1 Wheel problem

Failure Date: 05/29/2014

I just purchased this vehicle in may 2014. At time of purchase all 4 wheels were showing obvious signs of significant corrosion around the center cap, lug nut area and along the bead of the rim. All tires maintain proper inflation. I just recently attended an all Chrysler car show and while admiring other Magnums on display I noticed several of them had the same corrosion in the same locations as mine. I am not a metallurgist and do not know if this condition will, or has, affected the integrity of the alloy material used in the manufacturing of these rims but it seems to me, if this problem is left unaddressed it has the potential to create a serious safety risk.

2 Wheel problem

Failure Date: 10/23/2012

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). Lost control went off the road instantly hit a tree and spun several times until I hit another tree,and that is what made the vehicle crash and come to a stop.
