at 398 miles. The dealer diagnosed failure as road crown sensitivity. The dealer performed a technical service bulletin on the vehicle at 6,000 miles. The contact had 3 alignments performed within two years. Every time he takes the vehicle into the dealer for maintenance, the tires are rotated. Daimlerchrysler is aware of the failure yet, they are unable to provide a remedy. The contact stated all four tires went bald at 30,000 miles.
