Front Suspension Problems of Dodge Magnum

2006 Dodge Magnum needs front strut/suspension repairs at 60k. Dlr stated this is common problem. At first damage was estimated at 20% damage (only needed new tie rod ends), but now both front strut tension links need replacement plus alignment (over $1000 in repairs). This is a known weak spot in model design (see other complaints). A recall should be issued, consumers are paying for this known design flaw/defect out of pocket.

I do not know what kind of accident of injury it may cause but I have a 2005 Dodge Magnum and I have had the bushing changed on the front end the front end is causing all kinds of problems and I know several others who have had the work repaired and it have ran into the thousands of dollars. The 300 Chrysler which is pretty much made on the same line as the "Dodge has had the same front end problem and at this time until I find out what's wrong I wont be traveling any distance. It sounds like something is about to fall apart every bump feel like its hitting the frame and popping sound when the wheel is turned all the way. I bought new tires because of the short life they showed at 30,000 miles it sounded better and felt better for about a 3 weeks or so and back to the same problems. Any bump sounds or feel as I ran into a foot hole if I could please receive some feed back on this problem.

My son, after exiting the highway turned north on chaffee road to go home. He went to change lanes into the left lane where the road turned to a four lane road and, as reported by a witness, smoke came out from the front right tire area and the car swung to the right hitting a pole. As witnessed, the vehicle was traveling no more than 25 mph. The car was totaled. The front right tire was obviously not on the vehicle because it and the entire front right suspension beat the car to the scene of the crash. It was lying in front of the car. If it were on the vehicle it would have been under it due to the way the pole took out the front right side of the car all the way into the passengers compartment. The police reported it as a mechanical failure.

The contact stated while driving vehicle it will pull to the right. The dealer said it was out of alignment. This caused the tread to wear off the tires. The dealer realigned the front and rear suspension to factory specifications. They did not offer an explanation why the vehicle was out of alignment. The problem seemed to improve, but was progressively getting worse. The dealer referred her to contact the manufacturer.

The front end alginment of my Dodge Magnum has been in the shop three times and the problem has not been fixed.

Car has a problem with front-end alignment and there is severe front tire wear at only 6,000 miles. I have spoken to many other car owners and they have similar problems. Dealer says it's normal and manufacturer is no help.
